THE TREASURY REPOKT-No. III.

We have discussed the schemes Of Erpencc, which
chalked out in the Repon.-Our estimate is, that
reduced to about II millions ddflars.--We come
To the Secrctary's Views of
THE PUBLIC REVENUE
lie says that " the from which the
n,Ic has hitherto been derived, the Imports the
Public Lands, and the Bank Diridends" lie propo-
SEES to sell the Bank Stock-and, of course, this
source of revenue would be dried up The Prcsi-
dent approves this SUGGESTION we learn "as well to-
rid the Bank of its government character, so far
the holding of that stock goes, To complete the
payment of the public debt-and to this wish alone
may be attributed his non-interterencc with the
views of the Secretary."-rhe proposition appears
in every respect consistent with the public interests
? The Public Ldnds.--NIr. McI.anc proposes also to
Top off this resource from the Public Treasury, by
disposng of u the public lands, in the aggregate,
To those States within whose territorial limits they
lic at fair price to DO settled in such manner as
might be satisfactory to all. The aggregate price of
the whole may then he apportioned among the seve-
raj States of the Union, accordngto such equitable
ratio may be consistent with the Objects of the
original cesson, and the proportion of each may he
paid secured directly the others by the rcspcc-
tive States purchasing the land"
This is one of the post important propositions in
the whole Document.-rhc extent Of the public dol
MAN, and the sums which it will ultimately conf
mand will astonish those who have not investigated
the iacts.-The only authorities that have on
hand IL the Statistics of Seybert and of Pitkin-
which bring down the statements of the Public
Lands only TO October 1Sl6.-Thc following sum-
mary is therefore, Incomplete but may still be in

mcncemcnt OF sales to October 1916, is 7,5i0,6S9.
The whole purchase money s ll,960,7 1874 iS-and the

In the Mississippi Territory, .the acres sold are

SUPPOSED MURDER.-Conslderab excitement
prevails at this time, in the lower sections of this
county. Cd account of the supposed murder, by
poisoning of WIN. Chapman, at his residence
in Andalusia. A villain ofno ordinary character,
named Limo .4malio Dsposy Mia, has been ar
rested it Boston, on the charge Of swiudling, and
since his arrest. circumstances have been develop
ed, which will most probab bring upon him IA
more serious charge than that of forgery. 1t ap-
pears that he had become acquainted, by some
means or other, with the family of Mr.. Chapman,
who was an English gentleman, and had a school
at his residence, on the Bristol road, for the cure
of mpedIments of speech, and that the villain
above referred to, was in the habit of intercourse
with his family. Mr. Chapman took sick some
time in July last at which time Nina was ASST
duous III his attention to him. He died. however,
and in about ten days after, Nina married the
widow, who report says, he induced to believe he
was the son of the celebrated gen. Nina. and for
eisner of distinction. lie procured all her jew
elry, plate, of which she had large amount, hor.
SEES and carriage, and other valuable articles, and
took them TO Baltimore, where he cvlverted them
into cash. Mr.. Ross. prosecuting attorney for
this county. receiving information of the facts,
body taken up, and an examination made by Dr.
Hopkinson of Philadelphia, assisted by Dr..
Coates of Bristol, for the purpose of chemical
analysis by Drs. Hare & Mitchell, of the CITY,
The governor has made demand for Nina, and
we may expect TO have him here shortly. fors-
ed draft ful $1,000, drawn BY him on merchant
in Philadelphia, had been Intercepted. Several
letters from him to Mrs. Chapman. have been w.
ing in the post office here for some time. The Ia
dy of Mr.. {. left this county on Monday or Tues
day last. since when she has not been hea rd cf-
It's unnecessary to state any thing further, as the
facts OF the poisoning. which said to be almost
positive. with other evidence, will be brought
forth in the trial. Great praise is due to those
who have been active in sitting out this business,
and thus bringing to justice an accomplished
sc0undrel, whose crimes are of the greatest mag
nitude.
We have reason to believe that Mrs. Chapman
proceeded to New York with het daughter, where,
after settling some pecuniary business. heinform
ed persons that she was going to New England;
bat in fact she tok passage to Albany, and pro.
badly went OIL to Canada. She can be found, we

