THE Chicago Times calls attention to
the fact that the national bank-notes
outstanding amount to S319, 1882 309, and
that the bonds deposited to secure them
amount to only 1915, 735. 500. AS the
law requires that notes shall not be is
sued beyond ninety per cent. Of the
bonds deposited to secure them, the
amount of bonds necessary to secure
the reported circulation is $685., ,O94, 7SS.
1t follows, therefore, that the circuls-
ton is reported greater than it really is,
or that the amount of security bonds is
reported less, or that the bonds deposited
are $12, 359, ,2SS less than the law requires.
Here we have one Of the mysteries Ct
the treasury bookkeeping; and it is not
cleared up at all by the statement pub
lished by Comptroller Knox about the
middle Of last month, that the bank cir
cuiatiOn had been contracted nearly
SIC, ZOO, 600 under the act Of June, 1874,
which would bring the total bank circu-
lstiOn down to about 1888 100000. The
public would thank Mr.. Knox to state
the exact truth of the matter, if he
knows or can find out what it is.

NEW YORK, July S.-The Tribune OF
yesterday morning was premature at
least in the statement that Loeder and
Price had been indicted. The EUeninl

paid visit this morning to the grand
jury room and made deposition in de-
nial of the affidavits OF John J. Price
and Joseph Loeder. Mr.. Beecher was
before the grand jury yesterday, and the
testimony Of these two witnesses will, il
is presumed, prove sufficient to warrant
the finding OF indictments for perjury
against LOeder and Price.

Police Commissioners ImbrOgIiO at

CHICAGO, July S.-JUdge FsrweH, Of
the circuit court, gave his decision in the
Injunction case restraining the mayor
from enforcing the ordinance, recently
passed by the common council, abolish
ing the board of police commissioners.
The decision dissolves the injunction; /;
that is, pTonounces legal and valid the
ordinance sbolishing the board. The
board OF police commissioners will ap-
peal the case. The TiG1Hc uf to morrow
morning will publish al opinion on The
case, delivered 10y Judge Cation, eG-chIsf
justice Of the State supreme court. This
opinion Tefutes the points on which
Judge Farwell's decision is based, and
points out that the police commissioners
are county officers, and that the council
cannot kill them off; also, that the act Of
1872 did not contemplate repeal Of the
previous acts by which the several
boards were created, but simply provided
a law for cities which should govern
them, upon its adoption, in connection
with all previous laws and ordinances
not specifically repealed by the act Of
1872.

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS REPLY

OFFICE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
KINGS COUNTY, BROOKLYN, July Sth.
Francis D. Moulton, Esq:
DEAR SIR-The contents and char
acter OF the publication relating to the
Beecher-TiliOn controversy for the past
year, have been such that [ am inclined
to think that in case am called upon to
prosecute criminally every libel which
has been published in connection with
it, the more important administration of
criminal law will, of necessity, stand
over for the next half century. 1t is
among the misfOrtunes Of civil courts
that parties may therein indulge in all
manner of quarreIs and exploits natural
or artificial), at their will, but courts OF
criminal jurisdiction are moved only by
the people and for the people Of the
State. In this hot weather jail cases,
like those of LOeder and Price, have
preference, as it is regarded greater
hardship for parties not yet proven guilty
to sweat in Raymond street, than to
suffer from lbslOus publications. 1t
would afford me great pleasure to try
you for any Offense coming within the
severer duties of the summer months,
but it is out Of my power to indulge you
in what you seem to regard as a luxury
at the cost of neglect Of business en-
titled to preference. Later on L may
be able to accommodate you to your
entire satisfaction, and then you may
have reason to rejoice that the ordeal
had not taxed your energies and FORTH
tude during the heated term. Very re-
specfully, WINCHESTER BRITToN,
District ATTORNEY.

THE AMERICAN SHOOTIsTs.
Arrangements for the Match at wiua-
bIedOn for Ghs Lloyd Cup-An
ExcursiOa so the GIAnfs'
CauseWRy.

LONDON, July S.-The letter received
by Colonel GiIdersleeve in relation to
the shooting by the American team at
Wimbledon, was from Henry Parsons,
adjutant of the English eight. Parsons
says the council is not willing to admit
another team to shoot with our three
eights in the ElchO shield match, but
they propose a match to take place on
the seventeenth instant for Lloyd's cup
between the Americans and an eight
elected from the three British teams. At
the same time the council does not de-
spair of match between the fOur-eights,
which perhaps may be arranged for the
Monday following the shooting at VIM
bledon. In the meantime it is hoped
that the match proposed for the seven
teenth instant may be agreeable to the
Americans.
Mr.. Parsons, adjutsnt Of the English,
replying to the criticisms in the news
papers on his proposals for match be-
tween the American and mixed British
team, explains that the plan which he
proposed for the competition for LlOyd's
cup, was that sent to Colonel Glider
sleeve on June 25th, for match between
the English, Scottish and American
eights. That plan was approved by
Wharncliffa, Gildersleeve and the cap
tains Of all the teams concerned. After
terWard third parties persuaded the cOun-
Gil to veto the arrangement. He
has no hesitation in saying that the
English mixed team Of eight now pro-
posed will have no chance against the
Americans. He expects a shower of let
ters from well-knOwn shots, indOrsing
his opinion. The men will be unknown
TO each other aud armed with all sorts of
rifles. These circumstances will destroy
the possibility of concerted action.
When the Americans have thoroughly
beaten them every rifleman in England
will say, "After all it was no match"
Mr.. Parsons concludes, "I shall greatly
regret so lame and impOtent cOnclu-
sion, and protest against suggestions
made without reflection"
AN EXCURSION.
BELFAST, June S.-The American
rifiemen made an excursion to-day to
Giants Causeway. They were accom-
panied by the band OF the
Ninety-fourth regiment. Large
crowds of persons congregated at
the stations along the route, and at Port
Rush, the terminus Of the road, there
was an immense Concourse. On their
return the team attended the theater.
The house was crowded, and the visit
ing rifiemen were warmly greeted upon
their entry. American airs were played
by the orchestra and great enthusiasm
manifested by the audience.

charging him with adultery with Mrs
Elizabeth Tilton. During all this time
the prosecution have taken no steps for
trial on the indictment. / am advise

by notify you that l am ready at any
moment to meet any charge, and request
you to appoint the earliest practicable

quence of exposure involved by the trial
of my charge of adultery by procuring
a withdrawal or suppression of the in
dictment, hereby protest against such
an evasion Of public justice and outrage
upon private right. II Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher be innocent OF the charge
/ have put against him, I ought to be
punished for my offense; on the other
hand, if have not accused him falsely,
and he is guilty of the offense, society
and law owe me an scquittal and vim
