DEATH OF VENERABLE CIrIzEN.-In the
death of Mr.. John Harris, which took place at
his residence, in this city, on Saturday last, our
city looses one Of its oldest and best citizens
Mr. Harris had attained the great age Of ninety
six years. He was well known 10 nearly all of
of our most active business men, and one of the
most responsible shipbuilders in the country
His life was one OF careful, prudent management
in business affairs, and 40 far as we know he was
the only man who retired from that branch of our
industries on fortune, the results of his lalors in
his trade. No tradesman was more highly deserV-
ing of success and none were moro highly re-
spected. After business life of more than filNy
years he retired about fifteen years ago without a
stain upon his character or an enemy in the
world. His life since has been that of one de-
clining silently to the narrow house prepared for
all, after having discharged every duty which flls
To the lot of the pure, faithful and unassuming
who have endeavoTed to avoid all evil.

The GOVERNMENT FINANCES. - The
statement Of the receipts and expen-
ditures of the government for the last
fiscal year, which ended June 3oth,
1878, shows that the income amounted
to $685., 738,204, and the expenditures
to 100000, 245. This gives sur
plus for the year, Of nearly forty three
and one-half millions, which was mainly
devoted to the redemption of the pub
he debt. The receipts are made up of
1873 millions from customs, 1892
millions from internal revenue, nearly
three millions from public land sales,
and twenty-nine millions from lniscela-
neous sources. The expenditures were
nearly 731 millions for the civil and
miscellaneous lists; 464 millions for the
army; 235 millions for the navy; 374
millions for the Indians and pensions; a
little over five millions for premiums on
bonds purchased; and lo4S millions for
interest on the public debt. Compared
with the government statement two
years ago, the income has fallen off
nearly fifty millions, on account of re.
duced taxation, whilst the expenditures
have been decreased about two millions.
The three years reduction of the debt,
with the fnnGing process, have decreas-
ed the annual interest share since 1871
by nearly twenty-one millions.

Riot in Fauquier CO., Va.

WARRENToN, FAuouIER Co, VA,
Aug. 2e.-On Saturday last there was
considerable riot at Rectortown, in
this county, on the line of the Manassas
Gap Railroad, which caused a great
deal of excitement A party OF seven
colored men came into the village,
which has some fifteen dwellings and
two stores, seeking a fight with some
colored men Of the town. They went
to the store of Mr.. Luke A. Woodwar
and behaved so boisterously that the
proprietor ordered them off.
The colored men cursed him and
refused to go. He seized an ak helve
and made an attack which was resisted,
but finally they were driven from the
premises. IN the road they behaved
so threateningly, alarming the women
and children, that the white men an d
others of the village few to arms and
two OF the disorderly gang were shot
in the leg with buckshot, and finally
driven away. They were very much
exasperated at their defeat ard made
all sorts ofthreats.
Mr.. Lewis Marsteller, one ofthe resi-
dence Of Rectortown, who was going
to dwelling to protect the women
and children, was caught by the rioters
and had his skull featured by slune
shot, it is stated, and has since been
in a very critical condition, His wound
was very severe. The blacks shot
were not much injured, and they all
got away from the scene Of the dis
turbance. Two of the ringleaders
have since been arrested, it is learned,
and all will be caught in time, it is
thought, though one OF two OF them re-
side neighboring counties.

CHICAGO, August 28.-A report from
Waso, Texas, of an attack by Indians
on Fort Sill, and the massacre Of
women and children and part OF the
Fourth cavalry, is undoubtedly an error.
No report of such an attack has been
received at Sheridan's headquarters
here, which would certainly have been
the case if one hand been made.
Furthermore, the Fourth cavalry is at
Fort Clarke on the Rio Grande, not
within 500 miles OF Fort Sill.

Mally. The housekeeper's son got
them to do the murder at the sugges

basement door was left open. Irving
and his companion remained in the
dark for some time, when man came
down, who said, II have finished the
old man." They then went up stairs.
Irving says he has in his house in New
York some stocks and memorandum
book partly written in Hebrew, which
he took from the old man. 1--WE only
got between $4,000 and $e,OQO," Irv-
ing gives graphic details of the affair.
A committee of surgeons have ex-
amined Irving, but could not deter

| THE STORY DIscREDIrED IN NEW YORK.
New YoRK, August 29.-It has
been assertained that John T. Irving,
who has been arrested in San Francis
co, on his own confession as an accom-
Pice in the murder Of Benjamin Nathan,
is well known New York thief and
burglar His story is probably false
and invented as a means Of procuring
a free return home.
The New York police believe Irv-
ing was in the States prison in July,
1871, the time that Nathan was MUIR
dered.
+ All advices indicate Irving to be a
fraud. Judge Cardozo, who took an &C
tive part in endeavoring to find the
murderers of Nathan, says there is no
doubt that the murderer is Forests,
who is now in prison, and that, in time;
he will be able to prove him guilty Of
that atrocity. Judge Cardozon says
