taken the story up seriously. and shows its
absuruity by the very simple illustration

II will be seen that the Committee on
Banking and Currency this morning agreed
10 report in favor of printing two impressions
OF the national bank notes and greenbacks
outside Of the Treasury building. Congress,
in acting upon this matter, should require
that The bank note companies that print the

offered 10 do before the committee. The
danger a. well as the expense resulting from
banOying the notes about between Washing

OF getting them printed in the two cities is
illustrated by the late accident upon the rail-

III would really save a great deal OF time
and trouble ifthe correspondents of the New
York St0t, Tribune. and others Of that perSua-
sion, would be kind enough 10 designate the
ioIm Of government for the District that
would meet their approval. No matter what
pan i proposed by our citizens. these cor
respondents have an Of-hand way of
rCoh-poOhing il as scheme of 1.-The
Ring that is exceedingly cool and
refreshing at this tropical season. They
denOunce the proposition TO leave the
District government in the hands of the
Commissioners as plan of the ring to keep
their own tools in power; they oppose the
Sargent bill, which proposes elective officers
in place of the Commissioners, as a plot of
The ring to elect their own tools; and now
they profess to believe that the Morrill, bill
prepared by men of the standing and legal
repute of MesSrs. Morrill, and HOar,
(and which provides for appointed
ofiicers,) is yet another ingenious de-
vice of the ring TO perpetuate its power.
Now il so happens that a large proportion,
perhaps a majority, of the petitioners for the
Morrill, bill have been the opponents OF what
i called the District ring; and they all are
taxpayers and business men Of standing, who
feel the vital necessity that Congress shall
pass this bill, or some equivalent bill, before
ii adjOurns, to avert most disastrous finan-
Cial and business collapse.

about the time they left a party from

and hunting They separated one even
ing into two partie', one going some di..
lance from the other. In one Of these
parties was man whose fertile
brain il ever planning some mischief,

be a good Joke to attack the other party,
making them believe that they were q

still stood hi- ground and tried to reason

think that discretion va. the better part
