THIS is the kind of hard money men
Messrs. Thurman, Morrison, Barnum, Nc
Donald and Payne are: At the Democratic
congressional caucus Saturday Mr.. Thurman
tried his hand at effecting compromise and
proposed as the basis Of bill the repeal of
the resumption act, the boarding of gold at
the rate of three per cent. year, instead of
four and fisepe cent, as proposed by Messrs.
Morrison and Payne, and carefully providing
against. any contraction. The vote on this
proposition was as follows: In favor, Thur
man, Payne, Morrison, Barnum and McDon-
ald-5; against, Holman, Bright, Southland,
Sheakley and Walker-5; absent, Bayard,
Merrimon and Gibson-3. Advices from
Washington indicate that initiation is, on the
whole, perceptibly gaining in the country.
and this doubtless encourages Holman in his
obstinate refusal to listen to any suggestions
Of compromise. He now positively refuses to
agree to any legislation whatever not directly
opposed to contraction.

All Diseases of the Blood.

If VEGETINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and
cure such diseases, restore the patient to perfect
health after trying different physicians, many reme-
dies suffering for years. is it not conclusive proof if
you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this
medicine performing such great cures? 1t works in
the blood In the circulating fluid. 1t can truly be
called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source Of
disease originates in the BLOOD and no medicine that
does not act directly upon IT, to purify and renovate,
has any Just claim upon public attention.

T,EEIl EARTHOUAKE.

That portion Of Virginia lying
East of the Blue Ridge, was, on
the evening of the 22nd ult., sha-
ken by an earthquake, the great
est in the memory of Vlrginians
now living. 1t seems not to have
been felt North OF the Potomac, or
South of Danville. The heaviest
shock was at Richmond and occurs
red about Is minutes before mid
night. lis duration was probably
ten seconds. The Editor of this
paper was in the third story Of the
st. James Hotel, and had retired
to bed when the chock came. The
sensation was as though the oppo-
site end of the Hotel had lallen in,
and the remaining walls were 1ol-
lowing in succession. There was
afterward sensible hpheaval Of
the entire building, which then
swayed to and fro in direction sub~
stantially from North to South
People ran affri2htedly into the
streets and gathered into excited
groups, discussing tie event, and
fearing more to come. This wri-
ter simply stood at his window, and
saw the DIsPATCH empticd of its
numerical force from fourth story
to pavement. But little damage
was done, save the fracturing OF
plastered walls. The wonder is
that brick walls We're not shattcr-
ed, and insecure ones demolished
A milder shock followed after a
ten minutes repose, and all was
over.
