THE THREEs AND THE BANKS.
The Attorney Generals Opinion rs to the
Called Bonds UnavaKlabllity.

The Attorney Generals Opinion rs to the
Called Bonds UnayaIlability.
WASHINGTON, November 4. 1T is stated
on authority that the opinion given by
the Attorney General as to the unavaila-
bility Of called three per cents as basis
of national bank circulation will make no
change in the attitude Of the Treasury De
pSrtment, because this opinion only
confirms the rule heretofore followed. The
banks have shown considerable diligence
in acting under this rule, and in eonse-
quenee of it they have Withdrawn from
deposit and presented for redemption near
ly $40, OOO, 600 of three per cent. bonds
since the 18th of August, the date of the
first $40, 900, 900 call. At the same time
hereafter it is expected that Withdrawals
will keep pace very faithfully with future
calls.
Against the $40, 900, 600 three per cent
withdrawn, there have been only about
s., ,00O, 900 other bonds deposited so that
the total bonds on deposit to secure ma
tiOnal bank circulation have been reduced
by about $31, 900, 900, which contracts the
circulation by about $2S, 900, ,000 Ifthese
proportions are preserved throughout, the
changes resulting from future calls of three
per cent bonds, there may be a further
contraction of about SIS, 900, 600 by the
time all these bonds are withdrawn.
1t is said ut the Treasury that this con-
traction in the volume of national bank
csrorlafsNp xv,ll not ha falt in tho nhanpalS
Of trade because national bank notes with
drawn from circulation will be replaced by
disbursements frem the Treasury; and in
addition the banks that surrender bonds
and reduce their circulation receive money
for ten per cent of the bonds redeemed
and FIVE per cent of the circulation sur
rendered making l43 per cent upon the
face Ofthe bonds.
On the 18th of August the total
amount Of per cent. bonds held by the
banks rs basis for circulation was a lit
tie more than S103, 000, 900, so that when
these bonds are all paid their payment
will put in circulation fourteen and one
half millions more than the amount of
currency then outstanding on these
bonds. The redemption of national
bank notes is very slow process.
The last report of the treasurer showed
that he was holding $50, 600 lawful
money for the redemption of outstanding
circulation and of course the more rapid
the surrender of circulation the larger will
be the amount required to be held in the
Treasury until the people choose to send
the notes in and take lawful money in
stead.

down feet first. He came up somewhat
dazed, but struck out for the boat in

he wanted tojump at Rochester and then

The whole world is robbed! What is most
sad, there are no consultations for the loss
and suffering entailed by gaming. Ifmen
fail in lawful business, God pities and so
ciety eommisserates; but, where in the
Bible or in society, is there any consola-
ton for the gambler? From what tree of
the foreset oozeS there balm that can
soOthe the gamester's heart? In that bot
tie where God keeps the tears of his chill
dren, are there any tears of the gambler?
Do the winds that come to kiss the faded
cheek of sickness and to cool the heated
brow of the laborer, whisper hope and
cheer to the emaciated victim of the game
of hazard? When an honest man is in
trouble, he has sympathy. "Poor felloww
they say. But, do gamblers come to
weep at the agonies of the gambler? In
Northumberland was one of the finest es-
tates in England. Mr.. Porter owned il,
and in year gambled it away. Having
lost the last acre of the estate, he came
down from the saloon, and got into
his carriage; went back; put up
his horse and carriage, and town-hOuse,
and played. He threw and lost. He
started home, and on q side-alley met q
friend, from whom he borrowed ten
guineas; went back to the saloon, and be-
fore great while had won twenty thou
sand pounds. He died at last beggar in
st. Giles. How many gamblers felt sorry
for Mr.. Porter? Who consoled him on the
loss Of his eststeg What gambler sub
