The 1ldskO Purchase.

If the rumors which are now circulat-
ing in Washington re true large por-
ton of the money voted by Congress in
July last for the pr rchase of Alaska, has
found its way into the pockets of the
Lobbyists" The Treasury Department
records show, according to Washingto :
correspondents, that the warrant of seven
million two hundred thousand was
drawn in favor of Baron Stoeckl, who
gave it to G. w. Riggs, the banker, OF
that city, Mr.. Riggs went to Secretary
McCulloch with 1t, and had it made
payable in Washington. He then asked
for tae loan of 5000, 900 in legal tenders,
as he had some payments to make out
of it at once, and could not or did not
want to wait until he could send the
gold to New York and sell it. Mr.. Nc
Culloch at first refused to have anything
to do with such an arrangement; but as
Spinner to consent, aud the legal tend
ers were loa ned on the gold, and were
subsequently returned and the gold all
released. The first check given by the
Treasury was dated August l, and was
ma ie payable to the order of G. w.
Riggs, for seven millions of dollars in
coin. 1t was endorsed by Mr.. Riggs tC
S. G. & G. c. Warn, of New York, and
by them endorsed and the money pai,.
to ~. f. VailIe, of the Bank of Com
merce of New York, by the Sub-Treas-
ury, on August 4, three days after it
was given. Upon August l the next
check was given for one hundred thou
sand dollars coin, and made payable to
Riggs & Co., and was paid to w. L
Jenkins, in New York, on August A.
The next one was upon august 3, fo'
twenty-five thousand dollars coin, and
was paid from the same source. The
next one was given upon the same date,
but late in the afternoon, for S35, 900 coin
and passed to Van Dyck's Sub-Treasury
through the same channels as the two
previous ones. No call was then made
upon Gen. Spinner for any more until
Sept. 8, when a coin check for $4,000
was issued, and was endorsed to Riggs g.
Co., and receipted for by J. Plnnett
and the last was for the balance, 20,005
coin, upon Sept. Is, and passed through
the same source as the previous one.
No one connected with Congress OIL
with any of the newspapers who are al.
legged to have received these checks evei
endorsed them, and there is no POSSIBLE
ity of Mr.. Spinner being in any way
cOgnizant of the use to which this mon
ey was applied. Bymany these rumors
are regarded as false and gotten up for q
sensation. But so much has been said
about him that the House will be likely
to appoint committee of investigation
An investigation certainly can do nc
harm and we hope it will be made.

The Lymc"iny Of Ms Ecpress
ROb0epS.


a dispatch from Louisville gives the
following particulars OF the hanging of
The Reno brothers and Charles And.r-
son the express robbers, in the Jail at
\ ew Albany, Ind, Cn Saturday, by q
party OF men f.Om Seymour:
"ALout three o'clock this morning
Luther Written, one of the outside
guards of the jail, was met at the en-
rance by party Ofmen, who presented
pistols to him, demanding his silence or
death. Written shoute i, however, but
was seized, knocked down and informed
that if he shouted again he should die.
BY this time the jail office was filled with
men searching for the Feys. Sheriff Full
len'ovc, understanding the situation,
came down from his sleeping apartment
and gained the door leading to the
grounl on the stside of theiail. Here
he met number of men armed with pis-
tells, which were directed at him. He
exclaimed, 'Gentlcmen, don't shoot me,
am the Sheriff. But one of the band
fired shot, which took effect in the
Sheriff's right arm, inflicting a serious
and painful wound. The keys were de-
mandet, but he positively refused to- sur
render them. About a dozen # the band
then en- cred Fullenlove's room, where
his wife lay in bed, and demanded the
Jail keys of her, but she refused to sur
render them. They succeeded in find
ing them, however, concealed in draw
| er.
Thomas Matthews, one of the inside
guards, was then compelled to open the
cells of the men, whom the mob had de-
termined to hang. Frank and William
Reno were the first victims. They were
dragged .ut and hung alongside of each
other, on the same pillar. Simon Reno
was then brought out, but he fought the
mob with great desperation, knocking
one or two of them down before he was
overpowered, and left suspended between
the ceiling and the floor
Charles Anderson, who was the last
victim, was heard to beg for the piivi-
lege ofpraying, but this request was re-
fused and he was hung at the southwest
Orner of the Jail.
After further threat to k II the sheriff
| the mob proceeded to the train, carrying
with them the Jail keys. Armed men
stood guard to prevent any alarm from
being given. At four o'clock the train,
with the entire party, consisting OF from

Com issiOner Of Internal Rererne

Mr.. Rollins, who has made up his
mind to quit the office of Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, is, we ale told, be-
ing daily importuned by many of the
most prominent Republican Congress
men to withdraw his resignation, but
thus far their opportunities have not
availed anything. Mr.. Woodbridge, OF
Vermont, has been mentioned as a pos
sible successor of Mr.. Rollins, but we
fear he will have to leave Washington
without this honor, as much as he may
desire 1t. Col. Cummings, collector OF
the Nv District Of Pennsylvania, it is
thought, will receive the nomination.
He was nominated for the place in July
last, and while the Senate was acting on
the nomination, the tin e of the adj
journment arrived and no vote was AK
en-. The West, a correspondent of the
Tribune says, is making strong effort
to control the appointment, and the
friends of the Hon. r.. c. Parsons, Mar
shall of the Supreme Court, are urging
him to allow his name t, be used. They
say that if Parsons will consent he can
be appointed and confirmed.
