It is told of Gen. James A. Walker, the Conservative candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, that while a cadet of the Virginia Military Institute he chal lenged his preceptor, Major T. J. Jack THE CONVENTION AND THE AT TORNEY URNERAE.' We publish la thie issue, as copied from the Constitution, the opinion of the At torney General, mentioned in onr epecial dispatches of yesterday. He appears to decidedly believe that the Treasurer bae no authority to pay over to the order cf the Convention any emu beyond the $25,000 appropriated by tbe Legislature for the purpose. Our epecial telegram states that the decision meets with s va riety of opinions in tbe Convention. Cer tainly tbe members care very little for the Attorney’s opinion of the matter, for thoy are moving ahead as quietly and la boriously and oarefnlly as If the legs! ad viser of the State Government had not touched pen to paper, or even dreamed of tbo qneetion. To those not posted on law and preoedent, who have read tbe Attorney General’s elaborately prepared paper, and to those who take common eense views of questions, the whole snb- jeot appears in a very Indiorons light. Here is a large number of strong and in fluential men eleoled to make a new Constitution for tbe State, and are considering one of the most impor tant features of tbe proposed ohangea, when steps to the front tbe Treasurer, advised by tbe Attorney General, and states that tbe body most adjonrn, or tbe members work for nothing. That is tbo present abnnrd position. Treasurer lien- froe bss stated he will be guided by tbe Attorney General. When asked what be would do in oase tbe Convention endeav ored to compel him to pay an additional snm, tbe $25,000 having been expended, be answered, “The patriotism and good sense of the gontlemen composing snoh body wonld prevent any attempt at com pulsion, exoept through tho courts and to tbeir decision I should most obeerfnlly bow." The Convbntion YESTBRnAV.— Permis sion was given tne Legislatnre to regulato tho tariffs of railroad, if the body so de sired. Tbo prosont General Assembly oeases with tbe adoption of tbo new Constitution, wbioli will be submitted to the people on the first Wednesday in Dsoomber, at whioh time a now Legislature will he elected to meet Novomber, 1878, and biennially thereafter. The aubjoot of artificially oolored sugars bss not yet been fully investigated by tbe Tronsnry Department, but roports have been rocoivod from somo of tbo experts to whom tbo sugars bave been submitted, oud they ooncur in tbo opinion that tbe ooloring matters in the sugars has a for- eigu substance introduced for the purpose of rodnoing tbo standard and evading the revenues, tbe sugars being of tbe high est quality of crystallized centrifugal sugars, polurizing from 34 to 36 per oent. of pnro saochurine matter. If this class of sugar is allowed to pass at tbe lowest rale of duty and ia to be manufactured into refined sugar for export, all the oal- oulatiouH heretofore made dr to tbo proper amount of drnwbaok to be paid apon refined sugar exported will bavo to be revised. In 1872 fifty-seven per oent. of sugar imports wuh classed at above tec Dutch standard, while only sixteen and three-quurlera per oent. of the importa tions wero so olsssod in 1876. The Beoretary of the Indiana Btate Grunge thinks the present good orops will revive tbe membership of the granges, which bss deoreased some 5,000 during the past year, members being suspended for failure to pay (heir duos. Tbe State agency wan elosed because its expanses wero paid by the Btate Grange, and had becomo very heavy. Daring the two years of its aontinuanoe its buRiuesB had amounted to nearly a million dollars. Its Tax United Btatee Supreme court has recently rendered a very important deci sion in a snit brought against tbe Now Jersey Lifs Insurance Company apon a policy which tbe company sought to make void after death because of an alleged false statement. It was in evidocce that two of the assured party's family had died of pulmonary disease, and that in rnakiog tha nanal statement in her application for insurance it was said by the insured that there wte s doubt sbont it, as the physi cians had disagreed. Tbe agent wrote down the answer to thie spe cial question, "don’t