The Debt as 1t Is Now.

The Richmond correspondent Of the Pc
tersburc H,dey-Appeql tells that paper what
he has heard remarked 10y one of the best
posted men in the State on Nirgina's debt
and resources. This gentleman SAID that
Virginia instead Of being able to DO more
for the bondholiers than the present plan
provides is really not able to do a. much.
We quote:
He said that the railroad property AT
Roanoke "a already assessed. and the reve-
1ue from that direction is therefore already
in the calculations As for the farm lands
there has been such a very marked depre-
clation 10 their values that millions and
millions OF fresh Investments would be re-
Quired TO make up for the dehclt IN the
agricultural tax. The ehrinkage in land
values. this gentlemen SAID were notable
IN the section trayersed by the Richmond
and Danville railroad and also in the cOun-
ties between Richmond and fredericks-
burg. Why, 81, the farms are growing
up in pines and wild game ia becoming
more abundant every year. The beaver,
The bear. the rod fox, and the deer-all
these animals are as plentiful III Virginia
to-day as they are IN tho far wild West.
Many men IA Southwest Virginia make
their living low as trappers. And all this
shows that Virginia ss q progressiye-grow-
lng State - not what u IS cracked up TO be.
The State revenue from all sources is only
12,h32, GsS2s. You cannot collect more
taxes than the assessments call for. The
disbursements. based on the present APP
preparations for salaries, schools. asylums,
dc, are S2.030, 1878. This Is exclusive of
the interest paid on bonds issued for the
benefit of certain educational institutions
amounting 10 $l42 Proof. This then. does
not leave enough 70 pay as much interest
on the State debt Is We are now paying"
We do not like TO make a poor mouth "
And especially do We dislike to lead any
body anywhere 20 think that Virginia is
not growing in population aud wealth, our
own belief being tba. she is progressing in
every good sense OF this word Nevertho-
less, there are thousands aud tens Of thou
sands Of taxpayers who concur in the
opinion expressed by the gentleman al
luded TO; and it would be unwise for any
member Of the Legislature TO leave these
men out Of his calculations when he I'M
dertakes to frame new funding bill.
