THE GRAssHoPpER PEsr.-The grass
hopper plague is devastating western Iowa
in q fearful manner. A friend who has
lust come in from Sioux City informs us
that of about one hundred and fifty miles
wide, extending from southwestern Dakota.
chiefly between the Des Moline and Mis-
souri, riyers-to the southwestern boundary
of Iowa, there will be scarcely wheat field
left exempt from total destruction by these
yermin. 1Theyisfll the air and cover the
ground, making constant sound like that

over night in such myriads upon the track
of the railroad as to stop the train by lubri-

afterwards take to oats and weeds, leaving
grass and other crops comparatively ,ln-5

NEW ORLEANS, June 90 Another squad
of supposed fliibusters, numbering about
eighty, was captured near Fort Livingston,
La, and brought to Fort Jackson. But two
among them were apparently exercising
any authority, and the majority Of them
are Mexicans. A small lugger loaded with
provisions was also captured, but no arms
we're found, save single Colts revolver.
The prisoners assert that they are peace
able citizens, intent upon legitimate pur-
suits. ST So
The supreme conclnye Of the Order OF
The Seven Wise Men is holding it's annual
session here. 1t is largely attended, and
its! deliberations will be protracted.

SAN FRASc1sce, June 20 The steamship
China, with advices from Japan, has ar.

The Tycoon had surrendered Yokohama
to the Mikado, with half Of his private ter

humility had left on foot for Nixon. The
British Minister had presented his creden-

BRADLEY T. JOHNSON. 1.-THE case Of the
State Of Virginia Us. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company was argued in Balti-
more last Friday. General Bradley T.
johnson, for the complainant; made pow
erful and well-digested argument. This,
says the Gazette, is the first cause in which
General johnson has taken part in the
courts of this city since the close of the war,
and he labored with the same energy as in
times past. His presence in court was
warmly greeted by his professional breth-
rem, and he bore himself with marked abil-
ity in the management of the case. The
decision Of Judge Pinkney has not yet been
rendered, and whatever it may be, the case
will go to the Court of Appeals.

THE HIDE AND LEATHER BANK DEFAL-
cATIoN-How THE CASHIER MANAGED THE
EMBEzzLEMENT.-A special to the New
York Times from Boston, under date of
June 26, says:
" The modus operandi by which the Ma
ticnal Hide and Leather Bank Of this city
has been robbed of about 100000 has ut
last come to light, although no official state.
ments of the facts have as yet been given
to the public over the signatures of the Off
GERS Of the bank. It is now eight weeks
since the defalcation of Martin, the late
cashier, was discovered. 1t seems, in the
first place, that Martin enjoyed the fullest
confidence Of the officers of the institution,
and through an attentive application to his
business, Of classifying balances, intercept
ing letters, and keeping obscure accounts,s
he managed to deceive the managers. The
following facts are from the highest euthori-s
ty, and will be confirmed in due time, as!
they emanate from one who has succeeded
in bringing an intelligent conditiono of things
out of the chaos which existed, after some
experts had overhauled the books of the
bank but failed to account for the syste-
matte robbery: Martin had an out
side accomplice. Checks were drawn
by FELTON, with the previous know
ledge of Martin these checks went
to the bank in the clearinghouse settle
ments, and after the aggregate Of the settle
ment had been verified by the paying
teller and found to be correct, all the checks
which had been drawn upon the bank were
passed over to the book-keeper, in order to
be charged to the accounts of the respective
individuals by whom they had been drawn.
Felton's checks undoubtedly daily ap-
peared in the clearing house settlement,
some of which were possibly good, as he
was obliged, in order to carry out his plan
with the cashier and escape detection, to
keep an account in tie bank, always show
ing daily balance in his favor, while in
the mean time Martin was ever on the alert
to abstract q sufficient number Of Felton's
checks before being entered by the book
keeper, in order to prevent that account
from ever being overdrawn even for o sim
gle day. The checks thus distracted, and
not charged were to great extent pro-
badly destroyed by the defaulting cashier.
I am told that the defalcation swallows up
the surplus the bank had on hand and eats
into the capital to the amount of $500, O0O-p

The HOLMES MURDER.-The Springfield
Republican says The more we hear about
Andrews, the murderer of Holmes, at Kings
ton, the less charity we have for him. The
murdered man used to carry his money dis
posed in all his pockets in little rolls of $1O0
and 5000; all his pockets but the one in
which money was found the murderer
searched with his bloody fingers. When
the officer questioned him on the subject of
the murder he cast suspicion on a young
man in the town who had served term in
the State prison, and whose repute is none
of the best. This futile attempt precipi-
tated his arrest. The State will prove
against him that for several years he has
pursued systematic course Of stealing from
Holmes. The officers went to his cellar re-
Gently to search therein, and found there
Damon, one ef his counsel, who told them
that he was digging for money of the church,
and had found 5000, of which they at once
took possession"
