A Topeka, Kansas dispatch says that old Bender, the murderer has been brought to that city, and has been fully Identified by a number of persons there. Immense crowds sur rounded the jail where he is lodged. According to the latest news the aspect of affair over at Little Rock are anything but prospective of a peaceable settlement of the troubles there. The latest information is to the effect that Baxter has nearly 1,200 men to Brooks' SO0 or 900, and that 500 of Baxter's army are armed with- needle-guns, and the balance with rifles and muskels. i The Galveston JYeuw says Mr. Mil bach, a commercial traveler en route from Gilead to Beeville, in an ambu lance, accompanied by a negro driver, was-attacked by three bandits. One lied Milbach, while the others were searching for money and valuables. Milbach succeeded in getting one arm loose, and drawing a pistol, concealed under his coat, killed two of the high waymen, but was himself killed by the third. The negro managed to es cape with the money and valuables, amounting to several thousand dollars. cremation. Burning the dead instead ofburlal was recently Inaugurated in some of the eastern cities, and that manner of deposing of the deRd appears to be gaining favor in different parts of the country. The following account in the St. Jos Herald will give our read ers an idea of Jhe process. The Her ald is informed that "the new prac tice of cremation has been inaugura ted in Leavenworth. On Thursdaj' a son of Mr. Miller, a brother-in-law of Col. C. It. Jennlson, died at the age of ten years. Yesterday a furnace was built in the yard back of the fam ily residence, and the body was ta ken and placed In It, and iu the pres ence of two or three hundred persons was consumed to asbe. All the phj sicians iu the eity were present, and the experiment gave the most com plete satisfaction. The ashes left at the couslusion of the ceremony filled a piut bottle, and the entire cost of the proceed ure footed up a trifle over five dollars." Besides the satisfaction of having the ashes of your cherished one In a bottle or urn, cremation is claimed to be much cheaper than burying in fine coffins with all attendant expense3, and that if the practice comes into general, use it will conduce to the health of the country by preventing an Infectious malaria, believed often to spring from the unfavorable locar tion of cemetrles, and careless interments. T55E VETO. opmorrs op the pkess. WHAT EUROPE THINKS OP IT, c. The St Louis Globe gives an account of a most singular monstrosity. It is n nbild in Brown countv Illinois, born with what appears to be the thigh, leg i P and foot of another infant, grown fast to the side of its face. The upp er part of this thigh commences at the corner of the mouth, and the leg ex tends upward and acrdss the ear with the foot projecting out behind the head. With the exception of this cumbersome superfluity the child is well and perfectly formed. It -is about three months old and in good health. It is the child of George and Ann Turner. It has been ascertained beyond doubt that old Bender, the greatest murderer of modern limes has been arrested and is, or was in jail recently at 8alt Lake. While he was there confined, hundreds of people, through ouriosity to see the old butcher, flock ed to see him. Two gentlemen who had been well acquainted with him in Kansas, called on him aud recog nized him as the Kansas murderer. Others who had kuown him previous ly also recognized him. The authori ties at Salt Lake have also arrested another man whom is believed to be young Bender, and every exertion is being mads to discover.the balance of the family m t There was but little excitement manifested amongst our people of this locality, in regard to the veto of the currency bill. So far as we have heard expressions of our business men and others, thero is a diversity of opinion, the same as at every oth er place in the West; but a majority of the people regret the President deemed It his imperative duty to take such action in the matter. Some pronounced bitter invectives againBt the President, but sober-minded re fleotive men, who have hitherto be lieved in the honesty of Gen. Grant, while they think he has made a grave mistake, believe he did what he thought was best for the general good and the honor of the country. The widow Pickles and her two eons, Charles and Julian, of Kirks vllle, Mo., recently attempted to as sassinate Dr. Pitman of the same place. They owed the Dr. a consider able bill and sent for him to come to their house and they would pay him. He went, when the mother raised a quarrel with him, drew a pistol from her pocket, butbefore she could shoot, the Dr. took it from her; She then pulled anotherout of the other pocket. He prevented her from shooting by holding her hands until he got out side the door. But there Juliau was ready with a shot gun and shot the Dr. as he attempted to escape, putting a load of small shot into one eide of Ills face and head. The wounds are thought to be not daugerous. The would be murderers were arrested. We are now in receiptof "The Lin coln Daily Blade," Major Caffrey's paper. It Is small as yet, but he promises to enlarge Boon ; but what it lacks in size is made up in quality. We have no need to tell our people here what kind of a paper the Major gets up that it is newsy, lively and full of