to increase and now comprise fully one

Applications from banks to be desig-
| mated as u. S. repositories are received
| in great numbers by the Secretary OF the
| Treasury. Not more than one out OF
| twenty of the applications receive a
| favorable consideration, for already, in
| nearly every region Of the country, save
| the South, there have been more deposit
tories designated than is warranted by
| the exigencies of the Government or the
various communities in which they arc
located. In view of this fact the Scre-
tary of the Treasury has determined to
sparingly designate banks for The pnr-
pose named and as near rs possible c0u-
fine the number in thiekly populated re-
gons to one L. S. Depository 10 cach con
gressional district. In sparscly settled
communities the number will he still
less.

Kenneth Raynor writes letter from
North Carolina to a friend i'll tits city,in
which he states that unless the Govern
ment compels the rebels to treat the
freedmen with less cruelty, ti.rc VIII
certainly be rising OF the nrgi",S and
bloody retaliation there. lie Is prepar-
ing letter for publication III which he
will give full account Of the true con-
dition of affairs in the North State. MIR.
Raynor's earnest efforts TO the Fremont
campaign in Pennsylvania and elsewhere
will be remembered, and his consistent
Unionism during the past four years jus,
titles the expectations OF his many loNal
friends throughout the country.
A thorough and most rigid inyeStlSa-
ton is being made by Secretary McCul-
loch into the mystery OF the oiUO com
pound interest notes. This is undoubt-
cdly the most dangerous counterieiis
which has as yet appeared, and may well
challenge the scrutiny OF the Bank Note
COMPANIES and all who have been en-
ployed in any wise upon the government
dies and plates. The face of the note IS
n most accurate imitation of the genuine,
while the back is either the genuine gov
ernment plate or an electrotypc from IT;
1t seems settled that either the original
plates engraved by the American Bank
Note Company have been allowed to get
into improper hands, or this fac simile
was obtained by the electrotype process
On the first hypothesi5 il is diff euh to
see why the genuine face was NOT OBJ
tanned in the same way, but if the plate
from which it was printed was obtained
by electrotyping, the probable reason
for the face not having been eleCtrotyped
is that the vignette and other portions
Of it are engraved upon several pieces,
while the back is in one L. ornnection
with the electrotyping theols II Is now
remembered that experiments IN the du-
plication of plates by that method were
carried on in the Treasury bullJhnG by
persons not regular employees 1t the
Government, at intervals CeiCI' Mr
McCulloch became Secretary, with na view
to the adoption of the process, anu hat
such multiplication OF the plates was
characterized at the time as independ,
ent. 1t is known that bill plates have
been boxed at the Treasury and cent Il"
New York to outside parties tor backing
and in this manner may have fallen into
improper hands But it cannot he de
MED that in the earlier stages of making
these plates at the Treasury Department,
greater opportunities were permitted
there for their irsurreptitiOus electrotypng
than at any other point, or by any other
parties. The honor and inte.2St OF every
employee of the currency iinting Bu-
| reau being so sigually involved, ii Is
hoped that every thing which can posi-
bly, throw light upon so important a
matter, will receive the most thorough
sitting in the investigations now going
forward.
The State Department is in receipt to-
day of voluminous dispatches from cur
Consuls at Constantinople, Smyrna Port
Mahin and Barcelona, giving further ia
formation of the ravages OF the cholera
in various parts of Europe. The reports
from Coustantinople are most alarming,
the deaths from this disease having reach
ed the number of two thousand per day.
At Smyrna the epidemic was checked
some time since, but it has broken out
afresh, and is now spreading to a fright
full extent.
The Herald's special says: Among those
pardoned today was j. R. Anderson al
the Richmond Tredegar Iron Works His
case was embarrassed by coming under
three special objections: he is gradn-
ate of West Point, was general in tic
rebel service, and is worth ovef s20,Uilb.

gave the case more than ordinary con.
sideration, and finally granted the par
