The amount of legal- tender notes of the denomination of 9*1 out­ standing at that uato was $20,2;>7,109, and of twos $20,035,525 ; total, $40,202,034, and the increase since that date to Nov. I, 1880, has been $3,404,584. Thus it will bo seen that wlii'e small notes of national banks have been reduced moi£ than £.4,000,000 ($4,219,025) in compliance wiih the law since the date of resumption, the legal-tender notes of tho same denomination have been increased $3,491,584. Tho total amount of these denominations of both kinds outstanding Nov. 1, 1880, is $47,- 283,940; total iucrta-*e during the year, £3,- 365,575. The decrease during the year previ­ ous was $3,649,451. Of the entire amount of national-bank and legal-tender notes now out­ standing nearly 7 per cent, consists of $1 and $2 notes, more than 31 per cent, of $1, $2, and $5 notes, and more than 58 pc-r cent, is in notes of less denomination than f 20, and 80 percent, is in notes of lower denomination thai* $50. Of entire issue about 20 per cent, is in denominations of if50 and upward. The amount of circulation of the Bank of France Jau. 30, HS79, was $458,194,168, show­ ing an increase between that time and Jan. 29 of $6,100,707. The Imperial Bank of Germany issues no notes of less denomination than £7.50, and tho Bank of France issues but about $2,000,000 in notes of let s denomination than f 5. The Bank of England issues no notes less than $25, and the Banks of Ireland and Scot­ land none less than $5. The amount of circu­ lation in this country in denominations of $5 and under was $214,326,838 on Nov. 1, 1880. In tho foreign countries named a large amount of silver aua go'd coin of lower denominations enters into general circulation. It will be im- of small gold coins or silver dollars nnless coin­ age of the latter is restricted and small notes withdrawn. The total amount of United State* bonds held as (teeurity for circulating notes on the 1st of Novemler, 1830, was 4359,748,959. On Oct. 1, 1865, the total amount of bonds held fortius purpose was $276,250,550, of Which $199,397,- 950 was in 6 per cents, and ®76,852,600 in 5 per cents. On Oct. 1, 1870. banks held $216,891,- 300 of 6 per cents, and $95,942,550 of 5 per cents. Since that time there has been, to Nov. 1, 1879, a decrease of #185,211,560 in 6-per­ cent. bonds, and an increase of $51,137,200 in 5 pel cents. Banks now hold $36,938,950 of 4>£ per ccnts., which have been deposited since Sept. 1, 1876, and $119,075,100 of 4 per cents., which have been deposited since July 1, 1877. During the year $19,243,300 of 4 per cents, have been with­ drawn, chiefly for the purpose of realizing large premiums on thcBO bonds, and #22,370,750 of 5 per cents, deposited, which will mature iu a few months. The batiks still hold $8,000 of 6-per­ cent. 5-20 bonds and f 526,900 5-ptr-cenL 10-40 bonds, upon which interest has ceased. They also hold $146,552,850 of 5's of 1831. which are redeemable the 1st of next May, $2,010,000 6's of 1881, payable the 1st of January next, and $50,432,150 6's of 1881, which are redeemable the 1st of July next, Tht) large numbcMttf 4-per-cent. bonds recent­ ly withdriwra taMj^mftU-easury by the national mi i iihimli " t&g'tf ol"the pri^NlpPHrGftooi premuim cum- inanded by those bohSs to roalize a profit equal to three years' accraed interest. Ou July 1 there was on deposit in the treasury to secure circulation of national-bank notes and Govern­ ment deposits about $134,000,000 of 4-per-cent. bonds, and about §143,000,000 of 5-per-cent. bonds. The amount of 4-per-cent. bonds now on deposit is about $118,000,000, and of 5-per­ cent bonds over $159,000,000, thus showing . , . , J . . . .

