TALK WITH Mr.. SHERMAN.
The Secretary Of the Treasury said, this evening,
that in spite OF the recent slight rise the price Of
silver "a natural aud fevcgSh temporary tendency
he still believed the passage OF the Silver Bill was
an evil for the country lie should. however. carry

to insure to them any measure OF relief
which II may afford. lie still adhered, how
ever. 10 the views he had long entertained
that the bill is an almost unmixed evil.
Tho conversion Of bonds from the 6 TO the 4i2 per
cent species has almost wholly stopped in spite OF
every effort employed Oh his part through new and
hitherto untred ways, by getting rid of the syndi-
cate and otherwise TO urge the conversion forward
TO the utmost of his ability, while he said, II Euro
peans continue the sale in large quantities of our
bonds held by them great and almost irretricyable
embarrassment will ensue
The Secretary said that he does not believe the
silver bullion certificate measure about to be
brought forward by the silver men will pass At least
twenty of the Senators are pledged against II, ana
he believes firmly that the Silver Bill was only
passed over the veto because many who voted for

the subject and place a barrier, in passing this BILL

He was emphatic in tho statement OF his
belief that the silver certificate measure
will never become law, and said, moreover
that the platform taken by its advocates Of a ccrti
cate for value of deposits only against the gold
certificates now issued ia wholly usory, as the 23
per cent over amount of gold deposited allowed TO
be issued is only an option given to the Treasury
and il never carried out. He said that he did not
believe either that Germany will Temonetze silver
Ii would be greatly TO advantage, he sald,
II all nations which have rejected silver
as circulating medium would do so,
but he had no faith in any such RECOMMENDATION by
them.
In point Of fact, Secretary Sherman appeared
unable 30 admire the silver lining to financial
cloud. -
WHAT BUCKNER EXPECTS.
Judge Buckner said this evening that he,
with many of his colleagues, was never OF
the opinion that the passage of the Silver

THE LOUISIANA NATIONAL BANK.

From the representative printer Of this estab-
lishment there was on Saturday night great
run of perspiration. owing to the excessive heat
of the weather and the large run Of advertising
business. These facts combined probably
caused him not to keep the run Of all his duties,
and he omitted TO put in our columns the state
ment of bank of which thousands of our read
ers are anxious to keep the run. The most
charitable and probable reason to assign for his
sin of omission is, that he was under the inn
preston that good bank statement was like
good wine, and would keep and improve by age.
Hence he omitted to present to our readers the
semi annual statement Of that staunch and
popular institution the Louisiana National
Bank. A mere glance at this will convince the
merchant and general reader Of the strength
and stability of the bank. Its affairs are ad-
mi Distered with great prudence and saRacity,
and its prosperous condition, as shown by the
official statement published in another column,
reflects the highest credit on its managers.

of Bienville street and Hagan Avenue, and
