teresting Incidents.
ALBANY, GA, April This city re-
ceived more people to-day than at any
other time in her history. Gov. Northen
and Gen. Longstreet were certainly draw
ing cards. Governors day was all that
could have been wished for, and the days
programme, from start 60 finish, was the
best of the assembly. At o'clock a concert
was given by the military band in the tent
tabernacle. At 10 o'clock a concert was
given by Prof. Case and the Chantauqua
chorus, which was exceptionally fine. 1t
being the last OF the assembly, everybody
seemed to do their best.
Two thrilling and touching scenes were
witnessed in the tabernacle this morning,
the first being the arrival Of Gov Northen
and stiff. AS the man came up the
long aisle at Q o'clock, leaning
on the arm Of Col. E. L. Wight the mill
tary band struck up national air, aud a
thrill of reverence and joy ran through
every heart In the vast audience. At IL
O'Clock, when Prof. Case tooK leave of his
chorus and friends, more than one tear
could be seen glistening in the eyes of his
host of admirers.
At o'clock Gov. Northen addressed the
audience, followed by Col w. L. Calhoun.
Both addresses were received with long and
loud applause.
At o'clock this afternoon the military
engaged in dress parade on Broad street,
making magnificent showing. The troops
were reviewed by the governor.
The closing event Of the day was an
illustrated lecture by Prof. c. C. Balton at
o'clock Tonight

Resolutions Passed Thanking Atlanta
Friends For Courtesies.
ATLANTA, GA, April 1.-The Savannah
clerks of the Central railroad who go back
TO their former homes in the Forest City,
met and passed the following resolutions on
receipt Of the order to prepare for de-
parture:
Be IL TesoIUed, By the men from Savannah
here assembled in fullest force, that despite the
exceeding great JOY which fills our hearts at the
prospect of an early return to that southern
queen of commerce, that ever fondly loved
home, we are conscious Of feelings of sincere
regret that we must part with our comrades,
and say good by 20 the friends we have met
an our exile. May the friendships which we
have formed be but cemented by separation,
and may the good will which we cherish toward
these we leave behind us be the fruitful source
of happiness and prosperity for them, through
out all their coming years.
and, Resolved further, That we request the
officials and their executive officers in the vari-
GUS departments TO accept this expression Of
our thanks for their uniform kindly treatment
and for every and all the courtesies which we
have received at their hands, and that copy
of these proceedings be sent to each Of them.

MuzZles for the Dogs.

This is "a mad-dog" year in some
sections of Virginia. Never before
we're dogs under such grave suspicion.
The slightest eccentricity on their part
is put down as an indication of rabies.
and the death penalty is pretty sure to
follow.
The scare has reached Richmond even,
and the attention of the Chief Ct Police
has been called to the ordinance re-
quiring dogs going at large during the
summer months to be muzzled.
This law has long been in existence,
but has not been enforced for many
years, if ever but the Chiefs attention
has been so pointedly called to it recent
ly that he has no option but to enforce
it. The city of Richmond might per-
haps make itself liable for damages
should injury occur to any one by rea-
son OF an unmuzzled dog going at large
upon our streets. So the law will be
executed. The City Council can repeal
or modify it if it regards it as unjust or
obnoxious. But it is not a novel law /;
other cities have similar ones, and, what
is better, vigorously enforce them.
We are convinced that few dogs
90 mad, but we do not believe in taking
any risks. If dog is under suspi-
cion he should either be safely chained
up or killed. During this season hun
dreds in Virginia, including several in
Richmond, have fallen under suspicion
and been summarlly put to death. We
may, however, repeat what we have often
said, not to show that hydrophobia does
not exist but that it is exceedingly rare,
that there is no we'll authenticated case
in the history of Richmond Of person
dying from hydrophobia.
The late DIR. BEALE, who lived to be
more than 80 years of age, said that he
never saw a case of hydrophobia, and
never could find here any other physi-
clan who had seen one. Nevertheless,
We should take all reasonable precau-
tons against it. To this end "the muz-
zle ordinance " was passed long ago; to
this end it is now to be enforced, after a
slumber Of years.
Don't blame the police. If you think
that there should be no such law appeal
to the City Council though, to be can
did, we doubt if the Council will be dis
posed to leniency just at this time.

Gold.

The Census Bureau reports that the
assessed value OF property in the United
States was about $4,000, 1000 more in
1890 than in 1880. Ought not the
amount of currency to bear some pro-
portion to the value of the property OF
the country If 5000, 900, 900 of pro-
perty was represented in 1880 by a GER
tain amount of circulation, ought not
S24, OO0. 900, 900 of property in lS90to be
represented by one third more of circu-
lation
Again II the value OF property has
increased by one third in ten years,
ought not the circulation to increase in
the same ratio
Once more II our property increases
in value 3 or 4 per cent per annum,
ought not the means Of moving our pro-
perty-gold-to increase in quantity and
value by per cent. per annum

Minneanolis News.

Our readers may rely upon the Dis
PATCH to give them the latest, fullest,
and best accounts to be obtained of the
proceedings of the National Republican
Convention at Minneapolis.
We have not only all Of the facilities
and advantages of the Associated Press
service, with telegraph-wire running
into our Office, but we have an expe-
rienced correspondent Of our own on
the ground to add those features which
have special interest for the people Of
Virginia and North Carolina.
Therefore it will be well to look to the
DISPATCH for Minneapolis news, and we
shall, as matter of course, give it
without partisan bias, for We don't caro-
whether BLAINE, HARRIsoN, or "a dark
horse" wins. as we expect the winner at
Minneapolis to DO the loser at the No
yember election. he will most un-
doubleday be the loser IL the Demo-
cratic delegates come together at Chi
cago in the same spirit that the Demo
cratic delegates OF Virginia came to-

ton at Richmond. And why should

To-Day.

