sudden death at that station IN Sun
day morning. Air. Pollock had been
in usual health up to within II nhurt
time OF his demis-. but having been for
many years n resider. Of Southern Cali
~ifoInia, this climate did not Seem To
agree with him aud that, together with
the fact that during tho recent great
rush in railEoaI traffic he has bceu
Obliged to keep very irregular hours,
seemed to produce II sadness III his de-
meauor which WAS Noticeable by his
friends. The immediate cause Of his
dsceSse we learn was Inflammation Of
the bowels.
Several representatives OF the Order
OF 4. Of p, Of which Mr.. Pollock WAS
= member. went up from this place on
Sunday night, and yesterday morning
the Esmaius were placed on boarI the

NATIONAL BANK CURRENCY.

National bank currency has evidently
seen is day. Many Of those who have
grown itch by past methods and those
who are anxious to yet come ia for a
few Of the loaVes, are at work dcvisiag
schemes to perpetuate such circulation.
"A Boston bank President proposes that
the future basis u national bank eircu-
lAtion shall be n reserve Of gold amount
ing to Go per cent, and q FIRST lien on
the Government for the remaining %
per cent upon the capital and nurplus
of the bank. Two other propositions
suggested are: First, that $500, 900,
of the public debt be made perpetual,
at a low rate Of interest, ~ per cent.
As security for national bank notes;
-Aeuond, that the national hank currency
lie allowed to disappear gradually, and
be replaced With greenbacks-Eureka
Sentinel.
We can sc no good reason for per.
petusting National banks except for the
especial benefit OF the few capitalists
whose investment in such banks returns
them su enormous revenue. There
never has been q better currency in eI-
iItenee than ereenbacks. and ms il will
save to the Government the annual dis.
bursement OF large sums OF money to
replace National bank currency with
Rrstnbacks II iS certainly in the interest
OF economy that "thc National bank
currency be allowed to disappear grad.
u"lly. and DO replaced. With green
backs"
