SPrTEFUL.-The Eeery EUeaiug dnt
Commercial prints a column article re
plete with fre quent denunciation of tn
Democratic members of Congress VIII,
favor the siive bill now under debate.--
We presume the people view these sour
rilous remarks at their worth. But the,
will hardly believe that 100 Democrat
and Republicans who carried Bland's sill
yer bill through the House were eithe
"rdscals" or "ignoramuSes," as that pa
per calls them. 1t winds up its long ii
rade Of abuse with the following spitefu
and slanderous prediction which, should
the bill pass, we believe will be found
to prove false in every particular
"It will break down our trade abroad
unsettle business at home, and injure the
reputation and credit of the nation, and
Will not even accomplish the ends in view
Gals and many honest ignoramuses who
are pressing IL in and out of Congress. II
Hayes is a STATE smanhe will veto the bill
pass in what shape it may"
All the Democrats in the House, ex>
cept a few inferior members, includi ng
,. 5. Cox, who has disguised the great
mass of Democratic voters by attempting
to destroy Mr.. Hewitt's efforts to extend
the sale and export of corn to Europe,
thereby beneftting our farmers, voted for
the bill. If this bill is not Democratic
measure then the party vote in the House
was reduced to eight, not one of whom
made respectable speech in opposition
to it and we doubt whether any one of
them are competent to do so. In fact
there has not been an able argument of
fered against it in either House. Even
the hired writers who attempt to puff the
speeches made in its favor do so by say
ing such a speech was the "best so far
made by the opposition. When Mr.. Da-
Wis, of N. O., openly charged that silver
was demonetized secretly and by fraud,
by the Radicals, none dared TO refute the
charge, while every man Of intelligence
knows that silver, when legal tender, is
just as good as gold, and far better for
currency, since gold pieces are too small.
If the bill passes and the legal tender
clause is not stricken out, the silver dol
lar will at once advance above the green
back and go up to gold. 1t will not take
from gold any of its value, but every sill
yer dollar will have the same additional
value added to it that gold and the green
back now has, viz: the stamp full and
impress of the commendation of the re-
public, If it is true that the silver dollar
is only worth 81 cents, then Congress
made it so; and when the silver bill
passes each workman who has ten dol
lars in silver will find that it will be
worth about 80 cents more but the
bankers gold will not be worth any less.
Silver is the favorite money with the
people and their government ought not
to disgrace it.

A number OF Interesting experiments
nave nave been recently carried out at
Metz by committee of engineer officers
appointed to investigate the prache bill
NY OF employing electric lights during
siege operations. On the nj ght of Oct
20, Forts Frederic Charles and AlyensIe.
Den we're illuminated by throwing the
electric light upon them, when ii was
found that at distance of from two to
three Kilometres not only buildings but
also individual men could be- plainly
made out. On the night of the 18th Of
October the electric apparatus was ar.
ranged on the exercising ground, outside
the Chambiere Gate, and the light di.
rected upon row of targets. Fire was
then opened against these latter by a
squad of ritiemen, and the practice made
was nearly as good as that recorded
when firing by day-a result which was
considered exceedingly satisfactory, as
a thick mist materially interfered with
the action of the light, The committee
concluded that the electric light NAV in
future be employed with adv antage NOT
only In selge operations, but also during
outpost duty and engagements at night.

required military foIce of 1000 men, the

THE TRIB UNEA FRIGHTENED.

from the NORFOLK Landmark.
The New York Tribune is dreadfully
alarmed over q declaration made by Mr.
Watterson that the Democrats intend
TO "level some of the vast inequalities
which exist between the benefciares of
the Government" By this he means
that when public money is spent some of
1t is to come to the South for the lmproy-
ment of the physical aspects of the coun-
try. This seems reasonable to us, but
the Tribune takes a different view of She
matter and cries out in great alarm as
will be been by the following quotation
from its columns:
In other words, the North having oh.
tained large appropriations for internal
improvements while the slave States
were seeking by force of arms to break
out of the Union, the South is now to
thrust her lean and eager hands into the
treasury and take out such amouHt as
she thinks will make things even. ih
This Is just what many Republicans
have been apprehending for a long time.
NOW that the project is SO unhesitating-
1y avowed from SO responsible q source,
easy-going people who imagine that a
political millennium is at hand when all
sectio onal issues are to be forgotten, will,
perhaps see that what they have been
rldiculing as an alarmists' phantom or
ticians, wears the look of pretty tangi-
Bile reality. The dangers of the immedi-
ate future relate to bankruptcy rather
than 10 civil rights. The South has o.
through warning on the negro. Is it 10
make an alliance now with Northern in
hationists and repudiationists for war
on the Treasury?
This is foolish and unamiable writing.
The South has not been warning ON the |
negro, and thus far has proved the guar
dian, not the enemy, of the Treasury, |
which has been chiefly plundered by |
people north of the Potomac But, if
Norfolk should want few hundred |
thousand dollars for her harbor, never, |
until now, having received a copper
from the Government, we shall not stand |
back because the Tribune is frightened
or disposed to howl. Virginia pays more
money to the Government that all the
New England States put together, and
hasn't received one hundredth part the |
return. Nevertheless, we are for strict
economy, and shall never advocate ap-
preparations except for works which are
,eaily deserving.
