NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-THE inves-
tigation Of the postofice defalcation is
progressing vigorously. Mr.. Lowells Off
cial books are not to be found, having
been removed from the Office. Search
warrants have been issued by Commits
sioner Weller, and writs of arrest against
Charles W. Lowell, Thomas f. Monroe,
assistant postmaster, and John V. Doug.
lass, cashier. The latter documents will
not probably be used if the books are
produced. 1t is a fact not generally
known that the ease has been worked up
thus far without the assistance of Mr..
Lowells books-the stamps, records,
quarterly returns, accounts and cash
books, which are United States property,
but which cannot be found in the Office.
Messrs. Hays and Seelye have only had
for data the returns made by Mr.. Lowell
to the Postoffice Department at Wash
ington, and with this meagre informa'
ton their progress has necessarily been
slow and Iaborious. The deficits are es-
timated to day at eighty thousand dol.
lars and over. There may be some
credits in Mr.. Lowel's favor, and Messrs.
Hays and Seelye have sent to Washing
ton for abstracts Of last years returns,
which will show how the matter stands.
When they arrive the balance can be
struck and the total amount Of the de-
falcation be arrived at, unless, indeed,
Mr.. LowelIs books should reveal further
defcienciea

held private caucus last night and re-
solved on their action for to-day. Whit

more calmly and thoroughly consider

any other citizen that ever tried 10 sing

every one else fled from the place in
dire confusion. George was fiued u

it's exposure. This winter the snow
protected it we'll. 1t has been, 80 lar,
subjected to no sudden thaws to lit it
out of the ground. The melting SHOWS
will give it freshness and vigor, snd,
unless it is damaged by insects, storms
or otherwise, we may look for a good
wheat crop next season. Frosty nights,
followed by days Of tbaw, will have a
most Injurious effect upon the young
crops. At this time last year the ground
was frozen to a depth OF eighteen inches,
there being no covering, aud hence the
late and scaRty yield.
