The suggestion that General Field
makes-that candidates Offering for the
convention should be required to pledge
themselves to submit the conventions
work TO the people for ratification or
reiection-is good, as far as it goes; but
would not be nearly so efficacious as a
declaration from a State Democratic
convention would be.-Richmond Dis
patch.
1t wouldn't? Why wouldn't 1t? Does
our friend, the Dispatch mean that
there would be more risk in trusting the
individual honor Of every member sent
to a constitutional convention than there
would be in relying upon the mere ar
bitrary instruction of party assembly!
For our own part we think that the peo-
ple Of Virginia may rest at ease that the
representatives whom they send to
constitutional convention would, If they
should pledge themselves beforehand 10
do a certain thing, carry out their
promise TO the letter.-The Norfolk Land
mark.
Oh. yes; but in some counties and cities
the nledge might be eXacted Of the candi-
dates while in other places II might not be-.
Hence. there would be lack Of uniformity;
hut should a State Democratic conven-
ton declare positively In favor OF sub
hitting the work of the convention to
the popular vote, there would be entire
uniformity on the part of all who offered
themselves as Democratic candidates,
and no misunderstanding could arise any
where. SO, too, declaration from a
State Democratic convention might allay
the apprehensions of the people Of the
oyster country.

TEN PER CENT. MORE.

The United States House OF hepie''"
,,ves on Yesterday passed the bill Of Mr.
Johnson. of Indiana. allowing nationai
hanks TO take out 10 per cent more Oh
circulating notes upon their government
bonds now or hereafter TO be oeposi''u
with the Treasury Department.
At present national banks can only Is
sue notes TO the amount OF ~ per cent
Of the par value Of their bonds. held as
security for circulation; but II the 'oni'
son hin passes the Senate each bank VIII
no entitled TO issue notes dollar for douar
~ the mar value OF the bonds aforesaid
The result of the proposed legislation
would be an immediate increase OF ~
ner cent. of the national-bank circuiatloh'
Moreover. many banks might be induced
IN buv additional bonds. And In TINS
way the currency OF the country would
ne increased beyond the 10 per cent.
However. we do not think the senate
will concur in the House bill. and in mat
case the bill would die with this Con-
gress.
Great opposition to the Johnson bill may
be expected to come from gentlemen VINO
are sincerely of the belief that 1t wouiu
not be nearly so efficacious in relieving
The peoples distress as a free-silver bill
would be. They may be disposed to re-
gard il as a sly scheme to 'side-track'
silver.
Bills similar to Mr.. Johnson's have
been before Congress time and again
during the past twenty years, and nave
hitherto not commanded very much at
tention. That the House was willing TO
take favorable action at this time may be
fairly ascribed to the sentiment in favor
of more currency aroused by last years
campaign.
Against the bill itself no objection can
be urged. other than the objection that
has all along been urged against the ma
tional-bank system; but, as we have said.
we doubt if the measure can be reached
in the Senate at this session. And.
though it may be revived by the House
at the next regular session, it will have
to pass the gauntlet of our free-silver
friends opposition. and that of the
friends of the State-bank system.
we say AT the UtAl I6Suieii SSSSiOii
because we believe it is understood that
Speaker Reed will allow no business but
tariff business to be transacted at the
extra session. His authority, real and
assumed. is so great that, If he thus de-
crees. his decree will quite certainly be
executed and this, too. though ma
jority Of members may wish otherwise.
SO at present we see no great prospect
that Congress will agree to repeal the
1O-per-cent. tax upon national banks, and
inaugurate a State-banlI system That
does not appear to be in the Republican
programme, and the Speaker will hardly
consent to any legislation Of financial
! character that is not first approved by
his party.
However, we need not disturb ourselves
much about this matter just now. As
we have said, there is no probability OF
action until Congress assemblies in regu-
lar session, in December. BY that time,
possibly. the plans Of the Republicans
may be wiser and clearer than they now
appear to be.

Sad was the heart of the fair white rose,
AS the summer slipped away
She had been wooed by the singing piru'
The bee. and the butterfly.
But never a chord of her heart was stirred
TIL she heard the west wind sigh.
She leaned on tie trellis, fair and sweet,
With the laughing leaves above.
AS he glided In with his noiseless feet
And whispered his tales OF love.
A rollicking, restless rover he;
he waif of salt-sea brine.
And only a white, white rose was she,
The last OF her royal line.
lie kissed the lips OF the rose In bloom.
And alas. Alack-a day!
She was despolled OF her rare perfume,
For the wind will have rs way.

to meet the current expenses of the city,
pay salaries, and wages, etc, pending
the passage Of the budget for the fiscal
year. There were thirteen members
present and. when the measure had been
read. Colonel Cutchins stated that he did
not see why the committee should not
be directed to borrow $4,000. instead of
5000 600. and continue to owe the sinking
fund the 10000, which it was contem-
plated TO pay out of the proceeds from
the temporary loans.
Mr.. Hardwicke, chairman OF the
Finance Committee, and a member OF

because, in its opinion, the injuries COM

of a fellow-servant. and because the
damages were excessive. The plalntin
claimed that the proximate cause OF his
injuries was the failure of the company

ries. The verdict Of the jury was
