Have Been Deliberately Shot by a
Member of Col. X. B. Hayes Regi-
ment.
The Washington Sunday Herald
prints to-day the following account of
the death Of Maj Gen. Reno, which it
vOuches for as coming from a trust
worthy source: r~ u..
The night before the memorable
battle OF South Mountain the twenty
third Ohio volunteers, Col. R. B. Hayes.
were encamped in a field in which
there we're number of wheat stacks.
The men were tired, and utilized the
wheat in making their beds, to the
destruction necessarily, of the wheat.
Gen. Reno, passing that way in his
rounds, discovered what they had done,
and upbraided them in no measured
terms for their conduct in destroying
private property, using language that
it would be idle to repeat; and twas
while he was thus engaged that a
colonel, who is now president OF the
United States. came up, attracted by
the loud tones, and, announcing him
self as the colonel of the regiment, de-
manded what was the meaning of the
language used. Gen. Reno, in terms
more forcible than polite, - him and
his regiment, and declared he
held him responsible for the conduct Of
his men. The next day, when the line
was advancing on the enemy, Gen.
Reno passed through the twenty-third
Ohio, on his way to the front. Only
light skrimishing was going on at the
time. The general had just left the
flank of the regiment, when one of the
men of the twenty-third Ohio fired and
killed him. At the time he was shot he
was at least three-quarters of mile
from tho enemy's line. Col. Skies who
was at the battle of South Mountain as
captain in the twenty-third Ohio volun-
teers, was afterward major of the eighty
eighth Ohio, and at present is trading at
Fort Clark, Texas, tells the above re-
markable story, which comes from an
officer of the army to whom Skies re-
lated it some time ago"

ment currency cannot be foretold. 1t
is not probable that additional legal
tender notes can be constantly issued.
If the treasury notes shall be substi-
tuted for the present national bank
notes, it is doubtful if they can be made
legal tender In payment Of all debts,
Two kinds of treasury notes will then
be IN circulation, one of which will be a
full legal tender, and the other, notes
between national banks, as is now the
case with their own notes. The full le-
gal tender notes will be Of greater value
than those of the other class, unless
both are redeemable in gold at COM
mercial centres. 1t is believed by the
comptroller that this proposed substitu-
ton is i'm practicable, and that the re-
peal of national bank accounts will re-
suit not in an additional issue of treas
ury notes but in the restoration of state
systems similar to those which were
previously in operation.
In regard to resumption, the comp
troller says congress has fixed day for
the restoration Of specie standard, and
the legislation needed is that which will
not overthrow but cooperate with the
present well managed monetary insti-
tutlons of the country, in accomplishing
this result. When this is done the pres
ent banking system, if then thought
desirable, may be modified without
danger to creditor or business, and the
comm erclal interests of this great ma
ton.
Then follows a table showing that
the amount of reserve held on the LIST
of October last was greater than that
required by law. .
The treasury department owns one

which is equal to more than 40 per
cent. of the issues Of legal tender notes,
and is available for their redemption,
while banks hold nearly one-third Of
the legal tender notes. If the banks Of
the country cooperate with the treas
ury it is impossible that resumption
should fail; but even if cooperation
should not be univeral, it could not ef-
feet the ultimate result, for if any con-
siderable portion Of legal tender notes
be exchanged for coin at the
treasury, and withdrawn from
the United States, the notes will become
scarce and can be forced into circula-
ton to suppl the requirements Of
business and fill the gap. The coin
will soon, therefore, be returned to the
treasury IN payment of customs, duties,
and internal revenue taxes, and offered
in exchange for greenbacks and coin
certificates, which will be more general
ly accepted, the same as the notes of
the bank Of England and bank of
France are preferred to coin.

