TAX COLLECTORS BONDS.

1t has ions, been known that the bonds given
by the state tax-.ollectors were almost worth
lcs.. A. one after another became defaulters,
II was discovered that the State had nothing
TO fall back upon, and the very means the law
provided 20 secure the State were resented to
in order to allow these hgurehcad. to reap
gam. without risk. Straw bonds, X own ("
be such, we'e readily accepted by the carpet
bag Government, and the -. GERS giving then.
allowed TIE custody of public moneys.
We have lately seen the official bond of one
JAS 3. Wan Is, tax collector OF TtnSlpahoa
parish. This bond i, for the amount OF
S13, 600, and, with one exception, his ,uretie-
are entirely worthless. Should he to-day
decamp with the collections it would be im-
possible for more than $500 to- be tealized
aftes Judicial proceedings against the securi-
ties. This il only one instance. Take most
Of the bonds given by the collectors and the
same will be found to be true.
The sums collected are retained i'll the
hands Of these custodians, appointed by kel-
logg, for - considerable time, and it is no: un-
usual tor them to reap their fortunes by
speculation, as if it was their own. These
men take all chances. If their ventures prove
unsuccessful, they leave for parts unknown ;
if they are more lucky they receive the con-
gratulations Of their confreres.
Blanchard. brother happened to be on the
losing side and vamoosed others, more be-
lovei by Dame Fortune live in atfuence.
1t is not difficult, however, for these de
titulters to secure compr mise from Clinton.
He is always willing to screen his friends and
the securities generally come out without
much sacrifice. This is d fair sample Of kel-
logg's men placed in office through the recon-
mendaton Of his party. They use public
funds for their own elnolument; and the State,
ruined and almost bankrupt, has to suffer
from this outrageous action.

"MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"


Yesterday an individual en familiar terms
with the dc 'tcto, having aspirations tending
to :. position in the Custom House, the pecu-
liar advantages of which are small work and
big pay, called at Pitts palatial residence on
Canal street for the purpose Of procuring his
signature to til. document, which set forth III
glarins terms the qualifications many and
varied, Of the applicant therein named
for the place. Approaching the timidity
of kellogg, and the general CONFUSION of
hi. nerve. which follows every ring at
the door bell, the visiting genius went in
the side way, with the intention Of making his
pres nc. known to some OF the domestics
who 1ould bIeak the tact that man wants
to see you Z" William in Il gentle way he
however, had not advanccdten steps, when two
of the mctropolitans VIII" do duty there seized
on HIM, and pushed hi out. and led the way
to the station.

60 inform his captors that his visit was friendly
and that be was well known to the Governor,

san FRANCISCO NEWS.

san FRANCISCO Sept. 4.-The steamship Great
Republic arrived here to-day, bringing Yokohama
dates to August 4.
The Japanese adhere to their determination not
to be driven into a war with China, except in the
last extremity. The whole tendency of their
present negotiations is pacific but so many IN
iluences operate against them that they feel the
necessity of fully preparing themselves to this
end.
Large bodies of troops have been assembled in
certain Southern ports ready for instant del arturo
III Of need, and several large steamers have
been added to their transport fleet. Gen. Lee
gcndre who sailed for China "a fortnight since to
continue peaceful negotiations, and who COM
menccd III Formosa, was arrested by the United
States on landing at Annoy. 1t is not yet known
whether he will be temporarily or permanently
detained.
The astonishmcut at the news Of hi. seizure was
chiefly caused BY the fact that the alnicablc clIar
aeter OF his mission was known to everybody 1t
Is looked upoa as another proof Of the determine
Ii of foreign representatives to ob-truct the cf-
forts Of Japan to arrive at fair understanding.
No foreigner acting il behalf of China has been
.uoestcd or intoricrcd with III any way.
The japanese Government, fortunately fore
seeing the possibility Of obstacles in Gen. Legen-
dre- cas-, dispatched other commissioners i'm
Acdately after his departure who could not BE-
hinlered III fulfilling their duties.
They are to proceed directly to Pc in.
The Mikado takes the keenest interest IL. the
deliberations ot the GO.ernl.ci.t o.. the Forino-a
question.
On the ith inst, Ne PERSONAL, visited the
Office Of the first Board IF the Government, and
presided over hc debate all act almost precedent
in modern times.
United tatcs Consul Gen. Stanbury arrived
and assumed the duties of his office. Gen
Myers and Col. Lyford, Of the United States
army, specially commissioned by President Grant
to bring presents Of new improved arms to the
Sovereign of Japan, IN 9eddo. They were

| In the unlikely event Of war with China, 1t Is
probable that these Instruments OF attack among
which were Calling guns, would bemade immediate
use Of if 1t does not appear, however, that Bing.
ham has issued any order forbidding their de
| livery to the japanese authorities.
The affair of the Simonesh indemnity has
taken turn that could never have been antici
pated by Americans. Bingham had received in
structions from Washington to demand full pay
ment and the amount has been deposited to hi
credit.

Of Internal Revenue, Cobb, of North Carolina.

THE STATIONS FOR THE Troops SOUTH.
" AsMS6IoS, Sept. 4.-Betore leaving here
last night Attorne, General Williams addressed
letter to the Secretary of War, III the natur of
request, to order the station of United States
troops at certain points indicated by INN, and
where the Southern outrage have been the most
violent.
This letter was to-day forwarded, by lielknap 20
Gen. Mcdowell, commanding the Department Of
the South, together with the circular issued yes
tcrday by the Attorney General with instr,,c
tlons to so dispose of the forces under his com
mand as to insure strict enforcement OF its
provisions, and the protection of both white and
black citizens in Their rights.
Secretary Belknap says he sntcnds to comply
strictly with the terms of the circular, but will
not Issue the order for the movement Of troops
from the War Department direct, but from time
to time, as information OF outra-es are conmunI-
Gated will receive from the Attorney General the
loca tiles where the military is most needed, and
will notify Gen. Mcdowell to so apportion hls
command as to meet the eNigencies Of the situa
ton as they may arise.
There are now in the Southern States, exclu-
sve of Tennessee and Texas four regiments of
the army, with headquarters follows: LIST Ar
tillcry at Charleston, I'd Infantry at Atlanta, Ga.
81 Infantry at Holly Springs, Miss, and 18th In
fantrv at Columbia, $. G. The troubles are prin-
cpally in the middle part of Alabama, the Red
River country Of Louisiana and in Georgia.
Ii is more than probable that Gen. Mcdowell
will at once issue orders changing the present
stations Of his command to a point which will
cover the points designated.
The following is the distribution Of the troops
IN the several Southern states: Three companies
of the ID Infantry i'll Alabama, six in Georgia,
and one in Tennessee The entire Sd Infantry at
Holly Springs, Miss. Three companies of the
10th Infantry in Kentucky, two i'll Arkansas one
in Mississippi one in Louisiana, and one in Ten
nessee. Eight companies of the 18th Infantry N
South Carolina, two i'll Georgia.
Eight companies Of the 1st Artillery in Florida,
one in Georgia, two in South Carolina and one in
Virginia. Six companies of the End Artillery in
North Carolina, one i'll South Carolina, one in
Virginia and four in Maryland, making the whole
number of troops in the South abou, $500. The
3D. Infantry was ordered to Louisiana several
months ago, but, en- account of the warm weather
and the liability to fever it decided tibet they
should remain at Holly Springs until the fall. 1t
will now be hurried to Louisiana.
