the Funding Act which Memorandum" is kept
'in a well bound book'' in this office IThe Fund
ing Act does not allow any interest upon past due
Bonds or Coupons since their maturity.
Arrangements have been made with the Gen
eral Superintendent of the Adams Express Com

can be forwarded to Nashville from the leading
cities of the East and the new series of bonds re-
turnedf upon liberal terms to those desiring to
fund. Bonds and coupons forwarded to Nash

REynsuE FRAUDS In NEW YORK.


The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial states that the Sec
Rotary, Assistant Secretary, and the Solicitor
of the Treasury, and the General Special
Agent, who is stationed at New York City,
had a protracted consultation at The Depart
ment on the 9th inst, relative to compro-
misses made by the Agent in the cases of a
number of New York merchants, whose
importations Of silk laces were seized for
violations of the customs laws. The Spe-
cial Agents action in the premises was In
dorsed, although for the present the names
Of the parties are withheld. On the other
hand, the Department declines to agree to
compromises In the matter Of large quanti-
ties of Geneva watches, which were recent
ly seized for under valuation, and like
frauds upon the customs revenue. The
belief obtains that there are quite number
of the latter class of law breakers whom it
intended to ferret out if possible, and in
fiict on them the severest penalties provided
for such cases.

A CURIOUS CASE.

The telegraph mentioned the other day
that the jury in the case of ex-Chief of Po-
lice McWilliams, of Jersey City, charged
with conspiracy with three we'll known
burglars to rob tie First National Bank,
had rendered verdict of "not guilty." The
New York Tribune says: "This was Gu
rious and interesting case. The defendant
was accused of being in conspiracy with
certain burglars, who had been tried and
convicted of the crime in which McWilliams
was alleged to be more or less implicated.
The witnesses chiefly relied upon by the
were these convicts, who were
brought from the Penitentiary to testify.
The Judge, in his charge to the jury, re-
marked that the defendant might be con-
victed upon their unsupported evidence;
but custom required its confederation. 1t
is evident that the jury did not consider
that evidence sustained by the other wit
nesses, as that of the conv;css was dir ct
and positive"

WHAT Loan no GARRY.

The officials of North Caorlina say that
the interest on the State debt, including
that on special tax bonds, will on the first
of October next (the close of the fiscal Year,
amount to the enormous sum of S., 038, 904.
Over eight million dollars due for interest
alone under Grants economical system of
managing things! Of course no Radical is
to blame for such debts as Cypress North
and South Carolina, Florida and other SIRE
constructed States" All should bless Grant
for the manifold benefits of his very patri
otto "bond rings" which have saved them
from worse fate.

THE BAR OF CONSCIENCE,

A farmer writing to the Western RurGI
on the "causes of Decentralization" says:
"There is bar of conscience, and we no.
tice that 1t has not become entirely extinct,
for even Congressman have repented in
shame of an evil deed, and seRt back to the
Government what their constituents indig-
nantly pronounced ''steal." Gen. Grant
has fully established bis claims to over-edu-
Gated acquisitiveness, and the monomania
made his pen seal his political destiny, as
the $4,000 opportunity dazzled his dazed
BRAIN"
This is the first time that we have seen
'Grant's over-educated acquisitiVeness"
called ''monomania," but it may be fairly
urged in extenuation of bis breach of trust.
But his insanity disquslifiss him equally to
deal with the affairs of louisa; a, the Dis
trict of Columbia, and of the nation at
large. In word, if the public sense of
right and wrong regards the salary grab of
Congress stealing, the plea of insanity with
much method in his madness, is the best
that can be done for poor Grant by his best
friends. Not another man in the Admins
tIation is SO sick and helpless as its head.

MICHAEL CRoNAN, a shoemaker, who
has been prominent C,ispin, and there
fore engaged in the recent strike in Msssa-
chusetts, publishes letter, and sensible
one, in The Milford (Msss.) journal. He
says: 81 believe the laboriOg man should
strive to elevate himself; but be must do it
in this free country by industry, sobriety,
and the intelligence which al may acquire.
Artificial methods and combinations may
promise well in the beginning, but are al
ways certain to end il miserable failure"
This is true, says the New York Tribune,
of combinations of Labor against Capital,
and unfortunately not true of combinations
Of Capital against Labor, because Capital
can wait and Labor cannot. Cooperative
association has all the advantages of trade
unions, with none of their evils.

THE Washington correspondent of The
New York Tribune writes, July 26: "The
result of careful inquiry is that President
Grant has not yet decided upon the selec-
ton OF a Chief Justice. While newspaper
notices in favor of certain gentlemen have
been carefully brought to bis attention, no
political friends have ventured upon direct
recommendations. The President will
make his own seecticn independent of
newspaper or personal suggestions. 1t is
said he has recently reported that he is in
no hurry to do so, there being no present
public necessity for such sction. He will
not make the appointment until it can be
acted on by the Senate, and in the mean
time he will endeavor to select a Chief
Justice who will be acceptable to the en-
tire Country"

The Baltimore Sun says: "The New
York Times says that Frank Walworth, who
remains sort of hero in Sing Sing, is al
lowed to work where visitors cannot see
him, so that his feelings cannot be hurt.
Probably the reason that the same privilege
is not extended to convicts without money
or influence is that they have no feelings.
Such at least seems to be the theory upon
which they are treated. Young Mr.. Wal
worth did not seem particular about hurt
ing the feelings of his father, and seems to
be good deal more sensitive sbous being
seen expiating his crime than committing it.
No distinction ought to be made in the pun
ishment ofscriminsls on account of differ
ence of social position. If the disgrace is
felt more keeDly by the educated than the
ignorant, their crime is more aggravated
from their better culture and surround
ings."

THE Rev. c. II. Newbold, vicar of ALI

animation at Liverpool charged with drunk

case. He had subjected himself to some
criticism, and in reply said such things as:
"They do all they can to persecute US High
Church minister's" and then Swapping his
fingers be ad ded, "They may go to hell.'
He seems to be liberal minded sort ofa

SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN, of Ohio, who
recently published letter saying that bis
purpose was to leave his back pay untouched
and have nothing to do with it, has recon-
sidered the matter, drawn the amount due
him and covered it into the Treasury. There
was suspicion that his purpose in leaving
his back pay untouched, was that he might
draw and use it after the storm blew over,
but the Indignation at such conduct became
too hot for him to hold out longer. He
has not the brass to enable him to brave
public opinion like Grant.

1T was unGe;stO that the nomination

thai in the event the Republicans carried

ted States Senator to succeed Senator
Thurman. But this arrangement does not
appear to give satisfs ction, now that Noyss
has been nominated. The Governor has
written letter in which be urges that the
question as TO who shall be the next United

be no element of the compaign, and adds
that no man has been asked to use his in
fuence for him for that position, and that
no one will be. On the other hand, Mr..
