a VALUABLE STREET.

Our principal streets are receiving a top
dressing of rock from the waste dumps TO
put them in order for the coming winter.
Very frequently during the summer pieces
of good ore have been picked out from
among that dumped in the roadway by the
carts. but recently il was evident that
new waste dump had been attacked, as
there was an unusual preponderance OF ore
in the material. It seemed, in fact, to be
nearly all ore. Close examination, how
ever. showed that considerable amount of
what at the first glance seemed good ore
was very base, yet with this base was
mingled much rich black sulphuret orc.
From a lot Of this dumped on c street,
in front of Odd Fellows Hall, we took two
samples. which were crushed up together
and assayed by J. r. Ryan. OF the COnsol-
idated Virginia assay office, with the fol-
lowing result: Gold, Sl64.75; silver, S1eS;
total $50 IS.
This is pretty good waste rock" with
which to fl in the streets We induced a
mill-man of Silver City to examine the
rock that was being dumped from the
street carts. At first he thought IL all base.
out on looklnE more cdreiuily ne began 20
find humps Of genuine black sulpburet ore.
and finally said This is better material
than most of that now being taken out u
the old upper levels. It would pay well for
working"
The assay given above was made after
this. AMI the opinion obtained from the
uillman was founded wholly on what be
saw before him. Il IS said that the rock OF
which We are speaking is obtained az =
waste dump up near The corner Of A and
Carson streets. The rock was probably
irou ht out Of the cid Burning Moscow In
the early DAYS. Miners were not then
good judges Of Gre. Some portions of the
vein having been asssyed and found 20 be
base. it was probably concluded that al
was base. as only a prscticed eve would
note the difference Of grain. whsrg~er The
rock may have been miue8. it Is evident
that it would pay pretty vel 70 overAsul

A New Coiuape.

As il appears that the silver coinage
question will undoubtedly come before
/ the next Congress, | will venture To
give my views on that subject. The
principle objections that are urged
against the present silver coinage are
| its weight in transportation and room
/ it requires in storage. These defects
| think might easily be remedied by a
mixed coinage of gold and silver. Let
the relative value between the two
metals he first ascertained. We will
assume that eighteen parts of silver is
equal tn one part in gold, then make "A
mixture or amalgum of eighteen parts
of silver and two parts of gold in weight,
which, when coined, would make fifty
| four dollars in value, thus reducing the
weight of the present dollar To one
third of its original weight, which
would afford currency sufficiently
| light 10 he carried conveniently about
ones person for all ordinary purposes,
for common travelling or business trans
actions, and sufficiently reduced in
bulk To he capable q. convenient store
age IN treasury vaults, bank safes, etc.
II is supposed that this portion OF gold
mixed with silver would produce "A
color easily distinguished from pure
silver com. but admitting that its color
and size might be deceptive aud cause
its passage for silver coin of relative
size. | would suggest that this ANAL
'um or mixture be coined INTO dollars
five dollars and ten dollars of hexagOu
shape. The quality of a heXagon is
that they might be conveniently placed
together without any vacancy between
them, thus fitting closely aud compactly
without the pressure or abrasion that
would result from round coin. Thus,
IT could he coined, put up, stamped
and labeled at tie mint in boxes of one
hundred. five hundred and one thous-
and dollars, and counted out at the
treasury banks, dc, with almost the
denomination, and without breakage
of packages.
With the adoption of this coinage it
would seem advisable To suspend the
coinage of all silver above half dollars
and of all gold less than twenty dollar
pieces.
| have passed through the old cut
money system of 1872, the flood of in
dependent banks, which followed i'm
mediately afterwards, the old Common
wealth bank Of Kentucky, the conflict
of old Nick Biddle and his u. :. bank
with the State and Independent banks
of his day, and our present system OF
banking and coinage, but | can think
of no better system of coinage than the
mixed coinage recommended above.
| make this communication to the
public for whatever il may be worth

