The Times says that the amount Of the defal-
cation of James J. johnson, head of the stamp
division in the assistant treasurerS office in this
city, though not precisely aScertained, cannot
exceed SlS5,OOO, and may be considerably
less. 1t is not fully known how this fraud was
accomplished and concealed. but it is probable
that johnson made false reports of stamps
which were not examined into with promDti-
tude, so that the fraud became extensive before
any suspicion was awakened johnson was,
some years aTO, connect with the Argus news
paper at Albany. Detectives are now in search
of him. johnson is said to be man of great
responsibility and it is alleged that it probably
will be found that he fTittered away his money
in Wall street operations He was reported on
Tuesday to have left for Maine on vacation.
His contCderateS in the fraud have not yet been
ascertained.
1t is understood that the bonds required of AS
slstant Treasurer Hilhouse by the government
cover the amount Of delalcation by johnson,
and that the bOndsmen of HillhOuSe will be held
responSibelor the loss.

delegates from the seventh councillor district,
met in the town hall in Fitchburg, yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the office now held by Hon. E. B.
Stoddard of this city. Previous to the couyen-
ton the friends of the different candidates, of
whom there were five, were busily engaged in
canvassing for their, favorites.
The convention was called to order by Silas
Holman ofBolton, chairman of the district com
mttee. On motion of j. R. Torrey, Esq, of
Fitchburg, it was voted that temporary or
ganization be dispensed with, and A. B. Z.
Sprague of Worcester was unanimously chosen
president, with f. NJ. Thompson of Greenfield,
as secretary.
On motion of J. D. Daniels of Worcester a
committee on credentials was appointed, and
reported sixty seven towns and eight wards
represented by 176 delegates. To this number
the district committee was added making 1873
delegates.
One representative from each senatorial dis
trict was appointed upon the district committee
for the ensuing year, as follows, upon motion of
Geo. +. Thompson of Worcester: LIST. Daniel D.
Wiley of Worcester; 3D., E. H. Rowland of Ok
ford; 4th, VIM. Whitney of Winchendon; 5th,
FL. A. Blood of Fitchburg; Franklin district,
Chester L, Conant of Greenfield
While the different committees were absent,
f. P. GouldiDg, Esq, of Worcester, was called
upon the platform, and addressed the conven-
ton upon the saying that the democratic party
has been converted He considered that if such
was the case they would vote FOR Grant, as those
in Maine did for Perham.
The motion to proceed to an informal ballot
was here made. Mr.. Merriam of Greenfield
moved that the list of the towns be called in
alphabetical order, and that the delegates cast
their ballots as fast as the names of the towns
which they represented were announced This
motion was finally withdrawn without being
put to the convention, as it met with so much
opposition. The supporters of the different
candidates here presented their names and the
claims of the different sections of the district 10
the office.
After considerable discussion, Mr.. Torrey of
Fitchburg arose and severely criticised the ac-
ton Of the delegates, as he did not consider the
office as a loaf of bread, to be thrown around
among the different localities from year to year.
The informal ballot was taken with the fol-
lowing result:
