iBY rRi sGRAPH To THE TRIBUSE
WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-The appendix TO The an
nual report of the Controller of the Currency con-
tains a table winch will be of interest III connection
with the Refuuding bill. 1t furnishes the basis for
calculation of the probable contraction OF the
currency which the refuDding now under
discussion will cause. The table shows that the
banks of New-England may increase their cIrcula-
ton. whenever they find it profitable to do So
eighteen and half millions of dollars. Those of
the Middle States may increase more than thirty
millions. The South may have three millions more.
the West sixteen millions, and the Pacific States
nearly and half millions.
The total authorized rcuaton of National banks
Is 1901 .0S7, ,7T9 but the actual amount taken by
the banks is only S321 1868, 400 leaving
SG971s.379 uncaled for. The lowest interest now
paid to the banks upon their depo its 10 cir
culation is 4 per cent. The proposition made, how
ever, TO compel the Dauks. fast their pres sent
property in bonds is disposed Of either by sale by

the investment in four per cents suffice lty profit

how much less III amount Will they take when the

Tomorrow will be the third Monday in the month,
ard therefore, under the rules of the House of
Representatives., motions TO suspend the rules and
pass bills reported by committees will be in order.
As every one of the leading committees has a num-
Der of important bills the calendar it is probable
that the time II the House Tomorrow will be
pied by committees in endeavOring to secure action
some of the more important aud pressing
approved by them. 1t is hardly to be expected.
therefore, that the Refunding bill will be considered
tomorrow by the House If such should be the case,
and the Senate should agree to adjourn Wcdnes-
day for the holidays. the Refundn0 bill will prob
ably not be sent to the Senate before January

Mrs. WINsLow's SOOTHING SYRup.-Rev
Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the Boston
Christian Freeman - We would by no
means recommend any kind of medicine
which we did not know to be good-par-
ticularly for infants. But of Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup we can speak from
knowledge; in our own family 1t has proved
blessing indeed, by giving an infant
troubled with colo, pains, quiet sleep, and
the parents unbroken rest at night Most
parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works to pcrfec-
ton, and which is harmless; for the sleep
which it affords the infant is perfectly nat

and inspired with desire 10 do nothing
unwise, on the eve of victory. II the Dem
ocratic party is careful, and makes no mis-
take, the next president will be a Demo
crat. There is an abundance Of good ma
terial. men who are known to the people,
and who would make acceptable candi-
dates, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the Cincinnati convention will select
the best man in the party, and not allow
personal ambition to guide them in the
choice. What the Democrats need is COM
pact organization. This is being effected
rapidly, and before the campaign is fairly
opened, there will be Democratic club In
every voting precinct in the country. The
effect of such organization can not be light
ly estimated. With good organization, the
vote is always brought out. and greater
degree of harmony and confidence pre-
walls. If the Cincinnati convention makes
no mistake, and the Democrats are organ
lied, success is as certain as anything can
be. Let us not be over-confdent because
of the dissensions IN the ranks of our Re-
publican opponents, but work together har-
moniously and unitedly for success.

THE MASSAC CONVENTION.
Metropolis Democrat.


The Democratic convention held at the
court house last Friday was gathering of
which the Democrats Of the county might
well be proud especially when comparison
was drawn between it and the Republican
convention at the same place few days
since. The Democratic convention was
composed almost exclusively Of white men,
while the other was divided as il is said
the sheep and goats will be in the latter
day, viz: colored men on one side Of the
hall and white men all on the other with
clothes-pins on their noses. OF a truth,
the Radicals are not good mixers when it
comes to adding the color. But we have
digressed, and will return by saying that
the proceedings Of the Democratic conven.
ton were in the highest degree orderly and
decorous, but marked with exceeding earn.

The names Of Tilden, Morrison and Sey.

ANANECDOTE OF AGASSIZ.

A correspondent of the London Nature
in writing of Harvard, and Of the devotion
of Prof. Agassiz to that college, says;
ut is delightful to hear in general con-
yersation in Boston spontaneous recogni-
tions of Agassizs eminent services. Many
stories are current of his inGomitable cOur-
age in carrying out schemes for the ad-
vancement of his tsvorite studies, Of his
consummate address, which enabled him 10
win over into active assistance men who
were disposed TO be inditfernt, if not hos
tile.
One interesting anecdote is told Of a din,
ner party at which he was present, when
Mr.. 1icknor gave al account Of an early
meeting of the British association.
At the geological section there had been
paper on fossil fishes, and, said M. Tick
nor, one speaker who evidently knew The
subject profoundly, proceeded to show the
audience the characters of the types Of an
Gent fishes, and remarked that he had no
doubt that a specimen would yet be dis.
covered exhibiting certain structure
which he illustrated by a drawing on the
board.
Hutchinson, who was in the chair, there,
upon pulled out from drawer specimen
which had just come up from Scotland, and
had not yet been exhibited II completely
bore out the procnostication. Agassiz had
been listening TO the tale with undisguised
interest, and when Mr.. Ticknor turned
round and pointing to him SAID, There is
the man, be started up flushed with excite.
ment and exclaimed, 1t was the proudest
moment of my life Such anecdotes affcc.
tionately preserved show how he lives in the
memory Of the community he stroye so
earnestly TO Uenft."
