MUTILATED CURRENCY
A there h* bceu of late u general in
quiry regarding the value of mutilated
currency, the following facts are given for
information. They are taken from a cir
cular f Instruction to assistant treasurers,
issued by the United States Treasury De
partment on the 2d of January, 1872, the
provisions of which arc still in force
Defaced and mutilated fractional and le
gal tender notes, each equalling or exceed
ing by face measurement three flfths of its
otiginal proportions in one place, will, if
in such a condition that their genuineness
can lie clearly ascertained, be redeemed nt
the full face value of whole notes, in new
notes or currency, by the treasurer, the
several assistant treasurers, and designated
depositaries of the United Slates, and all
national banks designated as depositaries.
Fragments constituting less than three
fifths of the original note will be redeemed
only at the United Stales Treasury in
Washington, under the following condi
tions :
Fragments of legal tender notes nud
fractional currency constituting less than
half of the origlual proportions of the
netes will be redeemed only when accom
pained by atlidavit that the missing por
tions of the notes have been totally de
stroyed. The affidavit must slate the cause
and manuer of the mutilation, and the
character of the affiant must be certified to
be good by a magistrate or other public
officer. When accompanied by satisfactory
proof such fragments will be redeemed
fur the full face value of the notes of
which they are part.
Fragments, each less than one-half, but
together purporting to constitute more
than ono-half of a note, will ba redeemed
only when it shall appear, either from the
fragments themselves or by affidavit made
In conformity to the foregoing paragraph,
that they are actually parts of one original
note.
Entire pieces, constituting half or more
than halt, but leas than three fifths of
note*, will be redeemed for but half of the
fhll face value of the notes, except when
accompanied by an affidavit made in con
formity to paragraph I.
Half nolea that have been punched will
in no case be redeemed.
Counterfeit notes will be branded and
returned. Unredeemed fragments less
than half will be retained.
Fractional curreucy before being pre
sented fer redemption should he sorted
out into the different issues, and the issues
resorted into denominations, nud each par
cel should be bound together with a strip
of paper and labelled In ink with the uame
of the owner.
Oxk of the moat important billa signed
by the President in the closing hours of
Congress, is the bill construing tho bank
rupt law so as to allow bankrupts the ex
emptions provided by the constitution and
laws of each Stato iu 1871 ; such exemp
tions to be valid ngainst old debts aud any
judgment, lieu, or decision of a State court
to the contrary, notwithstanding. There
was a very hard struggle over this act.
The rich shylocks of Now York, Philadel
phia and Baltimore, who arc understood,
generally, to be all powerful with Grant,
wanted the opportunity to pursue and sell
out their Southern debtors ; per contra,
tbe Southern Republican Senators notified
tbe administration that for Grant to dufeat
this bill would annihilate tho Radical
white party iu the South. After much
hesitation the President concluded to sign
tbe bill, but he did it tardily and hardly
iu lime to save it. The moneyed meu of
the north are very augry at being batlled
of their prey.

The Socthkrx Canals.—The canal
schemes recommended by the President
tor the South did not fail altogether in the
late Congress. The river aud harbor ap
propriation bill provides for the expendi
ture of 1200,000 for tbe improvement of
navigation on the Tennessee River, and
the clearing away of the famous "Mussel
Shoals." This is tbe first step toward a
final realization of tbe project to furnish
cheap transportation to tbs Southern
Stales which tbs President has so near at
heart, and will be followed in due time
with additional appropriations which will
aggregate a sufficient amount for its suc
cess.
Oue of the keepers of the Soldiers' Aay

The Carrolton News says :
Mr. Wesley White, an old citizen of this
connty, being above 60 years of age, living
in the neighborhood of Whiteeburg, we
understand, took his first ride on the cars
on last Tuesday. The old gentlemen, we
learn, was hugely pleased with the iron
hone, and was so excited throughout his
ride that be could hardly keep his Seat
tle thinks it mighty near equal to flying,
and is in kis opinion a decided improve
ment upon the old ox cart style of getting
about in Carroll.
In connection with the above we also
learn that there is an old gentleman 62
yean of age, not far from Whiteeburg, who
has never seen the can. When we get our
three railroads running through this coun
ty. we will wake these eld tellows up.

Ssaioes Accident.—A gentleman by
the name of Culver, who has been selling
the “ Farmers' Cooking Stoves" about the
city for some days, met with a distressing
accident near the Southwestern Depot
yesterday forenoon. While driving his
team in that neighborhood his mules ran
away, threw him to the ground, and while
down the wheels of his wagon ran ever
one of his ankles, by which all the bones
in that member were broken and terribly
crushed. He was conveyed by Mr. Win.
Perry to his room in the Muscogee Home
building, where Dr. F. A. Stanford was
called in and rendered the necessary med
ical assistance. Mr. Culvor suffered great
ugouies for au hour or two, but at last ac
counts was resting something easier. Hu
will, doubtless, be confined by his injuries
for a long while.— Columbus Enquirer, B th.

The News says :—One of the D. I*.

this bore.
Some time during Wednesday night or
Thursday morning, the establishment on
the northeast corner of Lincoln and Liber

odd dollars in money, besides a box of ci

Friday morning at the railroad yard, a
negio drayman in whipping his mules cut
a young man named Wm. Darrell in the
face. Darrell suggested to the negro that
he use his whip carefully. In respouse to
this the latter became so very insolent and
abusive that Darrell struck him with a
piece of wood which was conveniently a
hand. The negro seizing his cottou hook
made a fierce assault on Darrell, beating
and bruising him considerably. The as
sault was a brutal one and might have re
sulted seriously but for interference. The
negro was arrested.

The Savannah News says
Siuce the announcement of the defalca
tion in the Southern Bank of Georgia,
considerable alarm bus created in certain
circles, aud iu several instances books
have been subjected to a rigid inspection
by employers who had heretofore not both
ered themselves with keeping the run of
their accounts. One of these merchants
discovered a deficit of S6OO in the accouul
of his bookkeeper, and brought the young
man up to law, when he acknowledged
his offence, but promised to make good
the amouut. The employer wne not desi
rous of prosecuting him out of regard for
his family, and consented to give him time
to return the amount. Under these cir
cumstances, we refrain from mentioning
the names of the parties, as their is a prob
ability of tbe deficiency being early settled
the late employee yet remaining in tie
city.

were all made to contribute their rich
plumage to it.
At a meeting at the M. E. Church, in
Covington, last Friday night, the propriety
of using au organ for church services, was

Railroad Accident—Slacohteb of
Horses Shipped to Auousta. —On the
Western & Atlantic Itnilro&d, two miles
above Marietta, on Thursday, an accident
occurred to a down freight train, caused
by a broken rail. The engine and one
stock car—containing cattle —passed over
the rail in safety, but the two next cars,
loaded with cattle and mules and horses,
and three cars loaded with coal, were
thrown violently from the track—some of
them turning completely over, and were
smashed to atoms, killing three horses and
three mules. The escape of the balance
of the stock was miraculous, as the cars
were torn to pieces, some of them turned
bottom upwards, aud several mules and
horses were crushed in the debris. The
injury to the balance ol the stock of horses
and cattle in the crushed cars was less
than could have been expected ; save
those killed instantly, hut few were
slightly injured. The stock were con
signed to Mr. Simmons, Augusta,
and it will be some days before they can
be got in condition to reship, as they were
turned into a field, and will await trans
portation arrangements from Marietta.
The loss to the road for the burses and
mules killed was adjudged at SBSO. The
damages to those injured were mil as
sessed.—Constitutionalist.
A widow lady, Mrs. Lauxtou, her aud
