THE COUPON KILLING BILL.

This bill introduced by Mr.. Riddleber-
ger has become law. The operation I'M
der if Invested of technical verbiage is
thus briefly described: You tender your
coupon; the collector receives it, endorses
your name on it and seals it up in an en-
yelope, but informs you that at present
YOU must pay him your taxes in money, and
that YOU can hereafter bring suit in
court to establish the fact that the coupon
is genuine and if you gain your suit, the
Auditor at Richmond will pay you back
the money for the coupon. 1t is almost
superfuoug TO say that case will be made
ND for court and this law tested both in
the State and Federal courts. The bond
holders clearly intend to make strong
effort TO save their property and have con-
idance in their ability to do SO in one o.
the other of the two classes Of courts
named. This confidence is to be inferred
from the fact that Virginia bonds are
scarce and few are anxious to part
with them. During last week while IN
certainty prevailed the bonds declined
heavily, but on the very day the Riddle
berger Debt Settlement bill was introduced
consols jumped from 81 to Is and ten
forties from S8 to 40. The property in which
tie foreign and home bondhoiders are in
terested is too vast in amount to surren-
der without struggle. and we may soon
expect a season of harassing litigation for
Virginia.
