We would have thought that after the
avoWal by Hon. John II. Harris that he was
Il reidiuster that contendiug elements in
Rockingham would have been appeaSed.
But not so. BY very small majority the
meeting there decided not to participate in
the Staunton convention. Now, this action
upon the part OF the rcadjusterS OF Rock
ingham means great deal, and may posi-
bly, do great deal OF harm 10 the Conscr-
yative party, not alone in Virginia, but III
the whole country.
II means the djsintegration OF the party;
the downfall OF its noble mission; the hu!id-
ing up OF its enemies. 1t means the ad-
vancement of Captain Paul ut the expense
OF that party, North and South, when AFTER
SO many years OF bitter struggling succeed
ed in restoring peace to our distracted
country. It means the destruction OF AL
party organizations, by which alone can we
preserve the great principles youchsaied to
lis by our foreYathers; it means the destroy
ing and disgracinS OF the name OF VIr-
cinia it means the utter blotting out OF
all her noble past, and the blackening OF her
honor for all eternity; it means that Cap
tain Paul, and such as he, intended TO rule
or ruin.
Captain Paul claims to have been Con-
and to have always maintained and de-
Tended its honor and principles. but, like
man bereft OF bis reason, devoid OF shame,
given over to ambition, he declares that its
mission is ended. Yes, its mission ended.
Who but an idiot or i lunatic could come
to such conclusion. Ended! Yes. with
the clutches OF its enemies graphing the
throat and choking the Iife.blood out OF
the nation. Ended. With a Radical presi-
dent presiding over the destinies Of a ma
ton republican. only in name! Ended
With Senate, governed and controlled BY
the most INSCRIPTIONS band OF political
scoundrels that ever disgraced a gambling
hell. We say tits not ended. 1t never will be
ended until the Republican party is blotted
from existence. It never will be ended
until the Constitution, the safeguard left us
by our forefathers, is somewhat restored.
1t never will be ended until 1t causes peace,
with all its happy attendants, to smile upon
our land.

1t is thought that the Greeuoack party
will run candidate against MI. kENNA, the
present Democratic member OF Congress
from the kanawha district, West Virginia,
It is strange that the Democrats who gave
way to the greenback heresy did not fore
see that they could not go far enough to
satisfy the advocates OF that heresy. Look
at the West, and candidates will be found
running upon declarations OF principles so
absurd that it were folly to undertake to
combat them. Ii a Democrat comes out for
one thousand millions of dollars OF green.
backs, the Greenbacker will come out fortwo
thousand millions. And so on without limit.
II the Democrat calls for paper currency
as good as coin, the Greeubacker will de.
mand the disuse Of specie and the demone'
tization OF gold and silver. Here in Viz.
ginia some Of the Conservative candidates
for Congress are fooling 'long" this thing.
Those CT them who have any knowledge
whatever Of the science of political econo-
my and Of the laws OF finance might as well
"step down and out.s They will have to 60
TO the absurd extreme Of advocating abso.
lutte money" "irredeemable greenbacks,''
g fiat paper-money," and all that sort Of
things, and at the same time declare
that this irredecmable stuff will be as
good as gold, or else they can never satisfy
the impecunious multitude who hope to get
sc currency" without having anything to
buy it with. These intelligent gentry de-
sire to see established a scheme OF finance
whereby their pockets may be filled with
money at somebody's expense, they care
not at whose, and Of course the man who
promises the most .scurreney" will re-
ceiye the most of their votes. These men
cry ont for stmore currency meaning
"more money y; and they don't want it
issued only to people to whom the Cow
eminent owes money, but they want it
deposited in their own pockets. OF what
service 10 them would three thousand mil
lions OF currency" be II it did not I'LL
their pockets with .smoney ~ 81 It is pass
ing strange that such decisions should take
possession oil the minds Of sensible people;
but they do. There Is an impression in
the popular mind that the Government can
make something out of nothing, and by
law enrich PETER Without robbing PAUL.
Time alone can work azure. The currency
question would soon be an overriding one
With everybody II the theories o. the Green
hackers We're once put into practice; and
I she country would soon right itself.

The statement shows

lne statement SuONS-
l. The bank currency alone is more am
pie with respect to population than it was
before the war. The gold and silver coin
does not appear, but formssneaIly as large
a part OF the currency and bank reserves
now as it did in 1860.
2. The reduction in legal tenders since
1S6s-1S73, when the country enjoyed extra
ordinary apparent prosperity, has been less
by SO. 900, 900 than the incredsein bank cir
culation since 1868.
3. The nominal amount Of the currency,
all notes included, though less now than ii
was after the panic, is actually greater now,
when the addition Of silver is considered,
than it was in the prosperous years 1868
1871, inclusive.
/. The real value, or purchasing power
OF the currency, is now greater than it has
been in any year hitherto except 1860, II
paper alone is considered, and greater than
it has been iii any year il the addition OF
subsidiary silver in place OF fractional notes
is taken into account.
These conclusions, however startling 10
inlationists, also deserve very careful study
from those who advocate Il sound currency.
and especially from those who are in the
habit of reasoning that the volume OF cur"
rency controls the movemcn. CT prices. Al
glance it is plain that the known changes In
general prices since the war cannot be eX-
blamed by the changes either in nominal
amount or actual value Of currency outStana-
ing. Prices are now little lower titan in
1850, or any year since, but the nominal
amount OF currency, silver Included, Is
greater than it was in 1SG9-1S11, and the gold
value is greater than it ever has been. While
these figures will rudelv disturb many theo-
ries, and will prove especially fatal to the
herc.ics OF inflatonists, they may also war
rant some modification OF methods. il not
some reconsideration OF opinions, on the
part OF those who most ably advocate per-
nlanent restoration OF the currency to a
sound basis.-Neu York Tribune.

