TIE following -lucid' explanation
| of The very careful and correct MAN.
agcrnent Of the Treasury by our pres
Tent exceedingly efficient and honest
Treasurer appeared in the organ OF
the Ring last week:
..Bridsc. road, railroad and Judg-
ment fluids are all. couutyImoney.-
| These divisions are simply for con-
venicncc. The bridge fund. by mis-
take of the Collect )r. and the county
| fund, by mistake of Il own, were
ovcrpaid nearly three thousand dol
lars"
In the first place, MI. Treasurer,
YOU saw the funds arc all virtually ono
fund. and ape only separated for con-
vc,,ience (!) Then by mistake Of the
Collector and by mistahe of your own,
you state that two of These funds
were ocerpaid.! If they all belong to
enc fund, how can two or more
funds" be o~vcrpaid. either by nSs-
take of your OWN infallille and im-
maculate self. or the mistake OF the
Collector, or the mistaSe of any oti:E
o.. person? The Trcasurcr'S settle
mcnt" (cxcuse MS, we mean the Dep
u:y Treasurcr's settlement, as the
Treasurer had no hand in it) shows
a balance on hand of $3.50 in the
pauper fund, $3.50 in the road fund,
S445.i5 in the bridge fund. &c. and
vet. when Il warrant oil any Of these
funds is presented, they are refused
upon the ground that there Is II"
money in the fund! The people care
4 great deal more about the true
state of things about The Treasury of
the county than they do about your
an@warran,cd and malignant attacks
II Mr. Grccnicc and Judge Kelley
DO not try TO shield Yourself by cry
ing rogue at your bettrrs. Since
YOU have given us an 'cxp'anaiion'
of YOUR settlement whichis calculated
to befog and mistify the public, we
would request that you now explain
your explanation. ESQ

The New French Minister.
Hc brings Pleasant Words from his Gov
crnment, VIII CHI are Happily Responded
10 by President Grant

WASHINGTON, July 24-Marquis de Noailles
was to day introduced to the presidepd by the
secretary of state, who delivered his credentials
as minister plenipotentiary OF the French repub-
llc. The following is a translation of his re-
marks:
hr. PreSident-I present myself to your cx-
cellency as minister of France. have decp
sense Of the honor have received in being called
to represent the French republic near that of
The United States of America; and 1t shall be
my ann to prove myself not unworthy of this
mission. | shall only have TO pursue the benz
Ol my own inclination in order to conform to
the instructions given me by my government;
Tor they direct me to Seek while fulfilling ali
the duties of my office, to render myself agreca-
bic TO your eXcellency's government. The sem
tmenls of friendship which unite the two ma.
tlons OF France and America are deeply rooted
IN the past, for they date from the glorious
epoch of American independence.
Ihey have remained craven in the hearts of
the people of France; and my government, in
sending me here, has charged me to cultivate
them. hope may say that the maintenance
of these ancient sympathes will be attended
with no difficulty. II | should succeed through
my Jealous efforts in Strengthening them, |

to believe that you will succeed in that
effort. You may be assured that on
our part there will he nothing omitted
which may tend to make your stay here agreea-
BILE to you. Your allusion to the origin and
depth OF friendship Of the people of our respec-
i've countries is based upon the indisputable

sporting men, who had freely stakcd their
money upon Harvard, BowdOin and Amherst
Agricultural, the Amherst crew never once be-
ing taken as first choice and considered as a
poor investment in the field. John Biglin, their
trainer, was the only one who had faith in
them, and Tuesday morning he told some friends
that his crew would win the race. This remark
was received with laughter, but the faith that
BiSlin had in the Amherst crew is illustrated by
the fact that at the close of the race, after he
mad heard the result, he pulled from his pocket
pack of pool cards about three inches in thick
ness and looked about him with a smile. The
knowing ones who are always at the races said
that the crew who had the lead at the end of the
first mile would win, yet Harvard led
at that point and was second in the
race. AT the end of the second mile
Yale was leading, and was the last boat to reach
the winning post. In the freshman race Mid
dletown was hardly mentioned by the men who
can tell which crew will win after seeing them
pull once; yet the result of the race shows that
they were the best Of the four. Immediately at
the close of the university race the colors were
presented to the Amherst crew by Capt. II. NJ.
Phillips, and the crew pulled away amid the
cheers ofthe spectators.

