remarks.

Let us see what facts are placed beyono DIS
put. b. Mr.. Phelps's wtitewashing letter:
/. Gan. Slocum WAS the Coanty Treasurer ol
Onondava, elected in November, 1850
2. a. such he was charged with the custody
of the sasis of that County, and well paid for
receiving, keeping safe, and dsbursiDg them.
,. Th,se funds he did net keep separate from
his personal resources, either in safe or In a
Bank. as County property but so used them in
his own pr;vate operations that he did not know
within So, ,sv0 of the amount the County had in
his hands.
4. Going 70 the War, he transferred the duties
and effects OF the Office to q friend, rendering
sherewith a ballNcc-sheet or account current
wherein itews" were twice placed to his
credit, so that the account was made to bell
ance, when in fact Mr.. Slocum owed the County
50, 90 more than that account showed.
8. When these errors were detected, the
items which had been "credited twice" TO
Con. Slocum by himself made right, and just
balance struck, Gen. Slocum was notified OF
the discovery, and he very soon cane home and
rcctifed the exhibit, paying part of bis deficiency
Dec. 25th and the balance "long before the
expiration of his term Of office"
We have thus presented the material facts,
as We gether them from the statement of Mr.
Phelps, his devoted friend and successor. They
difIer IN some material aspects--espscially NJ to
the person by whom tho deficit was, in the first
place, made up-from the account given US by
good and true men when We were II Syracuse
five weeks ago. Bat We will take Mr.. PhelpS's
account as embodying the essential truth, and
simply say that We think they don't look well
for Gen. Slocum. Having the facts before him,
every geadcr Of The TRIBUNE can form an in
teiligent judgment for himself, and is under no
sort Of obligation to adopt ours.

Incredulity Personifed.
The Boston Advertiser tells this story of
an incredulous old hardshell down in Dukes
county
There is living in Martha's Vineyard an
old man who has never been off the island,
and the extent of his knowledge is bounded
by the confines of his home. He has been
told of q war between the North aud the
South, but as be has never heard the din
of battle .uor seen any soldier, he consid.
ers it hoax. he is utterly uuable to read,
and is ignorant to the last degree. An ex.
cellent story is told of his first and only day
at school,. He was quite led when lady
came to the district where his father resided
to teach school.
He was sent and as the teacher was clas.
styling the school, he was called up in his
turn and iuterrogated as to bis former
studies. Of course he had to say he never
had been to school, and knew none of his
letters. The school mistress gave him a
seat on one side until she had finished the
preliminary examination OF the schoiars.--
She then called him to her and drew on the
blackboard the letter a, told him what it
was, and wished him to remember how it
looked. He looked at it moment, and
then inquired Che stuttered):
"H.h-how do you know it's AT"
The teacher replied that when she was
girl she had been to school to an old gen.
tleman who had tod her 80.
The boy eyed the A for moment, and
then asked, "H .h.how did he know"
This was almost a.stunner, but the teach.
er suddenly recolleoted that be had told
her that when boy he had been to school
to lady who taught him that it was A.
The boy eyed the letter little longer,
when be burst out with "H-h-how did he
know but she IL Iied?"
The teacher could not get over this OBJ
stscle, and the poor boy was sent home as
incorrigible.
