THE VOLUME OF CURRENCY.
How it Varies in Different Countries.

Congressman Warner, of Ohio, the
author of the Warner silver bill, has
prepared an elaborate comparative state
ment of the volume of currency in the
United States in 1866, 1873 and 1878,
showing also the amount per capita in
actual circulation at these periods, and
the volume and amount per capita in
circulation in the principal countries in
Europe. It was prepared at the request
of Congressman Muldrow, of Mississippi,
aud is as follows:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 80, 1879.
Hon. II. L. iaaldrop, starkuille, Mss:
DEAR SIR-In reply to your request of
June 10, have compiled from the most
reliable sources the enclosed tables. The
figures giving our own currency volume
at different periods are taken entirely
!; from official treasury statements made at
different times. Ihave included nothing
that was not strictly currency, although
Immediately after the war, and lasting
for some time, treasury certificates, quar-
termaster certificates and other evidences
of public debt, passed from hand TO hand /,
and to some extent, az least, performed
the functions of currency, and helped to
swell the effecting volume greatly beyond
the volume given, but as they were not
money in any proper sense, / have left
them all out, and included only what is
embraced in official reports as constitu-
ting the currency. As you will observe,
I have given the circulation of each pc
Rod per capita, which is a necessary com.
parison when considering the question Of
volume of money.
am very respectfully yours,
A. J. WARNER.

Of June, 1868, with what was supposed to be Acute
Rheumatism and was treated for the same with no
success In March, following pieces Of bone be
gan TO work out of the right arm, and continued
to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the
came out OF the right foot and leg. The case was
then pronounced one of White Swelling After
having been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, was induced to
try DR.. Pcmbcrton's Compound Extract of Stillin-
ca, and was SO well satisfied with its effects that
have continued the use Of 1t until the present.
My daughter WAS confined to her bed about six
years before she sat up or even turned over with
out help. She now sits up all day, and sews most
OF her time-las walked across the room. Her
general health il now good, and believe she will,

her recovery, with the blessing Of God, to the use
of your Invaluable medicine.

- One of the points made by Buford's
lawyer in the attempt to prove him he
reL:tary insane was that his father had
married an own cousin; the father end
mother looked so much alike that they
were frequently mistaken for brother and
sister. One of Bulord's brothers and a
sister died insane.

: well.known physician of this city

"A weIl-known physician Of thIs CITY IS
responsible for a story that, although
disgusting, may serve to show how the
yellow fever germ was preserved through
the intense cold of last winter. A South
Memphis woman, whose husband died
of the fever last year, not only preserved
the clothing which he had on when he
died, but even the sheet upon which he
lay, covered as it was with stains of black
vomit. She keeps these relics in wood

them out, because as she says, the smell
reminds her of her dear Willie.-lfem-

In addition to the above, the Demo
crat publishes statement of the vote
on the new constitution, and another
Of the majorities for and against the
| debt ordinance. From these figures
it appears that the approximate vote
in favor Of the constitution was S..
555, against it &c, 453; majority 70,
adoption 59,O72. Only ten parishes
voted against the constitution-As
cension, Assumption, lberville, JEFF
fersoD, St. Charles, St. James, St.
John, St. Martin, St. Mary and Terre-
bonnie.
Thirty-four parishes gave MAORI
ties in .favor of the debt ordinance
aggregating 3o,656, and twenty four
parishes gave counter majolities ag
gregating 5000. Therefore, the net
majority for the adoption of the ordi-
nance is 1876.
The political complexion Of the
General Assembly is thus stated:
Senate-3l Democrats, 5 Repub-
licans; House-76 Democrats, II Re-

The familiar intelligence comes to
US once again from St. Mary that
some mysterious individuals broke
into the Clerks office just after the
election and destroyed the ballot
boxes. The suggestion is made by a
Republican newspaper correspondent
that this act was committed with a
view to throwing the appointment of
local officers into the hands Of a Dem
ocratic Governor, but as the returns
were all in aud the compilation com
pleted, it strikes us as more probable
that the incentive to the escapade was
well founded apprehension that in
case of a contest, recount of the
ballots in the boxes might not show a
result similar to that reached in tile

The following facetious yet signifi-
cant paragraph appeared in the Gret-
na Courier of November %:
Tuesday will be election day. If things
don't go right some Of the boys may get
angry and kick the stuffing out of the
ballot-box.
Tuesday arrived in due course and
things didn't 60 right-that is, it was
found that two heavy Republican
polls in Gretna would give majority
against the able and popular editor
Of the Courier, who was the Demo-
cratic nominee for Justice of the
Peace and, to make the matter still
more aggravating, the opposing can
didate was man who had made him
Self obnoxious in the same position to
which he again aspi1ed. Hence it was
that, true to the prophecy of the far
seeing Courier, the Gretna boys got
angry, raided The polls under cover Of
a false alarm Of fire, smashed the bal
lot boxes to smithereens, destroyed
the poll books and tally sheets, and
frightened off the colored Republic
ans gathered to witness the count. by
noisy fus.lade from revolvers point
ed skyward. The only box in the
ward which was not disturbed gave a
majority that pleased the boys and
secured the return of their candidate,
we suppose this playful little esca-
pade is all Q. <, considering whose
OK ls gored, but if the circumstances
vi the case had been reversed and a
Democratic ward, parish and State
ticket had been eucllred out of several
hundred votes by similar violence. it
Is probable the virtuous Indignation
Of the Courier would have known No
bounds. Such a shameful outrage
upon one of the most sacred rights Of
Il tree people, and all that SORT Of
thing, you knew.
