Ncw York Banks and silver.

The action Of United States Sub-Treas-
urer Acton, of New York, in using $780,
600 in silver certificates in paying his
Indebtedness to the clearing house IN that
city last Monday. has raised the question
again whether or not il is the purpose Of
the NeT York banks to refuse TO take sill
yer certificates. The impression lately
has been that they would refuse to take
them if offered, but this impression does
not appear to have been wholly correct.
In answer to inquiries bank presidents
SAID that the associated banks raised o
objection TO the reception of the 100000 of
silver certificates offered by Sub-Treasu-
rer Acton for two reasons: First, because
the law provides that no national bank
shall be a member of a clearing house
which refuses to take silver certificates;
and second. because there was no dis
position TO discriminate against silver
until the necessity for doing so became
imperative.
1t seems, however, that the sub-Treasu-
rer had never before offered to settle his
clearing house balance in silver, and
there appears to be some sort OF an I'M
derstanding that ne Will not offer to do so
again. II. however. he should offer silver
again. it would not in all probability be re-
fused.
The ract that silver was paid st the
clearing house by the government is the
occasion of some comment in. view of the
fact that it had never before offered it.
The Secretary Of the Treasury said that
the reason was that the government
found it necessary to ecOnOmize in gold.
This admission would seem to indicate
that more gold is going out Of than there
is coming into the Treasury. 1t is certain
that a very large part of the duties is
being paid in silver certificates. From
Dec. / to Jan. 26 last 100000 was paid
in at the New York custom house. OF this
sum s.. COO, 600 was in silver certificates. If
the government pays out gold it must
receive gold from its sources of revenue:
but if the government is forced to econo-
mize In gold hsw long will it be, if the
present coinage of silver continues, before
the outflow Of gold will be greater than
the inflow? When that time comes it
VIII not, of course, take the country long
to reach a silver basis.

A NORTH CAROLINA TRAGEDY
For Love of His Neighbours Wife.


RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. 8.-News has been
received here of brutal murder and the
suicide of the murderer in Columbus
county last week. J.P. Ward and Elisha
Prince were IeighboTs, thrifty farmers,
and brothers-in-law-Wa ard having mar.
ried a sister of Prince. The relations OF
the two families were all that could be de-
sired until two years ago, when it began
to be whispered around that Ward and
the wife of Prince were too fond of each
other. This talk soon reached the ears of
Prince and created deadly animosities
between him and Ward. This state OF
affairs continued until the middle of JAN
uary last, when Ward and Mrs. Prince
eloped together and went as far as Sa-
Vannah, Ga. While in this city they saw
several cars loaded with COINS,
and, believing that deadly cpl
demic was progressing around them,
they became alarmed and made their way
back home to Columbus county. Mrs.
Prince was soon recOnciled to her hus-
band, Joined the church and to all appear
,ances was a reformed woman. Believin e
now that he had lost all control over Mrs.
Prince, the infatuated Ward became so
enraged that he armed himself with a
Distol. shotgun. two walls of Iaudanum
and a vial Of opium. Thus prepared, he
lay in ambush for Prince and shot him
dead as he worked in the field. Ward
Their started home, and met neIghbor
whom he told that he had killed Prince,
and that he intended to kill himself by
taking poison. At this time two more of
the neighbors came up and attempted to
prevent Ward from executing his threat.
but he kept them from him by means OF
the gun and took out the laudanum walls,
drained them, went home, went to sleep,
and never awoke. Both men had wives
and children, and were buried the same
day in the same cemetery.

The River and Harbor Bill.

