WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 6. Sksator Spescxb, of Alabama, predicts a tea jean' civil war, and has applied for a autlership. Gc5ER.iL Carrikqtobt writes a book and then peddles it Shoulder straps do not make op for a strapped pocket book. Oraki mw the ' fiah of the pistol" about a mile away from the point of danger. During the war he was usually about five miles away, and drank. ' Gkhkrai. SuiEMtM receives about $25,000 a year from the tax payers of America. John Sherman receives $3,000. One is a vampire, and the other Is a vampire, too. Thb Cincinnati Volkafreund, the largest and most influential German democratic paper in the west, is in favor of Thomas A. Hendricks for president in 1380. Hayek, the perjary Bcabbed president, haa attended a great many fairs, and his private secretary-is of the opinion that he can tell a short horned bull from a Cotswold sheep. "What the radicals want in South Carolina to make a call for troops effectual is a score or two of corpses. Bat nobody gets killed, and hence Hayes does not see hla way clear. James E. Asdersox is engaged in preparing some store perjuries for the benefit of John Sherman. lie seems determined to get an appointment in a warm country. If the devil wants firemen Anderson is his man. Tqi radical partj of Illinois has about forty aspirants for the office of United States senator. There will be some tall swearing to get the office, and it will be interesting to see them engaged in applying returning board forces to each other. 1 hk way the rads are gaining on the democratic party in Iowa is set forth as follows: Total vote of Iowa, 1877, 215,766; total vote of Iowa, 1878, 253,377. Republican plurality, 1877, 42,193; republican plurality, 178, 8,182. Republican loss in one year, 34,011. And now let the Hawkeye jubilate. rnx?inxT Hatbs exhibited himself at a county fair In Maryland the other day. and tlio tama day Baltimore went democratic- by 18,000 majority. And we' ask our brethren of the south if that is any kind of a way to treat a republican president?- Hawkeye. Yes, wherever Hayes exhibits himself democratic majorities increase. The people do not hanker after fraud. Loan SALisBcar, British secretary of for. eign affairs, has sent to the government of the United States a communication in regard to the fishery question which is creating some little bobbery. Krarte, the attorney and secretary of state for the presidential fraud, has instructed the American minister to cay to Lord Salisbury that his views on the question in controversy will not be accepted, and that nnless be changes them forthwith the United States will not pay over the Halifax award of $5,000,000. As John Bull never does back down at once, or gracefully at any time, the probabilities are that the United States will hold on to the Halifax award for some time to come. This curious paragraph appears In the Indianapolis Sentinel, which works for Dan Voorhees and ex-uovernor Hendricks: "Ex Governor Horatio Seymour, of New York, hat written a statesmanlike letter to the democrat q state central committee ol New York which we pub ten elsewhere in the bentine!." 9 In Ihii ".-Utesrnaulike loiter" Mr. Seymour My: "A my r :wina for a return to specie payments lmye K-en given to the. public in official form, a we'l astnpnblto fcpeerhes, I will repeat t-M"ii. I lo not believe we can have a good currency that H not redceraabl. In coin. Hut while u b d currency wi!l harm trade and industry a d a aooi cunency will help them, till it 1 tru Hi at it ran not of itself make wen 1th no prosperity." . Now, II ti.uf la state; manlike, In tho opinion of the Sentinel, what doos it thin a of the irredeemable, intitule a teachings of Dr. Dan? Cincinnati Commercial. Senator Voorhees made the campaign of Indiana on the democratic platform. Here it is: The democracy of Uie state of Indiana assembled In delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and lu lien thereof there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with full legal tender quality. That we are in favor of ranking the United Stales notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and privaUexcept such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were Issued, expressly payable in coin. 1 - That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is too exclusive prerogative of the government, and audi money should be issued in such amouuta as the sound business Interests of the country may from time to time require. Wo are in favor of such legislation by conirreMaswill rutnorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common with all other money. That we deem It un wise and Inexpedient to enact any inrther legislation for the funding of tho national debt abroad through the means of home syndicates