the foreign journals, English and Germah,
says the New York Evening Post, scout at
the'report that a loan ofone thousand million dollars was offered some time ago, to
our governnient; by European capitalists. —
. We are able tosay, for the satisfaction of all’
interested in this question, that in July last
the agent of a number of German bankers
did make a formal offer to Mr. Fessenden,
Secretary ofthe Treasury, of a loan of one.
thousand million of dollars. pe
“We breve veason to believe that this offer
. is still open, and we know that it caused a
rise in the price of United States bonds in
tlie German markets, when it became known
who were the persons that made it. On
the 29th of July, 1864, United Statés six per

a law requiring all trustees of mining companies once in every three months to make
ous and publish a full statement of all
moneys received from assessments or otherwise, and also a detailed statement of all
moneys expended, together with a general
statement of the progress of the works and}
the condition and. prospeets of the mine.—
Such a law is needed, not only in Nevada
but in California. As mining affairs are
now managed, it is almost impossible for a
to-obtain any knowledge of the actual condition of the mines in which they are interested;-or to learn how or for what the assessments they pay-are expended, or to obtain
any definite knowledge of their own business.
A lawlike that recommended would give
stockholders all facilities necessary for understanding the actual condition of the companies in which they might be interested,
and enable them to apply remedies in case of

chanced to be temporarily in the City Bank . .
of New York, for safe keeping, ‘when two
thieves, in a night’s work, took from that institution $260,000.. The medal was lying-ina trunk of gold. All the coin was stolen,
but the medal, though taken out of its case
(marked with the owner's name) to gratify
curiosity, was left. A few years later, when
the robbers had served out their sentences
in the State Prison, or been pardoned by
the executive, Scott was, in a steamer on
the Hudson, robbed of his purse by pickpockets who did not know him. The principal of the bank robbery hearing of the
loss ($140), destirred himself among the
fratérnity; threatened to cause the whole
body to bé sent to the State Prison if the
money was not returned, and added:
“‘When@n the City Bank I saw the medal,
but was not such a villain astorob a gallant
soldier.” Ina day or two the money was .
returned by Hays, the high constable, with
that repert, received from a third party.
To show that he did not himself pocket the .
money, Hays was requited to produce
Scott's written receipt for its return—which:

DUEL.—We learn that while H. C. Ben.
nett, of the Union, was in this city yester‘day afternoon, John R. Ridge, of the
National, went, to his offige ‘to assault
him. _ Not finding Bennett-there he left and
drew his pistol and told Bennett to do the
same. Bennett refused to fight him on the
street but told -him he would meet him:
whereupon a challenge was passed and accepted. This-is all wé could learn up to
the hour of our going to press.

him to take no notice in his reports of certain members. The note was dropped on
