The Refunding Certificates.

ClhClLAh Of SEChETAhI SHERMAN.
AS the refundfng certificates are being taken
all over the country the most of them fall into
the hands OF the banks The banks buy them
for conversion into four per cent bonds TO
speculative purposes. In order to get the Ger
ti1cates as far as possible into the hands OF the
following circular:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D. c.,
April 1s79.-The attention OF all officers OF the
ing certificates is called to the manifest purpose
OF the act OF February 26, $780, providing for the
issue OF such certificates, that they shall
small savings in government securities.
In the circular OF April Is 1t was announced that
all the four per cent, bonds offered for sale had
been sold, and that these certificates would be
reserved for sale in sums not TO exceed one hun
dred dollars at one time. The department is
ADVISED that, In consequence OF the rise In value
OF Of four Per cent. bonds, this Intention Of the
lative purposes with q view to the Immediate
conversion OF the certificate In large sums into
bonds for sale. Where such evasion is manifest,
or where any one person claims more than 500
either for himself or others, the certificates viii
be refused, and the authority OF any designated
depositary who falls to enforce this circular Will
allowed on sales made by him. The treasurer
and assistant treasurers OF the United States
will be required to strictly observe this circular
Hereafter, commissions on sales will be allowed
at the rate OF one-eighth OF one per cent, as
heretofore, but only to designated depoSitaries
for the sale of refundtng certificates. When the
average sales, however, are in excess of $lO. 900
Per day, and less than $50, 900, the rate of COM
mission on such excess shall be one dollar per
thousand dollars, and when in excess OF $4,000
per day 1t shall be fifty cents per thousand
collars On the excess. Owing to the great pres
sure upon the department In the issue of four
per cent. bonds already subscribed for, and the
redemption Of called i've twenty and ten-forty
bonds; the conversion OF refundtng certificates
into bonds will necessarily be postponed until
on or after July next.

Another Speck of War.

And now war Is threatened between Gen.
Bragg, of Wisconsin, and Representative
Sparks, OF Illinois. Bragg is chairman of the
war claims committee. Sparks is chairman Of
the military committee. The old clerk of the
war claims committee Is named Garrard He
wanted to retain his place, but Gen. Bragg told
MN ne conldn't keep him, because he had one
OF his own constituents whom he had brought
here TO be his clerk. Not at all undaunted,
Garrard set to work and got m lJority of the
members OF the committee to promise to vote
1Or MS retention. Gen. Bragg got Wind of this,
ard In order to defeat Garrards election he
refused to call a meeting of the commit-
tee. Meanwhile he put his man in as clerk
OF the committee and changed all the locks In
the door to keep the old clerk out
1t also appears that Mr.. Sparks, who Is Carr
ARDS friend, and who got MIN the promise of
enough votes to secure his election as clerk OF
the war claims committee, brought a young
man here to be the clerk of the military COM
mittee. Gen. Bragg Is a member OF the COM
mlttee. In order to turn the tables on Mr.
Sparks, he quietly got enough members to pro-
mise That they would vote against the selection
Mr: sparks had made. But Sparks heard Of it,
and ne, too, as chairman, refuses to call meet
ing OF the military committee, fearing that his
clerk may be voted out. Thus two important
committees Of the House are tied up for the lit
tie spotls which attach to the clerkShip worth
