Had The Constitutional Treasury bill, in
troduced at the special session of September,
1887, which imposed a strict accountability
on the receivers of the public money, which
compelled them to give the amplest Sc
curity, and placed them under constant
check and supervision, had this bill passed
into law instead of being rejected as i,
was by the wings and conservatives, a large
proportion of this money, which will now
be lost l" the nation, would have been saved.

moral features of this transaction which are
dark enough, we will not dwell on the fact
'hat Mr. swartwout was appointed to his

der no responsibility for his misdeeds, bu,
we will affirm, withou, fear of contradiction.
that this Prodigious embezzlement of the
public funds, this enormous fraud upon the
treasury and the nation, has been owing to
the want OF just such law as The friends Of
constitutional treasury have twice brought
into Congress, and the friends of the banks
have twice defeated.
The bonds entered into by the sureties of
Mr.. Swartwout are of course inadequate TO
cover the amount kept back by him from
the treasury.

CANADA.

Another outbreak has taken place in Can
ada, backed, it is said, by a secret organi-
zalion of large bodies of men in the U. s.,
principally ulong the frontier. Rumors Of
such things being in progress have hereto
fore been current, but have been treated
until very recently, as unworthy of credit.
The first news of the insurrection was
communicated iE "a letter received in Troy,
N. Y, from the Mayor of Plat,sburg, dated
Nov. 9th, stating that there was a general
rising among the Patriots in Canada, that
they had $500 armed men in Quebec and
at Montreal 2OO0 men, commanded by
French officers. Tha. DR.. Nelson entered
Canada by Napierville, took all the loyal
volunteers prisoners, and got 500 stand of
arms, and marched the same night with
1900 men, upon St. Johns, where he was
TO be joined by 1000 men. Another letter
published in the Journal of Commerce Of
Thursday, dated near the lines in Vermont,
the same day, says:-
There is no doubt that there is a gener-
al rise among the Canadians IN Canada, aud
that they are generally provided with arms
and ammunition tina, have been introduced
from the States during the summer; aud
that they will succeed IN getting possession
of some Of the frontier settlements and hold
ing them for few days, is mos. likely. but
that they will eventually be annihIlnted,
there is bs: li,ile doub, in my mind"
Makenzie's Gazette, of Thursday, pub
lished in New York. has the following par.
agrnph:

doubt whatever bot that bioodv aud We

o. The J. w. Richmond, we under
stand, will resume her trips on Saturday,
leaving New York a, o'clock, and will
leave Providence on Monday next at the
same hour. Since she stopped running the
fare, both on this and the Slonington route,
has been raised to S5. We should think
that the travelling public would bear thi. in
mind, and patronize her when running, as
she deserves. Since she commenced run
ming in August, she has saved to passengers,
at the lowest computation, full $4,000.

The MAMs.-Greai complaints are
made about the irreguarity of the mails
between this place aud New York, and as
we know, not without cause. The New
York mails of Monday and Tuesday of last
week were not received ut our post Office
until Saturday afternoon. During the
week the New York evening papers seldom
came III the steamboat mail. The steam-
boat mail yesterday brought no evening pa
pers. This is probably owing to their no,
being put into the post office in time.
We state for the information of the edi-
tors in The city that the mails for Nrwpor,
and New Bedford leave New York in the
4 o'clock boats, and their papers must be
mailed at least half an hour before that time
or We do not get them under two or three
days.
When no boat leaves for Newport the
Post Master in the city will favor our com.
munity by sending the mail by the Ston-
ington route to Providence, when we shall
receive it the next afternoon.
