Army officers say that the army is not
large enough for the protection Of the from
tiers, and at the same time act as comitatus to
the judicial officers of the south, and in en-

that of Louisiana.
The acknowledgement has directed
that no advance on payment be made to clerks
]
not rendered and for which compensation is
not fully due at the time Of payment. This

! Office has decided, as preliminary to the con-
sideration of the claim under the act Of June

Complaints are coming from various
sections of the west, and especially from
/ Pennsylvania, and New York, of the suspen-
! sion. or partial suspension, of mills and man
ufaetories for the want Of water to run. The
trouble is rapidly extending, with prospects OF
| it's becoming general unless rain soon falls.
| This is not only true of textile manufa, tories,
/ but Touring mills also, especially at the west,
which are shutting down to an extent that
! shippers say they find it difficult to obtain
I their needed supplies on this market, and that
they are largely compelled to hold OF for fear
Of putting mp prices without getting supply.
The treasurer of the United States
has issued a circular requesting the national
banks to make an additional deposit of five
| per cent. for the redemption Of their cireula-
( ton, with the instruction that United States
notes may be sent to the treasurer under the
| contract Of the treasury department with the
Adams express company, and under the same
regulations as are prescribed for the forward
/ ing of notes and currency of the United
| Ststes, for redemption. If any bank shall
/ prefer, it may forward the required amount by
/ its draft on New York, Boston or Philadelphia,
drawn 10 the order of the treasurer OF the
United States and payable in United States
notes. Acknowledgment viii be made to each
bank for its deposit when completed by re-
mittance to it of certificate in proper form.
| United States notes unfit for circulation vii
be accepted in payment Of the additional five
| per cent. deposit. AS rapidly ss notes OF
/ the banks making the additional deposit shall
/ be assorted, their amount viii be charged
against deposit and the banks notified. Com
/ pliance with this request is optional With the
/ national banks, but it is hoped that a prompt
and general response viii be made to it. 1t is
with great reluctance that this course has been
decided upon. But it now seems impossible
! to prevent any interruption in the redemption
OF national bank notes unless a further de-
posit of United States notes shall be made.
