In a rscent article, after making an attack on the seigniorage bill, he winds np with the following truthful statement: “It is rather remarkable that the currency inflationists have not called for the execution of the old legal ten¬ der nets of 1862 and 1863, under which the secretary of the treasury has, at this moment, an incontestable right to issue 836,000,000 of new greenbacks, and it is also remarkable that Secretary Carlisle did not avail himself of it instead of resorting to an illegal issue of bonds under the re¬ sumption ae-t of 1875. The amount of legal tenders originally authorized was $450,000,000. Th# act of April 12, 1862, directed the redemption of them at the rate of $4,000,000 per month, and they had been reduced by such redemption to $350,0fl0,000 when the art of JVb. 4, 1868, stopped the progress, in 1873 those that had been re¬ deemed were reissued to an amount sufficient to bring the total up to $382,000,000, and that figure was, by the net of June 24, 1874, fixed ns tin ]n„it beyond which the is>> should not go. Under the resumption act of 1875 the amount outstanding was, r< j,y the redemption of $36,000, ooo $340,000,000 or thereabouts, to which no addition has since been made, but the powey to reissue this $36,000,000 has never been taken away from the secretary of the treas ury and atill exists in full force.” This is nil true, but the .few's object in stating it was to defeat the seign iorago bill. When Stewart, IVff.r, Allen, and other Populists proposed that last August this Jew thought it high treason. MILITARY WHISTLE SIGNALS. To be Used on the Skirmish Line When the Trumpeter i« Disabled.

A dispatch from Massilon, Ohio, says: There seems to be no danger of the soldiers of Coxey’s commonweal starving. The populists alqng the proposed line of march arc bestirring themselves. At Alliance, a storeroom has lain set apart as commissary headquarters, and 'his is packed with an endless variety of eatables. The Portugese war ships having Admiral Da Oama and other Brazilian insurgent refugees on board, have ar¬ rived at Montevideo. The authorities representing the government of Uru¬ guay refused to allow the warship to enter the quarantine station, and it is thought probable tie. Portugese ships will now proceed to Buenos Ayres. Advices from Santander state that the official report on the second dyna¬ mite explosion gives the number killed as eighteen, and the injured seven, of whom three may die. ’1 tie authorities, though convinced that there is no more dynamite remaining in the hull of the sunken vessel, have ordered the de¬ struction of the wreck by means of petards.

The Boston Journal says that, the dull times m the palter nmnnfaetnrihg trade have caused a movement for a great national combination or pool of all the mills. The plan is to form a fixed schedule of prices which all the members shall observe m selling their output. The schedule shall go into effect the first day of next January.

The house eointeilb < on agriculture has perfected the Hntysh anti-option lull and directed Mr Hatch to report it to the house favorably. The vote on the bill was 12 to 2. The Polliird-Breekinridge case lias developed the fact that there is no law in tlie District of Columbia for the punishment of seduction. Congressman Morse, of Massachusetts,has introduced a bill which contains the text of tin stringent Massachusetts law on this subject. Although the proposition to report a bill for tlie-iepeal of the ten per cent the. state bank tax hits been killed in house committee on banking and cur¬ rency, it is intended to bring it before the house for action.

It is said that it does not meet with the approval of committee, some sena¬ tors who arc members of t he ft is understood that this opposition, while considerable, has not been sntli cient to prevent its being reported favorably, though possibly with some amendments. Vs negotiated, the treaty practically sets aside and super¬ cedes the Boott exclusion act nnd the recently enacted Geary law. It is an imigration treaty and provides for the admittance of Chinese immigrants un¬ der restrictions. It also has for its object the pi tion**of Chinese al¬ ready in this eoiftitry.

The eongretw men huve the iiilvantnge of perBoual pressure on the field, but the other side is in evidence in great force in the enormous number of h Iters that burden the presidential mail aud of the telegrams that come so numerously as to keep the wires hot and the white house operator occupied commnnica- to his full capacity. These tions by mail and wire are com ing from all parts of the couutry and ilTe not, as might lie supposed, al¬ together of eastern origin. For in¬ stance, there were appeals from Cin¬ cinnati, Ht.

Of course, it is manifestly ^mpoasiblc for the president to read iu detail all of these communications, but they are carefully examined by Mr. Thurber and any now point or suggestion on either side of the ease is brought to tho attention of the president. There are all sorts of stories afloat ns to tlie president's disposition towards the bill, and some have gone to the length of reciting that he has already pre¬ pared a veto mooHurc and that he read a draft of it to the members of the caliinet.

