A Good Idea.

We desire to specially commend tie
action of Mr.. WoOddell. Of Pocahoutas.
in Offering The resolutions reported III
the Legislative proceedings. 1t reads
abou. Us follows:
Resolved, That the special commit.
toe Of seven, appointed to investigate
the finances of the State, be instructed
to ascertain and report to this house
the amour. ofpublic money in the ag-
gregatc, spent for the support Of tho
Board Of Registration, and other modes
Of DISTINGUISHING the taxpayers of the
State.
Now, that is em9haticnlly good
idea. The gentleman FROM POcuhontas

interested in, and would like to know
Besides, this is a matter which is gen.
orally interesting. In facs, it would
be hard to imagine anything more SO.
1t would be Very gratifying, no doubt,
not only for Democratic members Of

tiers Of the State at large, to know, as
near as may be, the sums Of their own

citizens. And probably when they do
know this, they will not be so ready rs

The Virginia Debt.

The Governor Of Virginia has at las
officially declared what the Legislator,
virtually admitted several years ago
that tho State cannot pay its debt
This debt, the largest Of tho kind ID
the Union, is $44, 753, 900 in Tho ag
grrga,e. OF this $40, $4,000 is ap
priated to Virginia as its share, ani
Sl5, 900 to West Virginia. But
West Virginia does not recognize the
apportionment nor admit the deb; al
Lowell to it. The whole obligation
therefore rests on the State of Virgiuiu,
or what is left Of it. after the yiOleu
division made by Congress during the
war. That it cannot pay it is plat
enough. The value of its ta1ablc prop.
:rty in 1870 was 1855, 900. 900, the
debt therefore more than II per ce"r
on the valuation. If the Stltc Should
become prosperous 1t might at some lu
tue day be able to mauage the debt

The total expenditures for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind Asylum amount to
S57,967 10.
The Directors Of the Pcuitcntiary
ask for $1,000 to furnish tho War
den's house. They ask it on tho
ground that the law rcqlires tho Sup
eriutendent to live in the Warden's
house, aud bis salary does not justify
him in furnishing it for hi, short term
Of Office. The Governor recommends
that public institutions be prohibited
from drawing from the treasury
larger amount OF money than is neces-
sary to pay liabilities already incurred,
and TO meet contingent expenses for
tue month or quarter ensuing. The
practice Of permitting these institutions
to hold large amounts Of money, de-
prives the State OF considerable inter-
est. besides the possession of q large
fund on hand tends to extravaganza in
expenditures on their part.
The Governor then concludes his
message as follows:
al also think it desirable that they
should be prohibited from transferring
or borrowing funds appropriated for
ono purpose to or for another. This
has been done in good faith and to
mcct necessities, no doubt; but the
tendency is to blend the diifere Mt
funds appropriated, and thus ignore
the limitations imposed by tho Legis.
lature. The Constitutional provision
on this point is explicit, and the spirit
should DO respected"
The Governors suggestions arc
worthy Of consideration and We have, DO
