UNITED STATES TREASURER SPINNER had
headache Saturday. The geld spectators
at once started report that McCulloch was
dead and succeeded in efecting rise of one
per cent. in gold. A bad cold, judging from
this incident, would be followed by a rise Of
TWO per cent, fever of three per cent, and
chronic disease of the heart would delay re-
turn to specie payments indefinitely. Upon
SO sledner threads do the monetary interests
ofthe country hang. II there is any patriot
ism in the doctors, let them look to Mr.. Spin.
ners health, and be sure that Secretary Nc
Culloch has tight boots and a warm overcoat.

THE DRAMA.--It was discreditable. last eve
ming, that so small a company assembled to
witness the performance Of the chaste and ell
egant comedy of "Caste by the Continental
Theatre Company from Boston. This COM
pany we pronounce, in accordance with the
judgment of the most competent dramatic
critics in Portland, to be the most accom-
plished and generally deserving that has visit
ed this city for years. The cast of the pieces
last evening was not calculated, we Judge, to
bring out the full strength of the company
yet 1t gave scope for the exhibition of genuine
ability on the part of at least four of the play
ers. Miss Bella Hewitt is petite and attractive
in person, and exquisitely sprightly and ex-
pressivs in manner. As Polly -Escles in
"Caste" and Gertrude in the LOAN of a
Lover" her vivacity and abandon were re-
ceived with unmistakable indications of an.
proyal Miss Lizzie Campbell is, in her differ.
emit way, an actress OF far more than average
merit. VIM. Scallan, in the comic roles, never
fails to call out shouts of laughter, and VIM
Harris is admirable in the less prominent parts
which he assumes.
The bill for this evening presents great at.
fractions, and we hope to see an audience
worthy of the occasion.

Col. Frank a. Jones, Mail Agent on the
route from this city to Bangor, died very sud-
denly yesterday, in the mail car, between Fall
mouth and Cumberland. a7 u stsd s4f
He has been off duty since the last week in
December, when he was attacked with bleed
ing at the lungs. Having recover sufficiently,
as he thought, to resume duty, he started yes
terlay in the mail car, accompanied by his
wife and MIR. James Harris, the latter having
performed the duty during Col. Jones's i'll
ness. Mr.. Harris left the car at Falmouth,
and Immediately afterwards Col. j. remarked
to his wife that there was no necessity for Mr.
FL. to have come out az he (Col. j. felt strong
and well enough TO do TIRE whole business. A
moment or two after he attempted to say
something but could not speak, and was fall
ing when his wife caught him. BE was then
apparently lifeless. The train stopped at
Cumberland and signaled the inward bound
train (Which does not stop at that stat:on) to
haul up, which ii did and Col. Jones was
placed on board and brought back to the city
Two surgeons We're immediately at hand who
pronounced him dead, probably from conges-
ton of the lungs. aara srn 81
Col. Jones resided for many years at the
Sandwich Islands ana acquired great popu-
larity there. He was printer by profession
When the Daily Press was started he was en-
gagged as its local editor, which situation he
held about three months, when he enlisted in
the service of his country and received an ap-
pointment as Captain in the 25th Maine Regi-
ment under Col. Frank Fessenden. He was
mustered in Sept. %, 1862, and the regiment
a nine months's one-was mustered out July
TO- 1868. He afterward received the appoint
ment of Captain of Co. l, 3Oth Maine volun-
teers, under Col. Frank Fessenden, and served
from Dec IS, 1868, to Aug. 90 1865, when he
was honorably discharged.
The regiment was in the 10Th Army Corps,
Department of the Gulf, and Col. Jones was
with it in all its engagements; especially that
at Cane River, an account of which lie wrote
for the Press after his return home. For val
liant conduct he received brevet as Colonel.
After the war Col. Jones resumed his pro-
fession, and was engaged as compositor in the
Office of the Press until he received his ap-
peintment as Mail Agent. He was one of the
most kind hearted men we ever became &C.
quainted with, and his genial disposition
gained for him hosts of friends who will drop
a tear over his early decease.
Col. Jones leaves a wife, a mother and an
invalid brother to mourn his sudden death.
His father, Capt. David Jones, died almost as
suddenly. His wife Is daughter of Rev. s.
H. Merrill, who. was formerly pastor of the
Bethel Church, and Chaplain in the army
during the war. The afflicted family win re-
ceive the sympathy of all who had the pleas
ure OF the acquaintance CT the deceased.

Treasury Corruption-The Presidents
.t Duty,


There is just and widespread in
dignation felt, not only in Wall
street, but among the business pub
lie generally, at the conduct of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Assistant Treasurer in selling gold
and five-twenties at the present criti-
cal juncture in the money market,
when it is being made artificially
stringent by strong combination of
gold and stock speculators, whose
object is to create panic, The unan-
lmous opinion of disinterested and
reputable men in the financial COM
munity is that NIessrs. McCulloch
and Van Dyck have acted as the
mere tools of this stock k-jobbing,
gold-gambling combination, AID
have. therefore, abused the trust con-
confided to them and proved them
selves unworthy of their position.
This is q grave suspicion, but all the
circumstances of the case go to prove
that it is well founded. Moreover,
it is not the first time that they have
played into the hands of bull and
bear combinations in gold and stock
and brought scandal upon the de-
partment It is, therefore, high
time that such n gross abuse should
be stopped, and that stock -jobbers
and gold-gamblers should cease to
control the administration and re-
sources of the Treasury. We, there
fore, call upon the President to act
promptly in this matter by suspend
ing Mr.. McCulloch and Mr.. Van
Dych from Office, and ordering an i'm
mediate investigation into the affairs
of the Treasury. They are evidently
using their official position to pro-
mote their interest as tock-jobbers
and gold spectators, regardless of
the injury they may infiict upon the
public, and as such they are dis
grace to the Government.
1t has been rumored Of late that
gold has been borrowed from the
sub-Treasury by prominent bear
spectators for purposes best known
to themselves, and although we do not
vouch for the truth of the report,
1t calls for investigation. The mo-
netary stringency in Wall street
was so great yesterday that quarter
per cent. per diem was paid for
loans, and but for the secret aid of
the Treasury this would have been
impossible. The question is asked,
why did Mr.. McCulloch sell gold
when the premium was ten per cent.
higher and the money market was
beyond the reach of disturbance, and
why, if he had five-twenties to sell,
he did not pursue u similar course?
How far the blame rests upon the
Assistant Treasurer, we cannot say;
but as Mr.. McCuloch is the respon-
sible head of the department, he
must bear the odium of all that has
occurred, and the President should
not shrink from the performance of
his duty in suspending him on ac-
count of any merely personal consi-
derations. The public service re-
quires that it should be done, and
that whatever corruption there is in
the department should be laid bare
by an investigating committee.
