Funding the Bonds.

Col. john Flcmming, Of Nashville.
writes to the Louisville Couricr.Journal
as follows;
Amid tie din Of factions the people
are not aware that the funding Of the
State debt is going on. The State Fl.
nancial Board have been in New York
sometime. Gov. Hawkins showed me
Il letter this evening from Comptroller
Nolan, stating that up to Saturday last
one and one-haIf million of old bonds
had been filed for rcfunding. This
shows Il ready acceptance Of the debt
settlement b. the creditors, and the
probabilities are that, before the next
election, the greater part Of the debt
will be refunded at G0.3-i-j-G. Ger
tainly two payments Of interest will be
made upon the bonds refunded, for the
Treasurer has the money in hand for SO
doing, or coming in to do it.
