It appears to be dawning on the minds of European statesmen that ap- palling dangers might arise from the armament and equipment of the Ori- ental peoples with modern weapons of destruction. It is estimated that China could readily put in the field an army of from million to five mill lions of men. If these troops were provided with modern rifles and ef- fective artillery, it eau readily be seen that China would be impregnable be- cause of the overwhelming numbers 1t could command. It would be q singular result of the greed for wealth if Germany, ;n the event of war with China, sh0 find the latter using against it's invaders the arms and am- munitions of war 20 semi-civiliZed na sions is agitating the English parlia ment and not long since an attempt was made to pass a bill in that body placing limitations on the exports of military upplies.--Leslie's

CONVENTION A PARTY ISSUE.
(Richmond Dispatch.)

From the begin ming, the constitu-
tional convention has been party issue
A Democratic Legislature proposed it
A Democratic State convention fathered
it. At the polls, Democratic votes de
creed that the convention should be
called. On the other hand, the Re-
publicans ever have opposed it. That
party always has been satisfied with
the Underwood Constitution; though
the majority OF them were disappointed
that the DISTINGUISHING clauses were
not retained in it, when the people at
the polls were called upon to pass upon
the instrument.
1t was not the fault Of their masses
that these clauses were stricken out.
They are making mighty ado now
about our proposing to restrict "nsgro
suffrage" but what they tried to do
was to disfrancbise thousands Of the
best and bravest men in Virginia.
Hence we cannot be surprised to find
that they are going to do everything
they can to defeat the objects Of the
constitutional convention. They are
going to fight US everywhere there is
the slightest prospect Of success, in
testimony whereof witness the following
resolution adopted by the Republican
State Committee at its meeting here
night before last;
"Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this committee that the Republicans
of Virginia, in the approaching election
of delegates to the constitutional con-
ventior, to be held on the 18th day OF
June Of this year, for the purpose Of
framing q new organic law. should
make a determined contest in every
legislative districts in the State where
the local authorities of the party shall,
after conference, determine that We
have a fair chance OF success, the
questions of candidates and the mode
Of nomination to be left to the local
committees in every case.
Resolved, further, That the State
chairman be requested to issue an ad-
dress along this line at once to the Ro-
publicans OF Virginia"
So the Republicans are showing
their hands. Very good. Democrats
must now show theirs.
For thirty years the Democrats OF
this Slate have let slip no opportunity
to condemn the Underwood Constitu-
ton. Were they honest and sincere I
II SO, they must wish to have control
Of the convention; if so, there is real
work for Q constitutional convention to
do.
In the very nature Of things. the
lection Of delegates 10 q party question.
as the Democratic doctrine ID
hat the Underwood Constitutions needs
evision and amendment. while the Re-
,ublican doctrine is that it is a salts
actory instrument.

CONSTITUTIONAL AND COUNTY
CONVENTIONS.
EDITOR OF GAzETrx:

EDITOR OF GAzETrx:
read an article in The GAZETTE, by
a gentleman from Rockbridge Baths,
which, by the way, is q very sensible
and well written article, anil l hope The
gentleman will net corstfue any in
situations on my part, because there ID
a difference CT opinion between us, as
every man has q right 10 his opinion,
and ! only wish to call attention to
certain things.
I do not think it advisable to dictate
to the men to be selected to the con-
stitutional convention what they should
or should not do. They should be left
to act as they think best. If they are
to 90 by our instructions, we had as
well amend the Constitution ourselves,
and thus save some expense by not
having a convention. What we want
is the election of men to that conven
ton who are thoroughly capable and
level headed, more conscientious and
fearless than the majority Of US are,
honest, who will be just to all classes
and parties, partial to none. We don't
want one-sided Constitution; that is
just what we want to get rid off, We
want men who will act according to
the dictates of their conscience, without
fear OF offending some constituent and
thereby lose his vote at some future
time when he might be candidate
for some Office. We don't want any
aspirants for the honor, but men, who
will he an honor to the constitutional
convention. We should not allow our
selves to be influenced by personal or
sectional feelings, but nominate and
elect the best men we can, no matter
from what portion Of the county-Lex-
lngton, Buena Vista or any OF the
magisterial districts,
I consider il best that none should
announce himself as candidate. Men
who ought to go to the convention are
men who would not seek the honor, and
would not care to announce themselves
as candidates, al 1t should not be
pressed upon them to do so. I'll
guarantee that the men who get the
nomination, if patriots, will accept,
unless prevented by some satisfactory
reason. No others are wanted.
/ have seen and talked with men
from every portion OF the county lately
and all seem much interested in the
convention, and anxious to select che
most suitable men, and to let every
thing rest with them. I am certain
the majorlcy have settled upon one as
a delegate to the convention. The
sentiment at present Is divided as to
the other delegate.
We should look to sending no dele
gates 10 the county convention who are
prejudicei men. But il we elect all
true men, the county convention will
two men who will be an
honor TO the convention.
Besides those already mentioned as
suitable candidates suggest two more |
James A. Quarle,, Of
Washington and Lee University, and
Hon. Mathew White Paxton, either OF
whom would make q delegate that
would be en- honor to the convention.
[ mention these in addition, for the |
voters to reflect upon before our PR.
maries meet.

Virginia Republicans say the recent
meeting of the State Committee of their
party in Richmond shows it to be in
better condition now than for many
previous years, and that it will make a
determined fight for strong minority
in The constitutional convention, and
will do so with bright prospects OF
success, They do not talk 30 hope
fully of the gubernatorial contest, but
sy ex-Congressman Walker, of the
Ninth district, Is very popular in his
own district. and may possibly head
their ticket in that fight.

citizens. Wrat their decision will be

During the session Of the Unite /

the grand jury, after finishing their
labois, were polled as to their choice
for Governor among the candidates
now prominently before the people.
The result was: Echols, 3; Monta-
que, 20; Swanson, These men were
from about twenty counties; and, while
their preference is but a straw in the
political wind, it indicates the direction
Of the gubernatorial current.

| ton, Professor Benjamin Silliman, who
spent several months there, then being con

I Here are countless millions Of tons OF

cation Of the hydraulic process, while the
entire bed OF the Rio Grandt for over 40
miles is a sluice, on the bars Of which the

countless ages and now lies ready for ex-
traction by the most approved methods Of

| 600 feet, or nearly three times that Of the
| like beds in California, while the average
value per cubic yard is believed to be gre tier

such accumulations yet discovered.
II have made reconnaissance Of the whole
OF this gravel along the Rlo Grande, and
have examined with all the care possible in
the time at my command the character OF
the gravel and its contents OF gold. Moth
ing am persuaded since the discovery Of