The decrease of $8,500,- 000 between 1879 and 1880 is represented by the reduction in the gold balance ol $34,000,000, and an increase in the silver coin and bullion on hand. Tho influences tending to the de­ crease of the gold balance have been primarily the scarcity of notes, compelling payments of a daily balance to the New York Clearing-House in gold coin. There has been but a small amount of United St'ites notes and gold certifi­ cates presented for redemption in gold coin. There has been during the year an increase in the silver coin of $15,977,970 in standard dollars, and of $7,849,994 m fractional silver coin. Note assets, including balances due from de­ pository banks.haved* creased from $107,661,287 ui 1877 to $93,417,282 in 1878, to $63,926,653 in 1879, and to $42,402,314 in 1880. The steady decrease, the Treasurer says, is duo iu great measure to tho withdrawal of notes caused by the presentation of Cleariug-Houso certificates for redemption, tho amount of these certifi­ cates outstanding having been reduced from *31,335,000 in 187SUo $9,975,000 in 1880. Another reason lor the smalluess of the note balance, Mr. Gilfillan adds, may be found in tho falling off in the note receipts, the revenues of the Government being now largely paid in coin and silver certificated. (from the tables of assets and labilities of the Government for Nov. 1, 1879, and-Nov. 1, it to shown that ob Nov. 1, 18Ml there mm* Mrs. EsTELiiA Anna Lewis, the au­ thoress of "Sappho" and other poems under fde^rcaKe iu 4 l^r ^ntH. jjf jibout $16,000,000, the nom de plume of " Stella," died suddenly at London of heart disease.

The Cabinet adopted Mr. For- ster's views, and adjourned not to meet till after Christmas. , and an increase in 5 per cents, of about a like amount. In subotitutiug the 5 for tho 4-per­ cent. bonds the banks realize the premium on the latter, and can replace them with 5 per cents, at about par. The substitution has tak­ en place for the most part during the past six weeks, and at presnt the 4 per cents, are be­ ing withdrawn atethe rate of about $700,000 per day. All of the 5 and 6-per-cent. bonds now held by national banks, with the exception of Pa­ cific railway bond.', will mature on cr before July ), 1881, and will probably be replaced by bonds bearing interest at 4 or 4Yi per cent., only new bond'), hereafter to be issued by au­ thority of Congress, bearing a less rate of in­ terest. The amount of bonds held by national banks Nov. 1, 1880, was $403,369,350, and the amount held by other banks and bankers of the country in the above table is $228,053,104..

The Government has fur tho past fifteen years an­ nually received an average of more than $3,000,000 of taxes upon deposits, upon a sys­ tem unknown elsewhere in ar.v countrv, and it is certainly but just that it should bear the ex­ penses of redemption of tho-e notes from cir­ culation, of which it receives the entire beuefit. The total amount of national-bank Rotes re­ ceived for redemption by the Comptroller of the Currency and at the redemption agencies of the treasury during tlic year 1880 is shown to li&vo been $60,098,940. The number of bank notes which have been issued since or­ ganization of the system is 137.677,219, varied at $989,008,985. Of these 98.036,566, valued at $641,005,534, have been redeemed, and 38.740,653, valued at $342,063,451, were still outstanding on Nov. 1, 1880. The amount of national-bank currency destroyed during the year ending Oct. 31, 1880, was s: 35,539,6G0. Tho Comptroller says: The total losses charged off by banks daring the y>ar were ',081, tion. The amount of gold coin ana bumon in the treasarv Jan. 1, 1879--the date of the resumption or specie payments--was $136.