The Treasury Department is in receipt OF
letters from the West complaining of the
scarcity of notes of small denominations, and
asking that a supply OF such notes be sent to

pay them out in exchange for notes of larger
denominations. The Assistant Treasurers,
with their limited clerical force, cannot un.
dertake to exchange one denomination for an.
other, but the Treasurer Of the United States
will furnish new notes of such denominations
as may be desired in return for bankers
drafts in New York, and will transmit them
as applicants may indicate, but without risk or
expense to the Government.

The Republican Party.

The Republican party must from this
time forth wage an aggressive warfare,
such as it did from 1860 to 1865, for il
has nothing to defend but the National
welfare, and that can be done more sue
cessfully by aggressiveness toward the
common enemy than in any other way.
Its cause is just, and now let It's line of
battle be wisely and judiciously planned,
and its forces be pressed on to victory
in every State throughout the North
and West. The South is given over to
oppression, outlawry and crime, and
Republicanism has little to hope for
from that quarter. For season intim-
idation and awe accomplished mischiev-
Gus and even dire consequences to Re-
publicanism and to the Nation. The
enemy took advantage of this unfortu-
nate condition of things, and went
through the land shrieking fraud and
corruption, with hypocrisy becoming
the author Of sin, until liberaland cred
ulous men were deceived, intimidated
and swerved from their political pro-
priety.
Time, reason and experience, how
ever, are working a cure. The false
uOOuSi JIlS bIlChSIJ anu Illo ny pOcIlSg
of the Democratic party have at last
been exposed, and the truth is begin
ming to break with force upon the pub
lie mind. The Republican party is
rapidly rising with the emergency to a
mastery of the situation. 1t is arous-
ing everywhere throughout the country
to high sense of duty and to an asser-
ton of its Legitimate power. The rebel
brigadier, the champion of States
rights, the blatant demagogue, the
knave, the communist, the hypocrite
and the murderer each and all have
enlisted on the Democratic side, but in
spite of all these combined the Re-
publicans will soon enter once more
upon full and entire rule of the Gov
ernment in all its departments. The
people-that is the loyal men of the Ma
tion, and they are in large majority
are not prepared to entrust the destinies
of the Republic to the hands of those
who have pledged their lives and their
fortunes, to say nothing of their sacred
honors, to destroy it. They are be-
ginning TO understand the hypocrisies,
sophistries and deceptiOns practiced by
the Democrats, and are nerving them
selves for the contest which is TO decide
the future of this imperiled Nation.
Democracy must be put where it can
inilict no harm, and every Republican
energy must be concentrated toward

Death of a Female Blacksmith.

RACHEL VENT, who was buried on
Monday afternoon from the residence
of her niece, Mrs. Dora Remschneider,
No. % North Spring street, Baltimore,
had for many years worked at the forge
and anvil. Her father, George Yent,
came to this country from Germany and
opened blacksmith shop on Britton
street, afterwards removing to Eden
street, near McElderry. She learned
the trade in her girlhood and became as
good hand as any man could be- AS
her father broke down and grew old she
took control of the shop and supported
the family by her own labor. She wore
tight-fitting woolen dress and black
smiths leather apron, and frequently
smoked short clay pipe as she toiled.
When the old man died she still stuck
to the trade, but few months ago she
grew enfeebled and rapidly sunk. Her
work had given her in her best days the
muscular strength of man. She had
eligible offers when young, but she
always refused to marry, preferring tc
remain single and provide for the fam,

The Louisville Negroes Woman Banker.

One of the cOlored characters of the
city, Fanny Kennedy, or "O Old Aunt
Fanny" as she was generally known,
was buried in the Eastern Cemetery
yesterday. Fanny had great power
over large portion of the colored pop
ulation of this city, and at one time she
was known as the " Queen of the Ne
groes." Foryears she acted rs banker
for hundreds of them. She was saving
and Industrious herself, and succeeded
in amasslng quite snug amount of
property. Whenever any of the me-
groes over whom Aunt Fanny exerted
her influence got into trouble, she was
sent for. If advice was not sufficient,
she would always give more solid aid.
She never failed TO go ON the bonds of
her subjects, if bond was required, and
her name as surety appears as often AS
any other on the records of the courts.
1t used to be the remark about the City
Court, when Aunt Fanny became bound
for any ones appearance, You may
be sure he will be on hand, and Old
Aunt Fanny will be with him." For
several years she had been in bad
health, and lost considerable part of
what she had saved. Aunt Fanny was
born in Garrard County, in the Spring
of 1887, and was in. her ninety-third
year at the time of her death. She was
the slave of Colonel Crunshaw, but pur-
chasing her freedom and that of her
children in 1929, she removed 10 this
city.-LOuiSUiiI Poet, Sept. IS.

DrED.-Mr. George Martin, at his
home in Point Pleasant, at u o'clock,
Thursday, January %, 1879, aged 40
years.
Req,iesoat in pace.
The subject of the above notice was
known to most of the citizens of our
county, and expressions of sorrow at
sthe untimely demise of Mr.. Martin,
.and sympathy for the widow. who
with a watchful eye cared for George
through protracted illness, are
heard from every quarter. Mr.. Mar.
4 Pin, in the year 1873 obtained a Ii.
1cense to practice law; and one of the
Judicial luminaries, whose autograph
his license bears, once remarked to the
writer of this article that, "His ex.
Elimination as a candidate for legal
slaurels, was one upon which it afford.
led a Judge pleasure toaward a license
TO practice law" Mr.. Martin was
possessed of talent adapted to his
chosen profession, and if he had been
blessed with the health that the la.
bors of that profession requires, he
would have attained marked prom.
3inence among his brother attorneys.
George had a multitude of friends, of
(which the immense gathering around
ibis grave, at his burial was evidence.
As friend he was steadfastand true,
kind to the poor, and free from NAL
! ice he was solicitous for the welfare
3of all. Truly our world would be a
better one, if more of its inhabitants
were like Geo. Martin.
Mr.. Martins walk down to the
tomb, was smoothed by the attention
and lasting love of an exemplary
wife, and now in the hour, when
sorrow and bereavement pinches her
heart, we extend sincere sympathy.
The God who has special providences
for the widow and orphan, will pre-.
serve her reward.

Sunday School Hymns, which she
learned, not only the tunes but the
words, also, by hearing them sung,
sometimes not oftener than once or
twice.
At Sabbath School, she would
stand by the Organ and sing so as to

land so correctly that, though many
would laugh to see so small child

leader said, "let her sing"
One Of her favorite pieces was,

And with the angels stand,

bereaved mourn their loss, Mary is
realizing her wish, so often and so
