GEORGIA STATE TREASURER.

| ATLANTA, Feb. 23.-The sub-tinance com
| mlttee appointed to examine the treasury
made an elaborate and voluminous report to
day, the salient points of which are as fol
lows: The 1st Of January last Treasurer Jones
reported cash on hand 81, 003, 900.
Since that time there was collected S167, 600
making total for which he is responsible 81 ;.
10000; for which he is credited as follows:
SOB, 900 in hands OF agents in New York
to pay maturing bonds and interest, coupons
tor which were not received at the time
Treasurer Jones made his report to the Legis-
lature; also Sl79, 600 paid out by Fourth Ma
tional Bank Of New York Interest and pre-
MUM on gold also paid out of the Treasury
direct on Executive warrants since 1st Janu-
airy, Sl24 200; also cash on hand S1G7 900,
making 81, l02, 600, which leaves deficit Of
SGS, 900.
To account for this deficit Treasurer Jones
submits informal vouchers tor advances made
to civil establishments, the State roads, ex-
change bills, Executive warrants signed by
Bullock, interest on temporary loan, loss by
failure of Jno. King, Columbus, and counter
felts amounting to about SD, 900. none of
which are in proper form and which upon a
superficial examination the committee do not
allow; thus leaving about four thousand un-
accounted for altogether.
hO oo1iilletct Stdtt luttI treasurer
Jones has illegally paid hundred and fifty
two thousand old bonds, due January, 1872,
some being part Of bonds said by Bullock to
have been paid by Clews. OF course Jones is
not charged with this in foregoing balance
Jones states, in extenuation, that he had no
notice Of their previous payment.
The committee conclude by recommending
hat Jones be requested to resign, and in the |
went that he refuses, that the State appoint
competent financial agent to supervise the
treasury Department and ascertain accurately |
he condition of the State finances.
The committee does not attack the integ-
1ty OF the Treasurer, but condemns, without
qualification, the system Of book keeping and
he general administration Of the Treasury.
The report was ordered printed and made the
peclal order for tomorrow morning.
1t is not known whether Jones will resign
r not. 1t is predicted by many that he will
ot. # he refuses, there is some talk of i'm
'eaching him; but there will hardly be re-
ort to such violent measures.
Ample provision will be made by the pres
Mt Legislature to cover all deficits and keep
be finances Of the State in healthy condi-

CONGRESSIONAL.
THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a Has up bill for adj
mission Of Colorado as a State
The Senate to-day passed bills for the ad-
miss ion of Colorado and New Mexico, and
then took up Mr.. Mortons bill to provide for
and regulate the counting of votes for Presi-
don't and Nice-President, but ad burned with
out action.
the Colorado and New Mexico bills, so that
they will have to go back to the House for
the action of that body.
The Treasury will tomorrow commence the
payment of the March interest on the 10-4Os
without rebate.
The President has nominated Harvey Jew
ell, the brother of the Postmaster General. to
be Judge of the Alabama Court of Claims.
THE HOUSE.
Reports were made from the Committee of
Elections giving the seat from Louisiana to
Sheridan as against Pinchback, and from Ar
kansas to Hodge as against Gauze, to be
called up hereafter
An effort was made to get consideration of
the Louisiana report and of the Arkansas re-
port, and OF the caucus force bill, but by a
fusion between the Democrats and the mod
crate Republicans reference was given to
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, and the
House went into committee upon it.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3E-NIr: g. +. Hoar, Of
Massachusetts, rose to cali NJ the report of
the Special Committee on Louisiana Affairs.
MIR. Coburn, of Indiana, raised the question
of consideration and desired to have prece-
dence given to the bill reported by him,
known as the Caucus Force bill
MIR. Poland, of Vermont, claimed that his
report on Arkansas matters should have
precedence
MIR. Ward, of Illinois, sustained Mr. Po-
lands views and represented that the dis
turbed condition of Arkansas demanded
prompt action by Congress.
Mr.. Hoar said that the resolution reported
by nm yesterday contained recommendations
which were concurred in by all the members
of the special committee, and immediate ac-
ton was desirable in view of the fact that the
Louisiana House of representatives which
was asked to remedy the injustice, would ad-
ourn in a few days.
Mr.. Poland suggested that all these South
ern matters should be allowed to stand aside
until after the passage of the Sundry Civil !
Appropriation BILL aud that then they be
taken up i'll the order of their presentation to
the House.
Mr. Smith, of New York, claimed that the
constitutional amendment reported bv him |
for the election of President and Vice Presi-
dent was the unfinished business before the |
House, and was a measure OF the highest i'm |
portance MIR. Conger OF Michigan, intima-
ted that Poland was the representative OF the |
party of 'masterlv inactivity" and that he |
might have had action on the Arkansas affairs |
long ago.
Mr.. Poland defended himself from the inn
putation, and said he had only failed to press
the earliest consideration OF Arkansas in de-
ference to the publ; business as represented

Nothing is impossible, Mr.. Evarts, to
people who cross on our ferries-that is the
understanding between the company and the

Bark.ClOtll.

The natives OF Uganda, one of the districts
OF Central Africa, are expert in the manutac-
ture of barh-cloths Of a very fine quality The
mode by which they prepare these fabrics is
simple and rapid. \ species of ig-tree yields
the bark suited to the manufacture. This is
detached from the tree in strips about six
feet long and as wide as possible The outer
rlnd is pared off with lance-head held in the
two hands, after the manner of using COOP
er's drawing knife.
The bark is then spread upon wooden
beam upon the ground, and hammered with
a mallet grooved in fine cuts, which, with
every blow, stamps the bark with lines some
what resembling corduroy. The bark is ex-
banded by the pounding and is repeatedly
turned during the process, which is continued
until 1t Is beaten into a cloth of fine texture
When taken from the tree, the bark is
white; but it soon assumes delicate shade OF
brown The best cloths are ornamented with
patterns in black, (which are produced bv
drawing the design with water from iron
springs. This, combining with the tannin in
the bark, Immediately stains it black. Sheet,
Of bark-cloth are often dyed black by miners
