The readjusters and funders have differed so
widely In their statements as to what the amount
OF the Virginia debt really Is that the public mind
has been more or less confused upon the subject
The funders have persistently maintained that the
oeDt, exclusive OF the one-third assigned to West
Virginia. amounted to So. 0OO,O co., while the
readjusters have insisted that Ii was less than
&oO0OCOO. The report of the second auditor OF the
state, which Is just published and must be ac-
copied as authority, shows that the funder eSti-
mate Of the debt Is much nearer correct than that
OF their opponents This report shows the prin-
ciph at the close of the last fiscal year, to have
been se9,614,79a This is the principal, less
e15 s9 $40, which is recognized by Virginia as the
one-third proportion OF the debt belonging to West
Virginia. Operations under the McCulloch fund
ing act ceased in January, $780, and from that date
the interest accumulated, and on the 1st of last
July 1t amounted, all told, to $,977, 375. 50;
which added to the principal made the total Of
the debt reach S34 592 IS The second auditors
statement OF the debt is made public at an oppOr-
tune time in view OF the early meeting OF the re-
adju5ter legislature, and the declarations of the
leaders and organs of that party that they intend
tn pay the '.hOneSt' debt of the state. These dec
larationS, however, have invariably been accom-
panied by the positive assertion that the "honest'
debt amounted to less than SD 0O0, 900. Now that
the state officer whose duty 1t Is 20 know the Off
etal condition and status of the debt shows 1t to
be considerably in OF readjuster estimates,
IL remains To be seen whether that party will re-
cede from its erroneous figures and pay the
"honest' debt it really exists II the read
1usters do less than this, then they are repudia-
tionstS, and no amount OF special pleading to
interest that sought TO be eliminated" can make
them anything else. The assertion made by
adjuster organ that the state rendered payment OF
the interest in gold during the rebellion Is too alb
surd to receive credit with the additionally
eredulous marine. The states in rebellion during
the years between 1861 and 1855 were not handling
much gold, nor did any of them worry much about
the payment OF interest on their debts. The Vir-
GINA debt to-day is, according to the authority Of
the state, In excess of ST. 100000 Any attempt to
decrease either principal or interest without the
free consent OF the creditors is rank reputation
and II the read busters shall arbitrarily "eliminate'
any part thereof they Will in all probability, sud-
denly find themselves deprived OF that northern
republican support which so recently enabled them
TO carry the state.
