Counterfeit Ten Dollar Notes.

The new counterfeit ten dollar bills
which have created SO great an excite
ment among bankers and United States
treasurcrs, it is said, are the finest exc
cuted counterfeits ever thrown upon
the community. A description of the
counterfeit from Washington says: d
"At first glance they seem to be a
perfect imitation of the $40 greenback,
and the printing seems to have been
done from the original plate, but there
are points of difference which are thus
noted: In the horiginal the shading
around the 10 in the medallion appears
like fine network. and runs close up
to the figures. In the counterfeit oDtc
this shading is picked up, land becomes
coarse as it reaches the figures, forming
a light streak or circular haze similar
to that about the moon before rain
There is no haze in the genuine note
This is slight point for detection. A
clearer one is the fact that in the origi.
nal notes, within the light circle run.
ming under the figures 10, there are
three and third dots on the left of the
figure |. In the counterfeit bill the one.
third dot is missing. But an infalliblo
mark of distinction is found under the
left wing of the eagle. In the genuine
notes are four distinct rows of feath.
ers under the wing. In the counter.
feits these rows of feathers are unde.
fined and this seems to be the only
weak spot i'll the whole engraving"

The Man Boutwell,.

A Washington dispatch says: Mr..
Boutwell,, since his appointment has
been quite as active in the reorganiza.
ton of the Secretary's Office proper as
his assistants have been in reducing the
Conservative. strength in the other bu-
reaus of the department. Boutwelfs
intention. now nearly completed, is to
have in immediare official connection
with himself only men after his own
heart. 1t looks somewhat, as if Presi-
dential ring is being organized, with
matters so arranged that everything of
an official character comes under the
supervision Of Mr., Boutwell, himself,
or one of his Interested friends. No
outsiders are to know aught of matters
manifested in the Secretary's office.

The proposal to deduct Il tax from the
coupons of all bonds that are held
abroad is likely to come under the con-
sidcration of Congress next session.
The present state Of the law unques-
tionably tends to make foreigners our
principal bondholders-the worst We
could have, as they yearly drain the
country of its gold. We don't see why
they who reap the profits should alto.
gother escape the burdens because they
chance to be foreigners ;. and since the
holders of bonds in this country pay q
tax on the interest it is neither just mol
reasonable that the others should be ex
cmpted. Congress, we hold, has righ
to impose such a tax, and there are few
who will question its, expedicnoy as &
measure tending to keep our bonds and
our gold out out of the hands of foreign
speculators. ,.,-.

ANDY RriiyiytIs.

The New York Heruld, which occa-
sionally INDUCES in a little quiet hui
NOR, says: The last from Tennessee
says that Andy johnson will undoubt-
edly make vigorous effort to secure
the privilege Of presently representing
that State in the United States Senate.
This ought to be true, and we hope it is.
If Andy makes any effort it will be a
vigorous one, and We therefore hope he
will follow the advice so vainly given
to Mrs. Dombey and .'.make an effort
Partly this hope is selfish. Times are
dull now. Insipidity reigns even at the
watering places. There will be. spice in
the world once more in a moderate way
if Andy makes an effort. But partly
also, the hope is patriotic, for Andy, in
all soberness, ought to be in the Senate,
No man in the United States could be
of more use there, and there is no man
whom the Radical faction would less
like to see there. d. III .Iiz Fl .ses.:.

Hint to business Men.

q The New York Sun throws out the
following hint to interior dealers
Everybody is complaining of a great
deaith of business. Stores are glutted
with, goods, and merchants are ready to
sell on time to safe purchasers on their
own terms, yet the customers do not
come. Whether they are deferred by
the torrid heats, want of confidence, or
the lack of cash, we can't say; but it
strikes us, as things stand, they are ra-
ther short-sighted. In this season of
stagnation the forehandcd man might
well lay in his fall and winter stock at
the discount which he can always com
mand at such time. In addition to low
prices ruling in mercantile circles, the
railway companies now, for want of
freight, are putting their rates down to
the very lowest figures. All of them
take whatever offers, and SO great is the
scramble for the little business doing
that shippers can send off their goods
at less than a quarter Of the cost OF
transportation in ordinary seasons.-
Such opportunities ought to stimulate
country buyers to make their purchases
now, while bargains can be had and
lreights are at the lowest ebb. A word
to the wise is sufficient. p,

Is the Solar System In Danger?,

The London Spectator has a curious
speculation upon The Solar Mutabili-
ty," the scientific basis of which is in
the following facts: ra.s 3. t,iu
7 The sun has been shown to be subject
to variations in brightness and, heat,
which entitle it TO be called variable
star. These changes are periodical, and
arc pretty certainly connected. with
}" magnetic storms OH earth, which
take place when the spots on the sur
face of tlie sun are agitated. On Sep.
tember j, 1859, the most remarkable of
these storms that has been observed
took place, and all the .telegraphic wires
of both hemispheres- were disturbed.
In some places severe shocks were felt
by operators, and even flames appeared
in the Instruments; at night magnifi-
cent auroras were seen. Another simi-
lar storm is expected in 1870 astrono-
mers believing that it will recur every
eleven years. ''''" ""' = '''i-"
The Spectator believes that mems
minds are greatly Influenced by the agi-
tations going on in the sun. It says!
And we know that these appearances
are notmerely matters for the curious,
with which, as they happen at n dis
tance of about ninety millions of miles,
practical men need not concern them
selves. In point of fact, it is by no
means impossible that the issues Eof
peace or war, of q financial crisis or a
religious agitation, may be closely bound
up with these phenomena: if not, in
ldeed-which is also quite possible--thc
sudden disappearance of our Whole sys-
tenn, after the fashion of other solar
systems which have thus. disappeared.
This much, at least, is certain. that the
vast changes now going on in the pbysi-
cal constitution of the sun are changes
which do most powerfully affect the
electric condition of our earth, which
have i'll former years caused the most
violent disturbances in the various ai.ti-
fetal as well as natural electric appa-
ratuses of the world we live in, which,
to speak of the least of all its possible
effects, might Just as well as not happen
isome day TO throw the electric condi-
ton of ever telegraphic cable OH our
planet, under, the sea or above it,, into
the most dire confusion, and send down
telegraph companies shares to zero in q
lump. even if they did not cohtrive to
telegraph to us, after some strange inar-
ticulate fashion, that shares in all public
companies, even, in that very limited
public company, the human race, are, in
physical point Of view, of very doubt
ful value indeed. ''H.' '' 7'HHf,i 'di
Some of the British writer's try TO
make q first-class Z" sensation = Of the
matter. A few years ago, a small star
suddenly blazed into great brightness
and burned out, and the spectroscope
showed that the flame was burning hy-
drogen. Now, it is certain that the sun
contains an immense amount of hydro
gen, and at times sends up flames of it
many thousands of miles. What would
be the result if the sun should suddenly
develop blaze like that of the star, SO
recently lost? "The earth would be
turned into vapor," says attending man

JOurnalism---ItS Duties,

The New York Times has the follow
ing paragraph on the uses and abuses
Of journalism: ..: .:........-.. .......
There is II method of advocating a
cause by dcnouncing its enemies, which
may be, and often is, carried to excess,
especially by youthful partisans. 1t is
not by harshness nor by persistent de.
traction that men are persuaded to
abandon. their opinions, and those who
ply that sort of warfare are usually less
intent Oh gaining proselytos than in
making a public. or partisan merit OF
their zeal. No one is fit to be guide
to public opinion who has not learned
that the bad men are not generally quite
SO bad, nor the good men quite so good
as the intemperate partisan is disposed
to believe him, and soft words often
dissolve prejudices and errors in our
adversaries which violence and detrac-
ton render solid and imperishable.

Universal Suffrage.


~ Our readers klow-somero of them at
least--that Universal Suffrage pl evails
in France, and that the Emperor gencr.
ally directs the voting, just as a few
Radical leaders direct the negro vote in
this country. A New York paper, dis.
cussing the probability Of a conflict be-
tween the legislative power and Louis
Napoleon, says: Is it impossible that on
the occasion of the first appeal to the
people the people should go against the
Emperor? In France the moneyed
classes rule, as they rule all the world
over. If the moneyed classes go against
the Emperor universal suffrage will not
save him. We require but some such
illustration to convince the world that
universal suffrage is mockery, a delu-
sion and a snare. 1l3A Hf.Ii gFNn p'

The Future Status.


