change is very much scsrcer in the
country than it is in the city. The city
bank referred to sent to the ub treasury
and inquired how much silver could be
had. The reply was one Thousand dol
lars, when one hundred thousand collars
would be gladly taken to supply the ur-
gent demands Of customers."' A few
days ago the United States treasury gave
notice that they would psy out silver in
exchange for legsl-tenders. The ap-
plications were immense, and
could not be supplied. The New
York Bulletin stated on Monday: 1.-THE
bank officers say that the cry from the
interior is for more small change, and
they are unable to supply even fraction
Of their customers wants. Since the
beginning Of the redemption OF the
fractional currency the sub-treasury has
paid out some four million seven hum
dred thousand dollars worth OF subordi-
nate silver. Only about half million
dollars worth Of silver COIN Is
On hand The fact lie, smart as the
universal Yankee nation undertakes to
be, this whole matter of introducing
silver change has been a "bungling,
mussed up concern" There were plenty
of practical men who foresaw that silver
could not be introduced "thick end
first" with success, and they advised
that dimes should be Issued in advance
Of coins OF higher denominations. A
small amount Of metal would go great
way coined into ten cent pieces, and
those pieces would not have been hoard
ed; they are not convenient for the pur-
pose. After an interval the quarters
should have followed, and after snnth-
er interval the half dollars.
The small pieces having &C.
customed the people to the handling Of
silver, the disposition to hoard would
have been decreased. By this gradu-
ated plan of Issue, the time Of putting
out the larger pieces could have been
suited to the smount of silver on hand,
without inconvenience to any one.
With plenty of dimes and quarters, the
fifty-cenu notes would have suited, IS
well as ever, for year to come. The
delay and the laundering have amply
demonstrated one fact. however, which
is that the American psople like to
handle hard cash, and can dispense with
''chicken stuff" and "smsllpox cash"
without reluctance,

Newell (Qrpheus G.. Kerr is now in a
bad way, and unless there is q radical
change, he cannot live q month. Since
closing his delicious and popular $50
cial Studies" in the World, three years
ago, he has been on the working edito-
rial force OF the Graphic, editing the
weekly and contributing sketches and
humorous poems to the daily. He has
not been absent from his desk a day in
year, but for the past twenty. seven days
he has eaten nothing whatever. l mean
just this: 1t will be four weeks to-mor-
row since mouthful or crumb of food
passed his lips! During this time he has
lost thirty pounds of flesh, and now,
though five feet ten inches in height, he
weighs only one hundred and two
pounds. He has drank one cup Of cof-
fee every morning, and has taken q
small glass of milk punch every other
day, and this has been his entire nour-
ishment, unless his two daily cigars may
be supposed to have nutriciOus qualities.
His condition is getting to be problem
fer the doctors, especially when it is
added that he walks a mile and half
every day, on his way to the office ard
back, and drives out two or three times
a week with his fine horse. He is very
weak, but has no feeling OF faintness or
hunger, and is cheerful as the SUD,

IF ANYTHING were wanting to +,

IF anything were wanting to prove
the desperate straits to which the Re-
publican party has been brought by
its coIruptions, and the strength, power
and efficiency of the Democratic party
in the present campaign, the following
very un-Republican suggestions Of the
majority. Of the senate committee on
Mississippi elections would supply it:
First-Laws to be passed by congress
for the protection of the rights of citi-
zens in the respective States.
Second-States in anarchy, or where
in affairs are controlled by bodies of
armed men, should be denied representa-
ton in congress.
Third-The constitutional guarantee
of republican form of government to
every State will require the United
States, il these disorders increase, or
even continue, and all miIder measures
shall prove Intellectual, to remand the
State to a Territorial condition, and
through system OF public education
and kindred means of improvement,
change the ideas Of the inhabitants and
reconstruct the government upon a re-
publican basis.
When either Of the last two sugges.
tons are attempted to be enforced there
will no longer be need for the Republi-
can or Democratic parties. The reign
of the much dreaded one man party will
begin.

The Catholics and the Public Schools.

CINCINNATI, August I0.-The Catholic
Telegraph, of this morning, contains an
article from Archbishop Purcell, defin-
ing the attitude of the Catholic church
toward the public school system in the
United States. He declares that the
Catholic church has no disposition to in
terfere with the system. He further
says that, no doubt, Justice and equality
would entitle the Catholic people of this
country to exemption from taxation for
the support of other schools, or to share
of the public school funds in proportion
to the number of pupils in the public
schools, but even this claim the arch
bishop Is willing to waive.

The New York Herald, of Tuesday,
publishes 3 letter from Hon. A. II.
Stephens, of Georgia, in response to
ThurlOw Weed. The question at issue
between the distinguished gentlemen is
as to the truth of story told by Mr..
Weed to the founder of the New York
Herald in reference to General Taylor
and the compromise measure of his ad.
ninistration. Mr.. Weed contends that
Mr.. Stephens, Mr.. Toombs and other
leaders of the old Wing party sought to
compel Taylor to veto the bill admitting
the free State of California into the
Union. Mr.. Stephens denied this state
ment when Mr.. Weed first printed it.
But that gentleman was not satisfied
with the denial and asked for more evi.
dence. Mr.. Stephens gives him evil
dence enough in his last letter, which
embraces q letter from Mr.. Toombs con-
frming his story in all of it's details. The
letter of Mr.. Stephens is a model of good
taste and clear, concise statement, indi-
eating the returning good health of the
distinguished Georgian.

The Building Committee Of tho Board Of
County Commissioners hnvo decided to award
tho contract for masonry ana iron work on
tho new Court House to A1r. ?. ]: SEXTON at
IN advance OF $4,000 over the lowest ro-
Ss28, 1G3. Proposals were asked for tho
iron aud masonry work, and nlso jointly.
Tho lowest separate bids for masonry and
iron work amount, when united, to 900
less than tho amount Of sExToN's bid for tho
two branches Of work. The Committee,
however, decided TINT 1t was moro economl-
cal to have but one contractor, md therefore
decided in favor Of SEXTON Nevertheless,
the Committee l,ayo recommended that thero
bo paid to the contractor $18, 600 more thau
the work could layo boon obtained for from
others, and tho Committee hive no right
tins to expend tho public money. They
oiFer him bounty eqnal to 4 Per cent on tho
amount OF tho contract, or moro than
cqual to half tho interest on the money which
will havo to be borrowed to pay him. Thir-
teen thousand dollars may bo regarded by tho
Commissioners MS 4 smnll Bum when consid-
cred Us part OF tho resources Of Cook Coun-
ty, but this $13, 900 will aayo to be raised by
taxation, and Is an additional levy Of just that
sum to bo paid to Mr.. SEXTON IS premium.
The contract will be aotod upon today by
the Board of Commissioners, aud wo think
TINT that Board should make 1t condition
Of tho contract that tho prioo be reduced to
the sum of tho lower bids. Indeed, Mr..
SETON might we'll atford voluntarily to rc-
luco his contract prico $13.o00. 1t would
be loss Of TINT much money In one sonso,
but 1t wonla DO concession 10 public opin-
ion aud to public Justice, which would in tho
end prove more valuable to linn than tho
amount of money diabursetl
