It appears TINT tho dothronctl Sultan Of
Turkey Ind been laying mp treasures on
earth to m oxtent far exceeding that known
of any modern potentate. The telegram Of
yesterday, announcing the contents of Az
DuL'a strong.hox, was slightly in error, three
important ciphera iaving been omitted
from tho amount in question. 1t is now
reported that the sultan's savings amount
ed to ono hundred millions Of dollars, and
TINT tho young monarch has seized upon
tllia treasure, leaving his misery uncle =
shilling short and aon,e distance out Of tho

it will DO likely to have n healthy influence

stand how the corruption il fostorcd at the

moral lesson in plaiu ono: That tho people

What Moths OF the Lobby Cost.

II appears from the testimony taken be-
fore Mr. CLYMER's committee that over
four hundred thousand dollars was divided
in two years among the lobbyists and job
bers who succeeded in imposing u moth
exterminator on Congress. At the very
outside, one hundred thousand covered
every expense connected with this scheme
for depicting the Treasury, SO that the
profits are easily counted up. The banker
through whose hands the money passed,
furnishes very interesting catalogue of
the patriots who practised this addition,
division, and silence. Some OF them are
pretty well known to the country ms pro-
fessionas, while the names OF others are
less familiar to the general reader Of news
papers. Several of them appear to be dis
guses for more important personages.
Ii Is rather reproach to the self-appre-
citation of journalism at the capital, that
GEORGE w. BREGA, an old ex-reporter
should have pocketed $92,57l, while DoNN
PIATT, a living and actual editor only got
t22,04 Perhaps this was not DoNN's fault
altogether, for the principals swear he
stood up manfully and demanded more,
aud hence their quarrel. On his side DOM
swears that his virtue was resentful on
discovering that indirect means had been
used 10 keep the moths out Of the military
clothing. In fact, he at once telegTaphed
10 the Rev. Gen. JAMES A. GARFIELD, who,
as Chairman of the Appropriations, had
carried the eXteTminator through, and
GARFIELD with equal promptitude tele-
praphed to BELKNAP to stand firm I'M
til CowLEs X co. should come TO terms.
DOM was the subject OF misapprehen-
sion about trihe of 5000 on the Pacific
Mail, which he got as "loan" from the
President OF the New lrdia Quicksilver
Company aud he settled with IRWIN, who
carried s1i0,OO0 Of the Pacific Mail money
to Washington merely to conquer the pref
udices that were scattered in and ont of
| Congress. But in the present case there
does not appear to be any misunderstand-
ing at all.
Mr. GARFIELD's fee ms counsel does not
| appear among the items, but considering
| his arduous services, and his enlightened
opinions il may be assumed he was not
forgotten in the generous distribution.
Being Il modest patriot, he usually prefers

GOV. Tildcn at st. Louis.

Owing to the impossbilty of healing old
feuds in the Democratic party of this
State, aud especially in this city where the
quarrel has become chronic, the proceed
ings of the Utica Convention were rather
more inharmonious than has of late been
usual with the gatherings of the New
York Democracy. Gov. TILDEN suffered
somewhat at the Convention because of
these contentious, though lac had done his
best to close up the breach between the
warning factions. Indeed, the opposition
TO him among each division OF the COM
batants sprang mainly from the fact that
be would not take sides with either. but
preferred TO cndcavor to reconcile their
differences.
Owing to these quarrcls, coupled with
enInity aroused IN some portions of tie
State by the Governors war OF corrupt
Rings, there are not so many Of his'Narm
adherents and supporters among the dele
gates to st. Louis us there would otherwise
have been. Nevertheless there Is Il COM
handing majority Of his warm and Jealous
friends in the delegation, while the Con-
ventiou has presented his name to the Ma
tional Convention n the candidate of the
New York Democracy, and has instructed
the delegates TO vote and act unanimously
nj st. Louis MS the majority of the delega-
ton shall direct. The delegation will
obey these instructions. This will secure
10 Gov. TILDEN the seventy votes of New
York at every ballot until his nomination
is effected or his name is authoritatively
Withdrawn from the Convention.
While, therefore, there is III some re-
spects similarity between the situation Of
Gov. TILDEN in regard TO st. Louis and
that of senator CoNKLTNG in regard to Gin
cinnat, there is yet striking aud vital
difference between them. Senator CoNK-
LING will not receive the entire vote OF the
State at any time during the contest, but
Gov. TILDEN will be sustained by the sew
enty delegates of New York all through
the struggle.

Ross GRfNr's DEFICIT.
How he sse,ticd his Alleged Defalcntion In
the Tbird Auditors O1ice.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUS-Sir:
think l can give your correspondent york
vile" some definite information regarding the
Indebtedness to the Government Of Capt.
Grant, late of the Fourth Regiment Of Infantry"
at the time he left the United states army,
owing to circumstances over which he had no
control. The precise deficit apparent In Grants
accounts, as shown by the books of the Third
Auditors office, was s4.+il, aud tais deficiency
had existed for twenty three years at the tmo
that IL was brought to public notice in the latter
part Of ISL.
In that year an oid-fashionod clerk happened
to unearth the untiquIted charle against our
present Chief Magistrate, and this clerk. know
ing that Gen Grant had recently been ia the re-
ceipt OF many costly presents. besides having a
salary OF $4,000 per annum, with perqulsites,
naturally thought that the President, being In
funds, would be glad OF an opportunity TO
square accounts with his lIng-suifcring creditor,
Uncle Sam and 30 called the attention Of mis-
superlors to the item. II WAS at this time. l
think, that the shipwreck by which Capt. Grant
lost his vouchers was nrst heard OF. Tue story
in the Third Auditors oricc was, that during
the long interval OF twenty three years which
elapsed between the discovery OF the delcIt and
Its final settlement, Grant had never SAID ship
wreck once, but on the contrary, had main
tanned a most provoking silence, and an immov-
aolo inaispostlon to discuss the matter At ALL
Notwithstanding the numerous persistent and
pathetic appeals from tne Treasury Department
that were sent TO him from time to time.
1t Is but an act of justice to President Grant
To saw that, II my recollection OF the All air is
rect, soon u the fact Of tue old deneit stand
lug against him was made paoiic, he paid up
Ike "a little man, who tho oyer-oil ,ious clork
who had dug out the debt from the musty
records Of the rhrd Auditors oiiice was dis
CHARGED quick that It made his head swim.
