The STATE TREASURER. - The Nevada
Democrat, in speaking of the huge swindle by
our Republican State Treasurer, says y OF
withstanding the assertion of some of the State
Treasurer's friends, that he paid the first in
stalment of the national tax in green backs -
for the purpose of beneftting the State, there
is reason to believe that be intends, or intended,
to put the profits in his own pocket. During
the term of Mr.. Findley, there was regularly
made out, once week, q statement of cash
balances in the several funds in the State
Treasury and furnished to the papers for pub
LEGATION. This custom has been continued up
to the present time. According to the state
ment made out by State Treasurer Ashley, on
Saturday evening, September 9th, there was
S63,S39 in the Treasury belonging to the pa
tional tax fund The next week he bought up
$4,000 in green backs to pay over TO the
Government. These, at the ruling rates, would
have cost S56,700 in coin, and there should
have been S7,l39 left in the fund. But by
the statement made out on Saturday evening.
October 5th, it does not appear that there is
any balance in the national tax fund II the
speculating transaction was intended for the
benefit of the State, can Mr.. Ashley's friends
explain what has become of the S7139 which
should now be standing to the credit of the
fund ? 1t may all be right but the transac-
tion is of such a character, that the official
acts of the State Treasurer, and all others
who have advised him to the course he has
pursued, will bear watching"

Who gets the $4,000? The patriotic and
honest Republican State Treasurer will not
pocket the profits resulting from his picayune

The PRESIDENTS CAVALRY ESCoRT, AND
How IT HAPPENs.-By the way, the gossips
have got rare tit-bt for their picking in the
recent alarm out at the Soldiers Home. Some
of Lincoln's anxious friends began remonstra-
ting with him about the dangers of bis exposed
position at his country residence, to which he
repaired every night while Stewart was ma
king his cavalry dashes up to within hearing
of the church bells of Washington. Ii was
argued that dashing little party of cavalry
might rush in over the draw bridge. pounce
down upon the Soldiers Home, seize upon Mr.
Lincoln, and make off before any rescue could
be attempted. Characteristicaly slow to take
alarm the President paid no attention to the
idea, but Mrs. Lincoln did. Nothing for a
time came of it, save pre-dsposition 10 easy
alarms.
The other evening, after the rebels had been
roaming about pretty freely for some time in
Maryland a couple of horsemen stopped at the
gate at the Soldiers Home, and made some
careless inquiry of the sentry as to the time
Mr.. Lincoln generally came out The sentry 5
suspicion was aroused, and he told the story
to Mrs. Lincoln-in all probability letting it
suffer none in the telling. She at once took
the alarm. When the President came home
be was fully notified of the danger, and inform
ed that his better half wouldn't permit him to
run such risks any longer He is always a
dutiful spouse, you know and so the wife deci
ded the matter.
Neither of them knew much military
but they she, believe Lincoln says at once
decided on a guard, which, though not beft
ting the Presidential rank-of which Lincoln
has great care-should at least be efIectual-
And so the next morning the President came
driving into town with a soldier with loaded
bluuderbuss bundled into the carriage with
him, and another, similarly equipped mounted
on the box beside the driver In such
state his Exeellency drove up to General Hal
Ieck'S headquarters. 1t is entirely safe to say
that the General was astounded That style
of retinue for the Commander in Chief of the
Army and Navy was beyond bis understand
ing of the regulations. a suitable cavalry
force was at once ordered for the President
and he now passes in and out of town to his
country residence in a style more befttng his
position, as well as more secure against posi-
BILE dangers.

SOME SToRN.-A correspondent of the San
Francisco Alta, on his way East over the
plains, gives the following description of a hail
storm on the prairie A short distance be-
yond Julesburg there had been, day or two
before our arrival one of those terrible prairie
storms that desolate the land, unparalleled
elsewhere on the globe. The hail stones fell
in great hunks of ice, four inches in diameter
and foot in circumference, and mules, horses,
men and women lay dead in its awful track
Emigrant wagons were scattered in shreds, and
the few trees that grew on the banks of the
Platte were shivered and torn up and whirIed
away beyond the hope of recovery"

EASTERN ELECTIoSs.-From the complexion
of the late dispatches, We are led to believe
that the Democratic cause is triumphau,ly
3" marching on" and that the coming Congress
will be less radical in Republican fanatieisn
than the late session, unless it should please
the powers that be, to arrest and imp-ison all
the Democrats elected, on pretended charges
of disloyalty. Being elected by the people to
eli legislative Office, and being a Democrat
at the same time. Is getting TO be a passport
to military prisons. But We opine that Father
Abraham had better turn his attention to sup
pressing rebels in arms. on rebel SOIL than to
venting political spleen of partisan adherents
upon parties far removed from disloyal ground
and beyond the power of giving those in arms
aid and comfort.
The following caustic remarks of the Sacra.
mento Union, upon the probable success of the
Democracy in those States which elect Con.
gressmen this fail, are nearly strong enough to
suppress that paper from the mails:
" The outrageous mismanagement of the
war for the past four months, with the horri
bic slaughter of Union soldiers, in battles fol-
lowed by no adequate results, will also add
strength to the ranks Of the opposition to the
Administration and tue war. The effect is
naturally to discourage the hopes and destroy
the enthusiasm of the people, and unless a
change in policy and management follows, and
that at an early day, there is danger that the
people may gradually withdraw their conf
dence from the ADMINISTRATION.

The Union Turns.

We clip the following from the Sacramento
Union of the 18th inst:
"As question Of policy We think the Union
cause in California would be greatly strength
ened By furnishing arms TO California volun-
teer companies than by making arrests of OBJ
scure individuals on the charge Of disloyalty.
The Federal Government need entertain no
fears for California if it will furnish the State
with such arms as she needs Her citizens
are loyal, with few exceptions, and they sim
ply want arms and ammunition to maintain
their loyalty, support the laws and the Consti-
tuition, and defend the integrity of the Union. P"
Among the multitude of eccentricities of
this elephantine journal, it occasionally hits
upon right course, but soon goes of at q
tangent In this instance, the military depart
ment Of that paper has bit the mark. But it
will never cease to fight the Government and
War Department until they both cooperate
aud kill off Mcclellan and elevate the Unions
military editor to the chief command The
Union tries to ape Greeley and his Tribune in
the on to Richmond struggle but We be
lieve it will as signaly fail as did Gen. Gree
ley. We have not learned TO work for the
Union cause and to crush the rebellion by
fighting the Union Generals, and growing at
the War Department and the President for
not removing them at our behest, especially
when no one is indicated to fill the important
vacancy. If this par excellence loyal journal
would cease quarreing with and fighting
Union Generals, and would go TO work and as
Justify " cuss the rebels, would it not have a
more rigbtful claim to be considered loyal
sheet rendering ready obedience to the Gov
ernment under which it lives? Who is the
hero that the Union seeks TO worship in lieu
of Gen Mcclellan? Who knows? We used
to think it was Mcdowell, but n0W We don
know.
