Virginia Legislature has appro priated $3,000 for the purpose of pro ving artltleial limbs, or commutation therefor, to the citizens of the State who lost limbs in the ConHUerate ser vice. The Virginia Treasury is marly bankrupt There are only about $25,- 000 In It. But the taxes will come in next month, and the wheels of the State will thus roll on in their ever lusting course. ■ —— "The report that Mr. Thurman will participate in the canvass In Ohio this year Is confirmed.” We believe Mr. Thurman will las the next President of the United Htates. It is hardly necessary to add, we hope so. Fkkmoh Materialists.- -At the fune ral services of M. Qulnet, M. Gambet ta, the President of the French Re public during the communistic war, made a speech. So did Victor Hugo and Henri Brlsson. The conclusion is that these Radical loaders made the funeral of the great Qulnet a po litical and social event. We do not like this element of French civiliza tion. Thk advance In gold from lOfi to llfi, with the tendency to a still further In crease, Is a good illustration of the wisdom of the law which was |>assod by the last Republican Congress, to resume specie payments by the equal ization of the value of gold and of greenbacks. It is a fine specimen of Republican financial legislation. ...... S It is calculated that there are $500,- 000,000 of railroad bonds in this coun try which have ceasod temporarily or permanently to pay their interest. These bonds are held pretty widely over the world, though the great bulk of them must be In the hands of peo ple in this country, Great Britain and Germany. Ahthi.'k Bingham has retired from the Alabama Stale Journal. He is no longer State Treasurer, and cannot afford to run a Itadieal [taper. It is a little singular, the dose sympathy that exists between a Itadieal news paper and a Radical office. It is just as much an impossibility to run a Radical newspaper without un office as it Is run an office without a news paper. The Huts ani> tub Guay. Hy invi tation of General Pennypaekor, Fed eral Commandant at Nashville, Gov ernor Porter, an ex-Confoderato offi cer, reviewed the troops at Ash Bar racks on the 11th. The novelty of tho scene attracted a crowd of be tween live and eight thousand people to the grounds. On the appeurance of Governor Porter and his civilian staff tho band struck up ‘‘Hull to the Chief,” followed by the National air, creating a groat deal or enthusiasm. The event was looked upon most auspiciously by everybody present. (I. a. Marshal lor Alabama. Since the vacancy in tho office of United States Marshal for the South ern District of Alabama, there have been many loyal uspirantsfor the po sition. Petitions have been sent urg ing the fitness, capacity, and loyalty of various men. The last Is a tele graphic i>otition to the President in lterson, to appoint one Hey man. The petition is only signed by tho officers and men garrisoning Opelika. Hey raan is loyal enough, and with the above endorsement, he will likely get tho position. Now, when he gets the place, and with that little squad of Yankee soldiers to back him, our friends across tho river will be an noyed no little. Wild Lands. In the advertising columns will bo found a notion from Hon. W. Lt Oold smith, Comptroller floncral, that will be found interesting to the public, and a fair wurning to tar receivers. From it the public will understand they can give in their wild lands in the county of their residence. It is especially necessary that the tax receivers of the various counties should exercise an extra caution to get the numbers right, else confusion will occur that the Comptroller can not possibly avert. Col. Goldsmith is hard at work now in the interest of the people in trying to remedy the defects in the last returns. He hopes to get the matter fixed up, and thus save trouble and litigation. The owners of wild lands have been in dulged thirty days, but by thut time all.must pay taxes on the wild lands, or they will be sold. For the benefit of our correspond ents we ollp tho following: Newspaper By-Jjaws.— Be brief. This is the age of telegraphs ami stenography.

