Mr.. SHERMAN LeiIs us that If the
national banks be destroyed, as pro-
posed by the Greenbackers, the saving
would be $12. 800, 900 at 4 per cent
But if the government, instead OF
banks, issue these notes, the govern
ment must keep on hand fund to re-
deem the notes, say 25 per cent. OF
their amount. The interest on this
fund would be 5000 900. Then the
banks pay $17, 600. 900 taxes annually,
and thus the loss would be SEQ 900 600
and the people would lose $1,000. 600
annually by losing the banks. But the
greatest evil incident to the destruc-
tion of the banks would arise from the
vast centrslizing power given directly
to the government. The power of the
Treasury would be measureless and its
corruptness magni6ed a hundred fold.
Can't the Greenbackers substitute
some other agency than the central
government for the banks? The Gen.
trail empire is s:rong and corrupt
enough, even now, and If clothed
with the prerogatives and iniu-
ence of 1000 banks it would
surely be omnipotent and its vices in
calculably augmented. The banks are
bad enough and dangerous enough, If
the Greenbackers are to be believed,
and surely they would not invest the
governm .nt with their vices.

THE laws Of New York mpel the
underground sewerage OF Incorporated
towns and cities, and thus there are
no pits or sinks breathing infinite and
endless foulness and pollution, and ty-
phoid and scarlet fevers are rarely
known. II we printed only once an
accepted statement that $40, 900 would
saYe the lives of all the asses and
mules in the city, which would other
wise be endangered, our city fathers
would expend the money instantly; bu'
they can't afford to expend $4,000
to cleanse the foulness of either side OF
the Avenue, and save the lives of the
people.

Kslloch ID more than six feet high and

thanking the Lord that "the Chinsmsn

he declared, with degree of earnest

those most bitterly opposed to him and

personal, vulgar journalism. They
show that, however DeYoung's newsps

Mr.. MULLETT, ex-SupervIsing Ar

plans and specifications for the con-
struction of the Capitol. So are
Brown & Jones, famous architects of
St. Louis, and James B Cook, the lat
ter pupil of Humboldt. They
should know that the limestone quar-
ries are within three miles of the site
of the proposed structure, that the
stone is easily wrought and that the
marble qusrries of Burnet are but six
ty miles distant. The latter stone,
for such a building, ID infinitely
to be preferred, and If Austin
would construct the propcs d
Lampasss road q branch to Burnet
would give US a capitol of marble cost
Ing no more than one built of limestone
like that used on the new postofflce

strange that men owning q city like
this do not cooperate in making it

The children begotten of whisky are
notoriously depraved in body and in

declare that whisky is not an article of
merchandise, but q poison and not
merely maluua prohibitum, but NAHUM

hibit the introduction of yellow fever,
aud Congress, if it choose, may even
more wisely prohibit the introduction
of whisky. l. regulates and restricts
to day the manufacture and selects it,
agents TO control distilleries, and by
the same right it may close these dis
tllleries. Successive generations, if
