Reputation Proposed.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 16.-In the Senate
to-day, Mr.. Lybrook introduced a resolu-
ton looking to the total reputation of the
Stat debt. The preamble sets forth that
every proper and reasonable effort has been
repeatedly made by the State to effect q set
Element with the holders Of bonds, which
effort had met with uncompromised resist
ance, captious opposition, and technical
quibblings. The total States RESPONSE
bility, patience and resources are now be-
lieved TO be exhausted in their efforts to
maintain the credit Of Virginia; that no
substantial equivalent or valuable consid-
Grafton can be shown, upon which these
bondholders have benefited the creditors
OF Virginia, but are merely adyentur-
Gus spectators, who have already
realized from the bonds much more
han their original cost; that q syndicate
has been formed by these spectators for
the purpose Of perpetusting legal prosecu-
ton Of the people Of Virginia, and prevent
ing the settlement of this unproven debt,
so that they may not have their claims
tested, but may continue to draw interest
thereon; that certain debts are positively
prohibited by article IA, section /, of the
Federal Constitution; that we express our
unslterable opposition to the payment of
any part Of this alleged debt, or interest
thereon, and the Auditor Of Public Ac-
counts is instructed to refuse payment OF
interest ON any bonds alleged to be held
against Virginia. The resolution went
over till Monday.
