On Tuesday the House passed the
currency bill by vote of 128 to 1l6,
and soon after passed the Senate bill
legalizing the issue of the $4,000, 900,
and increasing the national bank cir
culation. Beck, Cox, Wood, Mes
NTH, Clymer and Marshall, the lead
ers of the Democratic party, all voted
against these measures, but the
Southern and some of the Western
members of the party went for infia-
ton in spite of the teachings of Tom
Benton and General Jackson, who
have ceased to be leaders.
After the Senate bill had passed
both houses, the opinion of Comp
troller Knox in relation to its proba-
BILE effect was asked, and he said 1t
would work contraction. AS it was
drawn for the opposite purpose and
deemed a fine thing in the interest OF
imitation, there was sudden collapse
of several fine financial regulations,
and claims for the honor of the in
yention do not come in very fast
since the Comptroller's opinion was
given.
Assistant Secretary Sawyer, at his
own request, went before the COM
mittee on Wednesday and fatty con-
tradicted the statements of Banfeld
in relation to the Sanborn contracts,
explained the course of business in
the Department, and made a showing
which leaves Banfeld in an awk-
ward predicament. After all the
insinuations and differences of the
lively correspondents of the New
York papers, no person has testified
to any fact or circumstance which
shows that Mr.. Sawyer had any in
terest, arrangement, understanding
or hope of profit in the business. He
assisted Kelsey, when Senator, by
advocating the bill, but as Kelsey got
nothing, and Sawyer as Assistant
Secretary gave him no special advan-
tages, the "coincidences" ale not
striking and go to show absence of
special interest.

The editor of the st. Charles
Herald must be suffering from the
dyspepsia or some similar complaint
which has soured his usually pleas
ant disposition. In his last issue he
speaks sneeringly of Hon. Geo. B.
Loud, pokes fun at Messrs. Burch and
Allan, and refers to Gov. Kellogg in
a contemptious manner. Hon. Frank
Morey also has a few sarcastic re-
marks leveled at him. 1t is now the
spring of the year and the Herald
man had better take q mild purga-
tive, which would, perhaps, improve
his temper. Tennyson's oft-quoted
lines,
In the spring young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love,
do not seem to apply to our youthful
cOnfrere.

LET ALL THE PEOPLE READ !-An-
a0uneeaseat Extraordinary 1t is a
well known fact that the great panic
in financial circles last winter, fol-
lowed by the poor sale of a very ordi-
nary cotton and sugar crop, have pro-
duced q great demand for ready cash
among the merchants generally and
especially those who furnished plant
ers with provisions and stores neces-
sary for carrying on their places. To
this latter class our largest merchant,
Mr.. MARX ISRAEL, has proven no ex.
ception, nor does he seek to conceal
the fact. On the contrary, he wishes
his friends and the public generally to
know that he is in urgent need of
CASH
to carry on his extensive business, to
obtain which he has marked his mag
niticent stock of goods down to the
lowest possible figures, Offering in
ducements to cash purchasers never
excelled for their liberality in the an
mails of Donaldsonville mercantile his
tory. This announcement is no ad.
vertising dodge, but plain, matter
of'faet business notice, and those who
visit Mr. Israel's large establishment
and price his goods will be assured of
the truth whereof we speak.

Educational Notice.

OFFICE STATE SUPT. OF PUBLIC EDUCATION.
New Orleans, March 10, 1874.
To Hon. Pierre Landry, President Ascension
School Board.
Dear Sir-You are respectfully informed
that owing to the fact that the December
Apportionment for 1873 was not made until
February, 1874, at which time all the funds
in the State treasury to the credit of the
Common School Fund was apportioned also
that there will not be any settlements with
tax collectors by which the funds of eighteen
hundred and seyeuty-four will be paid into
the treasury before May, therefore an ap-
portionment for March can not be made.
This will neeessitate careful inquiry as to
the expedieney of mourning obligations
which your Board may find it difficult to
meet. Not until September and December
can we hope to have sufficient funds in the
treasury to make apportionments ofany con-
siderable amount.
In view of these facts let me urge upon
Your Board the exercise of great caution in
the administration of its affairs, that your
work may be saved embarrassment and the
cause of Edueation injury.
While it is desirable to have as many
schools in operation as it is possible to main
tain with the revenue at command, it 10 an
wise and preiudicial to our interests to es-
tablish and maintain schools at the expense
of the teachers, which is the case whenever
their salaries are in arrears. CarefulneRa
on the part of the Board in mourning obi
cations and prompt payment of all indebted
ness, will secure the confidence of the COM
munity, the best grade of teachers for our
schools, and the greatest efficiency for eur
work. Respeetfully
WIN. G. BROWN,
State Supt. of Public Education.

WEES YOU go to the polls to-day bear
in mind that Charles Carroll, the Demo.
cratic candidate tor State Treasurer, is a
Southern Illinois man, honest capable,
and in all respects worthy OF your vote
and confidence. Remember, too, that tho
policy of the Radical psrty, in so far a,
1t relates to tho South, brushes the ener-
g,ss and impedes the prosperity OF the
very people upon whom Cairo largely de-
ponds for that commercial prosperity that
is to make her the grand entrepot OF the
Mississippi Valley. That injurious policy
finds an advocate in Isaac Clements, and
az enemy in William Har,zall. Vote
then, for Hsrtzell and Cairo.

j. ii. GossMAS is candidate for re-
election to the Office Of Coroner. II is an
office that is scarcely worth the seeking
but, notwithstanding the mcsger compen.
sation it affords, Mr.. c. has discharged
all tho duties it imposed promptly and
faithfully. We may say, indeed, that,
until he accepted the position the duties
were loosely performed-now, by the in.
cumbent OF the office, now by a justice of
the peace, and, sometimes not at all. We
have no assurance that, If Mr.. Hogan is
elected this old order Of things will no, be
restored, and we will have, in effect, no
Coroner at all. Vote, therefore, for
Gossmsn.
