Eg"S Since the advent of Col CLARENCE j
PRENTICE, Of the Rebel army, as local editor
Of the Louisville journal, the reading matter
of that paper is becoming a little mired The
hopeful CLARENCE has all his life been a source
of great trouble to GEORGE D., and cow he il
demonstrating the beauties of practical polit-
zeal amalgamation in the columns of the Jour
nal, his department being devoted principally
to the defence and applause of the late lead
ing Rebels. 1t doubtless makes very littlc
difference to the Senior PRENTICE, except S,
far as its appearance in the eyes of the public
is concerned, for We are satisfied if he resided
in Maryland he would be unable to vote under
our registry law.

The Gold Checks Used in New York.

In connection with the recent excitement
in New York, and exposure of some of the
proceedings ef the gold gamblers, the follow
ing from the Herald of the 10th is Of general
interest
WHAT CONSTITUTES GoLD CHECKS.
Gold checks, as explained by those who
are deeply versed in the arts and sciences APP
pertaining to the transaction Of bushes upen
Wall street, are simply certified checks of the
Bank of New York, supposed to stand in the
place of the precious metal stored by the par
ties obtaining the certificates in the eapacieus
vaults Of that cstablishment-that is, to be
more explicit, g. party having five thousand
dollars in gold, Or larger or smaller sum,
would take the same 20 tho bank OF New York,
deposit it there, and receive for the same Il
certain form Of the certificate of deposit, specl-
flying the date and sum there placed to his
credit.
The endorsement of the officers Of the New
York Bank, or clearing hoase for gold, made
the chccl, in effect gold, and as sach the docu-
mcnt passed from bank to bank, and from in
dividual to individual as dc''jacto. This was
deemed necessary, some time si:acc, to prevent
loss by swndlers. who carried lead in their
gold bags, to save the trouble OF transporting
valuable parcels through crowded street,
thus Offering temptation to those supposed to
be unable to resist it, and for the more general
convenience of the gold merchants in their
daily transactions with each etker.
In sOme cases these certificates would CIR
culatc through the various channels of trade
and commerce, and several days would inter-
venc before they wculd ti.,aay reach the house
making them for redemption. Hight of these
