PASSAGE OF THE CURRENCY BILL.-At

number of them has been passed by Con-
gress and received the Presidents approx
al. This last "Currency Bill" enacts
that the volume of the legal tenders green
backs shall be $3.50, 600, 900, and be neither
increased or diminished by the Secretary
of the Treasury. This legalzes the $780,,
900, 900 of the "reserve " put in circula-
ton by Mr.. Secre tary Richardson, after
the panic, and which is now lying idle and
useless, mostly in the New York Banks.
All bank reserves to redeem circulation,
except five per cent, required to be main
tanned in the Treasury for the red emption
of all notes presented there for that pur-
pose, are released. This will release a
large amount of national bank notes here.
tofore withheld from circulation. The law
also provides for the redistribution of $685.
600, 900 of the national bank circulation,
taking it from those states having an e1-
cess of their quota New England, New
York, Pennsylvania and other of those
States and giving it to banks, organized,
or to be organized, in the south and west,
which is not likely to occur, there being
100000 of the unappropriated circula.
tion lying in the Treasury awaiting to be
taken up by those states. The only re-
deeming feature of the law is that it set
ties exactly the amount of greenback Cir
culation in the country, which is point
gained for the stability of trade. There
is no clause in the law making any pro-
vision for the resumption at either near
or remote period.

LETTER FROM THE WEST.

OMAHA, Nebraska, June 16, 1874.
DEAR WmG-Omaha has been favored
with another visit in the person of Mrs.
Vancott, who labored zealeusly and effec-
lively so long last Winter. In order that all
might enjoy the privilege of her eloquent
sermons and other interesting religious
exercises, the society purchased large
tabernacle tent, so-called, and erected it
near the NJ. E. Church, in the Parsonage
yard, and procured large number of chairs
and great number of other seats inside
as we'll as outside of the tent, under the
beautiful shade trees in the yard, all of
which were delightfully."- comfortable and
much enjoyed by the many thousands who
assembled daily and nightly to listen to her
most eloquent and earnest ministraton-
many who seldom entered a church of any
denomination, and we venture to say, few
went away without being more or less ben
Gifted by her earnest and faithful counsels,
and although the accommodations would
not seat one-half the people congregated,
they seemed to deem it a high privilege to
stand in breathless silence and hear the
words of counsel administered by one of
Gods faithful ambassadors. Although she
has not rested week since she was here
in January, and since has visited Califor-
MIA and Nevada, laboring at the most
prominent cities there, from there to Bos-
ton and then to Baltimore, Nd, and Wash
ington, D. c., from there to New Orleans
and thence to Minnesota and now at Omaha,
daily and nightly, with but little perceptible
change, except in her voice for singing,
which has become somewhat hoarse. Her
sermons are delivered clear and distinctly
and accompanied with much earnestness
and power. Her influence seems mostly to
have been among adults of ripper years,
running from twenty years to Sixty. Cen
tlemen and ladies of culture leading into
all professions of the higher walks of
society, as we'll as the strong minded me-
chanic, farmer and all other portions of the
community, which in Western city like
this, is diversified. Her ministratons are
like bread cast upon the waters which will
be gathered many years hence, when many
will rise up and call her blessed. She pro-
ceeds to Colorado and thence to the Pacific
coast, where her services were highly appre-
ciated while there during the past Winter.
She is succeeded here by band of earnest
christians, mostly of the opposite sex, who
from their opening exercises bid fair to do
much good in the community. They con-
tinue here ten days, after which they, with
the tabernacle, will remove to other parts of
the State and attend some camp meetings
during the Summer. An improved relg-
ious atmosphere seems to prevail in all the
churches and their surroundings. Weather
delightful with prospect of an abundant
harvest. Centennial sto ok dropping, while
Union Pacific is improving. Builders are
having genuine harvest this season with
the prospect Frightening.

ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGREss.-The first,
or long session of the XLIII Congress came
to an end on Tuesday last, at o'clock P.
NJ, the session being heightened two hours
at time so as to allow the work in hand
to be completed. The Civil Rights bill
went over by an arrangement which re-
quired two-thirds vote to take the bill from
the Speakers table. No important rights
will seriously suffer by the failure of the
bill. The greatest event of the closing ses-
sion was the nomination of Shepherd, the
Boss of the Washington Ring, by the
President, to head the Commission to gov
ern the District of Columbia. Shepherd
was almost unanimously rejected, the vote
being 36 to 6 against confirmation. The
other members were unanimously confirm

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, June "a, 1874.
My Dear Sir-As l expressed to you
verbally this morning, when you rendered
me your resignation of the Office of Post
master General, it is with the deepest re-
greet to me that you should have felt such
a course necessary. You are the last of
the original members of the Cabinet named
by me as l was entering upon my present
duties, and it makes me feel as if old asso-
Citations were being broken up that l had
hoped might be continued through my Off
cial life. In separating officially, have
but two hopes to express: first, that may
get successor who will be as faithful and
efficient in the performance of the duties
of the Office you resign; second, a personal
friend that l can have the same attachment
for. Your record has been satisfactory to
me, and l know it will SO prove to the
country at large. Yours very truly,
Z. S. GRANT.

WASHINGTON, June "a, 1874.
"!Sir-After more than five years of con-
tinuous service, l am constrained by pro-
