FRIDAY, JAN. II, 1856
$4,000 in Jeopardy!


The Harrisburg Telegraph, of 26th ult.,
states that recent attempt was made upon
the State Treasury, involving a loss of a
large sum of money to the taxpayers. IT
appears that several professional borers-
that despicable class who hang around the
seat of government to "makc money at
any sacrifice of honor or honesty-preten-
ded to have discovered Legislative Act,
materially reducing the taxes upon Banks
of this Commonwealth. In consideration
of large contingency, those borers pro-
ceeded to test the question, several of the
monied Institutions demanding that the
alleged over-payments of previous years
should be credited as an offset to accruing
taxes. The first appeal was to Mr.. BANKS,
Auditor General, who gave his opinion in
their favor, releasing the Banks of sum
estimated at Sl20,000! Their next labor
was with Mr.. SLIFER, State Treasurer, who
however not only refused to allow their
claims, but filed written argument utterly
demolishing their pre.0nsinns In cases Of
disagreement between the Auditor General
and the State Treasurer, the Governor is
to decide; but finding that Pollock was
against them, they deferred the prosecu-
ton of their scheme until new State
Treasurer should be elected In place of
Col. Slifer. Unfortunately for them, how
ever, it is stated that Auditor, Gen. Banks,
in bis fna! review Of the whole question in
the light thrown upon it BY the discussion,
has modified his opinion, and now stands
shoulder to shoulder with the State Treas
urer in defence Of the tax payers interests
and against the attempted depredations of
the agents of "soulless corporations" In
this emergency, they quietly yield in the
hope and expectation that the merit State
Treasurer and the nert Auditor General
will be of their own selection, and grant
their demands In that case, the Cover
nor's interference would be of no avail
1t now remains to be seen whether the
Legislature in the selection of Treasurer,
and the respective Parties in their choice
of candidates, viii guard the Treasury in
this matter In the mean time, the Leg
islature can by Declarative Act put the
matter at rest beyond the control Of any
man or men.

In the French army, the soldiers during

The result is, that the French army is less
afflicted with toothache and rheumatism
than any army in the world. A wooden
bottom shoe is always dry-a fac. that
