HEAVY DEFALCATION.

Disappearance Of u Slated states Revenue
Coll, cLor. :.
The Savannah Republican of the 25th inst
has the followiDg:-
Yesterday it was found that Major j III. Gould
the United States Revenue Collector for this
district, had left for parts unknown, being
defaulter to the Government in a sum esti-
mated at from $75, 600 to $1O0, 600. We get this
IN formation from parties connected with the
Office and from other Government officials in the
city, together with hissbondsnnen-
The departure had been SO we'll concealed
that even the subordinate officers themselves
knew not where Major Gould was to be found.
Elongated faces OF bondsmen were to be seen
on the street, but not desiring to add to a great
grief, v e hesitated to ask where was the collec-
Tor. Yesterday morning the facts appeared
patent, and the answer was repeated from almost
every lip, ''goDe where the woodbine twineth."
The actual loss will fall heavily upon his
bondsmen, three of whom, in desire to aid a
deserving official, generously consented to hold
up his honest hands while he fought against
traduction and poverty, aud who are now Sc
Iiously injured by his default. Gould was a
Mason, and, more than ever, will be rebuked In
conscience for doing that which brings discredit
upon the brotherhood.
Connected with the above facts is the further
fact that the Supervisor of Interna- Revenue has
also mysteriously disappeared, and it is sup
posed in official circles that the Collector and
the Supervisor of Revenue are twins in this de-
livery of the Treasury to 80 large amount.
Major Gould evidently took the western train
on Thursday morning, after having obliterated
all traces which would lead to his destination.
His family have also left the city.

IL THE STATE SENATE the groundwork was
laid yesterday for grand oyster war between
the noble Commonwealths of PennsylvRnia
and New Jersey, by a resolution offered by
Senator Dechert, which was appropriately re-
ferred TO the Committee on Foreign Relations.
If we must have another fight, we know Of
nothing so we'll calculated to awaken martial
ardor as the threatened loss Of the Pennsyl-
vania o 8 or crop in the Delaware Bay. Let
us have no division into parties of hard
shells and softshells, or half-shells and whole
shells, on this momentous subject, but march
to the front with a stern resolve that not q
single luscious bivalve shall be surrendered
to the grasping Jerseymen.

municipality of Metz:-

how can foreign administration be implanted
amo ng population which does not understand its

the middle ages, when the free city Of Metz was by
a slender tie attached TO the German empire, her
language literature records OF public and private
acts the names Of her writers and Inhabitants were
exclusively French. When The league was con-
cuued between certain German princes and King
Henry ii, Metz, with Il ul, Verdun and CamOrai,
was cited one OF the four imperial cities which
was not of the "Germanic language" lt is not
necessary 70 say that the same conditions have ex-
listed for the last thIee centuries.
At the last census OF 1866 1t was proved that Of
242 Inhabitants "a, CT belonged TO the French
u, Dality. There were in Metz only 1T4l Germans,
lucluding the subjects Of the Austrian Empire We
may further add that among the leading portion OF
the communlty IN spite OF the vicinity OF Germany,
The study Of the German language has never met
with sympathy, and that very small number OF

OBITUARY.
AuEustus Beckcr, LournaIIst

AuGustus Becker, Journalist.
A prominent German journalist, Augustus
Becker, died in Cincinnati on Sunday last. He
was born in 1914 in Hesse- Darmstadt. In 1885,
when he was young man, he was imprisoned
for light years for aiding the revolution which
broke out iu Frankfort on-the Main. When re-
leased he went to Switzerland and edited several
radical republican papers. He was afterwards
the ed or of paper published in Germany and
supported the revolution of 1S4S, for which he
was prosecuted by the Government. He emil
grated to this country in 1854. He went to
.ltimore and edited the Wecher for awhile,
but in 1856 removed TO Cincinnati, where he had
charge of two papers. He served duclrg the
war as chaplain, he having studied theology in
Germany, being originally intended for the
Church by his father, Lutheran clergyman.
In 1864 he was again in Baltimore, engaged
upon the Wecler, and afterwards again removed
to Cincinnati to start an entirely new journal,
the Volksblah. In 1869 he became editor OF he
Courier, the most prominent German RepuoIi-
can paper, upon which he was engaged until a
few months ago, when his health broke down
and he was obliged to forego all work.

ton until the time Of sale, Thursday evening at ~
O'Clock. As MIR. Moran has made up his mind to
leave u.s. to settle permane nently in New York, the
pictures must be disposed OF, and the sale, Messrs
Bsrle assure us, will be peremptory. Among SO
many fine things we could not fairly notice partcu-
larry any particular ones, but any is great ex-
ample of the artists work. We might call attention
to Nos. 76 and II the catalogues by j. t. Peee,
of London, an old friend of Mr.. Moran, which he
has included in his sale, they in mis- posses
sion at the time he dismantled his studio. They are
charming English game subjects, entrusted to him
TO be sold for the benefit of MIR. Peees aged father,
who is bind, and entirely dependent upon his sons.
Under these circumstances, they should command
readily the price the artist desired for them-s4 s45O

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1871.

~ THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, from
Its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists OF
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sun, Journal of Commerce, EVening Post,
Commercial Advsrfissy, and Evsning En-
6yess. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, sufficient evil
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia-
bility OF the news which we have received
from this source. In March, 1870, we en-
tered into a special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own members,
the North Ams,iean, Inquirer, Ledger,
Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals of the
East, North, West and South; and hereafter
THE TELEGRAPH will be the only evsnine

afternoon dispatches Of the Associated
Press will appear.

IMPORTANT TO COAL DEALERS

IMPORTANT TO COAL DEALERS.
BILL has been introduced in the House of
Representatives to regulate the weight of
anthracite coal delivered by retail coal dealers
in the city of Philadel phia, which is of con-
siderable interest and Importance to both
dealers and consumers, as its object is to
compel the dealers to give full weight. 1t
provides that after the first day of July, 1871,
the legal standard ton for anthracite coal shall
be 224O pounds, which will put an end to all
differences of opinion between those who sell
and those who buy as to whether the word
''ton" means a long or a short ton-224O or
1000 pounds. The bill divides the city into
three inspection districts, and provides
for the election of throe inspectors
by Councils and their appointment by the
Mayor, who shall serve for two years. These
inspectors are to receive $1,000 per annum,
and 1t is made their duty to examine all the
wagons and other vehicles used for the de-
livery of anthracite coal within their respee-
tive districts, and to ascertain by measure
ment or otherwise their capacity. Those
wagons which will contain 22i0 pounds of
hard white ash Schuylkill coal, or fractional
fourths thereof, are to be stamped by the
inspectors in conspicuous manner; aud then
the bin further provides that on and after the
first day of July, 1871, it shall not be lawful
for any cart, wagon, or other vehicle to be
nsed for delivering anthracite coal within the
city of Philadelphia unless stamped or
branded by the proper inspector, aud every
person violating this provision will be liable
TO fine of ten dollars. The bill also autho-
rizes the inspectors to order any
cart or wagon used by retail
