A FINANCIAL CoNUNDRUM.--The
United States has in round numbers ten
millions Of laboring men, mechanics,
clerks, & who earn upon the average
ten dollars per week. To pay these
men weekly requires circulating
medium of the volume of one hundred
millions. With this sum they effect
their exchanges, purchase their sub
sistance, supplys, clothing, g., pay their
rents and other expenses. The funds
are Immediately expended, and travel
upon their rounds, effecting other ex-
changes between merchants, producers
consumers, bankers and manufacturers,
and return again next payday to repeat
the process. If wages are paid only
monthly larger volume is required,
but the Washington Republican asks
can any one demonstrate that the legiti'
mate business of the country demands
seven times as much currency as il
necessary to pay tie wages of labor.

THE new CITY ChAKlER.

We publish the official copy Of the neS
city charter this morning and regret 10 say
that it bears unmis:akable evidence of hav-
ing bsen tempered with since its passage.
In Article let these words have been ad-
ded, provided that this act shall not in any
way change or affect existing laws with refer
ence to the public schools
The original of Article 2 read as follows:
To levy and collect taxes in each year for
interest On outstanding school bonds of said
city; and for q sinking fund for the payment
Of the principal on such bonds, not exceed
ing four mills. To levy and collect school
tax for the expenditures general and special
Of The public schools of the city, not exceed
ing four mills, and for interest on all other
outstanding bonds of said city, not exceeding
seven mills, and three mills for general Pur-
poses, on the dollar, on all property within
the limits of the CITY, taxable according to
the laws of the State, upon the valuation
established blythe assessment roll Of the prop
er county which, when collected, shall be ap-
piled BY the City Treasurer to the payment
Of the interest due on the said bonds. except
ing the four mill levy for school fund.
The effect of these changes is to permit
he School Board to levy the tax for school
purposes greater than eight mills.
The agreement between the represe' Ia
tives from the city wss that no amendments
should be made without the consen, of all.
The official charter rs published is not the
one the delegation agreed upon.

the EX-COUNIr lxEAAURER.

II l. understood that the leading bonds
men of the defaulting County Treasurer, Geo.
8. Smith, will propose a settlement with the
County Commissioners at the next meeting
on q basis of S. or 60 cents on the dollar Of
the amount of the defalcation-SGO, 600.
The ex-Treasurer has turned over to Messrs
Gillett 4 Brace all his property to iDdemni-
~ them. The sureties also hold 5000 in
c.sh which they propose to e1pend for ct
torney hire to defend themselves against the
county suits il terms of settlement are no! Ar
ranged.
The whole thing is badly muddled, it be-
irg claimed that the sureties cannot be held
for any loss prior to July ls,, 81, inasmucb
- the county settled with the Treasurer At
that time. The sureties assert that Smith
was $2s 600 short when that settlement wac
made. Again il is asserted that the official
bond accepted by the Board bears no date.
We do cot recommend a compromise, but
II the legal advisers of the county have good
reason to believe that the suit will be pro-
loneed and the result doubtful, perhaps it
would be policy to settle on the terms pro-
posed by the bondsmen. If any action is
taken it will be necessary to proceed at

Resolutions have just been passed by the
Lesisl,tufes of Rhode Island and Iowa sub
uniting the woman suffrage question to q
vote of the people, and we are Of the opin-
ion that in both States the proposition will
be carried; the times are more auspicious Tor
II now than they have ever been before; the
Temperance agitation has enabled the suffrage
cause to take long stride forward. A SIM
liar resolution passed one branch of our
own Legislature and only failed in the other
because the members were convinced thst no

for the submission of the question, it would
