The Editor Of lie Disnatch:

MACON. Ga, Dec. -, INNJ.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Ny attention has just been drawn
TO an editorial in your issue Of the
9th, entitled THE Public Schools, -
in which you criticiSe a bill recently
offered by myself in the House Of
Delegates, and conclude by requesting
ire TO amend the bill.
The bill has been offered for what
conceive to be the interest OF the public
schools Of Richmond, or | should not
have become its patron. If It can be
amended TO better subserye their in
terests | shall be thankful for the Sug-
gestion; and to satisfy you Of my
honesty Of purpose, 1t Is proper to state
that while gave notice Of the meeting
OF the committee TO which this bill was
referred TO all the parties of whom

ton, to appear and make their state

A Business Barometer.

Richmond's exhibit for 1883, as
illustrated in the Dispatch this morn
ing is most gratifying. The facts and
figures speak for themselves. and rem
dor comment almost work Of super
erocation. There is one point, how
ever. which so strongly emphasizes
all that is set forth by our local chroni-
Gle in respect Of the city's business
condition that we cannot forbear to
touch upon it. The business OF the
banks is the barometer of all business
Nothing affords a better criterion Oh
the trade Of a given year than the
movements and transactions in mney
for that year. The business oil frh'
mond for 1855. as Indicated byt Ne
showing of her banks, was lIrtst
satiSfactory-more satisfactory IL
was that of 1854. Each baH
has done well, and be- added
something to its surrus after de-
clariDg dividend The demand for
money during t, past six months par
ticula1ly.> been active, the manner
~ which discounts have been dis
tributed indicates increased ramiiica-
tons in trade. and the bad debts
reported are hardly worth mentioning.
There has been comparatively little
speculation during the year. and the
consensus of opinion among the heads
Of our banking institutions is that
business is upon safe, economical, and
solid basis. As to the year 1856 our
bankers are hopefrl. They do not look
for a business boom, but they seem
confident Of what is better--a continu-
ance Of economy and conservatism, and
a gradual expansion Of trade upon the
sure foundation laid IN 1885. They
look for prosperOusnew year for bust
ness as a whole. In short. the
bank record for 1855 reflects
credit upon the management Of
our banks, speaks well for the sagacity
and integrity Of our businessmen as a
class, and holds out bright promises
for the future. We cannot extend to
our businessmen a better New-l ear
greeting than is conveyed in the eN-
preston of the hope that the earnest OF
1856 may be fulfilled.

BECK day after day in such language
as the Wa hington Past reyer applies
to Nj. RANDALL. 1t is all wrong.
Mr.. BECK is true Democrat. So is
Mr.. RANDALL. The Democratic party
is not a unit on either the silver ques-
ton OF the tariff question. Without
the silver men. the Democrats couldn't
carry half dozen States and without
the men who agree with Mr.. RANDALL
on the tariff question, they couldn't
carry many more.
The Louisville CoWiT-Jomndl com
plains OF Mr.. CLEVELAND as follows .
The silver question has attracted
the attention of the President above all
other questions, and he puts it first and
foremost among topics demanding the
prompt attention Of Congress. But it
is no more urgent than the tariff, which
he has very unwisely releEated to a
subordinate position, and not half 50 im-
portant.
The silver question is not q party
question. and therefore Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND wisely advises legislation in rc-
gard to it. On the other hand, the
question Of protection comes up when
ever the tariff is touched, and it is not
at all likely that the Senate will concur
in any bill that the Democratic House
of Representatives may frame on that
subject.
Mr.. Kelley will practice Law in New
