LincOln's physicians Oh Twenty-siXth
street, and learned that they had in
formed Representative Springer that
she was suffering from chronic infiam
nation of the spinal cord, chronic dis

The Sandusky Register (Rep.) thus
expresses its opinion of Ohio's tall
Senator:
1--WE do not believe John Sherman
to be an honest man. We have, what
to us is abundant proof that he is not; /;
yet we may be mistaken.
The GAINESVILLE Courier (Rep.) don't
seem to have the most implicit faith in
the honesty of the great financIer, for
it says of him:
"The outlook for Senator Sherman
is squally, it is true, as reported, that
w. +. Brown, foreman of the cabinet
workshop Of the Treasury Department,
in his testimony yesterday gave dates,
kinds Of work done on Senator Sher-
mans new house and stable, and
showed that it had been charged to
different bureaus of the Department.
The people will settle with John Sher-
man and retire him to private life un-
less he can show a clear balance"

the court house, town of Wentworth,
Rockingham county, three colored
people, namely, Joe Hay, Eldridge

badly done.

THE st. Louis Globe-Democrat(Re Rep
figures it out for Mr.. Hayes in this
way: "Mr. Hayes pretends that he
saved nothing Of the salary-by many
alleged to have belonged to Samuel J.
TIlden-which he drew monthly in
advance, and therefore in violation of
law, to the amount of $780, 200. Then
he must have lost it at poker or some
other game. He never spent SIC, 900 a
year for keeping up the White House.
When the cost of living was at least
twice what it is now, Mr.. Lincoln
maintained the White House in excel
lent style, and saved $4,000 in four
years on a salary just half that received
by Mr.. Hayes.o

The Exp,r,nr rNattoual nanks.

There is much doubt as to the prop
er course to be pursued ip regard to
National Banks whose charters are
about to expire. Bills have been pre-
pared by Comptroller Knox and are
pending in both houses Of Congress, to
enable these institutions to extend
their corporate existence, but much
doubt is expressed as to their passage.
Senator Sherman is of the opinion that
the extension of their charters is not
the best way to perpetuate the Nation
al Banks, but that it would be far bet
ter for them to wind up their affairs
before their charters expire and reor-
ganize under new names; this would
obviate the necessity for legislation,
and would be the most simple and
satisfactory method of continuing their
existence. In regard to the objection
that his plan would embarrass execu-
tors and trustees whose trust funds are
invested in National. Bank stock, Mr..
Sherman says: That does not apply
with half the force to this plan as it
does to the proposed extensions. The
executor or trustee under the plan I
favor would be able to reinvest his
trust funds Immediately after the af-
fairs of the bank in whose stock they
had been Invested We're wound up. In
the case of an extension there would
be grave legal question as to the au-
thority of the trustee to continue the
old Investment I'm the new bank"
