Defalcation of Commissions Doug.
lass.

WASHINGTON, August 10, 1871.
A report has been published charg.
ing John w. Douglass, late Collector
! &C the Nineteenth district of Pennsyl-
vania, and now Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, with being a default.
er to the amount of $4,000, that sum
being charged on the books of the
Treasury Department as balance due
from him. On inquiry to-day it is
ascertained that when the Collector of
the Nineteenth district Of Pennsylva-
mia, his deputy stole from the office
seventeen thousand dollars. Douglass
recovered niue thousand from his dep
uty's sureties, ard paid this into the
Treasury, together with another thou
sand which he realized by the sale and
mortgage of his own private property.
A credit has been given him for $l,100
additional, thus reducing the balance
due to the Government to Sl.650. A
claim for the relief is now pending be
fore Congress.
MIR. Douglass, the successor of Gen
eral Pleasanton in the Office of Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, is de-
scribed, says the New York Sun, as
one Of the warmest friends Of the well
known defaulter, ex-Collector Bailey.
1t is charged that while the latter was
in trouble Mr.. Douglass advised him
of every movement against him in
Washington. The kilograms embody-
ing these facts were sent il cipher, and
subsequently purchased by distillers
whose property had been ~unlawfully
seized by Bailey. Mr.. Douglass is
also said to have been officially con-
nected with the alleged whisky frauds
in Baltimore, in which Supervisor
Fulton took such a conspicuous part.
He came to this city after Bailey's
and made a secret examination
of Bailey's books, but never publish
ed the result A shrewd revenue Off
Ger says that Douglass was appointed
to his present position to prevent any
.investi CATION of Pleasanton's accounts,
and to fix up things generally.

How the Money Goes.

As officially announced to the Treas
ury Department, it cost just $685., 900,
600 to run the American ship of State
for the year ending june 80, 1871.
This is only two hundred and twenty
millions more than it cost to carry on
the government under Democratic
economy. Yet, it is insisted that the
people should continue this extrava-
gance, by re electing and keeping in
power the leaders who are now plum
dering the Treasury! Will this be
done? Let the ides of October answer.

Ohio Radiealism Falsied.

Mr.. Greeley, with all his vagaries
and %crotchets, is still a leader and
a controlling power in the ranks of
Republicans. In spite of the machi-
nations of professional and political
rivals around HMM the teeth of
the undisguised antagonism OF the Ad-
ministration-with one of the two in
fuential individuals who represent in
the Senate the sovereignty of New
York actively hostile, words of cou
sci from his veteran lips have not lost
their power. He speaks them brave
ly, and, even though they suggest a
line of conduct unpleasing to extreme
~partisans, they are still needed. One
of his suggestions-first made in the
columns of the Tribune, and more re-
Gently, with emphasis, in his speech
at Alexondria-:s, that the Republi-
can party, reserving what he fondly
imagines to be its strength for the
great struggle of 1872, should allow
the coming elections to go pretty
much by default, taking care, however,
to keep up, for Interior aims, the dis
cipline and organization of the party.
It is not for US, outside the Radical
communion, to measur the value, or
gauge the wisdom, of this "new de-
parture.n If there were any chance
of success in the autumn of 1871 for
the Radicals, grave doubts might arise
as to the policy of inaction. But
fancying that there is q very close ac-
cord of opinion between Mr.. Greeley
| and ourselves as to the catastrophe at
hand, our judgment is that he is right
in his recommendations, and that a
party doomed to defeat had better
take it quietly. Be this, however, as
it may, it is obvious that, while some
of the seed, which the ''farmer of
Chappaqua" goes forth to SOW, have
fallen by the wayside, and been picked
up by tho fowls of the Conkling nest,
and some have been parched up by
the Administration rays, or choked by
custom-house thorns, much has fallen
on good ground and brings forth fruit.
There is a remarkable proof of this
in the opening of the political canvass
in the great conterminous communl-
ties of Ohio and Pennsylvania. In
Ohio the development of a feeble, UNI
certain utterance of opinion is quite
significant. We pretermit all com
ment on the hesitating step and du-
bious attitude of the recognized stand
ard bearer of Ohio Radicalism, as
Senator Sherman is considered to be.
He whispers timid words and scatters
ambiguous voices about the whiskey
duties, and this is all. In vain do
leading Republican organs, like the
New York EDening Post, call upon
him to take open and decided ground
as to Revenue Reform and kindred
topics, and almost contemptuously
contrast him with other and holder

On Browns wharf series OF substantial cotton
sheds have just been completed for Messrs. Pei

paired in anticipation Of the fall business.
new Catholic church is being erected on sulll-
vans Island, and Is progressing finely. The walls
are up five feet the bu:tresses are completed, as
is also the basement, which is now ready for TIE
first Goor joIsts. 1t Is expected, ALSO that con-
tracts for number OF private cottages, on suili-
vans Island, will be given out during the coming
fall and winter in anticipation Of the requirements
OF next summers visitors to the island.
This completes listof seventeen building en-.
terprises, varying in importance from the erec-
tion OF O 100000 block OF buildings TO the re-.
modelling OF dwelling honse. but giving en-.
ployment altogether to fully three hundred and
seventy.fve artisans and laborers, and 1t must be
borIe in mind that this represents the work now
in actual progress in the hands Of one contractor
only. There are contained in the Directory the
pames OF thlrty.seven other contractors and
builders, no one Of whom perhaps does quite as
large business az the one referred to here, but
whose present operations In the aggregate would
prove very large addition to the list now given
OF ofImprovements In progress, and 1t is our pur-
pose to recur to this subject from time to time, In
order to keep up with the growth Of the city, and
to complete the refntstion OF the malicious SLAM

POULTRY Thief DIsTURBED.-About half
past O'Clock yesterday morning colored boy
was observed by policeman, in Radcliffe street,
hurrying along with a suspicious looking bag
ugon his shoulders. Hailing the boy, the police.
man ordered him to halt, but, without minding
the command, the boy took to his heels. The man
in blue followed in hot pursuit, and the boy,
finding the bag in his way, dropped 1t at the
corner Of Coming street, and made his escape In
the darkness. On examination the bag was found
to contain fifteen chickens and pair Of English
ducks. These were afterwards identified by and
restored 10 q woman who resides In Coming
street, from whom they had been stolen.
