SUPPRESSED TREASURY STATRMRNrs.-

SUPPRESSED TREASURY STATRMKNTs.-
According to the money article of the
New York Herald, the Secretary of the
Treasury has now on bis hands two hun
dred millions of unpaid acquisitions. By
the suspension of the periodical statements
of the condition of the national debt, the
people are blinded in regard to it, and the
impaired confidence resulting therefrom is
far more damaging than the publication of
the facts would be. 1t is now stated that
the unpaid acquisitions amount to the
enormous sum of nearly two hundred mil
lions, and therefore the Treasury is in
urgent need of more money than the re-
ceipts from internal revenue or the sale of
securities produce; for the latter has fallen
off largely sisce the middle of last week,
with the omission to withdraw the second
half of the ten.forty two hundred million
loan, as was expected.

March by both Senate and House Union eau
cusses this evening. DIS tt
We received the above announcement
with sincere qualification. Mr.. FEssENDRN
is statesman Mr.. HAMLrN, his COMPETE
tor, is nothing but local politician, who
relies for success with his constituents
upon the personal favors he is enabled to
bestow upon them by virtue of his position,
more than upon his public services. No
Senator sends home larger numbers of
speeches and public documents and pack
ages of garden seeds than Mr.. HAML1N,
and during the contest for the enatorship,
he has not made his appearance in Con-
gress, but has remained at home in Maine
lobbying with the legislature to secure his
election. Mr.. FsssENDEN has done none
of this work, but has remained in Wash
ington diligently engaged in the discharge
of bis onerous duties in the Treasury De-
partment.

Kansas Compliments

The politicians of Kansas are enjoying

Murder OF n Pugtlist.
From the New York World, January 4.

from the New York World, January
At about four O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, Harry Lazarus, a well-known pugilist
and proprietor of the drinking place known
as the "X-1O-U-S" Extenuate), No. 10
East Houston street, was stabbed in the
neck and almost instantly killed by no
torious fighting character named Barney
Friery. The latter is part proprietor with
" Rocky Moore in the drinking saloon
rejoicing in the name of the "Ten.Forty
Loan" No. IA East Houston street, and
feud has existed for some time past be-
tween Lazarus and Friery, growing out of
the rivalry between the two houses Sew
eral fights had occurred between the
friends and patrons of the rival proprietors,
and at the same time mentioned above,
Fiery, accompanied by four others, en-
tered Lazarus's establishment and chal.
lenged Harry to fight. This Harry refused,
and after some words had passed between
the two, Friery extended bis hand and re-
quested Lazarus to shake hands with him.
As their hands met in apparently friendly
grasp, Friery drew knife and plunged it
almost to the hilt in the neck of Lazarus,
severing the jugular vein Harry fell to
the floor and expired from hemorrhage in
few moments. The bystanders were so
Mortified at the unexpected and tragic oc-
currence that they failed to interfere or
give an alarm until Friery and his COM
panions had jumped into sleigh and made
their escape. Captain Williamson, of the
Fourteenth precinct, Immediately on hear
ing of the murder, started several officers
in search Of the fugitives. The remains
of the deceased were then conveyed to the
residence of his parents in Centre street
near Grand, and Coroner Collin was mott
fed to hold an inquest in the case. The
deceased was q son of the noted English
pugilist, Izzy Lazarus, the Falstaf Of the
prize-ring The inquest will be held at the
Fourteenth precint station-house at one
O'Clock this afternoon. Great excitement
prevailed among the sporting and fistic
population when the details of the tragedy
were heard. Both the parties were well
known to them, and the deceased had
host of friends in the fraternity.

Rebellion IN LOWER CANAna
The Habitants Make Resistance To
the Draft.