snap. Iu his third issue is a very able article defining his politics, which has the ring we like to hear that of a true and uncompromising Republican. He commences the ar ticle by saying : 'We are a Republican, and adhere to the organized Republican party because we have au abiding faith in its justice aud generosity, and believe in the great principles upon which its party structure is erected. The pres ent Republican party is the out growth of the world's conscience against the corrosive and bitter wrongs of the past, and in opposition to the oppression of capital upon la bor now and in nil time to come." We wish for the Blade and its edit or long and useful lives and unbound ed financial prosperity. Governor Furnas and his staffseem to be out of luck. That bill to issue muskets to the State of Nebraska sill I hangs fire in Congress. Bee. In what way the Governor and his staff are out of luck with regard to the issue of muskets, there is proba bly not another man In the world ex cept the chronic growler of the Bee able to see. Gov. Furnas, before he applied to the general Government for arms, had hundreds of applications from his people on the frontier, for arms. He made an effort, or "rather Senator Hitchcock did for him. to conform to the wishes of his constit uents, who deemed themselves iu danger of an Indian invasion. Gov. Furnas did all It was possible for him to do in the matter, acquitted himself well, and all intelligent, honest men approve his conduct. Gov. F. has excellent luck, plenty of luck, be cause he has at least two-thirds of the people for his warm friends and sup- The other third we concede to his jealous, snarling, fcnannteh. whining, envious, fault-finding, croaking, malicious enemies, the Bcc being a perfect sample. The robbers who robbed the stage near San Antonio, Texas, are named and described as follows: James II. Reed, alias Bill Jones; he is a citizen of Vernon County, Missouri; is twen-t3'-eight years old, five feet eight inches high, and has a Roman nose ; Is slightly stooping in the ehoulders; light complexion, with n sunburnt aud red lined face ; lias sandy or red dish hair. Another of the party was a Col. H. Carter, also from Missouri, Bates County; about the same height, has dark hair, and is about twent--eight years old ; weight about 13o ; his whiskers and moustache are lighter than his hair. The other is John H. Nelson, alias Jack Rogers, who is a large and young man, being six feet high, fleshy and awkward, and about twenty-two years old. J. M. Dick son, also from Vernon County, Mo., together with a girl named Rosa Mc Comus (whom Reed called his wife,) and Dickson's wife, came to San An tonio about seven weeks ogo, rented a house, and lived together until Tuesday, the 1st instant, when Dick son and the woman left, going to San Marcos, where they arrived on Sat urday, and were joined by the other three men on Monday thereafter. On Monday Dickson and the woman went out to board, and the same day the other three men left San Marcos. The next evening they committed the robbery, and the day after the rob bery their own. horses returned to San Marcos. The robbers have been followed to Fort Concho, and the in dications are that they are en route for Arizona or the Indian Nation. Reed once lived in Bosque County, Mo., and moved from thence to Dal las, where his true wife now resides. Reed, not long ago, killed a man in Bosque County, Mo. A bill has recently been introduced into the U. S. Senate to give a boun ty of eight and one-third dollura a month or at the rate of one hundred dollars a year to every Union soldier who served in the rebellion, without regard to length of time or when ho enlisted. The bounty law heretofore and now is very unjust, as a soldier who served anything under two years Is deprived of bounty. We think exact justice would require ev ery soldier to be served alike and paid for the time they served. Of course those who have received bounty In any manner, will not be entitled un der this law to receive more. It is thought that this proposed nnw law will pass. Our Congressman and Sen ators should interest themselves some what for the passage of the bill, for many or their constituents in this part of the State would be benefitted by it. At a recent meeting of the Trades Union and workingmen of Indian apolis, Ind., th& resolutions follow ing were adopted, in reference to the President's veto of the currreucy bill : Resolved, That we, the Trades Un ion and workingmen of Indiana, in mass meeting assembled, thank Sen ator Morton and our representatives who have so nobly supported the in terests of the Western States in the financial debates and action in Con gress ; and. Resolved, That we urge that they cive no consent to an adjournment of Congress till some satisfactory finan cial relief be granted to the-induBtrial intrests of the West. Chas. McDonnald, city Marshal of Sandusky, Ohio, was reoently run over by a train of cars and killed. He had been on a drunk and is supposed to have gone to sleep on the track,. The Chicago Tribune which hither to ha3 been bitterly opposed to the administration, endorses the veto as follows : President Grant ife- entitled to high com mendation for his veto of the senate curren cy bill. While this hill, owing totheawk-wnrdne-ss and ignorance of the inflationists who prepared and passed It, came