Superintendent DAVIS, of the New
Orleans mint, reports to the treasury de-
partment that he will, during the move
ment of the cotton and sugar cane crop,
put out from New Orleans eight or ten
millions of standard silver dollars. The
annual demand for silver dollars is
thought to be about to commence, to be
followed inevitably by backward flow
of the cc1n into the treasury vaults. The
treasury department has not purchased
the full amount of silver bullion required
by law for coming into dollars for several
weeks. The cause of this is the high
prices which have been placed on bullion
by dealers, rendered its purchase lmprac-
ticable.

The voluminous record of the court mar
tial has to be gone over by Gen. Swaine,
| Judge advocate general, and reported upto
The President. Gen. Swaine will not be
able to give it his attention until the Pres
ident is out of danger. There will thus
necessarily be long delay, even before
the case is ready to go to the President Of
course there will be more delay before the
President can act on it. Meantime Whita-
ker will remain in the army as cadet,
though it is almost an open fact, that the
| verdict of the court martial is that he
should be dismissed from the service.
Ex-Treasury Agent Bissell was at the
treasury department to-day. He saw Sec
retary Window and told him that the
letter which threatened the secretary's
l liz IL LdU1luCI was hO0 1OAlO ", p" es.'
not written by him. He added he would
not shoot any man for an office. He also
said he was convinced that the alleged
threatening letter was got up and written
inside the treasury department. While
Bissell was in the secretary's room quite
crowd of clerks gathered in the corri-
dor in that vicinity. When he came out
he said: "They must think am penny
show" Secret service men are enquiring

an early arrest of Bissell, on the charge
/ of sending threatening matter through
the mail Bissell was formerly special
agent of the department.
