A. new departure IN the matter of
aounterfeiting money was brought to
light at The United States sub treas
i.ry IN Baltimore Il few days ago. A
somewhat worn $40 government bill
was presented at the cashiers win
dow with Il request for change, which
was given. The note was sent to
Washington ~ mutilated currency,
and was returned with the informa
zion that one side of the note was
good, but the other side was a well
executed counterfeit Of the original.
II va found that a genuine $40 bill
had been split, the face being separ-
ated from the back, n seemingly i'm
possible undertaking. The original
face, with u counterfeit back, had
been used, and it is quite likely that
the genuine back, with a w~ell.execu-
ed counterfeit face, had been passed
in some other quarter. The portion
Of the note was worth exactly its
proportion of the whole, or, in other
words, IS. More recently another SO
'front.' was presented at the cash
ier's window with a similar request
Tor change. The clerk ut the window
-uspecting the bill, told the man who
handed il In to wait q moment until
ne could consult DR.. Bishop, the sub
treasurer. DR.. Bishop recognized in
he note the familiar game, and said
t was worth just Is. When the
clerk returned to the window, how
aver, the lnan had left without watt
my for his change. The s~ub-treasury
Shich was out q on the first transact
don, was evened up by the second.
This system Of manipulating paper
money Ia perhaps n of the most
dangerous forms of swindling eve
attempted. One o more genuine
fronts" mixed with several whole
notes would be liable to deceive expert
bsnk ~tellers. The face bearing un-
doubted proof Of g%enuineness, very
low would be apt to examine the
BACKS of all the notes, unless some
thing in the feel Of the paper might
arouse suspicion. Then should any
cne, especially II not so expert as u
bank teller, happen to strike the
counterfeit side, and have his Doubts
about the notes, . glance at the other
aide would probably set at rest all
questions. It would seem, says the
Baltimore Sun, that the expert ma.
fipulxtors Of paper currency will
aventuslly compel the government

Counterfeit Silver.

CHICAGO, APP. 12.-For several weeks past
some persons have been industrious in pass
ing counterfeit dollar and half-dollar pieces
Their operations were generally confined to
saloons and the keepers of small stores.
Last night one Of the gang was caught pass
ing piece of spurious money and was lock-
cd up. His name is Alexander Sebo, a
Greek or Italian, who runs peanut stand.
Last evening he attempted to work oflsome
of the coin in saloon, and was recognized
as the one who had vctimZed the house be-
fore. When Sebo saw the officer he slyly
dropped half a dozen pieces ofthe counter
felt money on the floor. When taken to
the station number of other similar pieces
were found upon him. 1t is thought he he.
longs to the same gang Of Italians as the 10
who we're arrested in Cincinnati Saturday
while passing the same kind bogus money.

COL MosBY WoRsTED IN A FIGHT-The
-Army and Nary Journal publishes the fol.
lowing extract from San Francisco letter
"Ex- Confederate Colonel Mosby and Lieu.
tenant Graydon, who was recently in the
employ of the Chinese torpedo service, had
row in leading hotel lobby the other
night. 1t seems that Graydon accused the
clerk of the hotel of stealing 81 900, and on
trial Mosby swore the lieutenant had not a
good reputation in Hong Kong. Graydon
in return testified that Mosby was unfriend-
ly towards him because the former had re-
fused to make an appointment Tor him.
Mosby heard this, and accompanied by two
friends found Graydon in the hotel lobby,
aud after few words denounced him in set
terms as liar. Instantly Graydon knock
ed the doughty ex guerrilla down. Mosby,
beside himself, rushed on the lieutenant and
again found himself on the floor. Then he
put his hand to his pistol pocket but was
seized by his friends and hurried to his room
leaving Graydon master of the field. The
prospects of duel between the two gentle
men arc being discussed about the town."

THERE IS no present danger of war be-
tween this aud any foreign country, because
no foreign troops would have any chance
for their lives in this country, and this coun-
try has no navy to fight foreign countries on
the seas. If it were otherwise, however
and foreign troops should invade this coun.
try. ex-Confederates and their sons would
vie with the men Of the North in their eff.
forts to repel them. But what an excellent
excuse the few, if any, who wouldn't do so
would nave in the fact of the existence of
the statute that prohibits ex-Confederates
from holding commissions in the army. And
how plausible it would sound, if when re-
quested to join the army, one OF them were
to say: mo; l was not allowed to do so
when there was no fighting to be done, and
now that there is, let those who kept me
out do the fighting themselves" To ordi-
nary people it seems passing strange that
though the war has been over for nearly q
quarter of a century, and though large
portion of the men who make the statutes
are ex .Confederates, q statute should exist
that prohibits ex. Confederates from holding
commissions in the army. The future SO.
curity of the country, let alone common
sense, would seem sufficient to induce the
repeal OF the statute referred to. Mr.. Ed.

that is best for the country in the way OF

any possibility of attaining under existing
circumstances. The products of the mine

Order Restored in East St. Louis.

