Women in the Treasury.

The detection of another thief in the
cash-room of the treasury affords me the
opportunity of calling attention to the
superiority of women over men in resist
ing temptation. Since the first green
back was printed the counting and put
ting-up of packages Of money have de-
volved entirely upon girls and matrons.
There are few in Office now who have
been there from the beginning, and bill
ions of dollars have passed through their
hands without the fraction of a dollar
sticking. Have they been rewarded
No! Numbers of men like Winslow, the
last thief caught, have been appointed by
political influence at salaries double
those paid women; and these experienced,
tried and trusted women, who cannot be
well dispensed with, are not only never
promoted, but are treated as though they
should be thankful that they are permit
ted to serve the Government for $75 per
month. Sometimes package that has
been counted by woman has been found
short in the amount, and, no matter how
innocent the counter may be, that amount
missing is taken from her months sal
airy. In almost every instance of this
kind eventually the thief has been found
to be male messenger, or some man
who received the package from the lady,
and abstracted one or two notes. Wash

A Fathers Double Crime.

A dispatch from Dundas, Canada, con-
tains the announcement that a Miss
Cook, who had been shot by her father,
was dead. William Cook was a passion
ate man, and, when excited, used threat
ening language to his family. On Sun
day evening he threatened that he would
get square with them. In the morning
he got his gun and inquired for lead,
saying he was going to shoot the
pigeons in the yard. There was no lead
to be found, SO that he must have used
some other material. His daughter,
aged "a, was in her bedroom, the win
dow of which was open. She saw her
father approach this window with the
gun, and, on his raising the weapon to
his shoulder, she attempted to escape,
but only got a few feet away when she
was shot in the upper part of the body,
and fell behind the door. In few min
utes second shot was heard from the
barn. There lay the father with his
head almost completely blown away, his
brains being spattered over the sides of
the house, and even on the fence near
the door. His death was instantaneous
It is supposed he had placed the mrlzzle
of the gun below his ear. Cook was a
widower. Cooks is the third case of
suicid on the same farm, the other two
casese having been young men.-NeaO

Prison Management.

The State prisons of New York are
said to be buried in financial troubles,
the report of the Comptroller of that
State putting the prison deficiency of
last year at over $500, 1000, nearly twice
that Of 1876, and $4,000 over that of
1875. The steady increase of losses for
the past few years does no keep
pace merely with the increase in the
number of convicts, but it is due to the
improvidence and wrong policy of the
State prison administration. The New
York Journal of Commerce thinks that
this year some improvement may be
looked for, a commission having been at
work all last summer investigating the
prisons and preparing recommendations
of fundamental changes in the law,
which will be submitted to the Legisla-
ture It is understood that the commits
sion will advise thorough reform in the
wretched labor system on which the New
York prisons are now run at so large a
loss to that State. The opinion is ex-
pressed that if laws should be passed for
utilizing to the utmost extent the work
ing power of the prisoners the prisons
could be made self-supporting instead of
being an onerous burden on the people,
while at the same time the industry which
would make the prison pay would insure
the better health and content of the con-
victs, and qualify them to earn their liv-
ing after they have been discharged.
There is no doubt that this is the best
policy, both for State and it's convicts.

Russian Finances.

The financial condition of Russia is
hardly of a character that would induce
nation to engage in an aggressive war
in behalf of other states The fact is,
Russia is not only heavily in debt, but is
subject to heavy annual payment of
interest, and is cursed with an immense
volume of deprecated paper, and has
lost credit. Like most European states
of the old style, the regulation of ex-
penditure by income has never been at
tempted until within few years, when
necessity and improved craftsmanship
have changed the annual deficit into an
annual surplus. 1t has only been since
1873 that Russia has had q surplus IN
her yearly accounts. The average deficit
for the forty preceding years was about
SIS, 10000 annually, which deficit was
made good by loans, and the loans were
added to the debt. The revenues from
tariffs for 1874 we're about $38, 900, 900,
and the excise from spirits, salt, beer
and tobacco amounts to over $135, 900, 000
There are other sources of revenue, and
the receipts for 1874 aggregated about
1886, 100000.
The bonded debt of Russia is about
5000, 600, 600, but there is a large addi-
tional debt contracted to build railroads.
About $4,000 miles of railway have been
constructed, and the Government has
incurred debt therefor equal to about
$500, 000,0 900. The interest bearing debt
is therefore about 81, 100, 100000. These
loans have been made at discount and,

