CLEARING OUT.

1t is stated on authority that the members
of the broken Tammany Ring are secretly
trying to hide their stealings. Ingersoll, the
contractor, drew his account S55, 600, from
one bank Saturday, and from other banks
urge sumo, and converted the money into
United States securities. Tweed, although
b. maintains bold outward appearance, is
sorely tried, in view of the probable order
for restitution. Said knowing one on Sat-
urday night: "Those vouchers, which
were said to have been stolen from Comp.
troller Connolly's Office, l do not believe
ever left the new court house, but were
burned in the building and the pane Of glass
broken as blind"

KANSAS PRODTCTS.

A. B. Havens, Esq, returned yesterday
from his trip to Lowell and Philadelphia.
His report oi the exhibition of Kansas fruits,
vegetables and grains In the East is very in.
teresting. We know something OF the home
in New York and Massachusetts,, and car
appreciate the interest Eastern papers would
take in looking at corn twenty feet high,
nine feet to the ear, with apples, melons and
vegetables to match. Nothing but the see.
ing would convince them Of the fact.
The exhibition at Lowell and Philadel.
phia by Mr.. Havens and party is worth q
million dollars to Kansas.

ANGRY.

There is no better evidence that person
is beaten than is afforded by dieplay Of tenn
per when discussing matters that are in no
wise personal to either disputant. Our
contemporary is evidently angry, and dis
posed to indulge in personal abuse. We
shall not follow his example.-Atehihisou
Champion.
The above Is very true. Our friend john
ny has evidently learned wisdom. He will
not hereafter indulge in personal abuse. We
gladly chronicle this evidence of reformation
on his part. and hope the Patriot will do
nothing to induce return to the old pas
sion.

The Boston Post building is seven stories

upon the very topmost floor. One day an
emaciated individual, who looked as if he
were just walking around to save funeral
expenses, stepped into the cashiers Office and
inquired for Col Green "On the top floor, :"
SAID the clerk. ''But," feebly demonstrated
the emaciated man, Pm in rather poor
health, and don't know how in the world
I'm ever going to get up" "Well," re-
marked the clerk, impatiently. ego up as
far as You can, and then knock at some door
and send for the Colonel The at,enua,ed

fainting with the exertion, he pushed open
the nearest door, and in a voice barely audi

THE CITY TREASURER HI. DECK.

Newman's bank comes out in organ
No. 3, with a statement about the charges
against Mr.. Deckelman, and says they an
underhanded, sc.
We think what We have said about the
City Treasurer is very plain, and our state.
ments as vet stand uncontradicted.
What did we say about the City Treas.
urer?
We said he agreed, in the presence Of
Messrs. Houston, Edgerton, Borland and
ourself, that he would change the deposits.
We said that he equivocated; that he final
ly declined to change the deposits.
That Newman & Havens were on his Off
cial bond; that the Treasurer was under obi
cations to them.
That the Treasurer assumed the right to
pay just such scrip As he thought best to pay,
and that he did pay only such scrip as he
chose to.
That the Treasurer did talk to the Bank
about taking a check on twelve days time, or
asking delay of twelve days to accommo-
date Messrs. n. & H.
This, in substance, is just what We said,
and not one word of it has been contradicted
by the Treasurer, and he cannot contra
dict il.
The people !can Judge Of his motive and
his reasons for keeping $4,000 on deposit
with Newman & Havens. They can judge
why he violated his agreement with the COM
mittee after his consultation with Messrs
n. &H.
We have always been . friend of the City
Treasurer. We are his friend to-day. But
we think he has sacrificed the interests of the
city for the sole purpose of aiding Aens.
Y. &H.
We think the Treasurer did this because
he was under obligations to his bondsmen. |
