A member of the Ohio Legislature has
found an amendment to the conslitu-
tion proposed by Mr.. Madison in 1879,
but never ratified by sufficient num-
Der OF States to become a law. II has q
special significance at the present time,
and Is as fellows: "AIticle Second
No law varying the compensation for
the services Of the senators and repre-
sentatives shall take effect until an elec-
ton Of representatives shall have inter
vened." When the amendment was
offered there were only twelve States i'm
the Union, and, consequently. the rafi-
ficatiOn ofnine was sufficient to make a
law. 1t never received but eight. and
it is proposed that enough more States
ratify it now, and thus put stop 10 flI-
ture salary grabs. II is an interesting
question whether the action of those
eight States still holds good, and if The
amendment may still be acted upon.
since the constitution names no limit
for the ratification Of proposed amend
ment.

SPECIE payments, it seems, so far as
regards silver, have already been decided
upon by the treasury department. With
this end in view the mint is busily en-
gagged in coming, and the government
expects by next week to be able to- begin
paying out silver in the ordinary course of
business: This done, it will not be long
before gold comes down to its relative
standard of value with greenbacks, which
will have fixed value as to silver, and
hence no forced depreciation can be effected
in the values Of either. IF the relative
values Of gold and silver have materially
changed in the bullion markets of the world,
the two metals should be recoined so as to
equalize their respective values.

THE CONTEST IN VIRGINIA,

Tho New York Times of yesterday has
a we'll considered editorial on the Soon
test in Virginia." which, if not so conf
dent and enthusiastic in tone as it might
be, is still hopeful of a result in the state
similar to what we have all along conf :
IDENTIFY predicted. The Times speaks from
a standpoint where the popular sentiment
is pulsed with less difficulty and certainty
than on the ground where the contest is
Sisibly waging, and this is sufficient to
accountfor the more guarded expressions
1t uses as to the final result 1t makes,
nevertheless, the following excellent re-
marks and suggestions
''l'he Old Dominion has rarely been
more absorbed in political contest than
1t Is now, and the fact Of this general
interest in political contest is due to
The vlgor of the Republicans in placing
their cause fully before the people. Our
friends have not only been energetic but
sensible IN all their movements. Their
platform appeals with equal force to the
feelings of nationality and state pride. 1t
contains nothing of Incorporate alluslon to
the past, and it pledges the party to adhere
faithfully to the principles which have con-
1erred such great blessings upon the nation
and upon other states. Upon this platform
has been placed Colonel r. w. Hughes, a
native VirglmaD, long known to the people
OF his state as man of ability and integri-
ty. Around him have rallied many of
those who have been foremost for many
years as leaders of Virginia sentiment. 1t
Is not singular that under such circumstan-
ces the terms Of carpet-bagger and
"sealawag' - have been dropped by COM
mon consent.
But we are fully convinced that a
Republican triumph in Virginia is re-
CURED to prevent any resurrection of the
past. We cannot be sure that Democratic
success would not give fresh lie to
anInosities which now seem, happily, in a
comatose condition. A Republican victory
would bring the state beyond all question
Into full accord with the nation. 1t
would destroy the last hopes of the last
deVotees OF the lost cause. 1t would
invite emigration, and build up the
material prosperity Of Virginia as nothing
else could. 1t would be verdict for the
future and final abandonment of the past,
1t would hasten that era of good feeling
which is necessary to complete and perfect
Union. In saying this we do not deny the
sincerity of the Democrats in their present
professions, but with success it is natural
they should return to the proscriptiye policy
which has so long delayed perfect restora-
ton OF peace. In some quarters efforts
are still being made to convince the peo-
pie that the Republican party is de.
termned to establish social equality be-

MoLLER's Trade Circular. London
periodical of high authority in trade circles.
states that the high price of iron now
charged in England, owing to heincreased
cost Of coal and iron for new steamships,
has given great impetus to their building
in Sweden, Denmark, and the North of
Germany, where the cost of the material is
much lower than in England
The same journal says:
"Also in America where ship building
had almost ceased a few years ago, great
progress is now making; extensive iron
and coal fields having been discovered in
dlfferents parts of the country, have sup.
piled the means of working as cheaply as
in this country. Within barely eighteen
months single ship builder has actually
launched or put on the stocks iron steamers
of the aggregate capacity of 27 900 tons, two
of which were 5000 tons each. Under these
great competition may be
expected abroad in the iron ship building.
provided a reduction in the price of raw
material does not enable the builders in
this country to check the same and main
tain their former superiority"

We would like to know by what
authority Judge Lacy and his associate
registrar of the Jefferson market
precinct, threaten Republicans, quietly
IN attendance upon their sittings IS
challengers of qualification, with arrest
and berth in the lock up if they do not
make themselves scarce in the discharge of
such duty. The Republicans have
the same right of personal atteaG-
ance on the part Of their canyasseis
at these registration meetings that the
Conservatives have, and what is more,
they intend to exercise 1t. Why is it, if
Their attendance is so offensive, that the
Conservatives should be allowed TO have
five or six policemen acting as challengers
for them, to the neglect Of other and more
legitimate duties? What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander, and if there
is any political bastng on one side, it will
be followed by the same operation on the
other. We are to have fair show in this
matter of registration and voting, in spite
of official batons or bilies, and the sooner
the Conservatives and police force of Rich
mond find this out the better. The game
of bluff and intimidation don't win in this
fight.
Our own opinion is that it is not only lille
gal to place the police force of the city o. reg.
istration duty, but an outrage to surround
the place ofregstration with half dozen Do
licemen, to threaten and bully those seeking
in quiet manner to register their names as
voters. Yesterday, these outside police.
men were engaged in debating who should
be allowed to register and who not, while
Republicans were threatened with arrest
and imprisonment, if they interposed any
/ objections to the action of the policemen
acting there as Conservative registrars.
With a fair and impartial registration
and vote. and an honest count, the Re-
publicans will be satisfied, whether they
are outvoted or not. But fair play will
be demanded, and, what Is more, aciH be
