he has expressed himself Indifferent to the

souri2 We have an answer given by The
St. Louis Bulletin, which, we think, will
not be a very satisfactory one to the Loco
Focos. 1t seems that ",he notes were paid
to the agents Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, carried 10 the southwest part OF Ais
souri,, paid out to the troops aud lndians,ln
place of the hard money-and IN this way
the notes got Into circulation with the ex-
press sanction of the Secretary. These
notes by and by found their way into Ben
toms monster at ST. Louis, whose first teller
sold them for remittance East at 2 per cent.
premium-half cent higher than the drafts
of the State bank would command. The
government circulates the notes of the Uni
ted States Bank, and then sets its Office
holders at work to cry down the bank, be-
cause some of the notes which it circulated
happened to be counterfeit" Adv
