EpIsToLARY CARELEssNEss.-The Postal
Record states that during last year nearly three
millions Of letters were received at the Dead
Letter office, of which number sixty-eight
thousand could not be forwarded for the reason
that the name of the county and State were
left out of the direction; four hundred thous-
and were unstampad and more than three
thousand we're mailed with no direction at all.
The strangest part of this statement is that
there we're found in these letters money orders
to the amount of two millions of dollars.
Either the figures of the Post, Office Depart
ment need to be corrected, or the habits Of
American business men ought to be changed.

element was ted at the county courthouse,
Yesterday morning, by the arrest Of Mr.. Will
liam J. Annable, clerk Of the court. The war
rant for his arrest was issued by Judge Minor,
and executed by Constable j. B. Gravins, who
Immediately took the prisoner before Justice
Iewellen. As the witnesses we're not present
the examination was adjourned until o'clock
P. NJ, admitting the prisoner to bail IN the
sum of 81, 800.
The warrant charges, on complaint of Sam
,1el Waddell and Fl. A. Atkinson Common
wealth's attorney, that "William J. Annable,
being the clerk ofHenrico County Court of this
State, did frauduleDtly erase, alter, secrete, and
destroy certain record then in his Keeping
to w.t. list of names of the grand jurors sclec-
ted according to law
1t appears that the Judge went to the Office
about the hour above mentioned to draw spe-
cial grand jury for the approaching term Of the
court, and on opening the box in which the
the ballots we're kept found there were only "a
names in it. instead of 100, as there should
have been. He expressed surprise at this fact,
but not receiving an explanation which he
deemed satisfactory, issued the warrant tor
Annablc's arrest.
1t was brought in evidence during the pro-
gress of the examination 10 the afternoon that
10 an investigation of the accounts between the
clerk and the treasurer the former had over
drawn the amount allowed him some $1,000.
and that this matter would be brought before
the next grand jury. An attempt was also
made to prove that the clerks knowledge of
this fact had some connection with the reduc
ed number of ballots In the jury-box. On the
charge in the warrant he was sent on to the
grand jury, and bailed in the sum of 81, 800
Before leaving the courtroom he was ares
ted on the charge of embezzing 81 300 Of
of money belonging to the county:
The Justice committed him to jail, but stat
ed that during the night he would take bail in
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance this
morning at ! | o'clock, to which hour the case

re- For CoSGHEss.-I notice in the Clarke
Courier the following communication from this
city: y.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, June 1S, 1872.
Editor Clarke Courier: We do not often see
copies Of your valuable paper, but notice to-day
an extract from your editorial columns, copied
in our much przad Alexandria Gazette, in
which you propose US Congressional candidate
your fellow. county-man, Mnj. ). }. &. Moore; ;
and VIII lSt your opinions OF his capablllty for
the position, his. deserved popularity, Ne, &c,
are given in the strongest language. his many
friends IN this city know that the hall has not
been told. How rarely you see such multi
plcity of noble traits embodied within the bos
ON of any man. We are yet to see the man,
woman or child, who knows the gentleman you
have put forward for Congressional honors, that
does not honor and admire him for his manly
virtues, noble actions and generous IMPULSES
A Christian mar, free from deceit, enjoying the
confidence of all classes, generous to H ault,
thousands can testify to the simplicity and prl-
vacy which have always enshroudcd his many
kindly acts. As gallant soldier OF the army of
Northern Virginia, his record for bravery and
patriotism is well.known. a lawyer of remark
able brilIiancy, profound thinker, q fluent
speaker, ready debater, logical reasoner, he
exerts wonderful influence upon all with whom
he is brought in contact; and further he Is not
politician, and we admire him for that rs much
as for any virtue he possesses, for the people are
completely Disguised with professional Eollti-
clans and the political tricksters OF the present
day. He is one of the people, and the people
would do themselves honor by placing in posi-
ton men of incorruptible integrity, whose hon
esty is hey nd rcproach and who could not be
tempered with by bribery and corrupt nilu-
enccs, and who would not make fortunes for
themselves by fleeing every party who may,
BY force of circumstances be brought within
their power. Away with your poticlans we
have seen full enough Of their Vaccinations and
pray to be delivered from their clutches, Our
people here would of course prefer an Alexsn-
drian to represent the District IN Congress- but
if we cannot be gratifed in that particular we
would have at least in the person of Mai Moore
gentleman whose ancestry for several genera
tons were Alexandrians, and well known to
many of our older citizens. At any rate it is to
be hoped that the delegates to the nominating
convention will be instructed to vote first and
lust for honest men, who will honestly repre- ent
the virtue and intelligence of the people at large.
With many wishes Tor your welfare and the
prosperity of our new sister county, Clarke and
for the success Of Clarke's candidate for Con-
grcss, l am truly yours &c,

their cultivation. The crop is kept well cult

befalls the crop, it will surpass any previously
grown both in quality and quantity.

GRANT A DRFAULTRR.-TheW Washing
ton correspondent of the Savannah Neus,
telegraphing on the 2Sth, details the fol.
lowing interesting item:
The greatest sensation. has prevailed
here. to-day. caused by the discovery
that no less O person than President
Grant has for more than twenty years
becn defaulter.' It seems that during
the Mexican war, Grant, who was then q
lieutenant in the army. acted as COM
missary and quartermaster. At the close
OF the war, there was deficit of $5, 600
in his accounts. His attention was re-.
peatedly called to it by the accounting
officers OF the Treasury, and repeated
demands were made upon him to pony
mp, but he never condescended to take
the least notice Of the unanswerable let
tera which @e-c addressed 10 h;m. g.
had spent the money, and, Of course,
was unable to return it; for in those DAYS
his character and habits were suoh that
no one would think of lending or giving
him even 80 much as five dollar note
Iu 1862, through some hocus nocus, a
bill was engineered through Congress,
appropriating 81, 900 to him, in compen.
sation Of sum of equal amount, alleged
by him to have been stolen from him in
1848, when quartermaster in Mexico.
But. to Grants great disgust. the Trea-
sury officials pounced upon this 81, 900,
and carried it. to the credit of the old
SCORE. It was then thought that there
might be some chance OF getting the re-.
malnder, and again was Grant notified
that he was in default and urged to set-
tie his little bill, but 1t was Of no avail;
and to this day, with she exception OF
the $1,000 credit, Ulysses s. Grant ia
shown ON the Treasury ledgers to have
owed the United States Sc. 900 for more
than twenty years. Any explananation
his white washing friends can offer oi
this transaction, tho people will be very
glad to hear.
