From the Alb1uu DniIu Adperiiser

The eminent abilities Of Mr.. Spencer are well
known and universally acknowledged in this State
that here at least nothing need be said in justification
Of this appointment. II speaks its praise. Mr.
Spencer carries with him into the War Department
talents Of the highest order habits of the most ndeat
igahe industry, and a mind enriched by long study
and strengthened by constant exercise In his public
career, not short uneventfu, he has won the
respect Of his political opponents and secured the
teen and admiration of his friends. Uniting as he
docs the qualities Of profound jurst, accomplished
scholar and distinguished statesman, the people Of
New York have TO be proud of their represen-
aiive in the Cabinet and the people of the Union "a
congratulate themselves that. this important Depart
ment Of the General Government has fallen into such
able hands.

To those at distance who do not know Mr.. SPEN-
GER, and to Army friends, who very naturally
feel deep interest in the character Of the person
placed at the head Of the War Department, we deem
proper to say, that Mr.. JOHN G. SPENCER is gen
Heman who as man of talents and lawyer, has no
superior in New York, and but few equals in the
ton. We believe him TO be quite as hon st as any
other Politician in the country, and we may almos,
say that we knop him to be the most laborious and
indefatigable business man in the Union-ay in the
Union. With power Of mind fully qualifying him
for any position he possesses ability 10 labor for the
lore Of labor such has rarely if ever, been
witnessed. Whether at Albany or Washington, he
will not only discharge promptly all the duties of his
Office and the duties Of most Of the clerks under him.
but he will insist that the duties of all the other De-
partments be discharged with equal promptness or en-
ter upon their discharge himself

An obvious propriety seemed TO direct that New
York should have voice in the Cabinet Councils
and we feel sure that 10 no ADLER and worhcr hands
cosd these high trusts be committed than TO those Of
the present Secretary Of the State Of New York
With wide and well established fame among the
soundest and abest American lawyers he possesses
reputation for purity OF purpose and dignity Of aim
rarely enjoyed; and in each Of the imporan, duties
in this his native State whose duties he had well dis
charged, he has acquired unfading laurcls.
The New York Commercial says representa-
ton in the Cabinet is at all times due to the State OF
New York; and the President might have canvassed
the State in vain for an ADLER efficient man
than John e. Spencer.

great pow er ofappcaton and very considerable versa

SMALL NOTE BILL.

The following is the Copy of the Bill as it passed the
General Assembly on Tuesday. The Senate passed il
wnh amendments, by vote OF about 90 TO 6and these
amendments yesterday adopted BY the House.
THIS law suspends the operation of the provision Of
the General Law, which compelled the Banks to have
dollar coin for five dollars in circulation. 1t
thought hard, under the efforts now making by the
Banks to sustain specie payments, and whilst they
must lose portion of their specie to compel them tc
cur,a their accommodation to the Public, and to dis
tess their customers, by calling in five dollars OF paper
'or every dollar Of silver they paid out.
The small notes. which they are now privileged &c
'ue, to be paid all times in specie at the coun
sfs OF the Bank-and whether they are issued at the
Mother Bank or the branches. This provision stamps
Them as cash, at all times, whether the Banks CONT
hue specie payments generally not. Being equiva
lent 10 specie, there will he little no inducement tt
cash them, the Banks except now and then for The
smaller, fractional coins.
The Legislature have manifested liberal DISPOSE
ton 10 support the Banks in their audable efforts tc
maintain The specie standsrd-Nothing scarcely could
have done away in the Senate most serious oppos
ION 10 the b--Nothing surely could have reconcileo
Us TO this measure, but the fine spirit with which oul
Banks disposed to meet tn exigency of the
times.

notes Of a less denomination than frs dollars for
limited time.
Passed Feb TO- 1901
Behcaartsd By he Geaerat assembly, That it shat
oe lawful fur the several Banks of this Commonwealth
!" issue notes of the denomination Of one and two dol
a's, to an amount not exceeding four per cent upon
s'r respective capitals, which notes shall be payable

r,h and Cashier any other officer officers OF said
Dhks designated for that purpose by the Board of Dr.
'ec'ors Aud if any Bank shall fail to pay in specie
any note issued by it, in virtur of this act, when duly
Presented for payment it shall be lawful for the holder