Don Piatt Is 56 and a lawyer. Tell It not to Oath. Tbr Trndrnr) to Hot* from the Country to the Town*. it is truo that this is the tendency lof civilization, the world oVor; but various causes bring about this result. In Great Brituln, the fact that less ! than forty thousand people own all J the land, and the further fact that one-half of all the arable land is sown to grass crops, explain why the ; masses seek the manufacturing cen tres. In France, owing to the system jof small holdings—the average farm being less than five acres and to tho fact that the French i>eople scarcely ever emigrate from France, the ten dency to flock to Paris and other cities is due to another cause. Tho scarcity of landlh proportion to those entitled by law to become land holders by hereditary right—the French law being the very opposite of the law of primogeniture—forces many of the young men in every community to leave the farm to the family and seek their living in the cities. Hence the perfection of French manufactures, and the elaborate at tention paid to the details in every business connected with manufac tures or architecture. It was to give employment to this restless class of the population which caused Napo leon 111. to build the line quarters and splendid boulevardes of Paris. In this country, however, the result must be traced to a different cause. The South has always been an agri cultural country, and the majority of Its people, prior to the war, either lived In, or had their means invested In, the country. Tho New York World truly says: “The drift of population from the farms to the towns lias steadily con tinued and still continues, for the simple reason that the vices of idle ness and pilfering in which Radical agitators have encouraged the ne groes have in many sections made planting not only the least profitable but one of the most hazardous indus tries in which capital and the labor of the capitalist could be invested. In tho central belt of Alabama, Mis sissippi and Louisiana there are few men who see a fair prospect of earning u living in any other employ ment, but desert cotton plantations as more vexatious and uncertain than profitable.” " Whore there is a surplus of land good, fertile land—for sale at one tenth its money value before the war, this moving from farms to towns, of a people ignorant of any mode of j making a living oxeept by agricul j ture, is explicable in no other xvay | than by bud government. Political economy loses itself in a mist of the ories when it seeks to apply rules, that are correct in densely peopled Europe, to sparsely populated Amer ica. Es|>ecially is this true when all the, power and influence of the Cen tral Government has been brought to bear against the material interests of the South. Worse, far worse than the subsidy exacted by Prussia from France, is the malignant legislation which owes its paternity to the Cain like malice of Senator Morton. AHHtWMtN. M. NORDHOFF’s THIRD LETTER CONDENSED Arkansas is us peaceable us New York or Massachusetts, and far more so than Pennsylvania, Union men, white and black, are secure in life, property, and political rights. There have been no appeals to the Federal Commissioners under the Enforce ment. Acts, hence there bos not been the violence and political nssussina tious reported last winter. In March 1869, a ku-klux law of dangerous se verity was adopted. It prescribed a penalty of SSOO fine, and from one to ten years in the penitentiary, and forbade the member of such society to be a juror before or a witness after oonviction. In February 1873, the Republican reeonstructionlsts adopted a civil rights aot much stronger than that passed by Congress. The rights of voters are thoroughly protected. There are now 160 colored justices of the peace in the State, ninety-five constables," twenty-nine sheriffs and county clerks, assessors and county surveyors, one militia field officer and eleven militia compa ny officers. The Enrolling Clerk was a negro, and he was chosen by a Democratic House; the door keeper also, and colored Representatives went from the counties of Lee, Philips and Jefferson. Arkansas has 120,000 voters, of whom 65,000 are Democrats and 55,000 Republicans. Of tiie latter to,ooo are colored men. The Garland (Democratic) party see the necessity, politically, of a moder ate and just policy and of general conciliation. The color line is broken. The old planters will in the long run secure a large share of the negro vote.

He goes to take charge of the Cathedral Church in Indianapolis. His many friends in Columbus will follow his future course with interest. No minister has ever stamped his intellectual power more fully upon his congregation than did Dr. Fulton during his stay here as Rector of Trinity Church. We expect to see him made it: Bishop yet.

