THE ODD, AT RICHMOND.
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
RICHMOND, Jan. IL. 1879.
The lower house of the Legislature has been en-
gagged for the past few days in the discussion Of
resolutions inviting the State creditors to confer
in regard to settlement Of the debt. The debt
payers pressing the resolutions and the read
justers opposing them were DESTROYS of put
ting them in shape least likely Of being acceptable
the creditors. Yesterday resolutions were passed
by the House inviting the creditors both foreign and
American, TO conference here the nd inst, aud
the Senate will act upon them on Monday next
They will also probably pass that body in their
present shape. The discussion has been earnest and
the form at last adopted is the result of compro-
mise of conflicting views. 1t is Of the utmost i'm
portance that the creditors shall accept the
and be present, either in person by proxy The
egn creditors must, OF course. appear by proxy as
they will not have time to meet the appointment in
person. The invitation calls on Mr.. Bouverie Messrs
Barring. Rothschild Richard Irving Il Co. and Hugh
Mccullough and Charles NJ Foy. by particular dcsg-
nation, and all other creditors generally to come.
PROBABLE CONDITIONS OF THE COMPROMISE.
The best opinion here seems to be that settlement
will be reached upon the basis that pro-
some notifications thereof. Assurcdly no settle
ment more favorable to the creditors than this can
be hoped for, and even this must be modified
In some essential particulars. For instance,
1t will be very difficult to obtain any pro-
vision for the payment Of interest upon the
already accrued interest, on tho different classes
of debt The most extreme debt payers now only
hope to obtain settlement upon the basis Of
bonds bearing four per cent interest and the CLASH

which will probably come hereafter.
