THE Baltimore American says the
number of leading democrats in the
South who are endorsing the course OF
the administration and opposing the
folles of Organism is increasing every
day, and mentions Mr.. w. l.. Will
son and Generals Rosser, Wheeler,
Lee, Longstreet and Colonel Mosby, as
among that number. That Mr.. Wilson
is among them be has taken pains to
DENY. General Rosser was an ultra
democrat a few years ago. General
Longstreet has been a republican for
years. General Wheeler is a retired
officer of the U. s. army, and General
Lee is an active officer in that army,
and whether Colonel Mosby is a sup
porter of the administration is not
known here. The leading democrats
of the South the Baltimore paper re-
fers to, exist only in its imagination.

expressed fear of a general collapse Of
all their stocks and bonds, and q finsn-

ruin upon the country, as the necessary

would, if they still have the sense that
enabled them to acquire those bonds

prevailing high rate in gold, and lock
that up and wait for the high price it
would bring.

WRIT OF ERROR GRANTED.-Circuii
Judge Robert K. Prentis, sitting in the
chamber at Suffolk yesterday, gIan ed q
writ of error in the case of Justice Or.
vile l. Fleming, OF Princess Anne coun
", convicted of murder in the County
Court there and given 14years in States
prison. Judge White presided at the
trial. One OF the reasons why a writ OF
error was granted and Fleming gets an
other chance is that the ury failed to
say in their verdict of what degree OF
murder Fleming had been convicted.
The crime with which Fleming was
charged caused considerable excitement
around Norfolk city and Princess Anne
country last spring. Fleming was q
magistrate. Clarence Snyder, a young
white man, vent cunning on FlemiOg's
farm. Snyder was found dead and
Fleming was accused of the killing.
Fleming claimed that be was shooting
at bird and that the killing of Snyder
was accidental. Much feeling was
aroused 10 the neighborhood and there
was an indication Of personal violence
from the crowd, which was not satisfied
with Fleming's story. Fleming went
to Norfolk and procured stock ofarms
and ammunition. He fortified himself
at home and said he was not afraid.
The trial was very largely attended.

SECRETARY GAGE asks, "what Will be
the effect of the continued agitation OF
the silver question upon business and
industry, set in motion by President
bent upon the restoration of free silver
at the ratio of 16 to and elected upon
that platform ?" Four years ago, wise
men knew that the silver question
would not down; that a large number
of people desired free silver and would
not be satisfied until they had tried its
effect, and that it would be better to
test it then, and stop the uncertainty
respecting it. But the gold men said
no; there should be no such test. Be-
hold the result And il the people be
again denied that trial, they will de-
mand it four years hence, and the same
business depression will exist then.
