This is what gathered from alr. King him
SELF Now, my theory Of the manner in which
this large debt appeared so suddenly in s1r.
Fowler's accounts is, that he made up his
mind, just after the 1st Of January, 1850.
that it would be impossible for him to "kits''
much longer; that he resolved at last to
Nessrs. George Law and Gnsta7us A. ConoYar.
saTe his friends aud disgrace himself; thu.
he at once commenced Withholding large
sums from the post Office funds, cad paying OF
this private Indebtedness; that, in this way,
perhaps CSC, 900 Vas spent; that be then thought
he might as well die for whole sheep a. a
lamb" and took $4,000 more to par over to
hls boodsmen who viii have to pay that amount
betWeen them. OF course the latter surmisc
can never be definitely confirmed, but it is
strengthened By the fact that the gentlemen
named don't feelvery bad nbout their payments
Of So, 600 each, and intimate that they shall
not contest them a. law. Again, tile fact that
Eo"ler's deficits in Wali street have been ycry
much smaller than usual during tho lest quar-
ter, strongly confirms the shore theory.
asked Nr. King how the New York
post Office could be worth fifteen thousand
dollars par annum to its keeper, us it was
always computed to be BY politicians, since the
actual satary allowed by the Department is
only 1000, and the perquisi.s from the boxes
srs but 5000 more-s4,ooo in nll. lie an-

Wien he found himself creditor $4,000. When
continued to press my suit, he a: last said
that "t5e only way Postmaster, in any large

mate amount named, was By downright steal-

The announcement that Abraham Lincoln
had been nominated for President by the Re.
publican National Convention was made in this
city, at an eat1y hour yesterday afternoon, and
produced not little excitement. At first the
news was disc1edited, aud crowds rushed to the
Offices Of the 1,ibur<, Times, Erening Post, dc,
where they eoon became satisfied Of its authen-
ticity, and then separated into squads to dis
cuss the action of the Convention. In view Of
the fact that nine-tentbs Of the Republicans Of
this city had never looked beyond Mr. Seward
for candidate, and that the dispatches to the
morning papers were of tenor that left but
little or no doubt that he would be nominated
during the day, the announcement OF the noml"
nation of Mr. Lincoln was received with de-
gree Of favor far beyond what might reasonably
have been se1pected. That there were disap-
pointments, and heart-grievings, and murmur-
ipgs, that found expression, is true; but it is
significant fact that in every instance that fell
under my notice-and my observation was ex-
tensive-those expressions were accompanied

THE TuRF.-Mr. Ten Brock is likely to
surprise some of the English turf men du-
ring the present year. The old fogies look
upon it as very imprudent thing on the
part of Young America that in the three
important English sporting events, we should
contend their claims to superiority. On the
lst of May the Chester Cup, for which Mr..
Ten Brock has entered Satellite, was run
for, and on the 23d the great "Derbv" is to
come off, and for which Mr.. Ten Broeck's
Umpire stands now next to the favorite,
Lord Por,smouth's Buccaneer. The last
quotations at TattersalI's were eight to one
against Buccaneer and nine to one against
Umpire, while an even bet to a considerable
amount was made upon Umpire as against
Lord Palmerston's Maidstone, against
whom the same odds are quoted. Umpire
has been a little unwell and the odds rose
against him; but he is now well, and the
quotations at Tattersall's show what is the
state of feeling toward him.

FUNDING THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS.
The last number Of the Mercantile Ga
zette contains the following piece Of infor-
nation:
In our last reference to State finances, we
alluded to the failure Of Senator Merrtl's
bill for the payment of the outstanding in
debtedness of the State, the bill having been
permitted to run until the termination of
the session without receiving definite action.
We were not then aware that at the last
moment, the last business day, indeed, of
the session, another bill had been introduced
and hurried through both houses, providing
for the funding Of the debt to the amount of
100000. To private sources we are in
lebted for this information, and also that
the bill received the signature of the Gov
ernor, and is now law. 1t has not yet
been published, nor has anything been said
in the public prints in reference to its pecu'
liar features but we understand that it sub
ms the question of funding to vote of the.
people at the next general election. there
is scarcely question that the people will
sanction the funding Of this Indebtedness.

AN AUSTRALIAN MINERS RUsH.-A COR
respondent of the Sydney Herald gives the
following description of an Australian
miners rush:
"You have so little conception of what is
termed rush, that will endeavor to give
YOU description. There WAS one to a place
called Lamplough, about twelve miles from
here; it commenced about a month before
Christmas, and in the course of four or five
weeks there were from $4,000 to 10000
persons on the ground |. was not by any
means considered large or successful one ),
but in that short time streets were formed, i,
stores, public-houses, two or three theatres,
dancing, billiard, singing and other saloons
built; men arriving with their swags on their
backs horse and bullock drays, loaded with
stores aud diggers' traps; slaughter yards
erected, newspaper started, two and four
horse coaches running to and from all the
neighboring fields Post Office opened, and
every trade pretty well represented; in the
midst of ali, men working, sinking holes
with more or less success, cartng the wash
ing-dirt from two to four miles to water,
fights with drunken men and women (and
the latter by no means rare; ticket-of-leave
men and old hands in any quantity who al
ways seem to have money an | never appear
to work; the police and Police Magistrate
fully engaged; disputes about claims, and
thousand other things that would take too
long to enumerae. This was but few
weeks ago, aud now they are leaving the
place very fast, many going back 10 their old
quarters, penniless to try and raise pound
or two to be ready for another rush, and
those few successful ones, in too manv instan-
ces, going down to Melbourne to take the
ship, and thanking their lucky stars that
they are enabled to clear out of the land Of
gold. And in three months from the pres
cnt time any one going to the place would
find it almost deserted, the ground worked
out, and struggling population getting u
precarious living by fossicking the old
ground But these sudden changes do not
seem to be confined to the gold fields. The
same is to be noticed in the towns, and in
Melbourne in particular; after an absence of
twelve months they are equally striking; men
that we're merchants you lind holding some
subordinate situation in offices, and men
never heard of YOU find merchants; and Mel
bourae's merchant prince, whose name, not
many months before, WAS considered equal
to any of the banks, quietly leaving the col
ony, and bequeathing miserable estate for
his creditors to fight over; these are surely
signs of the times"

Vocal MACHINERY OF BIRDS 1T is diff
cult to account for so small creature as
bird making tone as loud as some animals
thousand times its size; but recent dis
covery has shown that in birds the lungs
have several openings communicating with
corresponding air-bags or cells, which fill
the whole cavity Of the body from the neck
downwards, and into which the air passes
and repasses in the progress of breathing.
This is not ALL the very bones are hollow i,
from which arppes are conveyed to the
most solid parts of the body, even into the
quilts and feathers. BY forcing the air out
of the body, they can dart from the great
est height with astonishing velocity. No.
dubt, the same machinery forms the basis
of their vocal powers and at once solves the
mystery

Gated to the Senate on the 18th, a volumin-

1910, and presents all the cases down to the
last, that of Davidson, all of which have
been amcably settled and the persons re-
leased after careful and thorough examina-
ton. In almost all the cases the persons.
have been seized and pressed into military
service by PRUSSIA under misrepresentation.
are of the most friendly and amicable char
acter.
