Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1889-12-25
Mr.. WINDOWS Proposition.

To state Mr.. WINDOWS scheme for set
Ting the silver problem is 20 condemn It.
TO talk about depositing in bank any
thing except money is TO talk about con-
verting bank into something else.
There are only two reasons why the Gov
eminent might store silver and issue Urea
sury notes against it which are not as
GOOD reasons for storing lead aud issuing
Treasury notes against lead. These reasons
are-frst, that the supply of lead IS much
larger than the supply of silver. and, So
cond, that the quantity OF lead which 1T
would be necessary to furnish room for de-
posting would tax all the powers of the
Government.
The Government has for years stored
silver dollars and issued treasury
against them. But these dollars are money,
and they are deposited rs money and on
the assumption that they viii continue TO
be money. The Government keeps them
at par with gold by making them receiya-
be for customs-duties, and by other pro-
visions Of law. Not tower four mlllionsof Sill
yer dollars on an average can be coined cach
month, or forty-eight millioHsa year Ihls
is a manageable sum. but we fear that the
quantity mot SUM OF silver which
would be deposited in the Treasury every
month under the WINDOW scheme would
solve the silver problem in a negative way
That is, by showing that the world could
produce more silver than the United States

The RIGHT Splrit.

The Washington Post Of yesterday re-
ports Syator PUGH, Of Alabama, as having
said on Monday-in speaking Of the pro-
posed law TO regulate congressional cleo
lions in the several States-that no such
law could be forced through even the
Senate. We quote Nj PU0u:
1T viii ue impossible to pass such bill
as has been proposed. As for myself VIII
stay up night and day fOr weeks 10 prevent
the Senate from passing any bill SUCH a.
the Republicans have determined upon,
and other Democratic senators VIII be
fully as earnest. II is the most VICIOUS 81
all the Republican attempts 10 violate the
constitutional rights OF the States, and II
viii he resisted 10 the last inch by the De-
morats IN Congress-
n Mr.. PUGH is authorized 20 speak for
the Democrats in the Senate, the southern
people may make themselves easy. There
is no previous question III tho Senate.
That body assumes that il is too diguiied
to need any such means Of bringing the
Senate 10 o vote. OF course, the Eepubii-
can senators can, il they choose 10 do so,
adopt a new rule providing for the use OF
the previous question. But We do not
think that all Of them are anxious 20 pass
national election-law. though they would
vote for one if they were PIT to the test.
We indulge the hope that few OF them
would be glad to "side-track the pro-
posed law. The Democrats should carry
oUt Mr.. PCGH's programme, and force the
Senate 10 adopt the new rule necessary to
the success of the election bill, or else 20
allow it to be defeated by the persistent ef-
forts OF the Democrats.

The States- Tho Notion.

That was a very interesting opinion
which Judge HUGHFs read i'm the United
State Circuit Court day before yesterday
I'm the cnso Of Ii. Nj. SUTH, Jr. The Dis
trict Attorney had moved for leave 10 Gle
an information against SMITH for viola
ton Of Federal statute. Judge iuoms.
"a was stated ia our issue Of yesterday,
overuled the motion and refused 20 allow
the information to be filed. His decision
was based upon the following clause of
Article Y. of amendments to the Federal
Constitutions:
"No person shall be held 20 answer for q
capital or otherwise infamous CRIME unless
on prescntment or indictment OF grand
JURY
lit would appear that L ige IiUGHrs Is SO
familiar with the above clause that he
quoted it from memory, seeing that he uses
the word Offence instead Of the word
crime" which latter Is the word employ

There is q Law III Virginia which contains
almost identically the same provision with
the one quoted above frcm Article
V. OF the Amendments TO the Fede-
raj Constitution. This fact goes to
show that in the absence of such a state
law tho Federal Con stitutiOn would not
protect citizens OF Virginia from being
held TO answer for infamous crimes upOn

question closely akin TO this was raised
In the convention held in 1850 TO frame a
new Constitution for Virginia. A propo-
sitiOn was made 10 extend the jurisdic-
tion of justices OF the peace TO cases in
which the value in controversy amounted
20 fifty dollars. Mr.. Borrs argued that TO
do 80 would be 10 violate Article VII. of
the amendments to the Federal Constitu-
ton. which article reads as follows:
In suits at common law whore the
value in controversy shall exceed twenty
dollars the right of trial by jury shall be
preserved" &c.
II is said that Mr.. WEBSTER was appealed
70 upon thispoint. OF course ne gave it
as his opinion that Article VII. WAS a
limitation upon the powers OF jurisdiction
Of the Federal courts. and did not apply to
the State courts AZ all.

vast difference between an indictment,
