TIE CLERK OF THE DISTRICT SUPREME
CorET-The Daiy trion. published ut Nash.
vile, Tennessee, pays the folio wing handsome
tribute TO the character OF Return J. Meigs
r-cently appointed Clerk OF the Supreme Court
of the District OF Columbia:
"HoN X. J. MEIGs.-Ihe telegram has already
informed us that onr late di>.!n= uished fellow
citizen. Return j. Meigs. has been appointed
clerk OF the district Supreme court at Wash
lngton. Mr.. Mei2s would have gracpd not only
the cierkshlr hut the bench. He possesses ex-
tIaordinary legal acq uirements. and his intac-
rIty is pare and unsuIlied. Persons who have
known him intimately from his boyhood, say
that, in his devotion to principle, he never
seemed to think of expediency apar; from
truth. He always exhibited supreme contempt
fer time serving politics. In this State he nos :
sessed the confidence o. the people in an un-
usual degree, and he enjoyed perhaps the most
lucrative practice in the Tennessee bar. Truly
conservative, sagacious and far r-sighted, he is
OF necessity progressive in his views, and tue
trend OF humanity and equal rights. His alb
sence from Tennessee at crisis like the prese Mt
is much to be regretted"

dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.l
WASHINGTON. April s.--An officer in the
Quartelmasters Department has recently ab-
seconded with large amount Of public funds
intended for the 5th Corps. He was last seen
in Washington on the 10th ult., when ia called
upon Riggs Il Co., to cash a check for some
Sa0,tGD. The money wa, paid in small notes
Leaving his uniform at his hotel, he took The
cars for baltimore, where he was seen in COM
pany with several u. $. army officers. He WAS
traced to New York, thence to Troy, and at
length TO Toronto Canada.
The officer is one in whom the greatest con-
fidence was repOsed by all who knew him.
He is an elderly man, and has family living
in Massachusetts, 1t is said that he left be-
hind him, in the army, his photograph and all
his priva papers, besides about S400 OF his
own money. Large snms were entrusted to
him by personal friends, who have received
evidence that their money was used according
to directions given.
The general opinion is that the delinquent
while in liquor, either lost portion of the
money At tho gaming table or had it stolen from
him, and fearing the consequences, took flight.
There can be no doubt Of his ultimate capture