farshort of their Intentions, and-was notin itself nrar tlcnlarly bad measure. It contained an ele ment of the gravest figure mischief, since It affirmed the right of Congress to Issue Irre deemable paper In time of peace and mako It legal tender, without providing in any way for Its redemption. The affirmance of this right as to SH.OOO.OOO would have been all the excuse wanted to authorize the Issue of any other cam hereafter. The bill was the first step on a-dowu-hlllcourse.at the bottom of which lies bankruptcy, national dishonor and possible revolution. The President Is entitled to the thanks of the country, aud he shall receive ours, even if he has to forego those of Morton, Logan, Cameron, and the Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Chicago Times calls the infla tionists repudiationists, and says : The first expression that Congress heard was the mere froth of thoughtless or reckless Impulse, or the ory of knavery. It repre sented in no sense whatever the cool judg ment of people who earn what they get, and I are not anxious to lose what they have earned. There is now some ground for a new hope that the repudiationists will not be able to get the country on the high railroad to the devil before the people can apply the brakes. The Chicago Inter-Ocean is a strong and honest advocate of inflation, aud keenly felt the defeat which the veto mposed. That paper says : As Is well known by our readers, we have not commended and could not commend the act as passed by Congress. Its provisions on the snbject of reserves virtually neutralized all the benefits which would otherwise have been afforded by the measure. But this de fect could easily have been remedied by sup plemental legislation, or what would have been still better the House bill for free banking, with modifications suggested by us yesterday, could supersede theSenate bill. The message of the President, however, plainly indicates that he would not approve a bill for even free banking until thereshould be specie resumption. The premises upon which the President founds his conclusions are most extraordinary, and will cause un qualified surprise aud regret among the In dustrial classes everywhere. "The Louisville Courier -Journal (Democratic) endorsiug the veto, says : For a question of such vast Import, un doubtedly the leading issue now before the people. It is singularly exempt from parti sanship. We freely endorse the President's message as an honest document, and In the main an able and statesmanlike utterance one which will contribute much to redeem the character of his other state papers. The great need of the coun try is a termination of the demoralizing doubt and suspense which has been oppress ing us ever since Congress began its bungling patchwork four mouths ago. Let the matter drop out of sight, let the people understand what they are to expect, let every man get about his business, and the tokens of re newed prosperity will soon be apparent on every hand. The Cincinnati Enquirer, always opposed to President Grant 'because that paper has always been possessed oi6irong treasonable proclivities, says : Yesterday Ulysses S. Grant disgracefully broko his pledge, balked the will of the peo ple of twenty-nte Stales, undexhlblted him self as the willing, cringing creature of the Eastern monopolists. Had he been consis tent, he m'ght at least have earned the re spect even of ills opponents. But he has shown an anxiety to heed the behest of the Eastern capitalist, though in so doing he proves a traitor to the people, and stamps himself as a violator of his solemn pledge to the country. The Cincinnati Commercial says : President Grant has hitherto done few things so well calculated to give him honor able distinction as his veto yesterday of tho Senate Finance Bill. Qualities for which, in his military career, lie had eminence, scems suddenly to have asserted themselves. Their exercise so judiciously In such an important juncture was very opportune. He has come to the rescue of his country's honor, aud to the protection of credit from sure disaster at a most critical period. The Cincinnati Gazette regards the effect of the veto in this light: Between the President and Congress, then, the currency will be let alone,' andlhls, of all the propositions that have been made, is the best. There is currency enough, if the people can only be assured that It is not to be Interfered with until the future shall dem onstate the wisdom of a different -policy. Tinkering with the currency is the greatest evil that could be indicted upon the country, and now that we know it Is to bo let alone, people will go about their business under standlngly, and thus bring about such a healthy revival of business asinflation could not have accomplished. This will satisfy in telligent people, who have favored Inflation, that the volume of paper money is sufficient. The Merchants Association of Mil waukee, Wis., passed the following resolutions endorsing tho veto : Resolved. That the warmest thanks of the Merchants' Association of the city of Mil waukee ore hereby tendered to the President of the United Stntes for arresting the course of paper money inflation by the recenfveto. Kesolved, That the officers of this associa tion be instructed to dispatch by telegraph the resolutions to President Grant immedi ately. The Chamber of Commerce