formerly of Chicago, but for several
years past resident of this city, com.
missioner of the District of Columbia,
vice General j. II. Ketchum, resigned.
No other appointment was determined
upon. Most of the session was occupied
by discussion on the needed reforms in
the customs revenue service, and the

The Secretary of the Treasury has re.
ferred to committee consisting of
Treasurer Wymsn, Mr.. McPn erson,
chief of the bureau of engraving and
printing, and Comptroller Knox the
question as TO what estimated amount of
fractional currency had been destroyed,
and will, therefore, never be presented
for redemption, and upon their report
the Secretary will decide whether or not
the law limiting the outstanding frac-
tionsl currency and silver coin to fifty
millions will pormit an issue of addi-
tional silver to cover the currency de-
stroyed in circulation. 1t is desirable to
know if the law prescribing the limit of
fractional currency and silver to fifty
s illlons, is to be regarded as covering
the actual or nominal amount of both
outstanding.

some Of the newspapers outside of this
State talk of the debt of West Virginia.
There is no such thing as the debt Of
West Virginia, for the excellent reason
mat West Virginia is prohibited by q
Provision of her constitution from con-
H'c!lng debt. West Virgins can issue
20 bonds, and hence in the recent times
OilnHstion and extravaganza when States
AND municipalities were piling up debts
Sd Issuing their bonds with reckless
P'Odgslity, this State was anchored to a
course Of rigid economy by constitu'
10naI requirement. West Virginia has
10 debt and but light taxation.

P1ttSDurgn DlspAtcn, June D. ..a->
Persons disposed 20 borrow trouble
from the future are just now extensively
engaged in the discussion OF the situation
between iron manufacturers and pud
dlers, but there does not appear to be any
we'll grounded cause for apprehension of
evil. There is one thing certain, viz:
Neither side desire trouble, and the
mutual disposition to reason like men
will doubtless solve all compli
cations that may arise relative
to the renewal of contracts
that expire to, day. The boilers hold q
meeting to-day, but they do not iRtimate
what action they may take. 1t is be-
lieved that many of the contracts that
expire to-day will be renewed. Lewis,
Oliver & Phillips will sign rs they have
contracts to fill. Some firms, who have
a stock of muck bar on hand, may hold
off for Q time, and firms that have no
contracts to ill msy await the course OF
events, but 1t is believed that INST Of the
mills will keep on running as usual.