1t is the business Of an honest jour-
nalist to Keep his readers up with all
movements of a political nature, and
though but very few of the many specu-
lations which come beneath his eye are
hardly worth the paper they are printed
on, some of them at least are interest
ing for their novelty, if for nothing
more so)id' With this introduction we
copy the following from q letter of ex-
Supervisor: Noah, of this State, to the
New York Times, written d few days
before the election. lie is speaking of
the Legislature, and the prospective
contest for United States Senator:
The fight for the Senatorship will be
quite lively, and at this date it is impos-
sibe to more than guess at the result.
Mr.. Noah thinks Republican will be
no change whatever. lie will be OPP
posed by such men as Neal 5. Brown.
Emerson Etheridgc, who is certain to
be elected to the State Senate, will also
be prominent candidate, but the Re-
publicans will hold the balance of pow
er. Edmund Cooper, who was al in
terim Secretary of the Treasury under
Johnson, will also be elected to the Sen
ate, but he will not support his former
patron. Mr.. johnson is very anxious
TO come back to Congress for very OBJ
vious reasons, but the opposition to him
will prove too strong. The Old Line
Wings and the Democrats can never
agree, and in the disseusoH between
them the Republicans will stand Il good
chance of being able to elect theirscan
didate. 1t may not be generally known
that Senter is the son of the Mr.. Senter
who was formerly member of Con
gfess from East Tennessee, an Old Line
Wing and violent opponent Of the
pro-slavery State Constitution of 1885
Senter himself is very popular, and was
one of the electors at large of the State
at the Chicago Convention, having vot.
ed there for Grant and Colfax. 1t is al.
so stated that previous to the nomina.
lion, Stokes was asked to withdraw
and was offered the Senatorship on that
Icondition, but that he declined, and
| thus was mainly instrumental in bring.
ing about the present disorganization
ltis charged against him that during
the present canvass he has declared
himself opposed to extending the suf
i'ragc in East Tennessee, willie i'll Tho
midland counties he avows himself il
favor of enfranchising all who ask fol
! it.. In regard to the future of the State
Mr.. Noah says that when the noise ant
confusion of the present election are a
an end, the Old Line Wings, who can
not 90 with the Democrats. will Of ne
cessity fall into the Republican ranks
and a liberal Republican Administra
ton can hold the entire State.

the Chinese Radical Dilemma.

The New York Herald is lashing the
Radicals for cuiMing the Negro, and
turning their back on the '"man and
a brother" from China: H. '.f .
2 "Thc Republican State Convention
of California in its platform Of rcsolu-
.tious emphatically opposes Chinese
suffrage in any form Like the radi-
calls of other States of the North they
magnanimously give the suffrage to the
ignorant and brutal negro-to The low
est race of mankind-becaus thcs have
scarcely any negroes among them but
it is quite another thing when the Chi
nesc are in question. How illogical
and Inconsistent are these republicans !
Every one acquainted with history. as
well aaevery Psychologist, knows that
the Chinese are u far superior and more
intellectual race than the negroes
They wore u civilized people when the
nations of Europe were barbarians, and
| in many things we may yet learn from
them. In some arts they are yet supe-
rior; in agriculture they have attained
high point of excellence, and in the So
cial or domestic virtues they will com
pare with the most civilized people, and
! they have maintained an organized gov
eminent and system of society from the
earliest times to the present day, while
fthe negroes have never emerged from
barbarism, except where some degree
of civilization has been forced upon
them by the white man. We tell these
California republicans they must be
logical in this matter. They cannot es.
cape from the consequences of theil
own acts and the acts of their party
If the suffrage is not to be held exclu.
sively by the white race of European
stock, and if the negroes are to be put
on an equality with our own intellectu.
al race, the Chinese cannot be excluded
If we are to try the experiment, of /;

which stands next to the Caucasian can
not be placed beneath the negro, the

six acres of the field were old worn out
soil covered with broomsedge, and Mr..
Wright considers 65 acres of the land
very fair. He has now harvested the
crop and informs us he has housed H.
600 bundles, averaging in weight 31la
pounds or 1900 pounds in round num-
bers. Multiply this. by 70 cents, the
value of oats per hundred III this mar
ket, and Mr. Wright made S3,l5O.0o on
oats, with an expense of less than
$4,000.