To-day the Republican Ma io0al Cen
yeu:ioa will assemble IN NiopeIol 8. 10
day. if Mr.. BLAINE is as sr ng as his
ir.epds suppose him 20 be. hs VIII b,
nomina el for President OF the United
stit,s. Delays are dangerous II case
OF This sort therefore Mr.. BLAINE's
supporters must and will push for a
speedy nomination. We say III y must.
We might soy they have been push
ing" ever siate Mr.. BLAINE resigned his
Office Of SECRETARY Of State, as In eed
they had been for long time lefoie.
The leaders of the BLAINE faction are
the most exI fenced rushers and con-
trollers in the Republican party. They
know 10 such word as - &c eat, II their
own utterances may be accepted as true.
They set their hecrts some time ago
upon defeating Mr.. HARRISON OF the
nomination. They had the whole Re-
publican party, or at least the whole adj
ministration, working ag ,inst them. and
yet they seem to stand to-day upon the
Threshold Of victory.
To-day-if the Republican conven-
ton shall nominate to-day, as they
must if they are in earnest in their
expressed desire to nominate BLAINE
that convention will take action which
cannot but have a vast influence upon
the Democratic National Convention to
meet two weeks from to-day. One adj
vantage the Democrats will have, and
this is that they will have two weeks for
consideration and reflection, whereas
Mr.. BLAINEs resignation was sent to
President HARRISON only three days be-
fore the time for the Republican Ma
tional Convention to meet.

The Commodity Dollar.

In writing Sunday on the subject we
intended, OF course, to say that Mr..
SHERMAN was in favor Of putting silver
enough in the silver dollar to make it
equal in value to 25 $40 grains gold,
(not sitper, as We wrote it).
We now have in the Congregational
Record. as quoted by Mr.. STEWART, the
following extract from Air. SHERxAS's
report Of l87O-S0 as Secretary OF the
Treasury. He said:
"For those reasons the Secretary respectfully
but earnestly recommends that the further COM
pulsory coinage Of the silver dollar DO suspend
Cd. or. - an alternative. that tho number Of
grains Of silver In the dolIar be Increased 80 as 10
make Il equal In market value to the gold dollar,
and that its coinage DO lsfs a. other coinage TO
tho Secretary Of the Treasury or tine director OF
the mint " depend upon the demand for IL By
the public for convenient circulation"
The reader will see that Mr.. SHERMAN
advocated the commodity dollar twelve
years ago.

COLONEL Frank q. Ruffin.

AL tuot wan Invita- W essS s'~
mel FRANK q. RuFr1S was yesterday
laid away to rest. The intimate rela.
tons which exist d between him and
the founder Of this paper forbid that we
should foil t, say word concern n
him in this column, more particularly
as for years Colonel FRANK q. RuFrIN
always spoke to the public through the
DISPATCH.
Colonel RuFFM was true FRIEND.
As it was impossible for him to appro. c !
anybody c, c,pt in his real character,
or to pretend to favor cause which did
not ,mmend itself to his appreciation.
so be always "wore his heart upon his
sleeve" and was ready to champion
either the man or the cause that had be.
come biz. What he was he was.
Colonel RUFFIN was m able man. In
his controversies in the newspapers he
preferred foes that were "worthy OF bis
steel" He always felt that he kncw he
was right. and so always felt that he was
thrice armed. He took no mean adj
vantage OF anybody. He relied upon
the strength Of bis argument and the
force of truth. He was never unduly
exalted by success nor depressed by fail
ure.
We need not say that Colonel RuFrrS
was model gentleman. The stricken
household who mourn his decease could,
if it we're proper to do so, testify that III
all the various relations OF domestic lie
he was worthy of all that could be said
in his praise. Beautiful, indeed, was his
daily life.
Colonel RUrFrN was the best CONVEX
sationalist of his day. We know OF no
man who could equal him in entertain
ing the most select crowds or excel him
in an "all-round talk" He was so tho
roughly equipped by a fine education,
by long association with the great men
of the country, by a natural talent for
conversation. by never-iailing memory,
and by courtesy, that he could never be
taken unawares. But he never over
whelmed his less educated competitor.
He was too magnanimous for that.
in public life Colonel RUFFIS was
model officer. He kept all his business
in such a condition as that he could
always show how it stood. lie never
"dropped naught" nor pleaded care
lessness. AS Colonel NoRTHRoP's as
sistant in the Office of commissary-gen-
eral during the war between the States
he manifested the same administrative
abilities that he afterwards showed In
the Office of Second Auditor OF the State
of Virginia. He never undertook to do
anything which he did not do well.
Husband, father. friend, public officer,
private citizen, or wherever or in what
ever capacity he served his generation,
Colonel RuFFIN was man whose like
we shall not look upon again.
Finally, let us say that it was an honor
for any man to be recognized as a
close friend by Colonel RUrFIN. He was
so good judge of human nature that
to be selected by him as worthy OF con-
fidence was passport to the confidence
of other persons.
In word, Virginia has not left within
her borders one man OF whom she can
boast that he was truer man than
FRANK Ct. RUFFIS.
