THAT counting OF moneys, securities, etc.,
in the Treasury vaults recently was no small
job. To Washington letter we are indebt-
ed for the following information. Forty ex
pert counters and as many clerks who kept
the records were at work nearly three weeks
counting the paper money, bonds, etc. A
dozen clerks and as many laborers were at
work for week or ten days counting the
gold and silver coin in the vaults. The spe.
Gle handled aggregated nearly So. 0O0, 600
about 600. 900 silver dollars $500. 900 minor
silver coins and 81 500. 900 in gold coin. The
silver coin weighed about 270 tons. and the
gold coin about four and a half tons. This
hard money, strictly speaking, was not
counted, but weighed. The silver dollars,
when originally placed in the vaults, were
put in bags, each containing 81 coo, coin and
bag weighing 6fty.nine and one-fourth
pounds. The gold was in bags containing
S., 900 each and weighing eighteen and one
half pounds. A few bags only were counted
and the others weighed. The paper money
and securities handled included a reserve
fund of nearly Sl6i coo 600, made up of $751;
600, 900 in United States notes. $104, 000 600
in gold certificates, and about 500 600. 900 In
silver certificates, also interest checks and
coupons aggregating SS,000,000, unissued
clearinghouse certificates amounting to S55,.
to 1915. 900 coo. total of $572, 600 900, which,
added to the Sl2 600, 900 in coin, make 1884,.
100000.

THE Rev. DR.. Talrage in his last Friday
evening talk TO HE people alluded to the
late Secretary Frslinghuysen In warm terms
He said that from first to last in his public
and private life Mr.. Frelinghuysen had
shown an uprlghtness OF character ire
proachable and beyond all criticism. His
life was perpetual rebnke to demagogism
and political fraud. No bribe ever touched
the palm of his hand; no blasphemous word
ever blistered his lip no blush Of dishonesty
ever tinged bic cheek. He was never in any
place where it would have been unseemly
for him to die.
LET the American people learn that there
Is such thing as honesty in politics. Credit
Mobilier swept by Mr.. Frelinghuyssn on one
side; great land grabbing schemes swept by
him on the other, bat they neither touched his
head nor his heart nor his pocket. Mill ms
