The Washington correspondent of the Baltl-
more Gazette says 1.-THE defalcations OF
Marden and johnson, clerks in the I. S. s
Treasurer Office, in the aggregate amounting
to about sixty-fve thousand dollars, are sup
posed to be covered by the bond Of U, S. Trea-
surer Spinner. There is a debatabe question on
the subject and Gen. Butler to-day gave his
opinion that Gen. Spinner is not liable. The
law provides that the Treasurer shall give bond
among other things, for the integrity Of his
employees. 1t is held by Gen. Butler that the
Treasurer is only liable for proper diligence in
overseeing the conduct of his clerks, and he is
not responsible in the first instance for the acts
of his clerks, because they are not employed
by him, but by the Secretary of the Treasury.

of immediate consideration, and that is with
reference to the increase of the poll,ta to 81,
the proceeds to be devoted to the purposes of
education. In connection with this, another
suggestion is made that no one shall have the
right to vote unless he has paid this tax The
effect would probably be that the bulk of the
po-tax would be collected, whereas now only
one-half of it is collected There are about
