GOLD BALANCE.
1t Is Now So, 1896 Above the
Reserve

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Gold in the
treasury is daily increasing. 1t stands
today s1O2, 291 1896, or 81 ,2s1, 1895 above the
reserve. The net balance in the treasury,
however, from the treasurer's statement
issued today, shows a decrease, attributed
largely to a falling off in custom receipts.
The fact that custom receipts are falling
off, while it affects the government rev.
enue from that source, has an opposite
bearing upon the general prosperity OF
the country, as it shows that less money
is being expended abroad for imported
me rchandise.

say that they would destroy the city by

out the fact that the editor had been
blackmailed for long time by de-
mands upon him based on his relations
with three women contributors to his
publication. He was bled, not by the
women themselves, but by some of
their masculine friends who were high
in society. The amount of short

The RockweIl-Noyes Case.

LURAY, Va, July Is, 1S93.-The re-
cent answer OF the GAZETTE to "New
Subscriber" in your isue of the 4th
inst, giving the record of the Rockwell
Noyes case and the part taken by Col.
O'Ferrall is one Of the best and most
satisfactory exhibits of that remarka-
BILE congressional contest we have seen.
1t has done good in that it calls atten-
ton to matter in which the people of
this State have an interest and upon
which information is called for; and
we are not surprised that the publica-
ton referred to has elected the special
correspondence published in your pa
per. We think this to be most i'm
portant matter Just now. If we under
stand rightly Col. O'Ferrall has no
apologies to make for his vote in that
case. On the other hand he and his
friends justify his action, claiming he
was conscientious, voted as he thought,
and that to be right is better than to be
President. We are willing to believe
he voted as he thought and that be was
entirely conscientious in so doing. So
far we have nothing to say, but when
we consider the surroundingsand know
he was one of 80 democrats in the
whole body of Congress who voted as
he did. we may we'll ask what are we
to do with the other 40 democrats who
were equally as conscientious as he
and who did not vote as he did :?
We care nothing, so far as the
merits are concerned, for 9TH
er reasons given, but we do very
conscientiously ask why it was that the
Colonel should feel, think and act then
as he did, defend his position now for
so doing and then claim he is entitled
to any credit for doing his duty as he
saw it? Are the 140 other democrats
to be charged with less of right and
of honor, and therefore to be declared
undemocratic because they saw not as
the Colonel? They or the Colonel did
wrong, and for one who has been raised
in the democratic party we feel that to
be in so remarkable a minority on so
important an occasion demands the
fullest and most special scrutiny.
We are not prepared to give the Col
onel better judgment, clearer vision or
more of conscience than we feel is due
each of the $40 who did not vote t9
seat republican over democrat in a
purely doubtful case, and to make the
best of it, we do say that what he
claims for self is due to each of his 140
brethren, and to put it that way his ac-
ton is one of those strange things
which sometimes mark the cause Of
public men which never appear better
by explanation and to defend which
they are brought in direct comparison
with their peers, who must suffer by
their vindication or prevail with their
defeat. b.

THE VIRGINIA OUTLAws.-A dis
patch from Norton, Wise county, says /:
The Fleming gang has disappeared in
the mountains. Reliable parties have
communicated with relatives of the

FIR DAY EVENING. July IA, 1893.

THE New YORK Press, which has be-
come the recognized organ of the New
York republicans, says "many thou
sands of the soldiers of the Union army
were enlisted from the poorer quarters
of New York and other great northern
Cities But, by noticeable, though
by no means strange omission, the
Press never says word about the hun
dreds of thousands of such soldiers who
were induced to come here from the
great cities of Europe by the bounty
and substitute money, many OF whom
went back to their homes after the war
and. as shown by the pension list, are
even yet drawing pensions. Why, SO
large was the percentage OF foreigners
among the prisoners captured by the
Confederates, that it was common say
ing among the latter that they had TO
whip not only the Yanks but all the
other nations of the world besides.
