We get nothing from Washington in relation TO the re-
formation of the Cabinet made necessary by the sudden
death OF the gifted and amened Legare. The Sun of YES
terday contained an article this aimportant subject
which nearly embodies views and feelings thai
we cannot forbear giving place below refrain from
pressing in the patriotic suggestions of the
writer II is undeniabe fact that there but one way
for this administration the Democratic party Not
only the President be governed by democratic prne
pies, and support democratic measures but he must have
democratic counselors; and in the selection Of men Ia fill
the important places in his cabinet he consult and
regard the wishes OF the great Democratic party As Chief
Magistrate oil tins free people, in this important crisis let
him, suggested by the writer in the Sun call upon the
leading and prominent of the country their
and advce-appeal TO their professionalism love for the
noble Institutions OF government and demand of them
IN the name Of the American people, their wise counses
demand II, we say, duty they their COUNTY,
Will they under such circumstances deny their country
such serycel viii the noble and patriotic Carolinan
hesitate moment Will our own mighty and towering
Wright eiusel Will Pennsylvania gifted sons Buchanan
and Ingersoll, shalt between opinonsl" Will New
Englands great democratic lights Woodbury., Henshaw
and others, pause q moment Not they. Let our own
worthy President call 10 his counsel this time these and
other great of the land and abide their udgmentca
into his cabinet such really worthy they shall recon.
mend, and depend upon 1t the great democratic party
Congress and among the people, will the adnistra
ton and carry 1t through in triumph.
John Tyler commands the position for his
administration strength with the people. lie place
himself in the front rank-a the head Of the democratic
party. He alone do IL it will never be done for
him. Unless he now takes this lead. else will
IL in the selection of subordinate officers but in the
proper selection Of the great and prominent ones that the
mark IS made. Would TO God could with a pencil of
light portray the facts they stand the distant OBJ
sever-the facts so eoqueny alluded by the writer In
the Sun. But do conure Mr. Tyler in the name Of the
country to sink the person in the patriot and az the chief
magistrate, call TO his aid the counsel Of the patriotic great
men-the recognized democratic lights Of the country.

CoUNTERFEITs-AN ARREST wo-
man was arrested before Justice Madison
a few days ago, charged with passing
counterfeit money, consisting of $5's on
the State Bank Of Indiana, and $20's on
the Northern Bank of Kentucky. She
told the Court that her husband &c. w.
Bennett) had then gone TO Portsmouth
for the purpose Of getting signatures 10
batch Of notes he then had in his pos.
session. "Upon this hint" officer Dawson
went in pursuit. Not finding him at Ports
mouth, he went up the line Of the canal
about forty or fifty miles TO region Of
country where gang of counterfeiters is
said to congregate, where he found the
gentleman, and Aecoyed him to Ports
mouth OH pretence that his (Bennet's)
wife was waiting to see him on particu-
lar bOsiness. On arriving there, he was
nabbed, and lodged in Jail. From thence
he was brought down here, examined
before Mr.. Justice Madison, and fnelly
committed,
The $5's of the State Bank found upon
him are Of new emission, but they dif
for very materially from the original note
which they intended to copy; The one
we are describing has none Of the filing
up except the Presidents name,-Mer-
rill which is engraved. The vignette
in the centre is large ship, in company
with two smaller ones, under full sail
on one side is portrait Of Washington
and on the other one of Lafayette-or
the right hand end is female figure with
her face to the front, and. on the left enc
a female figure with profile view. On
each of the upper corners are small diei
with the figure "5' in the centre. AtteI
the Cashiers name is a small eagle with
extended wings, looking TO the left.
On the genuine notes there is no ship
in the vignette-no female figures on Ell
ther end-the frame work around the
portraits is narrower and darker, and the
bills are larger. A sure test to tell al
counterfeils is, that they are always short
er than the genuine.
The prisoner also had 800 on th'
Northern Bank Of kentucky. It i
payable to Tho. Kelly OF bearer, at Par
is-No. 3542- letter B.-dated Oct. t.29t

MONEY AND CITY MATTERS.

The brokers', from whom we are apt
TO receive the first complaints, say that
the money market was never 50 dull as
at the present time. Small amounts Of
uncurrent notes only are brought 10 mar
ket, and they como but seldom. A slight
Improvement is visible in the following:
Urbana sells at So; Illinois State Bank
at So; Shawneetown at 46; and Indiana
Scrip at 90. Their only business (the
brokers) they say, consists in exchung.
ing small bills for larger ones, for the ac-
cOmmodation of the public. They, as
we'll as the merch ants, are looking for
ward 10 the fall season with no little
anxiety. Exchange on the east is firm and
selling briskly al one IL for Indiana and
other country bank notes. Specie sells at
3-9 prem. Gin. Eng.
ny The West will be supplied with
money by the sales Of their own produce,
which is rapidly gaining favor in England.
The progress of business is also indica
ted in the statistics Of the Erie Canal,
that great channel of communication be-
tween New York and the West. OF
cial tolls TO the lst Of August show the
tons merchandise shipped on the canal,
distinguishing that distributed for consu,
nation through the State Of New York;,
and that passed on TO other States Of the
West.
The year 1899 was the great year Of
bank expansions and large imports. The
figures show that in that year, as COM
pared with the present year, the West
bought so per cent. more goods and sold
so nor cent. less -four; that Is, in 1889,
the Western States bought one ton Of
goods for thirteen barrels Of -four sold
This year they pay for what they buy
The aggregate quantity of goods sent
West has been scarcely greater than last
wear, when exchanges we're SO much 10
favor OF the United States, but the South.
ern trade has been much larger The
tolls on the Western public works
show increasing amounts.
These swelling tolls are from the in.
crease Of produce shipped; altogether the
import Of merchandise, as indicated a.
bove, being no larger than last year
The whole aspect Oflh Union is one Of
great promise. Every thieg locks we'll
IN commercial and financial point Of
view, and nothing but the unhappy pro-
pensity oflawyers and politicians to med>