1t would be interesting to know what is
to become of the river and harbOr bill.
Mr.. Willis, the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Rivers and HarbOrs, thinks he will
have a chance to get the bill before
the House again. There is not much rea-
son to doubt that he will, but the question
is, will he meet with much better success
than he did last week? 1t Is probable
that those who were backing Eads'
schemes are Indifferent with regard to it,
and it may be hostile to it. There are
doubtless a good many who would like to
see it defeated, and knowing that it will
not take much to defeat it because of the
very short time there will be in which to
consider it, may exert themselves to &C
cOmplish its defeat.
1t will certainly take good management
to get the bill through. If it fails public
works all over the country will suffer
great damage. If work on our river, for
instance, is stopped for a few months it
Will require many thousands OF dollars to
put it in as good condition as it is at
present.
But even If the failure of the bill is not
probable the late day that it will reach the
Senate makes the prospect of getting an
increased appropriation for our river very
unDrOmising. The amount in the bill,
$50, 900, is not half what we ought to have,
but if the bill does not go to the Senate
before the very last days of the session it
is not likely that we shall get any more.

The Consumption of Gold.


The New York Tribune has compiled
some very interesting facts from late
report of Mr.. Burchard, the Director of
the Mint, respecting the consumption of
gold. Mr.. Burchard directed inquiries TO
1863 persons who, he had reason to think,
were using gold in the arts and manutac-
lures. The replies which he had received
were such that he estimates that the
amount of gold annually consumed in
this country exceeds $21, 100000
The amount of gold annually consumed
in France is $1O,OOO,0OO Taking these
two countries as a basis, and using other
information at his disposal, MIR. Burchard
estimates the annual consumption of
gold throughout the world at $75,OOO,OOO.
From the best information obtainable
the amount of gold produced last year
was 500, 600, 600. When the wear of coins
and the actual loss of gold is taken into
consideration it becomes evident that the
production and consumption OF gold, ln-
GLIDING loss and wear with consumption,
are not so very far apart; and when 1t is
considered that consumption is increas-
ing rapidly and that production is not, it
becomes a question whether the time is
not coming when substitute for gold,
as money, must be found if new gold
| ie,.- LA discovered.

1t is not probable that any change Will
be made in the general policy of the gov
eminent in regard to the Indians during
Mr.. C;eveIand's administration. TIE
tribes will doubtless continue to hold
their reservations in common, and the
government continue to pay the annuities
provided for by the treaties. That there
will be many changes in the personnel Of
the officials through whom the govern
ment has intercourse with the Indians
may be accepted as a foregone conclu-
sion. With competent officials in every
part of the Interior Departmental
pecially honest representatives at the
different agencies-it can scarcely be
doubted that the condition Of the Indians
will be very greatly improved during the
next four years, and their wishes and
needs better understood throughout the
country.
The time will come, however, and it can
hardly be very far distant, when the l0-
dian policy of the government will be
changed. The lands will eventually be
| divided. and the titles vested in the IN
dams in severalty. This change Of policy
must necessarily involve the abolition of
the tribal forms of government, and the
| comforting of citizenship on all Indians
in the Union.
4 large majority of nearly all the In
| dian tribes are opposed to the partition
| ing of their lands. The more intelligent
| Indians urge that it would result in the
more ignorant among them being cheated
/ a.,
who would soon find means to force many
other Indians to sell their lands for much
| less than they are worth, and that the
| land grabbers would in few years leave
! the Indians homeless, and cause them to
become more degraded than they were in
the perfectly savage state. There seems
| to be much wisdom in this view OF the
| matter, but the lands could be parti-
| toned, and the power of the Indians to
dispose of them restricted for time, at
| least, until they should become reconciled
to and familiar with the new order of
things.
| 1t vii doubtless be the policy of the
| GOV eminent, as early as practicable, to
put all persons who are permanent in
habitants of the country on an equality
ciyilly and politically, and the Indians
would do well to anticipate the probable
change of policy towards them, and pre-
| pare for it.
The Indians Occupy'a peculiar relation.
| They are wards of the United States Gov
ernment, and at the same time members OF
quasi foreign States within the bounds Of
| the Union.

