Unfted We Stand.

Study we never so deeply, the tariff Is
only the tariff, whereas the Radical party
is the aggregation OF all that is politically
mean, that is politically rancorous, that is
politically corrupt.
why, therefore, should Henri Waiter
son and the Charleston Ne,oS and Courier
lose sight of the present probabilities OF
life. and gently glide into the doctrindire
phase Of political Journalism
Everybody wants to reform the tariff;
but, gentlemen, we want to get rid OF the
Radical party first, and it is easier to get
rid OF them on the issues OF the day rather
than to try them on an NOTWITHSTANDING
issue In which they have the dd cdptdndunl
argument at every turn.
Keep the Democratic party united against
Radicalism, tariff or no tariff, until the Rad
zeal party is beaten out OF its boots. Then
let rs settle the question among ourselves.
Look at the wisdom OF the Radicals
while we are gently squabbling among
ourselves as TO reform in the tariff, and
while, perhaps, we are sowing the seeds OF
dissension the Radical investigating CON-
mittees appointed by the Radical Senate
are coming South in order to CLEAN the ma
terial for the most lurid Of southern out.
RACES.
While we are preparing to divide on
the tariff issue the Radicals are devising
means to more efiectually solidify the North
against US.
Let us have done with our folly, and
maintain an unbroken Misunderstanding

February IL. 1884. y

TO the Editcr Of The Dsspdfch
Dear sir,--It Seems to me you are In
error when you say tina. sup to 1851 the
Governor selected three citizens IN each
county, who appointed the election officers
for ali except the courthouse precinct.
BY reference 20 the Code Of 1860 lpage ~.
chapter Z, sections @, z, and 81 1 think you
will lind that the commissioners were ap.
pointed by the Governor only In cases OF
elections for President and Vice-President
OF the United States, and there was no ex-
ception made therein In regard to court
house precincts, and that in all other gene
raj elections the commissioners were APP
pointed by the court Of each county. i
may be wrong IN this, and write for IN
formation and TO get your views on the
subject.
1. We alluded to the matter only TO show
that 1t was not new thing to have cleo
ton officers selected at the seat OF govern
ment; and. therefore. did not deem 1t ne
necessary TO say 1t was done up to 1861
only In presidential elections.
2. We excepted the courthouse precinct
because the Governors appoiniees held
the elections at that voting-place. Oh course
therefore, they did not appoint commission
ers for It. Read what we said as you quote
it above.

1n the Eaitor Of the Dispatch /:


AS the semi.amnual examinations OF The
public schools are now 10 progress wish
10 call attention to an existing rule which
is an evil, in my judgment, and one calcii-
lated to do very great harm. The scholars
are required 10 say upon honor that they
have neither received nor given assistance
in the Rotations. This is equivalent to
Offering premium for lying, and gives an
immense advantage to lazy and deceitfui
scholars over all others. But besides the
immediate effect OF permitting the advance
OF scholars who are not proficient, 1t has a
tendency to iniure the character OF the
children permanently. The strain upon
their moral sense Is too great, and they
find at their early age an advantage in dis.
honesty which will in all probability affect
their principles for life.
These examinations are a poor test OF
at best, but when accompanied
by such evils as 1 have described, 1t is
very serious question whether 1t would
not be better to do away with them
and make the average standing
the session the measure for
promotion.
hope this matter will receive considera-
ton from the gentlemen In charge, who |
am sure have no desire but the general
good. w.
In our opinion, Nv" is unquestion-
ably right in saying that "these eXalnina-
tions are poor test OF proficiency"

The Morrison Tariff Bill.

On Monday Mr.. Morrison reported his
tariff bill in Congress. The list Of articles
1t puts ON the free list will too severely az
feet the prosperity of Virginia to receive
the vote Of Der representatives in Con-
gress. Iron ore, copper ore, coal, ocbre,
lumber, sienna, all earths and clays, are put
on the free list to be imported without duty
when Virginia Is full OF them and is look
ing to them for much of her prosperity.
To the county OF Augusta, for example,
where all these things are mined and
shipped such bin would be peculiarly OBJ
noxiOus.
Oh defeat the bill, abolish the internal
revenue tax, put it on protection, and be
done with it l-Stdunt0n indicator.

To the Editor OF the DISPATCH:

The bill offered by Mr.. Pollard, OF King
and Queen, to prohibit active participa-
ton in politics by certain officers under the
State government" greatly commends it
self TO public favor. Now is time to press
such measure, while the Democratic par
ty is shaping the future destinies Of Vir-
ginia. One OF the issues passed upon and
condemned by our great popular majority
Of nearly 5000 was the conduct Of judges
leaving the bench to make speeches for
Malone, or going upon the bench with
the slime and mire Of the hastings upon
the ermine disgraced and spotted by their
behavior. Who can forget the wanderings
OF certain basement officers who spouted
for Malone like political hydraulic rams
from one end OF Virginia TO the other?
Let us have no more OF it. A.

The National Banks.

