VIRGINIA

NEW York, Sept 30.-A dispatch from
Richmond, Va, says that Gov, Halliday,
the state treasurer, and the auditor of
public accounts, have had conference
with some presidents of bauks the object
being to obtain loan of $3.50 600 for the
parpose of paying the expenses of the
public schools; the schools have just been
reopened but there is not dollar in the
state treasury with which to carry them
on, or to pay arrearages, and salaries are
due since last session; the teachers are
clamoring for their pay, and in some cases
they have actually refused to begin the
labors of the present session until they
have received the amount due them for
last. 1t is claimed that the taxes levied
and collected for the support of the public
schools have been perverted to other uses,
but principally to defraying expenses OF
the state government. Gov, Halliday set
forth the extraordinary exigencies of the
occasion and made an earnest appeal to the
bankers for the loan, pledeing himself as
the executive to see that the amount would
be paid when the legislature meets He
was seconded by the other state officers,
the bankers did not at the conference ad.
vance the needed money, and it is said
they are not disposed to make the loar
without the proper security.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. 80 1t is re-

the Russian governor of Bulgaria,
has refused TO recognize the nine
teeHth article of the treaty of
Berlin entrusting the administra-
tion of the finances of Eastern Roumelia
TO the international commission appointed
for the organization of that province. The
alarmingly rapid depreciation of paper
money continues, and has caused the most
serious apprehension; at the beginning OF
last week it had only about one third of
its value, and since that time has fallen
lower, for it is no longer accepted in pay
meut OF tithes, and is consequently flowing
into Constantinople from all sides; the
sultan has given strict orders that euer-
getic measures at once be taken, and for
this purpose has nomirated commission
with little probability, however, of any
practical result.
