eLARIKG FaAUDs ExPosED.

We reprodnce into days paper a most
exiraory abandonment. tbs a pamphlet
prepared by the Democrats Executive Resi-
dent COMMITTEES at Washington, embracing
a carefaily eollated Statement of facts and
figures, touching the finances of the coun-
Try. The figures and statement have all
been taken from official sources, and are
therefore authentic in every particular.
They reveal, says the New York World,
not only an extraordinary state CT affairs in
the Treasury Department, but q looseness
in the management of the nations finances
unparalleled in ouri history, and frauds go
astounding as to completely dwarf those of
the TWEED Tammsny Ring of this city of
New York, which startled the country one
year ago. While the Tammany Ring took
its ten millions the addition, division, and
silence GRANT Ring has made way with
one hundred and .ftty-sir millions in three
years In the management of the bonded
debt alone, and is still continuing its opera
tions at that ratio. The records ofthe Sec
rotary of the Treasury, who is now spend
ing his time in making sttImp-speeches,
show discrepancy of that amount, or the
use of Sl56, 100000 in the pretence of pay
ing off the debt more than he has reduced
that debt. Where has this money gone!
With whom has it been divided? And who
are the members of this addition, division
aud silence ring which has swallowed this
Sl56, 100000 Of the public money in three
years? The Washington correspondent oil
the New York Tribune says:
GAN ths statements and figures of the
pamphlet are taken from the finance reports
and public debt statements of Secretary
Boutwell,, giving the volume, page, aud date
in each instance, so that writer's and speak
ers can readily refer to them and demon
strate the lruthfulness Of the facts stated
The pamphlet has been carefully prepared,
and is strictly accurate in detail, and prom
ises to lay the foundation for an investiea
ton of the management ofthe Treasury De
partment by the next Congress"
This exposure demonstrates the utter in
capacity or dishonesty of the Secretary o
the Treasury. We shall see whether Con
gress will permit these glazing frauds t
pass unnoticed.

WHAT purported to be private letter
from Mr.. Greeley, giving the names of GER
tan Eastern States that be regarded as sure
to vete for him, was published in the pa
pers few days ago. A correspondent q
the Boston Traveller, who has been discoV
cred as the man who stole this letter, now
acknowledges that he left out Rhode Island
from the list in the letter, and that there
are also two or thee 'immaterial verbal
errors" in the stolen copy. 1t will be in
order no to publish the whole letter, just
as it was written. Mr.. Greeley's frankness
even in private, rarely hurts him.

TIE Mount Vernon (Ohio) Banner
says:
When some of our Mt. Vernon Repub-
licans called oat to see Mr.. Delano, when
the first news came from North Carolina
that the Conservatives had carried the
State that gentleman is reported to have
said; 'Oh, never mind; our friends have
fixed all right in North Carolina, and the
Republican ticket viii be declared elected.
Don't give your selves the least trouble
The Rad Gals have never doubted theil
ability.o count Caldwell in, and several OF
them have been bold enough to avow the
intention, and declare that the matter had
been fixed.

THE Radical journals are beginning to
conduct the campaign on the principle of
emo case; abuse the opposing attorney"
To defend the record of Gen. Grant is be-
coming a hopeless task. In all the dis
paragement of Mr.. Greeley, SO lavishly be-
slowed, there is one thing that has remained
unimpugned-hi his honesty.

The Internal Revenue Report.

This is Washington special to the New
York Herald:
Commissioner Douglass, of the Internal
Revenue Department, intimates that his
annual report this year will be very briet.
The changes made in tn e internal revenue
system, which went into effect on the first
of July last, have been found to work so
satisfactorily that no recommendations for
improvement can be suggested. The reve-
nue. from whisky, as well as the malt distil-
lations, has increased beyond all expecta-
tions, while from the source of tobacco the
amounts realized are twenty per cent be-
yond calculations.
The troubles with the brewers continue,
both on account of the proposed change of
One-third cacks into the capacity of one
half, and also the anticipated adoption of
the stamp canceling machine 1t is pro-
posed III both these instances to leave the
brewers to Congress for relief, and not to
make any recommendations on the subject
whatever. The uniform tax on tobacco,
about which SO much difficulty was appre-
hended has been found to work especially
favorable to the interests of the govern
ment as well as to the advantage of the
manufacturers aud growers. The number
Of distilIerios, especially in the Southern
States, has been increased in an unprece-
dented manner. This is attributable to the
large devotion of the fruit crop in this di
rectiOn. 1t is estimated that, under the re-
duced figures, the revenue from internal
sources will amount to Sl25, 1000, 900, which
is $2O,OO00O0 above the figures agreed upon
by the financial authorities when the reduc-
tons went into effect.

Horrible sIurders in Arkansas

We copy the following from the More
house Conservative:
During last week one Of our neighboring
sections, Ashley county Arkansas, was
thrown into intense exCitment over the
preparation of two. and perhaps three, of
the most wiliful and deliberate murders,
the circumstances of which, so far Us VIC
could learn, are as follows:
1t appears that on the fourteenth instan t
a slight difficulty occurred between one
Jesse Butler and Edward Weaver, which
grew out of small law suit. On that eve.
ming after the difficulty, and after Jesse
Butler had left the town of Hamburg, in
company with his brother, Henry Butler,
and Zeb Ivy, Mr. Weaver, accompanied by
his two brothers, HoratiO Weaver and ---.-
Weaver, left also, after night, going the
same road home which the other party had
taken. While on Che way, some distance
from Hamburg, the Weavers were fired
upon by some parties who had concealed
themselves on the side Of the road. and
Edward Weaver was instantly killed.
HOratiO Weaver was also shot, and fell
from his horse, and after being kicked and
terribly mangIed, he was left also for dead.
The third Weaver, who was riding spir-
tied horse, escaped unhurt, and III a few
hours returned to the scene Of the tragedy,
where he fOund his brother, HOratio
ing him removed to a house short dis
tance from that place. The wounded man
had recognized that night the parties who
were engaged in this infamous murder, and
who had LETT him, as they thought, lying
in the road dead. The perpetrators heard
of this fact the next day, and avOwed it as
their determination that this man. whom
they had failed to kill, should die, and here
follows one of the most deliberate, diabollc
al murders that was ever committed.
DR.. William McKoin, one of the resident
physicians, an estimable gentleman, well
known in our parish and against whom no
ono held any enmity whatever, was called
in 90 attend upon Mr.. Weaver, whose
wounds were in mortal condition, and
while on his return from g professional
visit on the evening of the sixteenth in
slant, he was waylaid and killed about one
mile from his home-it is supposed by these
same parties who were engaged in the
murder of Weaver. The party of muir
derers then made their escape into our
parish, where they were arrested at Lake
Lafourche by Sheriff HARRISON, of Ashley
county, and a posse of twenty men, and
carried to Hamburg and lodged i'll Jail.
Since writing the above we have learned
that DR. McKoin was killed by g negro
man, who is now under arrest, and BhO
confessed the crime. and in whose posses
sion was found some OF the articles taken
by him from the person Of the deceased.
We believe the report says that the Negro
was hired to commit the murder.
