"The American Dollar.

We are indebted to the author. ] t;dge r.
W. Hughes, of Norfolk, Virginia, for. a
pamphlet copy of so pages of an exhaus-
tive treatise on the american Dollar. It
is an able, learned and convincing defence
of the .Amerlcan Dollar. and contains a
vast amount of Information on the subject
of metal currency and the relative value
of silver and gold. which has never be
fore been grouped together for the Ameri-
can reader. The research O. the author for
information on question which will large
~ engage the attention Of the next Con-
the result as embraced in the paper be-
fore us will be of much value to our law
makers and all others who may wish to be-
come acquainted with a question Of such
great Importance. The hasty glance we
have given the work has impaired much
information Of which we were ignorant
and confirmed our opinion as to the proper
policy to be adopted in dealing with the
silver coinage. Mr.. Sherman has in strong
terms. demanded that a bimetalic stan
dard De adopted by this country, which
will equalize the intrinsic value Of the
gold and silver. dollar. and thus give the
business of the country solid basis for
its operations. Judge Hughes shows tie
motives which govern the creditor ma
tions in making gold the lelegal tender
money. and the reasons which influenced
the debtor Nations in ado;tinp he
bimetalic. He argues that gold and silver
are the true money of the world--the gift
of Nature-and that the true policy of
this country is to give them equal recogni-
ton.
Thepamphlet is interestingand instfue-
tive, and should be in the hands Of every
one who desires to reach-a correct concln-
sion on this important and practical sub
ject

Elections IN Other States.

On Tuesday Elections were held in
eleven States. National interest eentered
in New York and Virginia. In New York
Governor and other State officers. FIVE
justices of the Supreme Court and both
branches of the legislature. The indica-
tions last night were that Hill, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, had been
elected by from 10000 to l4.000 majority,
and the rest of Democratic ticket goes in.
This result was a surprise as it was conf

for the Republicans. The Mugwumps,
however, seem to have proven source of

The Result in the County,

The election in Staunton and Augusta
county passed off quietly, with nothing to
excite the temper or exasperate the feel
ings of any one SO far as we know in the
casting and counting Of the ballots. The
officers appointed to conduct the election,
so far as we know, discharged with scru-
pulous fidelity the duties to which they
had been assigned. We have heard of no
complaint of nnfairness, or attempted un-
fairness at the polls. We congratulate
our people upon the reciprocal spirit of
fairness manifested. the order preserved
and the absence of all bitter contentious
and br0ilsome disposition.
In the city there were methods resorted
to to control the negro vote, which we
think will be as much regretted hereafter
by the instigat0rs and agents of it as any
one. We learn room was rented, or &C.
cupied, where liquors, cigars eatables, &c.,
were kept, and where colored voters were
brought to partake of the hospitality thus
offered, to influence their votes. How
many were thus captured we do not know.
In other, portions of the county colored
voters were paid to remain away from the
polls. and some induced to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket by means it is not difficult
| to understand.
The Republicans made gallant fight in
this county-contesting every inch of
ground, under adverse circumstances
They have reduced the Democratic ma
jority 100 on the State ticket, as compared
with last years vote, and the majority on
the legislative ticket about 500. Instead
of the / 400 or 1900 confidently claimed,
Lee gets about 1000 majority ; and the
highest vote on the legislative ticket is
something over 900. Everything consid-
cred. the result in the county attests the
courage and devotion to a great cause Of
the Republicans of Augusta.
Hereafter it will be travestry upon truth
for our Democratic friends to charge
'.nigger party upon the Republicans. To
them must be awarded the honor of re-
sorting to every device, both fair and foul,
to capture the negro vote, and in this res
pect they have succeeded beyond their own
expectation. May they enjoy their victory
in this respect, and lay to heart the means
by which it has been secured

A dispatch from Tobaso, Mexico, Oct.
81, says: Juan Vicente Palayicipa was
travelling with his wife and child to his
hacienda. On the way . bandit, Manual
Padron came out on horseback and tried
to carry off the wife OF Palayicini. A fight
took place between the two men aud Pa
dron was killed. After the farmer had
left his family at the Hacienda he returned
toward the town Of Lespa to advise the
authorities of what he had done. On his
return he was captured by a brother of the
dead bandit assisted by three desperadoes.
They took Palavicinl off his horse. strip
ping off his stockings, llayed the soles Of
his feet and then made him walk witt the
raw flesh nearly il mile. They then cat
off his ears and wrists, in which condition
he was obliged to walk some mos They
then took out his eyes aal dashed him to
make him run. Finally they dragged him
at the head of their saddles. then tore him
in two. The perpetrators OF the terrible
outrage escaped.
