THE ex-President, to the contrary
Notwithstanding, We may repeat what
we have frequently said heretofore, and
which our future course viii verify,
that we stand utterly aloof from all the
Senatorial combinations going on to
affect the next Legislature, and warn
the people that there is danger Of i'm
portant State interests being lost sight
of in their attempted consummation.
The UNION AND AMERICAN has no
favorite IN the Senatorial race. We
are not for Gov. Brown nor Col. Saw
age, nor Gen. Bate, nor Judge Brown,
nor Gen. Quarles, nor VIM. H. Steph-
ems, nor ex-President Johnson. Neither
are we against any one of these, per-
sonally, as compared with the
others. In pursuing our impartial
course, we elnay offend each and
all of them, as we have already of.
Tended more than one or two or three.
As to the public utterances Of any
one or other of these aspirants, on
finances or any other topic, we held
ourselves as free to comment and criti-
CHE as they are to utter and publish.

ruined. say elect your own Senators as
far as possible. IL is the tendency of the
Government to change its character. If
YOU permit third term President, il is the
last time YOU elect President: monarchy
would result. Your next Congress would
adopt some such measure as this: A reso-
luton would be offered declaring that the
interests of this country are in such
a State that il is not safe to entrUst to the
people the election Of President, and we
therefore declare A, B. or Gen. Grant, if
YOU please, President of the United States
for the next ten years,and you woult
be helpless If Congress had twO-thirls
majority to carry this point. You may say
YOU have an army and navy, but 1t would

Mr.. johnson then explained his objec-
tions to the present National banking sys-
TEN. saying that bankers receive 10 pes
cent. on the capital invested in their busI-
ness, and in the eXigencies OF trade, much
more sometimes.
A yoice--a man gets out Of paying taxes
on money invested in Government bonds,
too, don't he?"
Mr.. Johnson-Yes, sir; thank you for
the suggestion. Instead Of banking upon
bonds, issue greenbacls bearing no interest
and lift the bonds placed on deposit. DO
this and we will save paying six per cent
interest on 4OO,OOO,OOO, making S24,OOO,-
600. Let us quit talking about ''partys
and talk about thcse great questions, and
let party serve the country instead OF hav-
ing the party served by the country.
The feasibility of making our currency
correspond with the constitutional standard
may be seen by reference to few factsde-
rived from our commercial statistics.

amounted to Sl,1T4, 100000, while, for the

Williamsburg Asylum has eight of such
patients, and one whose expenses are hall
paid. DIR. Striblng, of the Staunton
Lunatic Asylum, says:
"There are number of patients who
have long been here whose estates, when
they were admitted, were supposed to be
ample for their support. The charges
have been annually entered on the books,
and the accounts rendered to the proper
representatives. Due diligence has been
used in collecting. Some Of these accounts
have been of such long standing as to
amount to large sum. They are being
prosecuted as the law authorizes. After
carefully examining our records, can re-
port only twenty-three patients from
whose estates, or the obligations Of friends,
we can reasonably expect prompt pay
ment.

than such as are furnished in the Virginia
institutions at half the price,"

HE NORTH CAROLINA VOLCANO
Dispatches from the vicinity of Bald
mountain. North Carolina, state that the
internal noises heard in the mountain re-
semble those heard in Mt. Etna, before q
volcanic eruption. Throughout the entire
country, and for distance of sixteen
miles from the mountain, extending into
adjoining counties, these sounds are not
only heard, but the trembling and rever-
beration of the earth is perceptibly felt.
In numerous instances, for several miles
from the mountains, the glasses
have ratified in the windows and
the dishes have been shaken from
the shelves to such an extent as to
create the most widespread conster.
nation among the rural inhabitants. This
has again caused a still greater stampede
of the citizens, many of whom supersti
tiously regard the terrible symptoms as
an indication of Judgment Day." A
passenger on Western train states that il
is pitiful to see the unsophisticated rustics
flying in such terror, while at the SAME
time he believes that the cause of the
stampede is not without its due foundation
The latest accounts from the disturbed

no volcanic eruption of lava or fire, though
the terrific and internal rumblings. heard a
a distance, were so great Tuesday morn.
ing as to induce the belief that veritabl'
and genuine volcanic outbreak had takel

tire western section of the state is intense
and many people are repairing to the seen
in the hope of witnessing for the first tim
