The Treasury Department is repor
ted now to bo the purchaser of oil the
bullion yielded by the great Eilvcr
mints ou the Conjslock lode for coining
ioto money, to tako the place of the
present fractional currency. It will re
quire about 810,000,000.
Tho Milwaukee Wisconsin thinks it a
niodciato estimate to say th.it tho proba
ble yield of wheat in Wisconsin will he
at least 30,000,000 bushels, Rescrv
iug 5,000,000 for homo consumption
and seed, tho farmers will have a sur
plus of 25,000,000 bushels, and the
prospect dow is that they will get at
least $1 per bu.-hcl lor their wheat. II
bo, this would distribute ?23,O0J,0O0
lor the single crop nl wheat.
Tho full count of money in the cash
vault ol the Treasury is completed, and
agrees exactly wuh Gen. Spinner's ac
count of what it contained. Even the
estimate of 3-0 shortage made when the
currency was counted and the trold ta
ken accoidiug to the tuaiks ootliu bags
lias disappeared, and t'10 count comes
out exactly right. AH the oiu trat
was in any deg.ee wuu was aciual'y
counted. The new coin was cju.iIcu
by weighing it aud everything proved
to a cent. The contents of the vault
were 810,00000, of which nearly 81,
500,000 was coin.
Tho Republican prospects in Pennsyl
vania never looked brighter than it dues
this year. Tho uuaniinous reuotnina
tioo of Governor llartr.iuft is utani
inously endorsed by republicans oil
over the State. The placing of Henry
Rawle of, Eric on tho ticket for State
Treasurer gives equal satisaction. The
party is a unit everywhere in support
of the ticket and its election appears to
be regarded as a foregane ccuclusiou by
llepublicans and Uemocra's alike. The
Dnly thiug that Kepublicans will have
to fear this fall is the apathy that
might possibly result iroin over-confidence.
licudiii'j blssputt h.
Tho doetrino that druukeuuess is an
excuse for ciimiuality, says a Philadel
phia Times correspondent, is equally
novel and dangerous. About fifty years
ago a writer in JJiackicuod's Migar.inc
presented this opinion to its readers:
"No man does when lie u drunk what
ho would not do when sober, if lie
dared." This appears sound and will
bear examination. Drunkenness does
not change the nature ol a man; it only
removes fear and restraint. Drink does
ijot make a pious man profane or u
chaste man licentious. The old Latin
maxim, In vino Veritas, is luscd upou
this idea. A man who murders a el
low bciug when drunk is u murderer
at heart.
Tho question of the annexation of
Canada to the United Slates has exci
ted :io:o or less discussion iu that
couutry, nud has been commented upon
freely both pro and con. Lord DuHeriti
in a speech recently delivered iu Lou
don, alluded to this subject, and said
that Canada is, unalterably attached to
the English govenrjieut, l!ut the
Toronto Lender diputes this and says
the secessionists are ttroug enough to
frighten English capitalists from invest
ing money in tho province. Capital
seems to bo essential to tho develop
ment of that country, and as soou as
Canada becomes a foreign country the
capital of London will go to other prov
inces. The annexationists are led by
one Mr. Huntington of the Canada
cabinet, who, it Beerns is a warm ad
mirer of our institutions, and under his
guidance the secessionists are on tho in
crease. The legislature of New York last
wiutcr appointed a special committee- to
uveslijjate and rcpoit upon the causes
of crime in great cities. For a number
ol months past this eouiuiiUee has been
busily engaged iu obtiuing tcstiuiorJ.
It has visited Buffalo which iu come
aspects of crime is nearly upon a par
with Manhattan inland aud other
provincial cities, and now Las fiually
located in New York, where a vast
amount of testimony has been already
taken. The committee bus unearthed a
startling amount of police corruption
and a batch of police captains Lave
been directly implicated in participat
ing in wholesale system of bluck-mail
upou houses of prostitution, pa unci
bouses, keuo cribs, and other resorts
where gambling and crime are
practiced. The proprietors of these
vile places are assessed a certaiu amount
of money per mouth, and aie given iu
return ample police protection, while
thote people who refuse to "come dowu'
are promptly taken iuto custody, and
made examples of in the courts. There
tre other states which might profitably
imitate the example of New York iu
appointing a special and competent
committee to investigate and report
upon tie causes of crime.

A swordfish weighing three hundred
pounds wus rocoatly n by the return

it.
The Indianapolis Smlincl says that
all I ho pu'soncrs in tho penitentiary at
Jolict, 111., were afforded a fair oppor
tunity to escape on tho rV:h of July, but
respected their parole, aud went back
to their cells without any attempt to do
so.