or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interest of the people wonld b subserved by legislating m as to distribute said det among our people at home affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the Investment ot their savings in the funded debt of the United State. That we are in tavor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of Interest at not exceeding 6 per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of tho silver dollar of 4I2! grains to tbe coin of the coontry, and with fall legal tender quality In the payment of all debts, both public and private; and that tbe coinage thereof shall be unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions ai may be provided for the coinage of gold. That we are In favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act. Now then, if Marat Hatetead bas not gone over, body, brecebes and soul, to Kliza Pinkston politics, bo will shut op his mush hole bout Sena tor Voorhees 'inflation teachings." Ueacositikld is a Jew, and it is stated that tle Afghans are Jews. J. Talboys Wheeler, of Calcutta, who is said to be a close student ol Ilerodotnx, thinks the Afghans are of Hebrew origin, "not Jews of the orthodox "type, the outcome of Jerusalem and tbe "temple worship, but Jews of the old, turbu'lent, stiff necked type, who revolted at fSbechem against Kehobosra, and set up golden calves at Bethel and Dan. The Afgbans claim to be descendant of Saul, the 'son of Xiah. They are divided Into tribes, 4clans.and families. They distribute oon'nuered land by lot, perform the ceremony of the scapegoat and build shrines on high 'places. Their features are unmistakably 'Jewish; but their language is not Hebrew, nor anything akin to Hebrew' They rny

be descendants of the lout tribes, but there is no trace of the Hebrew language in their vernacular. It Is certain, if -Harper's picture of Share AH be . correct, that,, as Mr. Wheeler suggests, their features are decidedly Jewish, and that, as Mr. Wheeler declares, that the "face of She re All Khan, .'the present ameer, of -Afghanistan, reveals 'not only the Jewish features, but the mel'ancholy mania that belongs to the character of Saul."

JT harks, ex governor and ex-citizen of Florida, now federal commissioner of property at the rkannas Hot Springs, and tb main presiding thief of toe south, after Kellogg, ban found a voice, aud Is being "Interviewed" In radical newspapers on "political honesty." In a right condition of affair he would be earn, ing Tils bread hammering aboe soles in some penal institution. Newspapers are hard run when tney take up with aucn cattle. Albany Argus. . Kadical newspapers take to that sort of "cattle." A radical who has stole his pile and damned his soul with perjury is a godsend to a radical newspaper. The party has lived by lying and stealing for a number of years, made a president by forgery and perjury, and like a real brass plated thief and liar, as well as a yaller dog, likes to suck eggs. It Is about time to drop the soldier boy business out of politics. It was long since overdone, and Is understood by everybody as the sheerest clap-trap. nn worthy the consideration of sensible men. Still, If one side resorts to the demagogue's trick of appealing to " war records'' to capture votes, tbe other side may be expected to follow suit, and we do not see wby the pronunclmeuto of democratic soldiers in favor of Dill is not worth quite as much as that of republican soldiers in fav r lloyt. Each party contributed good soldiers to tne Union army, and eacu party contributed some pretty bad ones, but their merit as soldiers was not lnfloenced by their politics, and if one party undertakes to monopolize the soldier vote," it wJl be found that an equally respect -ble army can be ranged on the other side. Philadelphia Times (lnd.) The radical party, it seems, will never be done with the bloody shirt, but the people are tired and disgusted with it. Show up tbe stealings of the radical party, and it bowls "bloody shirt" Catch a radical thief, and he will at once have something to tay about the war. Hold up Hayes to the scorn and contempt of the world, and the radical organs will at once whine about army records, rrove that John Sherman is a purjury broker and stick, his infamous letter under his nose, and he talks about traitors, and so on through all the chapters. The people are tired of it. The war is ended. The little unpleasantness that occurred at the .Manhattan Savings Bank in New York city on last Sunday morning Is so mysterious that It Is likely to be a theme for extended comment for some time to come. There is nothing like it io tbe whole history of burglary in the United States, and all other countries may be included. It bas completely dumbfounded bankers, merchants and detectives. As people near it hand regain their wits, attempts are made to explain tbe transaction, but doubta increase with explanations and theories, until ausI icions set in, and are daily gaining strength. Here is an institution possessed of millions of valuables, all in a safe, burglar proof. "The Manhattan institution," frays the Brooklyn Eagle, "was not merely a 'bank. It was a depository for tbe safe 'keeping of money, jewelry and valuables. The public is at present somewhat distrustful of enterprises, and institutions of de- ' posit have for years been growing In favor. 