nual interest The entire saving of the annual IT,
ommends that action be taken before January next
for the payment of the 81 cocoon loans of 1858
The Secretary condemns The practice of paying in
terest on deposits, as tending TO accumulate cur
rency in the large cities where it is used LARGELY
rectly TO Increase the annually recurring strin-
gency in the money market and TO derange bust
n Sc generally.
The Secretary aIludes to the prevailing senti-
inent that more elasticity should be given 10 the
volume of the currency, and earnestly commends
TO the wisdom of Congress car eful consideration
of the subject and that in SUCH "ouiry the further
imitation Of irredeemabie paper Irrency should

opposes the issue of any part OF the same TO in

The Interior Department.

The Secretary of the Interior, In his animal
pert, regards the situation in the Indian service as
favorable, and as a vindication OF the propriety
and practicability of the humane policy which was
inaugurated at the beginning of President Grants
executive term, and which has governed the de-
partment in the transaction OF all business matters
pertaining 10 the conduct of Indian affairs. Salts
factory progress toward the accomplishment Of the
ready been made, fully jusiifying the hope that it
will eventually achieve the end in view.
The Secretary recommends that the system of
cash annuides be abolished, and that payments to
the Indians be hereafter made in goods and sup
plies.
bands of Pottawattomies and Kansas Indians be
invested in Government bonds and placed to the
es Of their civilization, to be used by the Commits
soner of Indian Affairs for that object both inter-
est and principal, at such times and in such man
ner as the President Of the United States may d.
rect. The Government should assist the Indians
DESTROYS of securing permanent homes, by dona-
tions of stock and farming implements. The first
step toward the permanent settlement of the In
dams In fixed homes Is the establishment and right
enforcement Of regulations to keep them all upon
their reservation.
The Secretary says the Sioux nation is almost
completely surrounded by tribes that are really
bitter and hostile to the Sioux If these friendly
tribes could be literally supplied with improved
firearms and ammunition the present supremacy
Of the Sioux might in few years be destroyed
with but little aid from the army.
The Secretary refers to the lawless condition Of
the Indian Territory, and says If the Ocmulgee
Constitution, with the proposed amendments. is
not adopted at the next meeting of the Indian
Council, and Congress shall not deem it advisable
to erect Territorial Government within the Ter
rtory, he trusts that the necessary legislation
may be obtained to at least provide for the or
ganization of court or courts therein under
the Jurisdiction far the appointment of judi
cial officers is concerned of the general Govern
ment.
The Secretary invites the attention of Congress
to a request from tho colony OF Mennonites resid-
land ah FHes stea fer badaa5iop of exist
them TO settle upon our pubic domain in COM
pact colony. The entire they will probably
require will be about 100 900 acres.

geological surveys, the census, and other subjects
coming within the range Of his department,

than the large brick building of s.
Meyer on Grand street. The carpen-
penters, plasterers. and painters having
finished their several jobs on the corner

and is opening out the large stock of
merchandise lately purchased by him
in New York and elsewhere. It will
require several days to arrange every
thing in order, and mako thestorc look
rs it ought to; but meanwhile, customers
will receive every attention their wants

Meyer, in the erection and completion
of his building extends also to his stock
of goods. He has endeavored to cover

Death Oflecv. Father dsergauss.

a few days ago, (on the 18th uIt.,)
Father Gergaud left Monroe, in vigo-
rous health and ut the meridian of life,
to minister to and aid the suffering
people of Shreveport. The mission was
one of extreme hazard and certain dam
ger, but was undertaken, and volunta-
rily, by Father Gergaud, in pursuance
to solemn convictions and an earnest
desire to be of service to tho afflicted.
Four days after Father Gergaud reached
the scene of his sclf-imposed and ardu-
Gus labors, he was seized with the fever
which has SO terribly scourgcd the
people OF Shreveport. DR.. Chopin, of
New Orleans, gave the Reverend Father
the benefit of his great skill and learn
ing, and it was hoped he would recover.
But the malady steadily increased, and
at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning the
faithful priest and servant of God passed
to tho Better Land, of whose beauties,
joys and holy peace he had SO often
fervently detained.

of % years. He followed the Right
Rev. Bishop Martin to this State in
1851, but was not sent to Monroe until
1856. He was yet unable to speak
