The Dangerous Coupons.

The coupons Of Virginia bonds are
signed by nobody. The pretended
signatures are the work Of " machines"
as Mr.. FULKERsoN's bill says by i'm
plication. Coupons, however, seem to

RAsCALITY WITH BOND COUPONS.
Washington, January ia piece of
rascality has just been brought to light
in the Register of the Treasury's office.
Fourteen Of the original 100 registered
bonds of $50 each came in from the
Sub. Treasury at New York, where they
were redeemed. The coupons had all
been detached and paid. 1t was found
upon examining the number Of one of
the bonds that that particular number
had already been redeemed and so re.
corded. Search was then made for the
redeemed coupons, when it was dis
covered that the numbers had been
altered very neatly with pen. The
bonds were genuine and should have
been paid to some one. The object in
changing the numbers was to avoid de-
lection, as the thieves rightly imagined
that the Government would be notified
of the theft. The question now is
whether there is any redress for those
who lost the bonds, and whether the
thieves can be tracked and captured.-

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The people Of this part Of the State
have read the various letters published
in the Dispatch on the above subject
with great deal Of interest, and your
editorial remarks have shown that you
fully comprehend their situation, which,
| am sorry to say, some Of our legisla-
tors do not, Judging from the various
schemes suggested, such as deduction
of part of the interest, the organizing
court machinery, through which each
so-called delinquent must run, &c.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it does seem to me
that would be the veriest mockery. A
large portion Of the accounts do not
amount to IS, require the poor
delinquent to spend many anxious
hours and even days in rumaging over
old files Of papers, and if he has been so
fortunate as to find the precious docu-
ment he is then required to attend the
courthouse, distan. fifteen miles, on
such day as his honor shall designate,
and perhaps through legal counsel tfor
who would 90 in to court without it 2
tremblingly attempt to have his case
adjudicated, but is toldby Ibis Honor"
that his case cannot be taken up on
that day, and another day is fixed, per-
haps the very day when it is all-impor-
tant that he should be in his field plant
ing corn, or something Of equal impor-
lance.

poor had better submit to what they
regard . CALLING oppression than to ac-
cept such relief. SUFFERER.

Free Books

SMITHvILLE, Va, Jan. Is, sc.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Having taught several years in pub
lie schools, / feel that am entitled to
"say" about free books, &c. | be-
lieve it will prove very unwise and i'm
polite to supply free books for public
schools. There are breakers ahead of
such legislation that no amount of
vigilance can surmount. If the pre-
sent law, which amply provides books
for INDECENT children, had only been
complied with, there never would have
been any demand for the much-dis-
cussed plank in the Democratic plat
FORM
There are worthy and intelligent
poor in my school for whom l could
never obtain a book. If taxes must
be increased to supply free books,
then the books will never be used, for
poor children must remain at home to
help produce the means to pay addi-
tional taxes. Keeping school open only
five months, the older boys (the ones
who need it most get about two months
attendance, and must then commence
work. Thereby the legal average is
not made, and the school closes, thus
depriving the younger members Of the
community Of all free-school privileges.
We need longer school-terms and bet
ter teachers. The average law" is
very unjust to both pupil and teacher.
Only first-class teachers or those hold
ing A certificates should be licensed,
and if endorsed by majority of pa
irons Of said school, they should re-
ceiye full amount of salary, regardless
Of average.
A farmer employs man to do the
manual labor on his farm. The work
is well and faithfully done, but, on &C.
count Of drought, or Indifferent seed,
the crop is failure. Is it Just or legal
that the laborer should not receive his
hire?
A teacher is expected to improve and
progress with the times, to beautify
and adorn the profession, and yet is not
accorded the justice shown farm la
borer. The public-scbool system
was designed to help every poor
child to common-school education.
In many communities there is not q
sufficient number of that class to make
the legal average, and though the faul.
is not the teachers, he gets about SIS
per month, which is not sufficient to
board and clothe him. He must look out
for other business, the public school
must close, and away goes the birth
right of every poor child Of that COM
munity. Amend the average law, CON-
ply with those already made, and the
school-law is we'll enough.

General Stoneman, the once famous

his severe dyspepsia. His equanimity
of temper suffered correspondingly,
and there were few people who would
brave his remarks by a visit to the
huge orange plantation which he culti-
waited. 1t is almost unnecessary to add
that his restored health has completely
altered his disposition, and that there
are few more genial men than he to-day
