The follow? ing is a oaref ally prepared statement of the meaning of the currency bill, passed by the Senate, though no one seems to understand it. It is tele? graphed OS tho closest approach to the solution of the riddle extant. The bill provides for free banking, releases the reserves on circulation, except the five per cent,, which is to be deposited ' in the treasury for the purposes of re? demption iu United States notes, and requires reserves on deposit to be kept by eaoh bank in its own vaults; a part of which reserve shall be one fourth part of the ooin received by it as interest on the bonds held as seoo rity by tho United States Treasury, to prepare for speoie payments. The bill requires the retirement of greenbacks equal in amount to twenty-five per cent, of the new national bank cur? rency issued; the retirement to begin within thirty days after the amount of $1,000,000 of the national bank cur? rency has been issued. Tho maximum amount of the United States notes is fixed at $382,000,000, and the retire? ment shall be in reduction of that amount until it be reduced to #300, 000,000. The redemption section of ?be bill provides that on and aftor Fjuly, 1878, the greenbacks, whenever, presented in sums of $1,000, or any multiple thereof, may be redeemed in i coin, or bonds bearing 4,'.< per cent, interest in ooin, at the option of the Government; and it shall be oom pnlsory on tbo Secretary of the Trea? sury to re-issae the notes exchanged for bonds. The best features in this bill are those which require the rc aervos on deposit to be kept by the banks of different parts of the conn try in their own vaults, instead of sending them off to New York, to be loaned for speculative purposes in Wall street, and which provides that a part of these reserves shall be con? stituted.of one-fourth part of the coin received as interest on the bonds held by the Government as security. These provisions may serve to strengthen the banks at home, and perhaps tend to keep up a better distribution of the 'currenoy; the volume of which, how? ever, it seems inevitable, must be in? creased, if the bill becomes a law. Thus, there is to be more or less of inflation under it. The provisions re? leasing the banks from the mainte? nance of a rsserve on their deposits, except five per bent! deposited In the treasury for the purposes of redemp? tion, is a liberal one for those institu? tions. Attorney-General Williams has given an opinion in the Arkansas matter re? ferred to him by the President. He says it would be disastrous to allow tbe proceedings by which Brooks obtained possession of the office tu be drawn into preoedeut. There is not a State in the Union in which they would not produce conflict, and probably blood? shed. They cannot be upheld or justi? fied npon any grouud, and in his opi? nion, Elisha Baxter should be recog? nized as the lawful Executive of the State of Arkansas. The President will to-day issue a proclumatiou in accord? ance with this opinion.

Letter from tSeuerul Moycs, uf Uliiu, Cincinnati, Ohio, May 5, 1374. Hon. T. J. Mnckey, Judge of t.'t>: Sixth Ciiv.il of South Carolina, Chester, S. C. Dear Silt: Iu the Cincinnati Com? mercial of it recent date is copied a let? ter addressed by you to Colonel Black, Uuited States army, commanding post, Columbia, South Carolina, which states that the remains of two Uuited States soldiers had been exhumed from their ut-giccted burial place by tbe roadside aud removed to the National Cemetery at Florence, in your State, where they dually rest. Diese pious offices to th?i dead were rendered by a number of ex Confede? rate soldiers of Liiucaster. Honors worthy of being paid to departed heroes were shown by eitizsus of your State to tbe foemeu who hud fallen upon their soil, even in the presence ot sad monuments wbicli tho wrath of war had reared iu their midst. Oue of these dead soldiers was a member of tbe 27th Ohio Voluuteers? a regimeut belonging to the brigade with which I bad tbe honor to serve while iu the military service. On be? half of that regimeut and brigade, for myself personally, and on behalf of all I the citizens of this State, I thank you and your comrades for the generous act which your letter records. 1 caunot express to you how deeply I have been touched by tho noble spirit which prompted you and your friends thus to honor those so lately your foes, and it comes home to Lie the more, since one was a private soldier who fought under my own eyes, and ffhttsu last resting place might have remained forever unauown, except for the respect he has so signally received at your hands. The bitterness of the late unhappy war, while the war lasted, was a frenzy that unseated reason, but, now that hostilities have ceased, let us hope that peaoe returned is not merely a cessation from strife upon the battle? field, but the beginning of an era that will bring again its thoroughly human? izing influences to tho hearts and minds of meu. I am fully persuaded that those men who actually contend? ed iu arms against each other when they laid down with honor the wea? pons they had wielded with valor, were prepared to pat aside, and did put aside, every feeling that caused them to look upon their antagonists with enmity. Brave men, who have crossed their steels in the fury of passion, when the fury had passed, could re cognize the virtues of those they fought, and could well understand that to prolong hate uutil it reached viudictiveness was a narrowness of spirit, pertaining only to ignoble souls. Too much misery bus ulready fallen upou our common country during tho last twelve years, and no one, least of all a soldier, should desire to keep alivo tho feelings which Inwo occi sioned it; rather is it the duty of every citizen, however humble his sphere, to ? exert his energies towards healing the j wounds which have baou so fearfully mule. It is my belief that the tenderness ! you have thus shown to our Northeru dead will prove itself to bo ono of those victories for which peace is more re uowued than war. Tho sentiment which that tenderness has expressed will be felt throughout the Uoion? will hud an echo iu every heart that beats with the pulse of true manhood or responds to tue best instincts of humauity. Thousands in our Northern States whoso sons are sleeping upon tbe plains of the South will remember this act of kindness with tho deepest grati? tude, knowing that the ashes of their beloved rest among a people who are generously able to forget the acerbity of oivil strife, while they ore noble enough to treat tbo dead of their former foes with the same reapoot whiqh they show to their own. Again thanking you and the friends to whom I feel under so great obliga? tion, I am, very respeotfully, your obedient servant, EDWARD F. NOYES. Capt. T. O. Richardson, brother of the late ex-Governor John P. R.chard son, died in Clareadon County a few days ago. Arrested,on the Charge of Rob? bing the Mails.?Oq Sunday morn* tug, the 3d instant, a mail pouch was found under the abed at Uuion Depot broken open and despoiled of its eon tents. No clue could be obtained aa to the guilty party at the time, but a few days siL.ee Maj. Frey, special agent of the Post Offioe Department, accom? panied by Col. Tbos. B. Long, also an agent of ihe Department, came here and undertook to work up the case. The result was the arrest, yesterday morning, of James S. William!?, a co? lored train hand on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, who was committed to jail to await an ex? amination before United States Com? missioner Caasidey. The accused says he ha; been running on that road ever since the close of the war. He was in charge of the car in which the mail pouch was last seen on the Saturday previous to its being found broken open on Sunday morniog. Of course, he dcuits most positively having any kuowledge of the matter. [ Wilmington Slur. The New Orleans Picayune, under the beading, "A Carnival of Crime," says: "The local history of New Or? leans during the past six weeks, has presented, wo venture to 6ay, more in? stances of daring, unscrupulous and unchecked crime thun that of any other city in any age or country. Blood i? shed upon the must frequent? ed thoroughfares; the residnnces cf merchants aud tax-payers are entered and despoiled; houses tilled with sleeping people are set on tire by bur? glars, whose cupidity has beeu disap? pointed; gentlemen?and ladies, too? aro suized on the street aud violently rubbed cf money, jewelry, eto. We could not undertake to recapitulate tho record. It is too immense. But to say that every day brings accessions to the ttiumph of revolting end un? punished outrages is the barest and most rut derate expression of the truth." --*-??? Manufacturing Prosperity.?The St. Jobusbory Caledonian, of April 13, Buys: "List Friday, the Fairbanks Scale Company had ?u order from the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad for twenty-four ?l)) bushel hopper-scales, to be put into their new immense ele? vator, building ut Locust Point. As these ore ?fleeu-ton scales and are all set in a row, sumo idea of the size of the elevator may be gained." Tho production last week wus 1,078 scales, including six iron frame railroad track scales, of thirty to fifty tons capacity, and fifty-five buy scales; and these or? ders come, not only from all parts of the United States, but from every por? tion of the globo. Tub Blue Ridge Railroad Sale Postponed.?The sale of the Blue Ridge Railroad, which was to have taken place Thursday, ander a decree in bankruptcy, was postponed by order, of Judge Bryan nntil the 22d of Octo? ber, 1874, and the assignees were ordered to continue the advertisement of the property. In the same case the conrt appointed James Simons, Esq., special master, to inquire and report what amount of money should be raised to pay the costs and expenses incurred up to the present time in the cause, aud also to protect the property from Iobs or damage. The growth of Odd Fellowship has been exceedingly rapid. It is only fifty-five years ago that five young men, in Baltimore, laid the foundation of the great and influential organiza? tion. Tne yearly revenne of the order is $5,500,000; yearly relief, $2.000,000; number of admissions, 1873, 80,000; number of members in good standing, 440,000; assets in hand, about S20.000.000. It is believed that 1,000 lodges will be organized in 1874, and that the admissions will touch the grand figure of 100,000. A curious and painful issue is on trial in the Surrogate's court in New York. The disposition of a third share of tho life interest in the estate of the late Jacob Stiner, who perished with his wife a short time ago, in the burn? ing of their residence, turns upon the fact w hether the wife or daughter died first. Tho difficulty of proving the fact can bu imagined. The amouut in? volved is largo, the estate being valued at $120,000. # Respited ?Johu Beujamin, the ne? gro who was tried and convicted at the last Lanrens court for the murder of Isoui Henderson, (also colored,) has beeu respited till the 10th of July next.
