1t will thus be seen, says the Patriot,
that the President and Cabinet drew from
the Treasury last year over twenty-one
thousand dollars, for which no service
whatever was rendered. And this is but
small item in the account of absenteeism,
for the heads Of bureaux, chief clerks, and
others improved the opportunity to prac-
tise on the same system on much
larger scale. This year the scan
dial has been even more fla
grant and outrageous. The President
abandoned Washington on the 18th of June,
and returned here at the end of last month.
The whole Cabinet, with the exception of
Mr.. Belknap, who was absent for a short
time, all the Auditors and Comptrollers of
the Treasury, and hundreds Of. subordi-
mates have been and are still engaged in
electioneering service since Congress ad-
journed. The entire machine OF govern
ment has been run in this groove, and
every public interest sacrificed to promote
the success of the Radical ticket. Such
barefaced prostitution Of patronage has
never before been witnessed. 1t is not sur
prising, in view of this neglect and con-
tempt Of official obligation, that frauds, en-
bezzlements, corruption, collision, and de-
falcations should flourish as they have done,
and be allowed to 60 "unwhipt of justice"

baptist TheOIOgicaI Seminary

At the meeting at Raleigh, North Carroll
ma, on Thursday oflast week, persons were
present to urge the location of the Baptist
Theological Seminary. The places repre-
scented had a full hearing before the trustees
of the Seminary. Chattanooga, Nashville
and Memphis, Tennessee: Louisville and
Russellville, Kentucky, and Atlanta, Geor-
gia, laid in their bids for the Seminary. The
representatives Of each city were admitted
privately before the Board of Trustees, and
permitted to present their respective claims
in a speech of one hours length.
On Monday morning the trus-
tees announced to the Convention their con-
clusions, which embraced the appointment
Of committee OF seven to visit the several
places bidding for the Seminary, and to de-
termine upon the location by the first of
August, 1872. DR.. Jeter, of the Religious
Herald, at Richmond, Virginia, is chairman
of the committee, as he was also chairman
Of the board. The report of the trustees
rules out Memphis and Russellvile from
the fact that the aid they offered was coup
led with the condition that the Seminary be
made part Of the Universities already ex-
isting at each of the places.

AREMARKABLE VOYAGE.

The brig Abbie Clifford, of Stockton, Me-,
which left Pernambuco March 81, with a
cargo of sugar, to James E. Ward & Co.,
arrived at this port late Sunday afternoon.
Before leaving port the steward, j. G.. Fay,
died of yellow fever. and on the second
day out the disease broke out among the
crew on board. Three of the sailors, and
also Allen Smith, the mate, died within a
few days. Captain Clifford and his wife
and others were attacked, but with che ex-
ception of the captain, they recovered.
Since the death of her husband and the
mate, Mrs. Clifford has nayigated the YES
sell and succeeded in bringing her safely
into port Captain Clifford was thirty-seven
years old, aud a native of Stockton, Ne;
Allen Smith, thirty-oDe years, and native
Of5Steep Falls, Me. The Abbie Clifford
had fine weather up to Hstteras; thence
five days with heavy gales from the north
west. The sails were split and considerable
damage was done the bulwarks, and if it
had not been fer the admirable seamanship
of the lady captain, the vessel might have
been lost.-N Y. Daily Bulletin, May IL,

opera House.

A good audience the majority of which
were ladies witnessed the representation Of
deborah" last evening. The play passed
off exceedingly well, aud some of the draw
backs of its first representation, were coun-
terbalanced by last nights careful and eff
fective acting. In the scene where the
heroine curses her perfidious lover, Miss
Estelle was truly grand. Mr.. Garfield did
himself great credit in long and most I'M
thankful part, and MainelI Estelle was
piquante and vivacious as "Rose" the tan
taliziDg village Idler. "The Flower of the
Forest" of which there is none more at
tractive amongst this style Of dramas, sup
plemented with a most laughable local farce
called ''Nashville's Haunted Houses will
constitute the programme for this evening.
As all ladies will be admitted free, and
many parties from the country anxious to
witness "Cynthia" are expected, we anti
cipate q full and brilliant audience.

Facts yesterday developed in police circles

Three Thousand ApPetites Appeased
at Once-FOur Thousand Eyes Closed
Under Six Roofs.

Not hotel in the city but was crowded
last night. The number who dined in six
of them was, in round numbers, about
three thousand; in one about a thousand;
two others, over five hundred each and in
the remaining three about nine hundred.
The whole number of bed rooms in these
six hotels is about five hundred but as in
some of them there were 'comfort-
ably" accommodated three and even
four persons, and the parlors were also con-
verted into dormitories it is very probable
that not less than folr thousand eyes were
closed under the roofs Of these six hotels
last night, all of which was exclusive
of the remainder of the visitors who were
compelled to seek accommodation else
where in other hotels, private boarding
houses and even in private families. But
it must be Lorne in mind that as the visitors
do not remain more than a day or two
there is always accumulation for the re-
mainder of the population of the United
States as rapidly as they are disposed to
flock in.
The above figures, Of course, do not in
dictate the number of strangers who came
and departed during the day, but if these
were included, it is fair to say not less than
ten thousand strangers were in the city
