ure was given by G. A. Gilbert on claims Of

sral wealthy men of Bangor, B. B. Thatcher,
A. H. Thaxter, the Stricklands, G. e. Hill

should have drawn according to the terms OF
its agreement. AS to the amount of bonds still
technically outstanding, the transactions in
London, not yet officially reported to the
Treasury, explain about 81 100000 of the dis
crepancy between official and other statements,
1t may as we'll be observed that the amount OF
called bonds reported as technically outstahu-
ing largely exceeds the amount really not re-
deemed and not in the hands OF the treasury
A moments consideration OF the nature OF the
clerical work necessary. in several distinct
Offices in the redemption and canceIiatlon Oh
bonds will show that it is not possible Tor a
debt statement to take full account OF all bonds
actually in the hands of the Treasury or its
agents. and undergoing the processes OF trans
mission, examination and payment.
There has been an increase during the
month of 81 ,66G $50 in the four per cent. bonds
outstanding, and q decrease of 81 COL 500 IN
the refunding certificates; otherwise. the
principal of the Understanding debt IS not
changed. No change appears, of course, III the
legal-tenders, and only $33 in the OLD demand
notes, while only S52, 1887 in tractlonal cur
rency has been redeemed during the month.
There is an increase of 1884 600 i'll the gold and
silver certificates outstanding, due, of course,
to q larger use of the silver notes, but the GER
tifcates of deposit of legal tenders decrease
ST, 1861 600 AS the demand for notes to be
used in moving the crops increases, this eX-
without affecting the real position either OF
the banks or of the Treasury.
1t is noticed that the payments during the
month on account of indians and pensions,
were unusually large, namely, S9,S47 ,Oo9 Is
and the passage of the Arrears OF Pensions Dill
by Congress has caused this large depletion OF
tile Treasury 1t happens not unfortunately
however at this time that the treasury Is
obliged by an unwise act of Congress to pay
out some of the money which has been unmec-
essarily withdrawn from the market on bond
account. and the fund SO paid will quickly flow
back into the channels of trade. The cash bal
ance available for redemption of United States
notes, after deducting all other cash obliga-
tions, is S142, 439,67S.72, but much larger
amount, it will be understood, is practically
available as reserve for the maintenance OF
redemption.
The debt statement shows that holders OF
about S30,000,000 of called bonds (after deduct
ing reported payments in London) have still
failed to make any new investment of their
funds and the amount of ten-forties remaining
on deposit for the circulation OF National
banks is still about S10,000,000. 1t is probable
that considerable amount of these bonds will
remain outstanding, in the hands OF private
holders and on deposit for the banks, some
time longer, but the statement makes 1t cleal
that the final settlement of the loan accounts
cannot occasion any inconvenience or stringen
CIV in the markets, if the Treasury adheres tt
the judicious course promised when subscrp

A SWEEPING REPUBLICAN
VICTORY.
The Whole Republican. State
Ticket Elected.
ALL FOUR CONGRESSMAN PROBABLY
REPUBLICAN.
Kalloch Chosen Mayor of San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Scattering returns
from all the counties except few not IN tele-
graphic connection. give Perkins (Rep.) 400;
Glen Dem.) 1858; White Work. 253I. THESE
returns are mostly from small towns OF the
precincts and include but very few votes of
the large interior towns. 1t is generally adj
mitted that Perkins is elected by handsome
plurality. The workingmen have probably
elected Morrison Chief Justice, he being en-
dorsed by the Democrats. They are also like
ly to elect MeKinstry, Mckee, Thornton and
Ross, who were also Endorsed by the Demo-
Gratis and have probably also received many
Republican votes. Stoneman, who is on all
the tickets except the Republican, for Rail
road Commissioner, is elected. The Republic
cans probably elected Cone and Phelps from
the northern and city district. With above
exceptions the Republicans have undoubtedly
elected the whole State ticket and probably
four Congressman, though the Third District is
doubtful.
sECoND DISPATCH.
Additional returns mainly from minor in
terror precincts give Perkins 1927, Glenn 60Oo,
White 1852. These are complete returns. In
complete returns received indicate still further
Republican gains. Counting is progressing
slowly in the city and indicates no relative
change from the last report.
THIRD DISPATCH.
At2p. NJ nearly one-thrd of the city votes
had been counted with the following result:
White O2I1; Glenn lZof; GefklnS QUO, I1dIloCh
$3.50; Griswold $50; Flint 6247. This probably
represents fair average of the whole vote.
FOURTH DESPATCH.
Up to 6 o'clock this evening the returns
from the precincts in the interior in which the
count is complete stand as follows: Perkins
1866, Glenn 15,72S, White 10,13S These
figures include returns from all counties ex-
cept half dozen small outlying ones, and
comprise two-fifths of the total vote outside the
city The large towns of Oakland Sacrament
to, Stockton Los Angeles, San Jose and many
others are not included, the count there being
still incomplete. Reports received from most
of them, however are to the following effect:
San Jose 250 plurality for Perkins; Oakland
over 1000 plurality; Sacramento 1900; Los An
gelos White leads with Perkins and Glenn
even and not far behind All the returns to
date emphasize the previous report that
the Republicans have elected the entire state
ticket by plurality of probably not less than
1900. Page and Pasheco are elected to Con-
gress and probably McKenna also. The con-
test between Davis and Barbour is doubtful.
Kallock for mayor retains a slight lead over
Flint, and the probilities as to the remainder
of the city ticket are unchanged from the
previous advices. 1t is possible the Working
men elect some of the supervisors and school
directors, but nothing is definite. Advices re-
garding the legislature seem to indicate a
Republican majority.
FIFTH DISPATCH.
Latest returns in this city, Perkins 1858:
White 7445; Glenn 1881; Kalloch S2S6 Flint
1889; Griswold 1863.

LYNCH Law in California.

SAN Francisco, Sept. A despatch from
Ukiah, Mendocino county, states that Elijah
Frost, Bige Gibson, and Tom McCracken were
taken from constable at Willeti last night
and hung by mob. These men were under
arrest for the larceny of q saddle and some
harness. Rumor has it that many things have
been missing lately, and these parties were
suspected. Elijah Frost was a son of the
Elijah Frost who was killed some years ago in
a shooting scrape with the Coats boys. He
has been out of prison about eight months
having been sent there from Red Bluff fol
horse stealing.
