Well SAID.

We see in the papers great many nom
sensical articles upon the subject of the
silver problem and upon monetary ques-
lions generally. Fiat Greenbackers are
especially given to the practice oil
setting forth as financial truths heresies
which it is next to IMPOSSIBLE to believe any
sane man can hold TO be sound teachings.
But here is paragraph from the Lynch
burg Virginidn which indicates that ITS
author knows whereof he writes when no
undertakes to give reason for the falth
that is in him. We quote:
ave are for the free coinage OF silver, not bo-
cause we hope and believe 1t will make money
30 cheap and abundant that everybody VIII
walk around with full pockets and have n cash
drawer with a bell on IL at home but because
We believe that silver Is inrinsically good money;
that IL will be as good as GOLD II the Government
SAYS Il shall be, and puts 1t on tho same basis
ana because we believe that tbs growing busi'
ness of the world demands enlarged financial
machinery, and that this pressing demand will
finally force all civilized governments TO adopt
tho double standard and place silver on par
with gold"
Yes; if free coinage succeeds in this
country it will succeed everywhere and
will result in that greatest of blessings to
the commercial world. "a universal currency.
II is deplorable that England, France. and
Germany cannot see that now is their OPP
portunity for comforting upon mankind q
standard and measure of values which will
make the entire world independents of the
fluctuations in the price of silver. India
and South America would in that event
become part of the monetary federation
of man" and of the financial parliament
of the world"

Richmond.

Richmond as the resting place Of Mr..
DAVIS will be visited annually by many
hundreds, not to say thousands, of persons
who would not otherwise turn their steps
hitherward. London. Rome, and perhaps
other cities, might be named as examples
of the close connection between a king
dom OF empire and some particular city.
Richmond is not to be Mecca. perhaps.
or Westminster Abbey, nor yet Wal
halla, or palace of immortality inhabited
by the souls of heroes slain in battle, but
she is destined to gain much fame as re-
suit of her wisdom in securing for safe
keeping here the ashes of the late Presi-
dent of the Confederate States of America.
Think over the matter. There is much
more in it than perhaps even you have sup
posed there was

A Word to a Friend.

We have read the Rockingham Register's
leader of last week, and we makeno obiec-
ton to the spirit which seems to animate the
breast and inspire the course of that paper.
We like it none the less because it does
not look through our eyes. But we do not
desire or intend to place ourselves in a
false position relative to any one OF the
aspirants to the nomination of the next
Democratic National Convention for Presi-
dent Of the United States. We have never
said word in regard to any one of them
which would hamper us In the least in
case any one of the men we have at Diff
ferent times named in connection with
that Office should be placed upon the
track next year. To engage in dispute
as to the merits or the popularity of this or
that man might possibly lead US to say
what we might afterwards be sorry we had
said. The Register has never styled us an
organ of Governor HILL. but expressly says
in kind words that the DISPATCH is not
among "the lusty contingent" of persons
who are abusing Mr.. CLEVELAND for OPP
posing the free coinage Of silver. II we
wished to take up the cudgels for friend
" fight We should ask for no more honora-
Bile opponent than the Register.

The LlncOln-Hamlin Controversy

We have heretofore expressed our
opinion fully on the position discussed in
the following article from the Washington
Post. We quote without comment what
seems to US to be sound logic:
"The discussion which has been suddenly and
somewhat sharply precipltated upon the country
relative TO the views Of President Lincoln on the
denomination Of vice-PresldeDt Hamlin In 1864
Is not likely 10 be of long duration. Not that the
question Is devoid of interest, but for the reason
that there is practically but ono side to 1t, the
record OF the events OF that period, 80 far as
their true ipwardness has been and Is now being
divuiged, concluslvely showing that the result OF
the Baltimore convention was In all respects
satisfactory TO Mr.. Lincoln, If not the outcome OF
O definitely prearranged plan.
"To come TO any other conclusion would be to
suppose that the convention, after honoring the
President with the highest possible expression
Of confidence had at once proceeded to impugn
the good faith Of its own action by a want0n dis
regard Of Mr.. Llncolns'potical preferences as
10 second place upon the ticket Mr.. Lincoln's
wishes may not have been a law unto the con-
veniion, but all contemporaneous testimony
goes 10 show that they were given conscientious
consideration and II he had but signined by 80
much as a crook Of his finger that Mr.. Hamlin
settled it. There would have been but two bal
lots AMI both unanimous. IL would have been
the Old ticket over again."

lettering

The Lynchburg yirginioe makes hu-
morous reference to the DISPATCH and our
course towards the Democratic aspirants
20 the Office of President and then adds:
"The DISPATCH has no candidate, but he who
RUM may read between the lines that its pre-
ference Is for Governor HILL But, all the same,
II win not indulge In any vain regrets II he Isn't
nominated and will 'whoop 1t up for whoever
IL, xhether his name begins with the third letter
o. tho alphabet or the thirteenth.
"Ana 20 insure success with any candidate the
party may name IL Is only necessary for all
Democratic papers TO resolve upon similar
line Of action and say nothing about any posi-
BILE candidate that viii stand In their way here
after"
We are compelled TO say that the Vir-
gilman Is wise above what is written. 1t
can read between tho lines what Is not to
be found either between the lines or else
where. Nevertheless. the Virginian's closing
paragraph is worthy Of reproduction. and
% We have reproduced it.

Another Debt Proposition.

II seems 10 be fact that the OLcorr
Committee will return here with another
proposition for the settlement OF the pub
lie debt.
They have had ample time In which to
consult the British bondholders. and of
course have done 90.
The idea prevalent here is that they will
now offer TO take from the State what our
legislative committee proposed TO Messrs.
THosETox and BRAirHwAIrE.
They ought to be prompt in doing what
ever they mean TO do. The longer they
wait the worse II will be for them. The

The Executive Committee Of the
North Carolina Teachers assembly
has succeeded in making an engage
ment with the famous Rev I. De-
Witt Talmage, the most popular lee
turer in America-yes in the world
for an evening at the Teachers AS
senbly this summer. A great many
summer gatherings Were exceeding
lv anxious TO secure this most origi-
nal thinker and eloquent speaker,
and he consented to make only a very
few engagements for this season, and
it was the good fortune Of our AS
semply to obtain by telegraph one of
these engagements for Friday even
ipg. June 10Th. There are few audi
toriuins in Carolina that would ac-
commodate the immense audiences
which assemble to hear DIR. TalInage
sneak, and even our large Assembly
Hall will be far too small, but the
| great ballroom Of the Atlantic Ho
tel will be filled with seats and useo
for the occasion. There will be from
two tu three thousand psrsons in tha
vast audience at Morehead City Il
hear DR.. Talmaee. Excursions Wi
run on that day from Weldon

The Grand Jury in the case of the
killing Of the Italians in the city Of
New Orleans failed to find bill OF
Indictment against the city. The
News & Observer, in commenting
upoi. their action, says:
"There were eleven men kill ed
by the people, of whom eight is said
to have been citizens of this country,
and another to have declared his III
tentiOn to be naturaliZed. That
leaves only two who were still sub
jects Of any foreign country. But
in any event none were maltreated
because of their nationality. The
fact that they were of foreign birth
was not the point; it was the fact
that they were offenders in the eyes
of the people. The failure Of the
Grand Jury to indict may embarra SIS
Secretary Blaine in his diplomatic
treatment of the case. but the incl
dent is no proper cause of ill-feeling
between Italy and the United States.
1t was not the result Of prejudice
against Italians, for our people have
no such prejudice, and none has been
shown at New Orleans"
