SEVERE ACcIDENT.-One of the en-
ploycs at the blind factory, on the West
Side, met with terrible accident yestel-
day afternoon. He was operating at the
planning mill, which is about IA feet from
the wall. An aperture has been cut in
the wall for long boards to go through at
ter they have been planned. Surprising
he had a short board on, the man placed
himself at the end of it, and walked back
as the board moved, when suddenly he
came in contact with the wall, and dis
covered that the board was 16 feet long.
In the meantime the board kept pressing
harder until the machine stopped, and the
man was firmly wedged between the
board and the wall. He remained in
this position for some time, but finally
made one of the workmen hear his cries,
and he was extracted from his pcrilous
position. DR.. Hunt was summoned. and
we learn the man is doing well.

Greenback Error.

An enthusiastic Greenback man of oul
city, tells the writer of this article, that
one Of the injurious effects of the IRE
sumption Act" is already visible in our
community and county. He says that
the First National Bank of our city, has
reduced its circulation $45, 900, and claims
that, therefore the amount of currency
circulating in the county is less than it
was a short time ago.
The fact is us stated, but the conclusion
is entirely false and illusory. Remember
that the corporation named had on dcpos-
it with the Treasurer of the United States,
$50, 900 in bonds to secure the $45 900 of
their own notes. In order to retire the
desired amount of their circulation, they
deposited SAC, 900 in Legal Tender notes
at the Treasury. The $4,000 in bonds
are returned to the Bank, and by it,
thrown upon the market for SALE If the
bonds were sold at par, the bank would
receive $1,000 more money than it had
before; but the bonds command a pre-
MUM, and the bank gains for business
purposes, not only $1,000 Uhe excess of
the face value of the bonds over the $45,.
600 in circulating notes. but also the pre-
MUM Oh the bonds, which, if 10 per
cent, would be another $1,000.
This is not all The 2,250-kept at
Washington at all times, for redemption
of the amount retlred-is set at liberty
The Bank capital is still 100000. The
circulating medium is increased by the
transaction, as follows:
Difference between $45, 600 circulation and
$50 700 bonds. .......... ......$ 5000
Premium on $4,000 bonds as estimated
Redemntion Find released S'S
Gain of currency for our community :. ST., $50
Had the capital stock been reduced there
would have been reduction in the amount
of money in circulation here. AS it is,
the truth is simply this: $45 600 of the
circulating notes of the First National
Bank are exchanged for S57, $50 in legal
tender notes and bills of other National
Banks, making just that much more mon
ey available for the needs of the public.
This daylight scatters the shadows of
darkness. Truth destroys many bug
bear of ignorance, honest though he may
be that cntertains it.

TIE BOILED CROW EATERS nom-
ination of Gov. Tilden was spoken of to day
by leading Democrats as most astonish-
ngly successful piece of political engineer
ing. "The old man had his agents all
through our country" said Southern
Democrat. 81 came upon their tracks
everywhere, and they just captured our
people. He had DR.. Gwin, the old Duke
of Sonora, to help him, and did not fail
anywhere. He is certainly a great mana
ger" "Tilden was not really popular"
said another. "We would just as soon
have had Hendricks, and we would ever so
much rather have had Seymour, or Tom
Bayard, or Thurman. In fact, almost all
of us felt that we would prefer a man who
had seen more public service than Tilden,
but the old man worked his case up so
completely that when the time came there
was nobody but he that had a chance"
This is not very high kind of praise from
ones friends; but the conviction is general
and openly spoken of among the Democrats
here that Mr. Tidcn got the nomination,
not because he was wanted, but because he
had the most cunning and money Tie
