Patriot says:
No day passes without bringing to
light some new defalcation. As the days
Of the Administration diminish, the
thieves who support Grant and denounce
any form of opposition seem to multiply.
They are NIL of the loyal stripe, and,
what is quite remarkable, whenever an
ofiice-holder steals widows pensions or
robs the till of the Treasury, the tele-
graph or the pensioned press is quick to
at best, it is only slight irregularity,
and the robbery is usually estimated at
about one-tenth of the actual amount!
Only few weeks ago, Collins defaulted
in Washington, aud the missing money
was stated at $4,000. It has already
reached $4,000, and is still growing
When the United States Treasnrer's
office was plundered, owing to loose

contributed their quota. The recent
average Of stealing has been about
sou, 600 day, among respectable" and
unpretending rogues. just before the
adjournment Of the House, on March
25, Mr.. Hooper, from the Committee of
Banking and Currency, reported II reso-
luton, recommending change in the
Office of Oo,nptroler of the Currency,
now held by H. E. Hulburd, of Now
York, one of the pillars Of the Admins
tration.
This mild recommendation by no
means reveals the fucts of the case, US
will be seen when tho testimony comes
to be printed. This officer had the su-
pervision of 1,700 national banks, and,
in fact, stands as the guardian of the
peoples interest against fraud or specu-
lation. It is established that Hulburd
systematically protected rotten banks for
money, and this practice has been going
on with the knowledge Of the Admins
tration for years back. When Hulburd
was re-appointed, u few months ago, to
this great trust, which he had so notori-
ously abused, the strongest protests
were made to the President, without
producing any more effect than those
which the merchants Of New York urged
against the swindling practices of Leet
j Stocking. He was re-nominated and
confirmed by the Senate, though the
corruption of that officer was not un-
known to many upon the Radical side.
And now, when the crimes have become
so numerous aud glaring that conceal
ment is no longer possible, even Radi-
cal committee of Congress is obliged to
demand the dismissal of this man, who
has been sustained in Office against the
most overwhelming evidence of guilt
Whether the President will respond to
this expression of the House by prompt
removal. or shelter him as has been done
in the New York Custom House, by
shameful evasion, remains to be seen.

DRowSED. are informed that Mr..
l.. ID. Avant, resident of the Britton's
Neck section, was drowned in Pee Dee
River, near Pine Bluff, on the 10th ult.
MIR. Avant went over tho river TO his
daughters residence, and was returning
when this sad accident occurred. His
wife was unconscious of her loss until
Mr.. i. II. Britton came to this side of
the river, IL few days since. and told her
Mr.. Avant had left his daughters house.
Search being made, the boat used by
Mr.. Avant was found bottom upward,
and hence there is no doubt entertained
rs to his death.
Just one week previous Mr.. Samuel
Grier was found drowned, at no great
distance from the place where, in oil
probability, Mr.. Avant afterwards found
IA watery grave. Both of these deaths
resulted from intemperance, the un-
fortunate men having been under the in

reception lately given by the Japanese
embassy in Washington. if the following
from the New York Tribune be true.
The Tribune says:
"Who the mob were who were invited
it is difficult to say; they certainly bore
the names Of the leaders Of Washington
society; yet, before half Of the guests
had been presented to their stately en-
tcrtainefs, these so-called ladies and gen.
tlcmen rushed into the supper room,
and not only grecdily began to devour
Ill before them, as though half starving,
but tore down the floral and other deco
rations, until, when their hosts arrived,
the scene was one Of general havoc, AS
though tho swine Of Ciroe had been let
loose in the hall.
"With every fresh embassy from TO-
reign country, it would seem that our
fashionable society devised some new
vulgarity rs a specimen Of national
manners, with which we might be morti-
icd by the report abroad. When Alexis

toward him in every public place with

Of the New York Tribune asserts that
the South Curolina delegation to the
Philadelphia Convention is not instruct

such q barefaced manner that their re-
moval has been asked for by the almo st
unanimous voice of the Republican
party, as expressed through committees
and conventions. Gon. Grant has given
no attention to the repeated requests for
the removal of these officers.
The Republicans of South Carolina
who arc opposed to Federal interference

Rome is vastly agitatcd over the dis
covcry of the body of lady, which the
Tiber yielded up near the Popte Mollo,
one evening early in the present month.
The victim was young and richly at
tired. The discovery wns made by fish
vender, who straightway gave nn alarm
and summoned the proper authorities
and the palefaced citizens to the spot.
In the bosom OF the unfortunate ludy
was plunged dagger with diamond
studded hilt. and faint stream of blood
was disoerniblo on the silk dress. Pro-
fuse black curls hung dishevelled over
the shoulders and face, and on a plain
white collar pinned to the dress below
tho dagger wound was written in blood
the terrible word, "Vendetta." A short
examination was sufficient to establish
the lady's identity, and it was then dis
covered that she was tho Princess Cata-
rina di Chigi. ono OF the most beautiful
and brilliant of the Italian bellies. She
had been absent from her parents pa
lace for some days previously, but pride
had forbidden publication of the fact.
The cause Of tho tragedy is supposed to
be explained by the fact that she was
betrothed to Prince Erberto Giuglo. who
loved her madiy; but at last her feelings
underwent q religious change, and she
determined TO enter convent and tako
the veil. This determination aroused
the Prince to such pitch of frenzy, that
it is considered almost certain that lie
murdered the one he could not marry.

Additional advices from lingo County
place the number killed by the earth
quake at twenty; wounded, 100. In
Desert County, stretching from Owens
Lake to the Mexican line, are the craters
of innumerable volcanoes not long ex-
tinct, and several mud volcanoes active.
1t is supposed that some of these old
volcanoes may be eruptivo sgain. a
gentleman from Independence asserts
that somke and ashes from volcanoes are
distinctly seen Southwards from that
place, and word has boen brought there
that lava has been flowing down the
mountain. This is not authenticated.
The shocks continued decreasing in force
up to Thursday morning, when over
1000 had been counted. at Tibbett's
raDche, fifteen miles above Independ,
ence, forty acres of ground sunk seven
feet below the surface of the surround
ing country. Big Owens Lake has
risen four feet SINCE the first shock.
Owens River ran over its banks, deposit
ing shoals of fish on shore after it re-
ceded, for q distance OF three or four
miles. Through Lone Pine the earth
crackud, and one side remained station
airy, while tho other sank seven or eight
feet, leaving wall of earth extending
three miles in length, where formerly
was u level plain. Innumerable cracks
were made throughout tho valley. Kern
and Owens Rivers turned and ran up
stream for several minutes, leaving their
beds dry, and finally returned with
largely increased volume. No parallel
to this earthquake has occurred since
1912, when tho missions of San Juan,
Capestians and SApcressima, in South
ern California, were destroyed. OF
course it is n matter of common CONVEX
sation in California, but has created not
the slightest apprehension outside the
district affected.