of the same city passed the following: Resolved, That thlschnmbpr cordially ap proves the action of the President of the United States In VPtoSng the financial bill recently passed by Congress for the reasons expressed in said veto, and that the president of this chamber be instructed to telegraph to President Grant the thanks of this chamber for said action. The followna cable dispatch to the X. Y. Herald indicates how the veto is regarded in Europe: London, April 23. Only one opinion pre vails in moneyed classes, namely: that Pres ident Grant's veto of the financial bill will act beneficially on American credit. Prom inent bankers, bullion dealers, brokers, and the largest investors applaud the President's action. A correspondent of the Herald nt Paris re ports that the veto message Is extremely well received by the French financiers, bankers and merchants. London. April 21, 6 a. m. Tho Post says President Grant has once more saved his country from great peril. -HIsveto deserves full as much applause and gratitude as the victories of Vlcksburg and the Wilderness. It has no donbt that eventually the West and South will be grateful for the act. The Herald correspondent at Frankfort re echos the reports from other quarters of the excellent impression made by the veto. The St. Louis Republican, Demo cratic and generally hostile towards President Grant, approvingly says : While therewlll be much noisy unfriend liness toward the Presiden t for vetoing this bill, we think the sober, thinking business men of the country will applaud his course. The message is a plain, straightforward doc ument, undertaking no very profound dis cussion of finance, and interposing no con constitutional grounds of objection, but set ting forth some quite cogent reasons for withholding approval. The St. Louis Democrat, while it thinks the President erred iu vetoing the bill says : At the same time we are satisfied that Ih I coming to the conclusions expressed In this mssajre, he has been governed by what he believed to be the consideration of the best Interests of the whole people. He has exer cised his constitutional right, and his con duct is now submitted to the Intelligent judg ment of the people. The St. Louis Gl&bc is well pleased' with the veto. It says :. The message we print to-day is an honest reflex of intelligent public sentiment, and r favorable response to a strong public de mand. The President has rarely 'had so good an opportunity to put himself in hear ty accord with the thinking men of all clas ses, and the admirable manner in which he avails himself of the opportunity will add greatly to the esteem In which he Is held as a careftil observer and a faithful executive. His reasons are plainly stated in plain lan guage, but they combine to make an argu ment which the polish of Jefferson or tho logic of Lincoln could not strengthen. The pivotal point of the message is that the act would be in bad faith to the nation's credit ors, and in violation of distinct and repeated l pledges made by Congress and accepted at different times by each of the great political parties of the country. It will bo hard to controvert this assertion in the face of the testimony which the President cites. THE VETO .11ESSAGE. O1 On-theSL'd inst., the President re turned the Senate currency bill to the Senate with the following message: To the Senate of the United States : Herewith I return bill No. 617, en titled "An act to fyc the amount of the United States' rtotes, and the cir culation of the national banks, and for other purposes," without my ap proval. In doing sol must express my regret at not being able to give my assent to a measure which has re ceived the sanction of a majority of the legislature chosen by the people to make laws for their guidance, and I have studiously sought to find suffi cient argument to justify such assent, but unsuccessfully. Practically it is a question whether the measure un der disscussion would give an addi tional dollar to the irredeemable paper currency of the country or not, and whether by requiring three-fourths of the reserve to be retained by the banks, and prohibiting interest to be received on balances, it might not prove a contraction. But the fact cannot be concealed that theoretically the bill increases the paper circulation $100,000,000, less only the amount of reserves restrained from circulation by the provibions of the second sec-, tion.

To Increase this supply I see no way open but by the govern ment hoarding through the means .The suffering caused by the over flow of the Lower Mississippi river and its tributaries Is immense and probably without a parallel in this oountry from sucli a cause. Citizens of Louisiana suffer most. Along the Ouaohita and Red Rivers, as well as the Mississippi, the low lands are In undated. Thousands upon thousands of acres of thickly settled farming lands are under water, and tho in habitants have had to flee for their lives to the highlands, leaving behind them to the destruction of the flood every thing they had to preserve life. Stock and crops, houses, goods, all go to destruction. Many were unable to to escape and were drowned in their own houses and upou their own plantations some right in the streets of towns. Descriptions are given that are indeed horrifying mothers wad ing up to their breasts carrying their babes above the