The Dead Bill.

In his speech on the bill to repeai 'he
10 per cent. tax. Mr.. Springer brought
to light some facts which OF themselves
no doubt did much to seal the tate OF
that bill. He exposed the weak spot 1T
the State-bank system. and made an ar
gument which doubtless carried convlc-
ton to the minds OF many members.
Mr.. Springer is n Democrat ana the
chairman of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency. In Illustrating
the diversity in value between the dn-
ferent classes Of State-bank currency. he
cited from publication Of 1851 the fact
that the discount In New York city on
State-bank notes at that time was as
follows: Pennsylvania. 2 to 10 per cent.
Maryland, 4 TO 3; Virginia, G.; North
Carolina, S; South Carolina, 4; Georgia,
3, 4. and 10; Alabama. 3; Louisiana. 2 10;

Convention and Extra Session.

The Lynchburg Advance says:
We gather from the above Dispatch
article of Wednesday, that the Dispatch
stands Just where the Advance stahus
In this matter. 1t is In favor OF a conVeh-
ton at the earliest practicable date, Dut
opposed to an extra session or the Legis-
lature called for the specific purpose Oh
providing for convention. IL Is better
to worry on a while longer with our pres
ent Constitution than TO suHer the III
Fiction of an extra session.
Exactly: but IL any decision OF the SUI
preme Court of Appeals should so inter-
fere with the Walton election law as to
make II desirable to have additional legis-
lation on the subject, then unauestionabiy
IL would become the duty of Governor
O'Ferrall 10 issue call for an extra ses-
sion. The Advance has no fear that the
Walton law will be upset. II Its opinion
should prove correct then there will be no
need of an extra session before the No
vember election.
After the November election, after the
people have adopted the so-called petit
larceny amendment to the Constitution,
II will be for the Governor to consider
Wnetner IL VIII DC pcttcf w Sei III ~NN'"
session OF The General Assembly to put
that amendment into effect, or to walt
until the regular session in December
1885, This will be a mere question OF dol
lars and cents. The books Of the Auditor
of Public Accounts ought to show-and
will no doubt show-whether the amount
Of money which could be saved by abol-
ishing the trial by Jury OF petit larceny
cases would be greater or less than the
cost Of a short legislative session.
The Advance Is right In saying that the
Dispatch Is In favor Of having a consti-
tutional convention ''at the earliest prac-
ticable date" The more this question is
discussed the nearer We are getting to n
convention; but We must try 10 make
sure that the public mind is well pre-
pared for the question before the question
is submitted. The opponents OF consti-
tutional convention would like nothing
better than to force vote before popular
sentiment had cryrtallized In favor OF a
convention. If the Walton election law
accomplishes all that its trainers and
friends hope, the convention question may
be postponed awhile: but II not. the con-
vention question will become an irrepress-
ible one. And as We have said before, we
think that there are virsinians living who
can frame a better Constitution for this
Commonwealth than that which Under

All this Is in the way OF prologue to
the announcement that the American Lo-
connective Manufacturers Association Is
now In annual session In Richmond.
Their choice of this city as their
place OF meeting is an honor which Rich.
mond appreciates. The presence here oil
these gentlemen Is a concession OF the
fact that Richmond is numbered with the
great LOCOMOTIVES building communities of
the United States. Knowing what great
good our own ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS have
done for Richmond-what large numbers oil
people they employ-what fine reputation
their engines have made for us-we can
better understand what is the aggregate
Of wealth. skill and enterprise represented
by the members who are here to-day.
May their stay be pleasant and profit
able May their consultations result In
greater activity In this all-important In
dustry. and when they return home may
1t be with kindly recollections OF Rich
mond and Richmonders.

The Looomottxe Ruilders.

The modern locomotive has never been
awarded It's due share Of credit I'm the
development Of this country. Some OF the
more enterprtsing railroad lines have been
called town builders" but the modern
,ocomotive-the American locomotive-has
been town and country builder both;
that is to say. It has helped to open up
vast stretches Of western lands which
otherwise might not have come under the
piow for centuries TO come. Hence Il
has aided In making many rural homes:
many fns farms and numerous great
cities.
II our inventors and artisans had bsen
content with the locomotive which was

When Congress Will Adjourn.

The members Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives are already anxious to be at
home mending their fences, and will
not consent to remain In Washington a
day longer than it Is absolutely neces-
sary for them to stay there In order to
pass the tariff bill and the appropria-
ton bills.
SO that whatever legislation is to be
done in the House OF Representatives
must be done whilst the Senate is en-
gagged upon the tariff bill. So also the
Senate will be anxious to adjourn, and
must finish up the bills sent to it from
the House whilst the latter Is at work
upon the tariff bill
And then, after all, conference commit
tees will have to take the business I'm
hand and put an end TO 1t.
