nearly in accordance with the Funding

The bill of the majority proposes to fund
two-thirds Of the debt in bonds running
81 years, bearing interest at 3 per cent for
II years, 6 per cent for the next 10 years
and 9 per cent for the next - years. to be
paid semiannually on the first of January
and July of each year, and prohibits the cou.

for taxes due the State, and provides that
the other one-third will be held in trust for
the holder or his assignees, to the extent Of
the amount Of said third received from West
Virginia 1t gives the following as the
true construction of the Funding Bill, and
as the declared construction of this Bill
''And the State of Virginia hereby de.
clares that, according to the true construc-
ton Of the said act of March 80, 1871, she
is not, and under this act will not, be re.
sponsible for any portion of the onerthisa of
the original debt assigned by said act Of
March 30, 1871, or by this act, to the
State Of West Virginia, except in her ca

we expected to hear Richmond crv
aloud against any but her banks being made
the repositories of the collected funds Of the
State, but in her EXPLANATIONS we did not
expect her to declare that she made nothing

ed embarrassment to borrowers, whenever
the loan was called in &c. The question
readily suggests itself, if such be the incon-
yenlences Of the public deposites in Rich
mond, why contend against their being de-
posted in the local banks in the State.
when it would rid Richmond Of this great
inconvenience We, in the country, who
have been hurried with the sale Of crops to
meet our taxes, are willing to come to the
rescue of our Capital City, and periodically
express our willingness to share her burden
and rid her Of portion of her great ipcon.
Venlence by assuming all the embarrass.
ments OF the deposite in our banks of the
collections in this locality. We doubt not
other localities would willingly do the same.
The objection that the money deposited
in the local Banks can not be readily gotten
at Is the lamest possible excuse. In this
locality we pay our debts in New York,
Philadelphia and Richmond by drafts on our
Banks and we hear no complaints. Our
BANKS have balances in all these cities, and
we suppose this is the case with every Bank
in the State, and hence how idle such an ex-
cuse. The truth is that it is only an ex.
cuse and most impotent one at best. The
retention of the money in the localities where
collected 70: the greatest possible length of
time would be of immense advantage to the
people of those localities, and that is the rea.
son it is desired. 1t does not apply, as we
stated last week, only to the Accommodations
IN the treasury now, but to the collections
year by year as they come. They would be
as safe in Local Banks, would bring as
much interest to the State, would be of gen.
eEal benefit to the people of the State, and
as readily used, all the reasons to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding, and would in the
end be of greater advantage to Richmond
business men than if deposited in the Rich
mond Banks. As the country people are
advantaged SO are the denizens of the cities
and towns
At any rate. every thing likely to benefit
the people or aid them in bearing the bur-
dens of taxation, they want, and as the de.
posite of State Funds, as long as possible,
in the localities where collected will bring
its portion of relief, they want it. The
country members of the Legislature would
do we'll to bear this in mind and act accor-
dinghy.

Report of the West Virginia Debt
COmmissiOners-Basis of AID.
justment for the Old Debt.


Governor Jacobs, in bis annual message,
quotes with approval the reasoning and fig
ures Of the commission appointed on behalf
Of West Virginia to initiate measures look
ing to an apportionment of the old Virginia
debt. They explain as follows the method
by which they ascertain the proportion of
that debt which they regard as equitably
chargeable to West Virginia
We have charged West Virginia with all
that we have found expended within her lin.
its. On the other hand, We have credited
her with her share of the estimated value Of
the public property and assets of Virginia,
other than the property represented 10 the
bonded Indebtedness: This latter quaiized
itself, and therefore does not enter into
the accounts. Virginia has the property
and owes the debt which it represents. We
refer only to the public buildings, institu.
tons and other assets As to West Virgin.
las share in these we can only venture an
approximate estimate. The public buildings,
the common property of the two States, paid
for out of the general revenue, we have IS.
timated at SO. S75, 900. and it woull be rea.
sonable, we think, to estimate West Virgin.

