How a secret service Spy can Double
His salary.

New YORK, Dec. 30.-A dispatch from
Boston says: a couple Of years ago three of
the leading importing houses in New York
discovered that Jordan, Marsh u Co. were
selling certain class Of goods at Is per
cent. lower than they could possibly be
purchased in Europe and imported into
this country. This fact was reportedto the
proper officers, and a close watch was kept
upon their operations at this port. About
the time the firm was suspected, it took
into its employ young man named f. q.
Jackson. who was Immediately installed as
the custom-h0use clerk of all the establish
ment, and the books of the foreign impOrta-
ton department were placed entirely under
his control. jackson admits, according to
the dispatch, that, during the two years he
has been employed by the firm, he has at
the same time drawn handsome salary as
a secret service officer of the Treasury De-
partment. In seven cases Jackson asserts
there is indisputable evidence of the guilt
of the firm, and the fines imposed upon
conviction will not be less than S1,50O,OOO,
and it is possible this amount may be in
creased in consequence of developments
from the investigation now in progress.

JOuVeIIar Threatens 10 Resign.
HAVANA, Dec. 30.-The home govern
ment has relieved Gen. BurTiel of the COM
mand of the eastern department, because,
in a proclamation issued last week, he at
tackled the existing administration OF Spain.
He has been ordered to appear at Madrid to
answer charges preferred against him in re-
lation to this matter.
Capt. Gen. Jouvellar insists that the gov
ernment shall accept his resignation unless
he is granted in full the extraordinary
powers enjoyed by his predecessors. The
government has conceded increasedpOwers,
but they are restricted by certain condi-
tiOns. The VOSe de Cuba says the only
reason Jouvelfar has not taken effective
measures for the tranquilization of the
island was because he could not legally do
so. The TOsc and the DidriO declare that
the conservatives favor the grant of eXtraor-
dinary powers, as the only way to save
Cuba to SDain is to declare martial law,
levy forced contributions, and call out the
militia TO suppress the rebellion.

Not True.

Under the old Law, the person sold out could, il

bought in, designate papers which would conceal
the fact from the public that the sale was to be
made.-EVeyy Erening.
The above Contains q deLberate mistatement
No such thing was ever done nor could it have
bSsn done The law applied to real estate, and
personal property was not required to be adver-
tiSsd in the newspapers. And the Sherifs and ell
the Attorneys we're convsrsant with ths OLD law
The law required the Sheriff to 60 to the defend
ant and request him to designate one paper, and
the Sheriff designated the other paper the law
requiring the advertisement to appear in two pa.
PeTs for the space of two weeks, and the Court
has made it q rule TO set sales aside where it was
proven that the publication had not been properly
made for the full time in hand-bills aud newspa-
pers. The remarks Of the Ecery Erening is
Slander, which that paper makes against officers
debtor and creditors in a manner reckless as it
is discreditable. 1t was impossible for such an
arrangement, as the Brsyy Brening refers 10, to
have been made.
1t il very true that property was not advertised
es fully as it should have been but it does not
follow that the officers were dishonest or that the
Courts permitted creditors to be defrau6ed in the
manner designated by our neighbor.

il the last of the failures consequent upon the sus-
pension, has been announced. 81 far, we have
heard Of none that havo not been already stated.
The cause OF the failure OF MessFs, Jay Cooke X
Co. is said to be in their inability to sell the bonds
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Mr.. Cooke is
the financial agent of that road and controlled all
its finaneet and il is said he has advanced moneyto
the road to pay the current expences OF building,
and used all within his reach, and perhaps en-
crOAched too largely on the immense line OF de-
pOSitOrs for which his banking house was known
to be favorite, and the too sudden Withdrawal Of
the latter produces the calSu 'ty.
In some strong banking circles, We are told this
failure has been anticipated for some time; and
the mere mention of this may have occasioned the
withdrawal OF deposits. But after all, the main
cause Is found in the inability Of thu firm TO COM
