Mr.. Lynch's committee on Treasury expendi-
lures are making pretty thorough examina-
ton of the system of keeping accounts at the
Treasury Department. Messrs. Lynch, Bar
mum and Hays, of the committee, were at the
Treasury all day Saturday, and were mainly
employed in the cash room. During their ex-
animation of the books of the Treasurer S office
they discovered surplus of between SSo0,ooo
and 100000 which they were unable to &C
count for. They expect, however, to lind II
duly accounted for in some of the records OF
the office not yet examined.

Fraudulent misrepresentation.


Among the pernicious frauds of the period, there
is which especially deserves the apprehension Of
all who place a proper value on health and life.
The swndle referred to consists in the attempts of
irresponsible parties, in different sections of the
United States to force upon the market vile astrin
gent compounds manufactured out of damaged or
worthless drugs and refuse liquor, preparations
possessing the rare medicinal virtues of the most
popular and eacious Of all vegetable tonics and alter
atives- Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The concoctors of these .1ocal bitters" are in the
truest sense Of the phrase, public enemies Their
fiery potions name the stomachs stupefy the brains
and shaer the of those who unwise enough
to accept them substitutes for the famous veget
BILE Invgorant that for twenty years has been known
throughout the Western Hemisphere as standard
article.
The fame of Hostetters Btters as health preserv-
ing vitalizng medicine, is wide as the world and
the miserable attempts of needy nostrum to
supplant it would be treated with silent contempt
were it not that serious consequences sometimes fol-
lows the of the nefarious compounds in question.
Whoever recommends any of them as remedies for
Dyspepsia Billiousness, Constipation, Intermittent
Fever, rheumatism or any other complaint for which
Hostetter's Btters is known specific, is guilty of
moral, if not legal msdemeanor AT this season,
when the is releasing from the EARTH in the form
of unwholesome vapors, the active principle of dis
ease of Hostetters Btters will be of the ut
most service to persons with feeble constitutions.

TUESDAY evenings papers have Washing
ton despatch which says that advices from Min
lister Schenck confirm the statement that at
tacks on the Washington treaty were instigated
by the Gladstone government to oppose the at
tacks of Tories to the effect that England was
overreached in the Alabama negotiations. An
other view indicated by Mr.. Schenck is that the
English furry was all gotten up to prejudice
the arbitrations against the American case.
There have been rumors in circulation in Wash
ington that the English press have been made

The President stated Monday that the de-
mand of the English government that the Con-
federate loan be considered as proper claim
conflicts with the constitution. The suggestion
which the President had heard that it would be
acceptable to England to withdraw our claims
of consequential damages, was one which had
been submitted to the Joint High Commission
when the American government indicated its
willingness to accept gross sum in lieu of such
damages, but the proposition was rejected.

A WRITER in the Courier DIES Etats- Urais has
taken the trouble to collate a half-dozen instan-
ces of the comical shown in widely-circulated
French papers. The Gaulois, for instance, gives
some interesting information concerning the
habits of our Judiciary: 'In Winter, it is an
everyday matter to see the Judge and the jul
rors remsve their socks to hang them to dry by
the heater of the courtroom. Some go so far
as to pare their bunions in public, and an OBJ

matter of the wit of quo aoarranto brought by

that the Bangor route would take all the
through travel and freight. AS for Calais, it
is hostile to the project of road westward
from that city, and the Republican advises
that Robbinston, Lubec or Eastport be made
the Eastern terminus of the shore road.

Kent's Hill Correspondence.


The many friends of this Seminary and Col
lege may be interested in the following facts:
There have been nearly $4,000 students taught
here, the average time of each being over two
years. OF these, 600 have become preachers,
and $50 wives of ministers; 1900 have express
ed hope in Christ while here, and of the pro-
fessors, six have averaged twenty years labor
each, and this, too, with very small salaries.
Some 800 acres are owned by the institution,
14O of which are on this hill. There are $50
cords of wood burned yearly in the college
buildings, and ten barrels of white flour used
each month. Attendance at present $50; in
the spring and fall there are upwards of 26O.

The City Government and the Railroad
Loan.

On Monday evening the Board of Aldermen
of this city rejected the following resolution
By uote Of .fue to one, and then adjourned:
Resoloed, That in the opinion of this City
Council there seems to be no good reason why
the citizens of Portland should not have the
privilege of voting on the proposition to loan
the credit of the city to the Portland & Og-
densblrg Railroad Company to the amount of
1000, as proposed by said Railroad Com
pany in their petition to the State Legisla-
ture. = +ee -et r
On the same evening the Common Council
resolved that the Legislature should amend
the proposition of the Portland & Ogdensburg
road by requiring not only two-thirds vote
of the people to authorize the loan, but vote
representing more than half the valuation of
the city. The Advertiser of last evening con-
tains this information on its first page, but
does not hesitate to say editorially on the
very next page that "The>action of the City
Council amounted to a declaration that the
boards did rot feel called upon to cypress any
opinion concerning the proposition of the
Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad Company
now pending before the Legislature" This
may be said without any exaggeration to be
conspicuously inexact. 1t is as if person
should enter a house to beg for five dollars
and, on being thrust into the street by the
husband, and afterwards receiving a condi-
tional promise of five cents from the more
humane goodwife, should go ON his way pro-
claiming that such treatment Amounted to
a declaration that the householders did not
feel called upon to express any opinion con-
corning his proposition 1t is probably not
the intention of the Portland & Ogdensburg
Company to go before the legislative commit
tee to-day with any such glaring misrepre-
sentation as this. The fact is that after
hearing, in which the Company was repre-
sented by several of the ablest and most in
fuential gentlemen in the State, while the
people had for their sole representative gen.
tleman who was obliged to present his case
almost on the spur of the moment, having
been retained as counsel only an hour or SO
before the hearing began, one branch of the
City Government almost unanimously reject
ed the proposition of the road, while the other
coupled its implied consent with an impossible
condition. If the representatives of the road
say more or less than this in the more impor-
tant hearing of to-day, they will be met, we
trust, with immediate and emphatic contra
diction. But we are certain that the honora-
BILE men who viii speak for the Portland &
Ogdensburg road at Augusta to-day will not
resort to so futile Misrepresentation.
