bamians, and n majority to AabAmians

sons of much note are among the num-

crowd of female applicants was not
sensibly diminished by tho unfavora-

printed from the original dies, which
were engraved outside the Treasury mt

the eye of the Secretary, and all trans
actions between outside engrayers and
the Treasury Department were closed
and settled by the payment of the
