tFrom the PGEkeEsburg TInell
We see in the Wheeling IHteligsaee'
Of the 18Th inst, extracts from the
Moupdsyille National leading the readers
Of that paper into the belief that Bro
Patrick, the editor Of the National had
been In our city during the West Va
Publishers Convention.
We did not see him, neither arc VIC in.
formed that he had been seen by any Of
our editorial brethren present at that
time. Mr. Patrick, surely had dream,
and placed ton record In his paper, but
that he did not visit our city, last week,
is an undeuiable tact.
LATER-We were informed by Bro
SConeld that Dir. PAtrick's name was re-
corded In the Swami House Register ;
but he did moi see him. 30, after all, he
WAS here, though he did not favor with
his presence the publishers convention
All PATRICK wanted was a ride on his
FREQ ticket. days entertainment at the
Swami House, and view from tho porch
Of the Hotel Of BlGnnerhassetts Island,
This satisfied him and he left.

H.. nnu currency Bill.

Nav York dispatch this morning
tntImates that the President will refuse
70 sivn the new currency bill Just passed
in The place Of the one he vetoed. The
bill e construed as q measure Of inastion.
1t fxes the limit Of greehback Issues at
$8se 100000. II removes the limit to the
issue Of national bank notes, thus estab-
fishing what Is termed "lrce banking"
without specie redemption. The banks
are not required TO hold any reserve
against their circulation, but must deposit
with the Treasurer Of the United States
On amount Of greenbackS equal to i've
per cent. Of their circulation for q re-
deuption fund, and the reserve against
deposits must, within ninety days, be held
only in the vaults of each bank. One
fourth part Of the coin received for inter-
terest on bonds deposited IS security for
circulation and government deposits
must be retained by tho banks. As fast
as new isSuel Of national bank notes are
made an amount Of greenbacks equal to %
per cent. ofsuch new issue shall be with.
drawn from circulation and cancelled, to
effect which bonds bearing interest at
the rate Of II per cent payable quarter
ly, and running ten years, shall be sold at
public sale after ten days notice. Alter
the 1st Of July, 1875 redemption Of Uni.
ted States notea shall be made In New
York in such bonds as abevs described,
or In coin, at the option Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury. The principal Of the
public debt shall not be Increased.
Its difficult to tell Just what the i'm
mediate practical effect Of this bill viii
be, ior II depends largely upon whether
there Is any considerable demand fol
more national bank circulation, Green
backs can not be retired and Cancelled 4
the national bank circulation iS not In
creased, andit will not be increased I'M
less there is profit in it, which, with bond
at thelr present high premium, is prob
lemALcsl, The abolition Of reserve OF
ctrculAilonis construed as measure 0
imitation, but tits countcrscted by the re
qaitement that the reserve on deposits
shall be kept at home.
