advertisements for the South for all its

to be considerably less than formerly,
and It Is the intention of the Depart

eeipts.
The Treasury Department Is now

THR King Of Prussia and his Minis
ter, Won Bismarck, are apparently re.
solved TO find out how much tho pro
verbal patience of the long suffering
and good natured Prussian people win
endure. For years they have been car
rying on this cruel experiment. They
have virtually changed the form OF gov
ernment from a constitutional mon
archy to an absolute despotism. They
have in effect, annuIled the constitn-
tion. Again and again has the popular
branch of the PrussIan chambers ra-

determined to proceed as il that Cham

NKw York, Aug. 20.-The Times
Washington special says the court mar
tial for the trial of Paymaster Webb
has just closed its labors. During It's
progress some strange disclosures were
made of the scandalous manner in
which an INSCRIPTIONS set of sharpers
in this city conspired with disbursing
officers of the government and defraud-
ed the soldiers out of their hard earn-
ings. n jew, who was dismissed the
service for defrauding the government
at the beginning of the war, but who
has since been doing business here, and
holding somewhat suspicious relations
with some disbursing officers of the
government, was put on the witness
stand and made to testify that he him
self hnd purchased no less than eight
hundred check books of the soldiers;
that the aggregate amount of these was
S40O, 600. Alter a good deal of e0ufyo-
cation he also confessed TINT the lowest
rate of discount at which he took any
OF them was ten per cent, which, taken
10 tAAA ~ give tu6 nice
little sum of $40, 600 alone. This, how
ever, is only one among the many de-
vices in this city for Fleeing soldiers
Tint such things should be carried on
under the very shadow of the goyeFn-
ments and I'M city full of detectives
whose business IL Is to protect our sol.
d1ersJ Is burning shame. Mo- doubt
the Jew considers them legitimate trans
actions, and he may corrupt the die
bursting officers and share with them
his ill-gotten gains without the sliphtqsf
fear of punishment. - :
The check-bOOks were given TO the
soldier In payment of bounty and was
q means OF protecting him against
sharpers as well as Inducing economy.
They weremade payable by the pay-
master Of the regiment to which the
soldier belonged, and only to the sol
der himself. This was believed to be
suihcient protection against sWindIeFs
and shRrpers, and would have been II
the ipaymaStefs had performed their
duty properly, and it Is very well un-
deFstOOd that no claim agent or broker
would have dared to purchase them
without Q previous understanding with
the Paymaster, for without that, they
would be valueleSS in his hands. Cen
eral Welles intends TO follow nm this
matter, and IL could not be in better
hands.

MANUFACTURES, merchants, bank
eFs and bushes men gdlisEalIy would
consult their interests aud the interests
OF thePost once Department susing
the government stamped envelope in
their correspondence instead Of the or
binary. envelopes, ana for these, among
other reasons, viz:
Because It's cheaper than to buy the
ordinary envelopes and put three cent
stamps on them. The paper, sizing and
whole appearance Of the government
envelope is superior to that Of any 9th
eF of Like grade.
Because there are no stamps to rub
of, and consequently no letters to be
held for postage. Frequently the most
careful business houses neglect to put
stamps on theirletters, and Consequent
ly the letters do not go forward 10 their
destination. All such risks are avoided
by the use ofthe government envelope.
Because the Postofice Depart
ment, desiring to render the cor
respondence Of the country as GER
tain and secure as possible,
and wishing to curta1 the list of dead
letters, offers to print, free Of charge,
the address of every firm or business
house ON their envelopes, provided they
order not less than one thousand at a
time. A request to the postmaster at
the Office of destination to return the
letter to the address OF the writers with
in ten days, If not called for, Is printed
ON the end Of the envelope.
The price of government envelopes
thus printed land the same if not print
ed) is thirty-four dollars and eighty
cents perthousand. thousand stamps
cost thirty dollars of themselves. Busi-
ness men.thus get a thousand superior
envelops. nicely printed, for four dol
lars and eighty cents. The Inducements
in point of economy, convenience and
Increased security, are thus about as
strong as they could be made. I'LL
To get these envelopes, written appli-
cation must be made to the post mas
ter, enclosing p check for the amount
ordered, and also the business card of
the firm or person ordering.
Single or double rate three or six
cent? enve1oPs, can be ordered
Newspapers generally should publish
these facts.

