Chief Clerk, the former at salary of So
900, and the latter at salary OF 50 900; and
all its other officers are TO be taken from the

1t is surprising to what extent circum-
stances will alter cases. When paltry
sum of $1,000 was lost by public officer
under Mr.. ADAMS, gentleman known in
Richmond stormed, and raved, and tore
has hair about it, till he convinced great
many simple people that he was in per-
feet tempest Of moral indignation. And
now that same gentleman sees the exche-
quer plundered of $l55,000 in simple
transaction, and vouches for it that there
has been no s'dishonest" defalcation! Has

When the Union gets through with Mr..
CLAYToN's refusal to give this passport to
the free negro--when it has shed all the
tears it has to shed in this behalf, we hope
it will turn its attention to the particulars
touching the loss of that $l55, 900. The
tears, we apprehend, do not live in an
onion that will water that sorrow.

THE CONSUL AT LYONS.

The opposition journals, under the lead
of the Union, continue to direct the most
violent and vulgar abuse at HEUDgBERT,
the French emigrant, recently appointed
to the consulship at Lyons. What can
have induced the organ of the Richmond
elite to expend such an amount of ammu-
milton upon so humble gentleman, we
cannot imagine. 1t looks very much as if
its ISLANDERS were pointed by some personal
motive. How poor HEUDEBERT could
ever have offended the senior editor, we
cannot well imagine. He has accepted
the consulship at Lyons. Therefore, the
Union assais him in language that no
well-bred man would apply to convict.
Mr.. HEUDEBERT has on file in the De-
partment of State vouchers for integrity
and good character from gentleman as
well known at Washington, or even at
Richmond, as the senior editor himself,
and men with whom the senior editor
would be proud to acknowledge his ac-
quaintance. He has not Mr.. DENBY's
recommendation, nor Mr.. OsBoRNE's, nor
Mr.. Owns, nor Mr.. WILEY P. HARRIs',
nor that of Mr.. LITTLEBURY HAWKINS, nor
Of any man distinguished in the post office
defalcations of 1894, nor the land office de-
falcations of 1886 and 1887, nor in the
Navy Department defalcations of lS4S.
The senior editor may, on this account,
consider him i'll recommended; but we are
better satisfied with the names of gentle
men who have never figured in the ranks
of defaulters or regulators. Such are
the gentlemen who have endorsed Mr..
HEUDEBERT.
One word as to another point Great
D ms have been taken to represent this
petty consulship as one Of importance and
profit. So insignificant is it, in fact, that

made no return of the amount of his fees,

THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. l6. ls4s
THE PASSPORT CASE.

The Union yesterday joined in the cry
of the Abolitionists against the Secretary
of State for having "recently refused a
passport to colored man about to visit
Europe" II turns out, SAYS the sole or
gan, that it has not been the uniform prac-
tee of the State Department to refuse
passports to free negroes, "Mr. FORSYTH
having granted one or two passports to
colored men," Now this falsehood has
been exposed and put down so effectually
in the northern papers, that even the Alb
olitionists have nearly ceased to reiterate
it. 1t was reserved for the Union to re-
vive the accusation when the Abolitionists
themselves had become ashamed of il.
They pretended that Mr.. Nolan in
1884 had granted one passport to Robert
Purvis, and that Mr.. FORSYTH in 1886 had
granted another to the Rev. Mr.. Williams,
and that they were both colored men. On
examining the records of the Department,
it was ascertained that they were both
represented to the Department, and recon-
mended at the time the passports were
given, 10 be Uhite men; and the old pass
port clerks-Mr. Reddal and Mr.. Chew,
the former the passport clerk under Mr.
BUCHANAN, and the latter the passport
clerk under Mr. FORSYTH, and who are
still clerks in the State Department, (be-
ing retained by this ''proscriptive" Ad-
ministration, although they are bo.h Dem
ocrats, both bear testimony that no pass
port was ever granted knowingly by any
Secretary, within their experience, to any
free negro or colored person. Applications
for passports for such persons were con-
/ constantly refused under Mr.. BUCHANAN,
as often as they were applied for. Yet
the Union joins the Abolitionists in abus-
ing Mr.. CLAYTON for refusing passport
to negro, although it was never heard tc
murmur against any Democratic Secreta.
ry, although all Of them acted under the
same rule in every instance.
We have examined copy Of letter
addressed by Mr.. BUCHANAN to Mr..
GEORGE ID COOPER of New York city,
dated November 8, 1916, in which Mr.
BUCHANAN refuses passport to William
p. Powell, man ''of a mulatto color, but
of Indian extraction" and informs Mr.
Cooper "that the Department can have
no authority TO issue it." Most OF the
southern elections being over, the Union
now turns its face northward, but the peo
pie of the South will not forget hereafter
that the Union has joined with the Aboli
tionists in demanding that the Secretary
Of State shall violate the rule established
in his Department for forty years, by
granting passports, which are full certlf

