Governor Kemper ON she Virgsnia
Funding Law.
RICHMOND, VA, March 27.-Gover-
nor Kemper to-day sent message to
the Legislature relative to the State debt,
in regard to the act of March 18th,
known as the funding bill. He says
however unwise Or precipitate its enact
ment, it were idle to question its validi-
ty. 1t was the act of q competent
author. Under it, bonds of the State
have been executed and delivered, and
we cannot 60 behind them. Never
theless, the utmost resources of the
State are unequal to their fulfillment.
He recommends an arrangement
with the creditors of the State for the
payment of two-thirds Of the interest
in cash, with certificates for the deferred
interest, until the resources of the State
become sufficient for payment In full,
and the payment win be arranged as
soon as practicable. The income Of the
State is adequate to do this much, but
no more, without danger OF bankruptcy.
