and hascy examination OF his books revealed
q deficit of about 100000. More careful
scrutiny may swell the amount. Mr.. Fihceh'

Alabama's Reputation record is an especially
black one. The principal Of her debt amounted
to sos. O4O.47O. The unpaid interest upon this
I'M 10 July l, 1876, was estimated at $4,000
600. BY various ingenious processes,
Sl5.l6G, O9l Of the principal was repudiated,
and the whole of the six millions OF interest.
More than this, the interest upon the debt
which was not repudiatcd has been cut down so
regularly that oven if the bondhOlders are paid
at the end of the thirty years which their bonds
are 10 run, their total loss from the beginning
will be about S2S, 900, 900, or nearly the whole
amount of She original debt.