Disastrous Fire at the Erie Shops.
The Entire l. OF of Buildings Burned and
One Man Killed.

New YORK, July A.-About eight O'Clock to-
night fire broke out in the carpenter shops of
the Erie railway company near the shore end
OF Long dock, Jersey City, which shop formed
the eastern end of a paralleogram of shops
covering an area of 300 by $50 feet, the western
end fronting on Provost street. Within the
space thus enclosed were the repair Shops ma
chine shops, blacksmith, carpenters, Jand paint
shops, and general re rooms Of the company
Before the firemen could get to work the flames
extended along the roof of the machine shop
and were bursting out Of every window for three
hundred feet. In less than an hour the whole
block of shops was in ruins.
Within the repair shops were thirty-three
locomotives, about half dozen almost new.
Most of them were freight engines, but there
were several fine express locomotives in the re-
pair shop. The machine and locksmith shops
were full of costly machinery, boilers, trip-ham-
merS, furnaces, etc. One of the trip-hammers
alone cost $4,000 within a month.
The buildings also contained copper tin and
wooden patterns, and full supply of the best
tools for railway purposes. The shops were of
brick, two stories high, with slate roofs, only
completed about eight months ago, at cost OF
about $4,000.
Some workmen state that the fire was occa-
stoned by fires left unbanked in the blacksmith
shop when the men left at six o'clock. Another
account says a barrel of oil exploded; cause
unknown. Still another locates the origin in
the carpenter shop, where evidences were first
discovered. Over five hundred men are thrown
out of employment.
The storeroomS of the company, three stories
high, were the last to yield to the flames. They
contained full assortment of miscellaneous
stores, lamps, headlights, &c. The total loss is
estimated at S6O0,0OO, as follows: machinery,
S175,OO0; locomotives, Ssi5,OO0; buildings,
$4,000; insurance, about 100000 The COM
panies are not vet asccrtaincd The confagra-
ton was witnessed by probably 5000 people,
Two firemen were struck by falling walls. One,
James McCarty, was killed and the other badly
injured.
All the books and papers in the shop were
destroyed. McCarty, who was killed, was en-
gineer OF one of the steamers, and was crushed
by falling walls while at bis post

ANECDOTE OF DANIEL WEBsTER.-On his
paternal side, as given in full in his "Lile," by
Curtis, he came from the Websters Of Hampton
among the earliest settlers of that town. OF
his maternal ancestry less is said. We are told
that his mothers maiden name was Abigail
Eastman, a tailoress OF Salisbury. But whence
came she2 The late DIR. Nye, of Salisbury, was
much interested in the history of that Town. and
has left papers detailing The geneaogy of some
of the families. From one of these families we
quote; "A Miss Eastman, a young lady of
Welsh descent, living in Salisbury, was cOurtcd
and had II natural son by a mulatto man, who
ran off, or died, before the birth of her child,
who bore the name Of his mother. The boy
grew up TO manhood, and married a half In
dian girl, whose father was a white man, and
reared up family Of Eastmans, from whom
Miss Abigail Eastman, the mother of Daniel
and Ezekiel Webster, and all the Eastmaus of
Salisbury had their origin. 1t was very common
in the early settlement Of Salisbury and Ames-
bury for the inhabitants to marry Indian girls.
The characteristics are very visible to this day
among their descendants" We supply this
omission to keep history good. 1t is in favor of
miScegenaton more than any other fact within
our knowledge. DIR. Nye will be remembered
by some Of the elder people, and nobody will
doubt his authority, which, possibly, even now,
would be capable of proof from the old records,
Ii will account for the complexion of "Blacll
