after stating its belief that the
"Fowler Richmond" interview at
Bristol, is inconsistent with Col.
Richmond's utteranccs in Pulaski
and Giles, comes squarely ont in fa-
vor of Newberry for Congress. We
regret to differ with our respected
contemporary. Everything we
know of Col. Richmond satisfies
ne that he has been, and is a good
readiuster. We know how easy it
is for those who are anxious to
di8tort his views, to misquote his
speeches. We know the value of
an added or subtracted word. We
have seen and do know how his
Wytheville speech Of acceptance
has been misrepresented or misun-
derstood. Our friends Of the DIse
PATCH will pursue their own course,
and they must permit us to sup

But, Say the advocates of the Re-
sumption act; this contraction was
necessary in order to resume specie
payment on January l, 1879. Now
fellow citizens. it is one thing to be-
gin specie paymen: and 1t Is quite
another thing to maintain it. 1t is
quite probable that the Secretary of
the Treasury can begin to pay specie
for greenbacks on January l, 1879.
and that most. if not all of the banks
can begin to pay specie or greenbacks
at the same time; but the great ques-
ton remai.s. Could such specie pay
ment be maintained? II it could
not, why should the people be ground
between the upper and he neither

paymcn; somewhat earlier ,han the
condition of the country would insure
its continuance? On this question
the following facts are Of value 80
Great Britain and France are pre-eui-

tendon. The former has, in col e . "a
of her paper money. OF course she can
maintain speci' payments; at least 80 long
as she avoids war. France has more me
tahc than paper money, and, when at
peace, can easily maintain specie payment
But the United States, have at least; three
dollars in paper for every dollar in coin,
and even little war, or a change in the
balance Of trade, might so long as that
disprOportion exists, make shipwreck Of
their pretended specie payment. Accord

the product Of our mines is likely to fall

product has been reached, and that. unless
new and valuable mines he discovered,
there viii henceforth be a steady decrease
of production but, nevertheless, if the
balance Of trade should continue in our
favor, the Influx of gold AMI silver, together
with the pro uct of the mines, would enable
us to begin and me- intain specie payments
