n''e Such hnancinl legislation adopted as will
restore the credit of the State. ~No interest yos
paid on the funded debt last year. Another s;x
month interest will be due on the 1st of .yulv
next Governor Hampton says lie will take
measures TO have this paid, and the unpaid in
terest OF 1876, will be funded Owing TO the
manipulntions of Chamberlain and his gang of
Piunder.rs it is impossible to estimate with ouv
approach TO correctness what the funded debt of
the State Is, and Governor Hampton will send n
commission to New York to confer with the
holders of the State bonds on the subject His
intention is 10 provide hereafter for The regular
payment of the interest on the State debt and
TO establish sinking fund for its ultimate ex-
tincton.
Governor Hampton will also recommend IN
his Legislature to enact certain necessary cduco.
uohai measures. The present school system of

While here it was reported that he had commit.