Comparative statistics of mortality in
Great Britain show that during the last
ten years the death-rate has decreased
from that of the previous ten years in
scarlet fever, diphtheria, the low fevers,
whooping-cough, measles, Group, cry
sipelas and influenza, but that the
death-rate of smallpox has increased
over IS per cent. The number of deaths
from smallpox in the years 1854 $50 were
35,515, and in the years 1868 Is they
were 70, 458, and this increase has been
in the face Of very general system Of
vaccination regulated by laws Of Parlia-
ment. It is a fact which ought to at
tract the attention of the physicians of
this country before we have occasion to
note a similar increase on this side of the
water.

Arrival in New York of Tejada and His
Comrades as Refugees-Mexican Poll
From the New York Sun. ]

tcruu the new YORK sun.
Three gentlemen, wearing white straw
hats and light and airy garments, aGght-
ed from carriage and entered the Wind
sor Hotel yesterday morning They were
the Hon: S. Lerdo de Teiada, ex-Presi-
dent of Mexico; Gen. Mariana Escobedo.
and Manuel Romero Rubio; all refugees
from the land of revolutions.
President Tejada is by no means war
like or revolutionary Individual in APP
pearance. He is below the medium
height, apparently about so years of age,
has no hair on his face, and very little
on his head. The thin locks are brushed
from the side of his head across the top.
His manner is exceedingly quiet and
bland. He bears striking resemblance
to Gov. Tilden.
Before selecting their quarters in the
Windsor they examined nearly every
room in the house, and were very hard
to please. The President has fear of
fire, and objected to going higher than
the third story on that account. After
their identity became known they re-
ceived a great deal of attention from the
other guests Of the hotel, and likewise
from the attendants. AS no one of the
party can speak anything but Spanish,
the conversation with those outside the
party was limited, and through Cuban
waiter connected with the hotel.
Each of the refugees is a sort of trav-
cling arsenal. The hall boy on this
point remarked: "Them Mexican fellers
all carries big pops. I seed UNI stick
away out as they went through the hall,
and one Of UNI had sword"
President Teiada says that Mexico is
in terrible condition. Business is dead,
and the people are being plundered by
the respective leaders. Every revolu-
ZIONIST borrows money to conduct opera
tons with, and plumbers to repay. I'm
der his peaceful term the revenues of the
country amounted to over $4,000, 900,
and, economically and honestly governed,
Mexico could uphold it's credit at home
and abroad. He says, also, that Diaz
has full power now in Mexico, there be-
ing no organized army to oppose him.
He is of the opinion, however, that Diazs
reign will be short. The Church party,
which is daily growing in power, is OPP
posed to him; Cortina, now on the Texas
frontier, opposes him; and there is
strong element against him throughout
the country that only needs opportunity
to develop
In answer to question as to whether
he intends to remain long in this coun-
try, Tejada said that he had no definite
plan. He declined to say anything in
regard to any movements contemplated
to obtain the recognition of his Govern
ment again.

Popularity.

The popularity of Messrs. James S. Kirk &
Co.'S soaps. manufactured in Chicago, is
shown by the unprecedented sale which their
goods have reached during the year 1876. This
by far is the largest soap manufacturing con-
Germ in the United States, producing and selling
in all parts of this country, from the Red River
of the North to New Orleans, and from Port
land, Me-, to San Francisco, 25,0O00OO pounds
annually No so-called greases enter into these
soaps. Only pure refined tallow and vegetable
oils are used, containing no adulteration. Fair
and square weights always reliable. This is
why their soaps are so popular with all good and
economical housekeepers.

