WASHINGTON, October 2l.-Iu reply to
the question why the Treasury does not
use its accommodating silver and gold to
liquidate the United States bonds matured
or which may be paid at the option of the

says that under the redemption act there
was an accumulating fund for the re.
demption Of outstanding legal tenders Of
about Sl40. 100000, being about 40 per
cent. OF the amount OF notes outstanding
redeemable on demand from that fupd,

to this it is necessary 10 have small bal.

expenses OF the Government, thus making
the total amount OF available cash 10 the
Treasury about sl55, ,00O, 900, though OF
course this amount varies with the
receipts aud expenditures Of the Gov
ernment, which temporarily increase
or diminish. Beyond that amount, how
ever, there has been no permanent &C.
cumulation OF money in the Treasury. 10
fact the available balance to-day Is little
less than that OF a year ago. All excess
OF the receipts over the expenditures dur

BALTIMORE, October 20.-The American
thus treats the Hampton correspondence;
"In reply to the courteous letter Of Sec
retary Sherman by an invitation to chal
leuge, Wade Hampton has been guilty Of
strange imprudence, to ocall 1t by no hsrsher
name. 1t can be construed as nothing
more than the menace OF a duel. For
General Hampton represents State where
the duel is still an institution, as was re.
Gently shown in the refusal to try Colonel
Cash, a man who 10 the most deliberate
and cold blooded way forced an old lawyer
into a duel and murdered him living
thus in State where public opinion
formed upon the code is more potent
than the law against homicide, General
Hampton meant to threaten duel when
he wrote TO Secretary Sherman, in effect:
"You lie. My address is Columbia,
South Carolina"
In that State such Language "calls for
blood" He who does not send a chsl.
lenge in reply to such words Is held to be
coward and poltroon, and this Is the
stigma which General Wade Hampton in.
tended and desired to place upon Secre'
tary Sherman.
Looked tirom Democratic point OF
view no more disastrous blunder could
have been made. 1t must have struck
even brave General Hancock with CON
sternation as he read 1t. II there had

Geo. A. Wheeler went to the police station
and confessed that he had murdered his
sister.in.law, Della ]. Tellson, at his lodg-
ing house, % Kearney street, and packed
her body in trunk. His statement was

remarkable. Deceased had been living
with her sister, and Wheeler, and the latter
had subjected her to his dealres, hiI wife
being cognizAnt OF the fact, but concealed
the affair to avoid scandal. A man by the
name OF George W. Peckham, who became
acquainted with the family some time ago,
at Cisco, Placer county, sought to marry
Della. This created Jealousy on the part
OF Wheeler, who, yesterday, while Della
was sitting in his lap, choked her TO death.
