The recent disclosures in the Water
works investigation have caused con-
siderable discussion as TO the penalties
prescribed BY statute for loaning or bor-
rowing public money by persons con-
nected with MUNICIPAL government in
this State. An idea seems to be preva.
lent in some quarters that there is no
penalty attached when the money is re-
turned. The following act Of the Legis-
lature, passed in 1858, will perhaps cor
rect those Impressions:
"Ifany officer or other person, charged
with the collection, receipt, safe.keep-
ing, transfer or disbursement Of the pub
lie money, or any part thereof, belonging
to any organized city.in this Stale, snail
convert to mis- own use, or to the use Of
any other person or persons, In any way
whatever, or shall loan with or without
interest to any individual, any portion
of the public money received, controlled
or held by him for safe-keeping."
"or il any person shall advise, aid or
in any manner participate in such act,
every such act shall be deemed and held
in. law to be an embezz. ement, and is
hereby held to be a high crime and misde-
meanor, punishable by Imprisonment In
the penitentiary at hard labor from one
to II years, and Unable in double the
sum embezZled."

A Yokohama correspondent Of recent
| date says: A drama, which in the end
proved tragedy, has been enacted
amongst us during the pastweek. On Mon
day, April 10, it was discoyesed that two
European officials Of the Compton
d. 'Escompte de Paris disappeared and
that large sum of money was missing.
Preparations fer pursuit were ut once
made, and 1t having been ascertained
that the fugltives had escaped in q ves-
sci called the IRIS, which had been pur-
chased for them by an accomplice, a
fast, steam-tug was chartered, and the
British Consular Constable, armed with
Q warrant for their arrest, and accompa-
MED by a sub-Iieutenant aud six blue
jackets Of IL. III. 5. Thalia, went into
pursuit.. Within three hours the fugi-
tives were oveftaken and the vessel
boarded, whereupon the defaulters, see-
ing their game was up, went below and
shot themselves. ABBOTT $84,0 has been
recovered, and the vessel, which was
brought back, will, Of course, prove a
further asset, bus it is known that
large sum will stall be found deficient.
The whole affair. from the flight OF the
detaulters and the discovery OF the ROB-
suicide OF the principal actors in the
tragedy, occupied about dozen hours
only. An inquest was held on the tol
lowing day OH the body of one of them,
an English subject named Swaby. A
verdict VI feio de Sc was returned, and
tAe criminals were buried in the Gen.
eral Cemetery late in the evening. The
body of Swaby has since been exhumed,
by his friends and rsinterred In another
portion of the grounds. The affair has
created a profound stir in the commu-
nifty, and the trial OF the captain and the
purchase OF the vessel winch carried
Them away is looked forward to With
much interest. 1t will lake plaoe on

EXHIBITION BY THE PUPILS OF THE
INSTITUTION BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE.
1t was stated last week that Maj. J. C.
Covell the Principal of the West Virginia
Deaf, Dumb Il Blind Institution, gave an
exhibition before the Legislature of that
State, in Wheeling, of the progress of the
pupils. The following accounts received
are quite interesting to Stanton readers.
The exhibi ion was given at the Hamilton
Opera House, and about one thousand
persons were present. About twenty of
the pupils were on the stage, varying in
age from 8 to 20 years. There was some
instrumental and vocal music; the first
by the orchestra and the second by the
blind pupils. The 'sGovernor," well
known character in .Staunton, sung mot
for Joe, and "Dismission, and of him the
Wheeling Register says:
We cannot conclude this notice without
referring to the excellent musical perform
ance. The orchestra was under the charge
of Mr.. j. W. Pultz, of Hampshire, more
Familiarity known us the Governor" and
to be highly appreciated Icy the audience,
as he was encored every time. The "Gov-
ernor's" imitation of the locomotive was
very natural. All the members of the
orchestra were blind. Mrs. DR.. Wilson,
formerly of North Carolina, but now of
Romney, is the teacher in the musical de-
partment, and labors with untiring zeal in
the discharge of her duties.
The Deaf-Mutes gave remarkable exhi-
billions in arithmetic and map-drawing.
There were representatives Of each class in
the institution. The Register" concludes
it's remarks thus:
Judging from the exhibition last night,
the mode Of instruction adopted at our
State institution is most thorough, and the
instructors must excel in their profession.
A little boy, a deaf mute, from this city,
eight years of age, who had been at the in
stitution only two months, could write
very well on the blackboard. Wemention
this as an evidence of the lapidity with
which the pupils are advanced at the in
stiJution.
The citizens of Wheeling urged Major
Covell to give ant ther exhibition by the
pupils, the proceeds Of which should &C to
