ELATED AT THE CONSENT OF GERMANY TO A
NEW CONFERENCE.

EI,lTED AT THE CONSENT OF GEHAASl ~
NEW CONFERENCE.
A correspondent at Washington says:
The silver men. here are greatly pleased
at the action OF Germany in consenting to
take part in the proposed new conference
on the silver question. An agent OF the
State Department is now i'll Europe to
ascertain the state Of public feeling in the
several leading countries there as to the
likelihood Of a favorable reception OF this
proposition from the United States Govern
ment for another international. conference.
The action OF Germany eliminates so
much from the question that he IS
determining. A change of sentiment
since last year is known to have taken
place in England, while France has an en-
tireIy new Government since the failure OF
the Paris conference. Our agent is Dir.
George Walker. citizen of New York, and
he has given the subject Of bi-metalism a
great deal OF study. Secretary Evarts is at
the same time engaged in the preparation Of
book giving 4 complete history OF the
monetary affairs of the United States, to be
compiled from statistics OF comparative
values from the foundation OF the Govern
ment, derived from papers aud documents
in the Government archives.

,LovINGsToN, NELSON COUNTY. VA.,}
August 8, 1879.
General Asa Rogers, Second Auditor Of Vir-
giniG:
Dear Sir,-The stump speakers and
others who are opposing the REIMBURSEMENT
OF the State debt under the act OF March %,
1879, commonly known as the McCulloch
act, persistently charge that, under the pro-
cess OF refunding, the State pays double in
terest for certain period. For instance :
They allege that the rate OF three per cent.
interest is paid from January l, 1879 (the
date fixed for all the new bonds), to July l,
1870, on the new bonds issued under said
act, and that the rate OF six per cent. inter-
est is paid for same period OF six months on
the old bond, and so on.
TO my mind, this, like many other obiec-
tions urged against the Gebt-settlement, is
clearly without foundation, as the said
act expressly provides against it. But as
this is q matter OF great public interest, and
as you are charged officially with the duty
Of refunding the State debt, will thank
you to address me letter in reply giving
your view. 1t is due to the advocates OF re-
adjustment that the public have authentic
information on the subject. :. ,..
Very respectfully, c. T. SMITH.

IF, however, in any county, district, or
other political division, the ReadIusters are
in the majority and control the machinery
OF the party through its committees ana
conventions. we do not see how they are
going to be kept from sending representa-
lives OF their views to Richmond, who VIII
call themselves Conservatives and be called
Conservat1ves.-Pe Petersburg Appeal.
The Appeal takes singular position for
de5t-payer The Reidiusters can here
after have nothing to do with "the ma
chinery" of the Conservative party. No
true Conservative can hereafter meet with
them in county conventions or district con-
ventions, or even In primary mass-meetlngS.
It will be the bounden duty OF every true
Conservative to refuse to recognize any
Mozarter as a Conservative. II the Ap.
psaPs idea is to be acted upon, then the
State Central Committee might as we'll have
stad at home. They have accomplished no.
thing. The leaders OF the Mozarters
allow none but Mozarters in their meet
ings. Look at your neighbor Sussex.
Mr.. PAUL and his followers held there
last Thursday meeting Of "Read-
iusters ''-nobody else. Oh, no, Mr.. Ap-
peal. You give up the whole contest if you
allow the Mozarters to enter our meetings.
They will thus rule both their own orSani.
cation and ours in every county in which q
majority OF Mozarters could be accidentally
assembled in maSs-meetiug.

gentleman Immediately turned round
and asked the darkey If it was him he
wanted, drawing his pistol at the same
time. The negro kept on and came
within eight feet of the gentleman.
When he saw the pistol in his hand he
halted and made some excuse and hur.
ried of.
