Dangerous Counierfei,s.

The Controller Of the Currency has de-
cided not 20 withdraw from circulation the
one hundred dollar national bank notes. a.
he contemplated doing on account Of the
extensive oounterfei,ing Of this denomina-
ton but he warns persons not 70 receive
notes Of this size purported to have been
issued by either Of the following banks
viz: National Revere Bank. Boston; Pitts
burg National Bank. Pittsburg. Pa Ne
ehanies' National Bank. New Bedford.

Mass; National Exchange Bank Of Bal,i-
more, Nd.
An Exchange saws: at j. supposed that
these counierfeits are the work Of the noto-
nous Charles Clrich, German engrayer Of
great skill, who served 10 years in the Col
umbus Peniteniiary for eounterfeiting one
hundred-dollar bank notes in 1896 A.
soon a. he got out he resumed the practice
of his unlawful profession. and in 1873
large number of counterfeIts of American
one hundred dollar bank notes appeared in
Europe. where they were bought by Ham
burg bankers and passed 10 emigrants be-
fore their character was discovered. These
emigrants brought them To this country,
and some were arrested in Pennsy Is ania for
passing them. Two Americans were arrested
in Vienna and convicted Of having sold the
notes to the bankers. Ii was believed that
Ulrich had made the plate. and detectives
we're sent in search Of him. He was found
in New Jersey and the plate was found in
his Possession. His evidence was used in
the prosecution Of the men sho had furnish
ed the capital for the work and he was re-
leased, subjec; TO rearrest and sentence if he
should again break the law. Cole, one Of
his accomplices, is now serving term Of 10
years for having furnished him with paper.
The records of the Secret Service Depart
meni show that over 800 persons have been
convicted Of having passed notes made from
Ulrich's plate. l, is believed tina; Ulrich,
when arrested, surrendered only the original
plate and retained eleetrotypes from it and
that the counterfeits now in circulation were
made from these elecirstypes. The bogus
notes have the same ground work as the old
ones and differ only in the names Of the
banks

Cleveland Leader of the 18th saws:
We have watched our Democratic ex-
changes and carefully searched for the prin-
ciples that General Hancock carries in his
saddle valise. The result Of our search can
be sumed up as follows:
On the subject Of the currency. he is a
magnihcen, looking fellow.
On the subject Of the tariff he is splen-
did soldier.
on the subject of free trade he wears a
brilliant uniform.
On the subject of river and harbor i'm
provements he makes grand appearance on
horseback
On State rights he appears well in his
epaule,s and brass buttons
On civil service reform he has fine mill
tary bearing.
On the SO called reform in the admins
,raiion Of the Government he is modern
Murai-
On the Indian question he is the finest
looking Indian fighter the country ever pro-
duced, notwithstanding that for every Indian
he killed. il cost the Government - 800 900
On the subject Of hanging Mrs. Surratt
he hung her in a soldierlike manner but he
would rather nothing be said about IT.
On the Southern question he behaved
like a gallant soldier. and made himself
popular with every Ku-Klux, White Liner,
bulldozer and ballot box suffer
On the subject Of our foreign relations he
wears splendid moustache.
On the school question he is a handsome
looking man.
On all other questions of public policy he
has a martial bearing.
In some respects he resembles JEFF. Davis,
the only difference being that he wears a
corset, while JEFF wore petticoat.

Won't Desert.

The old soldiers who followed Gen. Plais-
ted during the war, will no more follow him
into the Democratic party now than they
would have followed him into the rebel
camp then. The principles they fought for
they viii vote for. The man who served
his country faithfully in that critical period
bought his education in the principles Of a
free government and national supremacy
too dearly TO throw them away now and
follow an officer, who, blinded by the hope
Of reward, has proved recreant to the cause
he then upheld and has gone over to the
enemy.
The bounty jumpers and those who
sought the salubrious climate Of Canada to
avoid the draft, together with the copper
heads Who cheered over rebel victories and
were sad over rebel defeats, will not be
genial comrades to the soldiers who stood
before rebel guns and risked their lives for
the salvation Of their country. And Yet,
this is the main portion Of the army that
will follow Gen. Plsisted this fall
