Iowa, in his recent speech on the cur
rency, gave very interesting state
ment derived from the Treasury De
partment, as TO the deprecated paper
currencles of different countries at the
present time. Thus. it appears that
the discount in the Z nited States Is
quoted from 10 to II per cent in Aus
tria at 10 per cent. ; Greece, II per
cent. Italy, II per cent. Russia, 10
per cent. Cuba. A per cent. Hayti,
99s per cent. The Republic of Hayti
has 300, 900, 900 dollars of paper money.
The value in the market is $50 paper
dollars for one coin dollar. In San Do

20 per, cent. on the new paper money,

Was Livingstone insane is now the
question. A writer in the Graphic con-
cludes from Stanley's first reports Of his
conversations with him, and from the
letter of the doctor to his diseoverer, Just
published, that the mind OF the poor old
man was affected. If we once grant
this we can understand his letters, his
refusal to return home, his lack OF inteli-
gent method in exploration, and his loss
of interest in the gravest geographical
problems of the age. No other theory

Churchman and the Church Journal, in
their issues of the last two weeks, have
notices of Confirmation services, at
which 2,l92 PERSONS received the laying
on of hands. The same papers have
notices of a number of confirmation
services where the numbers confirmed
were not given. Among Others, Bishop
Potter, of New York, mentioned at a
confirmation service held at st. Pauls
chapel,j Trinity parish, on Thursday
evening, April I'd, that it was the thir-

held already in that week. The num-
beers confirmed were only given in one

In your issue of April Sd appears an
article signed West Side Voter" fiom
Addison County, interlarded with criti-
cisms OF Hon. Henry Lane Of the most
unfair character, with the manifest design
to injure his uhe,e he is not aceH knolcn.
The esteem with which Mr.. Lane is re-
garded where he is knovn is sufficiently
shown by his repeated elections to i'm
portant positions, every one Of which he
has filled with fidelity and integrity, and
with credit to himself, to the state. and to
his agricultural education, habits aud
tastes.
The only cause for the carping Of this
Addison County detractor is found in the
fact that the community where he lives
have not similarly trusted him, and it is
well known that the only public position
this critic ever held he was summarily
driven from in disgrace, because he had
prostitutsd his Office, given him by toe
confding public and used it for his OWL
private gain to the public injury. Hi

MARvELs IN TELEGRAPHY.-A new
telegraphic machine has been exhibited
at the Signal Bureau at Washington
which promises to effect remarkable
revolution in telegraphy, 1t is called a
mutiplex telegraph invented by Merritt
Galley and covered by several patents
both in Europe and America. The OBJ
ject Of this invention is to enable num-

1t has long been known to photographers
that telegraph wire is capable of trans
hitting scores Of electric pusations where
only one is now sent, for the reason that
the human organs cannot keep pace with
the flow Of electric discharges. The
"multiplex" instruments, however, are
fitted with apparatus in the nature Of

BaS- The Senatorial contest in Massa-
chusetts, drags its slow length along.
The first part of last week the friends
of Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Hoar made some
efforts to effect compromise, but with
out any definite result. There was
cool deal of scattering from these two
leading candidates., until Mr.. Dawes
on the 22d ballot received only 63 votes,
and Mr., Hoar on the 2sth received only
81 votes. The Dawes men claimed that
it would not be right for them to with
draw their candidate so long as he had
led on every ballot, and on Wednes-
day they again concentrated and car
rled their vote up to 90 on Mr.. Dawes,
or within five of the highest vote cast
for their candidate on the twelfth
ballot. The friends of Mr.. Hoar raj
lied Oh Thursday concentrated all their
own votes and by borrowing from some
other candidates ran their vote up to
IS on Mr.. Hoar, or more than he re-
ceived OH his highest previous vote on
the lst and % ballots. This extraordi-
nary effort was made to place Mr.. Hoar
in advance of Mr., Dawes for even one
ballot, but did not succeed in perform
ing that feat.
On Friday they succeeded in placing
Mr.. Hoar one vote in advance of Mr..
Dawes, or at 93. The next ballot re-
suited about the same, but on the SD
ballot there was general stampede to
Gov. Washburn and he was elected by
a majority of 50, thus proving that with
less ability than some of the more
prominent candidates, he possessed
more negative streagth. All of the sup
porters of Mr.. Hoar seem to have gone
over to Mr.. Washburn, but 90 of Mr.
Dawes friends stuck to him to the end
We fancy that this defeating the can.

An Arkansas Coup D'etat.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April

LITTLE MOCK, hfk., Aprll 10.
Joseph Brooks, who claims 10 have
been elected Governor in 1872, took the
oath Of Office about eleven O'Clock this
morning before Chief Justice Mcclure,
and within five minutes from that time
took forcible possession Of the Governors
oilite aud elected Gov Baxter by force.
About a year ago Brooks commenced a
suit in the Circuit Court of Pulaski
County for the Office of Governor and
about the same time the Attorney.G O. neral
comncdcod suit against Gov. Baxter by
quo warranto in the Supreme Court. The
latter court rendered decision that the
courts of the State had no power over
conteste election for the office of Gov
ernor and it was generally regarded that
the matter was settled so far as the courts
were concerned. The Legislature in
1873 opened the returns and declared
that Baxter was elected. Nothing more
was thought of the matter particularly
until few days ago when the attorneys
Of Governor Baxter desired that the case
in the Circuit Court be taken rlp on de.
murrer with the object of disposing Of the
same. An understanding was then had
that the demurrer should be submitted
and argued next week. On Monday,
during the absence of Judges English and
Compton, attorneys of Gov. Baxter,
Mr. Whipple attorney for Brooks) arose
and stated that it had been agreed be.
tween himself and the counsel OF Gov.
Baxter that the demurrer to the iurisdic-
ton Of the Court should he submitted.
This, although in the absence Of Gov.
Baxter's attorneys, was thought nothing
OF at the time Yesterday morning about
! ! o'clock, when there were but few in
the court room, and neither Of the Gov
ernor's counsel present, the Judge an
nounced his decision, over.ruling the
J demurrer, and none of Baxtcr's counsel
being present to answer, plead over OIL
move for an appeal, judgment of custer
was issued. and the writ placed in the
hands OF the sheriff, and in five minute.
from that time an armed band, headed
by Brooss, were in the Governors Office
demanding possession. The Governor

was .aken and guards placed at all the

The RESERVES OF THE SENATE BILL
Mr.. Knox, Comptroller Of the Currency,
says that the Senate bill will require such
an increase Of reserves as to materially
mitigate its imitation capacity. He says
that under the Senate bill country banks
will be required to keep in their vaults
an average of about S25 100000 of legal
tenders in excess of the amount under
the existing laws, and the redemption
cities will be required to keep from ST. -
100000 to S1S,000,000 more than at
present. In a letter to Gen. Garfield he
gives the figures Of the bank reserves in
legal tenders at five different dates in
1873, and also what they would have
been under the provisions Of the Senate
bill, showing that while the actual amount
was always in excess Of the requirements
Of law, it was much smaller in every in.
stance than it would have been under the
Senate bill, had that been in force at the
same time. The Comptroller, however,
does not estimate what the extent OF
practical imitation would be under the
Senate bill.
