THAT $4,000 package some week.

THAT $4,000 package some weeks
ago stolen from the Treasury Depart
ment bids fair to come to light. Three
men, Benz. B. Halleck Assistant Ship
ing Teller, an old gambler Peg Leg
Brown, and saloon keeper named Ott-
man, have been arrested, the parties
having been Swallowed for sometime.
A partial confession reveals the tact
that Halleck purloined the money and
passed it over to Ottman. In default
of bail, 500, 900 each. the three have
been committed to jail. Ex-Treasure1

thieves were detected through the

something.

THE TWEED EscAPADE.-The stories
constructed by the guards of Boss
Tweed to account for his escape from
their custody do not seem to command
implicit credence in New York. The
Boss is always in luck. He has baffied
the various branches of the municipal
government, and, not having been able
to get habeas corpus from the courts,
has issued one on his own hook, which
thus far seems to have answered all
purposes. 1t is an extraordinary coin
eidence that he made his escape on
what is called steamer day." so that
he had the choice of half n dozen YES
sells to foreign ports. OF course, il
Tweed bas gone TO any country with
which we hold an extraditiou treaty, it
may be possible to get at him and bring
him back, but of course, so shrewd a
man, if he has gone abroad, will avoid
all such countries and never permit
himself to be overtaken by the hands
of justice again.

Many Of the city banks have issued Q
circular urging the banks and the peo-

repeal. There is no source of revenue
to the Government which causes So
much annoyance as this abominable
swe-cent tax. The amount of money is
not much it is true. but it is the con.
slant bother of having to procure a

e. The report of Postmaster g enc

e. The report of Postmaster g enc
raj Jewell is an important document
It shows that our mail service is not
yet self-sustaining. The revenues for
the past year were s27.44l. S60.57, and
the expenditures s33.6ll. 3O9.4s. The
estimated deficiency in revenue for the
fiscal year is set down at the enormous
sum of ss,lsl ,602.l9. One of the most
important recommendations made is
that repeating the increase of postage
on transient newspapers and other
printed matter. But the great feature
of the report is the argument which it
contains in favor Of subsidies to Amer
lean mail steamship lines to European
and South American ports. Jewell
has commonly been considered, with
Bristow, as the salt Of the Administra-
ton; but the salt seems to have lost its
SAVIOR. Such scheme would open the
door to frauds innumerable, and would
burden the Government with a set of
sickly transportation lines. The Re-
publican party has driven American
commerce from the seas, and the Post
master-General need not imagine that it
can be restored by payments from the
National Treasury.

like TO suggest through your paper an
idea for the consideration Of the Mary
land Legislature, which will soon meet,
in reference to the inspection of tobac-
CO. i seems that honest packers are
being made to suffer by the thieving
propensities Of many who falsely pack.
Instead Of raising the tobacco only
high enough for the inspector TO insert
his hand and feel for = sample, would
suggest that the tobacco be laid open
In three places and entirely separated,
in order that the inspector could not
only see the sample, but more easily
detect whether the hogshead had been
falsely packed. In case Of q mixture
of good and bad tobacco, be would be
able TO determine what would be fair.
Aud in every case the inspector should
order Ne place for the tobacco to be
struck to prevent bribery among the
hands.

referred to certain law as authority
