ing, says the Richmond Wing, Is the descrlp-
ton Of dangerous counterfeit $40 greenback,
lately put in circulation, and even taken at the

terfeit the shading is picked up, and becomes
coarser as it reaches the figures, forming light
streak or circular haze Another test is on the
figure 10 within the light circular. The genu-

But the surest test is under the left wing Of the
eagle The genuine has four distinct roecs OF
feathers under the wing, while in the counter
felt the rows Of feathers are underlined. One
issue of this counterfeit is of the new series, let

To the Union and American: nal
In late numbers OF the Nashville Jour
Of Medicine md Surgery, has appeared a
history of Ovariotomy in the State, written
up by DR.. W. I. Briggs.
The detail of cases has furnished some
facts interesting and instructive to The pro-
fession.
Twelve cases are mentioned, in which the
extirpation Of an ovarian tumor was effected
successfully seven times, and unsuccess-
fully FIVE times. Gs rl.
, DIR. B. operated five times, with three re.
coveries and two deaths.
Drs. E. Mcdowell, II, r. Storer, 7. L.
Maddin and DR.. Murfree, each operated
once, successfully.
DR.. II. Miller, DR.. Mccullough and a
surgeon from New York, name not known,
each operated once, unsuccessfully.
One important case has seen omitted
from the list, that of Mrs. N, of Edgeheld,
lady well known in this community, from
whom very large ovarian tumor, with Sc
rious adhesioDs, was most successfully re-
moved by DIR. S. Il, B5ckYith, Of Cincin-
natl, and DR.. j. P. Dake, Of this city, in
February Of last year, full account Of
which appeared soon after in the Eelv Eng
land Medical Gazette.
The addition of this case to the list less-
ems The percentage of mortality, making the
operation Of ovsriotonY less hazardous, ar
therefore less TO be Dreaded. VIC. ID.

FINANCIAL.
TIE financial aspect is considered very
favorable. Among our banks and people
everything is quiet, Deposits are made
freely with the banks, and every merchant
is anxious to sell goods and receive pay

The advices from New York are deemed
especially favoratls, there being an advance
of to points in the leading stocks, which
is the best indication we can have of ease
in money. The shipment of gold from
London to this country and the decline in
gold in New York are also considered favor
able. -.

banks are not disposed to buy. In selling
they charge PSF to 81 per thousand pre-

MURDER IN MONTGOMERY.

from tne ClarPsVllle Chronicle, Sept. 81.
An afrocious murder was committed a
short time since, near Jordsn's Spring, in
this county, by a negro preacher named
Richard Hayward. Our informant states
that it was supposed that Hay ward had
tired of his wife and taken up with q
mulatto girl from this place. He murdered
his wife and placed her in the garden,
stripped and pa tally covered. The flesh
had been eaten from her arms and head by
dogs, and hex skull was fractured by a
heavy blow. He was preparing to place
the remains in q ditch, but the negroes of
the neighborhood were watching him and
he left before he completed his work of
burial. Upon inquiries being made as to
the whereabouts of his wife, he stated that
she went to Kentucky, had died and was
buried. When he found that the true state
of things was about to come to light be left
and is still at large. 1t is to be hoped that
this Rev. rascal may be speedily brought
to justice.

RuMOR CON rRADICIEn.

A reporter visited Mr.. Albert Fink at bis
residence, last evening, to ascertain the
truth of the rumor that large number of
workmen had been discharged in conse-
quence of the state of finances in New
York. Mr.. Fink informed our reporter
that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company had been building large number
of new cars duri g The past season, as in
every year, and that these cars being fin
ished, there was no further need of q great
many of the wOrkmsn, and about seventy
of them had, therefore, thus far been dis
charged. The company has about eight
hundred workmen employed at present,
but the new cars being finished do not need
more than five hundred to keep up the re-
pairs and O. her necessary work in TIE shops.
The discharging of the hands has nothing
to do Whatever with the tightness of the
money market and the unsettled state of
monetary affairs, as it is usual 10 discharge
many hands at this season of the year.

tect Settlers Because it Costs too
Much.
LITTLE Rock, Sept. 26.-The United
States Marshal for the Western district of
Arkansas has announced that On the 1st of
October be will discharge sll his deputies who
have been employed heretofore to arrest
violaters of law against United States citi-
zers in the Indian country. This is done
owing to complaints in the Department OF
Justice of the great cost in the MarsbaFs
Office.
Commenting on this, the Fort Smith
Independent says Congress made the laws
and requires to organize the Indian coun-
try into territory. Therefore it is the
duty of the department to enforce the pres
ent laws aud keep down The desperadoes
and muIderers who infest the Indian coun.
try West. If Congress finds the enforcing
of the laws too expensive, it had better try
its hand on a regular organized government
over that country.
The Little Rock Gazette also says:
There is nothing certain. The General
Government must exercise renewed Vigi-
lence to keep down outlaws in the Iucian
country or provide territorial government
fort. The responsibility cannot be escaped,
and the withdrawal of the force of the Uni
ted States Marshal from the Territory only
gives license to the bad men of that country
orob, murder and plumber at will, for the
Indians lEws as administered are as bad as
no laws,

LOAN CERTIFICATES.

