THE ALLEGED TREASURY nrscRrp,Ncrrs

The ALLEGED TREASURY DISCREPANCIES
telegram fIom indianapolis, 10th inst, to
the Cincinnati Gazette says that the Washing
ton dispatches stating that Glover has discOV-
cred discrepancy of Slg,0N,U0O in the Ma
tional Treasury, covered 10y the issue OF trust
certificates, and that eX-Secretary McCullOch
and eX-TTeaSurer Spinner were to be called to
explain ii, led To an interview between NelrS
reporter and Hon. John &. New the successor
OF MI Spinner, i'm the course of which Mr.
New said the discrepancy was news TO him it
had not existed while he was in charge of the
Government money, and he did n Ot see how il
could have been carried over from Spinner's
time without his knowing something about il.
Ii is said further: The only certificates that
are issued are those given by Sub-treaSurieS TO
special depOsitOTs who want legal tenders, and
il any discrepancy in the accounts did exist il
would be like that between the reports of an
auditor and treasurer OF a county, represent
ing orders outstanding and not redeemed.
When Mr.. New went into Office he found a
debt against the Treasurer of $4,000. .uOl which
was distributed among the States in 1884 under
Jackson 5 administration, To be repaid on de-
mand. There was a sort of vague tradition
among the accountants that that money would
be demanded Of the States some day and paid
in, hence IL was carried along as debtor bal
ance. MI New had no doubts about the pay
ing back, so he instructed the book keepers TO
drop II and take up only the actual balances
on hand; these he would undertake ~ carry,

self Sacrificing,

Immediately following the capture
Of the City Of Mexico by the Ameri
cans under General Scott, the Mexicaus
commenced numbering the officers aud
soldiers by shooting them from the
house tops as they passed alang the
streets.
To put stop to this barbarous
custom, General Scott issued orders'to
euter and sack all houses from which
these shots were fired a day or two
after this order, an officer passing
along the streets, saw son OF the
green isle" very deliberately walking
up and down in front of some houses
apparently amusing himself by examin-
ing the architecture of the MexlcaDs.
When the officer approached, the fol-
loving dialogue took place:
