Virginia wants a cool seven hundred
thousand dollars from the national govern
ment. When there was distribution of
the surplus revenue, more than forty years
years ago. Congress voted to make it in
four payments. Three were paid, but for
want of the necessary surplus the State
treasures never received the fourth install
ment. Old Virginia now claims that as
there is surplus in the treasury. that in
stalment should now bepaid. Other States
will come in tor share if distribution is
made. but that is not probable.