'These institutions have been patronized 'solely on the supposition that they are ira'pregnable from outside. To sustain this Im'prcssion the public has been invited to ex'amine tbe massive vaults, made of concrete, 'stone and steel ; tbe triple doors of steel and 'all the ponderous machinery of bolts and 'lock?, which would be simply impossible of 'penetration by mam force. But the strong'est fortress is weak enough when traitors 'within are ready to assist the enemy with'out, and the most massive barriers of a 'vault are thin as paper when the keys fall 'into tbe hands of burglars. The public had 'been assured of the strength of the vault of 'the Manhattan Savings institution; the vig'ilence and care taken by tbe officers to keep the keys la tho hands of faithful servants 'the public took for granted. The system of 'construction was admirable; the system of 'guarding tbe means of iDgre&a to the vault 'was fatally faulty. Had depositors known 'just how weak a barrier really lay between 'their property and the burglars tbe private 'boxes of the institution would have been 'emptied within two hours." All at once the idea strikes the managers that to have the books taken out of the safe early in the morning and laid upon desks and tables for tbe clerks when they come to' work will save time and trouble, and forthwith the grand and vital secret of the combination of the lock of the safe is made known to the janitor, who becomes to all intents and purposes tbe custodian of prop erty worth millions of dollars. Such a thing was never heard of before, and the reason for Imparting the Becret of the lock' at once enlarges the area of suspicions, and the more business men think about the rob" bery, the more positive become their convictions that behind the affair there is something stupendously rotteu. It is now doubted if the secutities catalogued for public inspection were in the bank at all, and it Is possible that the boxes we read about were empty when the masked burglars entered the bank. They must have known that tbe janitor possessed the vital secret of the combination; if so, how did they obtain the information? Strange as it may appear, it is stated that a box containing property valued at $50,000 and belonging to the president of tbe bank was not touched, though in full view. Tbe mystery is as profound as ever, and all explanations fail to satiafy'anyone. The public, as might be expected, take a deep interest in this affair. It looks as though a safe is not a safe place In which to place valuables, and that eastern savings banks are remarkably unfortunate institutions. Tut leeders of the radical party, who have done little else but plunder tbe public treasury since the party came Into power, are just now, seeing: that they are soon to step down and out, terribly exercised over what they are pleased to style the "spoils" policy, and are contending that the removal of officials for political considerations Is politically immoral. Thexe fellows would have all the appointees of Grant and Hayes, including tbe Florida and Louisiana perjury cursed villains, retained in offlce. Mr. George W. Curtis in a recent lecture, the theme being "Mortis and rolitics," declared

that "parties seemed to be dissolving tnd 'reorganizing on a broad question of simple 'honesty," and that "the great source of 'political immorality in the United States 'was to be found in our system of civil 'service." In a word, helping those who helped to gain a political triumph is immoral and dishonest. This Is true enough if those who gain a political triumph employ immoral and dishonest means, and not otherwise. To gain such a triumph as placed Hayes in the office of .president was not only Immoral and dishonest but a most infamous .crime, and the crime attaches to every man who holdi office by his appointment. Such a scramble as was made for office by the Florida and Louisiana conspirators was degrading, but ordinarily the "vices and shortcomings of the govern'ment," as Mr. Curtis puts it, are not to be traced to the system of "helping" those who helped to gain the triumph, "It had once 'been," said Mr. Curtis, "the worst feature of England, but was now detested by Eng'land and was known abroad