EAST ST. LOWS, Ills, April II. The
presence OF militia in this city continues to
have its desired effect, and no disturbances
nor unlawful acts have been reported since
the incen1iary fires Of Friday night, and it
is now believed that no encounter between
the military ard strikers will occur. Tho
same strict guard, however, over tho rail
road property is observed this morning, and
the vigilance Of the sentries has in no way
been relaxed. Tho time over which the
to go ovor the bridge into East st. Louis,
to supply themselves with passes elapsed
at midnight last night, and the bridge this
morning presents an animated appearance.
Pedestrians arc passing and repasslng with
ont interference, and transfer wagons, heav-
lily loaded, are crossing over, and on neither
side of the bridge are there drivers ap-
preached by intimidating strikers attempt
ing to persuade them 10 again stop work.
The promise Of the military of protection
TO those who might desire to 40 to
work today, has resulted i'll tho employ
ment Of large number Of applicants, most
of whom are not Knights OF Labor, hut those
who were employed in the filling of vacan-
cies caused by the strike of the latter, and
who left their place last Friday after the
fatal shooting by the deputies. Tie platforms
Of the various freight depos are busy with
men actively engaged in loading and un-
loading cars and no attempt at interference
by the strikers has occurred nor is any an
ticipated. No freight trains have left this
city since $50 o'clock, but in several yards
trains are now in process of construction
and the attempt to start them out will be
male, it is expected, somu tilno during the
forenoon.

ALEX ANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL ~.

IT Is reported by the newspaper CORE
spoudents in Washington that repetltioh
Of the recent riotous acts in East St. Louis
will witness the presence of large oody OF
United States troops there; that the ffesi.
dent and General OF the Army had seVefal
conferences during last week on the subject;
and that active preparations have been IN
progress for protecting life and property 10
the rotous districts, among them the order-
inc of four regiments to assemble at their
carrisons, and that all the detached compa-
MES thereof are doing, or have already done
80 IF all this had been done long ago
many lives and much property would have
been saved, and the increased cost OF living
in the districts referred to, which poor peo-
p,e could i'll afford to bear, have been pre-
vented. The President would have been
amply justified by the Constitution in the
adoption of any means that would nave
stoned these evils and secured the preser-
walton of order and the enforcement OF the
laws. The Constitution provides that
CltlZ5LS OIL eacn SLdLo suaii NO on'ie'S" w "
the privileges and immunities of citizens in
the several States; that the right OF the
people to be secure in the possession OF
their houses and effects shall not be violat'
ed; that no person or persons shall DO de-
prived of property without due process OF
law; that no State shall deny TO any per-
son within its jurisdiction the protection OF
the law; and that the United States shall
guarantee to every State republican form
of government aud shall protect each OF
them against invasion. Any one OF THESE
provisions would have warranted the Presl
dents interference in the case referred to;
and why he should not have interfered un-
der the combined and urgent demands OF
all of them is hard to tell. The people IN
the ristous districts have not been allowed
the privileges and immunities OF people IN
other States, they have not been secure in
the possession of their effects; some OF them
have been deprived of their property with
out due proce s. of law; they have been de-
nied the protection of the law; and the Gov
eminent has not protected East st. Louis,
in Illinois, from invasion by riotous strikers
from St. Louis, in Missouri; and that tbatinVa'
sion was no less an invasion because no call
was made either by the Governor or Legs
lature of Illinois, goes without saying.
What have been mentioned are
the express provisions of the Con-
stitution, and, in addition to them, that
instrument also provides that it is the su-
preme law of the land, and that the Presi.
dent shall take care that the laws be execu-
ted faithfully. The good sound common
sense of the country, the welfare of all the
people thereof, and the organic law of the
government unite in the demand that the
bloody and incendiary disorders at ST.
Louis shall cease and that the lines of traf-
fic through that city be reopened.
