Seventh vireinia District.

The nomination of Colonel Edward Dam
iels for Congress in the old Seventh district
of Virginia is one that does credit to the
large and intelligent convention Of Grant
and Wilson Republicans which nominated
him, as his assured election will do honor
to the people who will elect him. &
colonel Daniels is an influential man, of
sterling worth, thorough education, one of
the best speakers and writer's in the coun-
try, and widely and favorably known
among the people for whose suffrages he
has been selected.
As the editor Of the Richmond STATE
JOURNAL, he has done eminent service in
disseminating widely and permanently
among the people Of Virginia the principles
and objects of the only party that can and
will give to her people that prosperity
which her important geographical position
and unrivaled natural resources entitle them
to.
He was q gallant soldier in the Union
army, fighting with great distinction in
many of the severest engagements of the
war, and at the close of the struggle left
his old home in the West, came to Fairfax
county, and purchased the large estate Of
Z" Gunston." once the home Of George
Mason, a few miles below Mount Vernon,
on the Potomac, where he has since resided,
devoting his time to agriculture and the
pursuits of literature. Although Virginia
is his adopted State, there is no man within
the borders of the "Old Dominion" who
has more truly at heart her great agricultu-
raj, manufacturing, and commercial inter-
ests, or who, if elected a representive in
the national council, would labor more

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
The Enquirer Of Saturday contained an
editorial relative to the Japanese treatment
of Yankees, etc. The article leaves the
impression that the editor is very bilious.
If he can't get relief by vomiting, | would
suggest that he take a little more Greeley,
and perhaps he may purge. He thinks
the "big-footed women, and pig-headed
men of that section, (the North, need a
few lessons in good breeding, and the Jap.
panese, or even IIottentotsT, are fully
competent to be their teachers" There,
isn't that a great effort for one so Frustrated?
If by good breeding he means that kind
practiced in the South, the number of
mulattoes daily seen in Richmond convinces
me it is unnecessary to look for Hotten-
tots, as We have capable teachers enough
here. How do the feet Of northern women
compare with those of the women who for
generations, have brought forth yellow
skinned sons and daughters, to Z" States
men and gentlemen of the South, who fur
nished brains and manners for the nation
abroad and at home?" | fear the zeal of
Virginia's ancient statesmen has outrun
their discretion. Would it not have been
well TO have supplied their own legitimate
posterity with brains first?

CoFFEE.-A gentleman of this city, well
posted with regard to the coffee statistics of
the world, complies the following interest
ing facts:
The worlds consumption of coffee in
1871 amounted to 500,00 tons. A specu-
lative clique forced up prices so high that
the consumption of coffee in the United
States during the first eight months of 1872,
shows a decrease of 10000 tons, and
in Europe about $4,000 tons. Thus
the consumption during this year, 1872.
will show a decrease of at least $4,000
tons. The surplus of this years produc-
ton over this years consumption, will
reach the enormous amount of %, 900 tons.
The coffee rings back is broken. It's po-
Icy has carried down the strongest houses
in the United States and Europe, and with
all its vaunted strength will be swamped in
this panic of its own creation. In short,
the people are too sharp and too intelligent
to be compel to pay any extortionate price
demanded. The higher you carry prices
for any article the less the people will use.
The testimony of the distributing trade
throughout the country is that since the
advance in the price of coffee the actual
consumption has steadily declined. The
duty of three cents gold per pound having
been abolished consumers feel %disappoii t.
ed and can't delstand why coffee should
not be cbeaper-and the people know that
the present prices are unwarranted and
brought about by speculation. This coffee
ring has robbed the consumer of millions.
The ruin it has wrought is now recoiling
upon itself, and has already broken its own
back. As a rule the consumer used
four pounds of coffee to one pound of tea /;
but 0 four pounds of good roasted coffee
at 80 cents q pound retail, cost $1.20, while
a pound of good tea sells for so cents. The
difference has become apparent to every
household and thus you see the cause for the
great decrease in the consumption of coffee.

To the Etitor Of the Washington Chronicle

an editorial saying that "Col. Mosby is
agent and proprietor of a marble quarry
situated on the left bank of the Potomac,
and in that capacity is about to put in a bid
for furnishing headstones to the national
cemeteries" This statement is a lie from
beginning to end, and known to be such by
the cowardly slanderer who wrote it. |
have no sort of interest either as proprietor
or agent, in any quarry Of any sort on the

entered my head of applying to the Govern
ment for any kind of a contract. Very
respectfully, JNo. S. MosBY.

How Is THIS ?-The poll tax list of
the city of Richmond gives the number of
white voters at 6,092, and the colored
voters at 6,117, showing that there are 25
more colored voters in the city than white.
The Conservatives have heretofore claimed
that their party was a white mans party,
and yet they carry the city by from 800 to
900 majority. The claim is well founded
or there are a great many white voters
who have not been assessed. The dis
crepaney between the new assessment and
the result of elections is so great that we
deem it our duty to call for more light.

LOCAL POLITICS.-The Republicans,

man. The Colonel made a brief address,
and concluded by introducing Hon. j. Am
bier Smith, Republican candidate for Con-
gress. MIR. Smith made a telling speech,
and was vociferously ~applauded by the
large audience. Mr.. Smith was followed
by Colonel p. A. Boiling J Anderson Tay-
lor and others. The occasion was e~nliven-
ed by music, torchlights, and the firing of
cannon. The next meeting under the au-
spices of the District Committee, will be
held at Bowling Green, Caroline county, on
Saturday next, the 18th instant, when Mr..
