General Spinner, Treasurer of tho United
States, wishes to inform tho public that
those who send out circulars Offering to fur
nish exact copies of United States notes,
and who enclose genuine ten or twenty
cents as specimens of the counterfcits in
which they deal, gain Il living not by in
frnging on the law of tho United States
against connterfeits, but either by cheating
their victims out of the whole amount sent
them, or by returning therefor small photo
graphs OF United States notes or something
similar, which cannot be passed as money.
AS the laws OF the United States take no
cognizance OF such offences, the Treasury
department cannot undertake to secure the
arrest and punishment of the offenders. but
must leave them to be taken care of by the
local laws and authorities. He makes this
statement, not for the information of the
dupes who would otherwise send their
money to the swindlers, but to protect him
self and other officers OF tho department
from the letters inflicted upon them
by well-meaning persons, who, having re-
celved copies of the circulars in question.
fancy they have unoarthed some gigantic
scheme of counterfeiting, and hasten 70 lay
their information before the departments.
Speaking of the efforts of the Tribune
and the Washington Chronicle to work up n
new case against Georgia, the New York
Times, after rebuking those papers, adds:
We suspect that Governor Bullock is not
wholly unconnected with the effort for SIAN
dering the State of which ho is the un-
worthy head He is devont worshippcr
of the loaves and fishes, which are fast slip
ping from his grasp. He wants the Go
vernment to go to his relief and has tried
to find excuses for its going. The defeat of
the fifteenth amendment was the work of
his tools, and was then paraded by him MS
good ground for Congressional interference.
Exposed and frustrated in that trick, he
now seeks to invest every violation of law
with political complexion, that danger to
loyal life" may influence the President

Election of Senators.

The Legislature will no doubt elect sena-
tors at its present session. but on what day
i uncertain. The law Of Congress fixes the
election on the second Tuesday after the or
ganzation of the Legislature. This gave rise
10 the question whether the day on which the
Legislature met should be considered the
1irst Tuesday or not. Ifitwas decided to be
the first Tuesday. then the Tuesday .tollo,c-
5a7 would he the second Tuesday; but If 1t
was settled that it was not the first Tuesday
then first Tuesday must he had before
there could be Il second, and that would
bring the session and the election to
Yesterday fortnight. This would eX-
tend the per diem, but very much
increase canyassing and agitation touching
the senators. As, however, the House OF
Delegates failed to organize Yesterday the
question is no longer III doubt. Our OPT
MON. after looking at the law, is that it can
he avoided only on one ground, and that i
that the present Legislature and its action
are exceptional. and not under the regular
laws, but in conformity with the recon
struction acts, which hardly designed that
The Legislature should be detained two
weeks to make elections which might he
made in one day, and which are all the lie.
liSlature has tc do save the action upon the
constitutional amendments, which may be
disposed of in a few minutes. There is
certainly great force III this view, and we
should be glad to see it adopted by the
LEGISLATURE.

Harmony-.-Everything for the Cause
There has been no development in the
legislative body which leads TO the fear that
there will be any serious division amongst
the members. Extremes may be suspicious
OF purposes; but little familiarity with
the work before them, 4 better understand
ing Of the motives of one another may, AND
no doubt will, establish a reciprocal and cor.
dial intention that will secure harmony in
the action of the body.
Our idea is that we are now descending 4
canon somewhat like that Of Colorado re.
cent? decended by Colonel POWELL, with
walls $500 feet high, shutting oil all escape
There may be some murmuring, some vain
efforts to climb the activities, some little
dcmnition capers; but down the gorge al
must 60.
There must be consistent and persistent
carrying out OF the plan Of reconstruction
upon which the present Governor and Lee
gislature were elected. 1t will not do to
depart from it in any particular. We should
not only adhere to it in sending representa-
tiyes to Washington, but we should adhere
to it in electing officers here. None save
those that will best commend our acts at
Washington, and most completely shut up
the mouths Of the iomentors Of discord,
should be chosen. What poor advantage
will any one gain by rejecting this class Of
men and electing those instead who are 4
shade more acceptable to feeling! And
what annoyance or what trouble might be
given to the community for this paltry gra-
titcationI Let as teara to consider the
0u6lic uelfare, and sink our personal pre-
fpreuces ami feelings into the deep, deep

The inimitahlc FALsTAFF of the Enquirer

and, remembering how everything 1t has

has succeeded, is now trying to force Gene
