The national banks object TO the new
Funding bill for the reason that 1t viii
compel them to exchange the bonds
they now hold to secure their circula-
ton, which draw and 6 per cent. IN
terest. for the new bonds that draw but
3 per cent, thus entailing a loss upon
them of the difference of interest.
They regard it something in the nature
of forced loan and the bankers think
that congress has taken an unfair adj
vantage of them, and that some favor
should be extended to them in the way
of compensation, such as relieving them
of the tax on deposits. Many of the
New York bankers. who probably re-
fleet the sentiment of the bankers Of
the whole country are of the opinion
that the new 3 per cents. cannot be
fioated-the wish probably being father
the thought-but Secretary Sher-
man is Of a contrary opinion, and re-
minds the bankers that the same cn-
favorable prediction was made in refer
ence to the per cent. bonds, which
went off .like hot cakes.
It is thought that a systematic at
tempt may be made to throw wet
blanket upon the new bonds, and EN-
barras the new secretary Of the trea-
sury. whoever ne may be, unless com
gress makes some concession 70 the

Col. HERCULES HADLEY, whose name
got into print in undesirable connec-
ton with the Morey letter infamy, is
out in a card to the newspapers IN
which he denies that he ever heard of
the letter until after its publication, and
in proof of his good faith suggests that
a reward Of s., 500 to $4,000 be offered
for the discovery of the perpetrator of
the forgery, together with guarantee
of Immunity from punishment-such
immunity or reward not to be given to
Hadley himself or to any member or
agent of the national democratic COM
mittee. With the fear of punishment
removed, and the additional induce
ment of a large reward, it is probable
that some confessions and disclosures
would be promptly forthcoming.
