Bowen AT MoM DIRTY WoRK.-,
Congressman, G. G. Bowen, who, if
he had received his deserts, would now.
be either in the Penitentiary or
corpse, made such by sheriff and
gallows, is still here. 1t has been a
matter of surprise that he should
linger here when his duties and per
diem call him to Washington. But
he has been busily engaged on other
than Congressional duties. His OBJ.
jecta in remaining behind have been,
if report be true, to secure tho pas
sage of the coin,bill, and the election
of Whipper tothe Supreme Bench.
By securing Whipper's election he
removes formidable rival from his
path, for it IL understood that he
would run for Congress- against Bowen.
What hiaGfnotises' are in securing the
passage of,the' coin bill are not 40
easily OWNED, but it is understood to
be to get the Influence of The State
ofic ials, who are supposed to be inter-
ested in the kill-only for the credit
of the State, 1T is freely reported
that money has been used or promised
by Bowen to influence members to
vote for the election Of Whipper and
the passage ofSthe bill. During yes.
terday and to-day, when tho coin bill
was under discussion, colored mem
bers, as ] am Informed, were heard to
remark to each other, "Have you rs.
ceivsd yoar money for this p and to
make similar remarks. Thess 70.
marks were not overheard by me, but
knowing the character of my infor.
mant, / have no doubt that they were
made.--Cor. Charleston NeDs.

The Treasury Report.

Mr.. Boutwell's report is of the
highest importance. Among the more
salient and gratifying points is his an.
nouneement that, including the inter-
est earned and not paid, and deduct.
ing the cash on hand, the debt of the
United States on the lst of March
lart was $2,525463, ,26O.0l, and, sub.
ject to the sa ne conditions, it was
$2,453, 3,559,735l % on the first of the
present month, showing decrease of
%l ,9o3,525.78, This apparent de-
crease of the public debt is less than
the actual decrease. Considerable
sums have been paid on account of
war and other Old claims not previ.
ously ascertaintd, and therefore not
included in any debt statement.
The Secreta B found the Sinking
Fund provision of law utterly neg.
lected. He now reports the law COM
piled with, theb being surplus of
of. $55, $4,000 in redeemed bonds to
be added to the Fund.
Mr.. Boutwell, proposes that the
resumption of specie payments be de-
layed until part Sf the Five-Twenty
bonds can be fund ID in a new 49 per
cent. gold loan, whiph he would limit
to $l 0O0,0o0,00O, Or at most $l, ,s0O,-
100000, one-third payable after fff-
teen and within twenty years. one-
third after twenty aud within twenty
Ave years, oue-third after twenty five
and within thirty years, for which
Five-Twenties should be exohangable,
which National banks should be re-
quired to keep rs the basis of their
circulation, which should be free from
taxation, and the interest," of which
should be payable eithsr here or at
the leading money centers of Europe,
as might be desired.

The Difficult. and rarely attempted
eurgSA operation Of the TRANSMISSION OF
blood has recently been successfully per.
formed in the Pennsylvania Hospital.
a young man in the upper part of The
city was wounded on the inner surface of
the upper lip. The wound continued to
bleed for 10 days, after which time the
patient was sent to the surgical wards of
the hospital. Several remedies were
applied. and the arteries supplying the
face were tied, bat without success in
controlling the flow Of blood. Reconre-
was naxt bad. to cithin6 down to the
common carotid or great artery Of the
the neck. and applying ligature, so az
to obstruct entirely the course of the
blood. The oozing Of the blood still
continued. but in lessened quantity :.
On the 18th Of October the patient was
in such state of extreme exhaustion
from the long continued hemorrhape
that his death seemed to be imminent.
and, as last resource, the attending
surgeon resolved to try the effect of
transfuslon. Two medical students
barred their arms and gave the blood
required for the occasion. Five ounces
and half OF tbel blood was infused into
the vein ofe feashAEm of the patient, tho
marked good eSF Ftcts Of which were

The CcssIptrolIer,s Rcport.

