THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION

The House of Representatives has
turned it's attention from Blaine's
"bloody shirt " declarations to more
timely topics. Last week resolution
was introduced asking that a special
committee be appointed to examine the
bookkeeping system of the Treasury
Department. A similar resolution has
been introduced in the Senate. and
facts are being disclosed which are not
in the least plimentary to ex-
Treasurer Boutwell,, now Senator from
Massachusetts. 1t is charged that the
bookkeeping system in the Treasury
Department is very loose, and that
large sums are unaccounted for; that
for years appropriations have been mis-
applied, contrary to law; that there has
been an over issue of bonds, or larger
amount of interest paid than the bonds
issued called for, and that the Govern
ment does not know within $40, 0O0,-
coo what the public debt ISL This lat
ter charge is based upon the statement
of the clerk in the warrant-room, who
says he cannot give the exact amount
of the public debt because Of errors
that have crept in and been perpetrated
for years without correction. Investi-
cations of this character are of greater
Importance to the country than the
discussion of the causes which led to
the rebellion, and a revival of the pre-
JUDGES created by the war.

A HARD CASE.
Four Innocent Men in the Cali
fOrnia state Prison-The Real
Culprits Arrested.
SAN Francisco, January 20.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 20.
On the 18th of July, 1872, the
Canyon City (Oregon) stage was way
laid by highwaymen and the pas
sengers and treasure-box robbed. Four
men were subsequently arrested on
suspicion and tried. The evidence
produced against them was purely
circumstantial, but was considered
sufficiently convincing by the jury to
warrant them in rendering verdict of
guilty. The Court sentenced them to a
life of servitude in the State Peni-
Tertiary, where they are now incar-
cerated. Recently the attention of
United States District Attorney NAL
lony of Oregon has been called to the
arrested DR.. Phelps at Lewiston,
Washington Territory. and Milton
Shepardson at Colusa, California. The
evidence the authorities have of Shop
ardson's guilt is represented to be con-
elusive. The four innocent men who
were sentenced for life for a crime OF
which Shepardson and his accomplices.
DIR, Phelps and others, now stand
charged with having committed, have
been three years in the State Prison.
One of them has wife and several
children living. Much sympathy is
felt for the unfortunates, who will un-
doubtedly soon be released from Gus
tody.

The Social Science Association
Interesting Papers Read.

SARATOGA, September THE Social
Science Association held two sessions to.
day, which we're we'll attended and cx.
cited much interest. Mr.. Sanborn pre-.
sented a report on the cotton industry OF
Fall River, showing it's rapid growth and
the social conditions OF poverty and igno-
rance by which il was accompanied. DR..
Davis, OF Fall River, and Derby, Of Bos-
ton, debated tue question, and spoke ia
vorably OF the present prospects ol the
city. Mr.. Atkinson read paper on the
relation OF the currency to prices, which
was warmly debated by Prof. Sumner,
Horace White, E. Wright, and others.
Charles Nordhotf read papers on the con-
dition OF the South, showing the i'll effects
OF the continued interference OF the gen
eral government with the colored race.
and contrasting the condition Of affairs
in Georgia formerly, with them in some
other States, where the affairs are more
Influenced from Washington. This was
debated and views generally concurred
in by Z. Wright, Edward Atkinson, Geo:
Bradford, DR.. Howe, and Prof Sumner, OF
leCollege. The latter believed that we in
the North should mind our own business,
and was opposed to interference by the
Federal Government in the internal
affairs OF the Southern States. ~
In the Jurisprudence meeting Prof:
Dwight read a paper on law schools, and
D. B. Eaton one by Prof. Van Holtzen-
dorfi, Of Munich, on legal education in
Europe. These were debated by Q: A.
Peabody, Of New York, L. L. Delafeld
and George Headley, Of Ohio, ]. NJ. Bar
nard, Of Boston, and others.
In the evening the Conference OF Char
tiles Joined the Social Science Associa'
ton in debating the question Of Chinese
immigration. The question was started
in letter read by Mr.. Sanborn from F.
B. Thurber, OF New York, who while in
San Francisco made investigations. He
instanced the falsity OF many OF the
charges made against the Chinese, and
seemed to view them favorably.
D.. Wells did not think tho Chinese
could assimilate with our people any
more than the Latin and negro races,
and that they would have in time to get
out Of our way.
Prof. Sumner, spoke briefly, and was
followed by Mr.. Linstry, Of Oregon, who
clearly favored the Chinese and did not
believe that any attempt to modify the
Burlingame treaty was practicable. The
Chinese are beginning to vote, and the
question will be governed by. that in time.

