to have decided between the two last young

prize; but impartial lockers on, through the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 31.-A tele-
gram was received here tonight, from New
York, giving a report prevalent there to-
day that the Treasury had issued five ad
ditional millions of green6acks. 1t can be
stated with truth, and about which there
is no official conceslment, thst four or five
millions of the reserve of forty-four mil
lions, the issue of which the Treasury De-
partment considers is left to the discretion
of the Secretary, was made use of when the
Assistant Treasurer at New York was in
structed to buy bonds and sell gold, apart
from the usual monthly programme. This
was ON the It'll of October, more than
three weeks ago. Since that time no fur
ther amount of the reserve has been used,
nor is there the least probability that it will
again soon be drawn upon. The transac-
ton to which reference is made was to
meet an extraordinary contingency.
[Just SO; and that contingency was the
Pennsylvania election.-U & A..
The statement that the comptroller OF
currency has given an opinion in reference
to the issue by national banks of certificates

We learn that there was some pretty live
" betting Yesterday. The johnson men
tried to make little capital by the game of
brag, but they got picked up SO fast that it
made their heads swim, and By nightfall
they had ''dried up" Occasionally one of
them would say that he would still make
venture that Cheatham would not beat
Johnson, if a Cheatham nan would bet two
to enc. We hear that the following bets
were made: 500 that Cheatham beats
johnson thirty-fye hundred votes; $500 that
johnson does Lot beat Chea:ham nine
hundred votes in Davidson county. What
= fallingofi, where three thousand majority
was claimed for johnson before "the grand
demonstrations" $500 that johnson would
not beat Maynard three hundred in David
son; $500 that johnson would not beat
MAYNARD in tie State; $500 that johnson
would be the hiudmost man in the race;
$500 against 81, 200 that the Cheathsm man
would WIN all the foregoing bets; $1,000
against $500 that Chatham would beat
johnson, and $500 that Cheatham would
beat johnson four Thousand votes.

As with Mr.. Johnson so with the other
independent candidates. We mention
him but to Illustrate, They win ali re-
ceive the same f&te-inevitable defeat.
Then, Democrats, what is your duty?
What Is the duty Of every man who opposes
the practices and principles Of the Grant
administration, of all who favor State
rights as opposed to Federal Consolidation,
of all who favor political privileges and
civil liberty in opposition to military des-
potism, of all who believe in Mr.. Greeley's
doctrine of 'sPEAcE AND RECONCILIATION
and Gen. Cheatham's tere but emphatic
'f FoRGEr AND FoRGIYE?" In our opinion
the duty is to rally around the old stand
ard, close up the ranks, stand by the NOM
inees Of your party, and victory is again
ours. If the voice of Reorganization lure
you from this plain path Of duty, then de-
feat and disgrace is yours. CHOOSE YE.

NIAGARA.

{ EAbout $500 cubic miles of water-nearly
half the fresh water On the globe-are ii
the upper lakes, and 100000 cubic feet
of this plunge over Niagara Falls every
minute, all the water OF the lakes making
the circuit of the falls, the st. Lawrence,
the ocean, vapor, rain, aud lakes again, in
one hundred and tifty-two years. Through
the Illinois Canal about 5000 cubic feet OF
water are taken every minute from
Lake Michigan to the Illinois
river; through the Welland Canal
l4,OOO cubic feet flow every minute; from
Lake Erie into Lake Ontario and through
the Erie Canal, 10000 cubic feet pass eV-
cry minute from the same lake into the
Hudson. Thus, 81, 600 cubic feet OF water
which nature would give to Niagara are d.
verted every minute by artificial channels,
some into the Mexican Gulf and some mo
the bay of New Y oTk. Add this to 1o,OOO,
O00-it is drop in the bucket, and would
make no sppreciable difference in the cnar-
acter of the Falls or their rate of recession
Was there ever time when the Nj
agara was appreciably greSI-
er river then now? We assume,
then, from all the monuments the river has
left of its own history, that the present raIe
of recession would be a fair measure OF the
past, except at the Whirlpool and Ferry
Landing. Six inches q year, measured on
the channel, would place the falls at Lewis
ton $4,000 years ago. We have no means
of knowing how long the quartzose sand
stone, which forms the lowest part OF the
bank at the Whirlpool, would have ar
rested the cataract. This stratum is
J twenty-five feet thick, and, as It's
southwark dip is twenty feet a mile, the
Falls would have to cut back throagn .
this rock more than half mile. The nan
may have been many thousand years
Add another period for the halt at the Iatd-
ing, and the age of the channel from Lew
iston to the Horseshoe may not fall below
100000 years. Unquestionably the chah.
mel has been excayated since the close "
the glacial epoch, which science mas WEI eE
| nigh demonstrated occurred about 2OO,oOO
years ago. Bus this channel is only thS
