Mr.. BAILEY supposes the penitentiary-
spring lot to be worth seo'ooo. II SO, the
State !, paying $4,000 q year for keeping
it-that is, in the shape Of interest.
Again: There is no dispute as to the
title to more than one-sixteenth part Of the
property. one thirty-ioot lot on Cary
street, we think 1t is, is claimed by the heirs
of person who in his lifetime bought u
tax-title to it. That Is all that Is In the way,
so far as we ever heard.
We ought to add that the whole property
would probably sell for s2o,oOo--that Is
800 feet Of ground ESQ on Main and $50 on
Cary at an average Of $40 per foot. But
even on that sum the interest Is $1,000 a
year, besides $500 year which the State
would get in the way of taxes. Two thou
sand dollars year is q pretty high rent to
pay for such quarters. we forgot tue cost
OF repairs.

The Norfolk Ledger, commenting upon
a little paragraph which appeared in our
columns last week, counsels forbearance,
claims that National Convention, or at
the very least State Convention, is the
only body authorized TO make party plat
forms, and adds
Especially Is this true when we remember that
there are many other nsideraiiOns which induce
the Dispatch and the Public Ledger to support
the Democratic party. When we have reformed
the Government; when we have turned the rss-
clls out, now in office; when we have cut down
the Federal expenses and placed The Administra-
ton Of the Government IN honest hands: when
we have. abolished fraud ana corruption, then IT
will be time enough 10 indulge III quarfelliDg
Until then there is plenty of room for all honest
men IN our party. and We would greatly prefer re-
celying recruits to drumming out true and tried
men for a difference Of opinion ON questions thai
must aud will be settled by the National Demo
cratic Convention.

We have been triumphantly defeating
the Republican candidate for the presi-
dency" for about twenty-five years last
past by the methods preferred by the Fred
cricSsburg Star and Norfolk LedJer.-
Huntington advertiser.
On the contrary, the Democratic plat
form OF 1876 and that of 1880 both declared
for ga tariff for revenue only" We do
not ourselves believe that the Democrats
OF any southern State cared a button for
what the platform of either OF those years
said, being forced by desire for self-pre-
servation to support the party opposed to
the party that had wronged them in thou
sand ways; but nevertheless the point is
good as against the advertiser and all other
papers that want to make the fight this year
for "a tariff for revenue only"

TIE STARTLING DISCOVERY OF A Sent
NEAR WHEELING, ". VA.

TIE STARTLING DISCOVERY OF A SEXTON
NEAR WHEELING, W. VA.
A Wheeling (W. Va special OF Sunday
SAYS: This city was thrown into great cX-
element to-day by the fact being made
public that on Thursday night or Friday
morning a desperate attempt had been
made by a Quartette OF body-snatchers TO
res,Irrect and carry off the remains OF
Right Rev. II. V. Whelin. late Catholic
bishop OF this diocese. Bishop Whelan
died in July, 1874. and his remains were
placed in massive vault i'll Mount Cal
vary cemetery, three miles east OF
here. over the vault was erected a
handsome and costly memorial chapel by
the members OF the diocese. II Is thought
that the removal OF the remains was actll-
ated by the idea that it would be good
speculation. and that large reward would
nj once be offered for the return OF the
collins and contents, as well rs by common
report that several thousand dollars worth
OF Jewels, etc., were contained in the caSkel
and vault.
The outer doors OF the chapel were
forced open with jimmy, and work was
Systematically begun. The large Inscribed
marble slab inserted in the floor over the
vault was broken and removed, but The
heavy stone archway resisted all efforts to
penetrate it.
The snatchers then proceeded to dig
through one corner OF the room, and, tear
ing up the floor. descended into the cellar
to attack the vault from one side. a hole
about five feet long by two in height was
eXcayated i'm the stone-work. but the wal
was too thick to enable the robbers to pen
citrate it before DAYLIGHT. SO they ceased
work. intending to complete the job the
following night. and trusting to the fact
that the chapel was seldom or never visited
at this season.
The sexton, however, Glanced to VlsIl
the building Friday afternoon, and, dis
covering the work Of the ghouls. ut once
gave the alarm. Bishop Kahn was noti-
fed. but decided not to give the matter
publicity and placed squad Of men, armed
with rifles, around the building in the hope
OF capturing the thieves. The latter, how
ever, failed to put in an appearance again
and to-day the attempted desecratlon wa
| given to the press. Bishop Kahn said TO-
day that there was no yaluables in the vault
except gold cross and ring on the Bish
! ops right hand. There is good ground
for the suspicion that men from Chicago
were concerned in the affair.