THE Bank note issue at Wheeling
used to be about one million five hun
bred thousand dollars. When the Mer-
chants National, and the National
Bank of West Virginia, Onte North
westerly get their notes, the whole is
sue, together with that of the First Ma
tional, will be about eight hundred and
ten Thousands little more than half
what it used to be. The issue at other
points in the State Will not fall or so
much, although the aggregate will pos
sibly be less. There is an increased
circulation Mt Parkersburg, where they
now have three National banks. They
used to have but one bank there-the
branch of the Northwestern. There is
an increase of bank circulation in the
smaller towns in our vicinity in Ohio.
For instance, at GAINESVILLE, Smith
field, st, ClairsviIle and other like
places, they have National banks,
where formerly they had no banks.
The inducements to bank, even in the
small towns, are very much more
tempting than they used to be. Profits
can be made without a great amount
of depOsits, contrary to the old work
ing. The Government bonds purcbas-
ed by the National banks tocommencC
with, as the basis of their issue, yield
them six per cent. in gold. The issuC
obtained thus can either be loaned al
six per cent. more in currency, or in
vested in Seven-Thirties drawing q
still higher rate. Here, then, is twelve
per cent, and more, exclusive of de
Posits. Nearly all of them can borrow
special deposits, running for six month!
or a year, at four and five per cont, ans
loan them out Mt six per cent. or inves
in Governments. A portion of thei
regular call deposits they can use in TIN
same wny. stin farther, Government
generally deposits more or less will
every National bank, and thus helps /.
swell their profits. 1t Is fair to sa.
that most any National bank ought t
net twelve per cent. under these cir
cumstances.

THUR8DAK IEORNIEG, AUGUST 81.

Gov. BRoUGH, OF Ohio, Whose death
@asannounesd In yesterday 3 dispatch
eA WPs. IN many respects great man.
He rose from obscurity, was entirely
self made, and hence had not the eul-
ture Of men bqFn 70 better advantages.
He Was not polished In his intercourse,
but blunt. Such man necessarily
could not pass for his full worth blunt
men never do. HIS great talents, how
ever, ovsrcame those whom his man
ners repeIled. BE ruled and attracted
by force OF mind, NOT suavity. As an
executive officer It is said Ohio never
had his equal. Before his election as
Governor he was called the Railway
King Of the West. It Is rare to find so
practical man 80 great an orator.
Logic and rhetoric in him were most
happily combined. Cold aud far seeing
as man Of business, Gov. Brough was
impaSsionate and eloquent on the
stump. He was at one time the pride
Of the Democratic party In Ohio, and
they Withdrew Wilson Shannon once
for Governor and put Brough on the
track as the only man ft to cope
with COTwiH.
Gov. Broughi commenced life as an
editor, and in 1892 published the Ga
zette at Parkersburg in this State. He
was born just across from there, in Ma
Tietta. Returning to Ohio he continued
in the newspaper business, OF and on,
for several years, and attained emil
hence as wrfter-especialIy as prac-
teal thinker. The "hundred day"
military campaign was of his sug-
gestion while, Governor. His marvel
lous power Of organization was strik-
ingly manifested in the CELEBRITY and
efficiency with which he put the Ohio
National Guard into the. field, secre-
tary Stanton and Gov. Brough were
devoted friends;-they were so much
alike in their virtues and faults. The
lamented deceased was in his ffty-fffth
year at the time of his death. The Ma
ton will ever honor him for the con-
spicuous part he took in suppressing
the great rebellion. He loved his
country devotedIy and served her
1althIuliy.

prices. There are scarcely any buyers
around.
The Hon. Geo. v. Lawrence, NJ. C..
and wife, were passengers on the steam
er Fayette, that collided In the Monon-

The Reporter still laInents over the
unfinished condition of the CHARTERS
