WHAT BECOMES OF THE SPECIE.

We ar all aware that there has been
constant t'ow of silver to the countries Of
the East, but We never hear of lis return
ing. This has been So ever since history
began, and the constant iilt. Gf metal that
is ever setting in that direction. and what
becomes Of it, has puzzled more sarans
than one.
The enor1aou, absorption Of silver hv
the Eastern >ta''- # h- world i one Of
the most remarkable fact in the history Of
fhe precious metals. From the earliest his
t"ric times, the Eas; has taken li,t!c else
but silvor for is commodities. In the
time Of Pl;nv, thr expectation Of rrer;np.
metals from thn West was ST down Al from
2fC0 900 TO S5o0, 900 4 wear. The Ro

the flow Of silver has been generally from
tie West toward the East. Humboldt
calculated that in the year 1900 the
amount Of silver sent Eastward annually
was between twenty-five and thirty millions
Of dollars. Between 1880 and 1853, the
.aroe amount oi Syr~e silver received from

China, and the export of great quantities
OF English goods to India. disturbed the
flow Of silver Eastward. which has, howev-
er, since set in with more determination
than ever. In 1854 the balance in favor
OF the Last was about thirty millions Of
dollars. The expectation of the precious
metals from Great Britain alone, during
the seven years ending with 1858, was
more than $50, 600 GOO per annum, of
which all but one-eighti, par, was in silver.
At the present time the balance Of the inn
ports and exports of gold and silver in ia
Eor Of the East is calculated at from sxtv
70 eighty millions of dollars per annuln, or
more than the total WELD OF all the silver

TIE VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL ELEo-

Considerable interest Is felt i'm the election TO
take place in Virginia to morrow for members
OF Congress. In the neighboring Seventh Con-
eressional District of Virginia Hon. Lewis
Mckenzie. of Alexandria, is q prominent can
didate, and we sincerity trust for the interest
OF that District, that he may be elected. He is
a gentleman of unblemished integrity, Of great
force Of character, and If elected will undoubt-
1y get a seat IN Congress, and will moreover,
from his standing and influence, be able to do
more for his District and State than perhaps
any other who could be selected. We regret
to see that some of the voters of Virginia are
inclined TO go through the farce of voting for
candidates who cannot possibly qualify them
selves for a seat by taking the required oath
This is the purest folly. We can assure them
that there is not only not the remotest
chance of the repeal Of the law Of Congress
requiring such oath, but on the contrary all
the indications are that the requirements to be
exacted preliminary to granting admission to a
seat will be made much more stringent by the
coming Congress than they are under the
existing law. If the people of Virginia do not
wish, then, to be utterly voiceless in the next
Congress, they will not commit the senseiess
folly of voting for candidates who have no
earthly chance of admission if elected. Some
Of our readers on the Virginia side may not be
familiar with the oath which members from
Virginia will be required to take. 1t reads as
follows, and the penalties for perjury are of
the seyerest description: -.s.
Il, A. b., do solemnly swear Tor affirm) that
j have never voluntarily borne arms against
the United States since i have been a citizen
thereof; that i have never given aid, counter.
ance or encouragement to persons engaged in
armed hostility thereto; that have neither
sought nor accepted, nor attempted to exercise
the functions of any Office whatever, under any
authority or pretended authority in hostility
the United States. that i have not yielded
voluntary support to any pretended govern
ment. authority. power or constitution within
the United States, hostile or inimical thereto
And further swear Tor affirm) that, to my
knowledge and ability, I will support and de-
Tend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that
Will bear true faith and allegiance to the
same; that take this obligation freely, with
out any mental reservation or purpose of eva
sion, and that L will well and faithfully dis
charge the duties Of my Office on which am
about to enter, so help me God"
ANY member of the Convention of Virginia,
who signed the ordinance of secession, OF any
person who voted for the ratification of the
ordinance, on May 23d, 1851, or who has held
Office in any State in rebellion, either State or
Confederate, had better save themselves the
trouble OF being rejected-which they assured
ly will be, if they present themselves for ad-
mission 10 the next Congress.
