THE NEW Worry TRIBUNE's
OPINoIN OF THE GRAND Army
The New York Tribune has the
courage, Radical though it is, to
tell the truth about that tremen-
dous Radical organization, the
Grand Army of the Republic, con-
sisting, as it claims, ofthree or four
hundred thousand, men. The Tri-
bune says: I'VE. denounce this
secret association as inimical to the
constitution and the Union. The
country wants peace, and rest, and
harmony and justice. These men
want a distracted country, that
Offices may be- gaiend."

lie graduated with honor in 1854. Adop-
ting the law as his profession, he practiced
awhile at 0swego, Ifoga county, Mean
while, he took some interest and part in
politics, earnestly espousing the Democrat
ic faith, lie WAS frequently sent as dele

Not content with country practice, Mr..
: Walker removed to Chicago, hung out his
single, aud soon acquired large and
lucrative business in his profession.
In 1865 just rs the war was closing, Mr..
Walker took up his abode in Norfolk, Va,

fed with the commercial interests Of his
adopted city He was elected President
Of the Exchange National Bank, n position

THE NEw ISSUE OF FRAcriosAr. CURsEN-
cY.--The printing division of the Treasury
Department has commenced the issue oil
the new fractional currency. The printing
is done in New York-the face by the
American Bank Note Company, and the
back by tho National Bank Note Company
on the same paper used for printing the
United States and national bauk notes.
This paper the mode of manufacturing
which has already been described, is su-
periOr IN quality to that Used for the cur
rency now in use. Instead of the flaslly
brOnzing heretofore used on the face Of the
fractional currency, which was easily coun-
forfeited, an engraved seal, printed in red,
has been substituted. This is the finishing
touch to the notes, and is dono ut the
.prining division Of the Treasury Depart
ment under the management Of its efficient
chief, George II McCartee. The ten. gent
note instead of being ornamented on the
face, as now, by the head of Washington,
has the bust OF q woman, supposed, to be
the Goddess of1iberty. The fifteen cent
notes will have ON their face the figure on
the dome of the Capitol. Fessenden' s
head will be taken off the twenty-five cent
notes and that of Washington substituted.
General Spinner's handsome bust will be
taken off the fifty cent notes and ebe re-
placed by that o the late President Lincoln.
All the issues will be out and ready Tor
