Although the health Of ex- President
Arthur has for sometime been failing,
yet his death on Thursday, the 18th
instant, was very unexpected and a
shock to the whole country. Though
elevated to the Presidency because of
the assassination Of Garfield and at a
time when party feeling was at fever
heat, he conducted such fair and
impartial administration as to restore
confidence and to win the approval Of
the great mass Of the people irrespec-
tive Of politics The immediate cause
of his death was apoplexy though he
was a great sufferer from Bright s
disease.

The STATE Debt.

To the Editor Of the Richmond Wig:
In your issue Of the 18th, correspondent
calls upon me for q further statement con
corning the public debt.
I reply to him, that there would be no
difficulty whatever in effectiug the arrange.
ment he suggests. If the State will issue
her new bonds bearing four per cent. inter.
est, without tax receivable coupons, the
creditors will deposit their present bonds
with tax receivable coupons attached, in q
safe deposit company, which company will
annually cancel the coupons as The State
PAYS interest upon her new bonds.
can suggest to you q scheme which will
work even better than that. -
Let the State pass an act providing for
funding ell overdue coupons into a three
per cent. tax receivable coupon bond. All
of them will BIO funded. Then let her pro-
vide for buying, each January and each
July, in London, New York, and at the
Treasury, each thirty dollar coupon as it
falls duo, for 500, ard you will never hear
another word concerning the public debt.
This would be paying four per cent. inter-
est upon the present bonds. aad her rev.
enues are ample for it, leaving the appro-
priations for government and school ex-
penses just what they now are.
