NOTHING IMPORTANT MISUNDERSTANDING
OF PARLIAMENT TALKED OF, &C.
LONDON. January 5.-There is nothing
new in political reports or rumors to-day.
The comments Of the leading weekly Jour-
nails on the situation are unimportant.
There is talk in some quarters OF dissolu-
tion Of Parliament in consequence of hope
less divisions in the Cabinet, but it is nothing
more than conjecture. The anti-war agita-
ton throughout the country is on the in
crease, but it seems to be confined pretty
closely within party lines.
A MATRIMONIAL ARRANGEMENT.
LONDON, January 5.-The correspondent
Of the Manchester Guardian telegraphs that
a marriage has been arranged between Lord
RoseberIy and Hannah, the only daughter
OF Baron De Rothschild.
CONDITION OF THE MONEY MARKET.
LONDON, January g. The Economist
says: Money became plentiful after the
beginning of the year. Discount rates for
three months bills are now three per cent.
Turkish securities have also, though less
distinctly, advanced. French stocks and
those taking their tone from the Paris
Bourse show little feature. In American
some disposition was noticed at the close OF
the week to make less OF the pending con-
test in Congress over the silver question.
1t is, tor instance, conceived that the pay
ment OF the bonds in silver, even il passed
by the Legislature over the head OF the
Executive. would, in practice, show its in
expediepcy so plainly as to cause an imme-
date abandonment OF so dishonest pro-
ceeding.
THE slAMEsE PREPARING FOR TROUBLE WITH
CHINA.
LONDON, January GA letter from Colo
mel #. w. Knox, dated Singapore, Deem
Der 9th, says: "The Siamese are putting
their ports, ships, and army in lighting con-
dition in anticipation OF trouble with
China. A large force is working on the
ports Mt the mouth OF the Meineam river.
'sThe embargo upon the expectation OF
rice will probably cease on the 31st OF De-
cember. Several ships are in port waiting
to load rice.
"The Siamese authorities arc DESTROYS OF
increasing the trade with the United States,
and offer to do everything in their power to
accomplish the result"

Liberty, delegates from the order Of !" Mem

sion here since Monday. The delegates have
the appearance OF being mechanics and
workingmen. They come from all over the
country; there being some here from San
Francisco, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louis
vile, Chicago, &c. The organization is the
strongest in Ohio, and in Mahoney county
especially; in Youngstown every official be-
longs to the order, from the sheriff and the
mayor down to the constabulary. The fol-
lowing information has been obtained from
member:
Roman Catholics and Protestants are
alike admitted to the order. Their object
is the formation Of new national party in
the interests of aabor and more currency.
The organization insists on the remonetiza-

in favor Of Governor Young, Of OHIO, and
claimed him as member. There is State

zatlon except the secretary, to whom they
make their report, and whose name the in
formant declined to divulge.

MOVEMENT AGAINST COMMERCIAL TRAVEL
LING.
New YORK, January 5.-Tbe action OF

sample, has caused f1utter among those
who have been engaged in this class OF
work. One traveller, OH being asked what
he thought OF the movement, said: 81
think IT will be suicidal for New York, as
other cities will then make more strenuous
| efforts to get the trade, and good travel
lers will seek those cities for and obtain
employment. Being known to customers,
! they will be able to get trade as well for
one house as for another, and the traveller
who has lengthy list OF customers will not

THE QUESTION OF RECOGNIZING THE DiAZ Gov

The question OF the recognition Of the
Diaz government has been considered by
the Cabinet at recent sessions without i'm
porlant results. 1t is intimated, however,
by good authority, that il Diaz authorizes
and will sanction the cooperation OF his
troops with those OF the United States on
the Mexican side OF the Rio Grande, and
preserve order and prevent raiding, that it
will tend very much towards the recogni-
ton OF his government by the United

ICorlpspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
JANUARY 4, 1878.
The statement published by the editor Of
the .AercsTy last week is now generally ac-
cepted as q correct review OF the Berkeley
Kennedy tragedy. At first there were many
wild rumors flying around, but it is some
consolation to The friends Of Colonel Berke-
ley to know that everything that has ever
been spoken OF in connection with the sad
affair rebounds to his credit. He fell an in
noccnt victim to rage and madness.
There Is no town in the State which has
suffered more from the agitation OF the
Statc-debt question than Farmvile. Two
years ago DR.. w. w. II. Thackston and
other gentlemen obtained charter for n
manufacturing company, which would un-
doubleday have proved success but for
the constant excitement about the State
debt, which frightened away the financial
aid which had been promised in the North
aud England.
Another fact greatly to be deplored is the
resolution adopted some time ago by the
directors OF the. English and American
Bank to liquidate that institution. The
winding up is going on under the super
vision Of Mr. Alfred Moth, formerly the
cashier, and the creditors are not only be-
ing paid in full, but the stockholders will
receive all OF their money back with slight
deduction for necessary expenses. This
bank was started when English imml-
grafton was going on rapidly around here,
and it did an excellent business until the
State-debt controversy e!fectually put stop
to English investments.
There are $50 English settlers in this sec.
,ten, and do not hear Of any who conten1-
plate leaving; but in the opinion OF those
best competent to Judge there would have
been 1000 to 1900 located by this time II
the State had met her obligations. When
ever the State debt is placed upon an hon.
orable and interest-paying basis capital and
enterprise will be largely attracted to Vir-
ginia. II. w. r.
