the exclusive use OF u green nulQ with
which to print the faces OF these notes,
which..the counterfeiters initiated to
a greater degree of perfection than
any other part of the note. One
specimen is blue, having probably
changed color after printing.
FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
When the Treasury Department
issued the first series of fractional
currency notes. the postage currency
was withdrawn. Then came into use
those hideous little notes, evolved
from the Treasury printing offices.
whose crowded fronts and variagated
backs provoked unmitigated dctesta-
tion. The ring OF gold upon the face
of this sort was mercy to the
debaser of currency, as it helped him
to hide his botches. Mr.. Gulager
has package of twenty-seven ifties
of this issue, all Of which were pre-
sented by MN who admitted, when
informed that they were counterfeits,
that he had felt some misgivings
about the genuineness but had COL
lee ed them in the course of business
win sufficient care. There were few
OF no limitations of the iwelty- fves
of this is ,; e, the fact being accounted
Tor, perhaps, by the difficulty of
initiating the purple ink which the
backs were printed.
The day Of small notes was follow
cd by that Ct enlarged and complicat-
ed ones. The brotze still found favor
at Washington, and the specimens Of
gliding done by the counterfeiters are
almost equal to the originals. Great
difficulty seems to have been ex-
perienced in successfully initiating
the paper. Yet still the bad money
flowed in, 10 be easly detected and
destroyed. With the fifties bearing
the mead oc Mr.. Spinner, of whom
there are six limitations, poor success
was met by the cOunterteiters. Some
of the worst specimens in the collec-
tiOn are twcnty-fives bearing pOr-
trait of Mr.. Fcssenden. whose fea-
lures are so cOarsely copied as to
make the counterfeit impracticable,
except with the very careless. The
lettering of this note was also very
poorly executed, while the la he
work upon the back would not bear
examin: ton.
Three remarkably fine limitations
of the ffiies bearing the portrait of
Linco n on the right end, are included
in the number, the greatest blemish
being the defective copying of the
face, which counterfeiters have not
the skill nor the patience to reproduce
faithfully from the original. The
more recent notes Of this denomina~
ton, ornamented with the portrait OF
Secretary Stanton, of which Mr..
Gulager has seven specimens, was SO
cleverIy produced as to pass without
suspicion through the hands of most
persons, BY this time. however, the
government had founl an obstacle
against which all the efforts of coun-
terfeiters have as yet, It is believed,
proved unvailing. The silk fibre
which appears on the imprinted sur
faces of the good currency can by
distinctly traced out, and in name
cases removed by the finger. In the
counterfcits, where all other features
are very successfully copied, the silk
lines appear to be printed, and can
not be detached. The newest fifties,
of which there are threee limitations.
which will deceive even those who
constantly handle money, are weak in
this respect.

White League Precepts.

The Baton Rouge .idroca,e is very small
sized paper. but it has room enough to
publish the two following extracts in the
same issue. The first is section eight Of the
platform Of the ''white peoples conven.
ton, which met in that town on the twenty.
fourth Of August:
That We extend to all Of our race in every
cline the right hand Of fellowship and a
cordial invitation to come and settle among
Us, and unite their destnies with ours.
The other is a resolution adopted by the
Baton Rouge White League No. on the
fifth of September. They read well together.
and convey their own moral:
That all the members of this organization
compose committee, with the secretary as
its chairman. and that it be the duty of
every member of said committee to re port
to the chairman the names of all white
men who. through Indifference to the future
welfare Of the white race of Louisiana, have
failed to register; and that list of those
names be kept for publication after the
election together with the names of all
white men who voted the Radical ticket.

Quarantine Orders.
General orders from the War Department,

officers commanding forts and posts upon

respecting quarantine and health laws. ap-
the commanding officers will furnish assist
ance to any collector, or other proper officer
of revenue. whenever he shall be specially
authorized by the Secretary Of the Treasury
to apply tor it.
The Cotton Crops.
The September cotton returns Of the De-
partment of Agriculture show very heavy
decline in the prospects of the cotton crop
in all States except Virginia. There it
about holds its own. The cotton crop of
Virginia is too email. however, to exercise
any influence on the general result. The
State averages are as follows: Virginia 90,
NOIUu NhAOAiA0 ~ OOOlu CaEuilud CC, 0CuA'
gia Il, Florida II. Alabama 81, Mississippi
Is, Louisiana 81, Texas 81, Arkansas II,
Tennessee As.
The leading cause of this decline is the
prevalence over large sections Of a severe
drouth, accompanied by intense heat. In
many localities hot winds have parched the
crop; in one or two cases destroyed it with
in half an hour. Several counties report no
rain for four or five months.
In many cases the tops Of the crops are
entirely destroyed, the bolls having all
fallen. The middle crops are also badly in
jured in few localities. General rains
have made fine crops, but the number Of
these favored spots is very small.
In the Atlantic cotton States cool nights
and heavy rains are alleged in some coun.
ties as the cause of decline. The drouth
has prevented the increase of insects. They
are reported in very few counties, and have
been nowhere very injurious. :.