The opponents OF the present national
banking system must be discouraged when
they read the debates in Congress upon
any subject connected with the finances
of the country, and find Democrats and
Republicans yieing with one another in
expressing their high opinion OF the merits
of the existing banking system, and par
ticularly Of the manner in which the cur
rency Of this country is made the best in
the world.
I In the United states Senate on Wednes-
day Mr.. BAyARD argued the necessity for
some action that will induce the banks TO
buy other bonds, instead OF giving up
their circulation when their 0 per cents
are called. He has no idea OF substituting
Govern ment currency, nor a State-banll
currency. He said that permanency, sta
bility, certainty, were the great essentials
OF sound currency. He for one did not
desire TO see the currency OF the country,
a thing OF such profound Importance to
every transaction, great and small, in any
degree under the finger and thumb Of any
official, however respectable or high in
place.
So much for leading Democratic aspi-
rant to the presidency OF the United States.
Now, let us hear a leading Republican
aspirant TO the same Office. We get our
information from the Washington Posts
report. Mr.. SHERMAN paid glowing eulo-
" TO the banking system OF the country,
which, he thinks, will be permanent. He
did moi. undertake to say how the banks
would be continued when all the bonds
were paid, but he felt sure that the states
man OF that coming time would be able to
meet the emergency. I" lie spoke Of our
banking system as the best ever devised on
earth" And nobody SAID him, "nay."
Nh. MCPHERSON, of New Jersey, DEM
oeratl said:
"IE was the best possible currency at
tainalble at the present time. 1t was the
most absolutely secure paper currency that
had cher existed; for since the organiza-
ton on the national banks.not dollar OF
their ejaculation had been discredited."
Think ,pf that. Not a dollar discredited
in twenty years. How well do we remem-
Der whenlbanks were constantly breaking,
and their notes rendered worthless. We
once saw a conductor on the southside
railroad fas it then wasl refuse to take
Wheeling bank-note from G. p. r. JAMES,
Esq, the distinguished novelist, who was
then the British consul in this city, and
who remarked that in passing from one
state fnto another In this country he was
constantly being shaved. The bank.note
that was refused in Farmyilie was the
yers one that was demanded Of him in
Wheeling.
Mr.. McPBERsoS also said that owing to
The success Of the national-bank system the
continuance Of It's existence 10 period at
least eosqual with the existence Of the
bonds seemed to be welisettled conyic-
lion on the part both Of Congress and the
people. That Is Just our understanding Of
the matter. The PEOPLE are determined
never to sutier again from wildcat cur
reacy II they can help IL. Grcenbackism
IL dead and buried. So also Il! any scheme
that proposes to provide currency which
win not pass everywhere In the Union. |

The tariff has subsidized already, so far as
Virginia Is concerned, into a secondary
consideration. The people of the State are
painfully aroused to the fact that there Will
be no domestic peace for them until the
powers and the patronage OF the Admins

dating the negro vote. This will never
happen until the Democrats elect Presi-

Speaker Stuart in the chair.
The discussion OF the railroad bill was
resumed. 1t was further amended and
finally ordered to its ngrossment-ayes,
"a; noes, 0.
The second special order, which was the
general tax bill, was taken up at 1886 to be
read for a second time.
Mr.. Duff Green called for the reading Of
the bill.
At9:4O O'Clock Mr.. Gibson moved that
committee OF one be appointed to take Mr..
Green ont into the lobby and there read
! the bill to him.
The Chair (Nr. Ellis) declared the mo-
ton out OF order.
"Then move that the Clerk take seat
by 1Ir. Green and read the bill privately to
him." said Mr.. Gibson.
This. also, was ruled out by the Chair.
Mr.. Green appealed for order, saying he
wanted 10 hear the bill read.
81 would like to ask the gentleman"
said Mr.. Opie, "why it is he does not keep
awaken"
Repeatedly during the reading the hum
OF talk was so loud that the Clerks voice
fcould not be heard.
Mr.. Ellis, very gracefully and in court
eous and well-timed language, begged the
| House TO maintain order. Occasionally
MIR. Green asked the protection OF the
| Chair, and each time the Chair (Mr.
Ellis) did all in his power to keep order,
but il was more than mortal flesh could en-
dure. and on all sides, regardless OF party,
the talk went on.
One or two Coalitionists kept open be-
fore them bin, and followed the reader,
for fear, they said, that he would skip
| pages. =,
Again, during the reading. Mr.. Gibson
moved that some days leave OF absence
be granted the gentleman from Stafford"
| Near the close OF the reading Coalition
lists moved to dispense with the further
reading. and Democrats insisted, there be-
ing only one page 10 be read.
II Is Just to Mr.. Green TO say that ne Is
totally blind. not having been able to read

the bill read.

eide his own case"
Mr.. Stuart said there were about ninety
members Of the House present at the time
that he made the announcement OF the
committees, including Messrs. Herring and
Harnsberger, who know that this statement
is q wilful, a deliberate, and a malicious
falsehood. DIR. Lawson was never on the
Committee on Privileges and Elections.
On the 9Th OF December he appointed
Messrs. Evans, Smith, Opie, Luttrell, Mar
shall, Curtis, Camper, Trigg, Chapman,
Lakewood, White, McLin. and Harris the
committee. They were then, and are now,
the committee; and the charge that DR..
Lawson was ever on the committee at all
was a deliberate falsehood, manufactured
out of the whole cloth. How Messrs.
Harnsberger and Herring, who sat here In
this House and who appeared as suitOts
before that committee, could. calling them
selves men. sign such paper, was more
than he could see.
Mr.. Harris said. In behalf Of the Coali-
ton party. it was due to say that DIR. Law
son was never on the committee, and that
the charge that he was did the Speaker OF
the House great injustice.
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. Duff Green arose TO a question OF
personal privilege, and, with the consent
of the House, sent to the Clerks desk and
had read, as part of his remarks, letter
from +. s. Blair, Acknowledgement, in
which the writer, referring to a report in
the press that he had asked to be excused
from taking part in the prosecution OF
John Il. Hamilton and s. Brown Allen,
said that the statement was not Just to
himself; that he was ready when he APP
peared before the committee, and was now
as ready as heretofore, to discharge his
duty at all times. =.
Mir. Cardwell said he asked Mr.. Green II
he knew that Mr. Blair had asked to be
excused. Mr.. CardweIi remarked that Q
member OF the committee had informed
him that Mr. Blair had made this state
ment. and he had asked Mr. Green IN order
to find out whether or not he had heard
Mr.. Blair express himself on the subject.