An Unlucky Bite.

A man in Cheyenne, a few days ago,
went into store to buy barrel Of ap-
pies. He bit into an apple, concluded
to take barrel of twenty-ounce pip
pins, went away, and, after being absent
an hour or SO, came back and asked to
see the apple he had bitten into. On
being asked why he wanted that particu-
lar one, he said that he had lost his false
teeth somewhere, and he rather thought
he had left them sticking in that apple.
His surmise tlrned out to be true. Sad

The Suspended San Francisco Bank.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.-Warrants have
been issued for the arrest of j. =. Duncan,
manager of the Pioneer Bank, which suspend
ed yesterday, with liabilities of So, 100000 The
principal ockholder is the Safe Deposit Co.,
and Benz. G. Lewarne, secretary of the Deposit
Company, is charged with an over-issue OF
stock of the Deposit Company. The amount
of over issue Is not yet ascertained, but is
known to be large. The over-issue was manip-
ulated by Lewarne while Duncan hypothecat-
ed the stock. Deposits in the vault of the COM
pany are all right Neither Duncan nor Lee
warne has been seen since Saturday.
A committee of stockholders today COM
menced an investigation into the affairs of the
bank The cashier who assisted stated that
Duncan was practically the sole stakeholder.
1t is believed that very little will be left for de-
positors as the real estate included in the assets
is heavily mortgaged, and the stock of the Safe
Deposit Co. which constituted the balance Of
the assets, has been hypothecated by Duncan
T. J. White has been appointed receiver of
the bank. The examination of certificates of
the stock of the Safe Deposit Co. handed in by
the holders shows that an over-issue of about
1000 shares has been made, on which Duncan
has realized in the neighborhood of 100000.
The belief ls that most OF this has been sWal-
lowed up in the floating bank and that Dun
can has taken comparatively small amount
with him in his flight.
w. T. Dunn of the Pacific stock Exchange
and son of the abscOnding banker, denies that
the bank has been effected by his stock opera
tions and attributes the failure to unsuccessful
real estate speculations.
The police have Lot yet succeeded in finding
any trace of either Duncan or Lewarne.
1t has become evident that Duncan has with
in the past week premeditated flight and made
due preparation for it. Cappers have been en-
poyed by him to induce deposits of funds, in
which thew have been successful to considerable
extent. Every effort has been made to hinder
the withdrawal OF deposits. 1t seems to have
been strictly family concern.
Thomas Gray, father of Duncan, was the
fieurehead President, knowing nothing of the
affairs of the bank. Lawrence, the secretary,
is Duncan's son-in law, and j. NJ Smebbery,
a trustee, bears the same relation. The whole
affair eyinces the most reckless management
and fragrant dishonesty in the conduct of the

COLUMBUS, Oct. o. The day has been pleas
ant throughout fhe state, which is usually con-
sidered favorable to the Republicans, but the
fair weather is offset by apathy and the with
drawal of Republican votes to the Working
men and GreeDback tickets. The returns are
coming in slowly and indicate Democratic
gains. In the compilation of the vote no &C.
count is taken of the Greenback or Working
mems vote, although the latter is said to have
polled heavy vote in Hamilton county. Com
parsons as to the Democratic or Republican
gains will be made with the vote for Secretary
of State in October, 1876. The election passed

COLUMBUS, Oct. 10.-1 A. M.-The Demo-

by from 10000 to %, 900 majority, and also a
majority iu both branches of the General As
sembly. The Republican committee concede
the election of Bishop by over 10000, but are in
doubt about the Assembly.
There is no basis for computing the number
of votes cast by the two wo.kingmen's parties,
but it is supposed there will be considerable as
it is claimed that they cast 10, 900 votes in HAM
iltOn county alone. The Democratic grains
come largely from Republican strongholds on
the western reserve. In one township near

in theii vote was caused by the Republicans
who abstained from voting to show their dis
satisfaction with the Presidents South ern
