THE FALL RIVER DEFALCATION.

FALL RIVER. Mass, August 20. 1879.
The directors Of the American Linen Company
made q statement this morning concerning the nj.
legged defalcation Of Walter Paino. They state that
authority given to Paine to purchase the
mills account. and it not until the 2Gth of
July that his dishonest acts made known to
them. appears that from 1860 the present time
he has been indebted to tho mill in varying
from to $4,000 and of this the directors
entirely ignorant. For this their only excuse is
that Paine In his statements included all his accounts
in the item Of accounts receivable. The total loss
to the corporation by Paines acts is s159.45s %.
CONFESSION.
Paincs confession was handed in by q of his
during meeting of the Board of Directors. and
1865, no dividends were made. Your treasurer held
twenty three shares of stock. upon the income from
which, and upon the small salary OF $500. lac was
dependent for supporting himself and family at
time when the cost of living was double what 1t is
to-day. and he drew and charged to himself on an
open book account more than his salary, hoping on
the payment of dividends. to be able to refund the
amount. This amount Increased year by year, until
in 1872 1t had reached S3i.65S ~ after which,
the amount reduced to $l0377 10 on January |,
1916 1t has since been increased to between $4,000
and 3d. 900" Add to this Painc's personal loss
futures nearly SOL, 0OO the money Tor which came
from the mill. aud Paines present personal indebt
edness to the mill amounts to over $4,000.
1t is stated here that Paine has gone to Cuba and
there Is good authority for this statement.
George b. Durtee arraigned in the District
Court this morning. the warrant charging him with
pearcd Tor Durfce. who waived tho reading of the
com plant and entered plea OF mot guilty"
Reed stated that the complaint was brought by
District Attorney knowlton, without the knowledge
tnued until Monday next, bail being fixed at
$4,000. which 1t is thought Durfee can obtain.

bers Of Congress- and that the United States within
the sacred limits OF sovereign State. Is to be re-
garded either guest or an intruder
Now there is function more essential to the
safety and usefulness of this general government
than the regulation of the election OF its legislators
This power would belong to 1t AS truly
aud naturally as the regulation of the mails
and the revenue agencies. If there no express
provision to that effect in the constitution. But
there is express power given by the constitution to
Congress "by law to make alter regulations as to
"the times places and manner of holding elections
for Representatives" in Congress. Hence. those
election laws winch the democratic State rights
party trying to repeal-laws which Congress had
the right to pass they have to pass laws for
the assessment and collection OF taxes on whiskey
in whatever sovereign State it may be. Whoever by
force violates the rights of citizens under these laws
breaks the peace of the United States clearly as
the robber breaks the of the State 1t there
fore great mistake and u confusion OF ideas
when the State rights champions proclaim that
the States only have authority to keep tho peace.
The United States government is AS sovereign as
any government on earth. 1t is ut home in every
State and Territory and every foot OF ground be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific Its laws. made in
pursuance OF the constitution, supreme. and the
President is clothed with the power and is charged
with the duty to enforce their execution.
