Tho SiIIor Question.

RICHMOND, VA, March :, lss6.
10 the Editor Of he Dispatch:
send you the inclosed, thinking you
might probably use some Of it in your
effort to educate the people uPto bimet-
allism, in which take a most lively
interest. There could be but one pos
sible excuse for the demonstration Of
silver by the United Ststes-yiz., that
it would make England (9nd probably
Germany come to bimetallism that
much sooner. Bad East-India trade is
already making English people think on
the, subject, and but for the temporary
IeiiCf given to silver by our partial re-
monetlzation Of that metal some years
ago. the strain would have been so great
that the chances are we would before this
have seen England on her knees beg
ging the United States and Germany 10
unite in fully remonetizing silver.
What English statesmen ar thinking
Of to oppose and depress silver is diff
cult Of explanation when it is recalled
that her trade with silyer-currency
countries is greater probably than that
Of all other nations combined. Ger
tainly these statesmen are not alive to,
or 10 not learn from, current e7ents.
Possibly the answer that Mr.. Grenfell
SAYS be received from Mr.. Childers will
apply TO many Of the others lie "had
studied political economy twenty years
ago. ard declined to begin again"
believe there is no one thing that
would bring such great relief and
alleviate, if not end, the dull, hard
times" universally complained OF as
the full reconciliation of silver by
England, Germany, and the United
States. OF course we all understand
why the creditor class Of our country
generally oppose silver reconciliation,
but we Of the South, and TO a less ex-
tent the West, belong to the debtor
class. and should look at it from our
standpoint.
Begging you to excuse the length of
this when had purpOsed but few
lines to enclose this article, and hoping
you will ind some Of the enclosed Of
service, | remain most truly.
s. b. CRENsIIAW.
We return thanks, and shall try to
ind room for at least part Of the
article.

This Sergius Sulpicius Galba, son Of
SeIgias. must have been the same who
was consul in the year IA 3. c., to-
cether with L. AuFelius Gotta, and
grandfather Of the Sulpicios Galba who
was sent by Caesar al the opening Of
the Gallic campaign IN 5, Il. G.. against
the Nantuates, the Neragri, and the
Seduni, and who was great-gTandfather
to the Emperor Galba. Sergius, who
was eventually the occupant Of this
mo.lment, (which, judging FROM its
materials and style Of construc-
ton alone, might be attributed to a
still carlier date, and which, accord
ing 10 the last line Of the inscrip-
ton, occupied space measuring thirty
square feet received Spain as his pro-
vince during his pratorship in Isl b.
c.. and committed unheard-of atrOci-
ties against the Lusitanians. He was
wealthy and niggardly, except when
bribery and corruption required an open
hand; but on the other side his mem
ory is distinguished by the high praise
which Cicero bestowed on his talent as
a speaker, in calling him the first among
the Romans whose oratory was what it
should be. He was still living in the
year 1873 Il. c.. when he spoke for the
publicsni, bat that is The last record
we have Of him.
II is curious that within little more
than twelve months two sepulchres
should have been found, distant from
each other at the extremities Of d.
seonal line drawn across the city, each

in perfect state Of preservation, with
inscriptions illustrating the times Of
one Of the least interesting Of the first
twelve C@sars--namely, the unfortu-
nate Piso, adopted by Galba IS his sue
cessor, to be slaughtered with him on
the forum few days afterwsrd, aud
afterward this tomb OF an ancestor
who lived ard made the forum ring
with his oratory two hundred years be-
fore. Further. each OF these was dis.
covered accidentally, and each ct
depth far below the modern level. l
believe it is the intention Of the srcheo-
logical authorities to have the stones OF
this tomb now discovered carefully
taken down, numbered, and removed
before the sewer is built, that it may
he regretted and preserved in one Of
he piazzas Of new quarter rising in this
locality.
J may add that in the course Of the
building operations in progress near the
pot where this discovery has been
made an ancient road, with the blocks
Of its basalt pavement in stu, was laid
here. Along this, no doubt, rolled
Re incessant traffic between the city
md the Emporium and the great ware
houses and granaries situated in the
district. Among the other remains Of
the buildings Of twenty centuries ago

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct 27.--The Adams ex-
press car attached to passenger train No. 3
on the st Louis q San Francisco railroad
which left this city at S:25 Monday night
was robbed of over $50,000 in cash between
here and Pacific, Mo. 1t seems that before
the train left this city a man giving thelname
Of Cummings presented letters to the express
messenger, Mr. rockingham, purporting to
be signed by the officers of the company,
stating that Cummings was about to take a
run on the line, end asking rockingham to
give him the points.
W hen near Meremac the stranger over
powered the messenger, gagged him, and
bound him TO the safe, after which he coolly
rified the car. He cut open the bags contain
ing silver but took none Of it. At Meremac
the robber left the train. The robbery was
not discovered until the train reached Pacific,
when the express-car was broken open and
Messenger rockingham found securely tied
to the safe. Express officers are rather re-
ticent, but admit that over $4,000 was
taken
The robber is imperfectly described as a
tall, dark Inan Of progressing appearance,
dressed III black, with very large hands and
feet. 1t is singular coincidence that he
gave the name of Jim Cummings, the only
member of the once celebrated james gang
who has never been accounted Tor.
