Mr.. Wise's jury Bill,

In the House of Representatives, Jan. S,
1854, Mr. John S. Wise, of Virginia, intro
duced the following bill:
"a bill to repeal section two Of an act pass
ed June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and
seventy-nine, entitled AN act making ap-
preparations for certain judicial expenses
for the government for the fiscal year end
ed June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and
eighty, and for other purposes
"Be it enacted by HE Senate and House Of
Representatives. of The United States Of inner
lea IN Congress assembled, That section TWO
of an act passed June thirtieth, eighteen
hundred and seventy nine, entitled AN act
making appropriations for certain judicial
expenses for the government for the fiscal
year ended June thirtieth, eighteen hundred
aud eighty, and for other purposes be, and
the same is hereby repealed"
No action was taken on this bill. The
section sought to be repealed provides that
Jurors shall be selected from both parties.
Before its passage United States marshals in
the South had made a practice OF summon
ing for juries republicans only, the majority
of whom, of course, were black. 1t was to
stop this that the section alluded to was en-
acted. Mr.. Wise's bill would have again
put it in the power of the partisan United
States marshas in the South TO constitute
their juries of republicans only. The bill
was introduced months before the last pres
idental election, and at time when Mr..
Wise and his friends doubtless had no idea
that democrat would be elect.

Racing for the Reef CUP.

A contest for the possession of the Bren.
toms Reef challenge cup, offered by Com
modore James Gordon Bennett, and valued at
$500, was commenced yesterday. The
course is from Scotland Lightship to and
around Brenton's Reef Lightship. of New
port harbor, and return, about $50 miles.
The only vessels entered for the race were
the American yacht Dauntless and the
British cutter Genesta. Compared with the
other races, which excited so much interest,
this race seems lonely affair, not single
steamer or sailing yacht being at the
start. At o'clock the signal to start
was given. The Genesta crossed the
line at 5:13 the Dauntless at 5:2S; the Gen
esta being to windward. The Genesta
soon after crossing the line passed the
Dauntless and was fast leaving her. The
yachts were heading eastward. The wind
was very light from south-southwest and
the weather clear, with long swell on the
ocean. When darkness set in tho Gencsta
was nearly two miles ahead Of the Daunt
less. Their progress was not very fast, as
the wind was still very light.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.
AMIssyILLE, Rapp. CO., Va, Sept. Is.

AMIsSyILLE, Rapp. CO., va, OepG. 10.
To the editor fthe Alexandria Gazette:
As an old reader and subscriber Of your
very valuable paper for many years, take
the liberty of imposing upon your time and
patience only with few lines of an inter-
rogatory character. The present standard
silver dollars stand before the country to.
dav rs demonetized, worth eighty five cents
to the dollar in gold, and yet they pass as
circulating medium at 100 cents with gold.
It is alleged that this so-called silver
dollar is INFLATED" to the extent of fifteen
cents-that is, the face value exceeds the
intrinsic value that much On the dollar.
Now, to continue to coin this bad dollar it
would seem to be folly if it threatens evil to
the country; but why not have the silver
dollar worth 100 cents in gold as it used to
be fifty years ago, when we knew no diff
ference? Everything was based on silver
and gold; both were very precious metals
at that day, and every old woman had her
stocking legs full of silver coin of some kind,
and now the cry is we must have suspen-
sion of the silver coinage.
lam a dear lover of the old silver dollar,
and would be pleased to have solution OF
this modern racket on the silver dollar.
Why this demonstration ? Did the act OF
February 18th, 1878 bring about this state
OF affairs? If they are light weight, why
not make them little heavier to ill the
place of olden times? This silver question
is now agitatipg the minds of the people OF
the West greatly. 1t was up before the
last Congress without any action, and it will
surely come up again, as soon as Congress
meets, and am of the opinion that it will
puzzle them again dividd as think Con.
gress will be on that question. Put it on
the same basis with gold, and shove it out.
The farmer can handle it these hard times.

THE URGENT necessity for eliminating
Mahoneism from Virgins, in order that the
State may regain her fair name and again be
attractive to immigration and capital, is so
great that the "men of affairs" of Virginia,
the men largely interested in developing
her resources and advancing her material
prosperity, such men, for instance, as Major
Southerlin, of Danville, have taken off their
coats and gone to work earnestly to effect
the contamination so devoutly desired.
With Mahonesm laid forever, and the color
ed vote dissolved, the people of Virginia
could not only divide politically according
to their political principles, but, the blight
being removed, her natural attractions
could not fail to add largely to her wealth
and population.
