The measage, in conelusion, recommends as’ the first and most {mportant fulfilment of the professions of loyalty which have beon mado by the people of Virginia that the debt contracted as the rebel debt shall be frankly and entirely repudiated, and that the United States government be accepted, with all its acts and lia bilitles, including the Emancipation act and the national debt. The Governor makes the point moat decided!y that the acceptance of the national debt by the Southern States is synonymous with and essential to thoir loyal rehabilitation. be THK EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS OF THR STATR, which were most signally stricken down by the war—the whole literary and oducational fund, amounting to seve ral millions, having been engulphed in the downfall of the rebel fortunes—receive the — Governor's most earnest attention.

THN FIDUCIARY PRIKND OF THK STALE, It will be romombered that there was aa act of the rebel Legisiature, near the close of the war, which ordered the invesiment of alt funds held in trust for orphaps and jor children in rebel States bonds. The Governor refers elaborately to this sul ject,” and insists upon» it that the orphans and those minor childron substantially defrauded of their moans of living shall not be the losers, He argues that such an act was contrary to both justice and Inw; that rebel bonds were unrecognized and unknown to law of the land as a vatuable consideration or 1 funds. Consequently such an investment should considered void, and those who made such disposal of trost funds in their bands should be held responsible J.
