The New York Custom House Inves,i.
CATION is still in progress. The Herald
says it has been al some pains to collect
the general results of the evidence, and
though moro evidence is required on many
points, yet there seems little doubt that
the following conclusions are not far from
the truth. That Swartwout's deficiency
has not exceeded $500, 000-that he has
received permission to return home from
the government, aud that when he returns
he will expose the knavery that made him
defauler for 81, 100000, by confusing
his accounts. That VIM. NJ. Price is not
doiaulter to the government at all
that his resignation of Office was forced
upon him by the intrigues of others-that
when he went to Europe, his purpose was
to return with Swartwout. That one
Mr.. Dayton, n respectable importer, has
testified that he gave his check for $25,
600, by way Of compromise, to recover
his goods from the public stores, amount
ing to 100000 including the usual du-
ties. There are other round charges
made against the officers of tho Customs,
OF secretly obstructing the foreign trade
Of New York at the insiigntion of con-
lcderacy of manufacturers Of other cities,
which, rs the evidence upon which thew
rest has not yet been made public, may
or may not be true. TIE committee will
no doubt get at all the facts, and they will
then be given to the public.

MoRE INDIAN TRouBLEs.-The Liberty (Mo.
Star of the 23th ul,imo says: eve are infor
by gentleman living in Andrew County, that sew
eral parties OF Pawnees were supposed TO be gath
ering with the design OF attacking the Caws and
iowas, divided by the Missouri river from the set
Elements. II will be remembered that marsuding
party of the Caws attacked Pawnee encsmpment
sometime during the winter, in the absence of the
warriors and buichered large number of women
and children. Should the Pawnees take vengeance
il is to be feared the Caws and their allies will be
driven across the river and compelled TO seek re-
fuge in the settlements.

The GiRARD COLLEGE, PHiLADELPHIA.-This
splendid monument OF singular generosity, progress
es very slowly towards compleuoni and great CON-
plants uttered against the plan pursued by the
Council. Of Phadelphia, who direct the operations
of the workmen.
In the mean time the grand object Of Grard, the
education of the orphans of the cry. is wholly neg
ected. Ages, it appears from the stntemen of the
the papers, to be consumed in erecting the
splendid College, while those fol- whose benefit il
was designed, grope in ignorance and vice. The
North American says: Externally the building is
finished, except the roof the pillars and the eniab-
iatnre which s"rmouns them. During the last six
mouths, but very little visible progress has been
made. Nothing is doing except laying the marble
tiles, which 10 form the roof. The work men
are now all occupied upon this portion OF the build
ing, except few who engaged upon the col
umns aud the work appended TO them. Out of the
thirty-iuur pillars, which are to form the splendid
coonade, those the sides are already up, and
some of them Auted Those upon the ends OF
the building have not yet begun rise, ard we see
but little evidences among tho woikmen that they
are even in preparation. 1t requires nearly yea,
to finish the work upon capital, and number
OF them have not yet been begun except the rude
outlines. Those who perverted the designs of the
donor, and defeated the immediate contamination
of his purposes, have assumed solemn responsible
ties. They have done much for which posterty
will hold them werable."

The New York Star thinks that the

joiced the Locolocos, viii not lead to the
unpleasant results, which they apparently

that the Wings, being aware of the points
of difference among themselves, will so
steer their barques as TO avoid all serious
collision.

A JUST AND SEVERE REToRT.-Mr.
Calhoun spoke at length in the Senate on
Monday, on the motion to print 1900 ex-
ira copi S of the bank project Of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. lie attacked the
whole financial policy of the admiuistra-
ton. Mr.. Clay observed that a late
Vice President, a late Secretary of the
Treasury, and late Chancellor of the
Exchcquer Mr.. Wright had now made
long speeches on this simple motion to
print; peg altogether too small to sustain
so great a weight. He had risen to say
that the Senate had cork before them, and
he hoped his friends would work and not
talk. He asked therefore for tho ques-
ton on the motion, which was taken and
the motion agreed to.
The bill to extend the charters OF the
District banks was then taken up and dis
cussed until The Senate adjourned.

JOHN M. WAITE, Sec'y.


Advertiser states that the Editor has ascertancd
by inquiry at the General Post Office that the fol-
lowing statement is true TO The latter /! But for
this assurance we sho',ld esteem it incredible, even
in view of the notorious impurities and corruptions
of those whom the People have righ,eously ex-
PEELED from power The statement originally ap-
psared in the Louisville Journal, and is follow:
When Mr. Barry was Postmaster General, n
Committee was appointed By the United Suites Sc
nate to investigate the affairs Of the Post Office De-
Parimeni. The investigation resulted in the very
able report made by Mr.. Ewing, in which divers
extra allowances and other corruPtions were duly
made known to the people Of the country.
To parry the Effects of that startling report. Mr..
Barry, it may be remembered, published pamph-
let, vindicaton called, Of his conduct. This
pamphlet was. of course an individual and not an
official document. Nevertheless he agreed to pay
TO the Editors Of the Globe Mesns. Blair & RiYes,
81 800 for printing il, and charged Tie amount 10
the Government!
When Amos Kendall succeeded Mr.. Barry as
Postm SER General he glanced over the books OF
the Department and this item of $500. -
Afraid that another investigation would sooa take
place, and that this extraordinary item would thus
be brought TO light, he made Blair & liives refund
the money tat least he entered il as refunded on
the books. Thus the matter remained till the 3D.
of March. 1871, the very last Lay of MIR. Van Blu
rens Administration, when Me-. Niles the success
or Of Kendall as Postmaster General, paid back
The 81 500 TO Blair & RiVes, and an entry ,cas ac-
tEaiiy made in The books 10 Hat effect! rs 81
The Commercial further states thai, being out of
funds at the time, Mr.. 7. NJ. G Niles drew on a
Pennsly vana Postmaster in favor Of Blair for th.
amount; and Blair was fearful that M. Granger
would discover the fraud and arrest il that he pro-
posed sending express TO the Postmaster for
the cash! Let these facts be officially verified.
