THE GREAT QUESTION.

Mrs. Hayes has been comforted for the
.rudeness Of her temperance association by
the coincidence of the regular temperance
societies of Washington. One OF them
declares, in a solemn preamble, that the re-
marks attributed TO Mrs. Hayes, as Impugn-
ing her good works, temperance example,
and influence, are false, and that her say
ings are liberal. just, and charitable, and
among the most admirable extent; that
her life and sentiments show her to be a
true Christian woman, with frmness
enough 10 set an example no American
lady has before SET in her position-refus-
ing wine 10 the Grand Dukes Alexis and
Constantine and at all state dinners, and at
the recent banquet in Philadelphia set the
same example to every family of position,
which, if carried out, would close the dis
tilleries and saloons and the jails, asylums
and workhouses OF the country.

The decrease of debt thus far since June 80,
1877, has been SIS, $3.50. More than half of
the entire reduction has been in legal-tenders
redeemed; the amount outstanding is now
about SIS, 900 900 less than it was at this time
last year-Scr York Tribune.
If this 100000, applied to the redemp-
ton and destruction of the peoples money,
had been used in redeeming six per cent.
bonds, it would have saved the public nearly
a million year on interest account. Used
for the destruction of greenbacks it saves
not one cent; more than that, ii takes out
OF circulation fifteen millions of the very
money that the people want, and forces
them to take in its place national bank
notes, which they do not want, and upon
which they are forced to pay interest. The
most charitable view that can be taken Of
this policy is that II is mistake.

GENERAL NEWS.
THE WHEEL OF JUSTICE.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and the Secre-
taEy of the Treasury Respond To n
Recent Resolution of the House
Asking for Information Concern
Ing W. Il. whitaker, a Former De.
faulting Revenue Ohicer at New Or
leans.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 6-Tbe Presi-
dent sent to the Senate, to-day, a communi-
cation from the Attorney General and the
Secretary Of the Treasury in response to
Mr. Howe's resolution of April 10th, CALI
ing for information in regard to the iabii-
ties of W. X. Whitaker arising under his
administration of the office Of L. S. assist
ant treasurer and collector of internal reve-
nue. at New Orleans, and as to the measures
taken by the Government to enforce them.
Secretary Sherman states that a suit f0r
Sll.l32 is pending against Whitaker on his
account as collector of internal revenue
from December, 1868, to April, 1865.
WHILE WHITAKER WAS IN OFFICE As
assistant treasurer OF New Orleans between
October 18th, 1866, and May 10th, 1867, a
deficit of SI.O76,197 occurred, which was,
subsequently, reduced to S6S0,S9l The
deficit, according to Whitaker's statement,
arose from his acceptions from his prede-
cessor, Assistant Treasurer Way, OF about
100000 of certificates of the First Ma
tional Bank OF New Orleans, and counting
them as cash in hand besides which he
had afterwards received number OF certi-
fed checks of Mr.. Way, then president OF
the bank, and converted them into sundry
notes and bills OF exchange, which were
COUNTED As CASH
at the time the deficit was discovered. Suit
for the recovery of the deficit was COM
menced in the United States Circuit Court
in 1863, and in 1872 a judgment was given
in favor of the defendant. The special
counsel employed by the Government re-
ported that the jury probably based their
finding Of facts upon the act Of the settle
ment between the late Assistant Treasurer
Way, and the United States, whereby the
debt due the Government was discharged by
the assignment of all of Mr.. Ways proper
ty. There was, he alleged, an error in the
verdict and no bill Of exceptions was asked
for. He also states that all OF the defend
ants were insolvent. Mr.. Way was bonds
man for Whitaker.
ATToRNEY-GENERAL DLvENs
reports that the criminal indictments
against Whitaker were three in number
the first charge being an ENLIGHTENMENT OF
81 ,05S, 400, and when tried resulted in
Whitakers acquittal. Special L. 5. At
torney Grant wrote the Attorney General
| in April, 1877, stating that the remaining
indictments were for the same offence, and,
in his (Grant's) opinion, it was not proper
to try them, and asked authority to dis
miss them. Attorney General Devens d.

Is RESUMPTION ACCoMPLIxHED ,

The St. Louis Republican, few days ago,
in referring to the proposed repeal OF the
resumption act said, editorially: Re
sumption is practical fact-anybody can
get silver for greenbacks' at the sub-Treas-
uro, and the new dollars are just as good
as gold" Commenting upon this state
ment, the Times of the 9th states the truth
OF the matter as follows:
That the new dollars are just as good az
gold cannot be controyerted, since they have
all the power and can perform all the funct-
IONS Of gold. But If resumption is q practical
fact, is it not the acme of folly to keep on the
statute books Of the nation a law which com.
pels that to be done eight months hence
vhich is accomplished to-day: We are Lit.
