THE CINCINNATI CASE

The following abrdgment by the Baltimore American
of an article in the Cincinnati Atlas Of the 10th ut con-
tains the latest and most authentic information we have
about this affair
The question of Mr. Collins delacaon is still discussed
in The papers While it is commended by the Washnoton
Union and other Democratic prints that the late Collector
is not detaulter, and that he will be able to satisfy all
claims OF the Government, it is maintained the other
hand, by the Cincinnati Gazette and Atlas that there is
ascertaned deficit OF $99000 after taking into
the account all the funds i'll his possession, deposited
in bank to his credit 1t is stated that 100000 of
merchants, bonds, notes, &C., are also held by Mr.
Collins, which, if admitted into the account by the
government, would reduce the figures against him to
$46O00 But as a matter OF course the Government
declines to receive these vouchers in payment Of the
balance due from the Collector. Such course OF pro-
ceedng was evidently never contemplated by the Re-
Law which Mr. Secretary Walker procured
to be passed the chief merit claimed for which was that
it required the duties to be paid in cash. the goods of the
merchant to be warehosed until all claims OF the govern
ment satisfied. Such bonds and them taken
without the sanction OF the law and at the Collectors
own risk are not and certainly ought not to be received
money from the retiring Collector The Government
require the actual money, the goods upon which the
ney is due, which, under the law the Collector is presm-
ed to hold as collateral security for the payment OF the
duties accrung thereon The Atlas, remarkng upon Mr.
Collins case after showing that there still cash deficit
OF $99O0O, thus concludes:
The sole Of Mr.. Collins difficulty is, that he has
not acted in conformity to tap. public officer must
conform to the law OF the land. Ii the late Collector
shall produce in money and legal Bonds the whole
amount of the Government claim he will not have exon
Grated himself by law; but he will show that he is not
morally detauer. He has committed an error; but if
the Government receives its dues hereafter he may
be charged with higher offence than violation Of the
Revenue aEEs But, yet the account is not balanced
The Washington Republic says:
Tits certainly Of difficulty with public officer
when he fails to act according law The difficulty in this
with MI Collins sthat he has converted the public mo-
ney which he has received into other funds or has loaned
or invested them This isone offence 1t another and
distinct offence that he has failed pay over the public
moneys In his possession demand Either of these
offences is punishable with fine and Imprisonment And
yet the Union charges Gen Taylor through its cores
pondent, with being an assassin slanderer and beler,
because simply stated the fact which is abmdantly
proved, that Mr.. Collins is detaulter"
