Especial telegram TO the Dispatcb.1
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, April THE
discussion on the debt question took place
here to-day as prcarranged. Speeches were
made by Mr.. Riddleberger OF Shenandoah,
c. T. Smith Of Nelson, Mr.. Mcmillan OF
Greene, John W. Daniel of Lynchburg.
and John E. Massie OF Albemarle. The
speeches were all good.
Mr. Riddleberger led off. making the mr.
gument Of the extreme resdiusters, which
has become so common to the people OF
Virginia. There was nothing new in it.
except the statement that he had never
voted for funding bill Of any character.
Upon which Mr.. Mcmillan drew docu-
ments to prove that he had voted for a
bill to pay 8, 6, and per cent. This COM
pletely squelched Riddleberger, and the
crowd yelled. His subsequent attempt to
crawl out OF this action was pitable.
Mr.. Smith then addressed the audience in
his usual effective manner, followed by Ma.
ior Daniel, who made very fine speech.
Mr.. Massey made the closing speech, and
it has been conceded by all parties that his
address was able, plausible, and demagogi-
cal.
Major Daniel was subsequently called on
again, but owing to the arrangement OF dis
aussion ca,ild not in courtesy make leuut'
tai.
Judging from the manifestations the
CYLINDERS" were largely in the ascendant.

The decision OF Germany to remonetiZe
silver comes even sooner than we had eX-
pected it. England will follow suit. Then
an international commission will establish
the relations OF gold and silver, and the
great crime OF attempting to destroy half

England and Germany have been made to
suffer, and are still suffering terribly, from
the greed OF their capitalists, as displayed in

verdict had been rendered In the case
against Willis, the Court had empanelled
another jury and had entered upon the trial
OF John Ball, who is indicted for the MUIR
der Of James Moore some time since. which
is very bad case, and when the Ball Jury
made way for the Willis jury TO come in,
and they rendered verdict OF murder in
the first degree. it was apparent that it
affected them very much, and the prisoner
was yisiblY. Dean is still IN Scott-county
Jail under sentence OF death, and Willis,
from the adjoining county, is enough to
strike terror to the hearts OF wrong-doers
on the border.
We have had an extraordinarily cold snap
yesterday and to-day, and all the early fruit
is killed. There was ice one half All inch
thick. Yours truly. On THE BORDER.