- 382,639, and at this date---Nov. 1--it ib $140,725,952, and in addition there have accumulated in the treasury $47,084,459 .in standard silyer dollars. This redemption of United States notes in gold since the resump­ tion of specie payments has aggregated $11,- 963,336. Since the order of tho Department of Jan. 1, 1879, authorizing th" recupt of Uuited Stales notes for customs duties, there have been rectived on that account §142,323,601. Tiie total coinage of standard silver dollars •under tho act of Feb. 28, 1878, has been $72,- 847,750. Of this amount $47,588,106 are in the treasury and in the mints, and $25,259,644, being more Shun 34% per cent, of the coinage, are in circulation. The Treasurer instances banks which have reduced and forthwith increased their circula­ tion to the former amount with the avowed ob­ ject of relieving themselves from the trouble and expense of redeeming their notes through the redemption agency, as required by law, and says: "It w plain that such transactions as these are not within the spirit of the act of June 20, 1874. That act authorizes the de­ posit of legal tenders by any national bank desiring to withdraw Its circulation in whole or in part. A wish to surrender circulation, with tho reserved intention of taking out more at once, or as soon as a fall in the price of bonds shall make tho transac­ tion profitable, is not, it is submitted, such a desire to withdraw circulation as tho law con­ templates. It could neither have been intend­ ed nor expected that the law would become the means of enabling batiks to operate in securi­ ties of the Government deposited to securo the redemption of their notes, or to throw upon the United States or other banks of tho coun­ try the expense of redeeming their notes while maintaining and enjoying the full circulation to which the law entitles them." Report of the Commissioner of Pen* sions. The Annual report of the Commissioner of Pensions shows that on the 30th of June last there were 250,802 persons receiving pensions from the Government. The annual pension; average $103, an aggregate for all of $25,917,- 906. Exclusive of arrears the payments for the year amounted to $37,046,185, of which $12,- 468,191 was accrued pension in new cases. The total amount paid out for pensions during the year was $57,026,994. Commissioner Bentley estimates it will require upward of $50,000,000 to pay tho pensions for the current year. The number of cases ia which arrears of pensions has been allowed up to Nov. 1--date of report--is 43,917. Tiut average in each case is £560. A table is given showing the number of pen­ sioners lx>r:K| upon the rolls at the end of each year from 1861 to 1889 and the amount of money paid out tor pensions each year. The total amount for twenty years is $455,718,504. Ti;o Hccoiul Auditor, in his annual report, Li's the following summary as to the condition of the unadjusted claims for arrears of pension and bounty : Thi; total number of claims remaining on hand June 30,1830, was 29,470--namely : »nvara of pay aud b iimty to white soldiers.. .17,164 Add.tion&l bjuuty uiulor tbo act of July 2a, lHfJS 2,636 Arrears of pujr and bounty to colored soldiers.. 9,533 Three mouths' extra pa; to soldiers who served ia the war with Mexico, act Feb. 19, 1879 158 Total 29,470 It will be observed that comparatively few of the claims for three mouths' extra pay to sol­ diers of tho Mexican war, so far presented, have been alio *ed. The whole number filed up to June 3D, 1880, was 3,966, of which only lffl nave been paid, wnile 8,638 were rejected, and 158 re­ main on hand for adjustment. The time for tiling claims for additional bounty under the act of J uJy 28,1866, expired on June 30 last. Many ••laimanUi do not appear to be aware of this, although the fact has been repeatedly pub- lishod. Claims continue to be presented, but, as the accounting officers cannot entertain them, they are at once returned to the claim­ ants. Unless the time for filing this eUss of claims bo further extended by Congress I an­ ticipate that the next annual report witt shew that ail have been disposed of. meager appropriation tor 1879 would have ren­ dered it entirelv inadequate to tho wants of the people." Ho fm ther says he has carefully reviewen tho esti notes submitted by Gew. Bfsdy for the next fiscal year's mail transport tation in all its branches, and approves all of Diem as being in accordance with the probable requirements of the service. An appropriation is recommended for continuance of special mail facilities on railroads, such as extra trains with mails only, gnd acceleration of regular trains carrying mails, etc., which the people have enjoyed for several years past. Tiie re­ port further says: "It is not doubted that regular and frequent means of mail steamship communication with Mex­ ican, Central American, South American, None but those who partook of the chicken? were poisoned.

