The Missing Spoons.

The New York Sun, under

fact that the net receipts of the
Government, from captured and
abandoned property in the rebel
States, has been nearly twenty
five million dollars. The editor
thinks:

ny officers generally realized in the
same way. What proportions of
the captured and abandoned prop
erty was converted to the use of
such men as Butler? 1t is a noto-
rious fact that Department and
District officers appropriated such
property almost without an at
tempt at concealment, and it is
also known that much of that
property can be found in the
Northern States. In settling up
this business would it not be well
to make an effort for the recovery

CONFEDERATE MONEY IN THE ST.
PREME CoURT.-The Supreme Court
of Tennessee has just made a de-
cision in regard to Confederate
money transactions, which settles
many cases now pending in the
courts. The question was this
A clerk of the court had received
Confederate money in payment o.
judgments, and had entered a sat
isfaction of the judgments and OK
Iecutions on his docket. A motion
was made to have the satisfaction
set aside, and for the issuance of
new executions. The Supreme
Court decided that the transactions
will not be disturbed-and there
fore refused to set aside tie salts
faction, or to issue new executions
They say that for the repose of
society, it is best not to disturb
transactions that have been set
tied and consummated. The ques
tion whether the clerk is RESPONSE
BILE for receiving Confederate mon
Iey, was not involved in the case
and therefore was not decided.

Wheeling matches have recent
ly become very popular in some
portions of Pennsylvania. All
the contestants for the prize are
required to be blindfolded in turn,
take hold Of the handles Of a
wheelbarrow, turn three times
round, and then wheel towards a
stake, the one approaching the
nearest being the winner. When
completely blindfolded the mark
is pretty difficult to hit, and in
many cases persons will wheel
very far off, or perhaps in an en-
tirely different direction-which
is of course very amusing to the
spectators, if not very profitable
to the wheeler"

Two young ladies in San Fran
cisco the other day, in crossing a
street in opposite directions hap
pened to meet face to face, and as
it was very muddy on both sides
of the crossing, neither would turn
out of the way, but stood glazing
al each other for about a quarter
of an hour. During that time a
crowd of about three or four hun
dred people assembled, the street
was blocked up, and traffic had to
come toa stand-still. The females
were young and well dressed, and
looked as if they ought to have
had better ideas of propriety
than they exhibited. The crowd
hooted and jeered, and appeared
to enjoy the scene amazingly. AT
length a policeman cane along
and compelled one of them to
take the right, ''as the law di-
reefs" The look of concentrated
hate given by the party who had
to step off the walk is said to
have been Undesirable. "Hell
hath no fury like woman" who
can't have her own way.

Curious Fact.

Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and
Florida are acknowledged to be
as quiet as any States in the
Union. = No reports come from
them, says the New York World,
of outrages upon freedmen or 10y
al inhabitants without regard to
race or color. But in these States
there are hardly any so-called
Southern loyalists" to toady to
Radical Congressman and concoct
fearful tales about horrible crimes
in the South for publication in
Radical newspapers.
Louisiana and Tennessee are
afflicted with a batch of "Southern
loyalists," and from these two
States issue constant reports of
outrages upon loyal citizens.
Missouri has been in the hands
of self-styled loyal men for several
years, and there is no State in
the Union where life and property
are so unsafe.
1t is the conclusion warranted
therefore, that the cause of distur
bance of the peace in the South
ern States, is the presence of these
fellows who call themselves "South
ern loyalists.' And do not the
interests of good order demand
THAT they be denied the right of
suffrage in the several States

er that the people who, when lief
