The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-09-07

We did not explain Mr. EwING'S fnan-
cial plan yesterday. He says that dcprc-
catcd currency Zone below the standard Of
the civilized world) is an evil, but b. 10
means so great as has been assumed. And,
again, that the tendency of national
lcgal-tendcr paper currency to tluctuation
is much less than is generally supposed
It is not, he says, the deprecated currency,
but the heavy annual interest Of the debt
that presses with such enormous weight or
the productive interests of the country. To
reduce that weight he would fund that per-
ton Of the debt which is payable, and as it
shall become payable, at II reasonable rate
of interest; and lie declares that it is now
in our power 10 take an important and de-
cisiyc step in that direction. He proposes
that the Secretary of the Treasury be
directed to prepare fifteen hundred million
dollars in bonds, payable in gold at any
time at the option of the United States,
after forty years, and to bear four per cent.
interest in gold, the bonds to be exempt
from State taxation. And he would direct
the Secretary to give notice that he is ready
20 redeem the whole issue of 1862 and 1868
on the lst of May, 1870, in legal-tcnder
notes, CT in these four per cent. bonds, at
the option of the creditor. A law hasten
Ing the resumption of specie payments, he
remarks, would indeed be disturbing
clement" and probably render success i'm
possible, as it would at once raise the
market value Of the fve-twcnties above
that of the bonds we should offer in ex-
change for them, and We could not COM
mand the means in gold to retire them with
out borrowing at Il heavy sacrifice.
We have no doubt that this plan will find
great favor in the West.

Richmond and Piedmont.

Richmond has been seriously injured by
the diversion to other towns OF large
trade with the Piedmont region which shc
formerly enjoyed. This has been caused
by determinations and delays in railroad
transportation. The Orange and Alexandria
railroad has Disseminated against us, and
the tardy transhipmcnt at Gordonsvlllc
added to the discrimination has almost
put an END to ell trade with tho people living
upon that road. II costs as much to trans
port and tranship grain on the twenty
miles ending at Gordonsyille as it does 10
transport it to Alexanlria-a distance of
seventy to eighty miles.
This injustice has been the subject OF
frequent complaints; but somehow Or
other the railroads get matters so mixed
up in their mutual accusations that VIC
find it net very easy TO get at the real
merits OF their elimination and rCcrimina
ton.
The Natire Tt1ginian, Of Orange Court
House, charges that the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad and the merchants of Rich
mond arc to blame, because, holding the
remedy in their own hands, they fail 10 re-
sort to it. They can force tie Orange aud
Alexandria road into terms, contends the
lugipian, and thus enable the people of
Orange, Culpcpcr, &C., to trade with Rich
mond, as they desire to do. We need not
tell the railroads nor the merchants Of Rich
mond that this city is a great sufferer from
railroad sclishness and rapacity. They
know it. We cannot well see how the pa
pcrs arc to write down the wrong. There
arc ways and means which can be success
fully used by the proper energy Of practi-
cal men. The subject has been discussed
time and again, but few people arc much
the wiser by it, and the city is no better off.
1t is out Of the question that the capital of
the State, which has put SO much money in
all the railroads, including the Orange and
Alexandria, should be the victim of discri-
mination in many instances in favor OF
towns outside the boundary Of the State.
The NutiUe Firyinian shows the proper
feeling for every Virginian to cherish. 1t
says:
every many farmers in Orange and Gull
pepper are anxious to trade with Richmond
because, first, it is the best wheat market
in the country second, it is the capital OF
their State; and, third, they have the ut
most confidence in the Richmond mer-
chants-a confidence based upon warm per-
sonal relations and many pleasant dealings
in past years, when there were no discrimi-
nations, and every Virginian was free to
trade with any Virginia city he might Sc
lcct, and especially with the beautiful State
capital. For ourselves, we repeat what we
have SO often said, that our warmcst SYM
pathies are with Richmond, and we only
wish that all Virginians could be made to
feel and know that it is their bounden duty
to give Richmond preference over any city
outside and many inside of the limits of
the Commonwealth"

The TRIBUNE on THE OPlNloN.-The
Tribune of Saturday makes the following
allusion to the opinion of Mr.. HoAR:
"The decision of the test-oath question
"by Attorney General HoAR will, we trust,
"put an end to an effort that at one time
threatened to be dangerous. For the pur-
"pose of ratifying the fifteenth amend
"ment lie holds that the oath is not ncces-
"sary. The Legislature will therefore or
"ganize-not under such q pride's purge
Gas some hot-heads have been seeking
I" but as elected. When the return Of Vir-
"ginia to her position as a State in the
union becomes complete by the congress
"sional approval of such ratification, the
Legislature again, without any test-oath
requirement, can proceed TO business.
"The decision is not without II side that
"may seem TO excuse if not to sanction
General CANBY's course, but it cfectually
"estops his proposed action

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
merciql, writing from the White Sulphur
Springs, speaks rs follows OF the Chesa-
pcake and Ohio railroad:
"There is encouragement to hope that so
important line-especially valuable be-
cause of its low grades and the certainty. OF
its having heavy traflic-will Mt no dis
tant day be completed. Its main objective
point now is the mouth Of the Big Sandy
river. At that place it will be met by the
Lexington and Big Sandy road, giving
through direct connection to Louisville, and
thence to the West and Southwest. At that
Mace also it should be met by Cincinnati
enterprise with n line that will cut the great
mineral field of Southern Ohio, and bring
ou,, city into nearest direct communica-
ton with the rich timber and mineral re-
rions of West Virginia, and also with
tide water at tie best harbor on the
Atlantic coast. Louisville merchants are
alive to the value of tho Chesapeake and
Ohio road. and have given pledges that II
line should be taken by the company
which would strike the border line OF Ken
lucky at point nearly due east from Lex
inpton. by which the distance would be
greatly shortened, they will agree to con-
meet with it as soon as completed, ana
establish q great east and west thorough
fare supcrior TO all others in easlncss OF
Grades and freedom from Interruptions IN
the winter. Cincinnati might tap such
line by the construction of road to Mount
Sterling, KY, and possibly secure good
connection but the through line would be
known as q Louisville enterprise, and serve
its commercial necessities more than Il
would those Of this place"
Catlettsburg is not the only, if the main,
point of terminus of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad upon the Ohio. FONT Plea
SAINT, n, the mouth Of the Kanawha river,
is terminus not secondary in Importance
to that at Big Sandy or CatleHsburg. From
the former point will depart the lines OF con-
nection with Chicago and The lake cities; the
latter will be the point Of connection with
the airline to Cincinnati. Both will be
points Of immense interest and Importance
to us and to the West likewise. The line
from Cincinnati will be in the interest OF
the Ohio valley; it will assist in promoting
the integrity and independence of the Ono
commerce. That to the lakes will give the
lake cities the advantage Of rapid rransla-
ton from the region of obstructive fros:s 70
that of milder ATTITUDES, by which their win
ter commerce will be facilitated, and they
will be enabled to share advantages which
if left to the Ohio cities would result digas-
trously to the lake trade.
