Mr. L. L. Carne, the worthy and efficient Sup
erintendant of Public Schools, having published a
card in which he predicts disaster to the public
schools unless one fourth Of the State taxes is
paid in money desire to inform the taxpayers,
that there is not the slightest possibility of any
such misfortune overtaking tho public schools as
Mr.. Carne in his earnest solcitude for their we'll
fare, imagines.
The State has several millions of dollars of
available assets, and there Is not the slightest fear
OF coupons boing rendered this winter, in sufc-
lent quantities to the schools to ho closed.
AT meeting of the holders of Virginia bonds,
held in London, England September 24th 1856,
it was expressly declared that they were willing
to meet the State and entertain 4 reasonable COM
promise, based upon present taxation and the
available reycnuc, after providing for the consti-
tutionsl appropriations for government, schools
and other public expenditures"
Taxpayers are advised to tender coupons for
taxes. and thereby save from one third to one.