only as the 'American system. A change of adminiatra'tion involved a change not only of minis'ters of state, but of clerks, of messengers 'that ran errands, of the porters that did 'menial service, of the collectors of revenue, 'of the light house keepers, of the very wash'ers of doors and makers of fires. Under a 'free trade administration no trimmer of 'lamps would hope to Aold his humble 'post who had the slightest leaning 'towards protection for oiL Let there be 'but a change and the country postmistress 'who was suspected of unsound doctrine 'would find herself supplanted by ladies 'whose brothers or cousins might be found 'useful through the ballots denied to the 'women themselves. It was a monstrous 'system, as incredible in its lack of administrative common sense as it was ruinous to 'publio morality. When we came to elec'tion, under the influence of this highly organized party system, the only choice left us was that which sometimes happened to 'betters on the race course between a horse 'lame in two legs and a horse lame in three. Was there any reason why the civil service 'should be accounted less honorable than 'the army and navy? Had anyone ever 'heard of a civil official boast himself of his 'position? Was not the name officeholder a 'term of reproach? This was the result, 'howeve, only to the officeholder himself. 'What was its effect on general politics and 'public sentiment? The struggle for place 'and emolument embittered and intensified party strife. Public life itself was depreciated! Youngmen with a laudable ambition 'for serving their country found themselves 'constrained by the necessity of submitting 'themselves to a vulgar, and Inferior class, and respectability died out of politics. The 'generous ambition for political success was 'extinct, for honorable men did not care to 'pay the price." In all of this there is a deal of bosh. The democratic party haa been engaged for years in an effort to overthrow the radical party to clean out the radical stable, which contains ten times more radical thieves than the stables of the fabled kiug contained oxen. It would doubtless be gratifying to the radical party if the men who have fought the democratic party at every step by which it has regained power could be retained in office to play Spy and traitor upon the plea that to hustle them out of office would be immoral and dishonest. The democratic party is not likely to be diverted from its duty by such pleadings. It Is never Immoral or dishonest to place honest men in office, and such will be the character of those who at a very early day will occupy official positions under the government ot the United Stctcs.

The society of the Array of the Tennessee "had its origin in a meeting or otneer held In Raleigh on the 14th of April, 1865, for the purine of forming a permanent organization. At that meeting, whlcn was attended by nearly forty officers, a committee of Ave was appointed to draft a plan of organization to be submitted at a future meeting. A few day later another meeting was held, when General Joint A. iUwllna was elected president of the society. Major L. M. Dayton secretary, and other officers were chosen, Journal. The Sentinel has an idea that the officers of the Army of the Tennessee did not save the Union; that they did not do the fighting; they did not gsln the victories, and the Sentinel regards It as passing strange that private soldiers are not members of the "Society of the Army of the Tennessee." The Journal says that nearly "forty officers" attended the first meeting, when the society was organized at llaleigb. Is it not strange that no private soldier was thought worthy of membership? Was the society organized as a sort of an aristocratic association in which no "plebeian boy in blue" could enter? The Sentinel Is for bestowing honor upon whom honor is due not to the officers only, iut to the soldiers who risked all and in thousands of instances lost all. The survivors are men gallant men, heroes of the most exalted type' but their names are not enrolled on the list of members of the "Society of the Army of 'the Tennessee." Why? Will the Journal answer? Come, you low, dirty lickspittle of power; rou crawling sycophant beneath the shadow of epaulets, tell the people wby private soldiers who did the fighting in all of the battles In which "tho Army Of the Tennessee was engaged are not Included in tbe membership of the "Society of the Army 'of the Tennessee?" The Sentinel brought the private soldier into conspicueusness. It bound upon his brow the victor wreath; it honored him without whose services, daring and courage, sacrifices and death, no such an organization as the "Society of the Army of the Tennessee" could have had an existence. The Journal tries to criticise our comments, and to