Liverpool. to an English Friend.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 5, 1879.
Samuel Smith, Esq:
NV Dear Sir,-Since my arrival in The
United States have had many opportuni.
ties OF discussing the silver question with
intelligent men Of business. and with very
few exceptions ! have found them to be
convinced Of the necessity for the remone'
tization of silver on fixed ratio to gold.
In other words, the almost universal public
opinion amongst businessmen IS in favor OF
bi-metallism.
The apparent unwillingness OF the press
and OF many public men to declare them.
seIyes in favor OF our views bias resulted
be subjected to the stigma fostered by the
English press) OF desiring to pay their debts
IN q deprecated 'metaI-of virtually favor
ing repudiaton-and OF playing into the
hands Of the owners OF silver mines. The
| accusations hurled against the advocates OF
reconciliation in the United States by our
press-partialy reechoed by their own
have largely acted as deterrants. They
b ave conduced to the adoption OF very i'm.
perfect and stilted legislation as to the coin
age Of silver, and have done much harm.
Or late, however, here, as in England, the
public sentiment in favor OF bi-metallism, il
carried into effect by accord amongst the
leading monetary Powers, has grown rap
idy, and men ore not deferred as they were
from ayoEing their opinions. You may
have seen in the news papers that eX-Secye.
tary McCulloch recently avowed himself to
be bi-metalIist in lecture delivered to
Harvard University. pt- p.

After the next, census it vii! make very
little difference whether the South is solid
or not Cincinnati Commercial.
Again we call attention to the fact that
northern politicians expect to defraud the
South out of her proper representation un-
der the next apportlonment. Texas has in
creased in population since the last more
than alItbe New England States together.
Yet a respectable journal assumes that the
South is to lose her relative strength in Con-
gress. Again we say that il the present
Congress does not rtspportion representa-
ton before March 4, 1881, it will deserve to
be execrated by all good Democrats.

Some Of our exchanges fail to draw the
distinction between the rcadiusters and re-
pealers. The State, through its representa-
tiyesi In the last General Assembly, accom-
plishsd readjustment Of the State debt
satisfactory TO the great body OF the Con-
sentative party and to the people. Those
who are dissatisfied are not reSdiusters, but
repealers. They are for repeating the law
by which peace and prosperity are in
part to be restored. Let them no longer,
therefore, be termed readiusters, but re-.
pcalers. The people are for REIMBURSEMENT,
in our Judgment. but not acknowledgements

TO the Editors of the Richmond DaSpotch
Dear sirs,-I notice in your paper Of this
date an allusion to certain certificates" OF
one W. r. wright, editor Of the Grcyson
Clipper, in which you say that 3" Wright is
said to be son of j. p. Wright, formerly
q Radical politician OF Lynchburg." Ionly
wish to say that w. r. Wright is not my
son or relative, and have no acquaintance
with him. J. T. Wright, one Of the editors
Of the HiIlsvflle Virginian, published in
the adjoining county Of Carroll, is my son.
This may have led to the mistake.
AS to your assertion that was formerly
q Radical politician, it may or may not be
correct. 4 sometisaes-agree with the Dis
patch and sometimes. I don't. For the past
two years the Dispatch has seemed much
more Hayes.y than the Press, even il il did
happen, once upon time, that the Press
supported Grant at atime when the Dis.
patch supported Greeley. Ut won't sup.
port Grant any more.) Respectfully yours.
