Insanity and n Deficit.

7. A. Mccartney, Superintendent and Dis
bursting Officer of the PostOffee Department,
who has been in bad health for the past
year. has been sent to the insane asylum.
A deficit has been discovered in his account
to the amount of between $4,000 and
$4,000.
Postmaster General Cresswell was first
informed of this state of affairs on Friday
of last week, and Immediately commenced
an investigation. Mccartney, on being in
terrogated by the Postmaster General, ac-
knowledged the deficit, by saying it was
caused by blending public and private busi-
ness, and by speculations in water power
and marble quarry at and above Harper's
Ferry. Mccartney told the Postmaster
General that he did not know the precise
amount he had invested in these enterprises,
but he assigned the amount whatever it may
be, with his other effects, to his sureties on
his bonds. In the Department of Justice,
which is investigating the subject, it is the
opinion that the government will not lose a
cent. Mccartney is a man of education and
culture, a good writer, and successively
filled editorial positions on the Morning
Chronicle, National Inteligencer and Wash
ington Express. The fact is recalled that E..
b. Olmstead, McCartney's immediate pre-
decessor as disbursing agent, was discOv-
cred to be defaulter to the amount of S65,-
OOO His lapse appeared to result from aber-
ration of the mind produced, it was stated,
by the excessive use OF opium.

Cotton Movements.

Dispatches to the city, papers of Monday
morning in reference to cotton movements
are as follows:
New YORK, June 1.-THE cotton move
ment shows a continued decrease, especially
in receipts, which are the smallest since the
height of the season. Exports are little
below last week, but nearly double the cor
responding week last year. Receipts at
all the ports, %, ,l36, against 36,402 bales
last week, 40,178 the previous week, and
45.067 three weeks since. Total receipts
since September, 3.S2l ,lS0, against 2,792, ,S79
for the corresponding period the previous
year. Exports from all the ports, AZ, 323
bales, against 22,962 last year. Total ex-
ports for the expired portion of the cotton
year, 2, ,9S2 Sal, against ,9S2, ,S4l for the same
time last year. Stock at all the ports,
235 sos, against 263, 1856 same time last year
Stock at interior towns, 2l,5ll, against
1924 last year. Stock at Liverpool,
$4,000, against 6O3,OOO last year. Amer
can cotton ahoat for Great Britain, 206, 600,
against $4,000 last year. Indian cotton
af1oat for Europe, AIS, ,l47, against 1913, l80
last year
The weather South has been rainy in some
sections. Severe storms existed in portions
of Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alaba-
ma North and South Carolina. They have
done much damage to the growing plant,
and undoubtedly decreased the yield of
cotton. Southern planters have had nothing
but reverses and draw5a since the grow
ing crop was planted and it would seem
from the weekly reports of the weather that
rain enough had fallen in the Southern
States to deluge the whole country. These
reports must be exaggerated to some extent,
because, if true in detail, then it would be
impossible to expect anything but "a total
failure of the cotton crop.
The Express says: 1.-The sales for the
week reached 1C0, 900 bales, of which 1000
bales were for future delivery and $4,000
bales ON the spot and to arrive Of spot cot
ton exporters took about l450 bales, spinners
$3.50, and spectators 2440. The Cotton Ex-
change election resulted in choice of man
ayers satisfactory to the whole trade. The
new board is composed of seven commits
sion merchants, four exporters and four
brokers, all of whom are eminent for re-
spectability and high standing in their re-
spective branches in the cotton trade. There
is every reason to believe that the new
board of managers will appoint commit
tee on quotations that will so arrange the
quotations for the monthly settlements as
to exhibit the entire absence of anything
like the heather Chinee' who made his ap-
pearance so conspicuously in the settle
ments of last March"

The annual message OF Mayor Hall, with
accompanying reports of the different de-
partments of the city government, was
submitted TO the Common Council to-day.
The report claims that the present system
of municipaI government has been attended
nv marked success, and that the admins
tration of municipal affairs in all depart
ments has been characterized by vigor and
ecopomy.
The Controllers report gives the receipts
from January TO April oO OF the present
year at s4, 4,5Ol ,945; deduct amount of over
draught in December, $967 ,675, leaving
81, ,353, ,270; payments, 81, ,191, ,7S3; balance in
the treasury April 80, $I,6l7 ,086.
The mayor states that the credit of the
city now rests ON ffrmer basis, because
the sinking funds, as now constituted, will
be amply sufficient to pay the city debt as
it natures without resort to taxation for a
dollar for that purpose. Allusion is made
to attacks upon the oity's credit, and it ia
stated that sufioient answer to them ID

THE PUMPING AND BAILING.

