DEAR SENTINEL: Since my last the
House has boen engaged in heated
discussion over section Of tho ap~
preparation bill, which provides for
100000 to pay the interest on the
public iobt. Those who opposed the
bill, based their opposition upon tho
ground that the bonds wcro fraudu>
lent, and shoald be ropudiated, and
that tho antc-bcllum debt should be
paid in full, dollar for dollar. If this
course was adopted, the debt would
be larger than it will be under the
funding act, and the taxpayers would
be tho sufferers in /. consequence. a
portion of tho bonded debt since the
war is certainly valid and binding,
thatis, if tho. resolutions, acts and all
tho laws since made arc constitutional.
This question has been finally settled
by an acquiosconco by tho Democratic
party, it is too lato in the day TO raise
that question now. Tho Democrats
in the last campaign pledged them.
selves to stand by the settlement of
the public debt under tho funding act,
and last wintor tho Wallace House, so
called, passed. q resolution unanimous
ly to tho Same effect. So it will be
seen that we are into it, and are
honorably bound to meet it, that is
the legal portion of it. OF course no
bond having the least taint of fraud
about it will cvor be paid. The bill
passed To third reading to day, but
the amount for tho intol est on the pub
lie dobt was reduced to $270,500. The
whole amout appropriated as before
stated by me will require a seven mills
tax. This is much less than we have
over paid in any ono year since re-
construction, and will, in the course
of a year or two, be able TO still fur
ther reduce the amount.
Tho two Houses went into joint
assembly on ycster day for the pur-
pose of electing seven Trustees of the
State University. The following gen
tlemen were elected, viz:
Rov. E. J. Mynardie, II. w. Boyd,
B. F. Perry, +. w. McMaster, G. II.

pervision the University will assume

The Public Debt.

We aro omphatically opposed to
paying any interest on the public
debt until it bo clearly asccrtaincd
what part of it is fraudulent, if there
is any means Of knowing this fact.
The Legislature should make no tax
levy for this purpose till the bona fide
Indebtedness bo clearly ascortained.
That thoro are fraudulent claims upon
the State is generally conceded, and
we hopo the Legislature, now discus

for this purpose.

money collected for that purpose can
then be used for other purposes, and
the taxos will only bo lower next