SUDDEN DARKNESS IN A CITY.
CONSERVATION of People Who Thought
the End of the World at Hand.


the End of the World at Hand.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 9.-Many citi-
zens of Louisville who are superstitious,
and indeed a number who are not,
thought the world was about to come to
an end this morning. Rain had been
falling steadily up to S:45 O'Clock, when
it suddenly ceased, and then there came
a rafting fusillade of thunder; streaks of
vivid li6htnixg darted from the clouds,
the light of day began to fade out, and in
after the first clap of thunder, an almost
EgvDtian darkness had settled upon the
city. Houses few feet away looked like
mountains in a fog, and trees became
spectres.
The duration of the darkness was about
four minutes. During that time chickens
went to rOost all over the city. Many Of
the scenes and incidents about town were
amusing. At the corner of Fourth ave-
nue. and Green street Catholic priest fell
upon his knees in a street car and crossed
himself, and in a negro quarter known as
"PrauntOwnr some Of the inhabitants in
stituted a session of prayers. Many
citizens thought the sudden darkness was
the forerunner of a cyclone, and took to
their cellars for safety. A fashionable
Young lady who was at the breakfast table
imagined that she had become suddenly
blind and was thrown into Mysteries.
Scientists claim that the darkness was
caused by a heavy black cloud which
stretched from the eastern and southern
horizon to about 10 degrees from the
western and northern horizon, so black
and dense as to shut off the direct rays of
the sun, and obstruct all reflected light.
Thunder and lightning, with wind and
rain, followed the break in the clouds.

A Discouraged Journalist


Last night / was assigned to report a
fire over on the west side, and wrote it
up in grand style; made half column
article of it. l began it in this way: ''Sud-
denly, on the still night air rang the shrill
CRY Of 'firep and at the same moment the
little licking tongue of flame, whose light
play along the roofs edge had caught the
eye Of the midnight watcher, leaped forth,
no longer playing, but fierce and angry in
its thirst and greed. Like glowing, snaky
demons, the lurid links entwined the
doomed building; in venomOus Kisses and
spurts the flames shot into the overhang-
ing darkness, while from every window
and door poured forth dense sulphurous
smoke, the deadly, suffocating breath Of
a imprisoned fiend."
Il went on in that style for over half a
c lumn," said the reporter, ''and this is
p lat showed up in the paper this morn

The Tammany people are determined
to show the country that the old organi-
cation is not so dead as some people may
think it is. At the meeting Tuesday
night to discuss the proposed excursion
to the inauguration the Committee of Ar
rangements announced that they were
prepared to offer tickets for the round
trip for SIS, which would include trans
pOrtatiOn and lodgings at Washington,
but would not include meals and ''Te-
freshments." The price was considered
high, and one brave, who was evidently
much depressed by the election, sug-
gested that they go in ordinary, instead
of ''palace" cars. Another said that the
County Democrats were able to go at So
a head, and were to have a band of music
100 strong, whereas Tammany, for Sl5 a
head, was only to have band of so. In
order to reduce the price several leading
braves volunteered to pay from $3.50 to
$3.50 each. and the expedition Will now go
through in fine shape, numbering about
800 men. Commenting on this meeting
the New York EUentng Post says: I'VE
do not remember a previous Tammany
expedition for which the expenses were
discussed in advance at a public meet
ing" IL is very evident that Tammany
is not only not as powerful as it used to
be, but that money is by no means as
plentiful among its members as formerly.

FL Mahdi's movement is a SOudanese revolt

a government whose expressions and eXac-

A Narrow Minded Policy.

1t is charged by the Democrats that lead
ing Republicans in each branch o Congress
are doing their best TO force an eX ira sessi, n,
IN the theory that it would harm the
Democrats. If this is true, the leading Re
is no necessity for an extra session, and the
country will have no patience with anybody
who helps to force one. From the narrow
standpoint of party policy, to say nothing of
the broader view Of national advantage, the
republicans could not do worse thing than
to threw obstacles in the way of closing up
CONGRESSIONAL business by March 4.
