THE FUNDING BILL.

In the U. S. Circuit Court at Richmond
yesterday, Judge Hughes held that in the
fourteen new cases now before the court,
covering some 100000 of tax-receivabIe
coupons, judgments must he giving requir.
ing these coupons 10 be funded, the recent
legislative ensctments being invalid to pre-
vent such funding Judge Hughes deliver
ed an elaborate opinion showing the present
condition Of the State debt and that the re-
cent legislation by the General Assembly
had left Il $50, 900 of tax .receivable coupons
already due, unprovided for and oulstand-
ing, to harass the State treasury, cumber
the courts and tlyblow the reputation of the
Slate i'll the monetary centers Of the world.
He said he apprehendcd serious consequent
ces from this state oflhings. In concluding
his opinion the Judge said II deplore the
action Of the Legislature which has by post
tacto construction repealed the clause OF the
Rddleberger act requiring the funding of
the tax-receivable coupons. 1t makes what
have shown to be its leading provisions n
dead letter upon the statute book. 1t will
imperil the funding of the principal of the
consol and len-furty bonds. II must throw
upon the market without any provision for
their payment, except ~ they may be YER
flied in the courts aud used in The payment
OF taxes, n large and continually accumulate
ing mass Of lax receivable coupons. This,
repeat, is reputation.

REFERRING to the manifest dissipation OF
the idea that there was any real detection
among the Irish Catholic democrats, the
New York Herald says
"It is an odd circumstance indeed that
there should have been any doubt, if We
reflect upon the long tried fidelity TO the
democratic party Of The adopted citizens Of
this nationality. Was it to beexpecled that
the Irish, who have been staunch and unwa.
vering democrats for forty years, should fail
just at the moment when their failure would
be most effective against the national wei
fare1 Democracy has ever sustained and
defended the citizen of foreign birth. Re-
Gently, however, the democratic party has
not controlled the executive machinery a,
Washington. Just i'll that period the Irish
have suffered abroad from neglect of the
government. 1t would have been singular
result Of that neglect for the Irish voters to
rally in support of the party guilty OF It,
How any sane Irish democrat could have
seriously entertained the idea of DESERVING
what is peculiarly his party, at this crisis in
its existence, is what no other sane man
can comprehend
