Editors OF the 1ntelligoucer: ail 'sg'N t'-E
1t was my good pleasure, to be .presen
yesterday (0ct. 26th) at the dedication O
the new Presbyterian Church In the towr
OF Maunington, Marion county. The dedi
catory sermon was delivered by the Rev
Mr.. o. O. B. Duncan, OF Fairmont, as.
sisted by the Rev. Mr.. Wallace, Of the M
E.. Church. We were somewhat dlsap-
pointed in not having the pleasure Of hear
Ing the Rev.. Mr.. Fisher, Of Wheeling
preach the morning sermon as was an
nounccd. But Bro. Duncan Is not the
man TO be disheartened at such disap-
pointments, but buckled on his armor ant
proceeded with one Of the good sermons
which he is capable Of delivering.
The services were necessarily long, a.
the ordinance ot Baptism was admins
tered. After the dedication Of the church
to the Lord, communion services were
participated In. The church Is neatly
furnished and was well filled with an in
telligent audience, composed Of all de
nominations; who appeared to appreciate
the occasion, . HLgF.
The church cost eighteen hundred dol
lars. Thirteen hundred dollars Of the
above amount have been paid, the balance
Of fifteen hundred they have as good q:
ready to pay down. 80 they start on 0
clear financial basis, and under the pas
torial guidance Of Brother Duncan they
win be able, Ihave no doubt, TO build ur
a large congregation. APARTIcrPANT

Things do not seem to 80 on as salts
iactorily up at Pittsburgh as here ii
Wheeling. Business is much more de-
moralized. A special dispatch ID las

the workmen at the various blast furnaces
have refused to acccde TO the reduction o
ten per cent on wages demanded by th'
owners, and the result Is all the furnaces
have suspended operations 1t also says
that II is understood that the owners arc
indifferent about running, as there is nc
money in the business, and besides, there
ls an over supply Of metal. The rolling
and steel mills, with very few exceptions
are still in operation, but they are only
working single turn. The window glass
factories have been lido since last July
and there is no s!gn Of their starting up for
the present.

soon be satisfied 10 so to work on the ba.

Payins Ont Silver c Coin..Statement Of
the DIrectoro of the Mint.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The director
Of the mint makes the following statemen,
oil the purpose oithe Government 10 paying
out silver cuin In this, as In other ,coun.
tries where gold Is the solo standard or
measure Of value, silver coins are over
valued. For the purpose of rendering
them inexportable, they are manufactured
and issued on Government account,
the law, however, placing, directly or in
directly, limit on the issue 10 prevent
redundancy. II issued In times Of specie
payment beyond the requirements Of the
the public for change, such coin will
not maintain their purchasing power with
standard coins. Owing to various causes
In this and other countries, silver has de.
cllned In value TO point at which the
government can purchase 1t with gold,
manufactured into small coin and pay Il
out at fair profit The government has
recently purchased 0 quantity Of silver
bullion, sufficient for Its purposes, at 1871
cents per standard ounce, and will manu-.
facture II into coin at fixed legal rate Of
1874 and foul. r.tenths cents per ounce, the
difference between the purchasing and
issuing rate being within q traction of
10 cents per ounce, or about 10i per cent
on the gold coin paid in the purchase.
This operation Is believed 10 be q
more profitable one for the Treasury
and also more advantageous to the public
in the present condition Of the money
market than the sale Of gold for legal ten.
der notes, and Ia not o scheme for the re-
sumption Of specie payment, but simply a
compliance with mint laws. A dollar In
United States currency will purchase q
little more gold in the market than q dol.
lar OF small silver coins. The dollar will,
therefore, soon find their level, and unless
there be o rise on both prices Of gold and
silver small coins must circulate concur
rently with paper money. The Govern
ment has in possession Of the Assistant
Treasury about 100000 In silver
coin, and at the mint and assay offices
in silver bullion and coin 90 000, 900. This
stock Is ample for the present. 3 This
mode Of paying out silver coin will be
continued until circumstances shall die
tate q contrary course as proper. The
government will exact the full seigniorage
required by law, but will not undertaketo to
control the disposition Of coin after II Is
paid out The coin will then become the
property Of the holders, who may do what
they please with It. This course was not
decided upon until Il had been fully con.
sideredby the Secretary oi the Treasury.

point Of law raised by the counsel for the
defense that 1t was competent to produce
evidence to show that Taintor acted for

consent Of the President and Directors in
making his stock speculations. This was
understood 10 be the chief point for the
defense. After Judge Benedict's decision
the defense declined 10 put In any eyi.
dence, Judge Benedict then directed the

His counsel gave notice that they would

by the result.

The Nail mills and the Panic.


Bu, Tor the panic the present business
season would have been one OF Unusual
prosperity for Wheeling, Trade set In
early and brisk, and was progressing in 3
very satisfactory way when the crisis
hurst upon the country. We speak par.
,Icularly Of the nail trade There Is still
some demand TOR nails and we are in
hopes to see the mills kept going. Up 10
this time the workmen have been paid of
In full every pay day, while at Pittsburgh
they are only paying one.halt. There Is
not large stock Of nails in the West, and
the demand that was setting in 80 natur.
ally must again set in sooner or later, Tor
the people Of the West are In a con.
dition to buy on account OF their good
crops. So far, therefore, as the mills
have raw material on hand they may
as we'll work it up into nails. and In
doing so they will do great good not only
10 the workmen and the community, but,
in the end, probably to themselves. We
doubt not that the banks Of Wheeling ap.
preciate the importance Of keeping the
mills going, and that they have made and
will make every effort to grant them &C
commodations. There is no city perhaps
ir the country on sounder footing in
business way than Wheeling. Her busi-
ness Is healthy in all departments Of trade,
ss is shown by the fact that not even q
rumor affecting the standing OF any con-
cern In the city has been heard on the
streets during the prevalence Of the
financial storm.

The Judges charge terminated at 4:45
T. NJ, having lasted exactly three hours.
MIR. Tremaine then took special excep-
tions to His Honor's condemnation OF
what Is called emotional insanity,
Judge Davis said he used the very Ian
guage Of the Court Of Appeals. ,,,f..
Mr.. Tremaine said he specially objected
to the expression that the evidence Of in
sanity was very meagre, and asked to have
the question submitted to the, ,iury.tcz.

To them within the law, ~ .-.- ID
Mr.. Tremaine also took exception to the
remark that insanity as rule involves q
delusion, and that. the prisoners ideas
seemed 10 have been based upon reality,
and to His Honor saying the other holes
In the cloak, besides the iour in the breast,
were not particularly material, as It was
not claimed that the fatal wound was
made through any Of these.

FINANCIAL PARAGRAPHS.

THERE are at least dozen members oi

them have been at the Treasury obtain
ing financial information, with q yiewto
legislation on the subject Of the currency
during the coming session. There Is no
doubt that numerous schemes will be pro.
posed including one for the conversion ol
currency into bonds bearingan interest Of

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: The
circulation Of fractional currency is in.
creasiug daily, and |, is expected that the
limit OF $5o,00000O which is prescribed
by law will be reached In q few weeks,
The denomination now being sent out to

tary Richardson 10 put as many Of thia

believing that the disbursement $S,000,-

AT Chicago we see it stated that th'

there Is about the usual average, and tha

ply Is that they consider the money q
