Book KEEPING.-Th recent debate in
the Senate points concIusively to ono OF
two propositions, either that the Clerks
in the office of the Treasury Department
at Washington are poor book keepers, or
else they have made willingly false en-
tries, and with the deliberate intent to
deceive and cover up gross frauds. Bout
well has endeavored to explain the fig
ures, but has utterly failed to do so. He
will be called upon by the people for a
further explanation, and it is likely the
discrepancies in the Treasury accounts
will constitute one of the chief topics Of
discussion in the next presidential race.
As it is, they loom up with gigantic pro-
portions, like the whisky ring frauds,
and promise 10 cOnsigu to eternal infamy
another batch of Radical WORTHLESS. SEN
ator Davis is entitled TO great credit for
his effort TO uuearth these populations.
and has set an example fit TO be followed
by other Senators. Trades upon purely
political topics ought to cease, and the
'bloody shirt" ought at once to be re-
moved from the public arena, and Blaine
himself may even be choked into silence
b. the ringing cries of retrenchment and
reform, that will come up from the peo-
pie in the near future.
