CHICAGO, June 26.-The Times says /:
The Treasury authorities are in a cave Of
gloom because the only original cheap
money people, the counterfeiters, are pro-
ducing in large numbers greenbacks and
National bank notes which defy detection /;
indeed, the sole difference between the boz
gus and genuine is that the former are
more artistic and in many respects better
specimens of the engraver's skill. The
500 counterfeits now in circulation are so
perfect that many experts have been de-
ceived by them, and they nave been ioated
so adroitly that the Secret Service officers
have not been able to obtain the slightest
clue as to the authors. 1t is proposed to
call in all 500 bills, and to ask Congress
next winter to authorize a new issue Of
bank and Treasury notes.
The great Sunday School celebration in
this city to-day, in commemoration of the
hundredth anniversary of the original es-
adjustment of Sunday Schools by Robert

The Times Galena special says: Is is not
true that General Grant has declared his
intention of supporting Hancock. The re-
port doubtless grew out of the many favor
able comments he has made on the action
Of the Cincinnati Convention. He does
not hesitate to say that in his opinion the
Democrats have in General Hancock nom-
mated their strongest man for the Office Of
President, and that neither his public nor
private character can be successfully as
sailed. This is the substance of the ex-
Presidents public statement on that SUBJ
ject.
A Journal Washington special says: The
Democratic report that General Grant had
signiied his intention of voting for Han
cock is singularly infelicitous, as it is well
known among army officers that General
Grant has had a decided aversion to Gen.
eral Hancock ever since they were together
in Mexico, and probably the Democrats
could not have accepted a nominee that
could have been more unsatisfactory to
Grant. Indeed. the Democratic press a
long time ago specifically charged that
Grant made and abolished military depart
ments for the purpose of dlsplacing Han
cock.
GALENA, June 26.-General Grant and
family leave for Chicago early next week.
He %pronounces the statement that he would
support Hancock, as malicious and false in
every respect.

The Herald says that Mr.. Tilden yester-
day afternoon said to q Herald reporter, to
whom he was speaking about politics: 81
