The movement In behalf OF the organlzl-
ton OF q Board OF Trade was started under
very favorable auspices last night az tue
meeting OF citizens, embracing all branches
OF business In the community, held al tue
courthouse. There was full, free, ana par
monious discussion Of the subject. and The
opinion was unanimously in favor OF Tue
early establishment OF a board. to tie organ

best men. A committee OF ten was APP
pointed 10 report a constitution and bylaws
for the board-tO make their report on FRI
day night; and like committee was ap-
pointed TO suggest the name OF suitable
person for president Of the board. Nearly
all OF the business firms in the city have
committed themselves to the movement,
and there can be no doubt that, with such
unanimity Of sentiment and harmony OF ac'
ton a Board OF Trade will soon be an
established fact in Petersburg.
The butter-di,h flc.ory-the new indus
try which was started here several weeks
ago under such favorable circumstances
has been forced to suspend operations tenn

terial required for manufacturing pur-
poses. The railroads have recently been 50
overcrowded with freight that they have
been unable to furnish the transportation
for the gum log, used at thi. factory, though
the distance to be hauled is only few miles.
Operations will be resumed as soon as this
difficulty is removed.

TO the bar-not ihathe is falling at all, nor
that he is not the ablest lawyer belonging 10
Ohio. but because IL would not consist with
ms feelings TO begin anew the practice OF
his profession, after having been 50 success
full OH the bench and in the balls OF leg'sla'

THURMAN has signiiied to the President BIS

more generally popular than any other man

men OF all parties.
But It was not simply 10 the selection OF
Mr.. THURMAN that the President made a
decided hit and showed his liberaIlty. Mr..

the International Monetary Commission.
He was one OF The Republican senator's who

Secretary WINDOW
As Mr.. GARFIELD and Mr. BLAINE both
voted TO sustain Mr.. HAYEs's silyer-blll
veto, and Mr.. THURMAN and Mr.. HOWE
voted on the other side, it is evident that
the former are not disposed to set mp agree

was in favor Of the RECOMMENDATION OF Sill

silver dollar should be worth as much as a
gold one in The money markets OF all the

Mr.. EvARTs is a mOnometallist; Mr..
WINDOW and Mr.. THURMAN are bi-meial-
lists. II is evident, therefore, that the
United States will speak in the lnterna-
tional Monetary Commission in favor OF the
continued use Of silver money. Our silver
dollar is more valuable relatively 10 our
gold coins than the silver coins Of France