Ford, Mrs. St. John Moore, and Mrs. John M. Clark, of the Ladies’ Memorial Association of Au gusta, laid tho tirst seven bricks in the Confederate Monument in that city on Tuesday. The foundation will be reaily for the corner stone on Me morial Day. Tur. New York Herald’s dispatches concerning a F,uro|>e*n war sums up the following conclusions: 1. The great Chancellor’s mind seems to be somewhat feebiod. 2. Russia’s sympathies are with Prussia; Invincible In defense she Is unprepared for a war of Invasion. 3. England needs a German alliance in order to protect British India from Russian encroachment. Great Britain will fight for Belgium. 4. Germany gained nothing in the j last war but discontented provinces., fl. Franco is to-day more prosperous j ami richer than Germany. C. Owing to religious dissensions, Germany will have to keep a large army at home, even in ease of foreign | war. There are many things in the above j conelusions that an Impartial mind will hesitate toac eept. Bismarck has never in his life acted from im pulse. He is a political chess-player and lays his plans years before he executes them. There is a consisten cy in his scheming that smacks of “method in his madness.” England j has guaranteed the neutrality of Bel gium, and this act, together with the most obvious reasons, will make Russia side with Germany. We do not believe France is richer than Germany. The German Empire can not stand still and continue her im mense armament. She must either reduce her army or engage in further attempts at conquost. The auto cratic character of the government is offensive to a large body of her peo ple. Oxford and f nmbrldsr. According to a report of a royal commission appointed by Mr. Glad stone, while premier, to ascertain the property of the English Universities, j It. ap]>ears that the joint annual in-: come of Oxford and Cambridge for 1871 was $3,772,030, and their expen- j ditures during the same period $3,- 105,890. Two features of the existing university system are dwelt upon as matters of regret. Those are the two great pretensions of tho smaller col leges and the manner in which fel lowships are awarded. It appears that tho two universities expend sl,- 020,736 annually in payments to their fellows, who are thus placed in easy circumstances for life, in considera tion of having passed, ut the age of twenty-one or twenty-two, a good ex amination. The holder of a fellow ship is under no responsibility to the university except thut. he cannot be married without forfeiting his posi tion. At Cambridge every fellow is entitled, in his turn, to the refusal of any living that may fall vacant. It is now urged that the tenure of fel lowship should be made to depend upon continuance of scholarly work. Another evil, that of the small col leges, is one thut will Ik- appreciated in this country. A college at either university may have thirty under graduates or five hundred, yet the smallest considers it essential to muintain as complete an organization of tutors, lecturers, deuns, prielec tors, master and bursar as the larg est, and it provider a perfect lectur ing staff, even though the leeturer finds hut one or two who care to hear him. This is the same waste of power which resullsfrom the multiplication of petty institutions calling them selves colleges in this country, and which dissipate upon many small ob jects what, if united, would build up great seat* of learning. The idea advanced by the Trustees of our State University was a good one. The unification of all our col leges under the lead of the Universi ty, and subordinate to it, is a compre hensive scheme. If done, it should be modeled after the English system which the editor of the Savannah News condemns in the extract given above, exception being taken to the various officers, and others, appoint ed more in consonance with our in stitutions. - ♦ • TliimictitK tur southern (VntrnnlaliMtH, To those Southern men who gush over the approaching Centennial, we commend the following account of a debate which took place in Chicago, when a meeting of citizens was pre paring for the reception of the “Grand Army of the Republic,” which will meet in that city next month. Gen. Stiles submitted tho following resolution as bearing upon this sub ject : ■ “Resolved, That a general Invita tion be extended to all surviving sol diers of the late war throughout the country, east, west, north and south, to meet with us at tho forthcoming re-union, and that the committee on invitation be instructed to extend personal invitations, as far ns practi cable, to such of them as in the opin ion of the committee, have national reputations as soldiers.” hen. McArthur was opposed to the invitation of soldiers who fought on the other side. Col. Ricaby moved the adoption of the resolution. Gen. White was in favor of making all men loyal to the American Hag, and therefore he moved the following amendment: “All soldiers and sailors of the late war who regard the flag of the United States as the emblem of nationality undivided and indivisible.” Mayor Colv in believed that he was as strong a union man as any in the room, and he was prepared to extend the right hand of fellowship to all soldiers ready to tight under the American flag. [Applause.] Ho wished .an amendment made to this effect. Col. Cameron supported the motion ; ] and hoped that it would be passed without amendment. He regretted i having heard the sentiments ex i pressed which had been expressed on i this occasion. Mayor Colvin swore by the eternal God that he would not meet a rebel at this re union. Gen. Cameron, wtio in the mean- i I time had vacated the chair, spoke in favor of the amendment of General White. The motion, os amended by ! Gen. White, was adopted. The above is a pretty good illustra-1 tion of ostracism at the North, to all j Southerners who go among them. 1 We are satisfied that notwithstanding i the assertions of these dead-beats and ! bomb-proof marauders, that a large j number at the North would lie glad to meet the South, and shake hands ' over the "bloody chasm.” liIAVT. Gkast asp Blaine.