THAT $4,000 NATTER.


The Intelligencer OF yesterday. breaks
out into another spasmodic offer to say
something On the SSs, 900 matter. Exactly
what It . driving at We cannot see, but
but infer that its idea is that having gone;
into the proposed exclamation and got
its foot into il, rather than back out
squareiy, prefers to blow out as it blowed
in. We mean business now, and
intend keeping right down -to-the
track. We have selected gen.
tlemsn of capacity and integrity, and one
who has no personal interest in the re-
suit. The Iatelligencsr has selected an
expert who has deep personal interest in
it, and ordinarily would be regarded as
an incompetent judge, because. OF
his % direct personal interest. But
we have made no objection on that
ground and intend to make none, wishing
to give them every opportunity to make
fair showing on their side OF the
case. From the card of Mr.. L. l..
Bill, published in another column
the COLLAPSE in the beginning
of the in vestIgatlcn referred to by the
hteliigencer never occurred, and that
gentleman has never declined to go on
with the Investigation, but has all the
time been ready to meet the expert OF
our Fourteenth street neighbor, who
probably has been delayed in his work
| by some little deficits that are Of more
importance to him personally than those
existing in the State treasury. The
truth of the whole matter is that MIR. BILL
in communication of January LIST,
proved fully and conclusiyely, from data
furnished from the Treasurers and
Auditors offices, Shat in 1863 the
sum OF $4,000, which ought to have
been paid into the State treas
ury never reached its proper destination,
and with the Knowledge that Mr.. BILL
cannot be contradicted in this statement,
the Mtetiigencer has the extreme modesty
to ask US 10 name another man in Mr..
BILLS place. We decline until good
reason is shown that Mr.. BILL is not a
proper person to act in the matter, and
until then we urge that Mr.. HILDRETH
shall meet our expert and proceed to an
Investigation. If they cannot agree
there will be no trouble in selecting an
umpire. No more bluff and blast, but
work. is what we want, and we now
challenge the htelligencer, MIR. Hill
DRErH, or any one else to meet us in the
investigation-"We will be at Phillippi.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Charleston
Courier of the 18th, warmly recommends
Professor Spencer Ii. Patrick of Union
School, Charleston, for State Superin-
tendert of schools
Professor Patrick is IN the prime of
life, and is graduate of OHIO University
at Athens, though native OF West Vir-
ginia. That he has had much experience
as practical teacher, and is conceded to
profess much administrative ability. He
is nephew of Dr. Patrick of Kanawha,
and a good Democrat, served through
the war as Confederate soldier. We
have no doubt that his claims in common
with those of q number of other gentle
men prominently mentioned in this con-
nection will be duly considered by the
nominating convention.

JUDGE PORTER tn his argument in de-
Tense OF BADCoCK, dwelt with great force
upon the fact that the expense of. the
trIal would be ruinous financially to his
client. That is hardly any reason why
the jury should acquit him, though it will
be hard upon the poor fellow to lose all
his money and then. be shut up in the
penitentiary until Democratic Presi-
don't is elected, and so beprevented from
recuperating his fallen fortunes. But
the judge need not be alarmed. GRANT
will pardon him. The young man will
have another chance.

CREMATING THE QUEER.
An ntrn.c Amount to he Destroyed M

On the 9th of November the secretary
of the treasury appointed Il commission
to make a complete schedule Of and
totally destroy all the counterfeit
bonds, notes, fractional currency, coin
plates. roll dies and apparatus designed
to be u,ed in cOunterteiting the legal
money of the United States which have
been captured during period of about
seven wears. The commission have since
been engaged in drawing up for future
reference in the secret service division a
complete schedule Of the acCumulatiOn-
of the periods named. There are three
hundred engraved plates, covering all
denominations up to one hundred dol
lars many Ot which, on comparison with
genuine work, are quite equal to any
engraved plates made by authority OF
the government. There are also about
thirty rolls or dies for duplicating in
definitely any OF the plates mentioned,
a. well as numerous die monlds for
hopns coin. The counterfeit notes and
currency which have accumulated with
in the period named are of all denomlna
tions, from the smallest fractional cur
rencv to notes Of five hundred dollar,
and a ood many OF these notes are such
faithful limitations OF the genuine note
issred by authority OF law that expert
have been deceived by them aud the
most careful Wall street tellers have beer
victimized, showing how extensive and
artistic this particular branch Oi crime
has been brought within the brief time
since the issue OF currency by the d"
ermuent was commenced. The total
amaun, of spurious currency captured j,
5000 600; and in grId, silver and nickel
limitations, $9O,OOO. The whole mas
will in few days undergo a cremating
process, which will quickly reduce it 10

a grave responsibility by placing it ht-
