New YORK SUB-TREAsURY DEFALoA-
TIoN.-The precise amount of the defal-
cation in the accounts of the stamp-clerk
in the New York sub-treasury will not
be known until the conclusion OF the
pending investigation, but it is believed
in official circles in Washington, that it
will prove to be not far from $500, 200.
The examination has been in progress
for more than week, and it is probable
that it will continue fortnight longer,
being the first examination that has been
made since Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse
took charge of the Office, over two years
ago. Deputy Commissioner Rogers, of
the revenue department, is now in New
York, and the investigation will be most
exhaustive and thorough. The govern
ment is abundantly secure from all loss,
the bondsmen of the assistant treasurer
being fully responsible. Johnson, the
absconding clerk, was appointed under
the administration of Andrew Johnson,
and Is a Democrat.

CoRRUPTING THE PEoPLE.-The C0ur-
Ter, yesterday, published under the head
of ''Corrupting the People" the follow
ing miserable twaddle. The editor knew,
at the time he penned the article, that
there was not, and could not from the
very nature of our citizens, be one word
of truth in it. What his object in pub
fishing such contemplate nonsense can
be, we will leave others to judge. We
certainly do not believe that the Courier
numbers among its readers blockhead
so incomprehensibly stupid, dull or ig-
norant as to believe it. Here iswhat he
says:
'In Rutland ten dollars apiece was
paid to induce men to vote the Grant
ticket at the late State election, and
some men we know of were paid as high
as one hundred dollars to exert their in
tluence to change Greeleyvotes for those
of the Grant nominees. Where did the
money come from? Did Oaks Ames
and his credit mobilier furnish any of
the vast amount of funds expended to
keep the Grant vote intact in Vermont
Nero fiddled while Rome was burning.
Will the people of this country slumber
while Capitalization and despotism is
staring them in the face ?"
KNIGHTS TENPLAR. columbian Com
mandery No. 4, of Norwich, Connecticut,
Sir Knight II. L. Parker, Commander,
arrived here about half past eleven
o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning,
over the Rutland railroad, from Burling-
ton. They were met, at the depot, on
the arrival of the train, by a delegation
from Killington Commandery, of Rut-
land, and invited to deviate somewhat
from their Epreyious arrangements and
make Temporary asylum" here, the
Rutland Sir Knights assuring them that
they would receive a hearty welcome.
Unfortunately the late day of the week
prevented this change of plan, and they
left for home, giG Bellows Falls, shortly
after noon, The visitors, including the
band, numbered eighty-three. The
cOmmandery itself, however, numbered
only, on the present trip, sixty-fve men,
bers and were an unusually fine and
stalwart appearing body of men. Their
uniform was the ancient and elegant
Templars dress of black throughout,
with quaint, triangular, aprons orna-
mentcd with the skull and cross bones,
cmhlems of the order, and black belts
and scarfs, with silver facings. 1t is a
matter of regret that they were unable
to'make more of "a stay" with US, as
we doubt not it could and would have
been made an enjoyable occasion both to
them and our own citizens.

directors say they have never lost sight
of the project for direct line, by their

Chimes Chean H.ahnr.

This intended frightful phrase has
sunk into insignificance, if not oblIvi-
on; or rather the idea of ruin which
was formerly connected with it has
been dissipated by the slow accom- plish
ment of facts. There were some who
really imagined we were being over
run by the Chinese who had found an
open entrance by the west gate to our
continent. They thought they had
discovered dark cloud which portend
ed violent storm by which all our
former labor system were to be over
turned, and our laboring population
turned into beggars and robbers, The
storm has not come, nor does the cloud
appear to be advancing at all, and all
alarm from this cause has vanished.
The pet phrase which took such a
strong hold of our exeitable people
we are ruined by Chinese cheap
labor, will have to be carefully ex
planned to the student of the future.
The heathenish name of "Koopmans-
chap, will also be riddle which will
puzzle school boys, and when solved
they will still wonder why the three
hundred thousand more did not come
with Father Koopmanscaap; and alto
gether what caused SO much fuss about
their coming, when there is still so
much unoeeupied room, and so many
acres that want hands. The only
question will be why did they not
come?

prenaring COR Defeat.

