It thus appears. That for the years
above mentioned, covering Jackson S
entire administration, the coinage Of
silver far exceeded the coinage of
gold. In view of the foregoing facts
how unjust it is, to accuse Jefferson
and Jackson with being opposed to
the free coinage of silver; against
such an imputation well might the
shades of Jefferson and Jackson ex-
claim. ANGELS and ministers of grace
defend us!'' 1t is a qualification to
be able to repel this stab at the dead,
and to vindicate from reproach the
memory of these illustrious men

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1.-The Legis.
lature met to-day with nearly q full At.
tendance in both branches. The Off.
GERS for each house, nominated by the
democratic caucuses last night, were
then elected and an organization per.
Perfected. The Governors message
was read, but little other business was
transacted.
The general assembly will elect cap..
tol officers, treasurer, auditors, superin.
tendent of the penitentiary, public
printers, &C., but no judges except in
cases of vacancies. The more impor.
tant questions that will come before
the body will be those of holding a
constitutional convention, amending
the Walton election law and modifying
the system of appeals in criminal cases
1t is also probable that the oyster laws
may be in measure amended and that
the good roads question will receive a
good deal of attention. The debt CUES.
ton is entirely out IF the way except
that some effort may be made to effect
settlement with West Virginia on her

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. 4.-The Ar.
menians residing in Constantinope
have prepared petition to the powers
which they purpose presenting to the
various governments through the Aus.
train Ambassador. The diplomats have
exhausted all means of action in tie mat
ter of the issuance of frmans by the
Porte permitting the presence in tie
Bosphorus ofsecond guardships, nnder
the instructions they had received from
their respective governments. They
have now asked their cabinets for fresh
orders, the arrival of which they are
awaiting.
LONDON, Dec 4-The correspondent
of the United Press at Constantinople
announces that the Turkish governor
of Kaisarea, Asia Minor, where
massacre of Christians occurred on Nov.
3Oth, has been dismissed by order of
the Porte.
BERLIN, Dec. 4-Herr Won Buol-
Berenberg was reelected president of
the Reichstag to-day, receiving $50
votes out of 293 cast. Herr Schmidt, a
member of the Richter radical grour,
was elected first vice president.
LONDON, Dec. A dispatch from
Constantinople says the question Of the
admission of additional guardships into
the Bosphorus is in suspense and all
diplomatic action in the matter is at Il
complete standstill for the moment.
Some ofthe Ambassadors are still await
ing fresh instructions from their gov
ernments. All of the diplomats are of
the belief that the exercise OF strong
pressure will be necessary to induce the
Sultan to yie'd, and it is understood
that such action will be taken immedi-
ately upon the receipt of replies by The
Ambassadors of the powers which are
insisting upon the issuance of frmars
to the representations they have made
to their respective governments. Rus
STA has made personal appeal to the
Austrian, German and French govern
ments for an agreement that Russia,
Austria, Germany and France shall not
press their demands without success.
LONDON, Dec. The Pail DIAL Ga-effr
says that Lord Sa,isbury's reply to Secretary

WHETHER the republican majority in
Congress shall pass bill to reimpose n
tax CD wool can not now be told, but,
iudging from the recent outgivings OF
napy of the individual members OF that
lpaioriiy, such bill would certainly
receive no little support. o. the con
irarv, none or few oftbem have express
ed themselves as favorable to an in
creased tax on intoxicating drinks.
And vet wool is prime necessary OF
life, and the poor man must buy what
is made of it for his family, though he
may have to curtail his other necessary
expenses in order to do so, while no
body need use stimulants except as
medicine. The deficit in the revenue
must be made up, but it should be by
an increased tax on luxuries, certainly
not by putting higher taxes on what
poor men are compelled to buy in order
to keep their wives and children warm
in cold weather. But es poor men, by
their votes, elected the republican ma
iority in Congress, they will have to
stand the racket, and abide by the re-
result of their own work.

CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The
annual meeting ofthe American Church
Missionary Society, was held al the
Mission House, in New York yester-
day. The first business was the read
ing of the annual report, in which the
alleged defalcation OF Secretary VIM.
A. Nebold and Treasurer Henry A.
Oakley were commented upon. the re-
port says the amount taken by the
treasurer is $21 .S23; the amount taken
by the general secretary is $1,000,
from September l, 1887. The treasurer
made good the sum for which he was
accountable. The general secretary
bad nothing nor had he any one vino
was sufficiently interested in him TO
make good the amount. The general
secretary has been deposed from the
ministry and was old, penniless and
publicly disgraced. Toproceed against
him and not against the treasurer, says
the report, wou d be justly open to the
charge that the prosecution was not be-
cause he took the money, but because
he had not friends to pay it back. The
OACSuiiNO was
in deciding that the society would not
prosecute.