No less than twenty-nine trade marks
have already been secured in tho Patent
Ofiiee lor the word "Centcnuiel," us
applied to various articles of manufac
ture, such as perfumes, "ihnanacs, cigars
blacking, bitters, shirts, watches, and
even laer beer.
At Halifax, N. S., a circus has fal
len iuto tho hands of the bailiffs. A
(inn of printers seized several of its et
fects for debt, among tho rest a fierce
lion. They anuouueo that they aie go
ing to put this animal to vise iu collect
ing bills of refractory patrons.
A gambler in Iowa, to escipe arrest,
attempted to cross a river with a pucket
bouk between his teeth, flis strength
or skill not proving adequate, ho was
obliged to open his mouth in order to
call for help, and his pocket-book, con
taining 81,000, went to the bottom.
At Atlauta, Ga., last autumn, a negro
built a coop" six feet by seven, iuio
which bo put a doz.m patiidgcs, the
trrouud being first covered With glass
Duriuj; the winter they thrived, iu the
spring they mated, laid eggs and
hatched out several broods of youog,
aud the negro now has about sixty
young partridges, all doing well. They
arc tame, bculthy and seem be couten
ted. Pottsvillc, July 22. This morning
about 1 o'clock, another atteufbt was
made, with coal oil aud cottou to burn
another portion of Independence Square
Shamokiu, The fire was got under con
trol in a short lime, only burning parts
of two houses. The damage by fire is
slight. This is tho seooud attempt
wiibiu two weeks to burn that town by
incendiary fires being started in the
square. 5y the former attempt several
stores aud a dwelling were burned.
Washington, July 23. The Govern
ment has purchased at New Orleans the
steamer Planter, a cnnll boat, drawing
but four feet of water, but strongly con
structed. She will be properly armed
and manned, and sent to the liio
Giandefor duty on that liver, to pre
vent Mexicans crossing into Texas and
running off cattle. The Planter lias
been ordered to Mubilo Lieutenant
Commander D. C. Kells detached irom
the iionclad Cauonicu3 and sent to that
city to take command of the now vessel.
It is said one or two o'.her si earners of
similar chat actor will be purchased and
fitted out to act with tho Planter in the
suppression of Mexican depredations.
Cincinnati, July 22. Reports irom
the entire length of the Ohio valley to
night show that one of the heaviest rain
(alls of the season has occurred iu the
past twenty-four hours. At Evansvil'c
three inches ot rain (ell to-day. At
Yinccnucs rain fell in torrents; beating
down grain, corn and grass. It is esti
mated that ten thousand acres of com
in tho Wabash bottom arc under water.
The Wabash river is rising rapidly,
threatening an overflow of the cutirc
bottom. Through Southern Ohio and
Kentucky all streams are reported lisiug
rapidly. The Kanawha river at
Charleston, West Virginia, has risen fif
teen feet ia the past tweutv-four hours.
Great damage lo crops must necessarily
result from this severe storm.
WrUiDg of the trrasshoppcr depreda
tions in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska,
a special correspondent ol the Chicago
Tribune, sent tuc with instructions to
make a miuute survey of tho field, says
that tho damage, aside from the loss of
the small grain crops, done thus far, is
the loss of about sixty days' labor iu the
best part of the season, of au agricul
tural population of about two huudrcd
thousand persous. Tho larmers are
spariug no efforts to iosure a crop, if
hard work can do it. But very little
plauting remains to be done in cither
State; aud- within the grasshopper dis
trict, not only have the corn fields' been
lcplautcd, but about two-thirds ol the
wheat fields that wcro ",rasshoppercd"
have beeu plowed and planted with corn
tho Canada and other varieties gener
ally. Besides millet and rutabages
have been sown in large quantities, and
the prospecss o( a full yield are repor
ted to bo excellent.
Mrs. Lincoln's metal condition is un
improved. She remains in the insaue
asylum at Batavia, 111., wbeie she La
careful attendance, and is ofted visited
by her lclativcs. Although she dresses
shabbily her mind is constantly occu
pied with plans for new clothing. A
iriend who saw her there recently says:
"As she shook hands with me at parting
I thought I could prcceive in the diplo
matio bow and smile a return of tho old
socic'y manner, and my heaat was full
for the woman who sat down sileut and
ilone in her little solitary room, to keep
imaginary company with Senators and
Ambassadors," It has been urged that
tl.'sisu development of bcr life among
Spiritulists, but it is the result of scenes
photographed on the brain which only
tho angel of ,death can erase. Mrs.
Lincolu did spend several months at St.
Charles, in this State, under an assumed
Dame, and in tho company ot a society
of Spiritulists; but it will never be de
finitely kuown how much their influence
bad to do with her eclipse of reason.
