SILVER DOLLARS AT THE TREASURY.

SILVER DOLLARS AT TIE TREASURY.
No DIsCKiMINA1ION AGAINST SILVER CoIN-THE
SHARP TRICK Oh BASK-sLvER GOING OUT
IA>T.
WAsHryGTON, Sept. 14-Sccrctary Sherman has
stated to a correspondent of Inv TRIBUNE that
there Is no foundation for the statement that the
Treasury is discriminating AGAINST the silver dollar
in the settlement Of any claims due tho Govern
Inert. and that with the SINGLE exception of pay
ments from National banks TO the five per cent rc-
deinpton fund standard silver dollars received
from all quarters readily as gold or lcga-tendors
The statement seems to have arisen from the fact
that q certain National bank. which Is National
depository in this city, having received deposit of
$4,000 In legsl-tenders Government account
last week, sought to make its settlement with the
Treasury by turning equal amount of silver
certificates and standard dollars which It had pur-
chased at discount. The Treasury official. with
whom this transaction carried on, refused
under the circumstances TO receive the silver dollars
and was understood 10 say that IL had been deter
mined not TO receive them. except when they were
actually deposited in National repositories 10 The
credit of the Government. The Department, how
ever does not contemplate making any dscrimiua-
ton whaiever against the silver dollar.
With regard 70 the five per cent redemption fund
Secretary sherman finds no authority IN the Ian
euaee Of the law creating tins fund to receive any
=
sand whenever such rcdcmptons for any assoca-
ton shall amount to the of 100000. such as
eociation SO notified shall forthwith deposit with
the Treasurer Of the United States sum IN Cnted
States notes equal 10 the amount Of its circulating
lote. so redeemed" The silver dollar men ave al-
tesdy raised the point that the remonetzaron act
made the silver dollar full eCal-tender for n nur-
lo,s and that II repealed all acts or pSrts 1i ecS
irconssteDt with It's own provisions. OF which, they
ssscr the provision above quoted Is one. Secretary
Sherman has not yet been brought 20 take TINS view
q Tie case.
The motives Of the Secretary for making exccp-
ti0ral cAors % get the standard dollar into cmcu-
ll'iou hrve been the subject Of much comment and
widely varied Interpretation. In reply TO question

The New Postal Card.

Tyner, the postal-card agent, at
Holyoke, Mass, has received forty
steel plates engraved with the design
for the proposed two-cent interna-
tional card adopted by the postal
union. 1t can be sent to all coun-
tries represented in the union, in
Guiding about all Of Europe, China,
Japan, Brazil, etc. The design nee
esarily contains more printing than
the present card, and has border
something like the old one. At the
top are the words 'Universal Postal
Union" little curved, and repeated
in French in smaller type beneath.
Then come the words, in bold type,
'AUnited States of America" also re-
peated in French, and then the line,
IN English only, "write only the ad-
dress on this side" The stamp is a
weil,dasigned head of Liberty, sur
rounded by an elliptical border with
a figure 49, on each side, and the
works ~. S. Postal Card" around
it. The cards will begin to be issued

and you destroy the Union, Just as n
man and woman are made husband
and wife, by the bonds of matrimony,
and as by dissolving that bond, you
dissolve that Union, or as by the
death of one, that Union is destroyed.
Declare this a nation and the States
are at once destroyed, and can retain
no other relation to the central head,
than the province of Canada does to
the Parliament and Queen of Eng
land. This doctrine of centralza-
tion in the Federal Government, is
but revival of the old federal doc
trine, that tried to raise it's hydra head
in the days of the older patriots, but
could never make Roadway, until
clothed with the power of the bayo-
net. Some people seem to think,
that some how or other, the late war
annulled, or changed our glorious
constitution and form Of Government
so that political party in power,
may now do as it it pleases, and such
is, to too great extent the teaching
of the Republican leaders today
Others seem to believe, that the thir-
tenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, as they are called, have
in some mysterious way, changed
the whole form of our Government.
This is all a mistake, these amend
ments do not even purport to repeal,
amend or modify any of the other
articles Of that instrument; except
that they make the negroes citizens,
as it were, and prohibit the States
from making any discrimination be-
tween them and other citizens, on ac-
count of race, color or previous con-
dition Of servitude. Otherwise, the
powers of the Federal Government,
and of the several states, and their
relations to each other, remain as be-
fore. We write this not because it
is new, but because of its vital i'm
portance to the people at this time,
and before their liberties shall be
swallowed up in strong centralized
Government at Washington, claim
ing and exercising absolute and I'M
limited powers over the States, in Vi
olation Of that sacred Magma Chorta
of our liberties.

1t is proposed to extend the Pitts
burgh, Virginia & Charleston railroad
to Uniontown, where it will connect
with the Southwest railway. A con-
tinuous line is then to be built for
the united roads to the Monongahela
at or near Geneva, the river to be
followed to Morgantown, which, as
already stated, is for the present
mainly the objective point. The sur
veyors already have been at work on
the proposed line from Brownsville to
Uniontown. The road, it is thought,
will eventually be extended towards
the headwaters of Cheat river, West
