The Virs tnia Funding Bill.
baltimore Sun, March 27.l


The Virginia State Senate yesterday con-
for funding the debt of the State, and it now
goes to Gov. Holiday for his action. AS the
Governor Is known to favor the measure, he
will doubtless give it his approval at once.
The Funding Association OF the United States
of America, limited, and its associates, repre-
sent 5000, 900 OF the total debt OF $340000 600.
The plan for funding the debt is to issue
registered and coupon bonds, dated January
l, 1879, the principal payable in 1919. with in
terest at per cent for ten years, per cent
for the next twenty years, ana 5 per cent for
last ten years, payable at Richmond, New
York. or London, on January and July in
each year until tbs principal is redeemed.
The State has the option to redeem any or all
OF the bonds by paying the principal and ac-
crued interest at any time after the expira-
tion OF ten years from January /, 1879. The
coupons will be receivable at maturity for all
taxes, debts, dues and demands of the State
The holder OF registered bonds will be enti-
tied to receive a certificate for interest, and
this certificate will be good for taxes or other
demands due the State. The bonds, coupons
and certificates are non-taXable. The law
will be binding If, on or before May t, the
council OF foreign bondholders and the Fund
ing Association tile their assent with the Gov
ernOr, and they may present for funding at
least IS, ,000,00O OF the outstanding obligations
of the State on or before January l, $780,
Every six months thereafter they may fund
S5,O0O,000 until the Whole debt OF S34, 600, 600
Is funded In the year 1855, and annually
thereafter until all the new bonds are issued,
there will be collected a tax OF two cents on
the 500 of the assessed valuation OF all prop
erty for sinking fund.

The Worlds New Orleans special says the
negro exodus continues In the northern part
OF the State. It is rudely estimated that
10000 negroes will have left by the time the
fever Of emigration ends The reduction OF
wages, owing to the low prices of cotton, Is
the main cause. but an eff 'rt is made to give
it the appearance Of fear that another election
may touch them in life or limb. Really no
such fear is entertained by the emigrants.
They have had no yield for the labor of last
year, and see no prospects of improvement.
Some, therefore, leave on the inducements by
railroad men from Arkansas, and others fol-
low It is notable that there is little emigra-

The ease with which Antofagasta was taken

WASHINGTON. April 1.-The Wallace com
mittee to-day examined Henry Baker and n.
B Twizel, Of this city, who were clerks for
tho Republican committee and who collected
funds from the department clerks. They
corrobolated the previous testimony OF Secre-
tary Gafham, and stated that they knew Of
no dismissals Of clerks who refused to contri-
butte. Both bore Gorham out in the statement
that no clerks salary was taxed under $1,000.
II. /. Squire, messenger In the War Depart
ment, testified that his pay was $40 per year.

sengers and laborers who received the same

did not pay.

ness. He was clerk OF the Richmond Va,
postoffice when Gorham's circulars were sent
out. He received one, but did not contribute
anything, The witness pocketed 1t and said
nothing. Shortly after that he was dis
charged and the supposed reason was his

The lotteries are in bad way, and now the
Louisiana lottery, that has boldly piled its
business even in Missouri, where it is with
out shadow of legality, has come to an un-
timely end by the repeal Of its charter. OF
course there will be any amount Of litigation
20 90 follow this, but it is well enough to note
that an effort has been made to take awayi its
only legal prop. Meanwhile the present grand
Jury, which has undertaken to make the lot
lery question speciality, would do well to
nole t,. the prohibition Of the law against the
puolcatlon OF lottery advertisements, which
IS regularly broken once every month in the
local papers in the interests Of this same
