Something Wrong.

The New York Herald, of the Oath,
says:
We learn through private channels
from Washington that discrepancy,
amounting to some 10000, 900, has
been discovered in balancing tho ac-
counts of Judge Chase while .Secre-
tary OF the Treasury-or rather that
his accounts do not balance by that
amount. If this report be true, is it
not strange that the discrepancy was
not discovered before? What is the
reason his successors, Mr. Fessenden
and Mr.. McCulloch, have had no.
thing to say on this subject? There
is q rumor that Mr.. Fessenden re-
signed on account of the muddle he
found tho Treasury Department in
when he entered upon the discharge
of his duties as its chief. The more
he endeavored to straighten matters,
the moro complicated he found them,
! and he abandoned their solution in
despair. Mr.. MeCulloch has been
instrumental in doing some good to
the country, and in giving some fat
jobs to outside brokers and jobbers;
but he also has failed to expose or ex-
plain this discrepancy of 10000, 900
during Chase's direction of the de-
partment. All this is very strange.
No one will, of course, attempt TO
ascribe to Judge Chase any improper
use of the funds thus unaccounted
for; but, as showing the loose man
ner in which our national financial
affairs have been conducted, discre-
pancies like these demand immediate
investigation at the hands of Con-
gress. Why has this not been done2
The Government lost 500, 900 by the
failure of national bank i'm which
Government funds were deposited,
and the army paymaster by whose
authority the money was placed there
has been cashiered, fined and impri-
soned, and four others, who testified
in his: behalf, have been dismissed
the service in consequence. Why is
it that SO rigorous and merciless a
prosecution should occur in one de-
partment of the Government for
900, 900 lost, wAen 1000, 900 remain
unaccounted for in another depart
ment? Congress should look into
this matter without delay. The en-
tire management of our national
financial affairs during the rebellion,
and up to the present time, demands
sharp and bipartisan investigation.

A New AND GRAND Epoch IN MEDICINE
DR.. Maggicl is the founder Of n new medi
cal alsystem! Tho quantitarians, whose vast
internal doses enfeeble the stomach and
paralyZo the bowels, must give precedence
to the man who restores health and appc
tlte, with from one to two of his cXtraordi-
nary Pills, and cures the most yirulcnt
sores with q box or 80 of his wonderful and
au-hcaling Salvc. These two great speci
fics of the Doctor are fast superseding all
the stcreetyped nostrums of the day. Ex-
traordinary cures by NIaggiels Pills and
Salve have opened the eyes Of the public to
the incfficiency Of tho (so-called) remedies
Of others, and upon which people have so
long blindly depended. Maggicl's Pills are
not of the class that are swallowed bv the
dozen, and Of which every box full taken
creates an absolute necessity for another.
One or two of Maggiel's Pills suffices to
place the bowels i'll perfect order, tone the
spirits light and buoyant. There is no
gripping and no reaction in the form of con-
stipation. III the liver is affected, its func-
tlons are restored; and if the nervous sys-
tenn is feeble, it is invigorated. This last
quality makes the medicines very desirable
for the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous
and eruptive diseases are literally ytin-
guished Ivy the disinfectant power of Mag
'gicPs Salvc. In fact, it is here announced

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The Senate has
confirmed the appointment of O. H. Brown