N. w. FLOYD, Esq, has sold ont the
Franklin county Gazette to G. 5. DAVIS,
Esq, who will keep that excellent journal
in the right path. Here is one OF his first
outgivings:
1t is evident that while The Democratic
party in Congress expect Virginia and the
South to stand firm and give them victory
in the day of battle, they intend lis no relief
IN the way OF internal revenue reform.
But we OF the South demand that the
excessive burdens imposed on us In the
way of unjust taxes upon our staple pro-
ducts shall be removed. and this demand
must he needed. II may seem smart in
the tariff reformers to taunt lis with
clamOring for cheap whiskey, but like Ban
quo's ghost, the southern people will not
down.
The Ways and Means Committee may
tinker the tariff and do nothing to remove
the infamous internal-revenue laws, but a
day OF reckoning for the South will come.
The warning may be disrcgarded for the
present, but it will very likely cost the
party Virginia rs well as other Democratic
States in the next campaign.
To the Democracy OF Franklin county
and the region roundabout is the party in
debted in no small measure for the popular
majority OF seventeen thousand in the re-
cent State elections.

Ohio and Virginia have been heard from.
The Democratic Legislature OF Virginia
responds to the free trade pronunciamento
from Washington by adopting resolutions
demanding the abolition OF the whole in
ternal-revenue system, and the Democratic
Legislature of Ohio elects United States
senator ayowedy opposed to the "reve-
nue-onlyD policy. Now the free trade
managers OF the new sectional Democratic
party may read the Democrats OF Ohio and
Virginia out OF the party ii they desire,
but they may probably discover in the
course Of human events that the tail cannot
WAC the dog.-NaShuiIe american.

Inconsistency, thOu ART q Jewell
The Dispatch, which seems to feel called
upon all occasions to champion the national
bank system, should he more consistent in
its reasoning, or rather more careful in It's
statements, or il will yet let the masses see
the truth; that Is, that the much-lauded
national bank currency is nothing but fiat
money and not one whit better than green
backs, and. in fact. is greenbdck fiat money
issued for the benefit or privileged class
instead of greenback fiat money issued for
the public good.
Let it first be understood that fiat money
must be used by the ciriized lrortd. because
there is not enough OF the precious metals
in possession Of the ,oorld 10 furnish coin
money for tie ,cortd'S need Of circulating
medium.
Then, II we use fiat money, give us the
best. We will let the Dispatch state
which Is the best by the following clipping,
which Is taken from the paper of the 18th
instant:
With tire exception OF some of the Pacific .coas
banks, nat.onal-bank notes are not now, and never
were, redeemabe in specie of any kind, not even
| the dollar OF thc daddies," nor have they an!
better redemption basis than ID afforded by theii
controyertibility into the despised greenbacks.-
| National Sentry.
true: but the grecnbackS are redeemable IN
gold, aud tho bank ioles in greenbacks thus In,
/ bank-i otcs are made rs good as gold. and pas
everywhere: for nobody would take the trouble I,
exchange bank-nO;es for grcenbacks unless IL wa
! someDody who needed gold. IL Is enough for tn
/ average man to know that be could IL II were ne
| cessary 70 exchange his bank-notes for greenback
and then exchange tie grtcnbacks for gold.
The Dispatch states the case accurately
in the above clipping, so il shows tha
greenback fiat money is the best.
Greentacks are undeniably the cheapest
since by the substitution Of grcenbacks fol
national bank currency we save the into
rest now paid on the three hundred ant
| fifty millions Of bonds kept In existence a
the basis OF the national bank currency
which shows them the national banl
notes. to be greenbackg under anothe
name.
The Dispatch does not agree with me
but hope II will publish my views.

heretofore, why national bank-notes ar

backs that are redecmable In gold.
