balance of gold in our favor reduced still
more largely. We would then be on the
highway to specie resumption, the lion in
the path to which is, as have said before,
the annual payment to foreigners OF one
hundred millions of gold"
We have thus given Dir. KELLEy's views
on the main feature of bis suggestions. They
are worthy of earnest consideration. We
are not, however, yet clearly satisfied OF the
effect this proposition would have. do"
far the people would be induced to go in eX'
changing currency for 3.65 per cent. con-
yertible bonds could only be ascertained' 10y
actual experiment. 1t is, however, most
plausible theory. 4ss.
The country wants more elasticity in the
volume OF currency. Specie payments are
no more easily maintained than payments
iut currency when the volume Of currency ii
fixed and interchangeable. Flexbility Of tht
paper medium is indispensable. Wher
specie payments were suspended the bank
issued freely their own notes, aud gave re
lief to commerce. Now there is boarding
| of paper and no increase Of its volume. 81
we see how pressure must be continued
where paper Is the only medium, and where
| there is no way for its increase.
Mr.. KELLEY's general views are good. He
| Is man of practical wisdom, and it is graft
flying to see leading member Of Congress
as he Is catching the main idea Of the pre-
sent construction that it Is due to the non
elasticity of the currency, and that the only
currency Of the country. 1t Is an earnest o
the searching investigation of the subject By
Congress the coming winter.

pay" SUICIDE OF a WELL-KNowN La
pY.-We learn from the Baltimore Sun
that Mrs George Waters, whose hus-
band died few weeks ago in George
town, committed suicide on Tuesday
evening by taking opium. She has been
melancholy since her husbands death,
but no one suspected that her grief
would lead her to take her life She
went out Tuesday morning, and upon
her return announced that she would
not come down to dinner as she wished
to have long nap. She remained in
her room undisturbed until about 5 1-2
o'clock, when servant found her in
comatose state. Intelligence was com
municated to her relatives and DR. Ty-
Ter sent for, but his skill was unavailing
rs she died shortly after six o'clock
Mrs. Waters was the daughter of the
late Auditor Redin, and the second wife
of the late VIM. Waters, who died soon
after his second marriage. She left a
note in the room directed to Mr.. Joseph
G. Waters, her brother-in-law, request
ing him to take charge of her effects,
and stating that he would find her will
in the Farmers and Mechanics National
Bank.

of the chief engineerslip Of your road,
feel it my duty to make a brief report

of the chief engineership of your road,
feel it my duty to make a brief report
on the present condition OF the work.
In October, 1870, work was begun at
Front Royal by P. Collins, Esq, Super
intendent of the Central improvement
Company, and good progress was made
for about nine months, nearly complet-
inc Is miles of work, including several
of the heaviest sections. Operations
were then suspended until April, 1872,
and when resumed, were on that portion
of the road from Shepherdstown to the
crossing of the Shenandoah River, near
Riverton, distance of AZ miles, which,
with the Is miles previously worked on,
make total Of 81 miles nearly compile
ted. An expenditure of not more than
five or six thousand dollars will COM
plete the AZ miles, starting from Shep-
herds.own. This work is in excellent
shape, and a few weeks more will see
the entire distance finished and ready
for the superstructure. The sections to
be completed are Nos. l, ~ and al.
That portion from Riverton southwark
(the Is miles under the supervision OF
p. Collins, ESQ., can becompleted with
the additional sum of about $4,000.
The delays which have occurred are
due mainly, if not entirely, to the tight
ness of the money market; and | am
aware that many enterprises of equal
magnitude as yours have been obliged
to suspend operations entirely.
Your line possesses all the requisites
of first class road, both in grades and
alignments; in fact, in the latter beside
ratum, there is no road of the same
length in Virginia that can compete
with it, as it loses but eleven per cent.
from a straight line.
Very respectfully yours,
GEORGE BARRETT,
Chief Engineer.

N MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DI-
RECroRs.-There was 4 meeting OF the
Directors of the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad at Charlestown, on Tuesday
evening last, for the purpose of choosing
a successor to Mr.. Thomas Is. Kennedy,
of Chambersburg, who, in consequence
of the delicate condition of his health,
had been obliged to decline the Presi-
dency of the Company, to which he had
been recently elected, and, we are glad
to learn, that, by the unanimous voice
Of the Board, Mr.. William Mcclellan,
of Chambersburg, was selected for the
position.
The new President is a gentleman
eminently fitted for the place, and we
have an additional assurance in his high
character, untiring energy, commanding
influence and practical business ability,
as well as in his thorough personal &C
quaintance with. the country through
which the line of our Railroad has been
located and with the wants of our peo-
pie, that under his auspices the Road
will be pushed forward to an early and
satisfactory completion.
We, therefore, congratulate the Com
pany upon the wisdom of their choice,
and We especially congratulate our COM
munity upon the fact that Mr.. McCle-
Ian has no idea of permitting the route
of our Road to be turned aside from its
direct course across the river at Shep
herdstown although he in common
with the rest of the Board, favors as
many branches to the main stem of the
Road, as the public necessities and the
purses of those seeking such connections
will Justify.

the School Law we find the following {:
diplomas granted to students of the
Normal School department of the seve-

accepted as a certificate of qualification
to teach common schools throughout the
State" 1t occurs to us that if the young
men who have recently engaged in
teaching or contemplate doing so,would
take one years course in some Normal
School of the State and receive diplo-
ma, it would save them the trouble and
expense of being examined every year
and paying two dollars for County Su-
perintendent's certificate.