Il slip ofMe tongue.-A young fellow named
Cro!ious. who was charged with having stolen a
PAIR of shoes, was arranged yesterday at the Spe-
ciai Sessions. The prisoner since his arrest, pre-
tended that he was foreigner, and affected an
entire ignorance Of the English language On his
trial the charge was not sufficiently proved, the
court therefore resolved to acquit him; previous
to his discharge however, the Recorder wishing
to give him the usual aconic exhortaton TO NOR
ality, called him to ask whether he did not I'M
derstand any English? The acquitted prisoner
turned around and making very low bow to the
court, threw the auditors into roar of laughter
by replying very calmly, " not word your hon
or;" - wells said his honor as soon as he had re.
sumed his gravity by adjusting his spectacles,
" if you are discharged will YOU take care and be-
have better in future" Sc ~il' said the other,
as he turned out of the court, "you will never
find me here again speaking to your honor"

LEESBURG, OCt. i.
The FIRST term Uf the Circuit Superior Court OF
Law and Chancery, for Loudoun county. under
the new order Of things. commenced in this town
on Friday Of last week, his honor Judge Scott
presiding.
The case OF James Is. Biscpe, charged with pas
sing counterfeit notes, knowing them to be 81. IN
April 1880, came on for trial again. at this term.
The subject was clothed with more than oruIna-
ry interest. The youth Of the prisoner; his Sc
duction by DR.. Brown. so celebrated in the an
nals of counterfeitng: his long confinement; his
emaciatvd figure and pailul aspect; the effects OF
severe disease; and the responsibility Of his con.
nexions, all conspired to attract attention. and
awaken sympathy. The prisoner was unable to
walk, aud was burue into court IN an easy char,
by four men, at the commencement OF hi, trial
on Tuesday, and then Withdrawn. The examlna-
ton Of the testimony and argu" ent OF the case
closed on Wednesday night; and, on Thursday
morning. the prisoner was again borne into curt
to hear the verdict of Not GuNy. He received,
from the Judge. brief but solemn admon'tlon.
Although his counsel argued his cause with great
ability, it is believed that compassionate !eellns
had much to do with the matter.
For the first term Of the new court, good deal
Of business was done: and it is universally agreed
that Judge Scott manifested commanding ability,
great industry, and uncommon patience.

We understand that singular and most edi-
flying conflict of opinion was exhibited yesterday,
from the Bench Of Tie Mayors Court. The Re-
cordcr, charging jury. told them that. in crim'-
nal cases. they possessed the right OF dettrmin-
ing both law aud fact; but that. By taking the law
as laid down by the Court, they would avoid IA Sc
rious responsibility which they must incur by de
Gliding in opposition to the Judges. His words,
as reported to us, seem to have been almost The
same with those used, on the trials of the mail
robbers, Porter and Wilson, by Judge Baldwin,
who not only expressed this opinion, but enforc-
ed ii earnestly Yesterday, however, when the
Recorder had finished what he had to say, this
doctrine was vehemeuty assailed by Alderman
Duane, who harraugued the Jury with no slight
warmth: telling them that they were the absolute
Judges of the law well as of the fact-that Juds-
es were as liable to mistake as other men. and
were no better than other men-and that Jurors
were no more bound by the opinion of Courts, in
criminal cases, than in the purchase of horse for
which one Of them mig ht be bargaining.

And the bright world shut from his langui1 eve,
They will besr him thought of the sunny flow

And dream of his youth bring him flowers,

Bring flowers young flowers for the bride to wear,
They were born TO blush in her shining hair,
She is leaving the home Of her childish mirth,
She hath bid farewell TO her fathers hearth,