perhans Won did not read the plasf form OF
Che New York Green hackers as published l,
ii The s)ispatch Yesterday ~ e invite yo,,
to read the following resolution as passed
bps their State Convention:
Faf,a. The increasing poverty OF the
yenrl,ing classes Is attributable. in great
part to the monopoly OF the soil, the natural
source Of wealth, and therefore We DE.
MAND THE ADOPTION OF LAND.
LIMITATION LAWS.
There is a communistic faint in that reso-
luton. II hints at more than it says. Il
ss.sqnints . at division Of property after
man is allowed certain quantity. Is il
wonderful that the men who adopted that
resolution also adopted this:
First. The greenback dollar must be
full legal tender for the payment OF all debts,
public and private, and by the Government
issued, protected, and received as absolute
money.
This silly resolution is not one whit bet.
ter than the other. The Government can
protect bogus money; and all irredeemable
and :. absolute" money is bogus money
Congress passed law once prescribing
heavy penalty for tspeculating in green
backs. ..The life OF the nation" was al
stake. What was the result? Greenbacks
deprecated 50 rapidly that the same Con-
gress (ard at the same SESSION. which passed
the law repealed it, aud lett people free to
nut their own estimate upon the value OF
the greenbacks. And the people viii
always do this. No law has ever been able
to prevent it. No law will ever be able TO
prevent it. 1t is nothing less than commu.
.nism-n nothing less team re-dlylsion OF
property nothing less than making me
take less than value for my land, OF
wheat, or tobacco,for Congress TO print
pieces OF paper, call them so many dol
iars,'' and then compel me to sell my goods
for the same number Of these bogus dollars
that they would bring in gold or silver
dollars. This is what the word "pro-
tected'' in the above resolution means. we
in the South know by experience how a
Government "protects these paper dol
lars. The farmers were during the late war
stripped OF their corn, wheat, and horseS'
andpaid not what they could have obtained
in market overt, but Just whatever tue Gov
eminent deemed such prices as would
"protect" the Governments paper-money.
LIE, the landowners, lot-owncrs, house
owners, and all property-hoiders, rehcct
upon these things.

The Seventh District.

Parson MASSEY is authoritativeiy an-
nounced as candidate for Congress III The
Seventh district. OF course he will not pay
any respect to the action Of tie Staunton
Convention. He cares not button for the
welfare OF the people Of Virginia, and con-
Germs himself still less as to the fate OF the
Conservative party. He is selfish aSp'ranf
for position; and be will have position at
whatever sacrifice, if he can get Al. But
we dom. think he vii! be able to unite
the reGdjusters OF the district upon hlm-
self. MI. PAUL seems to be the coming man
on that side OF the question-we mean
amongst those who are wiling to destroy
the Conservative party in order to advance
their personal interests. For that is all
there is in it. Mr.. HARRIS is readjusfer,
and has declared that il he had been in Gov
eernor HOLIDAYS place he would have
signed the BARBOUR bill. This declaration
OF itself would satisfy any reasonable man,
and ought to neutralize the opposition OF
the readjusters. But it has had no such Ell
feet. PAUL, MASSEY, and the rest OF them
are bent upon getting Office for themselves.
They would rather drive Judge HARRIS out
OF their party than have him in it. They
want as many voters asthey can deceive, but
they desire TO see no more aspirants for Of
flee in their ranks. There are not offices
enough to go round. Mr. MASSEY and
other scli-scekcrs OF the same class in the
Seventh district are merely playing the
demagogue for their own personal ad-
yancement. They will find out in Novem-
Der, we hope, that Mr.. HARRIS is too firmly
entrenched in the esteem OF the people to
be defeated by combination OF the men
whose services they can command.

some Currency Figures

Secretary Sherman has published q de.
failed account of the currency outstanding
eacf, year since 1859. In this statement all
Government notes circulated as currency
are included and the notes Of State banks.
Moreover, the actual purchasing power. in
gold Of all paper currency outstanding
each year has been calculated, and it IS safe
to say that the results will be most snrprls-
ing to the advocates OF imitation. For 1t IS
plainly demonstrated that the progress TO-
ward resumption has been one, not OF con-
traction, but OF actual expansion in the
purchasing power OF the currency out

GENERAL RrrLER.S PROGRAMME.

GENERAL BUFFERS PROGRAMME.
WASHINGTON, July 2j.-Considerabic in
terest has been manifested in Republican
quarters about General Buffers future poll
teal course. 4 gentleman who arrived
here to-day from Massachusetts,, and who is
in position to know the inside workings
OF Buffers programme, says that it has be-
come plain'to his supporters that he cannot
obtain the Republican nomination for Con,
rress this year on account OF his financial
neresies: that Butler has Il very strong eie-
in Ills district who will vote the Green
back ticket, estimated at about one foulth OF
the voters. Buffers friends believed that his
personal strength viii draw from both the
Democratic and Republican ranks enough
votes, added to those cast by the National
lists, to secure his election TO the House as
the candidate OF the latter faction. TO Sc
cure an election under such circumstances,
it is held by his supporters, would give
Butler such prestige as would almost be
certain to result in his nomination for the
presidency BY the Nationalist two years
hence. The feeling against Butler among
Republicans in his district, who two years
AGO worked for his election, is said by this
gentleman to be very bitter, and it is freely
asserted that Buffers friends are greatly
mistaken ii they suppose he can get enough
Republican votes to insure bis election rs an
independent or NationaliSt'candidatc
