The Suspicion Of repudIation does
not pay. When only the veto of The
Governor Of State stands between
the public creditor and the State,
for the purpose of protecting the
former. it is pretty safe to say that
money-lenders will not be very anx-
iOuS to negotiate lean. The State
Of Virginia is now beginning to
realize this fact. Under the guise
of a "re-adjustment" the Legislature
of Virginia has been not only seri-
ously discussing the reputation Of
a portion Of its honest debt, but has
absolutely voted by considerable
majority to do SO. Now the State
Auditor comes to the front and de-
clares that the supplies are absolute
" exhausted. and that he has not
the funds to run the Government
even for q single day. The "Old
Dominion" the Mother Of Presi-
DENTS" with bare hundred dollars
in the Treasury, and not able 70
borrow a single dollar from either
the banks or capitalists, is not
spectacle calculated to excite emo
tioHs OF satisfaction, but which may
serve to emphasize the truth Of the
old adage, that honesty is the best
policy"

he died on Friday. Another said
he would pay us in a day or two as
sure as he was born. Query-did
the man lie or were he never bornI
Another said he hoped to go to the
devil il he did hot pay US in. three
days. Have not seen him since. but
suppose he's gone. Quite number
said they would see us court day.
These have been stricken blind, or
else court has not come. One man
told US six months ago that he w0uld
pay US as soon rs he got some mon
ey. The man would not lie. and, of
course, hasn't had cent since"
