A recent Washington dispatch says num-
Der of letters had been received from Quaker
and other friends of the Indian peace policy
throughout the country, asking clemency in
behalf of the Modoc Indians lately on trial for
the murder Of General Candy. Many of these
letters raise the question that the trial of the
offenders was illegal under the decision Of the
Supreme Court in the Milligan case that civil
courts being in existence, military tribunal
had no jurisdiction. Another question raised
Is that General Candy was killed while in &C.
ton as Peace Commissioner, and not as an
officer of the army in war. These questions
will come directly before the President for his
action.
A Washington special to the New York
Times OF the s1st says the Secretary of the

From microscopical examination of
the blood of 143 lunatics, by DR.. III. Suth-
erland, of London, it appears that the
blood in the insane generally contains an
excess OF the white corpuscles, and that
its red corpuscles frequently show no
tendency to arrange themselves in rou-
leaux. The coexistence of these two alb
normal characters in the blood indicates,
according to DR.. Sutherland, a very low
degree of vitality. In ten men suffering
from general paralysis, whose blood was
found to exhibit one or other or both of
these conditions, five died within three
months after their blood was examined.
"A new invention has been adopted

moisture. A long perforated tube, fixed
in short lengths which fit into each other,
is built into the body of the rick as it is
carried up, and surmounted by cowl
which turns with the wind and provides a
constant down current; an upward cur
rent is also arranged for in an inner tube,
which is solid, opens at the bottom, and
so completes the circulation. This inven-
ton is also adapted to granaries, and
ships in transit, but in these cases several
arms are provided, running out from the
central shaft at right angles, so as to
distribute the air through the body of the
grain.

The Rush for Silver Coin.

WASHINGTON, October 27. - The
Treasury, up to this afternoon, had not
paid out any silver currency and no order
had been received by the cashier to pay
silver over the counter of the cash-room.
The tellers were besieged during the day
for silver coin in exchange for green
backs.
Ex-President johnson had a consulta-
tion with the Comptroller of the Cur
rency to-day, with reference to the affairs
of the First National Bank, and ex-
Secretary McCulloch had a long con-
ference on the bank of Europe, as
compared with the system in this coun-
try.
The Secretary of the Treasury will is
sue an order to commence payments OF
silver at New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and other leading cities,
where there are Assistant Treasurers or
designated depositaries, tomorrow. In
no case will more than five dollars in
silver be paid to any one person, the bal
ance of the check being payable in green
backs.
Secretary Richardson hopes to keep
up the payment of silver, which will be
commenced tomorrow, expressing the
opinion that he will be able to do so un-
less run upon the Treasury be made
and silver taken out for the purpose of
being boarded. There is at present
about half a million dollars in silver
coin in possession of the Government
which it is thought will last some weeks
but the work of coming will still be
continued, though not more rapidly thar
heretofore. There is an abundance Of
silver bars in the country, and the ca
pacity of the mints is sufficient for the
coinage of about fifteen millions of dol
lars per annum in silver without inter
fering with other coinage. With the
exception of that in California, there il
but little coin in the country now no

prevent any rush for silver coin, tn,

Secretary Richardson's Views ON Coin
Payments.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-Secretary
Richardson stated to your correspondent
this evening that he would begin at
once to pay out silver in sums not ex-
ceeding five dollars, where requisitons
upon the Treasury call for fractions of
five dollars. Under no circumstance is sill
yer to be exchanged for greenbacks or
fractional currency, as is supposed by
many. No such purpose has been at
any time entertained by the Secretary
1t would, he says, be absurd to even
think seriously of such thing, IN view
of the fact that, in the first place, there
are only from two hundred and fifty to
three hundred thousand dollars worth
of silver coin now available, and, in the
second place, it would be impossible to
coin enough silver in less than five years
to meet the demand for silver coin if a
general full payment and exchange for
greenbacks and fractional currency were
attempted. Therefore it will be seen
that the much talked of resumption,
is to amount to very little.
Judge Richardson says, however, that
if the people will be reasonable and not
make rush for the little silver that the
Treasury may have to pay out, the ac-
tion of the Government will prove of ul-
innate assistance and value to the coun-
! try: but ifa rush is made for this coin

ed kilograms from numerous banks ask
ing him to let them have as high as ten
thousand dollars worth of silver coin,
bat those applicants had an idea that
the Treasury proposed exchanging sill
yer for greenbacks. The fact is, the
Secretary says, there has been no silver
coined this month, while there has been
about ten million dollars in gold coined
at the Philadelphia mint alone. The
demand for gold is very large. and al
