Tue FoUR-pER-C CENT. LoAN.-Wdshing-
ton, January 9.-Two representatives OF
foreign banking houses Zone from London
and one from FrankforD have arrived in
this country for the purpose of making
propositions to the Government to negotiate
abroad four-and-a-half per cent. loan,
should Congress authorize it, on the plan
submitted by Secretary Boutwell, in his an
nual report, and which will be considered
ut Al early day by the Senate Finance
Committee.
They state that if the interest is made
payable semi-annually in London, Paris,
and Frankfort, they will be able to effect
the sale Of ut least two hundred millions of
dollars of such loan. Pending the action
of Congress on this question the terms on
which tie foreign houses will undertake the
proposed loan will be submitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury. These are of
course based Oh commission, which, it is
said, will be much less than was paid for

CoSFIscATroN TEST CAsE.-An impor-
tant case has been appealed to the Supreme
Court, involving the legality Of certain con-
f6cations made under the act of 1862. This
case arises from the sale under m order oil
the District Court in 1863 Of the brick resi-
dence on Ninth street formerly occupied by
DR.. A. Y. P. Garnet, one of the leading
medical practitions in this city. The sale
is contested, partly on the ground Of irregu-
larity in the proceedings, also upon the
ground that party must, under the Con-
sttution, be convicted of treason by Jury
before his land and goods can be forfeited.
In this case the claimant was not 30 tried,
and he was afterwards regularly pardoned
BY the President. The cause will be mr.
gucd by the Hon. Benjamin R. Curtis and
Mr.. Caleb Cushing, and will probably come
on sometime this winter.-World telegram

DfprsIToRIFs.-The following is an ex-
tract from o. letter from the United States
Treasurer to q depository national bank !:
sThc Treasurer claims and will exercise
the right to cvcrdraw his account with q
depository national bank, by draft or other
wise, to such an extent as to bring the in
dcbtcdncss of the bank to the United States
within the limit of its securities whenever
it's aggregate Indebtedness to the Govern
ment and its officers shall exceed such
securities. 1t is evident that in no other
manner can the Government be protected
from the risk of loss. The risk is the same
whether the deposits stand to the credit of
the Treasurer or of disbursing officers, and
the Treasurer is in both cases equally bound
to protect the interest of the Government
b. bringing the Indebtedness Of the bank
to the United States within the limit OF Its

Teaching a Horse.

lfsuy Of our readers want to teach
d horse the common trick picking up
q handkerchief, let them proceed as
follows Spread on the sawdust q
white cloth, containing liberal sup
ply OF oats, lead the animal round the
ring, and lot him take some of the
oats. This IS lesson No. its object
being to fix in the horses mind q
connection between tho cloth and the
oats. The march around the circle
being once or twice repeated he stops
at the handkerchief as o matter of
course. By dint practice, say in
couple of weeks, he will learn to stop
as readily in trot, or a galop, as in
a walk. After q time the handker-
chief must be doubled over and tied
in knot the animal shakes it to
get at the grain, but not succeeding
lifts it from the ground, which is lust
the thing wanted. When the horse
has done this a few times, and finds
that although he can shake nothing
out he will receive q handful Of oats
as reward, he may be trusted TO
perform in public. The last step Of
all, the persuading the horse to car
ry the handkerchief to his owner. is
easily done. OF his own accord he
he will hold the cloth till it is taken
from his mouth, and there will be
little difficulty in coaxing him TO
walk few PAGES, when he knows
that he will get handful of oats or a
carrot for his obedience.-Once a