water, and some be ing carried away by swift currents with their little ones in their arms. In some places as many as twenty sugar plantations in a body are In tirely inundated. In one locality three hundred families were driven from their hornet, and are entirely destitute. Appeals go up continually to the Governor and the Prenident and to the cities of wealth, for help fur provisions to prevent starvation, aud clothing and other things neces sary to preserve life. The response to such prayers have been prompt and Christian like. The Gov. of Louisaua applied to President Grant, who with out waiting the action of Congress ordered assistance to be immediately rendered. Meantime Congress con considered the matter aud passed a resolution authorizing the commis sary of the army to render the neces sare aid at tha expense of the Govern ment. The following will indicate what Is being done for the sufferers : Captain Sullivan, commissary of the army here has notified Gov. Kel logg that he has received instructions from the secretary of war to turn?over to the relief committee half a million rations f.f meat, bread, beans or rice, at tha rate of twenty thousend rations daily. This will supply 20,000 persons twenty-five days. Washington. April 24. Ex-Gov. Herbart to-day received a telegram from the mayor of New Orleans, say ing: "Request President Grant to order rations to be issued promptly, the wants of our peeple are pressing. He who gives quickly gives double to a starving people." The president replied as follows: .Dear Sib: Before receiving the resolution of congress, authorizing the Issue of assistance to the Louisiana sufferers, I directed the commissary general to send nil the rationsof flour, meat, rice and beans he could to the people now in distress. In addition to the above the quar termaster general, with orders from the president, has caused to be sent from the depot at Jeffersonville. Ind., a considerablesupply of flannel blouse jackets, shoes, hats and cap3 to the sufferers. Boston, April 2-4. The fund for the relief of the Louisian sufferers amount to $50,000, with continued subscrip tions. A Monroe, La. dispatch of the 25th says it is impossible to give any idea of extent of the overflow at that place. The water is higher than it has ever been known before to reach. Fully 1,000 people at that town have been without food for three days. The town is on a desert island, and the cattle and the people are starving to death. Nine of the 'richest and larg est cotton producing parishes are in undated, 2,500,000 acres of cotton land and the sugar producing parishes suf fer to an equal extent. The total number of persons that will need as sistance in a short time is estimated at 50,000. ' John Davis, Otisco, Clark Co., Ind., became intoxicated, stnrted home. was run over by a train of car and cut and torn to pieces. His two daughters returning home from church found their father, or parts of him. Both of his legs and Jiunds were out off, part of Iub head gone, which could not be found, and his heart was torn out and cut into frit ters and scattered along the track some distance. The coroner'sjury re turned a verdict of death, by being run over by a train, the deceased be ing intoxicated. At a meeting in Albany N. Y., of the temperance Republicans from various parts of the State, it was re solved to concentrate the strong tem perauce element against the renomi- nation of Gov. Dix, in consequence of IiIb veto last year of the local optiou bill. This was deemed necessary in order to prevent so large an increase in the veto of prohibition party as to giva the State hopelessly to the De mocracy. Alono Winn shot and probably fa tally wounded his wife, at Mason City, 111., recently. He attempted to murder her. o D. J.

The 'assassin is un- knownt . -T I increased circulation, it is luir in ference. therefore, that if in practice the measure should fail to create the abundance of circulation expected of it, the friends of the measure, par ticularly those out of Congress, would clamor for such inflation as would give the expected relief. The theory, in my belief, is a departure from the true principles of finance, national interest, national obligations to cred itors, Congressional promises, party pledges on the part of both political parties, and of the personal views and promises made by me in every annu al message sent to Congress, and in each inaugural address. In my annu al message to Congress In December, 1869, the following passage appears: "Amoncr the evifs growing out of the rebellion, and not yet referred to, is that irredeemable currency. It Is an evil which I hope will re ceive your most earnest attention. It is a duty, and one of the highest duties of the government, to secure to the citizenB a medium of ex change or fixed, unvarying value. This implies a return to specie basis, and no substitute for it can be devised. Itshould bo commenced now, aud reached at the earli est practicable moment cosistent with a fair regard to the iuterest of the debtor class. Immediate re sumption, if practicable, would not be desirable. It would oompel the debtor clas3 to pay beyond their contract the premium on gold at the date of their purchase, nnd would bring bankruptcy and ruin to thousands. .Fluctuations, however, in l he paper value of the measure of all value of gold is detrimental to