Has Never lieen Set Asidc~lt Is a Pact of tlieGeuereral Fund Only. Washington, January 13. —Secre- tary Carlisle today sent to the senate Ins reply to a resolution adopted January 3rd asking “if the sum of §100,000,000 or any part thereof has at any time since the establishment of tho so-called gold reserve been actually segregated or set apart from the other currency or money in the treasury department, in gold coin, or gold coin and certificates, or either, for the redemption of the legal ten der notes and different ferms ot paper money of the governmentV’’ also when and how the gold reserve was established. The secretary says: "The senate is respectfully informed that at no time since the establish ment of the so called gold reserve has the sum of $100,000,000 or any other sum ;ocen segregated, or set apart, from the general cash in the treasury for the redemption of the legal tender aotes of th United States or for the redemption of any other form of paper money for which the United States is liable. There is no provision of law requiring a stipe nds fund or separate account to be kept and all moneys received into tho treasury, from whatever source, are deposited in tli t general cash. The fund for the reilemption of United Stales notes was accumulated nuder authority of the act of January 14.. 1875, which directed the secretary of the treasury to prepare and provide for such redemption on the Ist day ot January, 1579. No specific sum was prescribed, hut 1 lie secretary of the treasury was althsrizcd to use the sur plus-revenues from time to time and to sell certain descriptions of bonds to an extent necessary to cany the act into full effect. ‘‘ln the exercise of the < ■ cretion thus conleredupon him, the secretary sold for redemption purposes in 1877 and,in 1878 United Rtatcs 4 per cent ami -It percent bonds to the amount of $95,u(1u,0()0 and deposited the pro cecii—s9(l,ooo,ooo in gold—in the general cash in the treasury. This, with oilier gold which had been re ceived as surplus revenues, constitu ted the fund prepared and provided by the secretary of the treasury for the redemption directed in the act of January 14, 1875. “The existence of the reserve fund was generally recognized from the time of its establishment as above stated and one of the measures adopted by the secretary of the treas ury to prevsnt its unnecessary deple plotion was the discontinuance ot the Ijssue of gold certificates authorized by the act of March 3, 1863. Tins act authorized, but did not direct, such is sue. “Some inconvenience resulted from this discontinuance and by section 12 of the bank act of .July 12 - 1882, the secretary was authorized and directed to receive deposits of gold coin and bullion and to issue certificates there for; but it was provided ‘that the sec retarv o! the treasury shall suspend the issue of such gold certificates w i.enever the amount of gold bullion i:i the treasury reserved for the r<*. deuiptio’n of United States notes falls below one hundred million dollars.’ •No other reference to the reserve tuitd is contained in the laws of the Unit'd States. J. G. Cahlislu, Secretary.” At the cloe of business today the treasury gold reserve stood at £55,- 409,957. The withdrawals at New York today were $687,000, of which ¥622,000 was in gold coin. Not what we say, but wliat Hood’s Sarsaparilla Does, that tells the story of its merit and puo i ccss. Remember HOOD’S Cures. In Memory of Our Beloved Joel * 1). Gunnels. God in his Providence has seen host to take from out midst, unto him self, our dear boloved friend and brother Joel D. Gunnels, who was born in Franklin county Georgia near Bold Springs church May Ist 1827. When quite young he thought, and as we beliove obtained the pardon of his sins. Ho united himself with the M. E. Church South at Bold Springs He entered immediately into zealous and faithful work in the cause of Christ, which he continued through out bis life. After acquiring a very complete English education, he was married to Miss Martha Parks, daughter of Rev, William J. Parks, and settled on a farm in Hanks County Ga., and was considered one of the most successful farmers tn the country. As minister of the gospel, he was untiring in his efforts to build up the church, as teacher in the school loom, kind and respectful to his pupils ever using every means to advance thuya. Bid Gunnels's history while serving the people in places of trust he is too well known to need any eulogy from us* As clerk of the court, as County School Commissioner, he was always faithful to his trHst. But v e as members of Banksville Grange wish to remembei Joel D. Gunnels more particularly as member and brother. Our Grange was organized Dec. 3, 1873. Ilro. Gunnels was one of the charter members. From its organiza tion, bro. Gunnel* exerted every effort of body aud mind to make the Grange a success, and he made his duty to the interest of the Grange second to none but his <|utv to God. Oh! if we as brethren and sisters of our order had only the zeal of our de parted brother tor. the cause. In filling his place as delegate to the State Grange, he soon made his puwe.bn debate felt in that body ot distinguished brethren, and they soon honored him as efficer ef that august bod y. Bro. Gunnels was elected Secretary of our Grange at the time it was or. ganized and continued to serve us as such Hntil the time of his death which occurred June “Ist 1835. The record of our Grange if pre served will be proof of his proficiency iu farm work and penmanship. AH the correspondence with the state and National Grange was a part of his duty, and in every case gave satisfac tion. Oh! how we loved him. While our hearts are sad yet we should not grieve after our dear brother. God whom lie served no well and so faithful lias organized him into a better and blighter brotherhood where he will continue to love him and serve him through an endless eternity, Resolved, That in the death of our Brother Jo *1 D. Gunnels, we have lost one of our most earnest and most faithful members. Resolved 2 That this momorium be recorded in the record baok of our Grange. Resslved 3 That the Banks County Gazette and Harmony Grove Echo be asked to publish this memorium, and that i copy be furnished the family of our departed brother. 7k A. Neal, Chairman. W. C.
