Grants majority in the entire State u 721.

Frank Piukham, seaman The schooner

MIR. LYNCHs FINANCIAL ScHEME.-Special
dispatches from Washington speak of consul
tations of such members of Congress as hap
pened to be in town on Tuesday on financial
questions. 1t seems to have been the opinion
of all that in order to adapt the volume of cur
rency to the wants of the business public it
would be necessary to provide for the issue of
bonds bearing currency interest at a-low rate,
convertible at the pleasure of the holder into
greenbacks and rice uersa. In this way it is
hoped to prevent the recurrence of such finan-
cial deran ,ements arising from stringency in
the money market as have recently befallen in
New York. Only the most meagre outlines of
the plan are given in the dispatches, but so far
as we can judge it is identical with Mr.
Lynch's bill for preventing undue expansions
and contractions of the currency which is now
pending in the House.

ALARMING The boot OF q man was found
yesterday morning floating on the surface Of
the sea of mud near the foot of Exchange
street. 1t is supposed some fool-bardy person
attempted to cross the street, pitched into the
mud and went down head first. one of his
boots coming off in his descent. If it had not
rained yesterday an attempt would have been
made to dig him out
An accident of similar nature occurred at
the Junction OF York and Danforth streets, as
is supposed from a shoe Icing found floating in
the mud. There is no truth in the report that
a carriage loaded with passengers sunk out OF
sight on that spot It would have been the
case had not the driver whipped up his horses
as the carriage was sinking, and thus avoided
the dread calamity

"THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES, ITS CAUSES,
CHARACTER, CONDUCT AND kEsuLTs, by
Hon. Alexander II. Stephens. i the tile o.
valuable work just issued BY the NATIONAL
Publishing Co., ST. Louis, Mo.
Histories OF the late civil war have
sprung up like mushrooms, and they can
now be numbered almost by hundreds,
but all who are DESTROYS of arriving at q
correct understanding Of the causes, and
a clear history Of the events Of the late
lamentable war, have felt the want Of a
reliable history of the same from South
ern stand point, by some representative
man of the South. This want is about
to be supplied by Alex. 81. Stephens.
The bare announcement that this dis
tinguished statesman had determined to
write book, would of itself, be sufficient
to kin1le lively and widespread inter
est in all sections of the country; but
when it is known that he has chosen as
his theme the one 80 fruitful as the late
American war, the absorbing interest of
the subject, together with the evident and
singular fitness of the author for its
treatment, unite in awakening a curiosity
entirely unparalleled in the annals of
American literature. Itpresents a care
full political analysis of the past, separa-
ting real from apparent causes of the late
unhappy conflict, and gives those interior
lights and shadows of the great war, only
known to those high officers, who watched
the flood-tide of revolution from its foun
tain springs, and which were so access
sible to Mr.. Stephens, from his position
as second officer of the Confederacy.
This most valuable work is sold only by
subscription, and the publishers want an
agent in every county.

INTERESTING TO BANKRUPTs. will

act to amend the bankrupt act has be-

time for taking the benefit of the law is
extended from June /, 1868, to January
l, 1869. All who wish to avail them
selves of the benefits of the act can do SO
without regard to the fifty per cent
clause, and whether they have assets or
not. This information will prove graft
flying to many who, wishing to avail
themselves of the benefits of the law,
have been unable thus far to do So We
shall publish the amendment as soon as
received.
