From Washington.

Washington. June 0. +. A. Mccartney,
Superintendent of the Disbursing Office OF
the Post Office department who has been in bad
health for the past year has been sent to the
insane asylum. A deficit has been dis
covered in his accounts of between thirty and
forty thousand dollars.
Postmaster General Cogswell was first in
formed of this state ofaffairs on Friday last,
and Immediately commenced an investigation
INTO the matter. He has not yet ascertained
the exact amount due the government. 1t is
thought the deficit will not vary much from
thirty thousand dollars. On being interro-
gated by the Postmaster General, he ac-
knowledged that the deficiency was caused
by doing private business, and by specula-
ton in water-powers, and marble quarry at
and above Harpers Ferry. Mccartney told
the Postmaster General that he did not know
the precise amount he had invested in these
enterprises, but assigned it whatever it may
be with his other effects to the surcties on his
bonds. The department of justice is invest-
ting the subject, and in his opinion the gov
eminent will not lose cent Mccartney is
a man OF education, culture and of good stand
ing, and has successfully filled editorial
positions on the Morning Chronicle, National
Intelligence, and Washington Express.

From, Ohio.

Cincinnati, o., June g. letter from 3.
f. Wade was published this afternoon, in
which he says that on reflection he put the
case too strongly in replying as he did to the
recent communication, that he would not ac-
cept the republican nomination for Governor,
if it was offered to him. "When | remem-
her, he says, how firmly and generously the
great republican party stood by me for Is
years, during the most turbulent and perilous
period of our history, should the republican
convention consider that it is essential to
success to order me again to the field, l could
not disobey their mandates, without base in
gratitude if not direliction of principle
He then simply alludes to the course of the
democratic party, indicating its unitness to
control public affairs, and says that he cannot
doubt that the convention will be able to find
many men more efficient standard bearers
than he is, and that it was his most sincere
hope and desire.

its own. 1t was started as n manual labor
school, that self-depcndent young men and
those in INDECENT circumstances might obtain
an education by paying portion of the tuition
by the labor of their hands. But this system
signally failed, and the school languished,
until in 1910 the denomination under whose
auspices it is, took hold of the school in car
nest, and since that crisis in its affairs it has
steadily prospered, until now its graduates
may be found filling useful and responsible
