The Deficit in the Treasury.

Washington, Aug. IA good deal 4
of annoyance has been expressed IN the i
Treasury Department at the recent \
publication in the Sun of the secre- u
tary's secret circular to assistant trea- 4
urers relative to the spurious coin re-
presenting the five dollar gold piece Of /
1872: and Gen. Spinner has expressed 4
his dissatisfaction.
The gallant General is, however,;
more reticent respecting the discovery
of Treasury amounting to about ten
million dollars. Such deficit has ]
been found to exist, but perhaps the
intelligence has not yet reached Gen..
Spinner's Office. The subject is one
which will have to be investigated by
Congress.
It ia beforehand the belief is
founded on fact-that if the present ms
cumbents here should suppose change
of Administration possible they, would
not hesitate to destroy such documen-x
tary evidence-the practice in the Navy
Department is to burn-as would ex7sI
nose their individual and partisan cor-ss
ruption, or, as their apolosists would 4
saw, their official irregularities.
The Treasury Department has been
made to pay interest upon bonds when
neither the bond itself nor the coupon3
has ever been in the possession OF the
r parties to whom the payment has been
made. Evidence of this fact is now be-.
fore the United States courts: but no.
3 proceedings have been commenced
against prominent bankers and brokers
! who are guilty of the same fraud, and
!, who have improperly obtained from the
! Government thousands of dollars by
the same illegal practice. In fact, we
8 may say that at the Treasury Depart
y ment this fraud has not yet been found
q out. on the part of these large men,
l. though some of the little fellows have
q been neutrality-suspicious. Of the

pides. By the time this issue OF
the Democrat reaches the most OF
our patrons, the catapillars will
have made perfect and clean

THE FAIR.

We commenced the distribution,
on Saturday last, Of the printed pro-
gramme of the Rapides Fair Assocla-
ton, which gives its first exhibition
on the 18th of October next we
call attention to it's extent and varle-
tv, for which the managers are entl-
tied to much credit.
Every county and almost every
hamlet at the North and West has
an Association of this kind, and the
benefits to the agricultural, mechan-
ical and economical interests OF the
community resulting from them have
been proved to be incalculable.-
They are rare in the South, and the
fact is much to be lamented. Our
people, amid their many troubles
have of late spent too much time, we
fear, in repining, instead Of casting
about to see if there are not other re-
sources of our State to be developed.
At Fairs of this kind all the products
of the State are presented at one
view, and the comparative adaptlbll-
ity of the soil and climate to each
easily demonstrated.
We anticipate rich treat at this
the first exhibition of the Raplde'
Association. The experiment is II
the hands of men of known energ..
and cannot fail to be a complete sue
cess. The agriculturist, mechanic
the stock. raiser and the sportsman
will all have a showing. The fai
sex has not been overlooked. !
: brilliant programme in the variou
! departments of housewifery is pre-
sented for the competition of our Ia
DIV friends. Let every daughter {
the parish endeavor to show wh'
Louisiana women can do. Nor hav
! the managers overlooked the depar
! ment of Fun. A grand Tourname1
U and Ball will close the three day
entertainment. Let every body be G

that official misconduct, and fraud and
corruption in elections shall be tnlly

Resolvcg, That, we condemn, with
ont reserve, the late act OF Congress
granting additional salaries as unjusti-s
fable. and it's immediate and uncondi-5

member of Congress, whether Republic

cured thereby; and we especially de-
nounce the conduct of President Grant

dent in setting up by bayonets Gov
eminent in Louisiana not chosen by

ever to rule over them, was a fragrant
violation of her rights and OF the fede-
raj constitution.
Resolved, That every department Of
the Government being in tile hands Of
the Republican party, they are justly
RESPONSIBLE for evils and wrongs in the
legislation and administration OF which
the country complains.
Resolved, That under the tlme.i'on,

claration of principles inscribed upol
its folds, we engage in the conflict, ant
we earnestly appeal to patriotic mel
of every class, without regard 10 part,

That Colored Committee

|
The colored committee, which
went North on free tickets pur-
chased by assessments on victim
lied Office holders, does not seem TO
hoe such wide row after all. At
every place they have yet offered
to give an exhibition they succeed
ed in sinking out the audience IN
an incredibly short time. 1t. they
had failed to collect the means from
the "truly loil" we think it would
nav for the Fusionists to foot all
their bills and keep them North
until December. We think they
would "disabuse'' with a ven
geance. They happen to pay their
visit just at a time when the North
is beginning to come to the conclu-
sion that the South has had just a
little too big dose Of niger al
ready. And this feeling has had
a reactionary effect at home. The
N. Y. niger convention has dis
banded finally, for the reason that
the "man and brother' has no
showing in that State. The ne
groes all through the North are
complaining that discrimination is
made against them in the work on
all the public highways. Fred
Douglass could not be elected con-

Leesville Academy.

We cannot too highly commend the
efforts of our friends in the new par
ish of Vernon to establish in their
midst first class educational insti-
tuition. No sooner had the parish
been formed than they erected a large
and commodious frame school house,
which would do credit to any COM
munity in the State. They next sue
ceeded in procuring a first class teach
er in the person Of Mr.. VIM. Ryan,
a graduate of leading college IN
the West, and late a professor in Pass
Christian College. The Academy
has prospered the past year under
his management, and it is now pro-
posed to increase the sphere OF its
usefulness. Ample facilities are al
forded at Leesville for obtaining
good board in respectable families
at rates less than one half of those
which obtain in other schools OF the
same grade. It is in q healthful
pine woods locality, far removed
from those temptations which bese'
the pathway of youth. Dissipatior
and extravaganza are impossible
A female department is attached, un
der competent female assistants, bu
the two sexes ore kept entirely sepa
rate. We know of no school we cal
more highly recommend.
