A Kentucky Incident.

Near Lexington, KY, in the heart
of the blue grass region, there is a
beautiful farm owned by two old
people far past the meridian of life.
They have no children. Old age has
dealt gently with them, as it does cv-
er with the posscssors of gentle dis
position. They are revorcnccd by
the young and respected and love-
by the older members of the com.
munity in which they live.
The farm is productive and has
brought them wealth. Around them
are all The necessarics, and many oI
the luxuries of life. Their stock Of
horses, cattle, and sheep are fine and
well managed. The poultry and
eggs arc abundant, and the fresh
milk and butter are luxuries. The
garden is what only Kentucky gar
den can be-luxuriant, and growing
beneath the spring-time sun, its rip
ening vegetables putting to shame
those of any other cline. The house
is Kentucky home, where hospital

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

Office Of Comptroller Of the Currency,
WASHINGTON, June 4, 1884.
sIR:-I have received your letter
of the aoth ultimo, making inquiry
in reference to a computation of
profit on circulation printed on page
70 of the report of the Comptroller
of the Currency for 1883.
The cost of redemption is the
amount charged by the Treasury
Department under the law for the
redemption of such notes as are pre-.
sented there.
The act of June 20, 1874, provides
that in lieu Of reserve, on circulation
each bank shall keep on hand with
the Treasurer U. S., an amount equal
to S per cent Of its outstanding cir
culation, and that this fund shall be
constantly kept good. In order to
carry out this provision of law bu-
reau called the National Bank Re-
demption Agency has been estab-
lished in the Treasurer's Office. In
this bureau all notes presented for
redemption are redeemed, sorted, and
charged to the account of the bank
by which they were issued.
The expenses Of this bureau are
paid entirely by the banks, PRO rata,
according to the amount of the out
standing circulation of each.
1t has been found that the PRO rata
share of the annual expense of a
National bank having 500, 200 circu-
lation is about 80 dollars, and there
fore this sum was used in the CON-
putation mentioned.
In reference to the premium you
will notice the computation assumes
that 100000 in 4 per cent bonds
will cost purchaser $IaI,ooo.
1t is also assumed that the bank,
having received circulation on them
intends to hold them until they are
redeemed. AT the time this compu-
tuition was made the period the a per
cent had to run asH years. At re-
demption the Government will only
pay the par of the bond. The pur-
shaser therefore, in the meantime,

THE TICKET.

1t can be truly said that the ticket
nominated at Chicago gives unbound
ed satisfaction to the Republicans of
Michigan, and there can be no pos
sible doubt that it will command the
electoral vote of the State by a ma
iority that will probably reach 40, 900,
no matter who is the opposing can
didate. Michigan Republicans, by
a decided majority have been for
Blaine in both the canvass of 1876,
and in 1880, as they were this time,
while the name of Logan is call to
active effort on the part of thousands
who are not partisan Republicans,
but were soldiers, and love Logan for
his deeds of gallant daring as their
leader in the war for the Union.
In Michigan, where the question
of the expediency of the nomination
of Blame has been raised, it was not
because the men loved Blaine less,
but because of the fear that the So
called Independents of New York
and Massachusetts,, might prevent his
election, and thus throw the country
into the hands of the free-trade De-
mocracy. The convention after the
widest possible investigation, has de-
cided that there is no doubt Blaine
is the man for the hour, and their
decision is not received with any
more heartfelt satisfaction by any
body else than by the men of Michi-
gan who, prior to the decision OF the
convention entertained doubts as to
expediency of his nomination, for
every one said, Blaine, if we can
elect him, is our first choice. The
convention has decided in the name
of the $4,000, 900 of Americans. that
he can, must, and shall be the next
President of these United States,
and six-tenths of the people of Mich
igan answer so it shall be, and so it
will be.

PROFITS ON NATIONAL BANK
CIRCULATION.

