10 the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In an interview published in the Spirit
of the VALLEY on the 18th instant, to which
nv attention has been called, am repre-
sented as having headed posse for the
arrest OF Mr.. Elan while acting rs one OF
Mr.. Belrne's consulting friends. and that l
had an alteration with DR.. Wheat and
gave him notice OF hostile message from
myself, sc.

silent under such imputations. | was not
the friend Of Mr.. Beirnc in the conduct Of
the recent duel. and never consented to
occupv that position. 1t is true that was
at the Junction on the day Of Mr.. Berne's
arrest. but was not there to participate in
apy meeting between Mr.. Elan and HIM
self. to he present at one, or for consultation
or advice concerning one. 1t is not true,
as stated in the Spirit Of the Valley, that

cause the cartel called for the Colt

upon the subject. | was not present at or
a party to any correspondence or contro-
versv concerning pistols at any time or
place. The statement that ! headed mob
or DOSse for the arrest of Mr.. Elan is not
true. but candor compels me TO state that
In the interest OF what i believed to be fair
play did say to an officer OF Hanover that
both parties ought to be arrested, and
pointed him to the house where Mr.. Elan
was. But did this after the arrest OF Mr..
Beirne, without his knowledge, and after L
had heard from friend OF Mr.. Elan, who
| thought was authorized to speak, an an
nouncement which caused me to think
that the affair was at an end, and saw him
depart for Richmond. No one was with
me when | pointed out the house where
Mr.. Elan was save the officer mentioned.
The policeman from Richmond went there
afterwards, but not with me. l had no
quarrel or angry alteration with DR..
Wheat, nor any occasion for one.
Respectfully, GEORGE ID. WISE.

IL Seems incredible. but stranger things

The Trade-Dollar.

The Winchester Times argues in favor
of making the trade-dollars equal TO the
standard silyer-dollar. The Government
ought to redeem the trade-dollars. lndoubt-
edly. For several years after they were
authorized TO be coined they were legal
tender for five dollars. BY the act OF Feb
ruary II. 1873, says the Washington Post,
it was provided THAT the silver coins OF
the United States shall be trade-dollar; a
hali-dollar, or fity-cent piece; quarter
dollar. or twenty-fve-cent piece; dime,
or ten-ceut piece; and said coins shall be
legal tender at their nominal value for any
amount not exceeding five dollars in any
one payment" BY the act Of Congress Of
July %. 1876, il was provided "that the
trade-dolar shall not be hereafter Il legal
tender, and the Secretary OF the Treasury
is hereby authorized to limit from time to
time the coinage thereof TO such an amount
as he may deem sufficient to meet the eX-
port demand for the same" In other
words, il was demOnetiZed.'
How the bill demonetizng the trade
dollar ever became law we know not;
nor what our congressman could have been
thinking about when they passed it. II
was clear case OF reputation so far as
that part Of the law was concerned which
provided that ii should not thereafter be
legal tender. Let everybody that is abb
hold on TO the trade-dollars. We are con
fldent that they viii be redeemed in SOM
way
