Now, let US take the record Of another
Minister-Mr. Carl sChurz, the great re-
former. Schurz was appointed Minister to
Spain March ~, 1851. He was at hls post
from July IL tn December II, 1851, a period
of FIVE months and six days HowRs granted
three months leave Of abseuco from Deceni-
Der II, 1851, to March IS, 1852, and rendered
his resignation June 10, 1862, TO take effect
April Is, 1862 Between April 20, 1851, and
March 81, 1862, Mr.. Schurz drew the sum Of
SI9,O6I6S. On February 5, 1859, he drew
from New York, on Barring Bros, London,
for cGl0.l6 s sterling, equal to 5000 gold,
which was not accepted and he drew again
for the same amount March 81, 1869, which
was duly honorod. OF this entire amount
Senator Carl schurz has only accounted for
I'll, 2gLS6, leaving an unaccounted balance
standing against him OF S7T2.S9. In other
words, aud To call things by their right
names, SchurE IL to-day deITiltcr 10 he

TIE HEANING OF M. gHEELEY's ELECTION.
The New York World, n an article con.
demnatOry of the stralgh:out Democratic
convention, takes occasion 10 inform IL
, readers that Mr.. Grcoley's election will be q
/ virtual Democratic triumph. The article In
question was evidently written by Mr.. Cham.