bring tbe Sentinel into discredit . by saying that it insults the "Society of tbe Army of the Tennessee." It said: The Sentinel contained a most Insulting editorial on the "Hoctetyof the Army of the Tennessee," in which the member- were reminded that "the war is over;" that "eimuleta and bran buttons may now stand aside;" that in this country we want no standing armies;'' that there should b an end of "the gL'.re amidst which military nabobs seek to arrogate to themselves all the glory and to perpetuate their renown;" thai "the people have a sovereign contempt for a set of itinerating military chteftaiuit who are constantly seeking for nielhol to override the civil authority of the country;" that "titled chieftains, epanleted aristocrats and military slneourlsts are no the custodians of the eople's liberties," etc. All this was intended as au iusuitto the former omcers of that gallant army who come together once a year to renew old friendships aud talk over their exerience during war times, which In the lapse of years have become "uuld lang tyne." But the Sentinel said more, and it stands

by its utterances, and we challenge the Journal to criticise them. It said: The boys in blue fought a good fight built their monument more enduring than the pyramids, and thousand of them then lay down In death. The pens of ready writers have been, and will continue to be, busy for many years In writing the history they made. Gratitude has taken form in many ways. Survivors are honored and pensioned. The country, with a mother's solicitude, regards the maimed, but above all ana over a'l are the glad tidings that the north and the south, the "blue" and tbe "gray," cherish bitterness no longer. Generous impulses, kind words, noble deeds, fraternity, unity, peace and good will. The sunny south and the rugged north embrace. The bloody chasm disappears from the "map of our country." The gulf speaks to the lakes, the Atlantic sends greeting to the Pacific. Cotton, will Its snowy locks, princely In Its wealth, bows with courtly grace to the lasseled com and bearded wheat, while Texas herds, feeding their way to the markets of the world through the pralrits of Kansas, lovingly Invite the country to the banquet of "fat things." . We can recall the affecting scene when the boy for the last time encircled his mother with his strong arms, when the old man with trembling accents said good bye, when brother and sister embraced, when manly forms clasped wife aud child and hurriedly sail adieu, and

then went forth to battle and to death. But why recall these harrowingscenes? Simply to oOVet the glare amidst which military nabobs seek to arrogate to themselves all the glory and to perpetuate their renown. But none of these men who survive stre known as members of the '.'Society of tbe Army of the Tennessee" only officers. Why ? We challenge the Journal, the organ of Shylocks, the abject parasite of power, the radical flea that liven in the hair of the radical dog, the radical louse that obtains a precarious living upon tbe dead carcass ot the radical party, the radical tapeworm that lives in the diseased stomach of the radical monstrosity, the radical trichina that subsists In the muscles of the radical hog, the radical bat that flaps its leathery wings In the dens of radical conspirators, the radical ojcer that grows upon the throat of the rotten corpse of an organization that has horrified the world we challenge this organ of tbe radical pest house to criticise the Sentinel's effort to honor the private soldier of the Army of the Tennessee. The Sentinel "during jthe whole war" stood by the right and is now the . organ ef a party that has ef, fectualiy wiped out the radical party in In diana, and left the Journal high and dry in a bankrupt court. VOORHEES AND IIEHDKICKN. Waal at Prominent llooeler Democrat Has to Say or tbe Indiana Senator snip and the Presidency. , ILouisville News. A News reporter had tho good fortune today to collide, near the Louisville hotel, with Colonel Thomas J. Fullenlove, chair man ot the democratic executive commit tee of Floyd county, lnd., and one among the best informed politicians of his party in the Hoosier state. Without ceremony tbe reporter proceeded to interview Colonel Fullenlove, with tbe following result: Reporter Well, colonel, wl at means all this talk In the papers about a hard money candidate to be run by the bankers for United States senator In Indiana against Voorhees? Colonel Fullenlove It is aU bosh. It would be as much an life Is worth if a democratic member of the Indiana legislature should nell out Dan Voorhees. They'd Just take him out of his seat in the state house and hang him to the most convenient tree or lamp post. The fight was made In Indiana on Voorhees nuil by Voorhees, with the democratic state