The specifications under tho first charge, after reviewing the transactions between Gen eral f wain aud Banker A. E. Bateman, allege: * First. That the former accepted from Bati- man & Co., an acknowledgement of deposit of $5,610, which was a simple memorandum, and that alter withdrawing nil but $33.89 ot that sum, he assigned and transferred tho written r ein owledgement to tho firm of Bright, Hum- j hteys & Co., and did thereupon knowingly and fraudulently seek, through said firm named first, to compel "Bateman tfc Co. to cash $3,000 acknowledgement, thus attempting to commit fraud upon said Baton an A Co. Tlit second specification alleged that Swaiin imj rotierly sought, in a personal interview with A. E. Butcmau, to avoid and prevent an investigation, and to obtain from him a letter ret reeling Ihc charges preferred. The third specification alleges that when tho giavo and serious charges were ??? referred to Gcturai Swnim, and had been publicly cireu- nitd. he failed to demand or request an inves tigation by a court of inquiry, but addressed a letter of explanation and denial to. the secre- toiy of war, which was evasive, uncandid aud false, ami calculated and intended to deceive ihc secre tary of war, and in several purliculars rtending his transactions with Bateman. The fouith specification alleges that Swains, upon learning that certain bunkerj had cn- tirul into a combination to secure tho rein- Luri???t ment ol sundry sums of money advanced l-y them to Lieutenant Colonel A. i\ Morrow, of the Sixth cavalry, on fraudulent pay nc- ??ounts, and that the value of said combination ih pended upon???Colonel Morrow's immunity from trial for tho utterance of fraudulent pay recounts, did threaten to uss his official position and his knowl edge so as to cause tho dismissal tf Morrow from the army, or to other wise im- | air the value of tho securities given by Mur-??? low to the bunkers, unless they provalc I for the payment of the claim of $115 held by him (Swaiin) agniutt Morrow. The second charge, that of neglect of duty, is lured upon JHvnim's failure to report tho facts, or to procure the prosecution of Cofonol Morrow, on the charge of duplicating p iy counts, when the evidence of tho ofieneo caino to-his knowhdge through tho information re ceived from Bateman. The witnesses named to support tho above charges and specification are A. E. fialoman, John E. Beall, J. Stanley Brown, Robert T. Humphrey, David B. McKibben, A. I\ Mor low, M. M.

A C'crtmctfon of ??3'4,000,000 Hlirvivn to Have Token ITnee In Hovcn .Months. Warbixoton, July 30.???Tho following Mate* men in rcgoid to tho contraction of tho aggre gate circulating medium during tho last session of congress is based on information obtai >cd at the treasury department. On Dcecmbor 1st, D>3, silver dollars in circulation sido of tho United .States treaiury amounted to $41,301,983; silver certifioites to $87,970,261; gold certificates to $58,897,620: national bank notes to $343-,998,787, and legal tender notes to$300,806,372. On July I, 1881, the same items were, silver dollars $39,791,913; silver certificates, $96,427.011; gold certificates, $71,140,640; national bank notes, $325,337,800, anil legal tender notes, $.300,497,215. These figures show a decrease of $1,507,070 in silver dollars, an increase of $8,450,810 in silver cer tificates; an increase of $12,249,020 in gold cer tificates; adcereaec of $18,600,927 in nntionnl bank notes and a decrease of $.109,457 in le- jpd tender notes. The result is an apnaront I ncresec of $222,676 in tho aggregate circula ting medium of the country outside of tho emeunts held in tho treasury. This apparent inrria??e, however, is duo to an increase of SI2,249,020 in gold certificates, which ii tnero- y circulation in tho form of certificates of gold, which was already in the hands of tho pi i pic ami the bonks. In other words, tho scarcity of paper currency caused >y the decrease in the nation il ank circulation induced tho people o use their gold, and they denosited it to ob tain more convenient gold certificates. De ducting, therefore, this $12,249,020 show* a II nl contraction for the seven months ending June SO, 1884, of about $12,000,000. In addi tion the exportation of gold from tho country xeredod the importation during tho same y tried by $32,494,326, while the gold produc tion of the mines of the country is estimated to have been about $12,000,000. -The net Iojj i f gold w as therefore about $20,000,00 ). This edded to the contraction of other forms of currency before shown, to amount to about 12,000,000, make* tho total contraction of circulating medium of tho untry outside of the tressury of about $32,- COO,Ltd. It is asserted in the office of tho c?? wptroller of the currency that the Me- Ph?? non bill, which failed to become a law, would have at once added about $30,000,040 to the national bank circulation of the country, and would have compensated for the severe contraction which has occurred.

