CAPITAL POINTS.

WASHINGTON, November 5.-The issue
of standard dollars for the week ended
Novensb Der Sd was 81 ,499, against ,033, 900
for the corresponding period last year.
J. G. Bancroft has been appointed off
cial reporter of the Supreme Court, ric
Judge Otto, resigned.
| The Chinese Minister'S American-born
baby is a girl, and the little celestial already
has its feet bandaged.
The rumor is current to-day that the va
cancy in the Court of Claims made by the
resignation of ]. G.. Bancroft Davis will be
rendered to Secretary Folger.
Commissioner Vanstroy received an off.
cial letter from Danville, Va, stating that
further trouble was feared. Threats have
been made against the revenue officers.
Sheridan will not be as popular in Wash
| ington as was his predecessor. There is
something of grandeur and big-hearted
ness about Sherman that the pigmy Sheri
dan sadly lacks. The change is especially
regretful to the Southern element at the
capital.
Upton, Second Comptroller of the Cur.
rency, in his annual report suggests a stat
ute for the limitation of war claims. This
he thinks, would effectively prohibit any
claim agent or attorney from presenting
claims, as has heretofore been done, with.
out even an attempt to ascertain whether
meritorious or not.
4 Congressional investigation of Chand
ler's administration OF naval affairs would
not be a surprising thing. Ii is said that
Chandler is scarcely an improvement even
on Robeson. He has been spending mil
lions in the repair OF valueless old hulks
such as the Ossipee, Monongahela, Cyan
Kearsarge and others, and there are Ger.
tain Democratic Congressman who would
like to know how the money has been dis
tributed.
The Incoming Congress will comprise
more rich men than any of its predecessors
Many of these are expected to cut a con.
spicuous social splurge during the winter
season. Among those who will do the
royal thing in the way of dinners, etc., are

The latest news from Virginia is not
very reassuring. Peace now reigns su-
preme, but the signs are not favorable
for its continuance nor for an election
free from riot and boodshed. Let us
hope the COED sense of the white
and negro leaders, and the legal
power of the State will be exerted TO pre-
serve the peace in every part of it. A
conflict OF races in any of the Southern
States just now would be n god-send to

THE Emperor OF Russia has organized a
commission TO prepare a constitution with
a view to the recognition OF some at least
Of the rights OF the people of the great em-
pire. This he has done in spite of the op-
position of the nobility, which in view OF
their determined efforts against the eman-
cipation of the serfs during his fathers
reign, he knows, he can overcome. The
Car doubtless feels that he cannot any
longer war against the spirit Of the age.
Since the serfs were made free a genera
tion OF well-educated, middle class men
and women have come upon the stage Of
life in Russia, and they are making them
selves felt rs great force which, while il
does not actively supplement the Nihilistic
propagandists, eagerly ayaiis itself OF
all that can be gained by the york
of those radical extremists. This
middle class embraces the merchants,
manufacturers, miners, mechanics, bank
ers and active capitalists, men OF
European blood, intelligence and adj
dress, who cannot be kept down to be
the class of which the nobility stands in
dread, because they are intelligent and
are growing powerful by wealth acquired
by labor aud industry. 4 similar class in
England have effected all the reforms ol
the past fifty years, and il is well under
stood that on the shoulders OF the bour
geoisic OF France the present republic rests
In taking this step toward constitutions

that one to which he can confidently looE

They will take whatever comes 20 them o

threatening to resort to shotguns to carry
the election on Tuesday. In this riotous
attempt they met with Indignation from

old Lafayette will roll up tremendous

Mass Meeting at Richmond - Mafioas
Denounced.

RICHMOND, Va, November 5.-An inn
mense mass-meeting of citizens of Rich
mond was held at the First Regiment Ar
mors Sunday evening to express their
sentiments concerning the riot at Danville.
\ preamble setting forth that the conflict
between the races in Danville was the re-
suit of a conspiracy to force the issue upon
the white people by the leaders of the
coalition movement was adopted, together
with the following resolution;
FirSt-That in the conflict which took
place at Danville the white people SYM
pathize freely with their own race.
Second THAT we have the fullest conf
dence in the truthfulness of the address
sent out by the citizens OF Danville, with
whom one or more of us are personally
acquainted.
THird-That whenever this conflict
shall take place IN the State OF Virginia,
all whites are affectionately, earnestly and
solemnly entreated to take the part OF
their own race.
Fourth The history of Virginia up TO
and including the present time shows that
they nave never raised the race issue. The
question was forced on the white men
against their protest and in an offensive
form.
Fylh.-m this particular canvass the
race question: WAS lNfNcQ upon NuCli,
and its irritations planned and sedulously
cultivated by William Malone and his Co
conspirators for their own wicked and sell
fish ends, anSAupon their heads must rest
all responsibility for blood that may be
spilled by men who are driven to the con.
fiict in the best interests Of civilization.
Tke meeting was presided over byCol.
James b. Purcell.
The excitement here the past few DAYS
has been intense, particularly since the
riot in Danville. While acollision between
the whites and blacks in Richmond is moi
very likely, yet the feeling is such that il
will require but slight hostile movement
TO precipitate riot. The whites are max
ing every preparation. Members of the
First Virginia Regiment are under order:
from Mayor Darlington to hold themselve:
in readiness for AN emergency, and l5C
special police are sworn in for duty
tomorrow. In anticipation OF furthei
disturbances in Danville, and upon repre-.
sentations made TO him, Gov. Cameron
this evening issued orders for the Rich
mond Light Infantry Blues, Capt. Andrew
Pizzini, and section Of the Richmon'
