presume many of your readers have OBJ
served the course lately pursued by that
vilest of sheets, the New York Herald.
This paper is really not deserving the sup
port of any true friend OF the Union. 1t
will be seen thatit calls upon all merchants
who have dealings with the South to close
up their affairs as soon as possible, and
eounsels those who hold Southern stocks of
any kind, or securities of the General Gov
eminent, to realize upon them at once and
concludes with the declaration that bankers
Mt home and abroad should prepare them
selves for an inevitable panic in money af-
fairs. Now this is no doubt done out of a
desire to create a sensation. Could there be
any more reasonable and disunion senti-
ments published by any one 2 1t is known
that the Herald has lately espoused the
cause of Breckenridge and therefore ex-
poets to make votes for its party by this
course. Rejecting, conservative men, North
and South, will not be frightened by such
stuff; and in place of making votes for
Breckenridge, it will actually have the cou-
trary effect. Lincoln will be elected, and
the Union aoiH not be djssol0ed, notwith-
standing the predictions of the New York
Herald and the Southern Democrats and
Fire Eaters. 3.

The entire expense is IL cents. Visitors
are required to have permits to enter.-This
is quite a place of resort. The grounds are
generally thronged, especially in the after
noon and evening. The Mount Vernon
Cemetery is near by. The entrance, Including
a large monument, is entirely OF Italian
Marble, and the finest work Of the kind |
ever saw. 1t is however not q place of re-
sort. .----
Independence Hall is another place
which | visited. As every person knows,
III this room, on the 4th of July, 1916, was
adopted by Congress the Declaration of IN
dependence, which was publicly proclaimed
from the steps of the State House the same
day. The Hall presents now the same APP
pearance that it did on that eventful day, in
furniture and interior decorations. Every
American who has never seen it should not
fail to visit the birth place of his liberty
The room is seldom without visitors.
There are many other places of resort of
interest in and around the city, that would
amply reward a visit, but my limited time
allowed me to visit only very few of them.
Among the most important are the Girard
College, the Eastern Pcnitentiary,t the various
benevolent Institutions, Art Societies rooms,
Literary and Scientific Institutions, Medi-
cal Institutes, the Merchants Exchange, u.
S. Mint, Custom House. Navy Yard, and
many places outside of the city. In fact a
person could spend a week or ten days
profitably in sight seeing, and not tire.
Very few persons have any idea in regard
to the actual work performed by the Allan
tic Telegraph during the brief time of its
existence. From one of the city papers l

HEAVY DEFALCATON IN THE NEW

The Post O1ce Takoa Possession BY

DISAPPEARANCE OF MR. FOWLER.

Nrw YoaK. May IA.
On Saturday last, Mr.. Orfunt arrived here
from Washington with instructions to take pee
session of the New York Post Office. and csus
the immediate arrest of Isaac v Fowler He
proceeded to carry out the first paat Of his in
structions. and assumed the entire charge OF
the Post Office. which he now holds. With re-
gard to the arrest Of Mr.. Fowler, the matter
was placed 10 the hands Of the District Attor-
ney, who iseued q warrant tor his arrest, on
Saturday. and placed it it the hands Of Capt.
Ryndera. the United States Msrshal. Imme-
diate search was made for Mr.. Fowler. which
has been continued up to the present time. so
far without success Mr.. Fowler left the New
York Hotel. where he has resided for the last
| ten years, at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, since
which time no one except the two or three in
innate friends who accompanied hin. has been
able to ascertain his whereabouts. Fowler's
alleged defalcstion is variously estimated at
from 375 900 to 5000, ,OOO His most intimate
friends declare that it will not exceed $4,000.
The whole deficiency is said to have occur
red under the administration Of President
Pierce. Its being made known at the present
time is alleged to be Of political nature, and
imm ediately connected with the proceedings
Of the Charleston Convention. The present
bondsmen of Mr.. Fowler are George Law and
Gustavus A. Conover; but as the defalcasion oc-
Cured under . former administration, before
they became his bondsmen, it is contended
they are not liable
The causes Of the defalcation are said to
have arisen fr, IN the too great liberality Of
Mr.. Fowler to his friends, to whom he made
tempo ary loans Of the government money for
the purpose of extricating them from difficulty.
and which they failed to replace. 1t is also
stat to2 hot he bor III m
the Stock Exchange, for the purpose Of making
up the deficit, but always with i'll luck.
Mr.. King, the Assistant Post Master Gener-
al, is in townao look after the interests Of the
government.
