The Supporters of General Patrick.
From the New York Daily News, that truly
loyal and patriotic sheet, we take the to/low
ing in relation to the woulti-he next New York
State Treasurer:
_ .
" Without reference to political questions,
we are convinced that General Patrick, the
nominee of the Democratic State Convention
for treasurer of the State, will, if elected,
make a good and faithful eivil officer; be
cause his conduct as a military officer in a
trying and thankless position has proved him
to be a gentleman, and a conscientious, hu
mane and honorable man. While provost mar
shal of the armies in Virginia he fulfilled his
arduous and vexatious dutieS with a due re
gard for the rights and feelings of all within
the sphere of his action, and won the respect
and confidence of the citizens, Confederates as
well as Federals speaking of him in the most
glowing terms of praise. He is a candidate
worthy the suffrages of the people of this
:State, of whatever political persuasion."

:NEW Tons, Sept.l7, 1865
ALTERATION OF STOLEN BONDS.
The recent developments show conclusively
that stolen Government bonds have been dis
poSed of to innocent parties by altering the.
numbers thereof. Some bonds recently pur
chased have turned out to be of this character.
The alterations are very skilfully executed,
and are likely to eaeape notice unless closely
scrutinized. It is done by adding a figure
before or after the number of the bond and on
each coupon—thus : bond No. 1.226, by adding
a figure. before or after the number, is made
11,226 on 12,2151, thereby 'rendering the caution
to the public not to negotiate bonds bearing
the original numbers of stolen ones wholly
inefficient. Losses of these bonds by theft is
becoming so frequent of late that it behooves
every one to be on his guard against imposi
tion.

Speculation in wheat is at present as much a
mania with the capitalists of Chicago as "the
oil excitement was a short time ago with our
own people. It has been carried on to such an
extent that the Chicago Board of Trade has
been invoked by the newspapers of that city
to adopt some measures which will at once
Put a stop to it. We conceive that no effectual
good can result front such appeals, as nothing
but the personal losses which speculation en
sures to all concerned can touch the sensibili
ties of that class of reckless adventurers who
hope to profit by fraud and speculation. The

We understand that the difficulty with the
miners in the Lackawanna region, respecting
wages, has been amicably settled. We may
consequently expect large supplies of coal,
that at tint it was thought would be withheld,
and consequently lower prices. It is not the
interest of the coal trade that prices should
run up too high, and we are therefore glad that
the upper tendency should be checked by the
compromise in the Lacawanna Region,
Counterfeit one-dollar legal-tender notes are
in circulation. The specimens we have seen
are poorly executed. The paper is bad, the
color is a much lighter green than the genuine
bill, and the engraving is indifferent. The na

better than any class of bank notes yet in cir
culation. It should be remembered, however,
that the temptation to counterfeiting was never
so great as it is now, from the variety and im
