The DefaIeatiOn I'm the U. :. Collectors
Omee-Death Of the Accused.
LOUISVILLE, July l6.-GeOrge y. Jack
son, the Deputy L. S. Collector, whose al
legged defalcatiOn Of $4,000 was given in
these dispatches yesterday, died little af-
ter midnight. He evaded the question
whether he had taken poison, but a post
mOTtem was had this evening at the in
stance Of insurance companies, Jackson
having Sl2,5OO on his life.
Collector Buckner positively refuses to
give any additional facts TO those already
published, but it is now thought that Jack
sons peculatiOns have been carried on for
some time, the Collector rep0sing such con-
fidence in JacksOn's honesty that he was
able 70 cover up the evidences of his crime
1t was discovered yesterday afternoon by a
special agent of the Treasury Department,
who had been instructed TO examine into
the discrepancy of $4,000 in the accounts
Of the Louisville Office. Jackson was q
prominent member Of the church,
representative from the Tenth Ward
in the Board of School Trustees, and
esteemed and respected by all who knew
him. 1t is found that he has been living
for sometime in a style which his salary Of
$1,000 per annum did not warrant. He
had given bond to Collector BucBner for
So, 600, aud there may be sufficient prop
erty found to indemnify the Collector for
his loss. The news Of the defalcatiOn
created a profound sensation in the city.
Jackson leaves a young wife and several
children.
Col. P. B. Hunt, Supervisor Of Internal
Revenue, and G. w. Horton, Special Agent
make a thorough examination into the af-
fairs Of the Office, which meanwhile has
been closed.

sacrificed Annually.


sacrificed Annually.
The Nelv York Journal Of Commerce
remarks that the recent loss Of two good
swimmers in the gallant attempt to save
lady from drowning at Far ROckaway
should serve as an impressive warning
against the extreme perils Of the Inder-tOW,
ard continues as follows:
To this treacherOus foe a large number Of
lives are sacrificed annually. IL turks all
along our sea coast, even in the most fash
ionable and favored places, and is as deadly
to bathers as the croc0diles Of the Ganges-
IL must be watched for and guarded against
with the same care as q gigantic saurian-of
shark in the waters which these monsters
frednent. This lesson is preached Dy the
tremendous eloqucnce Of example with
each recurring summer; but people forget
il. or do not heed it, OF, more likely, fail 10
aDpreciate il, because they do not realize
what the under-tow is. They cannot see It
in Operation. It is not the incoming or
ebbipg tide. IL is not the eddy OF Whirl-
pool which one often sees forming, at
change Of tide, in the deep holes and
marked depressiOns near the shore. 1t
does not pertain exclusively to the flow
or the ebb, and has nothing 10 do with
wind and weather. Along some shores il
is liable to Occ7r at all times; in other To-
calities il appears only at Intervals, AM
then under conditions Of which little or
nothing Is known. We can only say Of Il
with pOsitiveness that it is a current run
ming beneath the surface in = direction con
trary TO that above it. That constitutes the

MONTREAL, July 16.-Father ROuseltOt,
cure Of the Parish Church in this city, has
written a long letter to DOutre, counsel in
the GuifOrd case, in which he sets the lat
ter at defiance as to the execution of the
late judgment of the Privy Council in that
matter. The gist Of the letter is as fol-
lows:
This day DO not recognize more than
in 1869, the right of civil authorities to
interfere in questions which belong only
to the ecclesiastical domain, and nOtwith-
standing my deep respect for our gracious
Sovereign, and my perfect submission TO
her authority in everything that belongs
TO civil matters, I am and will always be
obliged to refuse sculpture to J. GuifOrd
in cOnsecrated ground so long as my bish-
op forbids me TO grant il.