Mine, Patti and Sig Nieclini have sailed on the Campania for Liverpool. George W. Bowen accompanied them. There was a number of the diva’s friends on the pier to see her off, and in her cabin a garden of flowers testi¬ fied to the good wishes of many others. Henry S. Louchiem k Co., bankers and brokers at Philadelphia, with a large business and reputed to bo very wealthy, have made an assignment to General Louis Wagner, president of the Third National bank. No figures can be obtained, the doors of the bank¬ ing house being closes! and aelmittance thereto refused. An Albany, N. Y., dispatch says: Comptroller Roberts makes a statement regarding the alleged shortage in his office, amounting to $1,600,000. His statement flatly contradicts the report of a defalcation, and shows that the apparent discrepancy is due to rebates of taxes to various corporations, under the law. A very sensational bill has been en¬ tered in the federal court at Chutta nooga. It is that of the Security Sav ings and Loan Association vs. J. S. Buchanan et ul, proprietors of the de¬ funct private bank of Buchanan k Crabb, at Dayton, Tenn. Gross fraud was charged, and the bill seeks to fore¬ close a deed of trust on certain Rhea county property. The baukers have flown the state. The arrival of Hungarians at Turin to pay respect to the memory of Kos¬ suth increases daily. Every train brings hundreds of these mourners, and it is estimated that at least 8,000 will be present at the funeral services. The ceremonies will be held in the Protestant church, after which the body will be taken to the railway sta¬ tion for transportation to Hungary by a special train. A bill has been tiled in the United States district court at Chattanooga before Judge Key, by the Central Trust Company, of New York, to fore¬ close $1,000,000 in first-mortgage bonds of the East Tennessee Land Company. This company has the distinction of having sold the state its coal land on Brushy mountain. For several months its affairs have heoniu the hands of re¬ ceivers, and a petition is now awaiting a hearing asking for their ejection as incompetent. Lazarus Silverman, the well known banker of Chicago,who suspended pay rm •nt hist August, with liabilities of $1,500,000, has resumed business, all of his assets being taken by him out of the hands of the assigneein open court. Ho has liquidated his entire iiulelited ness by paying in full, with interest, to everybody. The suspension was made while Mr. Silverman was on the train on his way from New York to Chicago, and was duo not to lack of assets, but to a lack of ready money. A Denver, Col., Special says: The rebuke of Governor Waite by the su preme conrt has been equaled in severity by the decision of Judge Glynn in the district court upon the proceed¬ ings for contempt instituted by Police Commissioners Martin and Orr, under the writ of injunction issued by Judge Graham against Mayor Van Horn and the new members, Mullins and Barnes. By this decision the injunction Huit is dissolved upon the ground that it was ill based, and the contempt Knit was dismissed. The mountainous district southeast of Monelnva. Mexico, is being swept by forest fires, and during the past few days hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable timber have been de¬ stroyed. The fire has also burned all the grass off a vast territory of good cattle range between Sabinas and the Sierra del Carmen, and hundreds of bead of live stock have perished in the flames. V great many families have been made homeless by the tire, which is rapidly moving in a north-westerly direction. The sons of Louis Kossuth have sent the following telegram to the chief bur¬ gomaster of Budu I’esth : “ Learning of tho serious excesses in the Hunga¬ rian capital, we beseech the public iu the humble name of our father, that there lx* no further trouble. There must tie tranquility otherwise we shall be placed in tho humble position of withdrawing our consent to the trans¬ fer of our father’s body to Hungary.” Upon the receipt of the dispatch the burgomaster issued an address to the people to respect the wishes of the HOU8 of the dead hero.

COXEY’S ARMY Starts on Us March to Ike National Capita'. Coxey’s army of commonweal moved out of Massillon, O., on schedule time. There were perhaps seventy-five in line at the start. Carl Brown, chief mar¬ shal, who headed the procession, was fol¬ mounted on a white horse aud was lowed by half a dozen aides, all mount¬ ed on horses belonging to Coxcy, who rode in a carriage drawn by a pair of spirited steeds. Four covered wagons containing camping outfits, baled straw and several quarters of beef; a brass band and the soldiers of the common¬ weal on foot followed. They marched single file and two abreast, as pleased their fancy. The weather was pleasant when the start was made, but the procession was soon overtaken by a very severe snowstorm. This had a depressing tendency, and a number of desertions were reported be¬ fore Beeduburn,the first stop, was reach¬ ed. After a brief stay at Beeduburn,the army resumed its onward march, and reached Canton where Camp Lexing tan was pitched. Cosey is enthusias¬ tic and claims that the movement thus far exceeds his most sanguine expec¬ tations. On the march from Massillon to Cantc i the army was billowed by a mob of nearly a thousand people in carriages, on horseback and afoot. They made the welkin ring with their cheers and kept Coxey constantly bowing and lifting his hat. On reaching Canton, the army was greeted by fully 10,000 people, who were crowded on the sidewalks and in win¬ dows and balconies along the street. Good liumor prevailed on all sides.

