BOutweII's bookkeeping.
Secretary Boutwell, appeared before the
HOuse Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department, and testified as to the
amounts received into the treasury for the
fiscal year ending 30th June, 1871, for sales
OF arms and ordnance stores. He gave the
amount at S6,280,0 0,092-the difference be-
tween that sum and the amount returned
70 the Chief of Ordnance as baving been
! received from those sales, $9,36O.O63, he
accounted for by explaining that the bal
ance was not carried into the treasury
during the last fiscal year, but was paid in
since then, even in excess of the sum re-
turned, but it would be necessary to analy-
size the various accounts carefully, to trace
up the figures, and to separate the sums
paid ia on account of sales in the last fiscal
year from those paid in on account of sub
sequent sales.

1t was recently stated that a number Of
cases preferred By the Department of JUS
tice against several members Of Congress
and government officials for receiving mon

CINCINNATI.
Terrible COnnagratiOn on the Levee.
Seven Steamboats, Totally Consumed.
The AleOna, Kate Robinson and Maj.
Anderson among them.

CINCINNATI, March 6.-Seven steamers
are on fire at the landing. The alarm rang
at half past II. Particulars soon.
CINCINNATI, March THE steamers
burned at the landing tonight were the
Abeona, Kate Robinson, st. Charles, ArgO.
sy, Maj. Anderson and Champion, and the
hull Of the Belle Vernon, sunken recently
by the ice.
The fire originated aft in the st. Charles,
which was the third boat from th@wharf-
boat, just above the Suspension Bridge.
How the fire originated isnot known. The
captain and some others on the st. Charles
jumped overheard and swan ashore. It is
feared that some on board failed to escape.
The fire spread up and down stream rapid
ly. The wharfboat next to which the Alec
ma was lying was about half consumed.
The Kate Robinson contained keg ofgun-
powder. A loud report as of an explosion
has just been heard in the direction of the
landing. The Kate Skiltingter, lying just
above the Champion, was towed away and
saved by the Newport ferry. All the fire
department was called out.
twenty-five bales of cotton and numer-
Gus crates of queensware on the landing,
with other freight, were consumed. The
loss is total, except perhaps in the case of
the steamer Champion, the hull Of which
may be saved.
The Latest.
The Argossy was owned by Capt. Shank
& Bro, of Vevay, Ind. The Major Ander-
son was owned by Capt. Muhlman, G. H.
Booth & Co., of Wheeling. The Aleona
was fell of freight from the Tennessee riv-
er, whence she had but recently arrived.
Her freight is estimated to have been
worth $4,000. The Kate Robinson
had on board IS tons Of groceries, etc.,
valued at S16,0O0-the boat at $4,000. The
st. Charles was valued at $4,000. The
furniture and freight of the Champion was
valued at $50 900, the boat S10,0O0-not
insured. These figures are OBJ
tanned from a more reliable source
than those already sent. The Major An
derson was valued as $4,000. The report
sent Of the freight on the Major Anderson is
probably entirely over estimated. She was
laying up on account oflow water.
Ann Watson, chambermaid of the Kate
Robinson, fell in the river.

Great Fire at FrankfOrt-A Child SuE-
fOcRted.
FRANKFORT March Cat II o'clock
last night a terrible fire broke out in the
store of Jacob Harris, on St. Clair street.
The flames spread rapidly on both sides and
the fire ragged furiOusly from eleven until
about four, when it was checked after COM
pletely destroying r. Runyan's dry goods
house, r. K. Mcclure Il Bros boot and shoe
house, Charles Vogler, stoves and tinware,
John E. Days large grocery store, and ia
cob Harris notion store. A little child of
Jacob Harris was lost in the burning house
and when found was in dying condition.
1t lived about fifteen minutes after being
rescued. Great excitement prevails. Cause
of the fire unknown. The fire would have
been checked without much damage but the
water gave out. Insurance companies lose
heavily, especially the Andes, of Cincinna-
ii. The loss will be from $4,000 to $685.
600.
LATER-The fire in Frankfort last night
in the house occupied by J. Harris is sup
posed to have been caused by the explosion
of gas. The child of Mr.. Harris was taken
by the clerk to the house of neighbor, but
the fire followed rapidly and the neighbor
escaped forgetting the child which was res
cued soon after but dead from sufocation.

1HE Washington Republican, probably
as hi' 1t 10 Grant, asserts that 'qhe late
Eu"n' NJ. Stanten was 50 provoked at
the course Of Greeley and the New York
4 Iiblgae at one time during the war, that
ne resolved to issue an order suspending its
publication and taking possession Of the
office. Mr.. Stanton actually made out the
order and took it to Mr.. Lincoln to sign,
but Mr.. Lincoln was in one of his amiabls
and forgiying moods, aud handed it back to
Mr.. Stanton, saying that be would give
Greeley another chance" Mr.. Lincoln
was smart enough to know that this act
would have been one more straw than the
camel could have borne That is the very
reason he did not "try it on" Perhaps
Grant would like to try a little experiment
lin this way. The Tribune would be a first
rate paper to commence with.

any date or memorandum authenticating

any account has been given which could so
have taken in the rebelliOus preacher to the
