"a young man named Joe Denty, well known
10 this city, was brought to tho Fifth rrtcn,t

the vial containing the poison from him. He
then went over to EotWisic's drug store and
eutosVorcd 10 purchase twenty cents worth OF
Iaudanum, but the clerk refused to sci! ii to

vent off 10 search of Hurdle. The latter, mean.
whilr. mad stated tho case 10 officers Janfer
and Bailey, and when Donty c:mo across tho
| street DO was Immediately arrested and taken
TO the station and locked up. Upon searching
him the following letter Was found, addressed

millions have obtained currency. This
every newspaper reader knows to be false.
1t is we'll known fact that the treasury de-
partment is q member of the New York
Clearing House association, and that that Or
ganization, soon after the reconciliation Of
silver, declared that it would not submit to
the adoption of a dual coin standard, pro-
nouncing most emphatically against the cir
oulstion of the silver dollar. 1t is further
known that both Mr.. Sherman
and Mr.. Hayes, about the same
time, asserted publicly that
the attempt to circulate silver would be q
failure, and that both did all in their power
to cast disrepute upon this portion of our
circulating currency. For several months
MIR. Sherman refused to honor the de-
mands of the business public
for silver, on ono d" pretext
or another, though he might have issued
millions, and took every occasion to an
nounce to the public that the people did not
want silver-that it was too cumbersome
and also debased coin which would not be
accepted at its face value. He refused to
accept it in payment of treasury dues; the
postofice department refused and still re-
fuses to accept it in payment for postage
stamps, and the national banks, in purGu-
ance of the policy inaugurated by the Clear
ing House association, refuse to accept it on
deposit except under a special agreement.
The fact is undisputed that silver has got
into circulation in spite of the opposition of
both Sherman and Hayes.
The routine portion of the report is inter-
esting, as it covers many details of the man
agement of governmental affairs that can be
procured from no other source. But they
require no extended reference at this time.
The excerpts given elsewhere will no doubt
be perused with interest.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 3O.-It cannot be
said that the majority of the Republicans, espe-
cially those from the West are pleased with the
recomme ndation of the Presidents message and
of the report of the secretary of the treasury,
that greenbacks be retired either by funding
them or by paying them off and cancelliug
them, and that the coinage of the silver dol
lar be stopped. There is a manifest reluc-
tance to commit the party at this session to
such financial policy. Indeed there is manifest
a very strong desire that there shall be no
financial legislation whatever, but that re-
sumption be left where it is, and nothing
done which can tend to unsettle this financial
condition or retard the prosperity of the coun-
try.
The programme for Monday is not difficult to
foreshadow. Both Houses will be called to
order punctually at noon. In the House the
first business transacted will be the swearing
in of six new members elected last fall after
whi:h the Presidents message will bs read.
Then the regular ORDER which Is a call of
States for the presentation of bills and reso-
lutions for reference to committees, will be
proceeded with. It is permissible on Monday
to move to suspend the rules, aud it is thought
that Democratic member will move suspen-
sion On a bill creating the rank of captain gen.
eral of the army, and authorize the President
to appoint ex-President Grant. The Democrats,
however do not intend to inaugurate the ses-
sion with hasty or ill considercd legislation,
and to avoid any mistakes on the part of the
small fry, will move to adjourn Immediately
after the reading of the Presidents message.
Outside of political legislation the Indian ques-
ton will no doubt receive a large share Of at
tention. The transfer of the Indian bureau
from the interior to the war department is re-
garded as a measure of the greatest Importance
at this time. There seems to be general feel
ing among members here in favor of the pass
age of such a law soon as possible. The re-
peal of all laws establishing a reservation for
the Utes in Colorado, and the removal of the
Utes to another reservation to be selected
for them, is said by Western members to
be Of great Importance to the West.

The Presidents message was prematurely
published yesterday morning in the New
York Herald, Cincinnati Enquirer and
Chicago Times. Advance copies had been
sent, az was supposed, to Mr.. Bickel, inter-
nal revenue collector in this city. In view
of its publication the ban of secrecy was
removed and Mr.. Bickel went to look for
the document. He found, instead of the
message, two packages containing copies of
the treasury report. Evidently some one
had Numbered and instead of sending the
message they had given st. Paul a double
dose of finance. The GLOBE accordingly
secured the message by telegraph and pre-
sents it this morning. Last year Mr.. Hayes
utterance did not come to hand until the day
after it's receipt by telegraph, and this year
some one has Numbered again.
