SiIxer Money.

We believe in good money-indestructi-
BILE, genuine, ringing metallic money
BENTON mint drops" so to speak. we
have never countenanced the GreenpacS-
ers, nor had even the least latin IN NAT
money. We have always advocated silver
money. We favored the law remonetizins
silver, and hold that but for that law re-
sumption OF specie-payments would not
have taken place by this time. Indeed
we doubt that the banks or the Gov
eminent would be able to continue 10
redeem their issues in specie TOT year
n the silver law were repeated. MOI
that we thought Congress ought to au'
thorIze the issue OF coins worth less tnan
their face-yalue.
One Of the arguments OF the mono
me,sll,sts always has been that England,
Germany, France, &c. are not bi-metallic
countries. II is therefore pleasing TO us to
find such a paragraph as the following In
the New York Tribune. That paper says :
Every day the evidence grows stronger
that the attitude OF the United States Is
now the principal obstacle to bi-metaliism
in Europe. In an official letter recently
sent TO the Bi-Metallic Association OF New
York from the international Monetary
Standard Association, dated at their rooms,
"a Leadenhail street, London, Il. C., Janu.
ary 2sth, the great progress In England OF
opinions represented by the Association Is
forcibly set forth, and It is shown that Lead
ing statesmen OF both parties are ready TO
give the question fair consideration. The
efforts of the Association "to enlighten
public opinion on the subject" are men,
TONED, and then the letter closes with these
words: .'But the turning point In the
movement is generally supposed here to be
the suspension OF legal-tendec silver coin
age on your side"
European countries, IL thus appears,
have been converted to the doctrine OF BIZ
metalIism, but they are kept from carrying
their ideas into practice by the unwise
course Of the bi-metallists Of this country.
The fact stated shows what change has
come over the dream Of these European
financiers.
III the Tribune is right, Congress cannot
do wiser thing than to attempt to give
more light to these European seekers after
illumination.

WILLIAMSBURG. February %, 1884.
1t seems as il our own beloved friends
the Mahoneites have been again misrepre-
sentlng matters to the colored people. For
several DAYS vague rumors OF this fact
have been floating around, and at last it
became apparent that the colored peo-
ple were greatly excited about some
thing. Upon Investigation it came
to light that the ignorant colored
folks had been led to believe that MIR.
Koiner had offered bill whose object was
to drive the negroes out OF the State and
condemn them to exile. ] am glad to be
able to say that there was a desire eX-
pressed by good many to have the bill
explained as to its real intents. and after q
true explanation had no objection TO make.
Certain ,phite Readjuster office-holders are
at the bottom OF the whole OF 1t, and some
of them hope to be retained in Office by
Democratic votes.
From time 10 time within the past two
years northern parties have visited this
section OF the peninsula and invested in
lands. This was regarded rs an suspicious
sign OF better days, but being oppressed
with the worst OF political tyranny, and
in the midst OF a determined struggle to
free themselves, the people could not give
much attention to the subject OF immigra-
ton or discuss the means best adapted to
secure such beneficial results. With the
downfall OF Mahoneism, however, and the
consequent dawn OF a hopeful future, the
project OF building up the agricultu-
raj interest OF this portion Of the State has
been vigorously pushed, aud that 1t has
reached a practical point is seen by the
following card, which IS posted in various
parts Of the town and county:

Ouaker-Gun Delegates.

We can imagine no gooG reason why
Territories should be allowed representa-
ton in Democratic National Convention.
They cannot cast vote for President OF
the United States. Therefore, It can hardly
be right for themto take part in nomina-
ting the candidate for that Office. The Dis
frict of Columbia also asks to be allowed
representation.
What sort OF delegates would the Terri
tories sendi Not just the right kind, we
fear. The Territories are manipulated too
easily by dividuals-especially by their
Governors and other officials. The people
therein are so much accustomed to looking
to Washington for everything that they do
not always know what is best for them.
True, the present Administration Is Re-
publican, and ought not to have any
thing TO do with selecting delegates to
Democratic National Convention, but we
are not sure that it would not have. Let
that be as Il may, the next Administration is
expected by all good Democrats to be Demo
cratic, and II the expectation is realized
we might four years hence be sorry that
we bad allowed Territories TO be repre-
sented In our National Conventions. Ex-
ecutive influence-W Washington influence
would tell upon the delegates from the
Territories AZ that sort ofsInfuence now
tells upon the negroes Of the South.
We are glad to see that Democratic
club in Washington has asked the priyi-
lege OF sending delegates to Chicago. A
club has, In our opinion, Just as good a
right as Territory to be represented in a
National Convention. Perhaps the alb
surdity OF this clubs request to be permit
ted to send delegates may open the eyes Of
some persons to the absurdity OF having
other Quaker-gun delegates.

