to lay a tax upon the list Of that year suili-

The whole amount of bonds outstanding,
radeomable in ISL, is S45O,5OO; of which
s37S 800 were issued prior to the passage by
Congress Of the legal tender act
Ii is held, by recent decision Of the su'
preme Court Of the United States, that the
provisions of the legal tender act are not re-
troactive, and that debts contracted prior to
t, passage are payable in coin.
Inc coupons on these bonds, due last june
and vet unpaid, amount to s2,2sO; Of which
81 g2D have been presented and demanded in

the year 1871, amounting to s999,1O6' u
made upon currency basis so that if pro
vision be made for payment in coin Of the
bonds alluded to, it will be necessary to ado

This is estimated at about 100000, assuming
the value Of gold to remain nearly as at pres

SIDNEY Z. MeRsR, Jr. & Co.
81 Park Row, New York

George Rowel & Co. of New York, the
well known and enterprising advertising
agents, have purchased the agency Of John
Hooper 4 Co., of the same city, an equally
we'll known and reliable firm, and by the uni
on OF the two i'll have by far the largest and
most forishing advertising establishment in
the country; and if it is IS well managed
in the future as in the past it cannot fail to
become still more gigantic and successful.
Messrs. Rowell Co., published the Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory, the most complete
volume of the kind ever issued in this or any
other country, and at their New York office
they keep on file more than five thousand pc
radicals, which are always open to the free
use of their patrons when in New York.
Both the retiring partners of the late firm of
j Hooper Co, are TO remain with Geo. P
Rowell 4 Co., for some months, until their
own business matters can be adjusted, after
which Mr.. Wayre contemplates going abroad
and Mr.. John Hooper, who has been elected
reasurer Of the Colwslls, Shaw and Willard
company of New York, will
give his attention to the introduction of the
mt tin-lined lead pipe, an article OF grea.
merit, extensively manufactured and sold by
that company .-SpIingfeld Republican,, Oct

DIR. j. II. MENDENHALL AT the
last convOcation OF the Grand
Chapter of Royol Arch Masons OF
Indiana, the following resolutions,
relative to the death Of DR.. Men,
deLhall. were unanimously adop-
ted:
1t Is eminently proper when a
great Masonic light has been ex
tinguished, when q familiar and
trusty footstep has been lost in
the impenetrable shadows, when
an eye that ever spoke the kindli-
est interest in our proceedings, has
been dimmed, and when q long
life OF arduous endeavor to advance,
and Of devotion to, the great prin
iples Of Masonry, has been crown
ed with a gentle and beautiful
death, that some memorial should
embalm his many virtues. This
has been appropriately done by
our n. E. Grand High Priest in
his obituary notice Of our loved
companion, and its truthfulness
has been attested by the deep in
serest and profound sympathy
evinced by this Grand Body.
Some Of US saw his remains in
tered according TO the rites of
our Order, in their last resting
place. but the light OF his great
example ehall still i.umine our
pathway; therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of
Companion Mendenhall, Masonry
has lost Jealous and indefatiga-
BILE workman, society an ornament
Of the brightest lustre, and his
family and friends sustain an ire
parable loss:
That while we bow with sub
mission to the will of the Grand
High Priest above, we are encour-
aged with the hope that our de-
ceased Companion has entered q
sanctuary holier than earth's and
this hope, inspired by his exem-
plary and consistent life, like
rainbow, spans the armament over
his grave.

wherein tho Mayo Chief-of-Po-

We have heard both sides Of tho

for il to investigate, and we there
