RATE CUTTING GALORE. The Seaboard Air Line vs. the Southern Railway. BALTIMORE. July 15.-the war be? tween the Baltimore Steam Packet company and the Seaboard Air Line p* on the one side and the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Richmond Steam? boat company and the Southern Rail way company on the other is becom? ing hot. r?he latter companies re? cently put on a line of steamers be? tween Baltimore and Norfolk, in * vading the steam packet eomany's (Old Bay Line) exclusive territory home slight cuts in rates are also alleged to have been made Today the steam packet company retaliated. In connection with its ally, the Seaboard Air Line, it an? nounced a sweeping iedncticn in all rates, and extending to all the prin? cipa! southern cities. In addition to tbe cut rates, the steam packet com? pany will, beginning next Friday, ron steamers between Baltimore and Richmond, Ya. by way of the Ches? apeake bay and James river, thereby invading the territory heretofore ex elusively controlled by the Southern Railway company. Ba'.t?moreans are large holders in tbe Seaboarp Air Line and the Steam Packet company and they state, through their officers, that they will ' drive the Southern Railway company out of their territory or force them to carry passengers and freight for notb ing.

In response to an inquiry the direc? tor of the mint has given in a few words, certain facts relative to tbe value of the gold coins of the United States. Any gold coin that has lost none ot its. weight by abrasion or --otherwise is worth ita former face value when melted into a lump The Government makes no charge for coining gold whee tba bullion is of standard fineness nine parts gold and one part copper. < Wheo the bullion requires refining the Government makes a charge equal to ,_ tbe cost of that process, and makes ao additional charge of two cents an ounce for the copper used as alloy. The in? trinsic value of every perfect gold coin is precisely tbe same as that indicated v^. by the Government stamp which it bears. Free coinage of silver wculd intro? duce precisely the same set of facts re? garding silver dollars. A full-weighted silver dollar would be worth a dollar wheo melted into hallion. A worn dollar would be worth only so much ss y4 the proportion which its weight might bear to the original weight of 412 1-2 grain 8. The differeoee betwwen those who favor and those who oppose free coin? age is this: The "silver men" main? tain that if both gold and silver were tc be admitted to the mint ou equal terms, both kinds of di ll irs would still be of equal value. The 'gold standard" party holds that wheo a gold dollar would buy silver enough to make a dollar and a half or more, silver alone would be coined, and ali who bad gold would demand a premium for it. The silver men beleive that treating the two metals alike would make their values not merely when coined, but in form of bull oo-that which is fixed by the coinage law. The gold standard party does not beleive that this would be the effect. Winthr?p Scholarships. b A fine opportunity for the young women of the State to secure a col? lege education will be given on July 30, when the competitive examina? tions for the Winthrop scholarships j will be held in the court houses in different counties.
