There Is continued activity in the Lynch
burg tobacco market. hut most OF the offer
ings come by rail, the condition OF the
county roads being such as to make 10 n
tedious business TO travel them with wagons
laden with the weed. Prices for common
grades are dull; but this Is not surprising
when the great quantity OF these grades Is
considered. Fine wrappers and extra dark
leaf show decided activity, and satisfaction
In prices obtained is the almost invariable
rule. The crop yet to be marketed, as
am informed by IN intelligent commission
merchant, l. immense, and il l. thought the
trade will continue brisk throughout the
season.
/ learn this morning that an appeal has
been granted in the case OF John w. Oil
yer. who was tried in the County Court OF
Bedford nj the last term upon the charge
OF instigating two small boys TO set fire TO
the freight and passenger depot OF the
Richmond and Allegheny Railroad Com
pany at Pediar Mills, and. on conviction,
was sentenced TO three years imprisonment
In the pcnitentiary. Counsel for the pris.
oner have had a detective employed on the
case since divers conviction, and it is
claimed that sufficient new evidence has
been adduced to prove that Oliver had no
part i'm the act OF incendiarism. The ap-
peal will be heard before Judge Wingfield
March 1st.
Mr.. W. s. Bradley, who has been en-
ployed at Bristol by the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad Company for number OF
years, is to succeed Mr.. Hanson as ticket
agent at this point, the latter gentleman, rs
previously announced, having accepted the
position of general western agent OF the
Virginia Midland UiCe l.. s. Brown. Esq,
resigned. Messrs. Brown and Hanson are
in Richmond to-day for an interview with
the managers OF the Virginia Midland.
Nothing has ever been done by the Court
of Appeals in the case OF Fayette blcDan-
iel. The negro was convicted in the
County Court OF Amherst Of the murder
Of Creed Carter, respectable planter, and
sentenced to be hanged. The case was
appealed, and the cause OF the delay. I'M
derstand, Is the failure of the defendant to
have the record printed. Mcdaniel is in
Jail at Amherst Courthouse.
Captain Frank Il. Deane, formerly owner

The Silver Question.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

TO the Editor OF TIE Dispatch:
Reading the comments on my commune
cation to your paper in this mornings
issue, l was somewhat surprised that the
main points ] endeayored to make clear
were freely acknowledged. because, admit
ting those points, it il not so easy To see
how the Dispatch comes TO its conclusions.
The Dispatch admits that The time Will
come when silver will drop il the present
rate OF coinage is not stopped, and then
tells Just when the event ought 10 be looked
fer.
1t states further that panic is due to
eauSeless fright, and will not deny that
"capital is desperately timid and sem
sitiye." In does not show, however, that
capital will wait for IN appointed date TO
protect itself, and one need not take les
sons from the New York papers TO learn
that panics come without warning, like Il
thief in the night.
1t did not show that panic is less harm
full because it is due TO caJlSelcss fright.
Lastly. IL dues not show that there is any
necessity for taking all this risk by con-
tinuing TO issue deprecated money. The
people whose fears the Dispatch is allaying
are not the ones who need that kind Of
treatment When the break occurs it will
begin on Wall street, and the people
through the country who have not been
aroused TO the danger will awake some
morning to wonder at the amazing folly Of
capital i'm taking fright without due cause.
The Dispatch kindly offers to "answer
to the satisfaction of anybody who is not
Greeback lunatic any and all questions on
finance" The writer has no pet theory TO
defend, and is only anxious to learn the
truth in the matter, and is as ready TO learn
from the Dispatch as from papers issuing
from greater financial centres than we can
claim our own city to be h'f.

The Springfield (hlass.) Republican JOINS
in the hue and cry recently raised by the
Tribune, Post Nation, and other papers
against "barbarism in the South, and
reads us q lesson on the remedy. 1t has
not the audacity to take up our "prisoD
morals of our people, but makes the num-
Der of southern murders the text Of its
effort to reform and elevate us. We would
be the last to deny that murder is a re-
proach to the civilization Of any people,
but writing from the card as we have 1t
before us, We must decline to admit
the right or the fitness OF the North
to lecture Us until it is more effectually
purged OF its own offences in this respect.
Taking the statistics of murder for 1882, as
prepared by northern paper not ut all
ameRable to suspicion of paftiality toward
the Sonth, we have the following showing
as between the two sections: OF the total
number OF -720-recorded, 800
were committed in the North and go in the
South, Maryland included; of the total num-
Der OF ns-101--recorded, sc took
place in the North and As in the South.
From this 1t would seem that il there is
virtue in the old-fashion idea that hanging
Is the best preventive OF murder, the
balance In the direction Of effort to raise
the standard OF civilization is decidedly
against the Herth; and, it may be added,
especially against Massachusetts,, where
during the year the murders were twenty
seven, the executions none.
