The VIRGINIA DEBr.-James G. Taylor,
Attorney General of the State of Virginia,
has given an opinion of the effect of the act
Of the Assembly declaring that coupons of
the consolidated debt shall not be receivable
for taxes in which he says
''It is my opinion that the funding of the
public debt will be continued until the whole
debt is funded Or the law authorizing it is
repealed, and that the exchange of register
ed bonds for coupon bonds may be made as
heretofore, with the exception only that all
coupons hereafter issued will not bear the
promise that they are receivable in payment
Of all taxes, debts, dues and demands due
to the State"
In consequence Of this opinion, Treasu-
rer Mayo has stopped the funding of bonds,
and will not resume until new coupons are
printed, which will require from thirty to
sixty days.

During the administration of Van Buren,,
Startout, the Collector of Customs at New

created an intense excitement from one end
Of the country to the other, and caused the
defeat Of the dominant party. How times
have changed. Defalcations of public off.

On the authority Of Il gentleman who had
Investigated the matter to some extent we
recently stated that thousands of acres Of
land in Virginia, much of it arabic, was um.
taGed because the assessors could find no
claimant or owner. We thought that til g
question raised was of sufficient Importance
to justify some formal inquiry by the Cen
eral Assembly. The following statements
by the Richmond correspondent of the Pc.
tersburg Indea indicate the necessity Of a
thorough re-survey of Virginia:
During the past year the Register Of the
Land Office has so!i 20, 900 acres Of land
at 81 per acre. The party purchasing a
warrant receives no guarantee from the Com
monweath at all /; if he can find the number
Of acres, or any part of the number of acres
called for, in any county of the State, by
presenting his warrant to the principal sur
veyor he is authorized to take possession
There is no record in the Land Office to tell
what land has regularly passed out of the
hands of the State. So parties hunt up
lands which have never had claimants and
buy a warrant for them, taking all the
risks. A party in Floyd county has re-
Gently purchased 1000 acres in this way.

months has an owner turned up
