OK the subject of currency and the
ability of the banks to resume, the Gin
cinnati Gazette, of Tuesday last, says:
Additional bank circulation to the
amount of 81 ,459 500 was issued to banks
during the month of April. AS the whole
amount issued under the free circulation
clause of the so-called resumption act
since its passage, January l, 1875, is only
about A millions, it will be seen that this
is a movement ahead in the increase of
bank circulation. There has been much
ignorant talk that in resumption 'the
banks must take care of themselves and
OF their having to prepare for resumption
by boarding coin; but the greenbacks
Will still be legal tender for bank redemp-
non, and so long as there shall be even so
mueh as 800 millions afioat the banks need
nave no concern about coin to redeem

can float 300 or 345 millions of greenbaclxs
with 522 millions of bank notes on ton of
them, how much circulation can the
banks float on such a volume of legal to-
der notesl''
Those who have read our articles on
the subject of the currency and finances
for the last two years, know that while
we have advocated the reconciliation OF
silver coin and making it legal tender
in the payment of all debts, that we
have never advocated an imitation ol
the greenbacl currency nor contraction
of it, but that we have always advocated
the resumption Of specie payment, JUS
as soon as it could be done without fore
ing it, to the great injury Of the business
interests of the community. We believ,
that the country is now ready, withou
the aid of the resumption act, for tina
desirable result, especially if the 345 mil
aions of dollars of greenbacks of whicl
the Gazette speaks are not to be retired
but received and paid out again by tn
Government, and to remain good as a lie
gal tender for National bank notes; for
in this event, but few demands would b
likely to be made for coin in exehang
for greenback or National bank paper.

THE Lebanon Star, of last week, says
that ''Mr. Quinby, who represents Clin-
ton county in the Legislature, wants to
go to Congress from this District. Col
Huliclc, of CIermont county, also wants
the honor. Likewise Tom Moore, of But
ler.'' The Star might have added the
names of number of other gentlemen
who are anxious for the same honor, and
who have equal qualifications tor the po-
sition.

WE see it stated that the Treasurer of
Trumbull county, this State, is a default
er to the amount of $50, 900. The only
strange thing about this, in these days of
short comings, is that the defauIter is a
Republican. 1t is remarkable case.

TIE foreign news for the two pastdays
seems to justify the belief that war be-
tween England and Russia is inevitable.
England continues her warlike prepara-
tions, and seems to be getting ready for
business Of a nature that Russia would
like to avoid if she could do so, and main
tain her character for bravery. If Eng
land does not mean war, the query is,
what does she mean by her steady prepa-
rations of a warlike character?

CHAPTER III.
WITHIN PLEvNA.


Pasha Hicks was with the Turkish army in
Pleyna. He had grown in favor aud hal de
veloped into very pretty tyrAnt in his way.
The daring woman who had fed with him
from Stamooul IS still his companion Still
wearing her masculine disguise, Lulu is
naughty, self-possessed and defiant when
alone with her Pssha. When there are OBJ
servers she is as obsequious as slave. She
was desperate and she was deprsved; but 1t
was her punishment that, even amid the ter.
rble scenes enacted around these foruica.
tons she could not rid herself of her wo-
mans nature nor stifie the voice that no
woman ever can stifie In her heart. More
than once she insisted I'm accom- sny ing
Pasha Hicks in the desperate ssliies made
sgiinst the beleaeus ring Russian army,
which, like a huge snake, wes gradu lily con-
tracing its lethai folds around the devoted
fortihcations. Ii may seem singular that no
eye penetrated her disguise. But her siza,
compile xion, aud, above all. the character of
her companion, secured her an immunity
FROM too curious inspection. Certain il is,
that IL the discovery had been made, that
dead Sultan's favorite bride had unsexed
herself in the fortress. the heroic defender
of Plevna would have visited upon Pasha
Hicks summary punishment.
Hitherto the change Of scene, the march
the excitement of the Defense the roar of
the artillery and all the thrilling uncertain
served to deaden ner mind to her own mis-.
cry. Hitherto she had tolerated the de-
PRAYED man for whom she had sacrificed ev-
cry thing, but whom she had never loved
But there is a foe who smltes an army and
who divides friends more surely than the
open enemy met in the "imminent deadly
brta;h." His name is Hunger. Closer and
still closer Todleben drew his iron band of
blockade, over which tkSpRussian eagles
were lowering ere they s@5oped down ire
sistble on their prey. There was the hush
of coRing destruction in the midnight ar.
There was a menace in the TALL black cy.
presses surrounding the doomed place, aud
pointing, as it were, with warning gesture
toward the sky. There a lcathsome
reality OF carnage about the frequent vul-
ture. Tapping heavily away with loaded
gorge and dripping beak from bis frequent
meal. Add 10 these the gnawing aities OF
hunger, and 1t is not difficult to understand
how intensely Lulu began 10 hate the con.
temptible wretch for whom she had sacrificed
everything. Yet there was no bitterness
arising from remorse In her vindictiveness
Sne had not learned the Christian doctrine of
virtue. She was maddened at the thought
that Sultan's bride should be dependent on
a puneently-odorous, red headed British
mercenary. Then he used to "a unit her In
her privacy; while her cold, steelgray eyes
