Excursion From wheeling, bridgeport
and lleIIaIre Next Saturdny-A PromI.
nent civil Engineers opinion of the
Road and Its Future.
There will be an excursion Of invited
guests from this city, Bridgeport and Bell
are on Saturday next over the Bellaire
and Southwestern narrow gauge, as far as
Armstrong; Mills, the present terminus
Of the road, n distance Of 81 miles, just
half way to Woodsfeld. A special train
will leave Bellaire at 10 o'clock a. NJ, Sat
urday, and go out TO a picnic dinner near
the terminus, where two or three hours
will be spent in social way. Every OPP
portunity will be afforded the excursionists
for inspecting the manner in which the
road is being built, and to this end short
stops will be made between Bellaire and
Armstrong; Mills.
The increase OF trade at Bellaire from
the line OF this road is already quite
noticeable. a train leaves Armstrong's
Mills at eight in the morning, getting TO
lsellaire before ten, making frequent stops
by the way, and going out again at half
past three in the afternoon. 1t lisa mixed
passenger and freight train and carries
wool, tobacco, grain, and all manner of
merchandise, and is great accommoda-
ton to the country people, who canlthus
save time, money, and wear and tear Of
horse flesh and rolling stock by using the
train instead Of the old fashioned method
Of bringing their stuff to market.
The road is doing paying business. Its
estimated running expenses are only 81
per day, and the receipts run from S25 to
$50. On the 4th Of July it carried out
1900 people to Jacobsburg from Bellaire, at
so cents for the round trip. A handsome
days work. There seems to be no doubt
that the road will do a profitable bust
ness when it is finished through to Woods
field by the LIST Of November next.
AS showing what is thought OF the Bell
aire and Southwestern road, and Of the
way it has been built, the amount neces-
sary to complete it, and the value OF it
when completed, We append the follow
ing letter ofChas. p. Manning, OF Balti-
more, Nd, civil engineer OF high stand
ing, who recently personally inspected the
line on behalf Of Eastern capitalists:

WHEELING, July s, 1870.
EdItOn IntGllIEeucOr: $50, ~,
While discussing the financial Ques.
ton undertook 10 prove to my soft
money friend that gold and silver have
intrinsic value. lie, being OF contrary
opinion, did not view the question in the
same light in which viewed i, and
rndeavored 10 convince me that gold can
have no legal tender quality without the
stamp OF tho Government,
know he Is wrong, and In order to con-
vince him Of his mistake thought the
best plan would be to submit the ques'
ton to you, knowing that he will coin
side with YOU In your statement OF the
question, Please explain and oblige one
who believes in fIOSRsr MONEY.
ANSWER.
The question Of our friend is good
deal mixed up. lie seems to confound
the intrinsic value Of gold and silver with
their legal tender value. Intrinsic value
is one thing aud legal tender value is an.
other. Gold and silver have both great
intrinsic value, but neither has any natu.
raj or absolute legal tender value. Their
legal tender quality is impaired by law,
and differs among the different nations.
There Is no necessary connection between
the one value and the other, although tie
intrinsic value OF gold and silver in the
arts is the basis OF their money value.
The value OF bar OF pure gold is
greater than the same weight OF gold
dollars, because the one is pure and the
other only nine'tenths pure, but as legal
tender for the payment Of debt the latter
has quality OF value not possessed by
the former. LegattCnder value is therefore
an artificial value, impaired by law,
while intrinsic value is the natural value
that these metals have outside Of their
uses as money. These natural values are
due to their manifold uses in the arts
whereby their are in constant demand,
and to supply this demand gold and silver
coin is frequently melted into bullion
while their legal tender value is due Ia
their estimate for money purposes at any
particular time by any particular nation

Loud complaints are made 10y the South
rrn newspapers because the New York
Tr,J,ot cites tho murders in Kemper and
Yazoo as sample eases Of Solid Southern
political intolerance. They declare vehem-
antly that all Southerners are not murder
ers. The Tribune replies: " Nobody has
said they are ; but they cannot deny that
they are really defenders of murderers when
they decline to take any steps to bring
them to justice. What is the public
sentiment of the South on the Chisholm yer.
dict? Not II man nora newspaper has had
the disposition or the courage to say aword
against it, but there have been plenty Of
both to pronounce it just. Has there been
any Southern demand for justice to the
murderer Of Dixon? Perhaps two or three
newspapers have mildly censured Barks,
dale, but who has demanded his punish.

political murder, Just SC long will it DO held

place of business, and especially every
drinking saloon, WAS closed and the streets