The work of pumping out the CITY stil
goes on steadily. At present about eight
and a half millions of cubic feet of water
per hour is thrown out into the canals.
The water had fallen, yesterday at three
o'clock, a little more than twenty-five
inches from the highest point. 1t is, of
course, constantly receding in consequence
of the means applied. Mr.. Cockrem, Ad-
ministrator of Improvements, has chartered
the New Orleans Wrecking and Salvage
Company's steamer Usage, Captain Ander-
son. This steamer had yesterday twenty
inch pump at work, capable of throwing out
about a million gallons per hour, and Cap
tain Anderson was putting up another
twelve-inch pump, which was probably
ready late last evening.
Mr.. C. S. Hunt has twelve-inch pump,
worked by portable engine, which throws
oat steady stream.
f. NJ. Ivens has an engine also on the
spot. with two pumps. Neither was at
work yesterday afternoon, but one was
about ready and the other was in the course
Of being put up.
All this machinery, in addition to the
Bienville Draining Machine, will clear the
city of water in short time if the pumps
are kept at work.
The city hires the laborers and engineers
and sends rations to them on the spot, so
that there need be no cessation of work un-
less caused by unavoidable accident.
The water in the New canal has probably
fallen two feet from the highest point, but
is yet few inches above the present level
of Hagan avenue canal.
Administrator Cockrem and Colonel Roy
give their personal attention to the work
and keep watchful eye upon every move
ment And as no water worth mentioning
comes in from the canals, we may reasonably
expect dry city again before the end ot
thiS week

INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION.
standing Casks for Spirits can not be Used
Without Violating the Law.


Without Violating the Law.
Written inquiry having been made at
the office of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue at Washington as to the right of
dealers in spirits to use standing casks in
which liquors may settle, the following de
cision has been given by the commissioner:
OFFICE or INTERNAL REVENUE
Washington, May 81 1871
1 do not see why liquors may not be as
we'll settled in the casks inswhich they are
put up as in the standing casks, nor of the
particular properties in the standing casks
that will render the spirits fit for consump-
ton.
The rulings on this subject are in strict
conformity with law, and have been made
because called for by the law, not from any
disposition to inconvenience the trade.
The law in this respect has been misun-
derstoOd to some extent.
1t is fair to presume that all spirits on the
premises of dealer are intended for SALE
and, therefore, all such must bear one or
the other of the stamps required by law or
be subject to forfeiture under section 81. .
act of July 20, 1868, regardless Of the kind
of cask in which it may be. Every cask on
being filled must be gagged, marked and
stamped at each filling, and the stamps and
marks must be obliterated whenever the
cask is emptied. This alone must render it
impracticable to use the expensive and
highly ornamental casks known as stand
casks" and the repeated stamping and
gauging that must follow their use must
also tend to render it impracticable to use
them.
The term "cask or package as used in
the law, is understood to mean portable
vessels, and does not include such as are,
from their size or the manner in which they
are set up, not portable. A dealer must
not draw from any other than a stamped
vessel, nor fill any other than portable
one, and must have no vessel in his possess
ion containing more than five gallons with
out stamp.
On applying these provisions of law, it is
seen at once that what is ordinarily known
as ''stand casks" can not be used as such
without violating the law and increasing
the hazard of serious consequences to the
dealer
If these were mere rules and regulations
Of this office, they might be modified to
meet the necessities of the trade; but being
provisions of positive law, they must remain
obligatory upon all alike until changed by
the power that made them.

A thunderstorm, not long in duration
but extremely violent while it lasted,
passed over the city last evening, between
the hours of eight and nine o'clock. For
while the thunder was incessant and the
neighborhood uncOmfortably close, as indi-
Gated by almost simultaneous peals and
flashes, while the rain poured, seemingly in
emulation of the roaring and flashing of
the thunder and lightning. In about half
an hour the whole was over, and no other
indication of the recent atmospherical up
roar than distant grumble from the de-
parting cloud or sullen flash of electric
light. Long before midnight the stars
shone as brightly as if clouds were things
unknown.

We copy the following from the Times of
last evening:
On Friday evening hurricane arose
about two miles southeast of Chatawa, and
went northwest, carrying destruction in Its
path some of the particulars of which we
have learned through the Rev. Father
Geisen, of st. Mary's church.
The gallery of the house of Mr.. Chamber
lain, the station agent, was carried away,
and the negro church was lifted and carried
about three hundred feet. Mr.. Howell and
Mr.. Reist had their peach crop destroyed,
and the road rendered impossible by the
fallen trees, twenty laying across it in the
distance OF quarter of mile
Large trees were carried through the air
like sticks. On the property of the Redemp-
torist Fathers tree fell on the house of
Mrs. Turner, and injured the roof. No
lives were lost as far as heard from.
