RICHMOND LEGISLATIVE TIcKEr.-[Norfolk
,..1'sssgtSsan:l THE psopfs or Richmond have
set before Us -an excellent example in the
selection Of their legislative ticket. Not
withstaHdlng the existence Of rings and
cliques IN That city anxious to put forward
their favprites for Legislative honors, the
people quietly took this matter In band,
attended the; ward meetings, selected Ia
Tented and responsible delegates to confer
with one another in convention, and the
result Is the putting forward Of such men as
Anderson, 0uld, sDooley, Loyenstein, and
Gilman-all of them worthy Of the. conf
dence of the Richmond voters, and all Of
whom, we predict, will be triumphantly
elected = Z. ~ z p" @&&

hanks to the clearinghouse is very small
compared with the bulk Of the exchange.
In the first five wears Of the establishment Of
the New York cearipg-house-from 1858 to
1S5s-the cleariugs amounted to $3O,675,-
933, $50. 36, while the amount OF specie ana
coin certificates in which the balances were
then paid was Sl,574, 430, 330.46. But the
transfer and counting OF this amount OF
specie was found to be troublesome, and be-
fore the clearinghouse had existed i've years
the system of coin certificates was established.
The Bank of America was made common
depository, and each of the associated banks
sent there Its coin and received in exchange
certificates which were good in settling bal

balances very small, although its representa-

clearinghouse when the legai-tender act OF
1852 went into full effect.
In London is clearinghouse in which
the clerks of the res pectiye banks make their
settlements BY personal interview much
clumsier and more expensive method than
that used in New York and other cities In
this country. From this London house,
however, the first idea sprung, and 1t was,
like most British notions, improved upon

In Edinburgh enjoy the advantage of a clear
lighthouse, and they use to make their settle,
ments eXcbeQuer bills, Of which a special
issue for the purpose is made by the English
Government.
IN ENGLAND
most of the principal railroad companies are
interested in clearing house, which was
established in 1S49 for the purpose of adj
iusting their accounts with each other.
Railroad accounts in England are more
complicated than here, because the lines arc
SO much shorter than here, and consequently
each item of traffic involves accounts with
diverse reads. Then the items are more
numerous than here, as the railroad compa-
MES there do all the express business
r.parccIs" they call it, which here Is
