VIRGINIA'S DEBT.

OPPOSITION OF THE READJUsTERs TO THE
FUNDING BILL BEFORE THE HoUsE-PRoB-
ABLE ACTION OF THE CONVENTION TO-DAY.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
RICHMOND, Va, Feb "a, 1873.
There are quite a number Of delegates here to
attend the convention Of readjusters which Will
meet in this city tomorrow at twelve NJ and there
will doubtless be pretty fair attendance The
adusters will insist upon the utter rejection Of any
liability in any manner degree for that portion Of
the old debt known as West virginias third. Tho
public free schools to be specially guarded and
fostered, and compromise be considered
which shall not concede to them fully all that has
provided for their maintenance by the laws and
constitution.
A DELUsIvE SCHEME.
As to the McCulloch bill now pending. the read
justers will dcnounce it delusive scheme, which.
Offering to accept three per cent for ten years. de-
mands four per cent for twenty years and i've per
cent for ten years. with an entire exemption from
taxation. which makes the actual rate equal to four
per cent for ten five per cent for twenty years
and six per cent for ten years: This scheme. they
say. also dscriminates against the 'peelers." con-
Se ptform 10 Of Which proclaimed
that the debt should be settled upon
the basis Of the present revenue and that placed all
classes of creditors upon the same footing. This
bill also. it is claimed. retains the tax receivable
coupon and places the whole matter Of refunding in
sociations, to all OF which the readjusters will not
consent.
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE 10 DE SECURED.
There will be independent organization devised
by the Convention, and to its ranks will be invited all
parties and colors opposed to higher taxation, in
favor Of the public schools. and for settlement
within the derived from the present rate Of
levy As to the present session of the General Assem-
bly, they say it is too its close to attempt any
thing. of much consequence. The effort Of the
readjusters will be to elect majority of the next
Legislature. in which measures expected to
be carried through in accordance with the views
already given. 1t is expected, too that this Conven-
ton will declare state Constitutional Conven-
ton deal with the debt and other questions but
that is not yet fully determined on, many road
justers are not in favor Of the Convention
There likely to be serious differences Of opinion
in the Convention tomorrow but it is believed by
those here that its proceedings will be a. hsr.
monious can be expected.