know,” and tbe applicant signed it witbont read ing. The Coart held that tbe agent had oonstrned tbe answers given, that the company was responsible for its agent’s set, and that the company was liable up on tbe poiioy for tbe amount iDsnred. Workingmen who complain that their wages are insnf&oient to meet their ex penses should remember that Republican tariff legislation has crippled the purchas ing power of tha dollar. In the one mat ter of medicines alone, which every work ingman has to buy, he is obliged to con tribute his share of the $3,000,000 evory year to the manufacturers of drugs oud ohemioals, who are “proleoted" from competition by tbe “protiotivo tariff." On the single article of quinine alone, which is so largely used in this oountry, tbe workingmen bave to help pay the manufacturers $100,000 per month, be- cause these privileged characters must be protected from low-priced foreign qui nine. The Com.lock Lode. A general review of tbe working of the Gomstook lode in Novads gives some in teresting fsots. This lode is tbe seat of all the great mines, tweuty in number, operated in Nevada; it ombraoos all the bonanzas whose riobes hsve caused so rauoh talk in the world end so uinoh ex- citing speculation on the Fncifio coast. The lode was discovered seventeen years ago, and explored and worked with a dili gence and energy that only tbo insatiable thirst for gold oonld inspire. Its lowest levels now are 2,200 feet, nearly half a mile below the surface,and by means of di amond drills,the nature of tbe rook several hundred feet below that is known. Of the twenty mines in the lode, the Consoli dated Virginia and California have been the most productive, its yield of bullion having been $67,168,376; next comes the Crown Point and Beloliar, with a yield of $58,110,240; next tbe Gould A Curry and Bavage, with $30,881,307; tbe Gold Hill, with $26,340,762; tbe Chollor-Polosi, with $13,385,415; the Yellow Jacket, Kentnok and Crown Point, willi $13.383,. 008; tho Hale end NororoBS, with $7,822,- 233; the Oobir No. 1, with $5,548,000; tbo Ophir No 2, with $5,210,000, and others with similar yields—tbe eggregnte amount of bullion turned out being $235,- 360,000. To prodnoe this, 5,353,843 toDs of ore have been lifted to tbe surface and reduced, tbo average yield per ton being $33 40. Of the whole yeld about 40 por oent., or $34,144,000, lias been gold, and 60 per oent., or $141,- £16,000, silver. It is generally believed that tbe cream of the lode has been drawn off and the deposit nearly worked out; there is still s large amount of ore, 500,- 000 tons, it ia estimated, worth about $12 a ton, untouched, wbioh may be worked at a profit after the Sutro tunnel shall have been oompleted; and it is pos sible (hat prospecting from the tunnel may reveal new and rioh deposits at s still lower depth; but tbe lode has been failing for s year past, and it is tbe opinion that it has seen its best days. NEW TORE, UKPOllTEn TBOUBLE between TBE FOUU AND POOR AND A HALF FEB OENT. HYNDIOATE— SECRETARY SHERMAN SAID TO UE IN OON RP1RAOY WITH THE BANKERS. New York, August 15.— The Sun RRys: It is rumored in financial circles that there was trouble brewing between the Becrn tary of tbe Treasury, Bbermsn, and tbe 4 per oent. loan syndioa eon one side.and oertain National Banks and prominent banking houses on the other. It was place has been filled by tho co operative hinted that Sherman himself wasoonnect stores, whioh have been mostly Buocess- ftil, though somo havo failed. The 1,200 granges Dow in the Btato bavo a member ship of about 55,000. Tho Grangers gen erally sympathized with the strikers in their desire for bettor wsgos, but did not oountensnoe violence or law-breaking. The Evens rifle factory, at Meohanio Falls, Maine, is running on a new rifle whioh is in demaud in Uuaaiaand Turkey. The rifle ia novel, and radically differs from all othor inventions of tbe kiud. Like a oominuu nflo in appoarauoe and weight, it bas tbe capacity and simplicity of any two other rifles ever yet invonted. Tbo prinoiplo involved Ib a fluted roll in tbe breavh, msdo to revolve by tbe action of a lever, wbiob, by Ibe same motion, diBoliargos Ibe old cartridge and brings iuto place a now one, end ia oapable of containing thirty-four cartridges