a, thS Occdube society
had heard the whisperings Of this foul slam
der, and. unless Boyd killed the man wbof
called HIM thief, his friends and acouaiutl
ance would cut him as coward aud d-p11-r
| tits? How blamable the whole affair?
And the surface of present society Is rotten
with this polluted principle. Men shoald
learn that time wears out SANDER, and that
rectitude Of conduct gives the lie to cow
srdice. There is true bravery in leaving
the slanderer to perish in his corruption.
We need new departure" TO correcy-
this evil Of society. for the sake Of widows
and orphans. - Galueston Bulletin.

Almost every day bankers brokers. aud
merchants, or their clerks, are being de-
ceiyed and defrauded out Of large sums, as
we'll as the general public. by having pu9
merous counterfeit bills passed in upon
them with genuine ones. The counterfets.
in some instances. are SO well executed that
detection is almost impossible, unless vesy
closely scrutinized.
In making inquiries il has been asce>,
tanned that counterfeit bills on the follow
fng banks are being circulated: On the
the Merchants National Bank ofthis 6ity
| $40 and $5 are easily disposed Of. The
engraving is admirably executed upon Arst-
class paper, and is looked upon as being q
/ very dangerous counterfeit. Ten-dollar
n biils Of the American National Bank,
/ Broadway, are freely circulated. Hey
are well executed, but can Be detected by
che. difference Of the shading Of the largo
letters. There are two sets Of countcrfeits
issued on the Ninth National Bank; they
are $40 and ~ bills.i are well executed.
and printed on good paper, and very likely
to deceive. On the National Bank Of tho
State Of New York there are also so and
81 counterfeits. They are well executed,
but the shading under the title Of Bank"
is. bad. These bills should be received
with great caution TO prevent impositiou.
. There are several counterfeit issues Of
United States Treasury notes. the most
, prominent being $40 bills of March 10.
1862. These are finely executed. the print
ing and engraving being above the ordiua-
ry class, but the shading in the background
} Of the yignette is coarse. A third fraudu-
lent plate for $40 United States Treasury
notes has Just come TO light, but IL docs
not come up to the second plate, but the
] imitation Is good. Many imperfections Of
the second plate have also been rectifcd in
the new plste. There are . number Of

! second issue. 30 we'll executed that the best
experts can hardly tell the difference be-
q tween the counterfeit and the genuine.
