JONATHAN ARNOLD, a wealthy landowner of

such was not the case. She remained loyal to

THE NATIONAL BANKS.
Judge Payson's Scheme to Get Along
Without them-.-A Currency
of Bullion Certificates.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 9.-Judge Payson
says it will be of no use for Comptroller
Knox to renew his recommendation that a
provision for the maintenance of the national
bank circulation be made by redeeming the
per cents at premium of Is per cent, and
the issue in their place of long 3 per cents.
Congress will never consent to redeem any
bonds at premium. His idea is that, as the
government is not now under the necessity
of creating market for its bonds, it has no
need Of the national banks; and that, if a
paper currency equally good can be provided
to take the place of the national bank
notes, the national banking system
should be allowed to die out by
degrees. Such currency as is desired, he
thinks can be provided by authorizing the
issue of certificates on the deposit of bullion
of the standard fineness. Of course, this in
wolves the question of bimetallism, but he be-
Gevos that this country is certain to adhere
to silver as metal for coin for the present
generation and the next He assumes that
the country will not demonetize silver again,
and that the people, except in some portions
of the south, where "jingle" currency is
preferred, do not want to handle anything
but paper money, always assuming that the
paper money is good. These proposed GER
tltcates of the deposit of either precious
metal would be perfectly secured, as
there would be a dollars worth of gold
or silver for every paper promise to
pay dollar. The public conven-
fence would be served, for they would OBJ
viate the necessity OF handling coin, and there
would he a saving in the cost of coinage. For |
purposes of export, mint bars are, if any
thing. a little better than coin, 50 that the
mint might also be dispensed with. Judge |
Payson thinks the coin certificates would
soon be abundant enough to replace the ma
tional bank notes, and the transition would |
be a gradual one. This plan could not be OBJ
jected to by the hard-money men, nor by |
those who object to a further issue of a credit
currency by the government. At the same
time it could not fail to meet the approval of
the opponents of the national banks, and
every champion of silver would favor it.

Why an Officer Must not Marry His

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 9.-Some surprise

ing woman whom he ought to have mar.
ried good while before. When he marries
an Objectionable woman he brings her h
his quarters, where she cannot be ignored,
as might easily be done in civil De, anG
the only way of protecting the fami
lies of the other officers from undesira
BILE society is to get the womans hus
band out of the army. While an exact pre-.
cedent for the present case is not recalled, it
is remembered that an officer on the retired
list who recently committed suicide in Balti-
more was retired on account of his intemper-
ance and his marriage with disreputable
woman. 1t may be thought that retirement
is light penalty for habitual drunkenness;
but in view of the amount of the executive
clemency that has of late years been exer
cised in favor of disgraced officers, it may
have been deemed the most reliable way Of
getting the culprit out of the society of re-
spectacle officers
