been me counsel for The second mort
gage dholderS in whose behalf such
suit was inst,tuted, md that he was
counsel also fof The tfusteeso Of said sec
ond mortgage bond holders, and had been
from some time in the year 1857,
to whom the railroads Of the
Terre Haute, Alton and st. Louis
Railroad Company were surrendered,
and who were subsequently made re-
ceivers thereof; and was also the counsel
Tor said receivers, and that he also acted
as the principal counsel for the said hrst
mortgage bondholders, in relation 10 the
foreclosure proceeding reinbefore men
toned, and other proceedings connected
Herewith, and that such services had
commenced prior to the year 1853, and
were rendered, from time to time, during
a period of upward of three years there
after"
Ii the Times in its enthusiasm bad
thus only begun few lines earlier IN
its reading o. the Terre Haute suit law
paper, from which it quotes, it would
not have coufounded a years receipts
with a years taxable income. Nor
would the Times then have suppressed
the fact that the payment ofthese S2ooeo
was OF account of professional services
rendered during long series OF years
prior to the first imposition of an income
tax, ard during part only of the first
year OF the existence of the income tax.
Did the learned proprietor ofthe Times
compute, IN his own payment OF income
tax for 1862, his earnings for the previous
years OF 1857, 1858, 1859, 1860, and
1862
The Times also implies that Mr.. Ill
DEN received during the year 1862, and
as part Of the income OF that year.
s33, 600 of bonds which he did not in
clude in his return. We say implies that.
1t assumes that. 1t discusses the subject
on that assumption, makes charges on
that assumption, though it shrinks from
making specific and definite statement
of what it assumes.
Now, on anslyzing the documents on
which 1t POUNDS its charges, we find that
the report of the company referred to in
the bill of complaint, and expressing the
opinion that surplus of bonds may exist
at some future time, which alleged sur
plus is now in controversy, was itself
dated in 1864. That is two years after
the income return which the Times i'm
peaches.
Not only that; in the report of the
committee of directors published in the
! Times the other day, August 18th, it is
specifically stated that the bonds in ques-
ton remained in the hands of Mr.. ROBERT
BAYARD up to March IA, 1870. That IS
eght gears after the period when por-
ton OF them ought to be accounted for
as income, on the assumption that they
were divided.
Nor does it appear that they ever were'
in fact, up to this time, actually disposed
of, or that they ever have been in situs-
ton to form part of anybody's income
The very documents which the Times
quotes and relies upon thus disposes of all
the specific charges of the Times, disposes
of everything that has the appearance OF
proof or the semblance ofprobsbillty.

Large Fire ~ the Centen nial-Great
Excitement At tue Atlas Otel.

Excitement AT tue Atlas Hotel.
A fire of considerable magnitude and
entaling large loss occurred Saturday
morning at an early hour within an en-
closure situated about an eighth of
mile from Machinery Hall, between the
Atlas Hotel and the Pennsylvania rail-
road, within which are stored, in sheds
built over them, all the packing boxes
in which goods for exhibition were trans
ported to the Centennial These boxes
were of all sizes and shapes, and were
built expressly for the purpose for which
| they were used, and were located here
until after the exhibition, when .hey
were to have been again brought into re-
QUESTION when the goods were to be re-
turned home after the exhibition closed.
As the flames rose to an unusual height
the fire was visible from great distance.
and the report was prevalent for some
time that the fire was raging in the Atlas
Hotel. In this immense Caravansary
everything and everybody was in the
most complete confusion. The hose had
been carried from Elm Avenue through
the corridors, the hose in possession of
the hotel company had been attached to
the plugs within the building and streams
Of water were running in every direction.
The guests were aroused from sleep and
we're in apanic, scarcely knowing whether
they were on hand for deluge or
whether the end of the world had come.
All rushed pell nell from their rooms in
night array, with their valusbles and
clothes under their arms. and for time
the vacant lot in front Of the hotel very
much resembled mammoth dressing es-
tablished, Int up as it was by the flames
as light AS MONDAY. There was no sleep
for the balance of the night, but at nine
o'clock this morning all partook of a sec
ond supper and retired TO bed TO sleep of
their fatigue and excitement.

APARTy of treasure-seekers have been
cruising about the Florida Keys in the
steamer Bill Keysen, looking after
chests of gold, silver and other precious
things, said to have been hid by Capts.
Kidd, Lafitte, Alorgan and other famous
pirates and buccaneers long ago. A
Cedar Keys correspondent writes on the

and that they landed a big iron chest,
which was guarded by a party of men
armed with pistols, swords and rifles.
That box is said to contain more than
half a million dollars in gold and silver.

Hunting q Thrush.

The st. Louis correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette grites: That omniv-
Orous class, the ncws-gatherers who re-
present the local and other journals
here during the Babcock trial, are having
a good deal of amusement here among
themselves over their common failure
in the search after a bit of information
possibly unimportant. When Deputy
Commissioner Rogers was testifying On
Thursday he mentioned u conversation
once held with Babeock in Washington,
when the latter said something about
sending Il bird to st. Louis. According
to the officials recollection the bird in
question was II thrush, and when the
thing was mentioned Il score or two
Of pencils in the courtroom made a
note. Here was an item which would
be at least cosby, probably of value.
That bird must be found if in St. Louis,
and the why and the wherefore of its
sending fully ascertained. Quietly,
each in his W way, the reporters went
about with the "little bird singing in
their heart" and inquiries were made
everywhere about a thrush. No thrush
was found, none heard, o has any
trace of the bird been discovered up to
date. Still, the thing is Il kind of COM
fort to the news-gatherer. Whenever
no other possible item bearing upon
the case appears, when every possible
lead for the day seems to have been
washed out by any of thepencil knights,
he puts in an hour or two on the thrush,
in the vague hope that his inquiries may
be at last successful. The prospect is
now considered doubtful, though, and
it is believed the bird never came, but
q few still hold firm in the faith. 1t is
said to be a fine thing to hear the New
York Herald man give his idea concern
ing the manner in which the investiga-
ton should be carried on.
