the aggregate, appropriated out of the Treasury
the sum Of 1913 O76,527 g. At the extra session

The total amount, therefore, for the Two sessions
reaches the enormous sum Of 81, ,i78, 49, s24 62--
Nearly all of this vast outlay was rendered ueces-
sary by the rebellion At the recent session, the

the "Selma Real Estate Bank" an institution that
exploded some years ago. These Cotes are of va
rious denominations, ranging from 81 to 500, and
the alterations attempted by the counterfeiters are
