Unveiling the Statue of General Thomas.
Washikgtos, D. C, November 19.
The city is full of strangera to witness the
ceremonies attending the unveiling of the
statue of General George Thomas by the
Army of the Cumberland. The meeting of
the society was held this morning, and owing
to the absence of Geaeral Sheridan, the
President of the society, on account of
sickness, Gen. Jeff. C. Davis was unani
mously selected to preside, amid loud
cheers. After the meeting adjourned a
procession was f armed and proceeded to
the site of the s'atue, when the unveiling
ceremonies were commenced. In the line
of the procession were the Richmond
Light Id fan try liiuos, of Richmond, Va..
and the N rf lk (Jity Guards, of Norfolk,
the Alexandria Light Infantry and the ca
dets of St. John's Academy, of Alexandria,
Va. The procession passed the Executive
mansion and was reviewed by the Presi
dent and Cabinet, after which it proceeded
to the circle where the statue is placed.
The exercises were opened with prayer,
after which "Hail to the Chief," by the
marine band, and the "Star Spangled Ban
ner," were rendered by the male chorus of
100 voice? accompanied by the full marine
band drum corps. Battery "A" of the 2d
Artillery, and Battery "C" of the 3d Ar
tillery, formerly commanded by General
Bragg during the Me xican war and subse
quently by Gen. Thomas, , were aligned on
Massachusetts avenue and M street, the
guns facing eastward, and were fired by
electricity, the wires being immediately
under the control of Lieut. Swift, of the
signal corps, and all under the direction of
L.E.Gannon.
The statue was then unveiled by the
sculptor and a grand hymn was snng by
the same chores with cannon accompani
ment. The oration was delivered by Hon.
Stanley Matthews and the statue was ac
cepted by President Hayes in a short
speech.

Reoort from the United States Treasury
Financial icxnioit or tne juepanment
Report ox tbe rescmaster-iieneral.
Washington, Norember -18. The re
port of United States Treasurer Gilfillan,
made public to day, speaks of the fiscal
year just ended as one. characterized by
great transactions in'connectlon with the
refunding of war loans, and with the re
sumption of specie payments, after a sus
pension of seventeen years. The report
shows the aggregate of gold coin and bul
lion, and silver coinnd bullion, including
standard' silver: dollars in the Treasury,
has increased from $61,453,000 in -1876 to
S114,464,60ff fir 1877, to .163.969,000 in
1878and to $222,807,000 m 1879. The
decrease in the aggregate-- nots assets, in
cluding credits in depository banks on
other than loan - account, has decreased
from $98,419,000 in 1876, to $88,772,000
in 1878, and to $59,699,000 in 1879. The
most constant influence in the decrease of
the note balance is that which proceeds
from the purchase of silver bullion for
coinage. Since resumption the Treasury
has been deprived, by the receipt of com
paid for bullion, of United States notes
amounting probably to seven per cent, of
the annual revenues. This percentage is
grearer than the margin between the public
receipts and expenditures, and apart from
other influences, it would in time render
the balance in the Treasury first exclusixe
ly metallic, and then exclusively silver.
This decrease of notes in the Treasury will
continue until the limitation or cessation
of the present silver dollar coinage. The
silver bullion on band decreased during the
year from $9,634,000 to $4,299,000.
The statement of assets and liabilities or
the government, October 31, 1879, shows
the following aggregate: Assets $274,-
867,574, liabilities $123,820,530; amount
available for resumption $151,047,044.
At the close of the fiscal year of 1879 the
aggregate amount of o. S. notes in circu
lation was $346,681,000. Uf such notes.
of all denominations, there were redeemed
during the year $64,107,000. The total
coinage or the standard silver dollar is
$45,206,000, of which amount $32,203,-
000 in the mints and treasury offices, and
$13,002,000 is in circulation, the latter
being 28f per cent, of the total coinage as
against 26 9 10 per cent, of the total coin
age in circulation at same date, last year.
Treasurer Gilfillan says that the ropid
appreciation of silver bids falrto solve the
silver problem for this country, and ex
presses the opinion that if i the present in
fluences continue in operation silver may
recover nearly all its former relation to
gold. . ,;v. :
Accompanying ihe report are statements
of the assistant treasurers' at Boston and
New York, showing transactions of their
respective offices.
The report of the Postmaster General,
made public to-day, shows that the total
receipts of the Postoffice. Department for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1872, were
$30,042,000, and the total expenditures
$33,449,000. , Excess of expenditures
over receipts $3,407,000. The expendi
tures were $801,209 less than last year
and the receipts $764,465 greater. The
estimates for the fiscal - year ; ending June
30, 1881, show a deficiency f lOi be pro
vided for by an appropriation of $771,000.
Estimates for the Star service for the next
fiscal year contemplated largely increased
mail facilities in the State of Kentucky,
South Carolina. North Carolina, Tennes
see, Georgia,' Florida, Mississippi aid
Alabama. This service has already been
advertised, the contracts to begin July 1,
1880. "The Postmaster General recom
mends the enactment of a law authorizing
contracts for carrying the mails between
the United- States and the West indies
and South-- American - ports ia American
built steamers, at a fixed maximum and
minimum price, the amount to be ex
pended beicg regulated by annual appro1
priations. This policy, be thinks, would
enable the United States to control the
profitable commerce with those countries
now almost monopolized by Great Britain.
Push Gold Into Circulation.
; (From tne New Orleans Picayune.)
Our'banks are now facing a difficult pro
blem, one which is certainly extraordinary
in its character, and wholly f unexpected.:
They are endeavoring to induce - business
men to take gold instead. oi greenbacks,
and to put into circulation specie instead
of paper. This looks like practical resump -
tion. and snouia oe met witn tne nearly
approval of the people.
The banks, however, are not orxenng
cold in carrying out any pet theory.
They are simply unable to get tne legal
tender notes. Their Aew i or k corres
pondents write that currency ia not to be
bad, and to realize upon ' exchange gold
must be accepted. The New York banks
have scarcely any legal tenders of $20 de
nomination or under. Their reserves are
made up almost entirely of specie. They
are able to get along very well by utilizing
gold certificates of deposits Instead of the
coin. - vur banks must therefore bring
out gold or let their balances stand." The
latter policy would soon result in a com
plete stoppage of business, as their te-
sources wouia quic&iy oe. absorbed in
handling the exchange resulting from
jales . of cotton. Tbey must therefore
j order out coin and put it into 'circulation