the Interest of trade. It mnkes the man of business an involuntary eamhler, for in all sale- where future payment i to be made, both parties speculate os to what will be the value of the currency to be paid nnd received. I earnestly recommend to you, then, such legislation aK will injure a grad ual rtturn to ppecle payments, and put au immediate stop to the fluctu ations in the value of the currency " I still adhere to the views then ex pressed. As early as December, 1805, the House of Representatives passe t n resolution by a vote of 144 yeas to fi nays, concurring in the views of the Secretary of the Treasury in relation to the necessity of a contraction of the currency, with a vie.v to as early a resumption of specie payments .s the business Interest of the country will permit, and pledging co-operative action to this end as speedily as posible. The first act pa?s d by the 41st Congress, on the ISth day of March, 1869, was as follows : AX ACT to sterenglhen the public creditor the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uni ted States of America in Congress as sembled, That in order to remove any doubt as to the purpose of the govern ment to discharge all its obligations to the public creditors, and to settle conflfctinir question and interpreta tions of the law by virtue of which such obligations have been contract ed, it is hereby provided and declared that the faith of the United States issol emnly ple'dged to the payment in coin or'its equivalent of all the obligations of the United States and of all the Interest-bearing obligations, except in cases where the law authorizing the Issue of any such obligations has ex pressly provided that -the same be paid in lawful money or other curren cy than gold and silver, but none of said interest-bearing obligations not already due snail be redeemed or paid before maturity, unless at such times a3 the United States notes shall be converfable Into coin at the option of the holder, or unless at such times bonds of the United States bearing a lower rate of interest than the bonds to be redeemed can be sold at par in coin ; and the United States also sol emnly pledges its faith to make pro vision at the earliest practicable peri od for redemption of United States notes in coin. This uct still remains as a continuing pledge of the faith of the United States to make provision at the earli est practicable moment for redemp tion of the United States notes in coin. A declaration contained in the act of June 20, 1864, created an obliaation that the total amount of the United States notes issued, or to be issued, should never exceed S400.000.000. Theamount iu actu::I circulation was acutually reduced to $356,000,000. at which point Congress paed the act of Feb. 4, 186S, suspending the further reduction of the currency The $44,000,0)0 have even been re garded a reserve to be u-ed only in case of an emergency, such us bus occurred on several occasions, and must occur when, from any cause, the revenues suddenly fail below the expenditures; and -uch a reserve is neoesary because the frae tionul currency, amounting to$o0 000. 000 is redeemable in legal r -iider on cull. It may be said 'hut u eh re turn of fractional cnrrenev for redern ption is improbable, but let -teps be taken for a return to a specie b'isis and it will be found that ilver will take the place of fractional currency as rapidly as It can he supplied. When the premium on gold reaches n snffi oiently low point, with the amount of United States notes to be issued per manently fixed within the proper limits, and the Treasury so strength ened as to be able to redeem them in coin on demand. It will be then safer to inaugurate a system of free bank ing, with such provisions as to make compulsory redemption of circulating notes of the banks In coin or United States uotes. themselves redeemable and made equivalent to coin. Asa measure preparatory to free banking, or for placing the government in a position to redeem its notes in coin at the earliest practicable moment, the revenues of the country should bo in creased so as to pay the current ex penses, provide for the sinking fund required by law, and also a surplus to be retained in the Treasury in gold. I am not a believer in any artificial method of making paper money equal to coin, when coin is not owned or held ready to redeem the promises to pay, for paper money Is nothing more than promises to pay, and is valuable exactly in proportion to the amount of coin that it oau be converted; into. above given, and possibly bv rpquir- ing"the national banks to aid. It if claimed by the advocates of the meas ure herewith returned, that there is an unequal distribution of the bank ing capital of the country. I was dis posed to give great weight to this view of the question at first, but on reflection it will be remembered that there still remains $4,000,000 of auth orized bank note circulation assigned, to States having less than their quota which is not yet taken. In addition to this, the States having less than their quota of bank circulation have tho option of twenty-five millions more to be taken from those States having more than their proportion. When this Is all taken up, or when specie payments are fully restored i r are in rapid process of restoration, will be the time fo consider the ques tion of more currency. U. S. Grant.