The same statement shows that the sur
plus revenue of the United States deposited
with the States under the act Of Congress.
June 20, 1886, gave Virginia S., 937 ,237, :
81, OF which sum she appears to have re-
celved at least 1892, 300 80. This act
assigned to each State its share of deposits
on the basis of its representation in Con-
gress, and Virginia having, in 1860, thlr-
teen representatives, three Of whom were
from West Virginia, it would seemthat
three thirteenths Of that fund belonged to the
latter satas sai is TseaA- t'a--
To this share of the deposits and her in.
terests in the public property, we add her
proportion of the literary fund. This fund
amounted to $1,5o9, 853. Is. AS it was
apportioned throughout the State on the ba-
sis of the white population, we follow that
rule in assigning to West Virginia three
seventies Of it, that being her ratio of white
population in 1860 oa '7s4os'"

planned, we summarize the account between
the two States as follows:

There has arisen quite difference as to the
construction Of the contract in the "Fund-
ing Bill'' with the creditors of the State
who funded their bonds under it.
As many Of our readers have not read the
Funding Bill" we copy the contract in
the Bird section, as follows: r..
Upon the surrender Of the old and the
acceptance Of the new bond for two-thirda
OF the amount due as provided in the last
preceding section, there shall be issued to
the owner or owners, for the other one third
Of the amount iu upon the old bond, stock
or certificate Of indebtedness so surrendered,
certificate bearing the same date as the
new bond, setting forth the amount of the
bond which is not funded as provided in
the last preceding section, and that pay
ment of said amount with interest thereon
at the rate prescribed in the bond surren.
dered, will be provided for in accordance
with such settlement as shall hereafter be
had between the States Of Virginia and West
Virginia in regard to the public debt Of the
State of Virginia existing at the time of its
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and that the State of Vir.
ginia holds said bonds, so far as unfunded,
in trust for the holder or his assignees.
We have all along construed this section
Gas have majority of those who have op.
posed the Funding Bill as assuming only
the proportion due from our dismembered
old Commonwealth, and leaving to West
Virginia the one-third Of the debt, as her
fair share, to pay, Virginia assuming to pay
to such of the creditors as West Virginia
did not settle directly with. only that por.
ton Of the one-tbird which West Virginia
agreed to pay, be it much or little This
was the only feature of the ''Funding Bilr'
which commended it at all to US. Under
this construction of the above contract, and
believing that West Virginia, with one-third
of the population and area of the old State,
was justly bound !or one-thi' of the debt,
and as large proportion Of the debt had
been funded, we believed it better not to in
terfere with the Funding Bill.
Since then we observe that an entirely
different construction has been placed on this
contract-viz: that Virginia is only thereby
given time on the vne third, until she settles
with West Virginia, and is then bound to
make up any deficit of the one third, which
West Virginia does not find herself bound
to, or refuses tc pay, and as the West Va.
Commissioners declare that State should on
ly pay about one million of the whole debt,
it materially effects our opinion of the Fund
ing Bill. If this be the construction of the
contract intended, then the only commenda.
BILE feature Of the Funding Bil'' is done
away with. .At .a-
We are not in favor of the reputation
schemes Of the d,y. but, on the contrary,
are in favor of paying whatever Virginia
owes, but not und r. the "Funding Bill'' as
thus construed. 80

The War of the Republican factions in
New Orleans came near a elimination on
Monday. Carter, the ousted speaker of the
House, issued proclamation to his faction
to hold themselves in re ,diness, on Monday,
to take, by force. possession of the Hall Of
the House Of Representatives. Gov. War
moth strengthened his Police and Militia,
and telegraphed Carter's proclama ton to
President Grant, and everything boded a
bloody collision. President Grant ordered
Gen. Emory to hold his troops in readiness
to suppress conflict. Carter then subsidized
and requested his friends not to bring on a
conflict and they accordingly dispersed.
This war of the factions has damaged the
business Of New Orleans greatly. Itshould
be stopped even if it required the extermi-
