for tho capture Of Gen. Harper, the tlofaulting
Collector Of Internal Revenue in tho Springfield
district Tie newspapers Of the State have it,
du}ged In various suggestions as to tho cause OF
the defalcation, the amount OF which iB yari-
ously eatimated at from 100000 to 100000.
by Some 1t is attributed to speculation in grain
In Chicago, by others to the salo Of distillcrs'
stamps On credit, and to d general system Of
Indulgence to tax-payorH. Others, again, deny
nI these suggostionH. We suggest, as a
means Of throwing somo Light on this aub-
iect, TINT Gen, Harper contributed very hoay-
lily to tho expenses Of the Last Presidential
election in this State, and 1t is possible that ho
may have made expenditures for the Cause
Which he expected tho party to make
good to him, and which tho party has
failed to do. Once in arrear. the temptation to
try to make good tho deficiency BY extra official
operations is ono that ia not generally roBieted
In such cases. It is not likely that this largo
aum was Lost at one time; tho use Of tho public
money must have begun at Home time, and, dur
Ing the oxcftemonts Of political campaign,
man Of Gen. Harper's liberal and confding dis
position would be more likely to fall into the
practice than at any other. It Is possible, judg-
ing from previous defaloationB, that portion OF
tho money WAS loaned to politicians, who have
failed to return it. den. Harper WAS man of
good personal habits, and thore is no probability
that he has a cont Of the money in his possea-
