REMARKS OF Mr. THOMAS. In the State
Senate on Friday last Mr.. Thomas OF Fairfax
said had he been present on Thursday he
would have voted to override the Governor 5
veto and for the interest BILL He regarded
this bill as the first practical result looking to
the redemption of the obi cations and sustain
ing the faith and credit CT the Stle. No one,
in view of the developments here, would have
the hardihnnd to say that we could pay SIX per
cent upon our debt without Il very large in,
crease of taxation, which no one is willing to
impose upon his impoverished constituency
In paying four per cent. We pay all We are able
10 nav. and generous creditor will he satisfied
with it. The payment of four per cent creates
an inevitable necessity for the repeal of the
law authorizing the coupons Tor interest to Ge
received in payment of taxes These coupons
are at the rate of six per cent. and If they are
received at their face value the fear, is that
the whole revenue of the State will be received
in coupons, thereby occasouing great difficulty
in carrying on the government. Su long Is no
interest was paid upon the public debt this ne
ce-sitv did not exist but SO soon you pay out
the money iu hand, we must take care to sup
ply the vacuum with the means necessary to
carry on the government
He believed that our creditors would he sat
fed with. this earnest On our part topay accor-
d.ng to the measure OF Our ability. Blu il, un-
fortunately, there shall l'c sumc who think
they can compel the payment of the additional
two per cent. he desired to give them the OPP
portunity of testing the question before the
court This can only be done by the repeal OF
the law: for in no other way can the conSiltu
touallty of the law he tested. The Governor
is in error when he supposes the Supreme
Court of Appeals would express an opinion
upon the request Of the legislature. This
would be departure from the high position it
occupies. and transform it into an arblter to
compound the differences between the Execu-
tive and Legislative departments. Believing
the creditor will be satisfied he did not think
the requirement in the bill, that the receipt OF
interest shall be taken, to be AL acqulcscnce III
the bill a matter Of uuch import. If the Gre
ditor is not satisfied and appeals to the court,
and it should be determined that this is an IT.
repealable contract this provision will not
DEPRIVE him of any of his rights by virtue OF
the contract, but he had an abiding faith that
there will be no conflict He had hal assurau-
ces from our creditors all over the country that
this will be satisfactory: especially will 1t be 80
when they discover our great sucltude to IN
crease our revenues, by new subjects Of TAXI
ton to comply to the letter with our contracts.

early hour our streets were alive with
the young and gay thronging to. the

amid shouts and strains of music we
moved out. Immediately the feast OF

nuts, and lemonade were furnished by
gallant youths, with liberal hand.

beautiful town of Americas. Stopping
but a moment 70 take on new recruits,

rashed from the coaches and to the
lovely grove hard by the town. Be-
meath the spreading boughs busy hands

and bountitul repast. No bell was
needed to bring us to the feast. Only
one sad countenance was found in all
the throng-Bro. Kelly had counted
on chicken without stint. He simply
surveyed the table and then number
ed the mouths--three chickens and
nine to feed. on, how my heart bled
for him, and yet how my stomach
yeaFned for the chicken. But for the
abundance. of other things he would
have been inconsolable. Dinner dis
patched-boating, singing and GRO
quoting were next on the programme.
At three O'Clock the vote vas taken
whether we should leave at half-past
four or half-past five. The latter hour
prevailed by an overwhelming major
ity. Some fine songs by the Sunday
school were enthusiastically cheered
by the citizens of Parkerville, and re-
sponded to by their band. Swiftly

o'clock was soon upon US. All were at
the train on time. Our return home
was wildly joyous. forgot to meme
