PAYMENT OF THE PUBLIC
DEBT THE PRICE OF LIFE.

Judge Christian, who succeeded
Judge Guigon as Hastings Judge
of Richmond, in his first charge to
his Grand Jury on the 1st instant
said
"The payment of her public debt
is, in my opinion. what it should be,
the price of her future existence as a
Commonwealth"
This is certainly a Legitimate
deduction from the Funding Bill,
but tits is the first time we have
ever heard one of its votaries adj
NIT it, The admission is made by
a judge just recently taken from
the very desk of the Court of Ap-
peals. This then is TO be the law,
that inability to pay debt implies
forfeiture of existence.
