THE VIRaINIAN displays the eleven
hoof Of Funderism, however. in what it
saws in opposition to REIMBURSEMENT of the
Debt, and i'm favor of an increase OF the
rate of taxation at the very moment when
the re-assessment OF our lands proves that
we are intrinsically poorer than at any pre-
viOus period since the war. "-Whig,
We expected this. 1t is the line Of argu-
ment which is to be presented to sustain
the RiddIeberger bill. which pract ically re-
pudiates sl3.OO0,00O. that legally and
morally belong to the creditors. So far
from being poorer, we are to-day in far
better condition than we have been since
the war. and better able to raise the aggre-
gate of revenue that we did in lS77-Over
81, zoo, 900, than we were then. This amount.
| with proper economy in the administration
| Of the State Government, would give reve-
nue. sufficient to meet government expenses
and schools, pay 3per cent. upon the rrcog-
nized debt of the present Virginia and leave
surplus of between $500 600 and $500. 900.
| An increase OF the rate OF taxation on 8
| lower assessment than was returned in 1875
would not be an increase in the amount OF
taxes. nor impose any additional burdens
upon the people. But it will not be treated
| in that way by the supporters of tho Rid
| dlrberger Bill. The decreased assessment
will be accepted as representing decreas ed
ability to pay~when that is not the case :
! and an appeal made to the cHpidity of the
people to prevent fair settlement with
the creditors. The Issue will be made and
met.

The assumption that the Riddleberger
Bill is the measure of adjustment the peo-
pie demand ia without authority. A we
have stated that bill was never DISCUSSED
before then-it was never passed upon
at the polls. and cannot be truthfully stated
to reflect the popular will. The only pre-
sentation OF the debt that has ever been en-
dorsed by the people is incorporated in the
McCuloch Bill and but for the unfortu-
nate details of that fundamentals coupon,
its syndicates and its non-taxable provision
it would be the accepted policy of the
State. The Legislature elected in 1877 was
chosen upon that formulation of the debt.
Judge Allen maintained substantially the
terms of that bill. as to the principal and
accrued interest of the debt, and the rate
of interest to be observed. He was elected
Speaker Of the House OF Delegates by the
Re adjusters, as the exponent of the policy
it involved with the exceptions as heretofore
stated. and so far as any popular expression
that heretofore indicated the will of the
people, s30.000.G00 of debt at per cent is
rejection Of it. But the creditors have
manifested willingness to do even better
than this for the State. They have indi-

lively demands immediate executive
action and which the condition of the
President renders him unable to meet.
As to the determination of what con-
stitutcs inability, it would be as much q
question of fact as death or resignation.
The inability of the President TO act on
what could await his recovery would not
confer power on the Vice-President But
rebellion or invasion, or any concern of
The Nation which could not wait without
danger to the public welfare, and which
the President was unable to act upon,
would undoubtedly devolve the powers
and duties of his Office upon the Vice
President. When the cease" of Gina
bility to discharge the powers and
duties" no longer existed it is plain that
" the same" powersand duties) would no
longer deyolve upon the Vice-Presi-
dent"
The question as to whether case had
arisen for presidential action so important
as to forbid delay would, in the absence
of legislation by Congress, probably have
to be decided by the Vice President, who
would naturally be restrained from as
suming power unless sustained by a con-
sciousncss that the necessity would be
apparent to all men and that he would
