UNITED STATES BONDS REDUCED TO ASHES.
During the latter part of September First Comp
roller Porter. of the Treasury Department. was en-
gagged in the examination OF quantity Of ashes al-
legged to represent several thousand dollars worth OF
United States bonds which had been accidentally de-
stroyed. the being the property of gentleman
in Illinois. who had applied to the Treasury De-
partment to have duplicates issued. 1t re-
ported that the coupons had been detached from
the bonds. which. according to law prevents re-
issue. Since then, however, it has been discov-
cred that the coupons were not detached from
portion of the bonds previous to their being
burned. and duplicates. therefore, will be issued.
Within the past few days very similar to the
one above mentioned has been decided by the First
Comptroller in which a considerable sum Of money
is involved. The bonds in this case belonged to
lady in Missouri, and had been baked in the Of
stove. They found to be genuine United
States bonds. represented by the applicant. and
duplicates were issued after but little delay.

Elliott not minded his fierce dash and tried to do
the same he would have made better work Of II.
than to be hurried, and viii not be disturbed by
rwEsrY-EIeHr THE MINUTE ONLY.
One thing you do observe very plainly. Courtney
isn't doing any of his old thirty and more
strokes to the minute, but has hit on what is
evidently far more staying stroke and better one
for his great size ana strength II is very doubtful
if he will average in this race over twenty
eight strokes a minute, and he only did
Lake. He said then that he could go faster at
twenty eight than at more TO the minute, and it
they say. rushed away in the Elliott at over
forty to the minute, but it is than
probable that he clipped them not little.
rs did the British professionals and amateurs in
their spurts at the Centennial In short. Court
ney is likely to row the slower stroke and hence the
steadier and more even. though all this talk about
work on as he ought is only talk
the Courtney of to-day than he had in the Courtney
Of October year ago. Both men renew their
shape to do it, and this is really all
that should be asked. That one can outrow tho
other is sure; 10 have him do that now. and do it
in manner beyond all cavil, is the purpose of this
race Having done 1t. whoever the vanquish he'd may
be. 1t Is to be earnestly hoped that these cries Of
until there is solid ground on which to base
them. One such crucifying Of an innocent man
should certainly be enough, and il that is
to increase the burden which gives him such
startled. hunted look all the time; but should he
win not the least soace he will get the worst to
have. will be still another $4,000. which says
wealthy friend has promised him in such event.

An event has just occurred Of great importance to

WASHINGTON.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON. Oct. Is, 1879.
COMING CHANGES IN FINANCIAL LEGIsLA-
TIoN-DEcLINING POWER or THE RAG BABY
SUPPORTERS.
1t is generally conceded by the democratic polti-
clans here Washington that the prospects of the
greenbackers at the coming session Of Congress will
be very poor in influencing financial legislation.
Under the head of greenbackers included both
republicans and democrats who have heretofore
voted in favor of financial heresies. and the opinion
is expressed that the disastrous defeat in Ohio will
renew party lines on all questions OF monetary
character The Warner Silver bill. which threatened
at one time reorg anizaton of Senate Committee
on Finance will probably be allowed to rest
in the desk of the chairman. Senator Bayard. ana
1t is thought there will be effort
made to force it out of the committee by the advo
Gates in the Senate of unlimited coinage The -eer-
tainty of Ohio electng republican Senator to sue
ceed Senator Thurman revives the statements here
tofore made that. with republican success in Con-
necticut. New York. Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
the democrats will not have q working majority
in the Senate its reorganization in 1881. and with
the prospect also of republican House in the next
Congress the hard money democrats will not be
willing to sacrifice iota Of their convictions
to any demand made Dy the extreme advocates or
new legislation on financial questions. prom
inent democratic politician said last night
when it was known how Ohio had gone that it was
most insane act for General Ewing to handicap him
self with the issues he espoused. and the the
democracy recognized the live issues and con-
formed to the demands of the times the more rea-
sonabe would be the hope OF achieving victory
next year.
SENATOR INGALLS, OPINION OF HIS OWN CASE.
Senator ingalls,. of Kansas. who is here private
business. says he is confident that the recent in
vestigation of alleged bribery his part to secure
his reelection to the Senate will result in his
quittal the charge and that the committee with
out dissent will report that it groundless. He
says the investigation was very thorough and the
labors of the committee directed to ascertain
ing all the facts.
SPEAKER RANDALL AT THE CAPITAL.
Speaker Randall. who has been here for few days.

Washington was made necessary by the recent
