The sequel Of this dramatic scene is
to be found recorded with equal piquan-
cy in the House proceedings of yester-
day. Mr.. Florence did offer his ex-
punging resolution. But it only seemed
to create amusement. One member sus.
gested that it be printed in Col. Flo

lano of this State wanted to know if the
resolution was offered with the concur
renee of the President. For come reason
or other, this pertinent question proved

The STATE OF THE TREASURY
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says: "Mr. Cobb's
letter, addressed to Mr.. Sherman last
evening, develops extraordinary facts.
He now admits that his estimates for the
ensuing year are short $5,0O0,OOO.
This error was pointed out by Mr.. Sher-
man month ago.
Mr.. Cobb confirms the statement in
my dispatch of Friday. that the balance
in the Treasury will be nearly SIS, 0o0,-
900 on the 18th Of July but, suspended
over it are about SIT 100000 of unex-
pended appropriations.
This exhibit and careful scrutiny Of
the Treasury demonstrates that loan OF
S20,000,000 or S30,000,00O will be
needed next winter to pay off incumbran.

Cobb's own confession now, the expendi.

Ca The editor of the freeman has
been preaching short sermon on cove.-
business TO the Rev. Eli Ballou of the
Repository, because as the editor of the
former says the Freeman is more pop
ular and prosperous than the REPOSITORY
and makes use of the following as the
text -
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid
servant, nor his OK, nor his ass, nor any
thing that is thy neighbors."
If Mr.. Ballou has come to be so con-
temptibly penurious as to covet the Free
mans "ass," he has reached a state Of
total depravity hardly conceivable, tho
it is impossible for him to get one thai

ness to take just what belong to them,
and no more, unless they are very sure
that their neighbor has none, nor will be
likely to get one after them. We have
lost on an average for the past six months,
about n dozen papers a week, through
the lawlessness of some of our patrons.
Perhaps subscriber would call for and
get his paper, and then perhaps his son
would call the same day or the next,
when no one was in, and not knowing
that one had been carried home, get an
other, which would leave us short Of
papers for the rest of our subscribers
That game has been played quite as long
