decision is adverse to the State, and has
caused deep feeling in Virginia. If carried
out it is said, it will involve the closing of
the public schools and of all the charitable
institutions in the State. The ground ofop-
position seems TO be that the debt was fixed
at $50 900 900, which is alleged to be double
the amount justly due the bondholdeIs by
the Slate. 1t is difficult matter 10 keep the
run of the financial history of Virginia, but
the fact that the Chief Justice and two
associate justices of the Supreme Court
dissented from the majority, furnishes a
reason for doubling the absolute justice of
the decision.

ed are gradually settling into place, where they
will swell the ranks Of the consumers. The
debris of the cred Seal Association, +" which has

from our markets is still noticeable, but it is
hoped that when lake navigation opens up they
