There were two sides to the Hamburg
affair, and now that one side has been
held up to the country for a month. it is
to be hoped that the other side will be
shown. When sworn affidavits show
that the negroes fired first; that Merri-
wether was killed before a shot was
fired by the whites, and that the negroes
had publicly threatened to '.clean OUT
the whites from that section, it looks rs
if Senator Patterson would show the
part of wisdom by not insisting on any
further investigation. And perhaps
there is not any further need of Il very

The Boston Herald says Of the Navy Yard at
that point: ''The testimony presented from

that for years the navy yard here has been one
great confederation Of population, corruption
and fraud. where the laws Of the country have
been persistcntly violated and all national in
terest made subscrvient to the enrichment OF
Washington and local rings. Any ten of the

1t costs the government to-day $780,
coo more per annum to take care of the

Lincoln used to say he could never
understand Arkansas politics. 1t seems
the Arkansas radicals are in the same
predicament. A few days ago they nom-
mated old Joe Brooks for governor.
Four years ago, when Brooks was the
democratic candidate. they said nothing
was mean enough with which to COM
pare him. Old Joe is undoubtedly the
worst man in the state, and always has
been, and the democrats only supported
him to keep up the strife inside the rot
ten radical party, knowing a democrat
could not be elected. Brooks then said
all radicals were thieves and scoundrels,
and if he was made governor he would
fill the penitentiary so full of them til It
their arms and legs would stick out of
the windows. Old Joe is smart, but he
will never be elected governor OF Ar
kansas. We do not generally sympa-
thize with radical misfortunes, but we
| pity any one who has to vote for such a
| man.

THE PROGRESS OF CONTRACTION.

The Financial Chronicle Of the 9Th
brings down its statement of the curren-
cy changes since June 20, 1873, to the
end of last month. This whole period
is naturally divided into two unequal
periods, the former extending from the
passage of the act Of June 20, 1874, to
the passage Of the act of Jan. IA, 1875,
and the second extending from the latter
date to the end of June. The act of
June 20, 1874, provided that the national
banks might surrender their circu-
lstion and take up their bonds
provided none Of them should
reduce to the amount of their security
bonds on deposit below $4,000. From
the figures furnished to the Chronicte by
the comptroller Of the currency, it APP
pears that tie banks did not reduce their
circulation under the act during the first
period of seven months, but on the con
trary increased it. The amount Of notes
issued during this period was 81, 7S4 500,
and the amount redeemed and retired
was $2,767,232, so that there was net
increase of s., 967,26s, bringing the tota
bank note circulation up to 1851, SCI ,45O,
the highest point reached, and within
$2l3s, $50 of the limit previously fixed
by law.
But after the passage of the resump.
ton act Jan. ii, 1875, there came
change. From that time to the LIST inst.
the amount of notes redeemed and re-
tired was sSO,675,9l1, and the amount
surrendered was $56l7,74s, making a
total OF $S6,333,SS9 redeemed and
surrendered. During the same time the
amount issued was Sl5,431 ,0S5, SO that
there was q ne. reduction of $50, ,SO4
in the volume of notes, and the total out
standing was reduced to $3.50, S95, l46.
This reduction in the bank circulation,
however, does not represent the whole
amount Of contraction. The amount of
greenbscks on deposit in the treasury
on the LIST inst. for the redemption of
bank notes was $26,909,S32 greater
than it was on the 10th of June, 1874;
and MS these greenbacks cannot be re-
stored to circulation until an equal
amount Of bank notes are retired, they are
70 be set down as so much contraction.
In addition to this, 81, 227, 7l6 of green
backs have been retired under the re-
sumption act, being so per cent. of the
new national bank notes issued. The
total contraction since January IA, 1875
was, therefore, rs follows:
Decrease OF bank notes. y, 90, ;N
Greepbacks on deposit 10 retire
notes .n,s,o-
Decrease of greenbacks..... ......- l2,2s','lo
Total. .......... $50 O9s, S52
The average rate Of contraction has
been nearly SS,720,0 900 per month.
