than probable that the Treasury Department
will shortly announce it's readiness to issue
small silver currency, in place of the present
fractional paper currency. Tho sentiment OF
Congress, it is said, comedies with that of the
Secretary of the Treasury, that this would be
proper step, in view of the present cheapness
Of silver as a commodity.

passed resolution unanimously not to make q

Department, it is stated, will not stop with the
impeachment of Belknap. Since 1874 it is said
not single important post-tradership has been
secured without the payment of large sums OF
money, and it is the determination of Mr.. ely
nlers Committee to trace this money to it's final
resting place. To accomplish this, every post
trader on the frontier has been or will be sum-
moned before the Committee and closely exam
med on the subject.
