DEBr-pAYERs AND READJusTERs FINAL
LY DIVIDED IN THE LEGISLATURE
BOTH SIDES BARGAINING WITH THE RE-
PUBLICANs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The chief po-
litical topic is the contest between the
Debt-payers and Readjusters. 1t trans
pires that each class of Democrat; has
elected an equal number of members to
the Legislature, while the Republicans
have elected ~ members, of whom 10
are classed ms Debt-payers and II as Re-
adjusters. This difference gives the Re-
adjusters a small majority if 10 other
question entered in TO complicate mat
tiers, but other questions do enter in.
and the Republicans propose, while
holding the balance of power, TO secure
concessions which will advance their in
terests. The leaders of both classes of
Democrats are Offering very advantage
GUS terms and the question under con-
sideration is (Which side will most sure
ly carry out the promise made" The
present State officers are debt-payers,
and as their continuance in office and
the general distribution of patronage
depends upon the triumph of their side,
and offer to keep open the schools and
repeal the poll tax law whereby thous-
ands Of colored people are deprived of
their votes, and concede other political
advantages if the Republicans only Join
them in measure for the payment of
the debt and the election of the State
officers. The Readjustcrs offer similar
terms, except that they ask that Malone,
their leader, be elected United States
Senator. 1t is understood that the
promise Of Republican support was Civ
en- to Malone during the canvass, he
represented to them that reputation
was not intended; that there were other
things besides the debt to be readjusted;
that the school closing measure, which
originated with the debt-paye:s, needed
readjusting; that the system of taxation
needed readjusting, and that the poll
tax law, which requires payment months
before election day, needs readjusting,
so that colored Republicans may no long
er be deprived Of their votes; hence the
name readjusters has had liberal mean
ing in the canvass, which gave Malone
a great advantage, Both sides have
sought to cultivate friendly relations
with the colored people and very friend
ly relations exist between the races
The contest has been watched with deep
interest from here. The President sees
in the results of this campaign and in
the present situation better prospect
for the future Of Virginia. The colored
voter is now all important factor, and
all rights being assured, peace and pros
pelity will follow.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER, 25, 1879.
THE SENATORSHIP

We believe the Readjusting ele>
ment in the Legislature will prove
strong enough to elect Gen. Malone.
Virginia can claim to have scored
point if she can pu. in that exalted
mich man ofabsolute ability strong
will and magnetic influence such as
Gen. Malone undoubtedly is. There
are no barnacles on his hull, aud
there are within his composition more
of the elements of progress and eff
cheney than any other live Virginian.
The whole cast Of the man is of the
strategic military character, such as
looks to those rapid combinations Of
present means which must evolve the
speediest and NJ ost valuable results.
Such men have in all ages made the
greatest civilians and wiSest legisla-
tors. lie speedily rose to fame and
front rank in the army and his ad-
ministration of the A. NJ. 4 0. r r.
was cne Of most marked ability.
Even under the panic of 1873 be
came near saving 1t and though he
merely postponed its loss for eight
years, that loss would have been i'm
mediate but for him. Even in his
retirement he has had strong hand
upon the unseen machinery that
works great state movements. and
place him where you may the State
is very sure to feel his presence
You can't bind him gentlemen. and
you had just as well put his vigorous
machinery to work in the very heart
and center Of your political system.

important legislation-to>wit, the al

requisite for the right Of suffrage
AS the editor Of this paper steadily
resisted and voted against the adop-

House Of delegates and at the polls,
1t is unnecessary to say We shall hail
with pleasure and approval its repeal.

The Trade Dollar.
II me rdltor of The Kenat5te Jomrnaf.

To the Editor Of the Keaae5ee JoHrndf
see that it is claimed by the National
Democrat that the trade dollar is a legal ten
der for small sums. This matter ought to be
set right Ell once. in order 10 prevent loss to
those who may take the trade dollar at par,
supposing il 20 be legal tender Ii Is true
that the act of 1873 makes the trade dollar,
together with the smaller silver coins, legal
tender for sums not exceeding five dollars.
But Congress provided, July %, 1876. that
''thc trade dollar shall not hereafter be a legal
tender. and the Secretary of the Treasury Is
hereby authorized 10 limit the coinage thereoi
to such amount as he may deem suIlcleht 10
meet the export demand thereon. IL was
probably by an oversight that the TRADE doi-
lar was originally included in the list of legal
tender coins; but whether so or not, the
Joint resolution of 1876, made necessary by
the fall in the price OF silver. fixes its status
with sufficient definiteness. The trade dollar
is not legal tender for any sum, large or
small
In fact il was never intended to circulate at
home. DIR. I.inderman, late Director of the
L. s. Mint in his report for 1872, recon-
meudcd its coinage for the following reasons !;
The Mexican dollar weighs All l5-l7 grains
and contains 81 II grains of pure silver
The Japanese yen weighs 4l6 grains and con
tains 35i 40 grains of pure silver. The
standard silver dollar of the United States
only weighs 4l2 l-2 grains, and contains
81 Il grains of pure silver, and hence came
in rs a bad third in the Chinese market. Dr
I.indernan thought that somewhat heavier
coin would help us 10 dispose of some of our
surplus silver. Therefore, in order to COM
petc with the Mexican dollar and the japanese
ven. the trade dollar was coined. weighing
I90 grains and containing 37s grains of pure
silver. The project proved success, for
about thirty millions of the trade dollars have
been taken by China, etc, during the last six
wears. while the total coinage of standard
silver dollars from the foundation of the gov
crnmcnt up TO last year was only between
eight and nine millions.
have seen no report Of any action by
Congress regarding the trade dollar since
1876, but if there is any, bring it on. NJ.
