"A statement prepared at the United States
Treasury Department reveals the fact that
since the year 1861 there has been paid into
the treasury conscience fund, $50 ,238 80. The
mount paid in each year is rapidly growing
larger. In 1861 only two hundred and fifty
dollars were paid in, while during the FIVE
months Of thisyear over fifteen thousand dol
lars have been received.
The frequency OF fires in cotton mills in
this locality of late has, says the Liverpool
Mercury, aroused strong suspicion that
many OF the confagr atoms are the work Of in
cendiaries; and this feeling will be still further
strengthened By discovery made on Sunday
morning, the 10th, at Stockport, where three
mills were almost simultaneously ignited. In
TWO OF these cases the fire was plsinly the
work Of incendiares.
The hotel walters Of New York are on o
strike. Heretofore they havo received thirty
dollars per month, aud now demand thirty-five
dollars. They notified their employers Of their
Intentions q week or two ago, but the latter.
took not much notice OF it. Hence the strike
to-day, and there is much or less confusion at
all Of the leading hotels in consequence. At
the st.. Nicholas there Was no breakfast on
Tuesday morning, and the guests had to 20 to
neighboring restaurants to get their cup OF
coffee. Matters are at loose ends at the st.
Nicholas, the As.or. the Clarendon, the New
Mork Hotel and at the Fifth Avenue, where the
proprietors are determined not to s'cave In" to
the walters, andthey have teiegraphed TO other
cities for walters, while in the meantime boot
hiacks, billiard-markers. BARRIERS and hangers
On generally are made to do duty as walters.
Four second-c!ass hotels have given their CON
sent to the advance, but all the Rrst-class ho-
tels stand firm. The oolored walters do not
participate in the strike.

"A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald says "The Radical factions in Florida
after sanginary contest among themselves,
have come to the conclusion to repudiate the
debt OF the State. 1t appears that under the
Gleason-O Osborn dynasty bonds were issued TO
the extent Of $50 900 to run the State govern
Inent. The money was raised and covered into
the State Treasury. The Last Legislature au-
thorized the issue Of bonds at six ger cent,
running thirty years. to the amount of $500.
600. They were to be negotiated through the
State Comptroller at not less than seventy-five
cents ON the dollar. The essnt Governor.
Reid, whom seems to be- at logserheads with
tne Legislature, learning OF their cotton, set
ABOUT TO manipulate the comptroller so as to
prevent the negotiation OF the bonds. He not
only succeeded in this. but got the state Treas
urer to refuse to pay the interest on the 500
600 issued by the Gleason Osborn faction. The
result is that the State Treasury is bankrupt.
