In reference to the Greenbackers' plant
that the country is ruined by the eontrac-
tion OF the currency, the Chicago Tribune
has compiled from the official statements of
the Treasury Department some statistics
which may be Of interest at :he present
time. These give the amount OF paper
money in circulation at the close Of each tis-
cal year from April, 1850, to july, 1873.
Down to about 1861, the bank note circula-
tion was that of State banks after that date
the amount Of bank notes given in the table
includes State and National bank notes. The
amount Of greenbacks is given separately,
but under the head of total paper money is
included all the bank paper, all the green
bucks, the one and two-yelr interest notes of
1868, the compound-interest notes of 1868
and 1861, the old demand notes, and the
fractional currency. The amount of bank

The members ot the Congressional Demo
cratic Committee will make an early visit ID

The Republicans OF Pennsylvania CON-
mence the campaign this week, three months
before the election. Ex Speaker Grow opens
the ball and the work will be pushed with

The Democrats ot the Fifteenth Congres-
sional District OF Ohio nominated Judge

times took II moths recess, after which the
struggle was resumed, ending Us We have

Assistant Postmaster General Tyner states
that when he asked Grant at Paris whether
he wonld be candidate in 1850, the neaI
est approach to an answer WAS II am
heartily tired of pualie lille, and have no dc
sire again to enter upon it," The truth OF
the thing probably is that he wouldn't II he

The New York Times Raleigh IN. C0
despatch says the Indications are that the
Republicans, Independents ard Sherman
men will constitute majority of the Legis-
lature. The Republicans carried a number
of the counties they lost in 1872. and were
only divided in the large negro counties :,
and it is now probable that strong fight
will be made in all the Congressional Dis
tricts The net Republican gain in the Leg
stature as far as heard from Is three-whieh
ism of much account, since the Democrats
had a majority Of 16 on joint ballot in the

SOME curious ideas are being ventilated BY
the witnesses examined by tha. remarkable
body, the Congressional labor committee
One Of them, AdOlph Douala, made the fol
lowina modest and extremely practical sug-
gestions: That the eighthour law be enforc-
ed !; that the government cause inspectors to
visit factories, inspect their private books
and find out what profits capitalists are max
ing on the labor Of workingmen, and that
the results be published that Congress
abolish the contract system; prohibit child
ren under II years OF age from working IN
factories, and limit women from working
that Congress provide a better system OF ed
ucation, compel employers to pay wages
weekly, and abolish The Conspiracy
laws; that justice be administer
cd IN tine courts graInitously Tor
all that indirect taxes aad customs duties
be abolished no abridgment oi tne right oil
suffrage; graduated income tax, to maln-
tain the government; every male adult to be
permitted To vote, and public officers 10 be
recalled at the will ut the people, even dur
iny the session. Another witness claimed
thst the general use Of machinery was
great cause of depression. and has sent mil
lions OF men to wander on the highway aud
byways without employment. He would
not. however, destroy machinery. rs with
out machinery the human race could not now
get along, but he wanted machinery regulat-
cd to such an extent that it would not cause
the enforced idleneSs of woikmen- At this
rate the labors # the committee vii no.
prove Of any marked utility, We fear.
