important feature of this plan is tho
exemption Of State banks from taxa

claiming such exemption that they

kept and maintained guaranteed

notes equal to 80 per cent. of their
outstanding circulating notes, and
that such banks have promptly re-
deemed the circulating notes when
presented at their principal or branch

Continued from third page.)


nancial obligations of our Govern
mcnI. The question relating to our
banks and currency are closely con-
necteI with the subject just referred
to md they also present some msat
Is 'Lc,ory features. Promjn mt among
the II are lack of ella site .ty in our
currency circulation and its frequent
concentration in financial centers
when it is most needed in other parts
of the country. The absolute di
vorcement OF Government from the
business OF banking is the ideal rela-
ton OF a government to the circula-
ton of the country. This condition
cannot be Immediately reached, but
it Is step i'll that direction and as
means of securing more elastic cur
rcncy and obviating other objections
to the present arrangement of bank
circulation the Secretary of the Treas
ury presents in his report a scheme
modifying the present banking laws
and providing for the issue of circu-
lating notes, free from taxation un-
der certain limitations.
The Secretary explains his plan so
plainly and rs advantages are de-
veloped by him with such remarkable
clearness that any effort on my part
to present an argument in it's support
would be supertiuous, shall, there
fore, content myself with the unquali.
fed Endorsement Of the Secretary's
proposed changes in the law. 1t is
proposed to repeal all laws providing
for the deposit of United States
bonds as security for circulation; to
permit national banks to issue circu-
lating notes, not exceeding in amount
seventy-tive per cent. OF their paid up
and unimpaired capital, provided they
deposit with the Government, as a
guarantee fund in United States le-
gil tender notes, including treasury
notes Of 1890, a sum Of equal amount
to 30 per cent of the notes they desire
to issue, this deposit tobe maintain ed
at all times. But when any bank re-
tires any part OF it's circulation a pro.
portionate amount Of it's guarantee
fun | shall be returned to it. In ad
dition to the guarantee fund it is pro
posed to provide a safety fund for the
immediate redemption OF circulating
notes OF failed banks by imposing g
small annual tax, say one half of one
per cent, upon tho average circula
ton Of each bank, until the funG
amounts to 5 per cent. Of the tota
outstanding. When bank fails itt
guarantee fund is to be paid into this
safety fund and it's notes are to be re
deemed in the first instance from sucl
safety fund thus augmented and any
impairment OF said fund to be made
good from the immediate available
cash assets OF said bank, and If these
should be insufficient such an i'm
pairmeDt to be made good by a pro
rata assessment among other banks

A stirring Scene That Was Enacted in
Front of vicissburg.
When our army under Gen. Grant
closed In around Vicks5urR we took
possession of the outer line Of works,
the confederates falling back TO the
next line. These works were long,
continuous trenches on the crests OF
several ridges surrounding the city In
the form of a semicircle having It's base
on the river. Between these ridges
was a narrow valley having the same
general course and direction as the
ridges
The brigade TO which the writer be-
longed had its position on the north of
the city, extending eastward from the
river and embracing the ridge that
made north to Haines' Bluff on the
Yazoo river After securing the outer
lines so easily we were ordered TO
charge upon the next line on May 10,
and again the 22d of May, If my menu
DRY is correct.
These two assaults proved unavail-
Ing but quite disastrous TO us, so Gen.
Grant concluded to try the slower but
safer methods of a siege. In pursuance
OF this idea our brigade commander,
Col Charles r. Woods, Of the Seventy
sixth Ohio, lone of natures noblemen,
will Observer concluded to put a
twelve-pound gun in the line of rife
pits In front OF our brigade. As our

pared for it, but Col. Woods and Capt
Landgraber, OF the First Missouri
artillery. were equal to the occasion. A
spur OF the ridge projected northward
and terminated rather abruptly about
two hundred yards from the main
ridge, and from this point the start was
made.
Everything being ready, and each
man In place, Capt LandRraber's voice
sounded the command: Forward"
The horses seemed to know IL was nee
essary to put forth their greatest
strength and speed, for in less time
than It takes TO describe they had
rushed over that three hundred yards
| of open, unprotected ground in plain
view and short range of the enemy.
The confederate works swarmed with
men observing closely the whole pro-
| ceedsng from start TO finish, and per-
| feet storin of bullets fell around that
heroic gun crew. but they accomplished
| their object without man being hurt.
| One Of the horses was bit, and fell, but
jumped up and finished the race. 1t
seems almost miracle that gun
| drawn by four horses could travel
three hundred yards--every foot of the
distance under calling fire and at
short range-withouta man or horse
being killed.
My pen is not able to portray that
scene, nor Is my gilt Of language SUI
ficient to describe it in the manner II
deserves. can only say every man
engaged in that artillery charge, from
captain to private, was a hero, whose
conduct deserved the highest praise,
