The secretary offers national bank sys-
tenn, suggests method of allowing State
banks to issue circulating votes, recommends
the retirement of legal-tender notes, and dis
cusses the problem of maintaining the gold
reserve. The secretary believes that the new
tariff law is inconsistent and that iron and
coal should have been upon the free list.
There Is such wide divergence of views
among members of the House committee en-
banking and currency that it is not expected
that any action will be taken by this Congress
in reference to the secretary's recommeda-
tons concerning the financial question.

If VIRGINIA owes two-thirds of the
debt of the State before it was divid-
ell, according to every principle Of
justice and equity, West Virginia owes
the remaining third. But judging from
the way her newspapers and leading
politicians talk, she will not pay a
silver, for the U. S. Supreme Court has
decided that State cannot be COMPEL
ed to pay debt. And yet that State
will be represented in the next Con-
gress by solid republican delegation
in the House, and by one republican in
the Senate.

saws that while twelve hundred WORK

they hold at that, he should come to

OF ALL the four hundred and seven
teen members of the Congress elected
last month, not one is negro, and that,
too, though the solid negro vote was
then cast for the republican party, and
though several of the States were car
ried by that vote. White republicans
evidently don't agree with Mr.. Cleve-
laud, that negroes should be put in i'm
portant positions, not for fitness, but to
show that the negro element of the
country's population is recognized.

JUMPED FROM THE BRIDGE.-As the
northern bound train on the Southern
Railway drew out Of the depot yester-
day afternoon, it was noticed that q
man with an Italian cast Of counte-
nance was acting rather queerly, but
at that time no particular attention was
paid to him. When, however, the
train was about to enter the first bridge
leading over to Amherst, the passen-
gers were Mortified to see this man
spring from his seat and running out
upon the platform, leap to the earth
many feet below. His intention was
evidently to kill himself; but failing in
his first attempt, he dragged himselfup
to the edge of the canal and plunged
into the water. Again he failed, for
some one near by dragged him out
but still, not satisfied, he freed himself
by violent effort, and again jumped
into the water. By this time quite a
number of persons had gathered on the
banks, and between them they had man.
aged to restrain the inturiated man.
He was carried first to the Relay
House and thence to the Office Of DR..
r. o. Owen, who, on examination, dis
covered that his left leg had been brok-
en-. This was bandaged, and the man,
who was pronounced insane, was plac-
ed in prison. His name could not be
ascertained. He is an Italian, and was
on his way to New Orleans. From
what he said to Mr.. Accorsini, he had
a few days before been robbed of a
considerable sum of money, aud the
supposition is that the loss unbalanced

A BARBECUE OF BEARs.-A few days
ago the mountaineers of Logan county
w. Va, voted upon the question of di-
viding the county into two counties,
with an overwhelming vote in favor OF
the division. After the election, which
was generally pleasing, a grand fete or
barbecue was agreed upon, and this
fete has just come off at Logan Court
house.
The tables were spread in the main
street. and all traffic was suspended,
while every body in the town and hum
dreds of stalwart mountaineers, with
their wives and children, participated.
Eight big black bears had been she t
within mile or two Of the village and
their carcasses, served in barbecue style,
were the piece de resistance of the feast.
The bears were 1anked and surrounded
with roasted and baked 'possums, wild
turkeys, pheasants, quail, rabbits, and
ali sorts of domestic fowls. Potatoes by
the barrel were roasted and pumpkin
pies by the hundred lined the tables.
Hard cider was the beverage.
'Devil Anase' Hatfield, as he is
called-the noted leader of the Hat
fields in the Hatfield Mccoy vendetta,
presided. He stood at the head of the
tables with a half open valise, from
which protruded the butts of three big
revolvers. There is price set upon
the head of this patriarch, but no one
ever tries to secure it. Hatfield is quiet
in demeanor with determined mouth
and keen black eyes.
There was no disturbance of any sort.
Every body knew that more than a
score of graves dotted the mountain
sides and valleys of Logan county; in
grim testimonial of Hat6eld's deadly
skill with Winchester and pistol, and
nobody cared to test the courage of a
man who seems to be unacquainted with
fear. The feast was grand success.
