6.-That, Having confessed his part
in the passage of the Mushbach law and
his present declaration that Ito him) ii
is unobiectionable, he stands self-con,
fessed the race track candidate for the
State Senate.
This is enough; but we have not
quite finished in this connection. 1t
has been asserted on the streets of AL
exandria that we are influenced in this
opposition to Captain Mushbach by the
interests of Congressional aspirant,
that we want "to kill off Mushbach for
Congress" We are not engaged in the
business of slaughtering unborn infants.
Captain Mushbach's chances for Con-
gress exist only in the dreary wastes
of imagination. And the man who as.
serts or insinuates that we are in
auenced in this opposition to Captain
Mushbach by any other reasons than
the ones published in the Journal is
guilty of malicious Justification; and
the manner in which this has been
done BELTS the character of coward
and a sneak.
If any gentleman wishes to discuss
the Senatorial question with us over hs
own name, in a proper and pertinent
way, we respectfully invite him to do
so. We have no axe to grind and no
stiletto concealed, but serene as sum.
mer's sea we await tho next launch.

candidates upon "the ballot; as I con-
| strue IL, the arrangement and order in
which the candidates names are put
upon "the ballot" is left to the jud Sneut
and discretion of the electoral boards OF
the cities and counties OF the Common
wealth.
2. You ask that I give my opinion re-
garding the ballots to be used i'm the
vote upon the constitutional amendment
to be submitted to the people at the
coming election on the 9Th OF November
whether the ballots should be separate
and deposited in a separate ballot box?
The Walton ballot law was passed
after the act which directs the proposed
constitutional amendment to be submit
ted to the people.
"The fifth section" of this law enacts
that lit shall he The duty of the electoral
boards of the several counties and cites
within the State within thirty days pre-
ceding such election to cause to be
printed "
These ballots shall contain the names
Of all candidates complying with the pro-
visions as above required, printed III
black ink Immediately below the once
for which they have so announced their
candidacy" but confers no further or
other powers
I find experienced judges and able law
yers differ as TO how the vote upon the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
shall be taken and the right of the
Electoral Board to print upon ''tSe wal
ton ballo." the words following, VIZ,
For the amendment TO the CONSTITUTIONS
Against the amendment 10 the Constitu-
ton" Upon careful consideration think
It safest and best and advise that ina
ballot prepared by the electoral boards
shall conform strictly to the requirements
of Section >" of the new law, and con-
tain only the offices voted for and names
Of candidates.
Further. that the voter provide his own
ballot. on the constitutional amendment"
and that these ballots shall he placed In
a separate Dallot-boX prepared for that
purpose. Very truly yours.

Two Questions OF Money.
Richmond, Feb. 6. 10.

Richmond, Feb. 8. 1895.
Editor Times: Thanking YOU for your
prompt reply 10 ours of the 18th we now
bes to further ask the following inforna-
zion. viz:
How and when are national bank notes
ICdcemablc. and
Are silver dollars or the certificates
therefor convertible or rcdeemable IN
gold. and il so. how?
Your reply will be much appreciated by
many readers.
National banks must pay their notes
whenever payment io demanded of those
that issue them. in whatever money Is
legal tender We have already told our
correspondent what is legal tender-gold
and silver and the Governments notes.
The national bank notes are not legal
tender.
Gold dollars cannot be demanded of the
Government for silN er dollars. But the
Government receives the silver dollars
or the silver certificates in payment of all
its dues. which makes IL that the silver
dollar and the gold dollar are standing
upon the same footing, and this keeps the
silver dollar, worth in fact only about
nifty cents. UP TO the value of the gold
dollar. The Government can do this so
long as the silver dollars have NOT be-
come so numerous as TO excite the dis
trust of the world OF its ability to con
tnue doing Il. But our quantity Of them
mas now become so great that the world
distrusis the ability OF the Government
to continue 10 trfat the silver dollar as
equal to the gold dollar. hence the panic
that we have been through and the pres
ent prostration Of all business.
The Government will not give gold for

Di~patch's articles or Wednesday ana
Friday really meant TO saddle the re-
sporsibili;y for the alternating Of names
on the Secretary OF the Commonwealth
and the Attorney Gencral~and We DO MOI
see how candid mind can doubt that
that was the intontlon-wha Is to he
thought Of the case now that It turns
cut that neither the Secretary OF the Com
monwcalth nor the Attorney General is
under any responsibility OF any sort what
ever in connection with It?
However all this may be, the altcrnat-
ing Of names. not on the ballot, but on
several different ballots, was done sim
ukaneously all over the State, and must.
therefore. have heen suggested or directed
from some central quarter Who IS re-
sponsible for e? II must come out sooner
or later, and the party responsible had
as well assume the responsibility at
once. IT will be fixed in the end.

Tho most remarkable instance OF rapid
growth Is said TO be recorded by the
French Academy IN 1929. II was boy,
six years OF age five feet six inches in
height. At the age Of five his voice
changed. al six mis- beard had grown and
he appeared a man OF thirty. He possess
ed great physical strength, and could
easily lift to his shoulders and carry bags
Of grain weighing two hundred pounds
His decline was as rapid as his growth.
At eight his tair and beard were gray,
at ten he tottered in his walk. his teeth
fell out and his hands became Palsied. At
twelve. he died. with every outward sign
OF extreme old age.
