The CURRENCY.

1t seems that the decrease in the vol
umue OF currency from January ID,
1915. to the end OF May has been 81 :
a5l.Sl4. While this reduction has oeen
going on there has been i constant pie
mora OF money in all the principal mon
ey centers OF the country. Ii IS only Il
short time since we had the report that
the banks In some ot the principal West
ern cities would only allow country
banks - to ) per cent. interest on
deposits Tor the present summer season.
At the tirstview 1t might seem strange
that money should be SO abundant aud
cheap in all the great business centers OF
the country while the whole volumne oil
currency was being reduced as stated.
We think. however. the reason for this
is plain enough. There has now ior
nearly three years been Il manifest ten
dency in all its branches OF business IN
all parts OF the country To get back to
| the old scale of prices tor all commodl.
ties as they existed before the war; As i
consequence values have been steadily
shrinking in all the ramitications OF trade
throughout the entire country. As s
matter OF course, just in proportion y:
prices are reduced, taking tue whole isl
OF articles through AS embraced in tn,
general commercial transactions OF til,
country. just in the same proportion wi
the supply OF money needed tor carryin.
or these transactions be reduced.
And then besides this shrinkage il
values that has seen goiug on steadily
!, for the time named, there has been
large amount OF suspension III various
branches OF business in all parts of tn
country, aud the building ot railroad
] has almost ceased. We think thes
! reasons are altogether sufficient to &c
count for the money plethora referred t
in the face OF the fact that large re
duc,iou has been making IN the genera
currency supply .-Labor Union.

A REMARKABLE HORSE FAMILY.

Mr.. John w. Garrett, president OF the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, has on his
beautiful estate, .MonticeIlo,' in Balti-

their blooded stock, and Mr. Mcdonald
experienced great difficulty and expense
in getting '.Esnea" and one or two otis
ers out OF the country. ''Esnea" alone
is said to have cost her purchasers H.
900 in gold. Mr.. Mcdonald took her
to Paris. France, where the then En-
peror Napoleon visited her at her stables
and expressed great admiration OF her
fine points and qualities. Having been
raised in tents She was singularly gentle,
so much so that ladies and children could
caress her with entire safety. When i'm

THE MYSTERY OF CEN. hlNDMAN'S
DEATH.

Murder will out. To that we have
testimony OF the records, and the axiom
has been formulated by the greatest OF
American orators. Not only does the
body OF the victim, voiceless except
through gaping wounds, cry out for
Christian sculpture from the depth of
swamp or lonely cop.e where the muir
derer has vainly hoped to hide the wit
ness to his crime. but the wretch himself
hurrying from bloody act to bloodier and
still more cruel deeds, reaches such a
height OF reckless daring that the blind
est Justice cannot help but close around
him. Then the gallows comes. and then
with no hope for the future and = late
repentance for the past. he tells the
story OF his crimes. Mysteries OF blood
ut last are understood; mayhap the
memory OF an innocent man is cleared
OF stain. and one death is made to pay
the penalty OF many. In the newspaper

is radically wrong. Up and down they
go by thousands. The cities and towQs
are filled with them. The open country
is covered with them. They are in
creasing every day. They cannot help
it. They often commit deeds OF violence
from which at other ii mes they would re-
coil with horror. A western paper in
speaking on this question says:
The great army of tramps is still on
the increase, and is moving northward
like a swarm OF locusts, scourging the
country rs it goes. Over 200 stretched
themselves out in lumber-yards, sheds,
barns, and on the ground in and about
Jacksonville last night. Sixty-five were
arrested and locked in the city prison
tor petty otfenses, but having no money
were turned loose this morning, were
ordered to leave town in an hour, or
they would be formed into a chain-gang
and made to work on the streets. Many
OF them were offered work, but refused
it. Squads of from ten to fifty boarded
various trains leaving the city, dead
beating their way as tar as the conductors
would allow them. A; Chaplin, about
sixteen mics west of here, on the
Toledo, Wabash and Western railroad
some 200 gathered this afternoon and
boarded freight train. The conductor,
with shotgun, and the brakemen with
revolvers, fired volley into the caboosc
among them, when they fled pell-mell.
None were seriously injured. After the
train started the cowardly vagabonds re
turned the fire with revolvers, shooting
brakeman named Edward Mckeown,
OF Springfield, inhicting dangerous if
not fatal wound. After the train haC
lett, dispatches were received here fol
help, and the sheriff with posse of arm
ed men were dispatched at once. The
man who wounded the brakeman, Civ
ing his name as Stone, was arrested an(
remanGed to Jail in this city. but before
the sheriff and his gang reached Chaplin
about 16O of the tramps had taken com
plele possession OF train on the Rock

Mr.. Banning nominated MIR. Sayler, where

Messrs. Clymer and Blackburn waited upon

vidual members in all their privileges, and
maintaining all the rights Of the house with
which the constitution and laws clothe it,
having always in view the peace and pros
perity Of the country.
The remarks were received with prolonged
applause.
There was an expression of views concern
ing the political situation in Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida, and a general agree
ment that committees should be appointed to
visit these States to ascertain the facts at
tending the electoral votes. A resolution to
that effect will be introduced in the house

hGps Louisiana.

New YORK, December "A Washington
special states that in an interview to-day
President Grant said he did not apprehend
any difficulty over the settlement of the

Hayes IS undoubtedly entitled to the electoral
vote of South Carolina and Florida, and per-

he thinks there may be some doubt. on ac-
count Of the many complications surrounding
the action of the returning board, but the

verdict that will satisfy both parties through
