GENERAL JAIL DELIvERY.---There
was general jail delivery of the pris-
oners confined in the county jail at
Honesdale, Pa, on Saturday last
Among them was James Gregg, noto-
rious horse-thief and ringleader of o
gang that has operated along the Della
ware and Susquehanna for years. Both
the sheriff and under-sheriff were ab-
sent from Honesdalc when the prison
ers escaped, the jail being in charge of
the sheriffs wife. A few days previ-
Gus to the escape Sheriff Spencer took
three letters out of the post office ad-
dressed TO Gregg. They were post
marked at village in Susquehanna
county. From the tone of the letters
1t was evident that some move of the
kind subsequently accomplished was
on foot, and the sheriff took extraor-
dinary precautions against it. The
Jail is not a secure one, although com
paratively new, prisoners having es-
capped on several previous occasions.
On Saturday circumstances compelled
the absence of both officers. The
sheriff, expecting to be back at night,
did not caution his wife to lock Gregg
in an inner cell, and when he returned
next day the Jail was empty. A num-
Der OF prisoners awaiting trial for vari-
Gus oflcnses at the coming September
sessions were set free by Gregg, and il
planned by him. Not n bar had been
was evident the whole thing had been
broken or any opening made in any OF
the walls. Every cell door was un-
locked as regularly as II the work had
been done by the turnkey himself A
large lead key, filed to fit the cell doors,
was picked up on Smith Hill, three or
four miles from Honesdale, some hours
after the escape was discovered. No
trace of the prisoners has as yet been
found. Hr.,.

THE STATE TREASURY RING
The Philadelphia Times says; The
letter Of Attorney General Dimmick in
answer to an inquiry addressed TO him
by Auditor General Temple, will be
found rather instructive reading. II
shows with what care the State Treas.
ury has been guarded, il not from NAL.
administration, at least from impertinent
inquiry. The substance of Mr.. Dim.
micls opinion is that the State Treas,
urcr was formerly required to report to
the Auditor General every month the
different sums of money in the treas
ury, including the amount in the sink.
ing fund, and giving in detail where
the money was deposited but that
since the passage OF the act of 1874, his
report is to be "exclusive Of moneys
appropriated to the sinking fund" and
the Auditor General has no authority
to require statement of this fund, al
though il comprises very considera-
BILE proportion Of all the money in the
treasury. Practically, this may not
materially abridge the powers Of the
Auditor General, who, beside his gen.
eral authority and duty to supervise
the finances of the State, is himself one
of the Commissioner of the sinking fund,
sharing the responsibility of its care.
1t affords us, however, another illus
tration Of the complete and admirable
system by which Mr.. Mackey has con.
trived to keep things in his own hands,
and it very plainly points the moral
which the Times has been trying to en-.
force upon the small politicians and
their organs, that the people of Penn
sylvania have got to overthrow this
whole system and the combination that
has created and perfected 1t, and not
to waste their time in crying for inves-
legations that only bring up against
laws that have been carefully framed
by the official who is to be investigated.
A treasurer with the means and ability
to keep legislature in his service pre-
sumab!y has sense enough to make his
books balance. The evil lies deeper
than that.
