auditor receiving them at just such figures

ninety-seven cents on the dollar, the compa-
sued upon them. This railroad money a.
it is here termed. passes readily among US
thus far. and exchange in small amounts on
New York, can be procured with it i; but
for any large amount of gold or exchange
it is utterly refused even by those who are
the principal instruments in putting it inte
circulation. That this currency is to bo
short lived is readily admitted by all i; but
every person hopes to make it snswer their
purposes, and be very careful not TO have
any of it on hand when the crash comes -
Reporter, April l6.
The st. Paul Minnesoieam kicks the cur
rency Of that State, and tells everybody to
stand Prom mder. Mr.. Councillor Ames
collected about 5000 of it, and tried but
could net, buy draft or some gold at any
premium. He finally swapped it. without
boot for some city scrip. If the Bankers of
St Paul don't boot Counsellor Ames, they
will never be eminent in the science Of cur
reucy making.-Reporter, April 23.