How They are Issued and what they
are
From New York Herald, Sept. q.


From New York Herald, Sept %
A reporter of the Herald called upon Mr..
+. ID. Tappan, President of the Gallatiu NJ
iioral bank, and cha 'rman of the Execu-
tive Committee of Tie Clearing House.
This gentleman had taken prominent
move in the proposition, approved by the
Dank presidents to issue the $10000,000 of
loan certificates, After the reporter asked
the question as to the prob ability OF the flu
ture, Dir. Tappan said: ssThis issue of loan
certificates is the only means that can see
90 relieve the market at present, and be-
sides, is g perfectly safe affair. Yhe banks
bring their securities to the Clearin., House
and we allow them seventy five per cent of
the face of their securities, whsteYer they
may be-so long IS they are good-in loan
certificates, guaranteed by the Clearing
House and bearing interest at the rate Of
seven per. cent. When this is done the
banks will have all the available medium of
exchange they want and the money tight
ness will have ceased" This was the
unanimous opinion of the meeting of the
presidents.
A Herald reporter saw Mr.. Morrison, the
President of the Manhattan Company, one
OF The strongest banks n the city, regarding
the present state of affairs. In answer to
question as to his views on the subjecto of the
financial arrangement he said: "The &C.
ton of the Clearing House to-day in su-
thorizing the issue Of 100000 oflean GER
tiflcates was wise one. You see, not only
Will 1t relieve every one of the banks,
as well as the brokers, but it will serve to
demonstrate the condition Of our banks.
Ths banks will come up with their securi-
ties, and the committee of the Clearing
| House viii decide as to their worth, exactly
as does the board of directors of a bank
when any one comes in for loan. If the
securities are not good, in the opinion ofthe
committee, they will be thrown out, and not
only that, but If we think the banks are
weak we shall throw them out. You see
we cannot put ourselves in difficulty
| to Oblige others. / have no doubt
that in this way there will be general i'm
proved feeling among all parties on and af-
ter Monday. If We find that 100000 is
not enough, then we shall issue $40, 900, 600
worth. But consider it q suIe means of
| making money easy. If this means should
| fail, then there would be trouble. But I
cannot anticipate that. Remember that we
| have tried this means before, in 1857, and
| 1t worked to charm. It was under pre-
| cisely the same circumstances as these, and
it was done suddenly to relieve a sudden
necessity. But everybody was glad, and
the certificates remained in circulation until
all the trouble was Over. Then they were
withdrawn. If this danger lasts long, the
certificates will remain; if not, then they
will be almost Immediately withdrawn.
Regarding the action of the Stock Exchange
| governors; am fully satisfied it was wise
one and saved the banks great trouble, as
vel. ss the brokers themselves. Had things
gone on as usual, there is no telling where
we should have pulled up. fEfE

MURFREESBORO.

The FAir-AnOther Destructive Fire.
To the Union and American:
MURFREEsBoBo, Sept. 27.-This is the
last day Of the fair here, and it seems that
hearts and heads are busy in the one effort
40 be there" E rly in the morning and
late at eventide the town is lively with gay
dashing horses, buggies, carriages, etc., all
moving to and from the fair ground. We
cannot say half as much, however, for the
attendance or exhibitions as we would like
TO do in behalf Of old Rutherford.
FINE STOCK
rings appear TO Rave been much deprecis-
ted, ard our farmers, many of them COM
planning that their own county does not re-
csive justice, would not enter their stock.
1t is the general ouinion that too many COM
plimentary premiu are awarded by the
clever, generous hearted judges outside of
our own county, and that premiums for
home industry are decidedly too trivial to
keep up the required interest to support the
fsi! and insure success.
"FLYING CLOUD"
owned by Charlie Mclean, took the pre-
MUM on Friday over White Chief, another
be utiful animal of this county that has
heretofore taken many prizes. Flying
Cloud, however, seems to be the pride OF
Rutherford, and will be taken to the Ma
con (Georgia) Fair, We understand.
THE FLORAL HALL
has been well filled with specimens of near
ly every article mentioned in the premium
list, besides many miscellaneous things on
exhibition.
OUR FRIENDS
abroad have not given the Tennessee Gen.
trail justice in emitting TO attend, particu-
larry many from the Rock City, whom we
an iciOsted seeing, knowing them TO be adj
mirers of the beautiful in art and nature.

will b We to take hold of our county fairs, to
max, them of interest, and the sooner the
better, as there is q waning interest at pres
eut in every feature Of these entertaining
institutions, which are highly commendabla
