suits that must ensue. This combination will
pay fabulous sums for lobby expenses, and it is

plus of twenty millions, three millions will

Raymond, of New York, asked Bingham of Ohio,
what had become of the resolution for the ad-
mission Of Tennessee, and if it would be brought
up again for Reconsideration. Bingham of Ohio,
replied that the gentleman was mistaken as to the

be right to vote On it SO soon. Raymond re-

CHICAGO, March 23-An itcn! vas telegraph
ed which says that Treasurer Spinner had pub ]
lisRed a letter maintaining the correctness OF
Controller Clark's statement. The fact is rer-
cisely the reverse. Treasurer Spirner,s letter
explains that the books in his Office are the cnly
authority on the treasury finances, and that the
CONTROLLER does not and cannot know from his
own books the cyact current condition of &c
counts with the national banks. He SAYS the
deposits in national banks are returned weekly |
as certificates and reports received balancing |
as cash in the treasury. The discrepancy be- |
tween the bank report and the treasury state |
ment arises from the fact that the banks are
charged weekly with the amounts deposited |
corrected daily with checks drawn on them |
hence it occurs that the amount due the depart |
ment and the books OF the banks will differ ma |
terially Rom the balances according TO the |
books of the department For instance, the treas
ury may draw to-day on different deposits The |
banks should of course be accredited with |
the amountof checks drawn upon them while |
they cannot charge the Government until the |
checks are presented which may not happen for
days or weeks after
The Charleston Courier says it is hardly pos
sikle to. imagine the extent to which the small |
poX prevails throughout the entire South. In |
some places the blacks furnish the most victims, |
while in others the white population suffers most.
No care to prevent its spreading is paid in med !
ical treatment. Those who have the disease walk |
through the streets in the most indifferent and un
concerned manner, in several of the large towns.