ST, LOUIS BANKS SWINDLED. Three Clever Forgeries iu lVhieli About $200,000 Was Secured. Well matured plans to swindle St. Louis banks were executed the past week by three clever forgers. A dozen banks were victimized, the amount se¬ cured aggregating $200,000. The swindlers by some means secured copies of bank checks used by firms and individuals,even, copying in red tbe serial numbers used by the firms. These numbers wire obtained by a smooth young man who claimed to represent the house doing the print¬ ing for tlie firm. He would ask the business house cashier to see his book, saying there was some de¬ fect in the printing that lie wished to correct if the firm desired. In every instance he was successful in getting a look nt the last stub iu a partly used check hook and noted the serial num¬ ber. The forged paper would be mnde out n few numbers in advance of the check books. Even the minutest char¬ acteristics of individuals in their sig¬ natures were closely followed. So well was the work done that not one of the forged checks was rejected. The offi¬ cials of the different banks refuse any information on the matter, but it is known that a detective agency is at work ou the case. DROPPED THE CASHIER. Crime of a Desperate Bank Robber in Nan Francisco. Frederick Bonnemant entered the branch bank of the Ban Francisco Savings Union at San Francisco and presented to William Herrick, the cashier, a note demanding money and threatening to blow* tip the building w ith nitro-glycerine in the event of a refusal. Mr. Herrick returned the note to Bonnemant without a word, when the latter suddenly drew a re¬ volver and fired, i he bullet, however, missing FLrrick. Herrick there upon quieklv secured a re volver, which was close at hand, and tired simultaneously with the vis¬ itor, but the shot went wide of its mark. Bonnunant’s shot struck the cashier just above the heart, killing him instantly. The assassin then fled, followed by a crowd loudly threaten¬ ing to lynch him. After an exciting chase Bonnemant was captured. A search of his person brought to light a number of articles indicating an anar¬ chistic propensity. The poliee identi¬ fied Bonnemant as William Fredericks, a noted criminal. (■aid in Virginia.

A sjiecial cable to The New York Sun says: “It is learned from an au¬ thoritative quarter that the queen and tbe prince of Wales have given their consent to the Marriage of Lord llose berrvwith princess Maud,of Wales,and the "official announcement may be expected any day. This was the Irasi ness wbich caused Roseberry’s nrgent summons to the queen’s presence on the Saturday before the announcement of Gladstone’s retirement and the mys¬ terious hobnobbing of the ministers on the Sunday following. How the radi¬ cals will relish the leadership of the prince of Wales’ son-in law, who pre¬ sumably, will be peculiarly susceptible influences, remains to be seen. ” to court DEMOLISHED BY DYNAMITE. Works ef I lie Acme Powder Co. Blow Up, Killing Six People. The dynamite works of the Acme Powder Company, at Black’s run, four¬ teen miles above Pittsburg, Pa., on the Allegheny Valley railroad, blew up, killing two men and three women, wrecking houses nt Acmetonia on tho opposite side of the river; at Uulton, two miles south, and at Johnston sta¬ tion, a short distance east. The only person about tho powder plant who survives is Euperint lident James Moo¬ ney. Mooney’s legs were shattered, and will probably have to be amputa¬ ted. The principal owner of tlie plant estimates his loss nt $15,000. Five tons of dynamite were stored in the building, ready for shipment, aud it nil went in the explosion.. To Fight English Capital.

War ti the knife will he declared by the Knights of Labor against twenty or more breweries in St. Louis—controlled by an English syn¬ dicate - -and it is stated that before many months the plant of every brewery con¬ cerned will be absolutely idle, and that millions of dollars of English capital will become unproductive. Affairs in Nicaragua. A special from New Orleans says: The condition in Bluefields,Nicaragua, is as unsettled as ever. Tho English are still in control of the police pro¬ tection of the city, and, iu fact, iu practical control of the entire reserva¬ tion. Lacay remains at Bluefields and refuses to vacate. But liis position is not recognized aud Americans continue to ignore his demand upon them for payment of shipping dues. Prendergast Respited. A Chicago special says: Prendergast has been respited.until April 8th.

He was quiekly ushered out of the courtroom and teturned to jail.

A special from Denver, Col., says: The supreme court has handed down a written reply to the question propound¬ ed by Gov. Waite ns to who arc the le¬ gal members of the lire nnd police board. The decision was substantial¬ ly against the governor. Thf. best, and only sure time to con¬ trol the liquor habit is before it is formed. Brains and brawn make a combina¬ tion that is sure to win.
