What Party Has Done Most Stealing I?
Facts for the PeopIe-Net Proportional
Loss under all IAdminisiraiIons-A Re
markable Showing.

An official treasury statement has just been
printed in reply to call from the Senate,
whereof the salient points are printed in let
ter to the Toledo Blade, showing the losses by
defauting officers, thefts. Frauds etc. which
the government has sustained during the past
forty years. The tables are made of two
parts-first the "net loss," which covers only
the action of officers and agents; second the
gross loss, ," which embraces the double hand.

If we remember the facts connected

IF we remember the facts connected with
the conviction of ex-Clerk Avery of the
Treasury Department for connection with
the whiskey ring, there was nothing in them
affording any ground for his pardon. He is
respectfully connected, has a devoted wife
and all that, but if pardons are granted on
such grounds, jails will be relieved of, and So
ciety again troubled with, a large number ol
first class scoundrels.

of the witnesses say i'll balf hour the whites would
open fire on the militia. The militia refused to de-
b1 eT up their arms saying that the demand t was was
reason to fear for their lives if they gave up their
arms. a brisk fire a1as then opened by the achites

piece or artillery was thereupon brought across the
bridge from Augusta, loaded with canister, and fired
several times at the building This had the effect to
cause the militia to endeavor to make their escape
from the rear OF the building The town marshal of
Ham6urg-a colored man-who was leaving the
building, was instantly shot by the attacking party.
While thus endeavorDg to escape from the building,
twenty or twenty-five of the militia were captured
by the attacking party and kept under guard for
eral hours. Finally, about two O'Clock ON the morn
ing of the 9th of July-Sunday-aft consultation
among their captors, and with complete apparent de-
liberation, five of the captured militiamen were
marched out, one by one, and shot to death in the
OF the captured party were either turned loose or
broke loose and ran. They were fired upon as they
ran, and three OF them severely wounded-one of
them mortally.
According to the argus, two or three hun
dred armed men who surround building in
which there were thirty or forty men and
open brisk fire upon it, did not have any
tendency to give ''bloody turn" to the af-
fair. These three hundred chivairous friends
OF the Argus would doubtless have remained
there until this time, keeping up brisk fire
upon the building for the fun of the thing |!
The difficulty arose because the handful of
beleaguered men returned the fire and an as
sailant in his zeal exposed himself to the fire
OF the negroes and was shot! No negro
would have been murdered but for that acci-
dent to the white assailant. The members
of the negro militia are wholly responsible
for their own massacre. Indeed, their de-
cease may be looked upon as sort of suicide.
The argus apology for the bloody deeds of
its friends at Hamburg is open to criticism
and is at war with all the facts in the case,
but our neighbor must have the happy con-
sciousness that he did his level best under
very embarrassing circumstances.

ing to all the stock denunciations of the ad-
ministration. The net proportional loss of the
good old times" when the Democratic party
was in power, was from eight to twenty times
as much as during Grants administration.
The net loss of the last Democratic admins.
tration, inaugurated twenty years ago, was
u. The next administration was Repub-
lican, and the loss was reduced to SO 07-a clear
reduction of $64 on every thousand The
loss in Grants first term was 81 80, less than
that OF Lincoln's or of Johnson's. The loss
during the second term was 81 .01, the lowest
on record, The 'gross loss'' has fallen off
equally with the net loss, it being during
Grants second term only twenty-six cents on
the thousand, which is only about one-eight-
ieth of the total in Van Buren's time, and
about one-thirtieth of that in Buchanan's

Building on the Sand.


IT'S well to WOO, tits wen TO wed,
For 50 the world hath done
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair,
Be sure you pledge in truth;
Be certain that your love viii wear
Beyond the days of youth
For If you give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
Yon1l nnd you've played the unwise part,
And ssbnilt upon the sand"
'Tis wen 10 save, 'tis ~elI to have
A goodly store OF gold,
And hold enough Of shining Btuf,
orcharity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmizsd with purer things,
And be who piles mp wealth alone,
VIII often have to stand
Besides the Golfer chest, and own
'Tis ''built upon he sand"
'Tis good to speak I'm friendly guise,
And soothe where'cr we can;
Rair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs aa wei.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fan 10 do,
But 'sbniId upon the Hand."

on the left side sometimes the pain
is felt under the Shoulder-blade, and

the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally aconsiderable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with pain

something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains Of wearineSs and debility;
he IS easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-

summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
