ORTIZ, of Indiana, last week intro
duced the following financial bill:
The bill provides for the issue by
the United States of two thousand
million dollars of circulating notes
to be known as "the United States
gold bond notes." of various denom-
nations, which are to be held in the
Treasury as reserve and exchange
able at par for any outstanding bonds
Of the Uuited States at the pleasure
Of the holder. They shall circulate
as money and be used by the govern
ment as national bank currency now
is. That for the purpose of expedi-
ting the exchange repositories are to
be established in all leading cities of
the United States under proper safe
guards; that the interest accruing on
all bonds thus surrendered to the
government shall be retained by the
government and shall, with so per
cent. of the coin accumulated in the
Treasury, not needed for paying the
interest on the public debt constitute
a sinking fund, after reaches the
sum of four hundred million dollars,
for the redemption of the gold bonds
issued under this act. The bill fur
ther provides that any national bank
may surrender its bonds now on de-
posit in the Treasury and receive
gold bond notes to the which,
when added to the notes heretofore
received by such bank, will be equal
to the par value Of such bonds, and
such bank may at any time surrender
its notes and receive in exchange
gold bond notes under this act, and
when this is done such bank is re-
lieved from the redemption of its
notes or from holding any reserve, |
bat shall in all other respects excr-
else its rights and privileges upon |
the banking act. Any national bank |
failing for two years to surrender its
bonds now in deposit shall be re.
deem its currency in gold. Out
standing legal tender notes shall
redeemed at the same time the re-
lemption of gold bond notes is com
nenced under this act.

CLEVELAND Was visited on Friday
night last by the most destructive
confagration it has ever suffered
from. The fire broke out in the
fourth story of the Worthington
block, corner of Water and ST.
Clair streets, in a room occupied by
Koch, Goldsmith, Joseph & Co.,
but how, no one knows, as no fire
was used in the room, it being
heated by steam. The engines
were all on the ground, and made q
desperate effort to get a stream of
water on the fire, but could not un-
til the floor had burnt through and
let the fire down into the third
story. The fire also spread on
either side, destroying Worthing-
toms hardware establishment, and
Adams & GoodwiIle's clothing
store. The fremen labored assid-
uOusly, but were unable to control
the fire until the combustible mate
rial was about all destroyed. The
total loss will reach $5OO,OOO, on
which there is insurance amounting
to $478,OOO.

The Ohio Senate has tried its
hand in ecOnomizing. 1t amended
the Appropriation Bill so as to pre-
vent the members of the Constitu-
tional Assembly from receiving a
per diem during the holiday recess.
The attempt was a very illiberal
one, and we are pleased to see that
the House refused TO concur in it.
If the Senate will but insert a clause
refusing per diem to legislators and
members of the Con. Con. excepting
when they are attending to the
States business, it would be received
by the people with more favor, and
would doubtless facilitate the dispo-
tion of public business.

a Rungling Execution.

The revolving incidents which at
tended the late execution of
Mechella, in New Jersey, can hardly
be read without a thrill of horror.
The murderer puffed cigar until
the clergyman had done praying,
when the Sheriff drew it from be-
tween his lips and flung it away. The
signal having been given, the rope
cut, Mechella lifted the horrible cap
until one eye peeped out, and his
pitiOus "Don't hang me" was answered
by the spring of the body into the
air. Suddenly a murmur Of horror
arose, for the rope uncoiled like
and the wretched man fell
on the platform. The scene which
ensued battles description. The
Sheriff covered his face with his
hands and uttered a smothered 90
my Godw The militia broke ranks
and crowded to the scaffold. The
body was raised, the rope was tied
again, and then the life forfeited to
the law was at last allowed to pass
away.

The House Committee on Banking

The House committee on Banking
and Currency-have agreed upon the
framework of bill, the chief points
of which are as follows: First, to re-
peal the restriction on the total
amount of bank circulation, which is
equivalent to authorizing free bank
ing under the provisions of the
present law, modified In some respects
by subsequent clauses OF the pre-
bill; second, to repeal the require
ment that the banks shall keep on
hand q reserve of greenbacks to re-
deem their notes, and substitute a
provision that each bank shall depos-
it IN the Treasury greenbaeks to the
extent of five per cent. of its circu
lation as q fund for redeeming its
notes: third, that national banks
shall be prohibited from paying or
receiving intrest on deposits with or
from other national banks; fourth,
that country banks shall be allowed
to issue notes to the amount Of eighty
per cent. of their bonds, instead Of
ninety per cent. as hitherto permit
ted,
The New York Graphic states that
dollar is one hundred and twelve
and fiye-tenths grains of silver, or
twenty-five and eight tenths grains
of gold. That is not true. Neither
of these amounts of silver or gold
would be a legal tender on the part
of debtor to his creditor. A bush
ell of wheat, or two bushels of corn,
may just as properly be called dol
lar as the above quantity of either
silver or gold. Itis the Government
stamp which makes the dollar, not
the metallic substance upon which it
is impressed. The Government
stamp on greenback makes it one
dollar just as efeetually as 1t makes
a dollar when placed upon gold or
silver metal. We are surprised that
the Graphic should think that mere
metal is money, no matter how pre-
ciOus the metal may be. Upon that
principle diamonds would be the
best kind of money. But such is
not the case. 1t is singular that a
disposition there is to believe that
money is an Independent something
that it is not q representative of
Government credit. The coin of diff
ferent countries possesses distinct
value, and American gold coin may
be as much below the value of coin
made by some other Government, as
our baser currency is below the gold
standard. Pure gold has a marked
value, the same as other metal, but
coin is not always pure, nor is it GER
tain that the quantity stated by the
Graphic is used in the coinage Of
either the gold or silver dollar, and
yet the Government stamp makes il
a dollar.

WHILE there is an earnest dispo.
sition on the part Of many members
Of Congress to comply with the
wishes Of the people, and curtail ex-
penses as much as possible, there is
a large number who evidently think
they can secure the favors of their
costituents by favOring expenditures
for given purposes, and thereby Sc
cure their return to Congress. This
fact manifested itself on the intro
duction of the bill to economise pub
lie expenditures, by Gen. Garfield.
ALI appear ready to retrench, but
none are ready to retrench in their
own vicinity. Hence the bill; by a
vote of 157 to 76, was referred to
Committee on Public Buildings, all
Of whom are opposed to and deter
mined to kill it.

week, to the exclusion of nearly all
other matters. A proposition to
revise the salaries of Consuls was
introduced on the 28th. In the

How Articles Left in Railroad Cars
May be Found,

When travellers come out of Rail
road cars and leave an umbrella,
walking cain, pair of gloves, hat,
valice or other articles, thew very
seldom take measures to recover
them, more especially if they hap
pen to be some distance from the
car in which the articles were lost.
1t appears that it has generally been
conceded, by common consent, that
property left in a Railroad car, ON
nibus, street car, hack, or other vehi-
Gle Of travel by a traveller is lost for
ever, but in these days, when Rail
road corporations are straining every
nerve to accommodate the public in
order to merit the largest share of
travelling patronage, it is exceeding
ly difficult on some roads to lose an
article permanently if one only tries
to reclaim it.