Gov. Hayes Return OF Taxable
F. PfODerfY.

TOLEDO, September 7.-The Commercial
tomorrow will contain special from
Fremont O., giving the card Of Gen. R.
P. Burchard, supported by afidavits,
denying in toto the allegation that Gov.
Hayes had defrauded in tax returns in
1874, 1875 and 1875.
The card is first given as published in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and then 1t says
that Burchard in 1878 returned 1000 in
money, not personal property exclusive
Of credits, as stated in the dispatch; ,9s2
in other property. In1s72 Burchard re-
turned $1,000 in money and no credits.
His banker sIates that he knew he had
no such an amount. The Governor says
the card returns as published are incor-
rect. Governor Hayes never had a $500
watch. According to the statement OF
himself and others Of the family he has
three watches, one worth 500, aud two
others, valuable only as keepsakes wor th,
not exceeding $40. The return for "a
ought to have been, and probably was, for
three watches. The piano dealer de-
clares that Hayes never owned q
piano until May 1876, when he pur.
chased one at a cost Of $500. Concerning
the horses and carriages, the statement
made is supported by the affidavit Of the
carriage manufacturer who sold Hayes
one Of them, that Hayes in 1874 owned
lumber wagon and q buggy, worth not
exceeding $40; that In 1875 he owned a
cutter and one.horse wagon additional,
the whole not worth more than $170. In
May, 1875, he purchased an old phaeton
at a cost OF $50, and also new
carriage at a cost OF Si75, which
in April; 1876, was not worth over $500.
The affidavit OF the assessor who listed
property in 1875, declares that Hayes
horses were three in number-one q
years old, one 20 and the other arony.
The value Of the three, under rule
agreed on by the assessor, was not over
Siz5, yet Hayes fixed their value himself
at $500. As household goods in. 1878
Burchard returned $500. 1n1S75 Hayes
returned 81 900; in 1875, S5,000;. in 1876,
$4,500. The increase in 1876 was owing
To improvements in the grounds and an
addition to his library. ~
Mr.. A. II. Miller, Cashier OF the First
National bank of Fremont, Hayes coun-
ty, executor Of State, under oath, the only
property left by Burchard, deceased, sub
iect to taxation wasSl,5 "a 80. The mon
ey in the bank was from $4,000 to Sl5,-
600 in credits, contracts, notes, NC. His
other, personally. which in '7S listed at
S9S2, and the bank-stocks and taxes on
which were regularly paid by the bank.
In ~ Burchhard listed the credits at
$4,000 and in 1878 at $4,000, the latter
entered incorrectly as money. Hayes
became owner OF the property at the death
Of his uncle, and all legacies became per-
sonal debts. He states that at no time
since Burchards death has the Governor
not owed more money than was owing to
him. All the material facts are support
ed by aifidavits.

COLUMBUS, o., September IA special
from Caldwell says the Soldiers National
Reunion closed to-day with sham bat
tie, participated in by one hundred vet

and goodbye speeches. The reunion has
been a great success.
The following telegram was received

Unionarmy, to be held at Caldwell, The
services rendered by these men cannot be
overestimated, for they and their com.
rades saved this nation, and fought sue