Flom the Quebec News Of The Sd
The most intense excitement prevailed
in the city last evening, when intelligence
reached town that the draft, which was to
have taken place yesterday throughout the
province, according to the act 9th Vic,
caps % and "a, had been resisted in seve-
raj of the counties in this district, and that
the officers appointed to enforce it had
been driven away at Chateau Richer, and
their lives threatened. Deputy Adjt. Ger.
DeSalaberry, acting under directions from
the executive council, Immediately ordered
out four companies of the best and most
effective volunteer active militia, viz: No,
Volunteer Garrison Artillery, Captain
Murray and Lieut.. Montizambert; No. 4
Garrison Artillery, Capt. Grant and Lieut..
Home Capt. Lamontague's field battery
OF artillery (two guns, and the yelling
ton rifles, under command OF Captain
Gibsone.
The four companies left the armory
about 8 O'Clock in carioles, each man
provided with twenty rounds of smmuni-
ton, amidst the cheers Of hundreds of
spectators. 1t is scarcely possible that the
habitans will attempt to resist such q
force, although it was reported last night
that over 200 ship carpenters from Saint
Roach had gone down to cut the
Mortmorenci bridge, and prevert the
troops from proceeding to Chateau Richer.
The greatest excitement prevails in the
city. The volunteers force is not expected
to return to town before evening, after the
draft is completed, unless they meet with
determined resistance. The four companies
are under command of Lieut.. Col. DeSal-
aberry, Mr.. Justice Mcguire, accompanying
the forces in bis official capacity. We will
have news from the volunteer force this
afternoon, which will be communicated
to our readers by extra. The resistance of
the draft in the rural districts was not
unexpected, and has therefore not taken
the authorities unawares, but that force
such as left the city last night should have
been deemed necessary has taken our oiti-
zens by surprise

MAJOR MICHAEL COOK.

The remains ofthis gallant officer reached
Faribault by express on the eighth inst.
Major Cook was native of New Jersey,
but removed to New York city when quite
young, where for several years he was in
the successful pursuit OF his profession,-
that of an architect.
In 1856 he removed to Faribault, in this
State, and from that time until his en-
try into the Army, was closely identified
with the political history Of our State. For
two terms member of the State Senate,
Major Cook won an enviable reputation
by the sturdy integrity of his character,
the uniform urbanity of his manner, and
his close attention to business. Making no
pretension to oratorical powers, but inde-
fatigable in his exertions to promote the
interests of the State, he acquired an in
fluence in the deliberations of the legisla-
ture attained by few if any Of his associ-
ates. Upon the breaking out of the rebell-
ion Major Cook received recruiting COM
mission from the Governor, and within a
few days from its date reported at Fort
Smelling with full company, which was
mustered into the service as Company A
Of the Seventh regiment. Soon after this
he received lis commission as Major of the
Tenth, accompanied Gen. SIBLEY on his
first campaign against the Sioux, and re-
turning, after remaining in the State few
days, accompanied bis regiment to the
South in the fall of 1868.
Amid the victorious shouts of the Union
army, and the glad rejoicings which &C
companied the rout of HOOPS shattered
battaiions, bis military career ended, and
in his death Minnesota has to mourn the
loss of one than whom no drawer has left
her soil to yield his life upon the affairs of
our country. In offering this last sad
tribute to one whom we knew and loved
in life, all who knew him will acquit Us
of any intention to speak the language of
indiscriminate eulogy-when we say that,
in him was blended an earnest devotion to
principle and an unfinching determination
in the discharge of what which he believed
to be his duty. With little that is esteemed
brilliant in bis nature he carried these
striking qualities which had conspicuously
marked his life, to the army. Patiently
enduring the hardships of the camp, fear
lessly facing the fiery storm of battle, be
has died as be lived, in the one great OBJ
ject of his life, the discharge of his duty.
Among the many heroes whose blood has
stained our country's battle fields, there
are few who will be more widely or more
iustly lamentad

A Terrible Scene.

A gentleman who has just returned
from the battlefield of December 10th,
near Nashville, whittier he went in quest
of the body of a slain brother, describes
the scene as one of unmitigated loathing
and horror. The rebel dead still lie upon
the field. unburied, and in all the ghastli-
ness of death as it fell upon them in the
shock and carnage of battle. In some
places where charges were made and re-
pulsed, the poor wretches lie in heaps, one
upon the other, as they had fallen in the
agony Of death. The excuse given for
not burying them was that the living were
too busy in chasing the men under Hood
to stop to care for the dead.-CAicago

Bloodthirsty Fanatfcism.

Let those who are expecting an early
closing of the war, read the remarks of
Senator WADE, in the Congressional pro-
ceedings. We have scarcely ever seen
anything mere fanatical and bloodthirsty.
Mr.. WADE hopes the war will continue for
thirty years, or even until the country is
bankrupt, rather than that it should end
before the abolition of slavery, and is glad
that the South has held out SO long. Let
those who are liable to be called on to do
the fighting lay these utterances to heart.

Bitter Senatorial Contest tu ssltnofs,
The Senatorial contest in Illinois, which
resulted in the election OF Gov. YATES, was
bitter beyond any precedent in that State,
and the ill-feeling engendered will not
soon pass away. During the Presidential
contest it was generally understood that
Gov. YATES would have no competitor,
but some weeks after the election Hon.
E. B. WAsHBURNE was announced as q
candidate, and he Immediately received
the support of the Chicago Tribune, the
leading organ Of the party in the State,
and entered in vigorous personal contest.
As nothing could be said against the po-
litical record of Gov. YATES, his private
character was deemed the most vulnerable
point of attack, and that was scored most
numerically. Mr.. WAsHBURNR came on
from Washington on the assembling of the
legislature, and received in YATES annual
message the following palpable thrust.
Referring to General GRANT the Governor
said:
He is a gift of the Almighty Father to THE
NATION, in its extremity, and he has won his
way to the exalted position he occupies through
his own great perseverance, skill and indomit-
able bravery, and it is inexcusably vain for
any man to claim that he has made Grant, or
that he has given Grant to the country, or that
he can control bis great genius and deeds for
the private ends of selfish and corrupt political
ambition.
Here is direct allegation, in the gray
est possible form, of corruption against
Mr.. WAsHBURNE And beyond this, Mr..
WAsHBURNE is charged with Boosting that
she had made Grant," and that she can
control him for his (WAsHBuRNEs) private
ends"
In the republican caucus it was charged
that WAsHBURNE had used money pro-
fnsely, and the YATES men demanded an
open ballot. The WAsHBURNR men re-
sisted, but the motion was carried. This
destroyed WAsHBuRNR's last chance. This
demand was made by the advice of Hon.
JESSE K. DUBOIS and others of Governor
YATES friends, who declared that the
WAsHBURNE men must be made to show
their hands. The result was that YATES
received SO votes; WAsHBURNE, %; Gen.
PALMER, 2; Gen. LOGAN, 2; making SO
for YATES and 26 for all others. As soon
as the result was known the widest en-
thusiasm prevailed. The people ran to
the State House from all quarters of the
city. Gov. YATES was taken up in the arms
of half dozen men and carried towards
his residence, where violent speeches were
made eulogizing the Governor and abusing
WAsHBURNE and the Chicago Tribune. At
the election the vote stood 81 for YATES
and 43 for JAMES @. ROBINSON, the Dem
Ocratic candidate.

~ What scathing rebuke is the issue d
this senatorial contest upon the course Of

much power there is for good in the con-
scientious labors of conservative, honor

FROM NEW YORK.

New YORK, January 9.-Mayor Gunther
sent in his message to the Common Coun-
Gil to-day. He complains of the creation
of new corporators, as it were, under the
title of commissioners and also of the
circumscribed power of the Mayor. The
city and county debt is stated to be $780,
100000. Against this debt the city holds
property valued at from $40, 000, 900 to
800, 600, 900, and the county also holds
property valued at no inconsiderable
amount.
