which promises TO get into the Courts. Allen
refuses to pay the 81 900 which Murray had
advanced to Wood in Philadelphia, and Muir
ray proposes" to ''put him through as
will be seen by the following letter to DeteC-
tive Wood, which is given with all the en-

orthography and etymology:
GREELEY AND BRowN

sPRAGUE's MISSING FIVE THOUSAND.
In the meantime, there Is a lively scramble
for that missing 5000 which Mr.. Pierce
failed to pay over. Governor Sprague has
been absent in Texas, but he passed through
this city Friday ON his return to Providence,
and Ethan Allen at once dispatched letter
to him wanting to know about it, and re-
guessing him to send the 81 900 to him at
once. Allen expects an answer to-day.
Murray also has an eye on this s. 900, claim
in" that he is entitled to ii on account of the
Philadelphia expenses.
MONEY FROM THE TRIBrNE.
About the goth or 22d of September last
Mr.. Samuel Sinclair gladdened the heart OF
Mr.. Ethan Allen by informing him that he
had collected twelve thousand dollars, of
which sum, he conIidentially said, Mr.. Gree
ley himself had contributed six thousand dol
lars. But, owing to circumstances which
will be subsequently explained, Mr.. Sinclair
did not pay the money to Mr.. Allen, but
handed il to Mr.. Augustus Schell, who. not
wanting quarrel on his hands. quietly
turned il over to Allen. Thus it will he seen
that Mr.. Greeley went $4,000 on his own
''mcttlc." Whether he sold another Mig
GER" as he was wont to call his shares of
Tiib1me stock, we cannot positively say, but
we learn that about the same time Mr.. White
law Reid bought one, and that may be the
explanation OF Mr.. Greeley's ST, GOO subscrip-
ton.
MR.. SCIELIS CONTRIBUTIONS.
The highly-rcspectable Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee has been
obliged, in this campaign, to perform the
orr .l,t, Of t,vn Of
counts--one for his own Committee and
one for the Liberals. He has paid over to
the latter atsliilercnt times, including the
T,i6uRe Sl2,Gm), the sum of 500 900. And
in addition, he has contributed largely to
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Fifteen thou
sand dollars was sent to Illinois only last
week; SIS 900 to Ohio and 900 to Indi-
ana for the October elections, the latter
amount being paid to Mr.. NOcrn, a member
of the Democratic State Central Committee.
Mr.. Stern, a member of the Liberal State
Committee, has recently been here, and SIS,
600 more is SAID to have been forwarded
through him for the election next Tuesday.
VARIOUS OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS.
Other "patriots "have stood at the breach
and sacrificed their purses under a variety OF
circumstances, very interesting indeed, but
rather too numerous to mention in this
issue. Hon. John Cochranc is down on his
own account for $4,000. Mr.. Marshall O.
Roberts plankcd down to Ethan Allen, as
late as October 20, $4,000. Among the
bankers, Mr.. John +. Williams, of the Me.
tropolitan, is down for $4,000 for himself
and his brother for $1,000 more. Bob Muir
ray is credited with $4,000 on his own &C.
count in three different instaliments-$l,0 0C
before North Carolina 4; $4,000 Just after,
and So 800 just prior to the October elections
Mr.. Charles p. McGarrahan Shaw, so late
as last week, put himself in the breach fol
$500, and Ethan Allen himself spiked his
last gun with s., 500 on his own account
This presents nearly the total of the funds
which have flown into the National Liberia
Republican eXcheQuer during the campaign
The account stands thus, so far:
