The government has instituted suit
against John Macarthur, late postmaster
Of Chicago, and his bondsmen for $780,
600, the sum in which his accounts show
him to be short. The bondsmen Set up
an answer which alleges that the govern
ment was cognizant Of and approved the
deposit by Macarthur Of funds In banks.
and that the sureties are not, therefore,
liable for the amount lost by the failure
Of any bank In which funds were de-
posted; also that the postmaster general
knew three years ago that Macarthur
was taking funds from the department
for his private business. and knew that
he was then practically defaulter, and
that he having failed to begin suit then
they cannot be held liable for the post
master.general's neglect Of duty.

trade Of the United States with foreign

the following interesting statistics:
The commerce of the United States
with Brazil is yearly becoming more i'm.

country into the United States were S43, :
49S, O4l, and the exports thilher S7,49S,-

more rapid the means of intercourse be-
tween the two countries the more eXten>
sive will be their commercial relations.
Lines of steamers will give us a large
part OF The trade that now goes to Eng.
land. Some OF the produce and ma.lu-
features Of Brazil now lind their way
here by British steamers, via England.
Where dispatch Is necessary steamers gu.
persede sailing vessels. This is the case in
the British trade with Turkey, twO.thirds
OF which Is now carried on by large
mercantile steamers. When in the United
states the emperor OF Brazil frequently
expressed his desire for more direct
traffic on our part with his country. His
government cordially co>Operated in the
centennial that a better idea might be
given OF Brazilian resources.
