ANECDOTE OF '65 TOLD FOR FIRST TIME

By Associated Press COLUMBUS, 0., Dec. 24. An interesting bit of the country's financial history, showing difficulties during the civil war was revealed at the annual meeting here of the Ohio State Archaelogical and Historical society, when John G. Deshler presented a cane made from the wood of the noted Merrimac, the Confederate ironclad, a gift to his father, William G. Deshler by Salmon P. Chase. Mr. Deshler is of Columbus. A long historical sketch of the cane recites a conversation between Mr. Chase, who was secretary of the treasury.a nd Mr. Deshler, in which the former told of the United States being confronted with an attempt by a large number of men "professedly loyal to break down the credit of this country ty speculating in stocks and gold." The men accused of what was rerred to by the secretary as "the rankest treason" were said to be pirating from New York to Richmond i y way of Louisville and thewarted by negotiations with a syndicate of German bankers for a loan of $200,000.000," as stated by Secretary Chase and quoted in the history. Deshler was called to New York by Chase and entrusted with the task of crushing the alleged traitors. He was given full authority to make his own pian3. Deshler accepted the task and successfully solved the problemThe historical sketch shows that Deshler refused to accept any pay for his services, but did accept a draft on

Dehsler, Merrimac, April, 1864," the can is listed as one of the most valuable of the relics in the historical society's collection. Its handle and ferule are of metal, taken from the Merrimac's guns. Only four of the canes were made.