Since the National Banks were
chartered there has been continual
howl about the double profits de-
rived from their circulation, and the
interest on the bonds deposited as
collateral for the redemption Of their
bills. Speaking on this subject the
Comptroller of the Currency in his
Annual Report dated Dec. Ist, 1883,
gives the following table, as showing
the actual earnings of one Of the best
National Banks from the interest on
their bonds deposited at Washington,
and on the currency received from
the Government as the circulation of
the Bank. The bonds noted are the
a per cents, the one now generally
deposited by the banks, and which
will soon be the best in market.
Had the bonds been S per cents, OF
course the earnings would have been
more. Had they been the 81 or
4 per cents the earnings would have
been less. But here is what the
Comptroller says, read it carefully,
for it is official, and its accuracy can
not be disputed. 1t may be found
on page xiii OF the last Report, and

The Lansing Evening TELEGRAM,

The Lansing Evening Telegram
The nomination of Blaine and Logan
as the standard bearers ofthe Repub-
lican party in the present campaign,
is received in all parts of the country
with glad acclaim. The friends of
the other candidates fall readily into
line, and are ready to do all in their
power to secure the success of the
ticket. With the party unbroken by
factional strife, the can be no doubt
OF the result.
The Detroit Evening Journal;-
One of the most significant facts con-
nected with the Chicago Convention
is that nearly all the young men of
any state were followers of Blaine.
The Blaine delegations were largely
composed of young men, and this ac-
counts in measure for the terrific
howls that went up whenever the
Plumed Knights name was referred
to. The notable exceptions were
young Roosevelt, the New York re.
former, who wanted Edmunds, Frank
Conger, son of our Senator, who
howled for Arthur, and Cabot Lodge,
of Massachusetts, who made himself
conspicous by Directing to every
thing anybody else. wanted done.
The grey-beards and bald-heads as a
rule were for Edmunds, and the black
faces and fat office holders were for
Arthur.
The n. Y. Tribune Mr.. Blaine
is the strongest candidate the Repub-
lican party could have nominated, be-
cause he best represents its convic-
tons. The nomination of Gene raj
Logan for Vice-President was also
especially fortunate. He has great
strength at the West, and with the
soldiers everywhere, and his name
will kindle the enthusiasm of Repub-
licans at the South. The ticket can.
not be beaten. Blaine and Logan
will carry every Northern State, and
probably more than one ofthe South
ern States beside. Once more the
Republican party has proved its right
to rule by the wisdom of it's choice.
1t represents the people again, and
the people will not fail to justify its
confidence in their sagacity and their
patriotic feeling.

BEGOLE'S ADMINISTRATION.

1t will be recollected by those who
applied to the legislature of ,83, for
appropriations of swamp lands to aid
in the construction Of state roads and
bitches that all bills authorizing such
appropriations were defeated, and in
vestigation disclosed the fact that our
state swamp lands are practically ex-
hauSted.
Being interested at the time in Sc
curing an appropriation, l visited
Lansing eleven times during the ses-
sion of the legislature, in behalf Of
the measure. Desiring to consult the
swamp land commissioner, upon mat
tiers PERTAINING to the measure. in
variably called at his office for that
purpose, whenever I went to the
Capital. Nine times l was informed
that Mr.. FULLER was at his home, in
NEwAYGo, and seldom came to
LANSING. Once his deputy informed
me that Mr.. FULLER was in the city;
having just run down to attend the
Greenback state convention, (ot
which he was chairman,) but would
have no time to attend to official du.
ties. The next time l was more for
tunate, as found the gentleman at
his post, having as 1 was afterward
told, come down to draw his salary.
/ eventually sought, and obtained an
interview with Gov. BEGoLE, before
whom laid the matter; also present.
ing him copy of a memorial, ad
dressed to the Legislature, by the
board of health, of New Haven,
Sniawassee Co., in behalf of the as
ure. After examining the document,
he said the bill certainly merited the
attention Of the legislature; but the
Board of Control of which he is chair.
man could not appropriate the land
asked for, for the very good reason
that the state swamp lands were all
disposed of, and bill was then be.
fore the House to abolish the office
of swamp land commissioner. as it
was deemed unnecessary to retain
the Office after the lands were dis
posed Of for which the office was
created. He farther stated that con-
tracts had already been let to per
form work that would eventually have
to be paid in cash, owing to the ex.
cessive appropriations that had been
made by former boards OF control.
Under those circumstances saw
that it would be folly for me to press
my scheme any farther. Immagine
my surprise few weeks later upon
Tearing that the governor had vetoed
that bill, and retained w, d. FULLER
in the sinecure, and the people of
Michigan are compelled to pay him
$4,000 per annum, besides an al
lowance for q clerk, travelling and
other expense, amounting to per
haps twice as much more.
