New Way Of Detecting Counierfeits

John S. Dye, Of New York, has
come before the public with a new plan
for detecting counterfeit, spurious and
altered notes. He presents it in Dyes
Wall Street Broker, and he pledges
himself to take every counterfeit, new
or old, at its full value, that is not
thoroughly described in his publica-
ton, by this plan, so early as to be de-
tected; and it is to make no difference
whether the bill is now in existence
or should come into existence months
er year hence. The plan Of detec-
ton is set forth in English, German
and French. The character of ali
genuine and spurious bills is minute
ly described. Seven rules for detec-
ton are given, as follows:
l. Examine the form and features
of all human figures on the note
IF the forms are graceful and features
distinct, examine the drapery-see if
the folds lay natural; and the hair of
the head should be observed, and see
| if the fine strands can be seen.
2. Examine the lettering. the title
of the Bank, or the round hand-wri-
ting on the face of the note. On all
genuine bills the work is done with
great skill and perfectness, and there
has never been counterfeit but was
defective in the lettering.
3. The imprint or engravers'
names. By observing the great Fer
lection of the different company
names-in the evenness and shape Of
the fine letters, counterfeiters never
get the imprint perfect. This rule
alone, if strictly observed. will de-
tect every. counterfeit note in exist
ence.
4. The shading in the back ground
of the vignette, OF over OF around
the letters forming the name Of the
bank-on good bill is even and per.
/ feet, on counterfeit irregular and i'm.
perfect.
5. Examine well the figures on
the other parts Of the notes contain.
ing the denomination, also letters. =
Examine we'll the die work around
the figures which stand for the demon.
ination, to see if it is Of the same
character as that which forms the Or
namental work surrounding it.
6. Never take a bill that is 1ef-
Gent in any Of the above points. and
| if your impression is bad when you
first see it, you had better be careful
how you become convinced, to change
your mind whether your opinion is
not altered as you become confused
in looking into the features OF the
workmanship of the bill.
Z. Examine the name of the State,
name Of the bank, and name of the
town where the bank is located. If
it has been altered from broken
bank, the defects can plainly be seen,
as the alteration will show that 1t has
been stamped on.

Abolition break-loWnih Connecticut
A correspondent Of the New Yor'

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post writes glocmily of the
kelection in Connecticut H6 says:
1--WE feel rather blue. over the Con.
necticut election. We have not been
beaten in Connecticut, but then we
have won 10 victory there. The
DemocFats seem to have frmer hold
Of Connecticut than OF any other New
Eogland State. Coming, as they do.
Immediately after the bred Scott de-
cisiou, The Congressional victories Of
the Democrats, are a disgrace TO the
State Of Connecticut. She has bro
ken The line of New England. The
old excuse Of "splosby weather" is
brought forward; bnt what is a party
good for that can't stand an April
rain. and which is ever to be at the
mercy ofthe elements:?"
Our readers cannot but remember
how Black Republicanism triamphed
iuConnecticut last November, sweep
ing every thing before it. Now what
q change? A change too at the very
heel ofsthe decision of the Supreme
Court, in the bred Scott case, aud at
a time when every effort was being
made by the aboiitionists to make
capital from that decision Well may
the fanatics Of that State s'ieel blue
ut their fate. Well mag they say that
Connecticut has broken the line OF
New England-the abolition line
the s.bigher law" line! AS for the
.old excuse Of sploshy weather, the
correspondent Of the Post is right
when he intimates that a party is
good for nothing that cannot stand
an April shower, and be might have
gone farther, and said, that his party
is good for nothingin rain OF sunshine.
1t is detestable party-a party op-
posed to Law, order, and the constitu-
tion-a party recognizing, advoea-
ting, aud permitting negro suffrage
and, as such, will meet yet With 10
glorious defeat even in, and through
ont ali New England. There is a
tsober second thought nov prevail
ing at the North, which We doubt not
will result in u glorioDs victory of the
National Democracy there, in futre
elections. Until then sleepless will
be The vigilance Of che democracy.

The Humanity of AboIilionism.

Lie HuiGdGlty OIL AD0ilttOniSlil'
The Pennsylvania, abiding to the
heartlessness and hypocrisy of the
abolition party, remarks with great
force:
1.-The one-sided, fanatical, pretend
ed humanity" of abolitionism, as
eyinced in this country, is probably
the most selfish, cold-blooded, and
cruel organized manifestation of hu-
man sentiment exhibited 10 any
country in any age. II far outstrips
in its conceptions and designs all the
horrors of the French revolution, and
can find no parallel in history excep t
in the awful and bloody scenes of
the terrible succession Of San. Do
mingo tragedies it aims to emulate;
beneath an assumed robe of ''human-
ity" it hides the most fiendish aims
aud purposes. 1t stops short Of
but the immolation of
whole nation, and that the happiest
and uoblest one the sun has ever
shown upon. 1T boasts of undying
hostility to the greatest and best
framework Of government ever de-
yised by the wit of man. It sets at
defiance the fundamental laws of the
land, and incites treason, riot, blood
shed, and death, to surmount and
nullify them.

The Deposit Act.--'fhe Wilmington Journal,
in arguing against the policy Of distributing the sur
plus revenue among the States, makes the following
statement;
"In 1896 Mr.. Van Buren, was elected,
and in 1887 he took his seat in the Presiden-
tial chair. The deposits with the States
gave an impulse to State extrayagancies, re-
sulting in regulations and suspensions,
lowering our standard of commercial credit
abroad, and discouraging and Gripping our
people at home. The States deposited their
deposits with their banks-the banks ex-
banded. and in the next year after the de-
post with the States, the crash came-specie
payments were suspended--State bonds, as a
rule, were nowhere in arket--shinplasters
were the order Of the day."
II the object Of the editors Of the Journsi was 10
present 10 its readers true view Of the matter, in
stead Of making a mere show Of argument they
should have taken some pain. 70 inform themselves
correctly on the subject They should have remem-