platform ns a basis; and every man accepts this. Woe betide tbe democratio legislator who would dare to sell himself to the bard -money iteti or any other taction against Voorhees. Tho whole story ol a conspiracy to this end among prominent democrats and bankers in a radical lie manufactured out of the whole cloth. There is noihlnz in it. Rcporter-tThen Hill English, the Indianapolis banker, will not be In the field for the m uate ngaintt Voorhees? Colonel Fullenlove No, sir; he's a man of too much sense. Huskies, he really desires the election of Voorh.vs, believing him entitled to the senatorshlp. Governor Hendricks Is for Voorhees, Henator McDouald is for Voorhees, Governor William I is for Voorhees, and so are all the rest. lie porter Well, how nbout Hendricks, the Indiana election r.nd the presidency? Colonel Fullenl-vo iiendrlckii is all right. He is the idol of the democracy of Indiana. He is thuir first a ad last choice for the presidency. Ills speeches In the late canvass revolutionized northern Indiana, and the central part ot the state as well. Wherever lie went and talked to the people victory crowned the eagle of the democracy. The democratic majority and solidity of Indiana give him a position at the very front for tbe next democratic presidential nomination. Tburtnan and Allen are wttltd by the result in Ohio. The west wants no more eastern presidential candidates. Hue has to elect the democratio president, if one Is elected, and she demands and will receive the nominee, and Thomas A. Hendricks will be the man as certain as the next national convention meets. That Ht. DbuiH bnclness taught the democracy a lesson they are not .likely to forget very soon. You van J net bet your pile on Hendricks and you'll win. The west ha tried the candidates of the east for the past IS years and has failed. She now prootw to name the candidate, and that man will be Thomas A. Hendricks. And on a sound democratio platform the nationals will see their folly, the hard money democrats will cease IheiroppoMltion, and well all go together hand In hand and sweep the country by a tremendous nialority. Thanking Colonel Fullenlove, who, by tho way, is cue of tho most energetic, shrewd and well known workers in tho democratio party of southern Indiana, the News reporter bid him good day, and the colonel took a street car for Now Albany. Monument Ualldlag. . St. Louis Republican. When, immediately after tbe death of Senator O. 1. Morton, some of bis enthusiastic admirers proposed to erect by subscription a memorial edifice costirg not less than $330,000, we ventured to intimate that the chances of the completion of said edifice were not particularly brilliant, and that if the defunct senator had no monument until a $350,000 one was given him, he would certainly aleep in an unmarked grave forever. Xbe gentlemen in charge of the business have evidently reached similar conclusions after protracted feeling of the popular pocket. "The executive committee ot tbe Morton Monumental Association" had a meeting a few days ago and accepted the resignation of General Lew Wallace, wbO was probably tired of a thankless ta&k. The committee then discussed the financial prospect, examined the treasury of tbe association, and unanimously agreed to abandon the $3.X,000 scheme and content themselyes with "a plain, substantial monument" of modfgt dimensions and moderate cost. Kven for this there is not sufficient money on hand, and it is announced that "an active canvass for funds will begin as soon as yellow fever is at an end." Thepincinnati Gazette suggests that $15,000 is about tbe right mm to raise. This Is a decided drop from a third of a million, but tbe committee are likely to have a good deal of hard work in collecting it, unless ways and means can be devised to give it the 'shape of a thank offering for the disappearance of the southern epidemic. Without debating the claims of Senator Morton to a $350,000 or $15,000 post mortem recognition, we may remark that Americans are not much of a monument buildirtf people. They are citizens of a republic, ana republics are said to be "always ungrateful." There are dead men scattered all over the country who, if distinguished services and pre-eminent talents deserve perpetuation in marble or bronze, merit such tokens of national gratitude and reverence far more than does the late lamented gentleman from Indiana. Yet these departed worthies are monnmentless, and promise to remain bo. They are not absolutely forgotten, but they are . not ' remembered in a way that costs anything. Nobody would tanction the disturbance of their dust, but nobody has given a cent to suitably mark where that dust repots. It is a noticeable

