Smallpox and Currency.

The Louisville Ledger makes strong
argument in favor of abolishing the
loathsome stuff called fractional curren-
cy. 1t attributes the rapid spreading of
the terrible pestilence of smallpox in a
great measure, to the use of these dirty
rags which are in the pockets and homes
of those who are the victims of smallpox,
and it absorbs the virus, and passes into
the hands of others, carrying with it in
fiction, disease and death.
The amount OF fractional currency in
circulation is between s40,000,000 and
s41 900, 900. The premium on the va
rious fractional coinage of silver is, say
three per cent, which, estimating the en-
tire amount of this currency ahoat at
$40, 000, 900, would cost the government
81 900, 900 to retire il, and give the
country, in its place, silver coins. In
view of the fact that the United States is
a great silver producing country, it has
always appeared preposterous that
the citizens should be compelled to
use the ioathsome stuff called fractional
currency, and since it has become more or
less impreguated with the smallpox vi
rus, the time has evidently arrived when
ir should be banished from the pockets,

GEN. Gro. B. HODGE misrepresented
the State and stultifed himself by casting
the electoral vote of Kentucky for Hen
bricks. He has lately written lengthy,
verbose and puerile letter to the Courier
journal. He essays in his epistle to
catch the trick of graceful but caustic
barter. 1t is very clumsey and it is very
sad. The C0uier-JouIaal, with an air
of depreciation, but with conscientious
contemptness turns the General over its
knee and administers merited spanking.
