SECRETARY SHERMAN is reported to be
troubled about the silver dollars. They
prove to be by no means the benefcent factor
in the problem of resumption which he
thought they would. In spite of all the e1-
pedients which have been resorted to, to get
the standard silver dollars in circulation,
there is an average of triae less than fifteen
thousand of these dollars issued from the
Treasury Department daily. The greater
part of this daily issue finds its way back
again into the treasury by way of the New
York Custom House. The Department can
not compel people to take them. If the
cashier of the Treasury Department offers
one of the employees half of his salary in his
silver, the clerk smilingly asks to be given a
silver certificate. The debased coins will
not move. The gold coin reserve in the
treasury has decreased since resumption was
begun in about the same proportion as silver
dollars have been coined, or at the rate of,
say, two millions per month. The inevitable
rule that the cheaper COIN will drive the
more valuable money from circulation. holds
true. If he could have his way the Secretary
would probably cease the coinage of these
dollars altogether after fifty millions of them
were in existence, or enough for subsidiary

Mr.. E. V. SNALLEY, the Tribune cores
pondent, who has spent the last two months
in the South, finds the whites as solid as q
paving stone for the Democratic party, but
he thinks they are not as violently hostile
towards the Republicans of the North as
formerly. They are, however, greatly
pulled up with sense of their own impor-
lance, and expect that with the help of
Northern Democrats. they will control
affairs as they please in the future. As to
what they intend to do with their power,
Mr. Smalley is unable to ascertain, except
that they must have as much money for
Southern purposes as the North has had
since the war began. He finds the negroes
still true to the Republican party. In all
his travels be found but one colored Demo
crat. and be is a member of the Arkansas
Legislature. Republicanism, Mr.. Smalley
says, is religion with the colOred people.
The Southern Republicans are all for Grant
as a rule, though few colored men pre-
ferred Conkling or Blaine. lie also finds
general disgust among the Democrats at the
idea Of renominating Tilden.

The differences between the two Houses
of Congress on the Legislative bill, and the
Senate amendments to the Deficiency bill
touching the pay of United States marshals,
are thought to be irrecOncilable, and it is
feared in Washington that both bills will
fail. Senator Thurman is quoted as saying
that he had no doubt that there would be
an extra session OF Congress, and Senator
Window, chairman Of the Senate appropria-
tions committee, declares the outlook for
finishing up the appropriation bills dis
couraging in the extreme.

to food the country with more irredeemable
paper. 1t passed the Bland bill in its worse
shape, and nothing but the amendments of
the Senate saved the country from its
gravest mischiefs. While swelling the
expenditures of the Government, it has
wantonly struck down the revenues. 1t has
embarrassed the Treasury with an inevitable
deficit which must increase the public debt.
1t has spent its best energies in scraping the
cutters and defaming honorable public men.
1t has sought to overturn the tariff and
harrass the business of the country with
vexatious changes, and it has wilfully and
wrongfully inflicted on the Treasury and the
country the heavy expense and damage to
every public interest Of an extra session of

We see by arecent account in the

Elgiu, Ill.,, has fairly launched out in

He commenced three years ogo on a

grew to be about an inch in length.
The second year they were no. large
enough for marketing. The third
year they began to DO marketable
Ia kind of spring chicken frog and
by this time he had on hand 200, 600
dozen of the several ages, on one
and a quarter acres of land. A pint
Of spawn will hatch out about ,, 600.
This spawn was obtained from
Christholm Rapids, on the Trent, in
Leower Canada, and the variety is
there known as the "gosIin frog" as
they catch the young gosIins, whence
the name They grow five or six
times as large as the common frog
and five sixths of the spawn matches
ont Mr., Soule keeps men gather

season, he will have none for sale of
this kind until next year, when be
thinks he can supply the market of
