Virginia Finances

We refer our readers to the letter Of eN-
Secretary McCulloch. OF London, upon Vir-
ginia Finances to be found in another column.
a careful perusal of this document will pre-
sent to rejecting minds picture which few OF
lis care to contemplate, and though it may be
somewhat strongly coored, as claimed by
some. still there is truth enough in it to make
It hurt very badly. 1t is the legitimate fruits
of that legislation that has cursed Virginia ey-
er since the war, and proven more disastrous
to her credit, her name and her prospects than
the combined raids of an hostile army. The
letter speaks for itself, and we advise every
one who has any interest in Virginia Or her flu
lure to consider it well, and in the coming
elector at the ballot box. tell whether or not
the States name shalt be banded about in Eu-
rope, and elsewhere, as the synonym Of bad
faith and virtual reputation.
