From the Wytheville Enterprise.
The EVIL of the Times.

The action of the Legislature upon the
question of public and private debts, and
the discussions in the press consequent
thereupon, indicate that the present is one
of the most disastrous periods through
which Virginia has passed in her eventful
career. Should the party which squints at,
if it does not openly ayow, reputation OF
pecuniary obligations succeed in carrying
its measures scene will be presented in this
Commonwealth at the contemplation OF
which We shudder. Various movements in
the General Assembly, and certain outgiv-
ings of country meetings and leading papers,
evidence that spirit is being engendered
among us fatal to republican principles and
destructive of republican virtue.
The people cry out for relief, but their cries
will be in vain; for they demand relief which
their lawmakers cannot give. They ask to
be relieved of their debts, and that the intol-
elabie burden of taxation be lifted from their
shoulders. Now, we can tell the people how
to get rid of their debts. There is one way,
and one way only, by which to be relieved
Of either public or private debts, and that is
IL pay them. 1t is useless to refine upon this
or u attempt to dodge the issue. It's of
no avail to pass laws allowing juries to con-
slider the equities" Of the case, or to at
tempt to mske compromises 81 based upon
your ability to pay" After all the trouble
you will be Whsae you were at the start.

Tho New Funding Ellis.

We expressed the hope in our last issue
that the committee OF thirty-two would be
able to devise some method by which the
credit Of Virginia might be maintained,
creditors have exact justice meted to them,
and the people be saved from onerous taxa
ton. We publish in our columns the result
of their labors-the majority and minority
report Of the committee, each Of which we
presume will have earnest and honest adYo-
Gates.
The majority report repeals the funding
bill, and undertakes to fund anew, principal
and interest. 1t declares that according to
the true construction Of the funding bill Vir-
ginia is not responsible for any part of the
onethird of the original debt assigned by
TINT act to West Virginia. 1t prohibits all
persons now or hereafter authorized to col
lect or receive taxes or dues of the State of
Virginia from receiving in payment thereof
any coupons issued under the provision OF
the act of March, 1871 (the funding billy.
It provides for the payment Of the interest
at the rate of three per cent. per annum for
twelve years, six per cent. per annum for
ten years, and nine per cent. per anulIm fer
twelve years, and provides that in the year
1880, and annually thereafter, there shall be
levied tax Of two cents on the hundred
dollars to go to the credit of the sink
ing fund. These are briefly the leading fea-
lures Of the bill as reported by the commit
tee.
