.TIID $4,000 ITEM AND oTnERs."

'srliE $4,000 ITEM AND OTHERS"
We have already quoted the remarka-
bic paragraph in the confession Of the
evening black republican organ Of this
city wherein it says, in speaking Of the
deialcation of the State Treasurer
"Who else may be implicated in the
wrong, by errors of omission or commits
sion, or by completely, remains to be
'seen not only ~ regrad 10 the $4,000
item, bit Others, and in relation TO all of
which we must defer further remarks
until further posted" This is plain
confession that the $50, 900 which HAZEL
TON g. Co. have is only and item in the
account. We should like to know what
the whole account is which swells into
such huge proportions as to enable the
organ of the enemiesin the administration
of the Treasurer to speak Of it so lightly
as 10 call $4,000 an item of the account
only. What other items are there?-
How many more Of $4,000 each? We
have plenty of rumors, but as the State
treasury has never been examined by a
committe Of the Legislature since Coy
crnor BINGnAM came into power, save by
withdrawing one, we cannot answer
the questions. We trust the organ of
the enemies in the administration Of the
Treasurer, when it shall know how anX-
ious the people are to see this whole &C
count of loss, will post itself up and give
us some light Give us each item. Tell
us who have the $4,000, and what kind
of voucher the Treasurer has taken for it.
Let us have the history of the transac-
ton. Did it originate with MCKINNEY,
or had the transaction its origin in the
mysterious iinanciering of HOLMES while
he attended to the financial affairs of the
State? Who are the parties implicated
over whose hacks the evening organ
Aourishes its lash so valiantly. We will
make a suggestion: that the Governor
ask three of our best financial men OF
both parties to examine into not only this
transaction, but the others limited at Sc
darkly and mysteriously, and to make Q
report to the public. Let us know why
it became necessary for the State to BEG
Of the Michigan Central Railroad Com
pany that they would anticipate the pay
ment of their tax due in February? vii
he do this? Dare he do il? We believe
not. The account of which the $50, 000
are only an item is too fearful to be OK
posed so long as it can be concealed

THE TRAGEDY AT LAwBENCE.-We
publish in another column some of the
incidents of the awful tragedy at Law
renee, Mass-the falling of the Pember-
ton Mills which occurred on the 10th
inst The most complete list of dead aud
missing that has appeared is contained
in the Lawrence Sentinel, and figures up
as follows Dead, 90; missing, 107, 1t
makes the number badly wounded 100,
Thousands of dollars have been sent
from Boston, New York, and the neigh
boring cities and villages for the relief
of the sufferers and it is said that there
are thirty thousand people in the city of
Lawrence from other places, many OF
whom had friends or relations working in
the mill From the testimony before the
Jury of inquest it seems that the mill was
improperly built and unsafe, and tho
terrible calamity which occurred is looked
upon more as a massacre than an acct.
dent.
LAWRENCE. Jan. 16-9 p. M.
John Crawford's testimony showed
that the fire was caused by the breaking
of lantern with which he was hunting
for his daughter, who was in the ruins
He also testified to the fact that there
had been a large crack in one of the walls
ever since the building was erected, =
this crack ran up the whole end of The
building.-also to the settling of The
third story of the building, and the vari
Gus expedients resorted to for strength
ening it, generally on Sundays, He con
sidcred the building unsafe, especially
when the mill was in motion.