" The money-order system continues to grow in popular favor. Tho Superintendent of the money-order system suggests a p!au for reduc­ tion of fees which seems to me entirely feasible, and which is commanded to the attention of Congress. Britfly stated, his plan is to reduce the fee for money-orders not exceeding $5 to 5 ccnts, and to extend the maximum limit of an order from $50 to $100, so that increased com­ missions received from large orders may offset the ioss resulting from the reduced fee for small orders." Tho foreign money-order business and oper­ ations of letter-carrier system are reported in a bighly-s itisfactory condition. Mr. Maynard renews the recommendations of his predecessor for legislative authority to ac­ cept and to carry into effect the provisions of an article of the Universal Postal Union Con­ vention conclude 3 at Paris on the 1st of June, 1878, respecting pavment of limited indemnity for registered articles of the Postal Union, the oris n and address of which may bo lost or stolen during transmission through the mails ; an 1 also for such modification of tho provisions of the act of March 8, 1879, as will au­ thorize the adoption by the Secretary of the Tr. neurv and Postmaster General of regu­ lations providing for the delivery by mail to addresses at offices of destination in the United States, subject to payment, of cn*toius duties thereon, on any packet of dutiable mail matter received in mails from foreigncouutrie*. He is of opinion, also, that authority to trans­ mit and deliver dutiable articles of mail matter to addresses through the mails, subject to pay­ ment of customs duties thereon, should not be restricted to such mail matter as i< now ex­ changeable in the universal Postal Uhion mails, but should embrace all articles of dutiable mat­ ter received in nuils from other countries. Tho Postmaster General suggests the estal>- lisbment of a " postal-savings "* system, and also of postal telegraphs in this country, iu the following terms: "One of my predecessors some years since recommended incorporation into tluaflepartmcnt of a system of postal sav­ ing The subject has from time to time occu­ pied the attention of Congress. For several years the system has been in operation iu the United Kingdom of Groat Britain and Ireland and Canada. When in London, recently, her Majesty's Postmaster General kindly gave me facilities for observing the management of iiis department. I learned that the postal-sw­ ings system had been remaikitblv successful, and had substantially growii in popular favor. As managed in that country it is a source of some profit fo the Government In this country I incline to the belief that the system would have advantages even greater than in a compact population like that Of Great BritAin, In oy far the larger portion or these parts the nse or the postofflce mr tins purpose would; be a great been, t It would be an additional advantage that deposits would be available at any depository office in the United States--an important consideration with a peo­ ple so migratory as ours. It is believed the system would interfere little with the business of savings banks,but would absorb funds now not deposited in them. Nor would the patronage of the Government be sensibly increased, since the system would be operated by persons al­ ready in public service, with no eoneidtrable addition to the number. Your attention and the attention of Congress is respectfully in­ vited to it. " Duriug my visit to the British postoffice I examined with much interest the system of telegraphy for several years past connected with tho po-tal S 'lvic i. This metbol of corre- spondenca ib thought to have made great ad­ vance s nce it was changcd fioin the manage­ ment of private corporations, responsible to nobody, hardly to public opinion, and placed under control of the Government, The business has increased many fold, the cost of sending messages has been largely reduced, and the service is performed in localities it would never have reached under the pecuniary stimulus of pri­ vate enterprise. At tho same time it yields a margin of profit to the royal treasury. Is it not time for us to renew the inquiry whether it is wise to leave this important instrument of correspondence in charge of corporations whose primary object is gain to the managers and stockholders, and the convenience of the public secondary only ? " Sir. Maynard renews for consideration ot Congress the suggestion made by his prede­ cessor, that tho word "fraudulent," as it oc­ curs in sections 3,929 and 4,041 of the revised statutes, preceding the word '• lottery,'* should bo stricken out. He says: " That Congress, while expressly forbidding the use of the ordi­ nary mail " to all lottery companies, whether fraudulent or not, should intend to afford a special teeurity of registry system and convenience and safe­ ty of the money-order system to persons en­ gaged in employments "declared by tho Su­ preme Court of the United States to be 'de­ moralizing in their effects, no matter how carefully regulated,' unless express proof of fr..ud can be made against such companies, is not to bo assumed. Congress wili not inten­ tionally aid iu demoralizing the public by af- fordiug extraordinary postal facilities to per­ sons or companies whose business accompli bee this result." He further says that the legal position:! taken by Li* predecessor concerning the power of the Postoflice Department to exclude lotteries from the use of the mails meet his approval, and un­ der tho recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, in the case of Stone vs. The Slat;* of Mississippi, he has felt it to bo hifl of­ ficial duty also to give full effect t > the actions of any Stiite Legislature i:i its effort to relieve the pubiiy from the evil consequences of per­ nicious legislation in the past. Before leaving the subject Mr. Maynard re­ news the recommendation of Postmaster Gen. Key that newspapers containing lottery adver­ tisements be deprived of the privileges of the mails. Wholesale Poisoning at a Weddta? Festival. A Cincinnati telegram to the Chicago Tribune says: Further particulars are received here to-night of the terrible poisoning case in Ten­ nessee. The marriage of Joel Hembrio and Miss Jane Dale, of Koane county, drew a large company of the friends and relatives, who be­ long to prominent families in the vicinity.
