the leaders in this movement, so anxious
were they for office under the new State
government, succeed in gulliDg the peo-
pie, or the few who had voice in it, to
ratiiy the additional section wherein
West Virginis voluntarily assumed to
pay an equitable proportion OF the old
debt. That is the history of that job be-
tween the Northern bondholders and
West Virginia office seekers
NO BONANZA.
1t is gratifying, however, to learn that
Mr.. Wiley has not been tortured int"
an expression or intimation as to the
ouaat,tp, of Indebtedness due from West
Virginia to Virginia, if indeed there be
any upon equitable settlement This a
,acil admission that is little unexpected.
If there is doubt in the mind OF the ex-
Senator about it. why the necessity OF
srraigning West Virginia upon charge
of dishonor2 Must she be denied "the
homage and respect OF mankind" because
her people think, as he thinks, that pos
sibly she owes nothing upon an equitable
settlement?
There is no bonanza in the discussion
of this question for any political party.
1t is rot question of party; it is one
which touches Democrat and Republican
alike. 1t is one which appeals to US as
West Virginisns, whose object it is to
protect our interests and defend the honor
of our State. "Vindex" is mistaken If he
thinks that those who feel as / do expect
to make political capital out of this ques-
tion. 1t Is a matter OF public interest
and consequently Legitimate subject OF
discussion through the press. 1t Is also
a subject of. enquiry as to what motives
govern the public actions OF public men.
With the private characters of individu.
ais / have nothing to do, and never in
tentionally reler to anything of kind.
My criticisms are only intended for acts
in connection With their public services.
And rs a citizen of West Virginia L GER
tainly claim the privilege of discussing
whatever pertains to the interest OF the
State If"Vindex" seeks for bonanza
permit me, in the spirit OF kindness, to
suggest to him to wait until the next
time VIC have dual election.

WASHINGTON, March AFTER full
consideration and consultation with
members of both Houses OF Congress,
the Secretary Of the Treasury has deter
mined that the first silver dollars TO be

enable him to do SO lmpartisliy. They
will, therefore, at present be used for the

Resumption Repeal.

1t is learned that the delay in taking
up the bill to repeal the Resumption Act
is IT. the instance of some of Its friends,

if it can be passed over veto. Some OF
them believe that two.thirds vote can
be had for modified bill, which shall re.
peal the date clause and leave q bare de.
clsrstion in favor OF resumption; and
others are urging that if the bill can not
be passed over q veto i. had better not &c
pressed al all, as its defeat by veto
would simply injure the cause without

a story THAT Reads Fishy.

The commander of the tribal armies
of Afghanistan is John Hinton, for

years ago he was a poor orphan, with

care for him. When he reached man
hood he enlisted in the regular army,
and served in the Florida war Soon
after it closed he shipped as a common
sailor on a vessel bound for the East
Indies. At Madras he left the vessel
and enlisted in the British army. In
it he served several years, and in the
Sepoy rebellion so distinguished him
self as to receive a gold medal. After
his discharge he engaged in trading,
travelling across the Indus river
through Afghanistan and Persia to
Turkey and back. He acquired i'm
mense wealth, and was the owner Of
five caravans, numbering 1900 horses
and camels and fifty elephants. He
went to Cabul in 1864 for copper, great
quantities of which are there mined
and smelted, where he attracted the
attention of the ameer by his display
of wealth, and was invited to an au-
dience-an honor which a Christian
had never before received. He pre-
