The amount at Nashville is the whole
amount received by that branch, the great.
er part of which, it is presumed, has
been used.
1t oughtto be generally known that
all the drafts ofthe denomination of five
dollars, are payable in specie at what
ever branch presented, without regard
to the one issuing them. Mr.. Biddie in
bis letter to MIR. Rush, when secretary
of the treasury, SAID, "they are placed
on the same footing of negolialiiy as the
notes signed by the president and cash.
Ter Of the bank" all the notes of five
dollars are on their faces payable at the
bankor either OF its offices. The drafts
Of the denomination of ten and twenty
dollars, cannot be received in payment
of dues TO the government after the first
of January next; and will consequently
according to their tenor at that period,
have to be sent to the bank at Philadel-
phia for payment.
Whatever losses the community suffer
(and we fear they will be greaD by coun-
ter(eit drafts, which have been put in
circulation, and will be found, new when
the reckoning day has come, passing
among those who are unskilIed in detect
ing them; the bank is accountable, at
least in ii moral sense, for substituting
this illegitimate issue of branch drafts
for the currency authorized by the char
ter under the signature of the president
and cashier Of the principal bank, and
congress repeatedly denied them permits
sion to issue notes signed by the officers
OF the braches. The issue of drafts was
adopted TO evade the charter and the
will Of congress.

Whereas, by the act of congress, pas
scd 3lst July, 1889, it is provided ''tha,
the duties and fees to be collected by
virtue of this act, shall be received in
gold and silver coin only" and, by US
age under that act and similar one, as
to the payment for public lands, it was
customary TO receive only specie and the
notes or bills of banks redeemable in
specie, until 1914; and after different
practice, adopted in 1914, congress, on
The 10th April, 1876, resolved, "That
from ard after the Goth day of Februa-

sums Of money accruing or becoming
payable to the United States" ought to
"be collected or received otherwise than
in the legal currency Of the U. S. or
treasury notes, or notes of the bank of

TRIAL oE MAIL RoBBER.--The trial
of Richmond, the deputy postmaster
at Middleton, Md. son of the post mas
ter, for robbing money from letters, came
on at Baltimore, at the present term Of
the U. S. Circuit Court. On being ar
raigned, he plead guilty to all the char
ges, and was sentenced to ten years i'm
prisonment. The amount which Rich>
mond acknowledged to have stolen was
about 1900 dollars, most of which he
burnt while on bail after his arrest
Richmond is 81 years of age, of good
appearance, had before acquired a fair
character aud standing, and was at the
time Of his arrest, engaged to be mar
ried 10 an estimable woman. But Gu.
pidiiy and seeming opportunity tempted
him to hazard all, and all has been lost.
VOYAGE OF AN ASS. From the Isler Fri.
gate, in 1916, capt. DuDdas, of the roy
al navy, in consequence of the vessel
having touched the sand at Point de
Cat, among other things he threw over
an ass to tighten the ship. The sea run
fea,fully high, and the boat which put
off was entirely lost. A few days after,
one morning, when the gates of Gibral-
ter were opened, there stood the ass
waiting for admission. He marched di,
rectly for the stable ofMr. Weeks, where
he had formerly been kept. The ass
must have swan and travelled, without
guide, compass or map, BY the mere ev
dence Of his own keene sense of smell

EMIGRATION TO LiBERiA.--We learn
from the Norfolk Beacon that the ship
Minus sailed from that port for Liberia
on Sunday last, with one hundred and
twenty eight emigrants on board; ono
hundred Of whom were emancipated by
the late DR.. Halves, OF Rappahannock,
Virginia, who also appropriated the
funds for the transportation. These
coIonists are nearly all members Of the
Baptist church, including three preach
ers Of their own color.