and significant fact that all, o nearly all, the monuments erected to ill jstrions Americans have been ordered by coagress or state legislatures. These bodies are occasionally stirred up to appropriate action in behalf of deceased celebrities, but the popular heart is

' luvicti Tcrjr jar lu uirecuou. Witness the Washington moounent at the federal capital. How assiduously was tbe bat passed round for It. How. many contribution boxes, stuck in all sorts of places, opened their mouths to the passers-by. How many eloquent appeals from press, pulpit and platform were made. And what was the result? A half finished pile of stone, looking very much like a cross between a bridge pier and a patent line kiln; which congress, under centennial pressure, at last resolved to complete. There is abundant reason to believe that if .Washington had depended upon private subscriptions among his countrymen for a fittirg memorial, he would have received nothing better than the tomb at Monnt Vernon, which Mark Twain mistook for an ice house. Morton will be uncommonly lucky if be gets by the subscription process a $1,500 testimonial to indicate tbe spot where he "went down to darkness and the worm." GENERAL TELEGRAMS. COHDITIOX Or THE TREASURY. Secretary Sherman Views a to tbe Outlook, fer Resumption. Washisgtox, Oct. 31. Secretary Sherman bas written the following letter in regard to the condition of the treasury for specie resumption, etc.: Treasury Department, ) of kick ok thr secretary, v Washington, d. C, Oct. SI. j To J. Lcroy II. Dodd, Buchanan, Mich.: . Sir I am in receipt of your letter of the 20t,h in st. making certain Inquiries as to the condition of the treasury for resumption and the amount of paper circulation per capita In this country and the principal coaiitrlesof Europe. In reply I have to Inform you that on tbe 1st Inst, the coin balance of the treasury was SJV,el. The entire amount, however, was not available for resumption parposeM. but subject to liabilities as follows: Interest due and unpaid, t,8lo!iS; debt, cn which Interest has ceased, SrJ,5t.tftJ0: In acre t thereon, S373,5K;coin eertincntes in gold, SC.KM.WX); coin certificates in sliver, Sl48,07j; uncLUmcd interest, S0H7; unmatured bonds called for resumption, su,-VJu,nX); total, fJS,427 ,7M. Leaving for resumption purposes, f 13131 The coin receipts into the treasury will probably exceed by a conMdetable amount the coin payments between now and January. 187H. so thai at least the above balance will then be avallabln for resumption purpo es. It shonld also be borne in mind that meanwhile there Is no probability of the entire coin liabilities being presented for payment. As to the circulation of European -countries this depariment has not information except what can be obtained from publications open to all. The Londcn Economist of (September 14, 187S, the latest at hand, states the amount of paper circulation of banks in tiie united kingdom, less th5 amount retained by the banking department of the Bank of England, tobe M,td,97l, and the circulation of the Bank of France, which alone in France has authority to iRsue notes, to be on September 5, jCM.710,000, and that the Imperial Bank of (ieriuany on Kepteniher 7, was 30,41o,OJQ. It . la understood that some country banks of Germany have authority under certain restrictions to issue notes, bnt as the amount issued is not stated in financial publications It is believed to be Inconsiderable. Reducing these amounts to the currency of this country per capita of t-je circulation appears to be as follows: Country. Circu'n. Populat'n. Latest Ftim'ed Per Capita. France-t,907X0 36,905,788 113 48 United Kl'gdom 213,905.000 33,47400 6 39 Oerm'ny 1 K,U16,0UU i2,7S7X) 3 4S United States 68R,537,275 47,000,000 11 65 It wUl be seen that the aggregate as well as per capita amount of the paper circulation is larger In this country than in any of the other countries named, and larger in esetws than any except that of France. In that country, however, tho circulation bus been reduced to the amount above stated si nee November. )74, from tWtrJ.t100,X)0, a reduction of 141,i.1,000, while In the same period the metallic renerve of tho bank has Increased from llt)00,WX) to f tt5,GW,0U0. Very respectfully, John Shkkman, Secretary. TIVKSGIVIXO DAY. The president has issued the following proclamation, -setting apart Thursday, November 118, as a day of thanksgiving: BY THE F RESIDENT OF Tlir UNITED 6TATKS A PKOCLAMA1 ION. The recurrence of that season at which it Is the habit of our people to mike devout and public confusion of their constant dependence upon divine favor for all the good gifia of life, of happiness and of public peace and prosperity, exhibits in tho record of the year abundant reason lnrrurir tltulaid tuanbsglvmg ;Exubemnt harvest, produc lve mines, ample eropsof stspiot ol nude and m.tnufactutes have enriched the coantiy.
