THE ORIGIN OF MoNRY.

must be a substance Of the same uniform
lily Of value all over the world. II must
be substance not subject to auctuatio1
in value and susceptible Of easy division
without loss or corruption. It could not
be a vegetable production, because
the variations in the productiyeness oil
labor so employed Is very great, while
on the contrary, the amount OF labor nee.
essary to Its production must Ibe inyari4
aole and certain. So 1t was found that
y costs about the same amount Of labor
all over the civilized world to produce 4
pound OF an ounce Of gold or silver, and
that lney are found to be about equal in
price every where known. AS a distinl
guished writer on the subject Of politjcal
economy remarks, "that inasmuch az GOLD
and silver possess all the essential nnaii.
ties which are required In a Circulating
medium, we use them because we want
a circulating medium and because thew
accomplish the purpose We do not use
them because we see stamp upon then,
nor because the Government has made
them legal tender, but because we know
that they represent a given amount
Of value, and we therefore know that we
can exchange them for the same amount
Of value whenever we please. II bushel
Of wheat sells for dollar, we know that
Il costs a. much labor TO produce o dollar
as Il docs to produce q bushel OF wheat
Hence we know that this dollar cannot
be produced for less labor, nor represent
a less amount oil value. And as every
body wants q dollar, and cannot, furnish
It at less cost, we know that It Will bring
In exchange the same as we have given
Tor II. We thus SEQ that the precious met

that given to them by the cost Of the cap.

fed, and that rate only (stx per cent? can
be collected by law. Therefore, in conclu.
siou, ] ,wolld say let the law remain as II
ID In the Code. The details Of sound
policy and the best interests of the people
Of the State require that no change should
BIO made, especially when confidence is so
much impaired all over the country, and
so much uncertainty exists in the minds
Of the people as to the result Of the present

LOCAL NEWS.

The LADIES of the Union Relief Society
having exhausted all the funds in their treasury,
besides drawing largely on their private re-
sources, appeal to our citizens to me forward
and aid them in the work of charity in which
they are engaged. This Society has done as
much, if not more real good, than has been ac-
complished by associations having similar
object 10 view, and deserve the earnest co-ope-
ration Of all who can aid in alleviating the SUI
ferriugs of the destitute. Donations Of money.
food, clothing, fuel, &C., will be thankfully re
celved and properly dispensed.
?. s. Since the above was put in type We
have received the following note from the
Treasurer of the Indies Relief Association,
which speaks for itself:
SATURDAY MORNING.
TO the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
Our treasury IS empty but We have received
such repeated assurances Of the sympathy and
support of the community, that we are going
on with our work among the poor, in the con-
hdeut hope that means will be supplied to meet
our expenditures We furnish only the bare
measures Of life to those whom We visit, and
see Tor ourselves, to be IN aoaat. Will you not
a. hin appeal to the people of Alexandria for
funds for the Relief" Many of our wealthiest
citizens have as yet sent us no donations
dcughtless for want of thought-though We
have felt greatly encouraged by the numbers
who h ,Ue helped US.

him and robbed him Of clothes, watch ana al
the money be had with him. The appearance
of his face certainly indicates the worst sort OF
treatment.
The stock belonging to the superintendent
of Police is of rather an uoruly sort. A cow OF
his was sometime ago terror to al! VINO came
within her sight, and this morning two OF his
horses were disportiug themselves on Fairfax
street, near the market, to the imminent dan

who have business in Washington. MIR. Mar

Letters received here from Cumberland still
speak of the dilatoriness with which the work
on the necessary repairs to the y. Y. canal
is prosecuted, though work at some places on
the line is 10 progress, as that on the aqueduct,
at Hancock.
The slight alarm OF hre this morning was
caused by the burning of the chimney OF the
house on the northwest corDer OF the intersec-

The Mr.. Swank, who was sent down the B.

town which attended the hearing before the
committee on public buildings aud grounds in
reference to the Long Bridge are not satisfied
with the Hardness of the committee in reference
to the subject They claim that the draw of
the old Long Bridge was sixty-six feet wide,
and assert that by actual measurement the pre-
sent draw is but sixty two feet 10 width. 1t is
asserted that vessels of thirty.two feet beam, as
for instance the Charmer last summer find it
difficult to pass the draw, and that during the
war steamer Of sixty-six feet beam passed
through tie old draw, high wind made no
difference in the case of working but it is claim
ed that the present draw Is troublesome to opeu
and close during the prevalence brisk north
wester, and thus at the time vessels are less
easily managed, the draw is also handled with
greater difficulty, and the liability of accidents
there very much increased The representa-

bridge say that no undue detention il suffered
there, and that there has been no diminutior
