THE VIRGINIUS.

Interest in the "Virginius" affair is once
more revived by statement just made by
Secretary Fish to newspaper correspondent !:
"Y ou may say" he said, ''tbat the Amer
lean Government has made prompt demand
and one quite as decided and peremptOry as
that made by the British Government, for
indemnity for the lives of the prisoners de,
stroyed and the loss to their families"
All of which, says the Lancaster MteNI-
gcncer, may indicate that the Administration.
in view of the next Presidential election, is look
ing around for some means of Withdrawing the
attention of the people from its numerous of
fences against decency, morally and public
order, and thinks of getting up little war with
crippled Spain to answer its purpose After
disgracefuIly failing to defend the honor of the
flag when the Virginius outrage was perpe>
trated, it proposes at this late day to revive
our grievance for an unworthy object.

THE NBW oURRBNcY AoT.

The currency. bill presented by the confer.
ence committee passed the house with so lit
tie debate in the confusion attending the close
of the session, that it seems that few members
of the House knew what they were acting
upon and fewer still had given the bill a care.
full reading and analysis. The comments
made by the press, however, says Washing
ton dispatch, have walked them to the fact
that the section redistributing the s55, 000,-
900 was not the only one that affected the
NatioCal bank system, but that the second
section practically relieves the banks from even
the little check heretofore imposed to protect
depositors. 1t isIa fact thatso few knew that
the banks were relieved from the 10 per cent
reserve to protect depositors, that many MEM
bers of the House called upon Comptroller
Knox and urged upon him that the real intent
and meaning of the bill, as the House under
stood it, was to-recall the reserves from the
New York banks and place 10 of the Is per
cent reserve provided in tho act of 1864 Ill
the vaults of each National Bank. These
members point to the clause in the new bill
repeating the section in the old act, which
reads, "but the moneys required by said Sec.
81 to be kept at all times on hand, and shall
be determined by the amount of deposit in
all respects as provided for in said section, !"
and claim that the intent of the bill is to
leave 10 per cent in the hands of each bank.
Comptroller Knox points to the clause pre-
ceding the one above quoted, which reads that
the banks shall not hereafter be required to
keep on hand any amount of their respective
circulation, and turns to a clause in Sec. 8
of the new bill which reads:
"And provided further. That 50 much of
the National Bank act requiring or permit
ting the redemption of circulation elsewhere
than at its own counter, except as provided
for in this section, is hereby repealed" and
then tells the anxious Congressman that he
has passed an act which only requires any
National Bank to deposit 5 Per cent of its
circulation, and no more, with the Comptrol-
Ter for redemption of its rctes, and nothing
whatever in the bill will compel cent 10 be
kept III the vaults. The consequence is the
members don't know what to do about it, and
are especially astonished at learning that Sem
ator Frelnghuysen, Edmunds, Morrill,, of
Vermont, and others, called attention to this
point, while the bill was being debated in tho
Senate, and showed the danger of the remov-
ing this safeguard.

HARPER's FERRY PROPERTY.

The following resolution was, as we are in
formed, adopted on the last day of the recent
session of Congress. 1t is to be hoped that
the title to the Harper's Ferry water power
may be soon set at rest, end that this magniG-
cent property may be no longer permitted to
remain unused. The opinion of Congress
is pronounced is these preambles and this reso-
luton, and we have no doubt that the case
will be speedily urged to a satisfactory con-
clusion
WHEREAS, What is known as the "Har-
per's Ferry Armory" property was sold at pub,
lie sale in 1869, to F. c. Adams, by direction
of the War Department, and the entire pur-
chase money thereof has long since been due
but no part thereof has been paid and,
WHEREAS, From the neglect of said prop
erty it is fast depreciaeing and being destroyed
in value, to the pecupiary loss and suffering
of the people of Harper's Ferry and,
WHEREAS, decree from the proper court
has been granted for the resale of the prop
erty in order to obtain the purchase money,
with ioterest and costs therefore.
Resofced, That the Attorney General be
requested to proceed at once, by all legal
means, to enforce the collection of the amount
due the Government by F. q. Adams aud his
sureties on said purchase

THE NEW POSTAL LAW,

The great New York dailies consider tho
new postage law, or that provision which re-
quires prepayment of postage by the publish
ers of newspapers, oppressive, and purposely
designed to be So They believe, moreover,
that it will have the effect to induce the large
city journals to use the express, and thereby
diminish the revenues of the Postofice De-
partmept. We, with Lynchburg Tuiyinian,
hope i: will. Two dollars hundred between
New York and Philadelphia, or New York
and Washington, is heavy rate The ex>
press can carry papers between these points
for less than half that amount and the news
dealers ought to patronize the express
There never was the slightest reason for
this change in the law. 1t is not true that
the Government ever gave credit on postage,
since it was the duty of postmasters to
collect for all newspapers sent to subscribers,
quarterly an ad0amcc. On transient news
papers, the law required absolute prepay
mont, and if through neglect at the mailing
Office this requirement was not met, it was
made the duty of the delivering postmaster to
charge double postage on the said newspaper
Seeing. therefore, that there was no necessity
for such change in the law, we object to it
because it imposes an onerous burthen upon
publishers of newspapers, in requiring them,
instead of our subscribers, to pay for the de-
livery of their journals from Maine to Cali
fornia.
But it was characteristic of the last two
sessions of Congress, and in keeping with
their policy, to Cypress the newspapers by
which they were Iashed into decent con-
formity to the rules of common honesty
More than six months must elapse before this
law goes into operation, and we trust that
such a}protest will be uttered against it by
tthe country as will induce Con-
ress when it meets again in December, to
Reconsider It's action and restore the old we'll
established principle, that they who receive
newspapers regularly, shall pay the postage
thereon

THE PRESIDENT I'm WEST YIR-
GINA,


The President, Mrs.sGrant and maid, and
DIR. Norris left the White Sulphur Springs
Saturday, the 9th ugt., and arrived at Charles
ton that afternoon. Among the gentlemen
introduced to the President on the way was
ex-Confederate General McCausland, with
whose name the President smilingIy expressed
himself rather familiar. On the arrival of
the party at Charleston grand ovation was
rendered them. A tall mulato woman rushed
up. seized the Presidents hand, shook it vi
olently, aud lavished the most extravagant
expressions of endearmeut upon him. As
soon as the crowd became still, Col. Smith, a
venerable lawyer, delivered cordial address
ofwelcome. to which the. President replied as
follows:
Gentlemen-It affords me pleasure to visit
my friends at Charleston. About thirty years
ago-but that makes me older than | thought
when l was cadet at West point, | prom
ised my aunt, Mrs. Tom kius, and the other
relatives referred to by Colonel Smith, resid>
ing in this valley, to visit them, and not until
now have | been permitted to make good the
promise. am sorry that cannot remain
with you longer than two days.
The President and Mrs Grant held an in
formal reception Saturday evening at the res
idence of Colonel Swami. Sunday the Pres.
ident and Mrs. Grant attended the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and next day left Charles
tog, to visit Mrs. Tompkins, at Cedar Grove,