After Seven Years. Communication, Man

Case Of Jermiah Collins, the Rag
Picking Wife Murderer.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Special.
Jermiah Collins was rag-picker in
the streets of st. Louis, and because his
wife stole his money and refused to
cook his victuals he killed her, and
leaving her body where it fell, went to
his sisters house, fell asleep, to be
awakened for arrest. He admittedthe
crime, alleged the reason, said he had
tried on previous occasion to commit
suicide on account of family troubles,
and wanted to be hung. He was tried,
convicted and sentenced to be hung on
the 10th of May, 1872. His attorney,
out of the charity of his heart, believed
Collins crazy, and frankly wrote to the
governor that Collins foamed at the
mouth, tore his hair and refused to be
a party to an application for stay Of
execution Or communication, but never
theless he made it for him and
solicited commission of inquiry.
A reprieve postponed his execu-
ton to July 10Th: another to
September 9th; another to the 10Th.
The commission in the meantime met,
looked into the case and unanimously
pronounced a verdict of sanity. Yet it
was such singular phenomenon, that
a man actually desired craved. in
fact-the execution of the sentence of
the law, that the governor, concluding
that time might set all these things
right, commuted the sentence to i'm

however brought no pleasure nor de-
sires of life to poor Jerry, and he takes
the following method to get himself

The comptroller of currency sub
mitted his annual report on the Goth
inst. From this report it appears
that the total number of banks
and private bankers in the country at
6,45S, with an aggregate capital Of
$675,776, 900, and an aggregate Of de-
posts Of $1,S19,954,OOO During the
past year twenty-eight banks have been
organized, with an authorized capital of
$2,775, 900, to which 81, sos, 800 in circu-
lating notes have been issued. Fifteen
banks failed within this period, having
an aggregate capital of $2,712, 800; and
Al banks with total capital of $780,
600, voluntarily discontinued.
Total am cunt of U. S. taxes collected
from the commenceme nt Of the system
to the present time is as follows:

Of U. S. bonds held by national
banks, on Nov. 1, 1868, and deposited
with the treasurer as security for their

bore interest at the rate Of per cent.
The amount of, this class of bonds has
since been gradually reduced until it is
now less than ..one-fourth of all the
bonds held, while nearly one~fourth of
the whole amount bears interest Of A.

entire issue Of the latter class Of bonds
is now held by national banks.
The comptroller defends the national
banking system ard at length argues
for it's continuance, anu says the fund
ing of six per cent, bonds into per
cents. has made rapid progress during
the last year; and national banks have
been Of great service to the govern
ment in this process of refunding by
negotiating and absorbing a very con-
siderable part of the new issues. Should
the national system continue, there is
no doubt that the present rapid reduc-
ton III the bonded debt will continue
also. If the National bank system is
to be abolished, and an additional
amount Of United States notes is to be
ISSUED, all nope OF reducing the
rate of interest on the public debt
must be abandoned. Twenty
one millions of dollars, yearly, may be
saved to the government by funding
the 5 and 6 per cent. bonds into per
cents, while the amounts which it is
claimed may be annually saved by the
repeal of the national bank act, and
the issue of 800 millions of uncontro-
vertible treasury notes is 100000
only. With an issue of this large amount
of government notes, the funding of
the public debt will be rendered inn
possible, for the pledge of the govern
ment will then be violated, and its
credit permanently injured. Which is
the. wiser course, to continue the work
Of funding the debt, which has so
successfully progressed during the pres
ent year. thus saving the greater

A Natural Telephone.

On the authority of Colonel Talcott,
who vouches for the truth Of the matter,
there is a certain point on q ridge nigh
up on Kearsarge mountain where can
be heard the rumble of trains on the
Southern Pacific Railroad as they cross
the range to the west of Mohave, 14O
miles distant. There is a regular daily
train passing at 1870 o'clock, and upon
reaching the place at this hour the noise
of the train is heard as stated. 1t is a
curious thing IN, nature, but scarcely
more, wonderful than some of the noun
tain echoes we read of, nor more in
comprehensive than late achievements
of science in telephones, monographs
and megaphones, possibly involving the
same principle of conducting sound
through the air of solids. = Inpo (CM)
