To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Under the above head you publish q
letter in this mornings Dspatch from
Mr.. II. A. Catlin; and IS he makes a
cut ct seedsmen," ! think it incum-
bent on me to reply.
He writes Of wiregrass, and quotes,
"sll4 worth Of hay sold from seven
eighths Of an acre." and four cut
tings" from another patch. He con-
Pounds two distinct grasses, and treats
them as one-Bsrmuda grass (cy~sdon
daetyloH and wiregrass tagros!is can
isa).
The former grass / do not believe
will stand the winters Of this country
further north than Georgia. The latter
(wifegrass) is very late to start growing
in the spring. and early to cease grow
ing in the fall. 0rchard-grass is now
four inches high, and Lucerue six
inches, while wiregrsss looks at present
as though it was dead, and, as our
farmers well know, will hardly ever.
under favorable circumstances, get large
enough to cut, and is q terrible pest to
cultivated land.
Undoubtedly, those farms which are
destitute OF grass would be greatly i'm
proved il they were set in wiregrass,
which would do well for grazing, but

We regret to see our esteemed iei,
cw-citizen James A. Roosevelt quoted
in the 7mss as calling the city SINKING
fund "sn asset" "Assets" Is not .
plural, but singular noun, being de-
rived from the French asses, which IN
turn is a contraction Of the Latin al
salts. He might as we'll speak of ian
aim " or can cave" because aims
and "eaves " have final "s."-FeT
York Ssss.
The Sun plumbers as usual. AS
setsv Is a plural noun, as every good
dictionary testiGes. And "assets" Is
not only plural noun, but It is correct
10 say "An asset" SToRMoSTH's,
the newest and best Of English die
tionaries, says:
Assets," noun plural. Also, asset,
,oun singular. Old English asseth
Scotch, asyth, compensation, satisfae-
ton"

A Retroactive Amendment.

A Washington letter, dated on We'd
nesday last, has the following remark
able paragraph:
at is understood that the opinion
Attorney General Garland has rendered
in the Lawton case is that the General
is eligible to the position for which the
President nominated him, for the rea-
son that the pardon Of President john
son removed his political disabilities,
but that IL it did not the amendment
imposing them was retroactive and
therefore imperative, and that if Gen
eral Lawton be ineligible hundreds Of
Others arc who have held and now hold
Offices under the Government, including
the Attorney General himself"
Including the Attorney-G General
himself"l If that statement be true,
AFR. GARLAND's opinion will not have
Is much influence as ii would otherwise
have.
But We hardly think 1t can be true.
First, We do not believe that Mr.. GAR.
LAND would have undertaken to pre-
pare . formal opinion to govern the
Presidents action in the case if he had
been himself in the same condition
with General LAwToN. Secondly,
We do not believe that Mr.. GARLAND
ever said that II the third section Of the
fourteenth amendment was retroactive
II ives imperative; for If this were
true, that section Of the amendment,
which was declared in force three years
sfter the war ended, could operate upon
nobody. The amendment operates re.
troActively or not at all. What Mr.,
GARLAND said was that the amend.
msnt could not operate retroactively in
Generi LAwToH's case so a. 10 i'm.
pose disabilities upon him after the
President had pardoned him.

/ II is minated that in running their
line from Petersburg to Richmond the
Virginia and Carolina Company may
adopt the line graded by the Confederate
States Government, which branches of
from the Richmond road = short dis
lance this side Of Swift creek and runs
towards Ettrick. II such be the case
it would necessitate the crossing OF
the river at the western end Of the city.
During the latter months Of the war
the use Of the Richmond and Peters
burg railroad at this end was rendered
dangerous by the proximity of the
Federal batteries on the river, and to
avoid this danger this new line was
projected and graded, and IS still in
good condition. Before it was used,
however, the city was evacuated.
A thunderstorm followed the warm
weather of yesterday, and this was fol-

Michigan.

The result Of the elections in Michi-
gan last Monday has apparently taken
the country by surprise. The victory
gained by the Democratic candidates
for Regents Of the State University and
for Justice Of the Supreme Court is set
down as q victory Of the Democratic
party and it is assumed that there has
been a wonderful change Of opinion in
Michigan since last November, when
Mr.. BLAINE carried that State.
But the fact is that BLAINE's plu-
rality over CLEVELAND in Michigan
was only 3,3Os, although ST. JOHN,
the Prohibition candidate for President,
received over eighteen thousand votes.
In 1884 the Democratic and National
Greenback parties united on Fusion
Electoral ticket in that State. Those
parties are still working together. This
is one Of the causes that produced the
victory Of last Monday. 1t was in one
sense q victory Of the Democratic party.
In another sense, it was victory
gained by uniting with faction that
has nothing in its creed which ought to
commend it to public favor.
We suppose, however, that Judge
COOLEY, q fine lawyer and able judge,
was defeated because the Prohibition
lists endorsed his nomination rather than
for any other reason. The Prohibi-
tionists, as we have said, cast over
eighteen thousand votes in Michigan
last November. This fact shows that
they are strong enough there to call
forth the opposition Of all the voters OPP
posed to sumptuary laws, prohibitory
legislation, and compulsory abstinence
from the use Of intoxicating liquors as
a beverage. The Republicans lost Ohio
in 1883 on the same issue. The north
western States have large number of
voters of foreign birth who never fail
when anything that savors of sumptuary
legislation is called to their attention to
administer to it the blows Of their dis
appreciation.
1t is the party in power that always
loses by these diversions--these local
battles on side issues. The Democrats
lost control of the State government Of
Virginia four years ago by permitting
themselves to be divided upon q LEGAL
issue-the question of standing by the
McCuLLocH bill. The Republicans
have Just been defeated in Michigan on
local issues.
We would have the Democrats of
Virginia to profit by the experience of
their party in Virginia in 1879, and the
experience of the Republican party in
Michigan in 1885. They will lose vir-
GINA next fall as the Republicans have
Just lost Michigan if they permit any
side issues to cause them to separate
themselves into two or moro factions.
t" Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" and q united opposition to
MALONE Of Democratic success in this
State,

Bimetallism.
A Washington telegram says


Representatives Of the European
countries comprising the Latin Union
will meet at Paris on the 18th instant
to consider the subject Of continuing the
Union, which expires by limitation on
January l, 1886. Secretary Bayard
has directed the representatives Of the
United States in the Latin Union coun-
tries to signify to the Governments of
these countries the willingness Of this
Government TO consider the question Of
adjusting and fixing common rate be-
tween tho coinage values Of gold and
silver when European countries are
ready 10 unite, with q view Of securing
the unlimited coinage and legal tender
Of the two metals on = ratio agreed
upon by the several nations. Italy has
already signifed her desire to continue
the Union, and has asked that Germany
be invited to join it,"
We are glad to learn this fact. No
body can tell what would be the result
to the commercial world If European
opposition to bimetallism should lead
the United States Government to adopt
the single standard, and thus cause all
the debts Of the wsnd to be measured
