ses an editorial on the final overthrow OF
slavery by the adoption of the Constitu-
tional Amendment, thus
To-day not a slave stands upon the soil

SALE AT THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE.
The curiosities of the mail service win
be well shown by the annual auction sale
of the dead letter Office which commences
Monday evening. The schedule of arti-
cles to be disposed of comprises almost
everything of personal wear or adornment
the latter, however, predominating, such
as jewelry of every description, watches
chains, rings, lockets, etc, ect., makes the
bulk Of the catalogue. There was even
gas burner miscarried through the mails
and any quantity of tobacco, and hair
brushes, and patent medicines have met
a like fate Nobody has any idea Of the
queer uses to which the mails are put un-
til they glance over the revelations Of the
Dead Letter Office.

Ratto@a3 BanEs-The Tribune has the following
on natioREa banks and specie payments in its last
issue
The alarm shown at every rumor of trouble
among the national banks is very significant, and
should teach BOFrowers caution. Ii is well known
that large ElaSority these institutions live mainly
upon their circulation, and that any attenlpt 10
make tlem rGeeem their notes in legal tender
would force them into liquidation by scores, For
the present, lfT. Mccullough has abandoned His
effort to bring about specie payments and il the
leading intlaiOnist of the day; but this cannot
last and borrowers must be careful and not he too
much expanded when he returns as he nnpet tn
the principles of his Fort Wayne speech ana his
annual report The country cannot afT,rd IT, cnn
f,lnue business upon irredeemable paper and sue
G25stuliy compete Win nations paying specie and
GG specie must return at no distant dav Tho
retErn, come by whatTOute it may, will cause GREAT
distress to all who are debtors during the pr0cpss
Aand are obliged to pay debts with assets daijv
shriTIking under the appreciation of paper to gold,
The use of paper money by the treasury during
the GebelliOn was desperate resort, and it's cost
has gtS to be borne by the country.
. The Panic in Ea92and-At the date of the
dspartsre of the Persia, the financial and CONNER
cia[ affairs of England continued to show great de-
preston The bank returns show a continued
drain Of geld and the pressure for money indicates
that the crisis is not yet over. The Times, in its
city article, says
Although tie suspension of the bank charter
1ct did g0o3 fog O moment, by arresting the disas
rous run on the banks, it can now hardly be cues
ioned that it NaG IN some respects aggravated the
,ommeroial pressure, and intensifes the inconve-
.enee to which all aercantile and financial classes
lave been exposed.
The Times adds;
Either the crisis must be allowed to wear itself
out, no matter over what penod it may extend, or
what destruction it may cause, or if relief is to
be sought, it must be through other means than
suspension of the bank act,
II suggests an issue of interest bearing credit
notes, at three or six months as the bast means of
relief.
Among the latest suspensions are MacCulloch,
John Co., of Liverpool, India merchants, with
abilities to the amount of ESQ 600; and w. K.
Jonbrough Co., of Liverpool, American cotton
anerchauts, with liabilities OF Gi50,0O0.