The Sub-Treasurers-D

The act establishing, as the Locofocos call il, the
constitutional treasury subjects the sub-reasurers
TO severe punIshment--the penItentiary we be-
lieve-for any embezzlement. private use, or mis-
application Of the public funds in their hands.
The guilt Of many of the defaulters recently ey-
posed was perfect, and perfectly well-known at
Washington before Gen. Taylor came into power,
bur every thing was kept quiet by the officials Of
the same political faith. The people were ignorant
Of any default, until General Taylor and his Cab-
net began TO remove few Of the officers. IL be-
came impossible TO keep dark" any longer. The
appointment Of Wing district attorney in New
York brought TO light Marshal Moore's default.
IL was known before, but not made known to the
public, nor were any measures before taken TO Sc
cure the public funds
So with DENLY, the navy agent at Marseilles for
the Mediterranean squadron. Il was known here
tofore, bat not made public. He is in default for a
large sum How came W The Union says Mr..
DENLY is one Of the elite Of Virginia and therefore
could not have plundered the treasury. Never
theess, there is the default, how happened III The
law makes It criminal 20 use the public money for
private uses, yet 1t now appears that o house in
Richmond went Denby's security, under an ar
rangement to act as his agent, To-. receive and use
the money, paying DENLY SIX per cent. interest,
and through his mercantile operations, to place the
agent in funds at Marseles as required. The
failure Of those connected IN these operations IN
GLIDING the Richmond house leaves the treasury

The Surveyors Ohfce.

Our late surveyor, Patrick Collins, proceeds ra-
Their tardily IN turning over the surveyors office
and its effects to Col, Bond, his successor. The
public books and papers, we learned, had not been
delivered over down 10 yesterday morning, though
frequently demanded and the late surveyor, il is
said, claims that the books which contain the en-
tries OF his transactions agent of the public,
his private property However this may be, the
new surveyor has not been able to get them
There is an agent Of the Treasury here to examine
the office, but il contains nothing to be examined
In relation to the Sub-treasury, little progress
has been made. The balance against Mr.. Collins
on the books as sub-treasurer and collector, ex-
ceeds 500 600 He has handed over within day
or two, little over S63 600 the contents of strong
box in the post-ofice The deposite for which he
is held accountable is about $50, 900 at the last re-
port What increases the embarrassment is, that
a treasurers check upon the surveyor is here for
amount exceeding the 500 900, and the new sur
veyor is without funds to pay it, until his predeces-
sor shall pay over more The old surveyor doubt
less thinks the action of the various officers of the
Government to get the public property and public
money out of his hands rather premature. II is
rumored that one of our banks has large deposite
TO the credit of Mr. Collins individually, and that
the new surveyor is in pursuit, to secure this
amount for the public However all this may be,
the matter approaches its denouemeni; and we shall
soon learn more about it. Among other rumors
that we have heard one, that it has been discov-
cred that the Government is in debt to the late SUR
veyor But this ID not relied on.