The elections Of Penusylvapis. Ohio,
aud Indiana, are absorbing all the po-
litical attention. Both parties are des
perately fighting every inch Of the
Ground in those States, and both sides
expect the victory. Nothing re can
do in Kentucky can effect the resultin
The least. and the worst character of de
cepiioa is the effort to deceive one : sell
or ones own friends. The intelligent
publie viii understand that in States
ms evenly balanced and as hotly con
tested as the above States-esPecially
Indiana and Pennsy sylvania-no one can
know the result, and all predictions are
mere guess work. Whatever may be
the result the Liberals and Democrats
are now confident Of success; aud what
tends to Increase that confidence IS the
undiscuised alarm manifested by the
leading Radical papers. The St. Louis
Democrat endeavors to reassure the un
easy Radicals by telling them that the
'pretended confidence of the Demo
cratic orators and newspapers 1rould be
a subject of alarm, If the game had
not been played SO often, and to such
little purpose" 1t further adds that
the Greeley men "are now sounding the
trumpets. not of battle, but of victory
all along the line" 1t attributes this
to Mr.. Greeley's tour through Penn
sylvnnia, Ohio, and Indiana, and then
it goes on to admit that, if the Admin
istrstiou fails to carry two of these
three States in October, they will be
defeated in November. We copy the
words:
1.-THE party that carries two of these
three States in October will stand the
best chance of success in November.
We do not see how the Republicans
can lose any one of them; bat before
the Democrats can hope TO elect Gree
lev. they must secure either Ohio and
Indiana. Ohio and Pennsylvania, or
Peunsvivauia and Indiana. The Re
publicsns, on the contrary. can win ID
November by carrying one of these
States. and wtare confident that we
can carry them all. >.
There Is some confusion in this
statement, but we gather this admission,
that if Hendricks and Buckalew, are
elected, Grant will be beaten in No
vember. The opposite reasoning Is not
srue in regard to Greeley, that if be
fails to carry two or more of these
States, be is beaten. Nevertheless, il
Is possible. but not probable, that eth
er could lose all three, and then be
elected in November.

The EOiOred National Liberal
EnnUonrknn

The resolutions of the Colored Lib
eral National Convention at Louisville
will commend themselves to the cordial
appreciation of all Intelligent aud pa
triotic citizens, black aud white. They
display an amount of wisdom, discre
ton and sound common sense which
would do credit to any deliberative
body, and cannot fail to attract public
attention everywhere, as we'll as be the
means OF doing great good. That the
action of the Convention and its plat
form of principles will carry heavy
colored vote to the Liberal ticket is alb
solutely certain but there is deeper
significance attached to them than any
thing Immediately connected with the
present presidential contest.
The colored population cannot be
blamed for feeling that they owe debt
of gratitude to the party under whose
administration they obtained emanei
patton and enfranchisement nor is il
surprising that the mass of them should
favor those candidates which profess to
represent this party. Through the in
fuence of such willy tricksters as Doug
lass, they have been induced to shut
their eyes and go bliudly to the Radi
cal standard, without stopping to ex
I anime or inquire whether that standard
represented what it once did. Pro
/ verbally averse to following the advice
Of the whites. they can only be success
fully reached by those4Qt their own
color, and that service has been happily
performed by the Louisville Conven
tion. Through this instrumentality
there Is now formed among the colored
people the nucleus of a Liberal party
aud ii is destined 10 expand and grow
until the balance Of power is at least
fairly divided The entering wedge
has been driven home, aud heoceforth
Radical politicians will not be able tC
marshal the A trican element like sheer
and drive them to the polls to do theil
bidding. Thousands and tens of thou
sands Of colored men will study the
Louisville platform carefully, find in il
convincing arguments for the I4ibera
cause, and give their sudrages to Hor
ace Greeley man who was theil
friend when friends we're few and friend
ship dangerous. Aud even if the bulk
Of the eolored vote be cast for Gran
in November. the seed is planted whicf
will bear good fruit hereafter. Th'
Colored National Convention has done
noble work, and those who inaugura
ted it are entitled to the thanks of th,
country.