The business community are therefore

urged to snip specie. While it is true that
the movement of coin is much , more . ex
pensive than that of paper money. It is'
their duty, tp lend aid to thebank. and it
is certainly to their interest to getiito use
throughout the agricultural districts of the
South a circulating medium . that is ttouad
and sate beyond perad venture.
So far as silver is concerned the Ques
tion is settled. The total , product of the
mint is now needed to supply the demand.
Very Bmall currency cannot be obtained at
all,- and for paying off hands it is a silver,
dollar or nothing. . This coin is peculiarly'
adapted for circulation in. the cotton and
sugar districts, and we venture to predict
that when it has once come into general
use It will retain a strong bold on the peo
ple. The South ought to be able to absorb
and retain at least $25,000,000 of legal
tender silver in anything like prosperous
times.

a boggy, accompanied by her mother, who
sat with her in the prisoners box. while
her sister. Mrs. A. C. Melke. sat with her

very few failed to answer to their names:
When court adjourned lor dinner, the jury
was made up.
When court was called in the afternoon.
the witnesses for the State were called and
sworn. Mrs. Effle Kancae. was present
when the Bhooting tooa place, ' and Drs.
McMillan and Lewis ' stated that said
wound was the direct cause of his death.
1 Having proved these two points, tne state
i rested tne case, ana me witnesses tor me
defense about forty in number were called.
Several of them testified to the good char
acter of the prisoner, prior to the shoot
ing. Able counsel was employed on both
sides. Our excellent Solicitor, Capt.
Mclver, assisted by Alf. Rowland," Esq.,
prosecuted, while CoL, French conducted
the defense. It is certainly one of the
most remarkable cases that has ever been
upon our docket.
The evening session was 'spent in the

hoped to be able to give the result of the
trial in this week's paper, but notwith
standing that a night session was ' held on
Monday night, as we go to press this

New York World,
General
Beauregard on
Shiloh.
the Battle of
General Beaureeard bas written a letter
to a personal friend in response to certain
inquriea concerning tbe battle of Shiloh,
and it first sees the light in the columns of
the Cincinnati Inquirer. He makes these
points : "(l.) The turning point the
contest at Shiloh was the arrival of
Buell's forces. (2.) Grant was irretrier
ably beaten, and but for the arrival 'of
Buell's army, his remnants would have
been destroyed on the second day. 8.)
During the attempted assaults made by
our disjointed organization upon the Fed
eral position on the bluff at Pittsburg
Landing, between 5 and 6 p. m. of the
first day, I expected; from the . renewed
resistance of the Federals, that reinforce
ments bad been received, and Gen. rren
tiss, who was captured in the afternoon,
stated in the evening that' Buell was com
lng up. Later, however, a dispatch from
Col: Helm, a regular fl mean a West
Point graduate, and in the old service)
army officer posted at Florence, positively
reported that Buell was marching upon
LHuntsville. But for this mistaken report
'of Helm; (and 1 may add, Hardee's neg
lect to report to ' me the information ac-
outred by Col Forrest during the night,
tnat -large bodies of troops were being
formed across the river.) I would bave
adopted a different - disposition for the
second day, suited to' the defense for
which the field offered ample opportunity.
The opportune arrival of Buell's army un
questionably " saved the Federals - Irom
complete defeaL No ; more than one-
fourth of Grant s forces were in ' the sec
ond day's battle. 1 How many of them
could have been collected" and organized
without the presence of General Buell's
army, it Is not difficult to judge. Chiea
