Tine New Jersey Treasurer.

There is one leaturein the story of New
Jerseys drunken Republican treasurer
that, 1t seems to US, is worth passing no.
tlce, and We give it before deliiun tren,-
ems has done its work 1t would seem
that the treasury at Trenton, the n actual
place OF deposit, is intact The New Jer-
sey tsc is not, happily for itself, an over
whelmlng Que, and with the slecpless ewes.
OF Governor Bedle and Comptroller Run
yon on 1t, is not easily invaded. Hence
Sooy had to look elsewhere, and if he
could lind an easy debtor OF the state at a
distance, who was willing to pay on his
receipt without waiting--as the law re-
qulrles-for that of the Comptroller, he
lett pretty sure of his game. There is Il
magnificent facility in Fourth street which.
at certain seasons, when dividends and
interest are not imminent, rarely disap-
points. Mr.. Sooy rushes to Colonel
Scott. 1t is stated that the annual
amount payable by the Pennsylvania
railroad company to the state
for taxes, etc., is about $500, 900, of which.
as we understand. something near $4,000
Is yearly due. The exact amount is not
yet known to the public, for we read that
when the afrighted state authorities made
inquiry, the requisite vouchers we're not
at hand, and the company did not know
what they had paid! Now, we concede it
to be matter OF constant occurrence that
an lndlyldual impecunious CREDITOR
landlord, as New Jersey is in certain
sense-may ask an advance, generally
with discount, FROM his tenant or other
debtor. But certainly, as a general rule,
this Is not the way in which great states
and corporations transact their business.
The money is paid at a certain date. and
at the treasury--nowhere else Such a
visit as we are given to understand Soov
paid to Mr.. Roberts, or VIII, ever dis
burses money, ought at once to have put
them on their guard 1t is a sea
son OF the year when no special
eXigency presses the treasury The leg
lslature Is not in session and taxes are
coming in. Had an emergency existed,
Sooy would certainly have had credentials
from Governor Bedle or the COMPTROLLER
He took none. There was no emergency
and, without scruple, he got his money.
What convenient legislation next winter
he promised in return it is not for us to
conjecture, but to certain state officials.
actual or prospective, Colonel Scott rarely
saysno, and he gave to Sooy what, in con-
stn1iI casu, he would have given to
Mackey. What effect all this may have
in law on the Pennsylvania Company's in,
debtedness and Sooy's official bond, is a
question we do not pretend to discuss.
Should it have none, then we can only
afford to mourn at the scandal on Senator
trelinghupsen and his party. who last
winter refused to elect successor TO Sooy.
and now see their treasurer chased with
his plumber from one house of i'll fame to
another, and at last, when run to earth.
found SO drunk that he cannot be ar
raigned-N. T. World.

Judge Ross, it will be remembered, was defeated
last year in his aspirations for the Supreme

The County Convention thia afternoon deemed
it expedent to refer to d committee for consid-

TALLY as follows
While the vessel was in Neuvitas, on July s,
Evans attempted to assume an authority for
which he was subsequently reprimapded by the
Captain. On this occasion Evans retorted
with abusive language and the Captain
elected him by force from the
cabin Evans walked away muttering to HIM
sef, and after dark he took kerosene lamp
and went INTO the hold, intending, as he told
the mate, to set the vessel on fire. He changed
his mind, however, aud planned to destroy the
them, that when the vessel went to sea the
crew might starve. He also destio Dyed all the
lanterns, etc j., so that no signals could be made
at night. Having done this he told the
Captain that he was going to see the American
Consul, and left the vessel. When the vessel
was about to sail the captain ordered the crew
to make thorough inspection of everything on
hoard, and the work of Evans WAS discovered.
After an examination, the Consul ordered the
prisoner to be brought to New York The pris-
oner, who has become much emaciated through

United States Marshal Harlow yesterday, and
locked up.

THE WRECK ON THE WILMINGTON READiNd.-
The freight cars which were overturned and pre-
cipitated down steep embankment at Morton
vile, on the W. & II. Il, Il on the 11th, have
been put upon the track again and are now being
repaired No serious injury was done thom, the
extent of the damage being measured by the
tearing away of the tracks from some of the
cars. A satisfactory explanation of the oause
of the accident has not yet been given.
Being mixed train. two stops are made at each
station that is, the forward cars pick up the
local freight first and then the passenger car,
which is at the rear, is hauled up to take on pas
sengers 1t was while the latter was being
pulled into the station, while the motion was
very slow, that the cars went over. Had the
speed been greater the damage must also have
been much more than 1t was.