— The Philadel- ' phia Citi'onidf’ says “Grant will i neither forgive nor forget. He has i been beaten out of his third term project, but that will not help Blaine I a morsel. Ho may secure the Presi-j dentinl nomination, but with it he j will have not only the indifference, ] but in all reasonable probability the j open enmity of the man who, to-day, I wields the immense patronage of the Government, and who is imbued with u vindictiveness ut spirit thut will ; prompt him to use it unsttaringly I against the man or men who have j dared to cross Ids path. I Third Tkum. Tin- Atlanta Ilcrnld j says: Day after day it becomes j more certain that Grant is the man I the Democratic party will have to light. He is stronger ’with ills party than any other man. In Connecticut, Hawley and Kellogg were both op posed to the third term, Starkweather ruvored it. The latter was elected, j and the two first were beaten. The Republican party stands pledged by ! precedent if not by promise to the ; third term. But there is still later insult to the ! whole nation in the api>ointment of J. Madison Wells to the surveyor-! j ship of the Port of New Orleans. ! Wells is President of the Louisiana j Returning Board, and he has been i t wice reported to Congress, by com mittees sent to examine into the mat ter, as being guilty of the grossest frauds ui>on the people of Louisiana. Indeed a resolution to thut effect j passed Congress unanimously. Im mediately after this, President Grant appoints him to a high and lucrative j office. Comment is unnecessary.— | Wash inylon Chronicle. Du Prlrr* I-lillnw tlir Volume of l ur rr Hi ) 7 The chief charge made against a sufficient Government currency is that any addition to a circulating medium now plainly insufficient would send prices into the air and all business into confusion. Stuart Mill says that “bank notes, bills or cheeks, as such, do not act on prices at all. What does act on prices is credit.” Bonamy Price says that this last “is u fundamental truth of immense im portance in currency; it kills off at ouce a multitude of empty theories about inilations of bank notes which exiand circulation and small prices.” The tables of Anrnsa Walker, care-' fully collated for tho purpose of showing that prices follow thevol-l time of currency, conclusively show j that they do not." The Massachusetts Labor Bureau reports that within u named period food, clothes and shel ! ter rose forty-three ]ier cent, at Law rence, and skilled labor there rose seventy-six per cent., currency re maining unchanged. Wendell Phil lips has written a letter to the Boston Advertiser upon this point. Stephen Colwell, of Philadelphia, says that the quantity of money “is one of the least influential causes operating on prices,” that “large issues of hank notes do not necessarily enhance prices.” Mr. Phillips reminds ns that such men as Sir James Stewart, Adam Smith, Taurens, Lauderdale, I Malthus, Ricardo, and even McCul loch have repudiated the theory that tho volume of currency determines the magnitude of prices. Arthur Young and Thomas Tooke, more em inent authorities, have pronounced more emphatically than any others that “the quantity of the currency is not a controliug regulator of prices.” But the grand argument to be made upon tins issue, which Mr, Phillips j incontestably makes, is that under I our present financial regime it is the . batik men, and not directly the Gov ernment, that should beheld respon sible for inflation of prices and any consequent disasters. The bankers and the National bankers are tiie. Uuctuators. Of this we may speak at another time.— Cincinnati Enquirer. We believe that it is directly the Government that should be held re sponsible for all disasters dependent j upon its financial system. If sound principles had prevailed Jay Cooke could never have run his mad career to its close. It was a bad Govern ernment which adopted the system of National banks with their huge monopolies. AVhether prices follow tho volume of currency is a theory not yet conclusively decided. Njuple Payment*. Washington, April 9. It is evident that the Secretary of the Treasury is disposed to do all in his power to put the country in train for specie pay-1 meats. As to the silver resumption ; clause of tho great finance act of last session, it, will amount to little or ] nothing. But as it is regarded in I some sense us mandatory, the Score- I turyis making all props rations to car- i ry out its provisions. He is aocuinu- i luting silver bullion for coinage, and 1 the new silver pieces will soon be j turned out from the mint in large : quantities. Nothing will be easier j train for the Secretary to put out his silver coin, but under present circum- i stances it will be utterly impossible for him to keep it in circulation. The coin will be at a premium and will be sold to the refiners or be exiKirted. Tho only way in which silver coin can Ik* kept in circulation is by withdraw ing and destroying the fraetional.eur reney in such an amount as to create a necessity for small change. The Secretary seems to understand this, for lie has been steadily cancelling the fractional currency. Lost month more than SBOO, OOO of fractional cur rency was withdrawn and destroyed. The present amount outstanding is something over forty-four million dollars, anil the Seqfetary will have to withdraw some million’s more be fore he can think of issuing his silver.