Gen. Grant ON the stump.

In contrast with the brilliant, able,
and mastery speeches just made by
Mr. Greeley in his tour through In.
diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, we give
some of the addresses just delivered by
his distinguished opponent. The first
IS in response to serenade in Phila-
delphia on Thurday night:

From the Danyille Advocate.
The .sSOus-Sieepers.s,

a new denomination has sprung up
in the western portion of Mercer and
Boyle counties, which is styled "the
Soul sleepers" Their name indicates
one Of the most important points in
their creed, for they maintain that the
soul sleeps with the body, after death,
until the Judgment day. They also
hold that God is material and that
Christ was the first created being. and
that baptism is essential to salvation
Rev. Mr Terhunc is the expounder of
this doctrine, and has succeeded in
converting about fifteen or sixteen to
his faith, and they are now engaged in
building a new church, about half way
between Nevada and Harrodsburg. We
understand that quite stir has been
created in that neig ghborhood, aud that
some persons who were members of
the Christian and Presbyterian church
es have left their own churches and
gone over to the "S0ul-sleepers.'

Radical Prescription.

A few days ago, a number OF
Federal soldiers connected with the
garrison at Lebanon, kentucky, ad-
dressed a very sensible and patriotic
letter to the editor Of the Courier
Journal, setting forth Their reason for
supporting Greeley and Brown. We
are now informed that several of the
soldiers have been arrested and i'm
prisoned as a punishment for thus ex-
pressing their political convictions
This is an instince of Radical pro-
scription which is in perfect keeping
with the spirit and purposes of the Radi
cal party-the party which claims to
be the heaven appointed champion of
individual aud public freedom 1t has
been very properly suggested that the
same principle oftyranuy that prompted
the arress IA ihseo>Greeleg and BrowF,
soldiers At sSgb5non, should have LED
to the arrest aud. imprisonment of the
soldiers who met at Pittsburg the other
day, to extol and advocate the claims
Of Grant aud Wilson. Surely, this is
a period of outrage and ccrruptionl
The Hickman courier., 1872-10-05

We were reliably informed, a few
days ago, that Col. T:os. Allen, owner
of the Cairo and Fukon road, has ex-
pressed determination to Immediately
extend his road from Greenields to

connection between Charleston and
Cairo.
We look forward tc the consumma.
nation of Col. Aliens purpose, in the
connection indicated, with lively an
ticipation of good results The Mis-
souri, trade, which has always been a

The meat question is now before the
English people, and its settlement de-
mands the abrogation Of the game law,
which, it is held, is the principal cause
of the high price Of meat. The DEM
ocratic and trade societies of London,
are still holding meetings to consider
what steps are necessary to bring about
a remedy for present difficulties, and
secure immunity from future embar-
rasments. 1t is stated that IN Scot
land, especially, large tracts OF lands
which formerly supported large nerds
of cattle have been turned into deer
forests and grouse moors. An aglta-
ton was therefore begun IL London
against these laws. In all probability,
at all elections for some time to come
this question will be one OF those upon
upon which the contest will be fought.
The league has already made its infu-
ence felt in the recent elections. liz Is
not surprising that people who ably to
leave such an aristocratically governed
country. are beginning to fly to other
nations, where meat is cheap, and
where forest and stream are free to all.

WHETHER his eccentricity amounted
to insanity or not, is the conundrum
which the family of man who died in
Columbus not long ago, would like to
solve. lie made provision in his will,
says the Cairo Gazette, for the estab-
lishment Of "Cat Infrmary" The
infrmary is to have rat holes and rats
for sport, and exercise grounds, with
several sheds on which the fierce grim
atkins may wage war at will. oldest
of all, however, is the final clause OF
the instrument, which provides that
the intestines of the testator shall be
made into fiddle strings, and that they
shall be played upon in the "audito-
rum" of the infrmary-"the playing
to be kept up forever and ever, with
out cessation day or night, in order
that the cats may have the privilege of
hearing and enjoying the instrument
which is the nearest approach to their
natural voices. The will is likely to
be contested.