of regu lation oelibor and discharging them nil in eighteen seconds, or fitly cartridges a minute. Cuicaoo will soon bave a prinoely libra ry. One Walter L. Newberry, of that oity, left au estate valued at from $3, 000,000 to $5,000,000. His widow was to got $ 10,000 a year for life aud at her death, tbe ostate was (o bo divided, one half going to tho heirs anil half to tbe city for the establishment of a pnblie library. Mrs. Newberry bas elected to take her atatutory share of the estate, and tbe bvirs bave sued for and obtaiued an order for immediate distribution, so that in a very abort time, Cbioago will receive tbe portion coming to tbe city. Ex-BrzoiAt. Treasury Agent Moore pub lishes au open letter to tbo President which closes as follows: “Divested of all verbiage, 1 offer to convict Gen. H. V. Uoynton of haviug in his possession pa pers that were stolen from the reoorda of tbe Treasury, and, by threatening me with their publication, of attempting to extort from me a large Bum of money for their suppression. ’’ Moore has also addressed a letter to Secretary ,Bborman, requesting au investigation of tbe whole matter. Tux llslitimore Gaiette has a story of tbe probable retirement of Mr. John W. Garrett from tbe management of tbe Bal timore and Ohio liailroad, and tbe acces sion of Mr. William Keyset, now Second ed with tbe syndicate, and that as a result of n breach of faith on the part of Mor ton, Blisn A Oo. to tbeir reoent associates in tbe four and a half per cent, loan syn dieate, a suit has been begun against tbo firm. Color was given to tbe report by tbe faot that tbe four per oent.loan is now offered in open market at a price nearly one per oent. below tbe price at whioh it wsh subscribed for by tbe syndiosle. This makes it impossible for Sberman to osrry out at present bis soheme of funding the 6 per oents in 4 per oenta. MO SHIT BKQUN. In relation to tbo report of trouble brewing I etween tbe four per petitum loan—the syndicate on one side and cer tain national banks and prominent bank ers who belonged to the four and half per oentum loan syndicate, but wore excluded from tbe present loan syndicate on the other side—one of the interested parties sayB tbe ease is in tbe bands of lawyers but no snit has haen begun. Tbo Post says I here is no truth at all in tho preaent syudioate. The loweBt rate for four per oentum bonds has been 3 5 16, s tempo rary oonsequenoe of some speculation in Wall street. These bunds are to-day at par, and ovon slightly above par, and tbo proposed funding of six por centum bonds in four per oentum bonds will not be in the least affected by tbo present condition of things. Several of TBE AOOBIEVXD BANKEBS expressly asserted that their personal dif ficulties were nothing in comparison with tbe suooess of this loan, and that bad tbe loan been oonBidercd in the slightest peril by reason of these difficulties, the difficul ties would never hsve been mentioned. They were the last persona to do anything to impede Beoretary Sherman’s operations. It is believed in Wall street that the mo tive for publishing tronblea between Morton, llliaa A Go., and certaiu members of tbe old Syndioate ia really a political one, Ibe effort being to harass tbe Gov ernment in its offioiai poiioy.

Georgia hopes tbe letter may be a faot. Tbe bird promised Col. Alston a fortune by inheritance. Strange aa it may appear, tbe fortune portion may prove trne, for one J. E. Alston, of Boston, has died and left a fortune of $60,000, wbioh is to be divided among bis relatives in the Bouth, and $137,000 to those in Georgia and Bouth Carolina.

It will endoavor to supply its readers—a body now not far Irom a million of souls—with the most careful, complete and trustworty accounts of current events, and will employ tor this purpose a numerous and care fully selected stall of reporters and correspon dents. its reports from Washington, especial ly, will be lull, accurate and fearless; and It will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy t le hatred of those who thrive by plundering tho Treasury or by usurping what tbe law does not give thiin, while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of the publio by defending the rights of the people against the encroachments ‘ unjustified power.