Colonel Rcnfroe is in excellent hoalth and is genial, happy and contented. Tim Constitu tion n?cn remarked on his absence from the city. Coltnel Renfroe replied: ???I cannot well bo here, although I canaidor this mjr home and shall always do so. I am managing the Dado coal company for Gover nor Brown, which takes moat of my time, aj it is an immense concern." "I thought you were railroading?" ??????So.I have been. I have juiftejmpletod tho Anniston and Atlantic railroad, and at you know, have done considerable railroad build ing iu Georgia. I had a bid in for tho entire Anniston and Atlantfc railroad when I made the contract with Governor Brown to mnnago the coal mine. I then hoped that my bid for the railroad would not be accepted???but it wai, end I therefore built tjie railroad, and ran the ci al mine at the name time." '???You are out of politics?" ???Yes, I am, except when I can help my friends; then I nin always in." ???Row about your old oliicoof Btuto troaa- urrrV" . ???J am glad you asked mo that question, for it gives me an opportunity to answer many persons at once. Hero arc some letters now, (pulling a bundle out of hi* pocket,) requesting mo to offer for the place. I have other letters of the some sort at home, and wherevor I go I am asked the satno question bv partial friends who believe that I ought to offer again and that I can bo elected. You may say for mo and I hope tho auswer will ren di them all, that I would not oiler for tho offica again under any consideration. Tho fact is I could not a (ford to, for it is without doubt tin poorest offico in tho gift of tho pooplo. That is a hard way to characterise it, and yet it is the true way. It is a Very laborious ofiles to fill, aud the great responsibility, the cnormou* Lond and the small salary makes it tho moat und< sirablo ofiico in tho gift of tho people. Why, sir, it is worth tho salary to make the bond. Under tho present law a security has to go before a magistrate and make affidavit that lie is worth the amount signed for over and above all debts, liabilities and executions of all kinds, which oath has to bo attached to the 1 oud. and u lion is created by tho bond iu favor of the state on all ol his property from tho munent he signs tho bond, and it is a tw??) hundred thousand dollar bond, at that. Why, the state of New York, where tho treasurer re ceives and disburses eight million* of dollars annually, requires a bond of only fifty thou sand dollars t Our law isAvrongl What docs, this heavy bond amount to, anyway, if a man is dishonest? Tho treasurer handle* two mil lions ol' didhirs, and if ho were disposed to bo dishonest, his bond would not protect tho state even if it were collected. Tho honoity and integrity of the man is all tho security tho state hns at least no matter what tho nrnouut of his bond is. I say, therefore, I would not have tho oilico now if it was tewlcrod jno ns a gracious gift. I get a much lorgor ??? salary where I am without tho great responsibility, and with very much less labor." ???And, then," said Mr. Bcitfroo, reflectively/ "when I do rnythlng mcrltorii it is apnrccwled. ??? Not so will learned while I was stato treasurer from very 1 ittcr experience tho truth of tho old adaga that republics nro ungrateful, held that offico for six long years md If there ever was one thing above another that my whole heart and soul wus i?? ileslro to disclmrgo the duties of tho of fice to the satisfaction of the people of Goorgia. I sacrificed everything to that one purpose, I labored earnestly to cut down expense* wherevor and whenever it was in my power to do so, and I know that I did by a change of pol???cy eavo the state thousands ol dollars. For example, it hail been customary in tho trci surir???s cflico to pay commissions to bank ers and brokers to sell and negotiate her bonds.* I sold $542,000 of so veil percent bonds in 1870 at a premium of $2,312 moro than enough to pay mj sal ary for tho year. I isiucd ???old and exchanged $2,298,000 of six per cent bonds in 1877, and also $100,000 of four per ccut bonds In 1870 and 1880. All of this 1 did without paying one cent of commhsions, a feat which up to that time was unprecedented, as commissions had always boon paid for every bond sold. I was not oven paid iho usual fee for extra work for signing over $75,000 of cou pons,which fee would hovo amounted to nearly a year's salary at tho prlcos paid to former treasurers. There is another item that 1 will mention. It had always beeu tho custom to pay the fiscal agent of the stato in Now York from a quarter to a half per cent, which amounted from two to four thousand dollars a year. As soon as 1 got hold in tho treasury 1 put n atop to that, and by this ono item saved enough to the state every year to pay my salary aud that of my clerk. Iu addition to this I have in my possession now nn agree ment fig nod by the officers of the. National Fork I auk, who I appointed fiscel agent, that besides making no charge for pitying tho state'M debt ok it matured in New York, they would lend ti> the state money whenever it needed it at five per cu t per annum. This wr t on con tra* t I now have in my poscssion, and were it still in force tho state would have uo trouble in getting all tho mouey it wanted and -would never have to pay sev ore many ether items could mention If it were proper. 1 ' But you will not oiler again for the offico?" 'No, sir. I feel very grateful to my friends ??? I /..lit. rliti.iiAl'nln 4 f. I *wl CATTLE EPIDEMIC. Tlio Texas Fever Causes the Death of fiOO Ileail???The Details From tho Herds.

But as 1 said before, I coul l not consent to take the office under any considera tion if it wero offered to me. It it a matter of profound satisfaction to me that in retiring from tb# treasury I was able to point the people of Georgia to tho ex alted financial condition of our great stato and to fei-1 that in ail matters pertaining to the state's welfare within the scope of my official authority, I have exercised sleepless vigilance nr:d in all matters of economy I have been watchful. In the systematic methols iu the many details of the office and the legal expen ditures of large amounts of money for the state, I have faithfully ilischurged my duty and turned over to my successor .every cent of the state???s mon ey that had ever come into my hands. I now prefer to remain a private citizen for the re mainder of my days, and to devote my time to repaying those friends who, through ihfck end thin, stood by me with a devotion that U rarely equaled." Colonel Renfroe spoke with much feeling at d evident sincerity, but looked moro cheer ful and contented after ho had had his say on this subject and dismissed the matter from bis mind. There is no happiness," he said, ???Dae be ing sn independent private citizen, with your hands full work and a competency for your h mily.
