OF course clear refutation of the charge.

Movements in Abyssinia.

New YORK, February 1.-THE Her.
AIDS special advices from headquarters
of the British army in Abyssinia state
that King .Theodorus is at his camp
near the Palace of Magdala, where the
English captives are confined. The
Abyssinian Monarch is said to be in !
bad strait in "a military point of view
as au engagement between the two
armies is imminent and may take place
at any moment.
Very few of the disafected Native
Chiefs now acknowledge any fealty to
Theodorus. The Chief Kassai, ruler OF
the Tigra District, openly courts the
favor of Major General Napier. General
Napier fears that this Chief, whose po-
litical character is bad, seeks to arrange
q perfect and binding treaty of alliance
with him so as to hold him answerable
for his future acts.
$4,000 British troops of all classes have
been landed at Sedula AID the advance
of the Queens army has reached to
within two days march of Antalo, hall
way towards Magddla from the shore
line, where it is very probable the ex-
pected battle will take place. The
Egyptians, with contingent embracing
many Turks, are very near Magdala, but
they use no caution and still march on
in a reckless manner without the direc-
ton of superior officers of the English
army. The English in the interior
number about 10000. The troops suf-
fered considerable from the heat of the
weather.

An Army Of More than Five
Thousand O1fiCe.HoIderS

Are consuming your and host OF
other hungry eIpeetants herring like
vultures, to banquet upon of os'
trate State.
Your public buildings are sinking dollars by
the hundred thousand, with no apparent result.
Your Lunatic Asylum has already cos $40, 900,
a third more than the original estimate for the
whole, and the first wing is not yet completed.
At the present rate, more than one million OF
dollars will be consumed in what is nothing less
than stupendOus fraud, at which your public
servants are cOnniving.
The Penitentiary was expected TO be built for
Sl65 900, but through the incomPetency that
planned IL, nearly four times as much material
will be required as was originally intended, and
the expense of tho building will be little short
of one million dollars. Other operations of pub.
lie men show a similar disregard of your inter.
est. Many of them are mere schemes Ofprivate
benefit and public robbery.
Not single Radical journal of the State has
uttered word of denunciation of these or any
other public wrORgs. To the REGISTER belongs
almost the exclusive honor of champiOning the
popular cause against the OutTages of official
plunderers. In pursuance of its purpose to
hunt down corruption and cOrruptionists, the
REGISTER will lay before the people many
startling facts concerning the outlay of State
funds upon public works. The most enormous
frauds are known to have been perpetrated, and
every taxpayer has an interest in their develop
ment We call upon the people to second and
support us in our effort.
