whole period OF their possession they
appropriated the interest on the public

and the expenses OF primaries and gen.

An Interesting Story.

unw soHE MYSTERIOUS TREASURY EoSps
TorNp TnTR WAY To SEw roHE.
Among the plundor stolen from the
Manhattan bank. Of New York, in that
noted robbery, was package contain.
ing 10000 OF L. ;. coupon bonds.
The numbers Of al the bonds were at
once advertised aud sent To every bank
in the world, and this, 1t was believed
would ciiectually prevent their being
negotiated or used to any profit by the
robbers. IL turns out that the skill Of
the robbers in making bonds negotiable
was undcrrAicd, and that they have long
ago disposed OF the $4,000 IN United
States bonds and poCkciod the profit
On the 26th inst, It was discovered in
the Treasury department, that there
were duplicate numbers 81 two bond-
OF Sl,UD0. each Of the issue OF l-Gi.
which had been redeemed. On the 2g;h
ult., it was nsccriaincd that three 500
bonds Of 1868 were duplicated in mum
bcrs and all these duplicate, Of both
denominations Of boud-, were sent TO
the bureau Of engraving and printing
for examination. The cngIaNcr, dl-.
covered that the numbers of the bonds
and col4pons had been changed. and the
work was done 90 skilliully and neatly
that it had escaped attention. one
$1,000 bond numbered 1850. had
been changed TO number I7s.OjO. A
portion oI the figure six, whenever the
number occurred on bond aud coupon
had been removed and apparently by a
neat delicate touch Of the brush the
color and tone of the paper restored.
Then the o was rounded out in the same
delicate and Workmanlike manner. This
bond was then ready for the market bc.
cause the number it bore was not
among the list advertised by the bank.
In the same way the other 100 bonds
had been changed from number 20S.
llg TO 209. 4lg, and the numbers Of the
three $500 bonds were altered a. follows /:
91,g2S to 97.S2S 20s, ,7IG to 20S, ,74S and
1874, ,j97 TO 1867.
The experts in the printing bureau
say the work in changing fhe numbers
OF the three bonds required the highest
degree of skill that Is attained in the
engravcr's art, and il was so well done
that the fraud was only detected be.
cause Of the duplicate numbers.

Tfom ,hs elnpcrau, Cali
The platform adopted by the Demo.
cratic State Convention seems TO have
stirred up the bile Of the Republican
editors considerably. With one accord
they denouncc it, being unable TO criti.
cI1e II IN a spirit OF fairness. The plat.
form makes the issue in regard TO a
consolidated government which the Re.
publican Leaders have profcssed TO court.
and still they are not happy. Now that
they are openly challenged 10 defend
the course oi their party ia Congrcs on
the subject Of federal interference in
State elections they strive to eyade the
issue by denying that there is any in.
tcntiou Ola the part Of their administra.
ton TO use the army at the polls. Even
II this were true ii does not cover the
whole ground, because the Democratic
platform also attacks the practice Of the
kcpublican politicians OF using federal
marsha.s paid out oi the United States
treasury TO influence elections. The
Republican -uruals will not attempt 10
deny that thousands Of naturalizcd c!ii.
z"us have been dIsirAnchlSed by intimi
daton and lAwlcks force exercised bv
partisan deputy marshAls. nor will they
have the eilrouteTy to dispute the fact
that the fraudulent President vetoed
the executive appropriation bill solely
because II did not make provision for
the payment Of political deputy mar.
shals and because 1t forbade the expen.
diiurc Of the public money except upon
appropriation made according to law.
The power to appoint marshsls for the
purpose Of supervising and regulating
elections is bA ID upon the assumption
that the federal government may sus.
tain the mArshals in the performance of
their work with al the force at its com.
mand, and that Of course means the use
OF the army at the polls. Hence the
Republican editors will end il rather
difficult to eyade The issue presented by
the Democrats. Indeed they might as
well make up their minds 10 except and
meet 1t like men. They will not be
permitted to dodge a question OF such
prominence before the country.

On the whole the Congressional in

tedious entertainment, but in one re.
spcct 1t is not improbable. The com.
mittee has succeeded without any spe.
ciAl effort in showing that in Cincinnati,
as in Philadelphia and in st. Louis. the

about the polls under the pretence OF

one party, but of the very refuse OF
that party. with here and there a dash
Of respectability 10 keep the crowd
from dIfiusing too great a stencil. Ii

ness Is broken up. and the Democrats
of the country covered a multitude Of
faults IN attempting TO do it at the ex.
ira session. There is no instance on
record in which these JAnissaries Of the
political bosses have done any of the
good work contemplated by the law
authorizing their appointment. When
they have done the least harm they have
simply done nothing except draw their
per diem. II We are 10 have deputy
marshsls they should be appointed by
the United States Courts, with due re-
gard 10 The character Of the appointees
and the protection Of the interests Of
both parties. The present system Is