The New York World reports as to what
took place on Friday in the National Dem
ocratic Committee, that the Free Trade
members OF the committee were afraid that
the regular call OF the convention would be
turned over to the Executive Committee to
prepare, and to head this off j. STERLING
MORTON, from Nebraska, introduced call
to be issued by the committee which con-
tanned such expressions as the following
"All citizens OF the United States, what
ever their political connections may have
heretofore been, who now hold with the
Democracy Of the Union that taxes con-
additionally should be levied upon the
people only with the intent and result OF
getting money into the National Treasury
with which TO pay the debts and provide
for the common defence and general wei
fare OF the United States. and that these
taxes should be so small as neither to heap
I'D surplus revenue in the Treasury mol
artificialy raise the prices OF the necessa'
ries and comforts of life; that all national
Legislation creating any privileged class,
either under tariff laws OF under patent
laws, or otherwise, is always at the eX'
pense of the people," &C.. &c.

and New Jersey, and the result was the
adoption Of the call published by us yes
terday.

Medical College Of virginia.
The Editor of The DiSDntch:

To the Edit0r OF the DtSpdtch:
We ask for a space in your columns to
put the institution we represent fairly be-
fore the public, and to defend il from the
structures OF DR.. Dabney, OF the Univer-
sity.
The Medical College OF Virginia has
been for thirty years in the same relation
ship TO the State as the University. In
that time the University has regularly
drawn its large annuities to pay its profess
sors, and now has before the Legislature
petitions for an amount going into the
hundred thousands, while this State school
has never received anything save a small
stipend to pay insurance and repairs on
the buildings.
We now ask for the modest sum OF $4,000
additional TO enable lis to keep the Virginia
medical student from Baltimore and other
foreign schools, and our neighbors who
have all these years been enjoying their
ample appropriations. are the first to APP
pear as our antagonists-on these grounds :
First. "Because it would make us free
school, tending to to,Cer the standard OF
education and the morale OF the profession"
II so. the great medical schools OF the
world-such as Paris, Berlin. and Wen
schools where the standard is constantly
going up, because the professor is not de-
pendent on the student, and controls the
course OF study to his own satisfaction.
Secondly. " 1t will overload the ranks OF
the profession in Virginia" Not so. The
medical student is or is not in the electoral
district. II he is not, he cannot come; II
he IS, he will go to the cheapest school-to
Baltimore on free ticket, as he does now.
The bill now in question cannot furnish
more than fifty graduates a year. This
number are graduated now, in and out OF
the State. We want to keep them in the
State.
Third. 1--WE Laderbid the University"
Now, fol thirty years the University has
underbid us, graduating students in nine
months for 800, whilst we require two
sessions Of six months at charge OF $3.50.
But when we fall into the irresistible cur
rent OF free teaching, following In the
wake OF all the greatest medical schools OF
the continent, our neighbors charge us
with breaking up their classes by under.
charging.
But we do not underbid the University
even with free tuition. The student who
stays with us twelve months two ses-
sions), spending at least $3.50, can get the
nine months at the University for the same
amount. II, however, our free school
gluts the profession with its fifty gradu-
ates year, what shall we say OF our good
friend DIR. Dabney's bill just passed the
Legislature. which gives TO three physi-
clans in every congressional district in the
State, the power to license practitioners OF
medicine which does not ask for any
diploma or other evidence OF study; nor
does it prevent the entrance into the ranks
OF the profession Of any OF the irreguars,
whether homeopathic, eclectic, mesmeric,
or what not.
In short, il a country boy stands an ex-
animation on the rudiments. he can be a
doctor, without ever dissecting a subject
or seeing patient. j. b. McCAw,
