After applying the balance of the special de-

for the redemption of fractional currency,

rears of pensions, rs directed in section of
the act approved June 81, 1879. the increased
revenue derived during the months of July,
August and September of the present year was
fully absorbed by current expenses and the
payment of $16,374, 249 60 arrears of pensions
accruing under the ant approved Jan. Is, 1879.
Notwithstanding these unusual demands, the
department has been able to purchase and ap-

per centum bonds of 1881, and $676,O50 s

has founda copy of circular which it prints
with much wailing and crashing of teeth,
and that the public may see the matter in all
its enormity the GLOBE reproduces it, as
follows:
ST. PAUL, Minnesota, Nov. %, 1879.
To whom it may concern:
In the contested election case arising in this
Congressional district, between Ignatius Dom
nelly and William D. Washburn, the counsel
and friends of Mr. Washburp are, we learn, in
their printed brief and otherwise, trying to
mako it appear that the Democracy of the
Third Congressional district did not desire the
election of Mr.. Donnelly, and do not now ask
that he be seated as their representative.
WedO not see as this has anything to do with
the merits of the controversy; and we cannot
believe the House of Representatives will list
on to any such partisan appeals; but siace the
issue is raised We feel that it is due to the
Democracy of the district. as we'll as to our
selves as their official representatives, to
state that, with the exception of few indi-
viduals who are personally hostile to Mr.. Dom
nelly, or who held friendly or business rela.
tions with Mr.. Washburn, the Democracy
of the Third district cordially and heartily
supported MIR. Donnelly in the election; and
his success in the pending contest.
They believe that if no money had been
spent against him, he Mr.. Donnelly, would
have received certificate of election; and that
corruption apart-he was really elected.
His nomination was the result of a sponta.
neous cooperation of the Democrats and Green
hackers of the district, without any solicita-
tion on his part. ROBERT A. SMITH
Chairman Democratic Central Committee.
Third Congressional District of Minnesota.
W. NJ. TnEsToN,
Secretary Democratic Central Committee
l cordially concur i'll the foregoing state
ment. 81. HALL,
Editor of the Daily GLOBE,
The only Democratic daily published in the
State of Minnesota.
We have every reason to believe that this
circular is genuine document, and it was
called forth by the extraordinary attempt of
Mr.. Washburn to retain his seat, not be-
cause he was innocent of bribery, but on the
grounds that some Democrats are opposed
to Mr.. Donnelly. As the GLOBE has repeat
eddy stated, this whole matter is not personal
to Mr.. Donnelly. His personal success or
failure is of no consequence, but it is i'm
portant to deter mine whether the popular
will is to be overthrown by the corrupt use
of money. -~ -s ID
The Minneapolis morning newspap er
which prints the circular follows it with the
usual cry that it is absurd for Washburn's
seat to be contested, because he has three
thousand majority, This is the constant
cry of tho Washburn gang, but it should
deceive no one. The ground for ousting
Washburn is that he bought his election.
Everyone admits that he received majority
of the votes cast, and at the same time any
honest man who is familiar with that can.

the passage OF the act OF January II, 1875, has
largely decreased, is now increasing in its az
gregate amount, showing that the system re
spends promptly to the varying requirements
of business.
The advantages Of this system over any sys-
tenn of banks hitherto devised are that their
circulating notes are secured beyond p"radven.
ture Of loss; they are of universal credit in the
country wherever issued; they are more per-
fectly protected from counterfeitine; they
equalize exchanges between distant parts of the
country; they are promptly redeemed on de-
mand at one common place; the banks are sub
ject to strict and vigilant surveillance by in
dependent officers of the government; their
condition is frequently made known to the pub
lie; and they contributes very large percentage
OF their profits in the way of taxes. A system
of banking that, after an existence Of sixteen
years. through war and periods of great infa-
tion and great depression, has produced such
results, may fairly appeal for the confidence
and support of Congress.
INTERNAL COMMERCE.
The internal commerce of tae country, as
exhibited by the tonnage transported on rail
roads, has steadily increased in volume even
during the period of commercial depression of
the last six years. THIS affords an illustration
of the respective powers of the country, as the
commodities transported on railroads are the
products of agriculture, Of mining and of man
ufacturing industries. More than 80 per cent.
of the internal commerce of the country is
now carried ON by means of railroad transpor-
tation, and the habits of the producing and
commercial classes are becoming more and
more corformed to its methods and necessities.
The facilities for direct trade afforded by ar
rangements entered into between connecting
railroads has greatly extended the trade limits
Of the seaports and of all interior points.
Similar combinations between railroads and
lines afford extensive privileges
for direct foreign trade at all the important
interior points of the country. The c6mpeti
tion of rival lines for through traffic has given
rise to grave questions touching State COM
merce. These questions relate chiefly to the
matter of determinations in rates. As purely
national questions they demand careful Inc
vestigation under the'authority of Congress.
The remainder of the report is devoted to
the national board of health, pub
ic buildings, the District of Columbia, etc.,

Policeman Falls into a Cistern and is
Seriously Injured.
About o'clock yesterday morning the
guests at the Sherman house were aroused
by the disorderly conduct of drunken
ruffian, whose cries alarmed the entire
neighborhood. Mr.. Kissner, one of the
proprietors OF the hotel, demonstrated with
the individual, who drew revolver and
threatened to serve Mr.. Kissner up as first
class subject for the coroner. The night
clerk of the hotel raped for policeman, in
response to which Officers Nugent and Glib
bons appeared, previous to which, however,
tina noisy person started to run, pursued by
Officer Nugent. Following in his wake the
officer thought to head him off by
running through an alley in
Wann's block, shortly after entering
which he fell into on open cistern, a distance
of about fourteen feet deep, coming in con-
tact with quantity of stones and rubbish
at the bottom of the man hole and severely
ipjuring himself. Officer Gibbons was at
tracted by his cries, and with the assistance
of aid from the hotel, they succeeded in rails
ing him from the pit, and a carriage having
been procured by Sergeant Walsh in the
meantime, he was taken to DIR. jones' Office,
where his injuries were dressed with the as
sistance of DR.. Owens. A diagnosis of the
injuries was made yesterday, by Drs. Muir
ply and Hagan, who set the left shoulder,
which was badly dislocated. He was also
bruised about tho side, back aud shoulders,
and it is thought that he will be laid up for
some weeks. The matter of leaving dan
gerous excavations open should be promptly
investigated.
