They we're at first received with re-
luetance by everybody. Merchants en-
deavored to discredit them. Railroads
refused to receive them, and many
banks would only take them on special
deposit. The Secretary of the Treasury
and other officials signed paper agree
ing to receive them in payment of sala-
ries. The people we're assured that they
would be redeemable in coin on demand
at Boston, New York, Philadelphia. ST..
Louis, and Cincinnati. Sept. 3, 1861,
Gen. Scott issued circular to the army
announcing that the Treasury Depart
ment, to meet future payments to the
troops, is about to supply, besides coin,
notes in So, SO, and $40, as good as
gold in all banks and Government
Offices throughout the United States,
and most convenient for transmission bv
mail from the officers and men to their
families at home" OF these notes s24,-
550,325 were issued prior to Dee. 1,
1861, and the whole amount of 500
100000 before April 1, 1862. Specie
payments were suspended Dec. 90, 1861.
1t was then discovered that the ode
mand notes were very useful with
which to pay duties .-95n imports, and
their value appreciated above that Of
ordinary greenbacks, though the latter
were legal tender. They thus became an
annoyance to the officers of the Treasury,
who relied upon the duties to furnish
gold with which to pay the interest on
the public debt and foreign expenditures.
Consequently they were retired from cir
culation as rapidly as possible, and by
July 1, 1868, more than $56,OoO,0OO
had been called They we're never
at premium above gold, because they
were redeemable in gold on demand.

To debase the Nations money-to rob honor of

They would trail our country's flag. raise anarchy's

And bring the enemies of peace and law and

In responding promptly to the Nations bu.le

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, who was 6
good soldier during the war, has written
ringing letter in opposition to the
Anarchy, States Rights, Sectionalism,
Socialism, and the Free Silver delusion of
the Chicago platform. 1t is a magnifi-
cent refutation of the sophistries of
Organism, and carries conviction in
every sentence. Nothing more plain,
