Some months ago, it will be remembered,
Senator Davis, Of West Virginia, offered .
resoi ltion calling on the Secretary of the
Treasury for q list of defaulters to the gov
eminent from 1860 to 1876, with the
amount of their defalcations. The pur-
pose of the resolution was to furnish
Q little campaign thunder for the Demo
Gratis. Senator Sherman moved to amend
the resolution 70 as to have q list of defal-
cations from 1886 to the present time, and
it Was adopted. The report just published
commences with the administration of
President jackson, and shows, among
other thinge, that tho defalcations under
the present administration have been
less than those under any other Pres
ident. The Losses to the government under
Van Buren, were by far the largest, being
more than double those Of any other admin
istration. The losses on every $1,000 of dis
bursements were in the administration of
jackson, $40 IS; Van Buren,, 4el Is; Har-
rison, $40 81; Polk, IS 81; Taylor and Fill
more, 1854; Pierce, IS sc; Buchanan, nearly
S. SO; Lincoln, 81 Al: johnson, forty-eight
cents; Grant, the first four years, forty cents;
the second four years, twenty-six cents.
This is exclusive of the postofice, which
administers its own revenue. In the post
Office the loss has gone down from I'll Is
on the $1,000 in Jackson's administration,
and &26 10 in Van Buren's to el.56 for the
first term of Grant, and 81 Oh for the GEO.
ond, with an average Of So for tho whole

As far a. can be learned the Adams Ex'

United States Express Company about

tho fact that the train had four days ex-

The express Oflioers, however, deny this,
and say that during the break IN the M9

usbles had been brought from that State
by another route. The railroad company
has started the sheriff of Petite county with
Q posse in pursuit. General Bacon Mont.
gomery, Of Sedalis, noted fighter OF
guerillas during the war, has also gone in
pursuit with party Of picked men, and
has struck their trail como ten miles south
of Otterville. Another party will be sent
from Clinton, on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad, and still another from Le-
bannon, ON the Atlantic and Pacific road.
The entire country between the points
named will be thoroughly secured, and
from the well known characters of the men
sent out there 10 good prospect at least that
some of the m;screauts will be captured.
The robbers were all masked and none of

She Cane from q Tricky Famisya

The other day Michigan grocer pur.
chased = thirty pound crock Of . farmer
whom he had never dealt with before, and
while down cellar emptying the crock, he
thought of trick. to surprise the agricul-
turist. Finding . stone weighing about
eight pounds, the grocer CREASED it, carried
it up stairs with the crock, and, pointing to
it, quietly remarked: -
"fhis, of course, is to be taken from the
gross weight, as well as the jar"
The farmer looked at the stone for sew
eral long seconds, and then in voice 80
low that no one else could hear, replied:
"Please kiver Q piece of paper over the
jar, tor there's man out by the door who
knows me-"
The grocer finally explained his fendish
plot, and the butter sellers face underwent
q sudden change. Reaching over the sugar
barrels to ehake hands, he said:
II didn't hardly belive it, though my
wife came from q tricky family, and I
should have gone homo and organized
mourning and lamentation in that farm
house.,
