THE LOST PoLARIs.-The deserted camp
of the Polaris was found by Commander
Greer on the mainland abreast of Little.
ton Island about 8 p. m on the 18th Of
August, and the mutilated log book and
several incomplete journals we're obtained,
one of the latter extending 10 the 25th OF
May, but none threw any light upon the
Intended abandonment Of the ship. Books
aud mutilated instruments we're scattered
about the camp in the utmost disorder,
and bore every appearance OF having been
purposely destroyed. There were five Of
the natives in the camp, and from them ii
was learned that Budgiugton and his men
went south in two boats of canvas about
the middle of June, and that a month la.
ter the ship parted from her mooriRgs ii
a gale, drifted about two miles, and sank
in ten fathoms of water. An iceberg i,
now grounded over her. Great difficulty
was experienced in communicating with
the Esquimaux, because Jee, who acted
as interpreter, was not acquainted will
their dialect. Commander Greer lief
them at the camp, and after only fv,
hours stay set out again at 2 O'Clock il
the morning. 1t is strongly believed tina

i he article in the constitution Of the
Order of Patrons Of Husbandry which
prohibits the Changers from admitting
political issues into their proceedings is
creating great deal of dissatisfaction
among the farmers The convention of
Wisconsin, Changers held at Watertown,
last week, adopted an ingenious way of
getting around this difficulty. The con.
vention declared itself in full accord with
the movement of the farmers against mo-
nopoies, but repudiated the idea of using
tho machinery Of the order, for political
purposes. At the same time it exhorted
all the members to connect themselves in
dividually with farmers clubs and associ.
ations, where they could enter into poll
tics with all their might and main and the
Changers seem disposed to follow this adj
vice which applies TO other Western States
as to Wisconsin.

The bank organized and went to work on

of doors east OF its present commodlous
quarters. 1t then bought the ground where
ON it built the old brick bank building which
it has just left, after an occupancy OF forty
six years. The original bank continued
until 184l, when under a rev charter a
capital of S. 1000 was authorized, increased
10 1916 TO 500 900, at which sum 1t re-
manned until reorganized in 1856. La 1865
the bank assumed the shape and name OF the
Montpelier National Bank, and went to work
with a capital of $500 600.

JAN. 16.-In the Senate, Mr.. Sherman
reported a substitute bill for that of Mr.
Buckingham, providing for a return to specie
payments.
After consideration of the various schemes
proposed to secure specie payment, Mr.. Sher-
man said, i" A careful consideration of the
whole subject leads me to the conclusion that
the simplest and most expcdient measure is
to declare, by law, that. on and after the
first day OF January next, the United States
will redeem its notes either in coin or at the
option of the secretary of the treasury, with
its bonds, of convenient denominations,
bearing five per cent interest in coin. This
will be a redemption by the United States OF
its solemn pledge. made In March, 1868, that
It will, at the earliest practicable period
redeem it's notes 10 coin. 1t will provide,
also, Tor the possible, but not probable con
tiDgency that more notes will be presented
than it can conveniently pay In coin at one
lime In that event, the United States will
redeem it's notes in the character of bonds
now at par in gold in the money markets Of
the world. 1t is founded upon the plain
equity that, if we Gao not literally perform
our promise by payment in coin, we will at
least give to the public creditors who hold
notes of the United States, bond bearing a
commercial value equal to gold. If then
these notes are in excess of the wants of the
people for currency, they will be presented
for redemption and ought to be redeemed
If not, the bonds are appreciated to gold
standard, and this is specie payment The
notifications of the banking act can be post
poned to future time, when the practical
