MINOR NOTES.

Gen. Sherman thinks that Sheridan will he
able to sustain his charges against the man
ngement of the Indians by the Interior De-
partment.
The naval estimates for the next fiscal year
are nearly the same as for the last, or about
fourteen millions of dollars. The Secretary s
report will be regarded satisfactory. Our
navy, he says, is in better condition than it
was one year ago and is well adapted to II
peace establishment. In the event of war
ninety vessels could be at once supplied for
hostile purposes.
A most bitter and acrimonious political bat
tie is in progress in North Carolina between
Senator Merrimon and Governor Vance, for
the Senatorship, Both are Bourbon Demo-
Gratis There are fifty Republicans in the
Legislature, whom each is desrous of ICON
ciliating, as neither can be elected without
Republican votes.
The Republican majority in Michigan will
reach 50, 600 In 90 counties the Groenback
vote exceeds the Democratic.
Official returns show the Republican ma
jority in Illinois, on the State ticket, to be
about $4,000.
Secretary Sherman told the Baltimore bank
ers, who had an interview with him Saturday,
that legal tender notes would be received in
payment of customs duties after January /,
and that legal tenders will be redeemed at all
the sub-treAsuries when presented in sums of
$50
There will be no negroes in the next Con-
gress, unless O'Hara of North Carolina gets a
certificate, which is doubtful. In the Forty
second Congress there were nine negroes; in
the Forty-third, seven in the orty-fourth,
four in the Forty-ffth three.
No less than five of the young women who
have visited Mrs. Hayes at the White House
during the last Is months have been married
either during or since their visits there.
EI-Yice President Colfax and wife oelebrat-
ed their tin wedding at South Bend, last week
There were 400 guests, and presents from all
| parts of the country.
Secretary Sherman is very much gratifed
at the steady and increasing demand for four
per cent bonds There have been over 800, o.
600, 900 sold during the present year, and
there have been in all about $175, 900, 900 of

shall prevent the cheap silver dollars from
driving gold out of circulation, Mr. Sherman
hopes to dispose of $500, 600, 900 of the four
per-cents during 1879.
The United States government appropriat-
ed $649, $50 for the expenses of the several
| departments of the government at the Phil

ment has footed up the actual expenses,
and finds that they are $40, 243 less than the
appropriation so that there is no deficit, but
surplus.

Preaching by Rev. 7. NJ. Butler. In tho
evening the Baptist Sunday school will have
a sociable, with refreshments, at the resi-
dence of the superintendent, DIR. II. b. Ken
yon, to which all friends are invited.
The praise concert on Sunday evening
was both instructive and appropriate to the
season of the year. The parts were all
promptly taken and well chosen. The
school choir sang excellently, and did no lit
tie credit to their teachers.
Next Sunday the Baptist church will hold
service of thanksgiving for the wonderful
work of grace among the Teloogoos OF India,
and All opportunity for a thanksgiving offer
ing will be presented.

WHAT THE BANKS ARE EXPECTED TO DO
of the city banks after the resumption of spe-
Gle payments by the government Robert
Bliss, the vice-president of the bank of New
York, was recently asked
Suppose l am depositor, and on Janu-
AIRY >. 1871, / offer for deposit in your bank
fifty trade silver dollars, will they be receiv-
ed Z"
mo; We would take them as a special de-
post to be paid in the same coin Trade
dollars, by the way, would not be received at
all, except as a special deposit, for they are
not a legal tender"
How would it be with so full coinage dol
lars ?"
1--WE should receive them, to be paid eff in
the same coin"
"How if l offer subsidiary silver coin ?"
Owe would not take it at all that is not
over 81 worth TO make change"
Suppose | am a dealer and present a
check for $500 on January ?, 1879, and ask
for gold shall get tY
''Yes, if the government resumes"
How will the daily banking in the city of
New York differ, if at all, from the banking
in 1902"
1T won't differ any it will be just as it
was then, only its volume viii be greatly in
creased"
"Are the national banks likely to retro
their one and two dollar bills after resump-
ton p
mot if they can help it not unless they
are compelled to, for they are very great
convenience. 1t depends entirely upon the
action of the government upon the silver
bill"

been prolific of news in this region The
weather hag'been dull, and it has been driz-
zle drizzle, Srizzle all the week, when the
drizzle did n5t become pour, and the pros
pect, at present, is that this week will follow
suit. Well, the earth will be filed with wa
ter for winter use, so it is not best to grum-
bic. There is one interesting item which
ought to make us rejoice,-our county Jail is
tenantless and has been since Court. How it
would be if all the rogues in the county were
in safe keeping 1 cannot say, but let us hope
it would still be NJ. T. (empty.) Work pro-
crosses upon the railroad, though the rain
has hindered it. Signs accumulate that this
enterprise il TO be pushed forward with en-
ergy. Some fancy, when the railroad is COM
pleted, that somehow the county buildings

innocent swivel of chronic grumhlors: they
must have something to grumJle about. and
it may rs well be this rs anything else.

falling upon him, while he was at work un-
der it. The pile contained nearly thous-
and feet and fell quite a distance. Mr. Dawes
was badly bruised and one of his hips was

The BANKRUPTCY RECORD. - While the
bankrupt law was in force there were 1O3, OO5
bankruptcies in the United States. Relative
ly to population, Massachusetts, had the most
bankruptcies one to every 100, and Maryland
had the fewest one to every 9O4 of popula-
ton. Virginia ranks next to Massachusetts,
and California is third. Connecticut is six
teenth in list of forty States and territories
The list of more than 100, 900 bankruptcies
looks large, but there are at least 700, 900
business men in the country, and there are
among the bankrupts at least ten per cent
who have failed more than once, and also
good many not in active business bankrupt
by endorsement or other outside connection
1t is, therefore, about fair conclusion that
one in nine of the business men of the coun-
try have failed in the past ten years. This is
bad enough, but it is below the general rule
that one in every six men fails, which has
been accepted by statisticians. In Vermont
during the eleven years working of the ma
tiOnal law, 992 petitions were filed, or one in
every 1888 of the population.

charges to the effect that the committee de-