Editor Rerdti:
a rerly To- Suggs is almost unneces-
sarv, as he makes not a single argument
To disprove the history brought up ia
my last communication, but falls back
upon ridicule and imagination, which
form 81 great "a part of his writings.
II would he useless for me tn bring
more proof to establish my position, for
the gentleman does not attempt To re-
flute what has already been introduced.
However. ~ he vainly attempts to set
Goodrich aside, will say that the
quotation from that author regarding
the main points agree with the accounts
given by Ridpath and Frost.
The gentleman speaks of "the tradi-
lional old field school-house" IL il
true that our schools and school-huuses
are not what they should Ice, but they
are in regular succession from James
town, aud Suggs ought to be the last
to make light of them. Ills pen picture
of Schoolhoy Is impressive indeed; it
tends to make the impression that he is
never without surpiy Of gas, IL his
arguments are running short.
Supes should never speak of "garbling
statements To others while il is "A fact
that he picked and copied large por-
tion of his "Jimtown" articles from a
letter of Judge Black, published in the
CDufier-. .IOurnui ia 1850.
The gentleman tries tO enlist public
opinion against me il seems 10y assert
ing that "there j. scarcely "A ten year
old hoy in the land who does not know
and feel that Schoolboy deserves the
sc0rn of an intelligent public" etc.
His heart mus; be failing him, or else
his Virginia chivalry is on the wane
Ii my Democratic friends, and am
glad To say they are many, were of the
Suggs type, | should no doubt he OsIra-
cised, not for any "desplcable attempt
for made none, but because we differ
politically, and Sugge, though he claims
Jeiiersonian Democracy, free speech
aud all that likes To hear but one side:
but due allowance can be made for him
As he is either an entirely new specie or
the last representative Of one that is
now fusslizing. SCHOOLBoY.

County Democratic Committee.

Pursuant 10 call issued some time
ago, the County Democratic Committee
met here Monday evening. A quorum
being present, they proceeded To busi-
hess. Mr.. Il. J. Smith, in neat little
speech, resigned his position as chair
man and member of the committee.
His excuse was that lac is prospective
candidate, therefore his resignation was
accepted. II was then moved that DIR.
Ii. \. Patterson be made chairman.
He declined, on account of his residence
being out OF Hartford, where he thought
the chairman should reside, but acted
AS temporary chairman. Mr.. Smith
recommended Mr.. J. w. Ford as a
member OF the committee, he being
unanimously elected. J. 4. Jackson
then as proxy offered DIR. =. A. Jack
sons resignation, aud recommended
Mr.. NJ. j. Reid, of Rockport The vote
was taken and Mr.. Reid elected. Mr..
Clarence Hardwick then handed in his
resignation on account of his being a
prospective candidate and recommend.
ed DIR. A. B Raird, of Hartford, in his
stead. DIR. Baird was accepted. The
committee then took recess until DIR.
Baird and Mr.. Ford could be sum-
moned. After recess the meeting was
called to order, aud DR. b. n. Patter-
son was made permanent chairman,
aud DIR. A. B. Baird secretary Ii was
moved and seconded that tine commit
tee meet the first Monday in next
month TO set the time for primary con-
vention. 1t is urgent that the COM
mittee should all be present.
The members of the committee now
are DIR. b. n. Patterson, chairman,

An Old Garment.

"Uncle" Neddy Hughes, says our
Adairville reporter, whom everyone
hereabouts knows and esteems, was in
town on Thursday last, wearing the
coat in which he was married forty-six
years ago.
SO boasts the Franklin FdUOrite. But
let us tell you about IA coat, something
on the order of Prince Albert, dark in
color, and does not look threadbare, but
is somewhat faded. The coat we speak
of adorns the back of one of the hands
soonest and best men i'm Southern Ken
tucky. 1t is worn in Hartford, aud
can be seen almost any day. This coat
antedates Mr.. Hughes considerably,
and has been worn almost every day
since il was made. For instance, an
old gentleman came To Hartford the
other day and saw this man with the
ancient coat on. He said, "Well, 1
know that coat, but / don't know the
man. i can remember forty or fifty
years ago, when that very coat was
considered one of the finest things i'm
this country" Some one then told the
old gentleman the owners name. He
said, "Well, declare, If that amt my
old friends son, Prof. -w The crowd
fell back for the two men, and there
was rush and hearty squeeze of
hands. We never knew before that
Prof. IS great grandfather had worn
that coat. We asked for history of
the coat, but it was too lengthy to

the Legislature will put its foot ON
