Mr.. Henry's bill just reported in the
House OF Delegates proposes to amend the
sixty.seyentb section of tho charter of the
eity'of Richmond so that by vote OF the
freehoIders OF the city the city may pur-
chase the franchises and1property OF the
James River and Kanawha canal, and issue
bonds of tie city therefor, and that such
issue shall not be embraced IN the aggregate
debt limited 10 eighteen per cent. OF tue as
scssed ,catue OF. The property Of the clty.
We do not mean TO cavil ut the merit OF
the scheme proposed by Mr.. Henry. 1t
may be, to, the. interest Of the city to adopt
his scheme. ,,He is q good lawyer, and must
think that there is no legal objection To; DIS
amen dment of the charter. But can that DC &c
true !? al sa,l:a;,rf, ~ .z..!a .ia. ,-na;'
BY recent legislation the city, has been
compelled to lower her assessments 10 Tie
Grade OF those OF the State, thus causing O
loss in the city, revenue of from 100000 to
$50, 900; and as a, consequence the city debt,
Of about 81, 009, 900, has very nearly reached
the limit OF the, is per cent.,Hi' .t'@3fa !.

The Resumption Candidate.

SECRETARY SHERMAN s SPEECH AT MANS
FIELD ON PROSPERITY AND ELECTION
LAWS.
MANSFIELD, o., May 5.-Secretary Sher-
man this evening was serenaded at his hotel,
when he appeared and made the following
speech:
found when I arrived in my old home
the papers said | came West seeking the
nomination for governor. l cane purely on
private businss, to repair ruined fences and
look after property. As you have serena
ded me Tonight shall! seize the opportunity
Of speaking fully Oh two of the great ques-
tions now discussed throughout the land
They are questions OF vital importance to all
the neutrality-suspicious. Democrats and
Nationals. Two years ago when L had the
pleasure OF speaking to you about resump-
ton OF specie payments, stating If we could
go back to gold then would be the ginning
OF prosperity. Loss following loss, and fail
ure following failure, and gloom generally
prevailed. | believe then If we would 90
back to the ways Of our fathers, and start
afresh on a gold basis, supported by green
backs and national bank notes, pros erity
would again return. 1t became my duty as
an executive officer to carry out this policy.
One year ago had to present to you the
desrablity of the result of resumption. On
the lst day Of January, 1879, this Important
measure was accomplished. Every dollar
you had 10 your pockets became worth dollar
in gold. Since that has b EN- accomplished
come here to ask you the question, are you
not satisfied with the result! to>day man
may travel where he peases. The green back
dollar is as good as any nations on the globe.
What has been tile result Of the policy Of re-
sumption? Many thought, us the day of re-
sumption approached, thatdespondency aud
bankruptcy would follow; whereas, there
has been advancing prosperity throughout
our entire land. AN told that your shops
III Mansfield are again in operation, and it Is
so everywhere. Inc RESULT is, labor is plen-
tiful capital finds secure and safe invest
ment. Why in New York city just the other
day heard of all manner of schemes being
originated by capitalists for the investmenG
OF ca pital that has been idle since the panic.
The public credit is better now than il
the history of the country. Strange to Say
since the first of January there has been
sold 0,0O0, 900 OF per cent. bonds. Now
the rich are not the only bondholders. The
man of modest means can purchase bonds OF
any denomination that he may choose at any
money-order postotfice in the country.
The great question that is now agitating
the public mind is the attempt of your rep
reSentatiVes IN congress TO Tepeal WnaG Is
known as the election laws. These members
of Congress are seeking to repeal the only
laws that in many cities and some states
gave the people full and fair voice. One
of the most sacred duties of Congress is the
preservation Of the purity of elections. The
Secretary then arragned the Democrats in
Congress for endeavorlng to repea: the cleo
ton laws by means OF an appropriation bill
and to coerce the Pre- sident. lie did not ap-
prehend any serious trouble in regard to the
bill
