WHAT RICHMOND THINKS.
RICHMOND. Va, April %, Is

RICHMOND, Va, April %, 1874.
The announcement Of the Presidents veto was
received here late in the afternoon ana was
at once bulletined. But 1t failed to create
any excitement. There was very little re-
mark in fact, and the people appeared to
take it very cooIy. There has not been
great deal OF feeling exhibited with regard to
the matter in this city during the entire discussion
and 1t was at oil times rather difficult to decide
whether Richmond favored or was opposed to In
Nation. The people generally did not appear to
fully understand the question, and they could not
see how an increase OF the currency could help
matters here anyhow. There seems to be enough
to meet all demands, and more could
not possibly nave increased their power to
produce or manufacture or do any more
business than they are actually doing; indeed,
so divided has been the feeling and views that
while a large portion OF the press has abstatned
from any expression OF opinion, and treated the
matter with perfect indifference one or two lead
from ne rst. the EnaeS and pispatcn OF this
city both, however, favored It, but have not been
over Jealous In their support Of the measure. Our
public men are mostly conservative, and cOnse-
quently have dread Of imitation In any form or
under any pretext.
The President has probably not made one enemy
or one friend less than he had In Virginia By
his veto, and doubtless thousands who would
course in their heart OF hearts.
WHAT AN INFLATlONIsT SAYS
The Enquirer Was the most earnest advocate Of
the nnatonists and It WILL publish In the morning
the following remarks on the veto:-
The President has vetoed tho Finance BILL from which
the masses OF the people, the business men of the
community, and especially OF the West and SOUTH
na hoped industrial fsry Interest," ssss m.S 70
be the reasons 81 the President for exer-
cising the veto power in this Instance, it Is
evident that he has counter to the wants and wishes
working classes OF the country The money kings
the satisfaction Of seeing the great measure which
they have assiduousy opposed crushed out by the
veto after its passage by Congress And now with the
reins in their hands, they happy again after
and work on as best they may under their
ments The currency question will be salient issue IN
the next national election.
WHAT THE ORGAN OF THE BANKS THINKS.
The Dispatch, which perhaps more generally re-
presents the banking and financial interests OF
Richmond than any other paper In Virginia,
says
The South Is probably better on with the veto than
abe would have been with the law by itself IL was no
great things # only added small amount TO the cnr

the ties between them and he South closer. General
Grant goes with the down East money changers and
stock and that e M to the great

the South and that We hope, will be worth far
TO than any advantage that could be conferred
by the bill We take 4 that the veto does one OF two

chance tor him to be elected.
