Hall q Co., extensive lumber dealers,
OF this city, have suspended, with liza
bilitles amounting to about one million

about twenty per cent. of the indebt-
edness is in business paper. The fail
ure is attributed to the long depression

here last night, 10 relieve paymaster
Spaulding. a court of inquiry will
assemble ut Mare Island, on October
9Th, to examine Spaulding's accounts.
The latter is supposed to be involved
by tie peculations of q. NJ. .Pinney, late
purchasing clerk. Admiral Rogers, OF
the Mare Island navy yard, states that
he does not know the amount of the
defalcation, but it is supposed to be
very large. Spauldlng, last night,
stated that the loss will fall on indi-
viduals, not on the department, that
Pinney's frauds consisted in fraudu-
lently filling up certificates for the
payment due on contracts which had
been signed in blank by Spauldfng
aud hypothecatingt them to certain par
ties, with notes of responsible parties
attached and that the makers and en-
dorsers of notes will be liable. Spauld-
ing claims that he knew nothing of the
transactions until the certificates were
presented Tor payment.

mixing In Collecting the
Revenue.
The legal salary of the Supervisors
of Internal Revenue is $4,000 a year,
and like other Government officials
they have always been allowed in
their regular accounts, railroad fsres,
and subsistence when travelling away
from their offices on public business.
About two years ago, Hawley, who
lived in Buffalo. was appointed super
visor for New York, with headquar-
tiers in New York city. In his first
account he included his hotel bills
while in New York and his travelling
expenses between his Office and his
home, and these items were stricken
out BY the Auditor. OH the ground
that Government officers were by law
supposed to reside where their regular
Offices were, and that If they lived
elsewhere they must bear themselves
the attendant expenses. Any other
construction would allow every Gov
eminent official and clerk In Wash
ingtOn to get his subsistence out OF
the Government, in addition to his
legal salary. The next time Hawley's
accounts were included, and when
objection TO passing them was made,
the Auditors attention was called to
an order nominally changing his
headquarters to Buffalo, though all
business continued to be transacted
in New York The bills were then
passed. The precedent having been
established. all other supervisors and
many revenue agents, put in similar
claims, and Of course they were al
lowed, the aggregate annual expense
of collecting sAe revenue being thus
greatly increased AS soon rs ex-
Senator Pratt became Commissioner.
and his attention was called to these
facts, he st once ordered his clerks to
strike cot all such items. This order
brought many Of the revenue officials
to Washington, and some threatened
to resign if their claims were not al
lowed, but Mr.. Pratt was not easily
frightened, and carried his point.
Nearly ALI the collectors of internal
revenue are now paid by special al
is, the Secretary Of
the Treasury fixes the amount they
shall receive for salary and expenses
on the recon naeadation Of the Com
missioner. Mr.. Pratt has made
general reduction in these special al
lowances, thus enforcing greater econ
omy in collecting revenue.

Bursting of the Callforni. bubble.

Bursting of the California Bubble.
The suspension of the Bank of
California is q god send for the
roaring William Allen and William
Kelley shinplaster-swindle lunatics.
It was hard money establishment,
doing business on gold basis
that is, pretending to do business
on a gold basis. It will serve the
purposes of the botomless shin
plaster-swindle delusionists all the
same, whether the pretense was
true or false. Behold will be
the cry, s'behold your boosted
specie basis system! Like q pow
der magazine, or an exploding vol
cano, it goes up, and the industry
of California is scattered in ruins.
So much for your good golden
eggs; you perceive that they spoil.
Give us rotten shinplaster eggs
that are beyond spelling"
The truth is that the Bank OF
California, though pretentiously a
banking house based on ''hard
pan," was one of the most trelnen.>
dously inflated gambling shops that
ever existed in America. The own
ers and managers of it were reckless
and generally lucky spectators,
but not bankers. They were of
much spread and big diamond
shirt pins; men like Jay Cooke,
who squandered millions in build
ing grand Oriental palaces and
preposterously big hotels; who
lavished on equipagos and enter
tainments and gilded ''splurge"
the revenues of Eastern princes;
who stool ready to put money in
unlimited amounts into any and
"damphool' speculation that adver
tised a brilliant pyrotechinic pro
gramme. AS single instance of
the reckless readiness of the head
of that concern to squander money,
may be mentioned his purchase at
big price in hard money, of a
watch factory formerly situated
near this city, which the owners
had found to be a white elephant |
that no body else could be persuad
ed TO take off their hands.
The Bank of California was the
grandest, brightest, shiniest, gold
enest, most pretentions, inflated,
hollow. and unsubstantial repre-.
sentative of false principles-even
of shinplaster principles in bank
ing that perhaps ever existed in
this country. It is utterly false to
say that it was conducted on O gold |
basis, for it was not. It was con-
Quoted on gambling basis, and
was managed upon the same theory
exactly that is so vehemently
championed by the bottomless
sllinplaster-swindle fools on this
side of the mountains It was a
monstrous overinfated bubble of
debt and credit The greatest
wonder is that it did not explode
before
Fortunately, the explosion does
not affect the situation of affairs in
this great central region of the
continent, nor is it likely that it
VIII seriously involve any impor-
tant interest of the eastern frontier.
To California, the explosion of that
grand gilded fraud is q severe blow;
but its evil effects are sure to be
compensated by moro enduring
good effects-Chicago Times.

The Yute Indians have the fol.
lowing account of the creation: I'm
the beginning the earth was COW
cred with mists. You could not
see before you. The Great Spirit
took his bow and arrows and shot
shot so well that he scattered
the mist. TIE earth became visible
to him, but there were no men up
on ii. Then he took clay, fashioned
a man, and set him to bake Man
came out white: the fire had not
been strong enough. The Great
Spirit began his work again, and
this time the man came out quite
black; he had renamed too long in
the oven. 1t was necessary to try
a thiri time. The experiment. at
length succeeded, and man came
ont done to turn; he was the red
skin, the most perfect of human
types"
