excitement was created on the streets
yesterday afternoon by the report that

Is it not passing strange that if any
portion OF the operations OF the Indian
Department is touched fraud is sure to
he discovered. Is the air Of that branch
OF the Government service SO excessively
malignant that all from the Commits
sionefs down to the employees on a res
ervaiion seem TO incontinently contract
the virus of roguery. The last revela-
ton is the delinquencies of Mr.. Com
missioner Hoag, who Governor Osborne,
OF Kansas, says ia nothing better than a
common thief. So it goes. II is the
same old tale over and over again. One
would think that il the heads OF the de-
parsment were worth the salt they eat,
they would make clean sweep of the
whole gang and try ordinarily honest
honest men just for change. They
might find the thing not so profitable,
but 1T it did not pay so well i. might be
so pleasant that honesty and not rascal
ity might be made one of the permanent
institutions of the department. At
present il seems to be one huge steal
from beginning to end.

The Financial Committee i'm favor OF
AboIishing the Sinking Fund of 1865
Adjournment Probable Next Friday
County Appropriations, etc.


.Hf Ha- AUGUSTA, Feb. IL.
The Financial Committee gave hearing on
the order relating to the propriety of abolishing
the sinking fund of 1866. Hon. j. HI. Williams
of Augusta and Judge Goddard opposed the
proposition at length. While no one appeared
to advocate the measure, it is said that large
number of gentlemen in various parts OF the
state whose opinions on that question are wor-
thy of consideration have expressed themselves
decidedly in favor of the abolition on the
ground that it is expensive to maintain it, be-
cause of the premium on state and national
bonds; dangerous because of the accommodating
funds, now over a million and quarter in
amount, liable to be devoted to other purposes
as was the case in New York. The Committee
did not vote on the question, but it is under
stood that there is decided majority of the
Committee in favor of the proposition. The
opposition comes to some extent from those
who are interested in banks which hold quite a
quantity of Maine bonds which, if the State is
compelled to purchase them for its sinking
fund. will soon advance to $105 or $1O6.
s. Most of the standing Committees have al
ready cleared their dockets and quite number
have reported finally. The Financial Commit

ting opened amid intense excitement. The
consideration of Senate bill was resumed
Gen. de Cissey assembled the Tribune and said
president MacMahon has not authorized the
ministers to Interfere in the debate on the con-
stitutonal bills, but the vote of yesterday alters
the nature of the institutions proposed and de-
priyes constitutional laws of that character
without which the conservative interests would
be endangered. The government must defend
the conservative interests. 1t cannot aereee to
Yesterdays resolution in the Assembly, and in
forms you of this before the resolution is made
final.
The announcement caused profound sensa
ton and was followed by stormy debate
NJ CharrcyrOn of the Right Centre depounc-
ed the vote of yesterday as communistic re-
venge and warned the deputies that it was
leading the country to an abyiss. He declared
that he and his friends would oppose the third
reading of the bill as amended.
An amendment offered by NJ. Bardoux of the
Left, providing that each department elect
three senators was adopted. This was incor-
porated with the amendment of yesterday,
which provided that senators should be chosen
by the same electors as deputies, and the entire
amendment was then adopted as substitute
for the first clause of the bill, 1923 yeas to 253
nays.
egories of persons eligible to senatorship was
adopted clause by clause. -..l...
A motion was then made to proceed to the
third reading of the bill. This was rejected on
a division of the house by 345 yeas to 357 nays.
The Senate bill is therefore destroyed.
The debate was continued, several members
favoring dissolution of the Assembly.

sons motion that elections for a new Assembly
be held April 4th was refused, 266 yeas to 407
nays. Bills submitted by Waddington and Won
