New Orleans Picsyune, Dec. /.
Some time in June last, Mr.. c. B.
Oliver, the head bOok-keeper for MeSsrs.
Prodft & Day, Of Memphis, was COM
PEELED by sickness TO obtain leave of
absence for three months, and while he
was gone another gentleman, well known
and highly connected in Memphis, was en-
ployed in bis place. On the last of Sep
TENDER MIR. Oliver returned, and, the other
gentleman having balanced the books,
turned them over to his successor, who
went TO work.
A few days ago, however, be found a
deficit Of $500, which it was apparent
the salernumeEary book keeper had
embezzled. In the meantime this party
had come TO New Orleans, where he had
obtained place with Messrs. Pritchard
& Bickham as book-keeper, and which he
had held for at least month when the dis
coYery Of the loss was made. A requisition
was obtained and the book-keeper arrested
by Detective Pearson and promptly CON
veyed back to Memphis, where be arrived
few days ago. ! .-.a--
After being arrested he made a confess
sion of the facts. He was a confirmed
gambler, and had been so for some fif-
teen years, and had at times won money
but had In the main lost, bis debts being
pretty heavy. Indeed, he had a difficult
ty with a former employer and left on
that account. Shortly after obtaining the
situation with Messrs. Prodfit & Day be
Eambled away $3.50 above his salary, but
believing he could make it good, put in a
check for that amount.
Endeavoring to make the amounts
good he in time lost $500, aud his time
of employment being up he had no
other course but to make false entries
and thus close the books, which he did,
hoping no discovery would be made
until he could pay the amount back. Fear
ing detection, however, he came to this city,
where, as described, he was arrested and
returned to Memphis.

Gov. Kemper Advocates q State Cur.
rency.
RICHMOND, VA, Dec. THE General
Assembly iiiet to-day and Gov. Kemper
submitted his annual message. He favOrs
a reorganization of the State debt in the
form Of obligations payable in thirty years,
bearing an annual interest of four per cent.
sterling. A plan for providing State cur
rency is proposed, which the Governor be-
lieves would relieve one of the most
grievous wants Of the people. He renews
the recommendations of his first message
on immigration, and says the State
should be her own agent in
the matter, thereby freely giving to
actual and prospective immigrants
information in an authenticated form and
insuring them against all impoSitions, etc.
He recommends stringent and ehectual
legislation to prevent gross inequalities in
charges ON some of the railroads, especially
at points where competition does not in
sure fair charges. he favors the compile
ton of the Central Water line by the COM
mon Government, and urges the Withholding
of no possible aid or announcement which
might contribute to the cOnsummatIOn of
that great work. The Governor makes
to economy and improvement in State
government.
The Cheap Transportation COnven-
tiOn.
The Cheap Transportation Convention
met this forenoon. Col. B. w. Frobel, of
Georgia, read the report of the Committee
on Artificial Water Routes. The report
states the fact that the United States Sem
ate Committee on Transportation recon-
mended the four water routes endorsed by
the Convention last year, and then quotes,
and adopts as its Owp, the Senate commit
tees report.
Hon. J. C. Southall, of Virginia, pre-
scented supplemental report, in which he
argued ably against the idea that railroads
will answer for heavy transportation, and
insisted upon the necessity of the four
great water routes, viz: The connecting of
the Mississippi with the four great lakes; a
central route between the Ohio river and
Chesapeake Bay, via the James river and
Kanawha canal; the great Tennessee and
Georgia canal, and the improvement of the
Mississippi river.
Resolutions were introduced requesting
Congress TO extend such reasonable aid to
the Texas Pacific Railroad as will insure
its speedy completion, and to prohibit, I'M
der heavy penalty, all combinations be-
tween competitive lines of transportation
whether, by land or water, from Initiating
their capital; also memorializing Congress
to establish a Court of Commercial Justice
whose decisions shall be subject to review
BY the Supreme Court of the United States,
and advocating the establishment of maxi
mum rates for all railroad traffic crossing
State lines. Resolutions that the senti-
ment of the convention is adverse to in
creased taxation upon the people in the
shape of interest created by an increased
bonded debt, and recommending Congress
to adopt the national gauge of feet 81
inches, were also offered and referred.

GRANGE.WORK.
Annual Session of the Alabama
Grange.
Interesting Address Of Master Cham
hara

Dera.
MONTGOMERY, Dec. 2.-The first annual
session of the Alabama State Grange met
yesterday, William Chambers presiding.
Fifty counties of the sixty-fite are repre-
sented by 100 delegates, and others are
coming in. Each county with twelve
oranges or less sends one delegate. and
those with more send two. The State OIL
GERS are present. The address of Mr..
Chambers was very elaborate and able. He
advised prompt action on the constitutional
amendments submitted by the National
Grange; opposed the plan of representation
based ON numerical strength, and advised
the rejection of the amendment
providing therefor; recommended that
a committee memorabilia Congress
on the subject of cotton tax;
the appointment Of an agent in Washing
ton to represent the interests of planters;
recommended memorial to the State Leg
islature for a geological survey Of the
State with view of an Official promulga-
ton of its advantages In minerals, that i'm
migration may be thereby induced, and
promising the cooperation Of the State
Grange in the work; reviewed what is
known as
INC OCA@<a-h nAA 6N8tcMAA9
that is, small whiskey shops established
near large plantations, where the freedmen
trade stolen produce for rum, to the ruin Of
themselves and the planters, and recon-
mended that the Legislature be me-
morialized to put an end to said traffic;
recommended a change in the register
of the deputies by substituting county
deputy or general oyerseer Of Oranges in
each county, who shall represent the county
in the State Grange and act as delegate to
its annual session; acknowledged the obli-
CATION of the Grange to the national body
for the relief furnished sufferers last spring,
aud addressed suitable acknowledgment
therefor. He also recommended the estab-
lishment Of a Grange organ at some central
point, 10 serve as mode Of communica-
ton between the officers of the Order; and
proposed the holding of grand
State fair next fall under Grange
auspices, and suggested The prupriety
Of attempting Some reformation Of
abuses in the matter of commercial
fertilizers, such as the erection of home
mandatory under the supervision of resi-
dent chemists, supplied with cheaper and
better articles. In conclusions he reviewed
the agency ard cooperative system, and adj
Fis5d Is the best means of getting the aid
of middle men in the provision business,
that more attention be paid to the raising
of supplies at home. Much Of diSappoint-
ment arising from the system as practically
operated, he traced to imperfect organiza-
tion and the necessary friction in matter
go complicated and 50. new. When South
ern farnneFs shall make their farms self
sustaining, there will be less complaint Of
middle men.

HERE is an important fact in chemistry:
Dealers in kirschwasser test its purity with
gum guaiacum, and this test is accepted as
absolute in the whole trade. If it is kirseh-
wasser made hOm cherries it turns the
powdered guaiac blue; but if it is coun-
terfeit made of favored alcohol it
does not have this effect. Re-
Gently. however, one Of the best dis
tiIlers has made known that his kirSch-
wasser made from cherries, with every at
tention to details, does not give the requir-
ed reaction. Upon inquiry he hnds that
the ordinary kirschwasser made on a small
scale is made in copper kettles, takes uI
copper from the vessel, and that it IS this
copper in kirsch which turns guaiaeum
blue. But the prejudice has so firm a bold
of the trade that he has to poison Ms
LIQUOR in order to sell it.
