The Globe of last evening, by the way of xculpa-
ting itself from the charge we made that it is aug
menting in lis invectIye against Mr.. Tyler, asserts
has said nothing about the President for weeks.
We said on former occasion that regarded Mr..
Benton and the Globe as one and indivisble. But
two days ago, the Globe contained a speech OF Mr..
Benton's, charged throughout with the most violent
inyectves against Mr.. Tyler; and not more than
three weeks ago. the editorial of the Globe charged
Mr.. Tyler with having undertaken to propoke hosiii-
ties by ttsnping dangerous authority. However,
the Globe appears to have taken the stool Of re-
p,ntance we do not desire to disturb its medtaons

other cause of divorce arose. Mr. Clay thought that
his partisans alone fit to hold office, and the

 of 1898:
 "A large portion of the half million of dollars, received from the Secretary of the Treasury, was offered to be paid in gold, at the Mint, in Philadelphia; but, as the fund had been received in foreign coin, il had to undergo the process of rccoining before the Secretary was willing to pay 1t out The delay which would necessarily have follow cd, awaiting the completion of the coinage, and the @tter impossibiIitv of getting the gold down the Ohio river, in consenuence of the low stage of its waters, and the sus- pension of all navigation on it, coupled with the fact that the commissioners were fully advised, of the intention of all the Southern and Western Banks, to resume the payment of specie on the first day of January. 1899, induced them, 10 invest the whole funds in Western and South-Western bank paper, which was done, at such rates of discount, as will secure to the Bank profit of about S20,000. These funds have mostly been deposited at various points, with which the citizens of this State have connection and trade, and will be drawn on in the course of business, as the wants of the community re- quire, and al such reduced rates of exchange as will relieve t from the runous state of things which grew out of the recent unfor- tunate endorsements of our common coun- try.
