of that bureau, including twenty ladies:
"Want of an appropriation to pay for the nee
esssry clerical force, has forced upon the hon.
orable secretary of the interior the alternative
OF dsmissing, or granting leave of absence
without pay, to very large percentage of the
force of this Office, till such time as it may
please the Congress of the United States to
make sllch appropriation as will enable him
to again avail the government of your services.
The option Of saying whether you will accept
leave OF absence without pay or be discharged
is, unfortunately, the only one that can be
offered Those Of you who accept leave will
be required to state in letter to the Commits.

during such leave. 1t deeply gricvcs the hon

take the action imperatively demanded of us
under existing laws, but it can no longer be
avoided.

late frosts. The offerings of English wheat at
Mark Lane and provincial markets continue
scanty. Neither has there been much in.
ducement for farmers to thresh, as prices have
suffered decided relapse by reason of the
less agitated state Of political affairs. Foreign
wheat has also reached our shores in greater
quantity owing to the action OF America and

Coinage OF tho New silver Dollsr.
Acting under instructions of the secrc-
tary of the treasury, the director of mints has
been cngaSrd in making the necessary ar
rangements for running the mints to their
full capacity on the new silver dollar in con-
nection with which gold only will for some
time be coined. 1t is probable supply of
working dies will be ready the 10th of March
meantime silver bullion will pass through all
the process of putting it in shape for coming
into dollars, except that of stamping, and for
which particular operation the capacity of the
mints is in excess Of other operations, so that
in reality but little delay in coinage will be
occasioned by the dies not being ready. It is
thought by the middle of April the coinage of
the silver dollar will be at the rate of three
millions five hundred thousand dollars per
month. The supply of fractional silver coins
at the mint and different treasury Offices is
sufficient to meet any demand likely to arise
or several months to come. The mnts arc
all in excel]ont condition, with a skilled force
OF work-mcn, and everything in shape to meet
the large amount of coinage dcvolved upon
them by the new law.

Duncan denies having been guilty of
crime, and says his hands are clean as regards
any msappropriation of funds of the bank;
that he expected to pull through up to the
very time of closing the bank. He accounts
for failure by the decline in business since
the suspension of the banks of California and
the usurious rates of interest &c was COMPEL
ed to pay on loans to keep atloat. He denies
having raised certificates OF safe deposit stocks
and saddling that on Lawarne. He declines
to give any account of his adventures since
his disappearance, on the ground that it
might make trouble for friends who had as.
sisted him. He said he never intended to
leave the city and would not have concealed
himself except ut the solicitation of friends;
that the sole attempt made to escape was in
compliance with their desire, stimulated by
fear that he would be mobbcd by the Kearncy
crowd If captured. nad it not been for that
fear he would have given himself up long
ago. He believes, if given an opportunity, he
can save depositors much from the ruins OF
the bank, and will use every excrtion to that
end.

Privilege Taxes.

Unpleasant as the subject of tax pay
ing is, we deem it due to our readers 10
keep them posted in regard to duty
aud 10 the danger of delay. Many
persons neglect to take out a license,
and many also delay renewing their
license, IS required by law to do. Both
those omissions are highly penal. The
law fixes a fine Of 500 for each day
any one pursues a privilege mentioned
in the ssatute without fret obtaining a
license. The offense is also indictable,
and the grand jury charged by the
court to inquire and present all viola
tions of the statute. The Criminal
Court meets the first Monday of the
month of January, 1879, and the grand
Jury will be required to look into the
subject. The Clerk of the County Court
will be called on to lay his license
record before the jury and report all
that have 10 license, or who have
failed TO renew their license as re-
uuired in the Code. i will cave sew
eral dollars in costs and fines If oul
business men will look at their Il
censes and renew where they are our
and square themselves on the Clerk
books.
It is not pleasant TO pay taxes, bu
il is necessary to sustain government !;
The law requires it, it is our duty
and the sooner it is performed the bet
ter for all concerned. Ii is far les'
pleasant to pay the fines and costs IN
volved by not complying with tn
law.
