THE COMMISSIONS REPORT,

The report is signed by all the
members, and much Of it is devoted
to history of the financial condition
of the State since 1865, and the mum
erous attempts made to settle the
debt. Coming down to the Readjus
ter period, the report says:
'sThe Readjuster party was trium.
plant all along the line at the fall
elections Of 1881, securing the Govern
or as we'll as both branches Of the
Legislature by large maiorities.
Referring to the RiddleberGer bill
and the alnount of Indebtedness ii
assumed, the Commission says:
1.-THE result of this account showed
the whole Indebtedness of the State,
from the standpoint of the Legisla-
tire, to be as of July 1, 1882, $21 ,035,-
977, principal and interest.
1.-The enaetirg part of the bill how.
ever. made the amount larger than
this by several millions. 1t is also
claimed and conceded by many that
certain errors were made in the
amounts assumed to be outstanding
against the State, and in the appli.
cation Of interest payments, SO that
the amount really assumed by the
State under the principles of the Rid.
Gleberger bill, conceding the correct
ness of the rate of scaling fixed by it,
was largely in excess of that appar
ent upon its face"
The Commission reviews at length
and with great clearness the various
litigations before the United States
Supreme Court, and the effects tc
the State of the decisions of that
tribunal.
''The whole amount of tax-receiv-
able coupons says the report, "now
outstanding is about $7,027, 02a. This
added to the principal of the bonds
still outstanding bearing tax-receiv
able coupons. makes an aggregate Of
about s25, 607,022. The maximum
amount of all unsettled obligation:
outstanding against the State, which
there is any probability of her hav
ing to provide for, is placed by the
bondholders' committee, as herein
after shown. at about S2S, OO0,O00."
In conclusion the report says:
1--WE earnestly advise the accept
aHce OF the proposition OF the BOND
holders Committee. ratified as it hai
now been by their principals. 4
settlement on that basis certainly
seems to be generally desired by thu
people of the State. We cannot blu,
believe that a faiiure either on the
part of the State or of such bond
holders as have not yet come int
acquiescence in the settlement. viii
meet with popular condemnation
throughout The Commonwealth
Should a failure of the settlement
proposed result from its rejection b,
the representatives of the State it i
seriously to be feared that the gen
eral support of the people which h.:
all along sustained our protect;N
Legislation will be withdrawn, ~,
that tide of coupons which can, I,
be resisted will flow into the treasury.