The following is brief synopsis of
the annual report of HiIand r. HUI
burd, Comptroller of the Currency:
Since the last annual report, nine
National banks have been orgsnizcd,
making the total number up TO Octo-
Der, 1860, 1904, of which ,62O are
in active operation.
The total amount of notes, and
fragments of notes. of all denomine.
tions, outstanding September 3Oth,
1869, is $299.7S9,895. The total
amount of U. S. bonds held by the
Treasurer of the United States to Sc
cure the redemption of the circula-
ting notes of national banks, on the
30th of September, 1869, is $342,-
475,l0O.
Owing to tho abuse of the present
Jaw concerning liquidation, it is re-
commended than Congress pass an act,
requiring all hanks that 20 into IL
quidation to deposit legal tender notes
for their outstanding circulation, and
take up their bonds deposited with
the Treasurer of the United States
within sixty days from the date of the
vote to go into liquidation.
1t is recommended that all taxes
imposed on national banks by the
United States, be made returnable
and payable toythe Treasurer of the
United States.
The recommendation of the estab.
lishment of an agency in New York
City, to redeem the issues and trans
act the business of national banks, is
renewed.
The average dividends made by
national banks during tho last year,
are said not to exceed ten per cent.
upon their capital, af,er deducting
taxes and expenses.
The total increase of United States
currency for thsAYcar is S3,7l3,642.
The volume Of ctfrency now stands
$500, 100000 issuel by Government.
and $3oO,000,0o0 by banks. 1t is
urged that there should be but one
paper currency, and that should cma.
nate from source that is Influenced
by and amenable to the laws of the
State, 1t is claimed that the present
banking system is an improve cement,
and its faults ars the result of an
irredeemable currdacy. A self.ad.
justirg system of currency is needed,
and may be reached through the
agency Of the national banks, before
the return of specie payments. BY
the Establishment dfl banks on specie
basis, the resumptt.u of specie pay
ment is only Anticipated, and famil-
iarity with gold saiucs will tend to
relieve tho subject Of its mystery.
a Looking forward to uniform values,
by wise legislation now, national
banking system can be established
which will furnish sound currency
of uniform value plevery State in the
Union.--S @. RepaJliean.

A FAT Jos.-The general provis-
ions of the gold bill, now before the
Legislature, are these:
SECTION J.. Tha: the principal of
all bonds and stocks Of this State, and
the interest thereon, shall be paid in
gold or silver coin. u
Sec. 2. That tho Treasurer of this
State is hereby authorized and requir-
ed to make the necessary exchanges
throug h the Financial Agent of this
State, in New York, for carrying this
into effect.
Sec. 3. That this act shall take Of.
feet Immediately.
The 'interest" is . small matter r.

following amounts:
6 per cent. stock due 1870, S3l4,45s
9 per cent. bonds due 1871, 100000
Total, S8la45a
Supposing that they buy up these
securities at go TO 10 per cent. in cur.
rencf, and obtain payment at par in
gold, there would be profit on the
transaction Of about three hundred
thousand dollars in gold. This is
worth praying for, lobbying for and

Woods Military History of

We arc in receipt of a late letter
from Mr.. A. p. Wood, of Dubuque,
who has been engaged for several
years upon work that shall bear the
above title. AS we know something
Of Mr.. Wood, and something OF the
collection Of material he has made for
this great work, we look for work that
shall be !ro,itimcnt to the State Of
Iowa and the noble men who went
from her generous bosom to defend
our national lite. We take the liberty
to extract from Mr.. Woods letter the
following, relating to the progress lie
is making in his work.
II have now about four months
work to 10 before gong to press, and
it will take four months to complete
the printing; consequently eight
months must clapse before. the History
can be given to the public. Practlc-
ally, l find that the movement falls in
to about two year periods; say two
years Of accumulation, two years OF
examination, and two years OF prepa-
ration. Just imagine, if you please,
that you propose to thoroughly histor-
ize the transactions of the State in its
social, it's legislative and it's executive
relations to the war; that you propose
TO show how its many thousands of
Soldiers marched, fought, and endur-
cd; that you propose to show why the
warfare, and with what results and
consequences it was attended, and
Judge that you will conclude that the
periods / have named are none too
long to attain the accomplishment Of
