Go,dSmIth Maids 2.I5

A horse trotting with running mate, -
is generally understood to mean that the
two horses are harnesSed together, and such
we believe is the only legitimate meaning OF
the technical phrase. In 1867, Ethan Allen

This is the name of a watermelon intro

flavor and abundance excels any other va
riety. Mr.. William Castleman, living nine
miles above the city on the Cumberland

leaving an average one at this Office, which
weighed forty-two pounds. He stated that
he had taken seven from one vine just like
it. The rind is thin, the meat crisp, and
the flavor good. 1t is the finest melon in

Harmony I'm the city Canvass,

To the Union and American:
In our county election just held, we have
an,example as to what harmony and har-

think we should take advantage of such
experience. On the last Saturday in Sep
TENDER we elect a Mayor, Aldermen and
Councilmen, and suggest that ward meet
ines be called in each ward on Wednes-
day. the ninth day or night in September,
to nominate one Alderman and two COun-
ciImen from each ward. At the same
time. let the nominees Of the different
wards for Councilman and Aldermen,
being three from each ward, be elected del
eeates to assemble two days afterwards to
nominate a candidate for Mayor.

THE Poor HOUSE FARM, with its six
teen paupers, two mules and farming
implements was put up on Monday last
at public auction, and knocked down
to our enterprising townsman, Mr.. ia
cob Miller, the Proprietor of the Able
vile Hotel, who was the lowest bidder
He stipulates to board the paupers al
1919 per month for the remainder Of
the fiscal year ending 1st November
next. The following gentlemen have
pledged their personal credit by written
obligation, that Mr.. Miller shall get
his pay: Gen. S. MCGOWAN, Messrs,
T. n. Tolbert, J. r. Tolbert, w. ID.
Mars, Jacob Miller, Hugh Wilson, w.
II. Taggart, w. P. Mcclellan. 1t is
properly debt to be paid by the Coun.
ty, and we suppose that in due time au.
tLority will be given by the County
Commissioners to raise the money. Mr.
Miller says that he will board the
paupers next year at $500 each if he
can get the farm and implements. His
enterprise is worthy of commendation
and we trust if he does not grow
rich, he will suffer no detriment
at least by assuming this public
burthen. Mr.. J. r. F. Wilson, who
lives in the vicinity will give the Poor
House Farm and the paupers personal
supervision.

The Currency Bill.

r.zfLS =
The Currency Bill'as reported by
tile Conference Committee of the
Senate and House takes away tho
monopoly feature of the national
banking system, and makes banking
free. It abolishes reserves on circu'
lation entirely, setting free the legal
tender notes now held in tho vaults
of banks on that account. 1t pro-
vides that each bank shall keep in
the United States Treasury q sum
equal to five per cent. of it's circula-
tion, to be held and used for the rc-
demption Of such circulation, which
sum, however, shall be counted as a
part of tho reserves still required to
be kept upon deposits by the banks.
The reserve on deposits is left precise.
|ly as it now stands under the laws,
less five per cent. which is required
to DO kept in tho Treasury of the
United States for the purpose stated.
The abolition Of the reserves on cir.
culation will set free and put into
circulation about S27,OOO,OOo now
kept locked up in the banks. The
fifth section provides that any na.
tional bank may reduce or withdraw
it's circulation by deposit of legal
tender notes in the Treasury in sums
of not less than 5000, and take up its
bonds on deposits with tho Treasurer
for tho security of such notes; but
the amount of bonds on deposit fol-
circulation shall not by this operation
be reduced below $4,000. By sec.
tion Z the entire amount of United
States notes outstanding shall not
exceed s3s2,OOO,OOO, which shall be
retired and reduced only in the man
ner provided in the bill.
Should the bill pass, it is supposed
that President GRAFT will veto it with
out fail, and the issue between ex-
pansion and contraction referred to
the popular verdict at the next elec.
tions. The Herald urges that Con-
gress treat tho currency as an ad'
journed question to await the pro-
gress of events and tho lessons of
the future. Any action now would
only be premature. '..
