account with the government, amounting "
= Sl7 900. Mr. Crane claims thas this deiai-
cation occurred while Edward A. Jewett,
now of Chicago, was chief clerk IN the Oh
fee, and by inference that Mr. Jewett was
an embezz!er of the money. 70 this charge
Mr.. Jewett gives Hat denial, and intlmates
a purpose of at once coming to Vermont and
insisting upon rigid examination OF the
books and himself. We learn that during
the week the internal revenue officers have
been examining the books Of collector Crane,
and that they have satisfied themselves that
they contain many false entries and inaceur-
les, during the period Mr.. Jewett was clerk.
They are not yet prepared to make public
their belief as to vino embozzed the mon
ey, but will do so in few days. In justice
to all parties, we refrain from giving further
particulars at this time, or TO express any
| opinion in the case until further develop
ments are permitted to be made public.
American bread5tuffs are going abroad
lively, in spite of the difficulties in negotiating
exchange. The produce exports from New
York, last week, reached the satisfactory to-
sal of about 81 $50 600 That this liberal
outB)g ofour produce will continue, nay be
emf iently predicted, and the fact thlt
freight splce in European steamers has been
secured considerably In advance, is positive
proof of the activity Of the expors dsmlnd.
There IS m)aey enough in europe to pay for
all of our availlbie surplus Of grain, cotton
and t)blcc), and a god deal oft seems like
ly to fni its way to our shores, this winter.

Edmunds is understood not to be much in
favor Of his confirmation. j. H. Bristow
will not be confirmed as Attorney General
until Mr.. Williams case is decided.
If the Judiciary Committee Of which Soma
tor Edmunds is chairman should be against
Williams conformation it is likely the nom
ination will be withdrawn
