THE CASE OF Ex-POsTMAsTER LEwEs'
SURITIEs-EvANs RICE PLEADS
"GUILTY," AND is SENTENCED TO 5
YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY.
This morning aftar the circuit court
was opened, the list of cases for trial
and argument was taken up, and John
Z. Patterson Esq, stated that the cases
Of the United States, Us. Thomas M.
Culbert and the United Sta.es ps
John Feherenbach were ready
to be disposed of. Upon the
case being taken up, he said. that in both
cases, E. G. Bradford, Jr., Esq, coun-
sci for the defense, had agreed to We
him judgement in favor OF the plaintiff
for costs in both cases.
This case grew out of a defalcation by
Ex-Postmaster Lewis, in the sum of $3-
OOO. When action was taken against
him, he paid $1,000 and gave Thomas
M. Culbert and John Fehrenbach as se-
curities, who gave judgement bond
which was properly entered up. The
suit grew out of the claim made by
Messrs. Culbert and Febrenbach that
Mr.. Lewis original bondsmen should
make up the deficiei c..
After the considering Of the trial list
for short time the District Court was
opened and Evan Rice entered the court
room accompanied by his counsel, Levi
G. Bird, Esq.
Rec stood up and wien asked by the
Court if he was guilty or not guilty, re-
piled "guilty."
The judge then proceeded to sentence
the prisoner, saying that his offence was
was fully specified in section $500 Of the
Revised Statutes of the United Stat es,
which fixed the penalty. In the indict-
ment were seven counts.
The first two counts were for unlaw-
fully obstracting and unlawfully embez-
zling ar advance check of $2S17.37 of
Pusey Jones, Il Co; the third and fourth
were for unlawfu,ly abstracting and un-
lawfully embezzling check for $2,997.-
90 Of Pusey, Jones & Co., the fifth aud
sixth were for unlawtully abstracting
and embezzling q check of $2,915.42 OF
Pusey, Jones & Co., and the seventh for
embezzling and abstracting check OF
$2,217 AZ Of Pusey, Jones & Co. The
court then said the charge to which he had
just plead guilty was very serious one
but considering everything, he would
sentence him to the least possible time
five years. This sentence might be con
sidered by many people very severe
penalty but it was not, considering the
nature of the oiense. He closed by say.
ing that he would commit him to the
custody Of the U. S. Marshal until hi.
sentence had been served out, commenc
ing June 18th, 1879, and ending Jun,
10th, 1884.
The total amount of Rices embezzle
ment was $28,000, but $4,000 of thi
amount was paid by his bondsmen, w
G.. Penneypacker, DR.. Henry Gar
rett, and Job H. Jackson, and abou
$4,000 more were realized from asset
transferred by Rice to the bank. Thi
reduces the loss to $4,000.
The story of Rice's embezzlement, hi
arrest and the subsequent action of tn
Court, is well known to the public am
need not be repeated here.
The Court adjourned about moo
without doing any further business.

HUGH M'cULLocH ON SILVER.

From his Last I.rrtn e in tnmLri &c
In my second lecture spoke of gold
and silver, especially of their compare
tive value. The conclusion WAS reached
that not only are both needed Us IA cir,u-
lating medium or measure of value, but
that all nations, at least all western ma
tions, will eventually he compelled to
adopt the double standard. The appre.
hension that the depreciation of silver
will increase or even continue for any
considerable time has, in my jugemenf,
no better foundation than which existed
in 1852 in regard to the depreciation OF
gold. The difference in the Weld OF
gold and silver mines and other causes
have cOnspired in the past, and may
| cOnspire in the future, to give to the two
| metals, sometimes to one, sometimes to
the other, superior value. But in all
probability this superiority will be only
temporary. 1t certainly will be when
both are used as money by all the leading
commercial nations. The wisdom which
made both measure of value and estab
llshed between them comparative re
latiOns is vindicated by their history
While their comparative commercial
value has been subject to alterations, and
can never be absolutely fixed by human
| law, higher law has heretofore proven
ted and will continue to prevent these
fluctuations from becoming so great as
to offset the advantages derived from the
use of bOth-the law of comparative
supply. The relations between them
have been practically settled by the cost
of labor in obtaining them, and this cost
which is always a regulator of supply
| is no more likely to be seriously distur
bed in the future than it has in the past
We may, l think, safely discard all ap
prehensions that either will ever be sc
cheapened as to render it unfit for the
purpose for which it is to be used.

ARREARS OF PENSIONS.

Parties entitled to arrears of pensions
under the law passed by the last congress
are anxious to know what if any funds
are to be available to pay the said arrear.
ages. They will be gratified to learn
that payments of all such claims, which
may be allowed, will soon begin, and
continue until all are adjusted. Parties
who are entitled to apply for arrears
should therefore put in their claims. In
response TO letter addressed by Secre-
tary Schurz, inquiring what amount of
funds can be made available for the pay
ment of arrears due upon the pensions
allowed prior to January 25th, 1879, the
the secretary of the treasury states that
including the amount already paid, ST.
100000 will be available prior to July
LIST, and $2,OOO,OOO monthly thereafter.
At this rate nearly the whole of the
next fiscal year will be required to com
plete the next payment of these arrears
The commissioner ofpensions, in view OF
this, has issued circular letter to al
applicants for arrears, saying that com
paratively small number of cases only
can be adjusted monthly, and therefor,
some delay may occur in the settlement
of the claims, but settlements will be
made in such order as to distribute tho
payments equally among the several
pension agencies, as near rs may be.

THE SENATORS.

Curtis, the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, has com
piled large amount of interesting per
sonal intelligence concerning members
of the senate, from which we condense
the following facts:
Seven members of that body are ma
tives of New York, seven of Ohio, and
seven of Kentucky. Five were born in
Tennessee, five in Virginia, five in Mary
land, four in Pennsylvania, and four In
Vermont; three in each of the states OF
Massachusetts, Georgia and New Hamp
shire; two in each of the states of Maine
Connecticut, North Carolina, Delaware
and Indiana; and one in each of the
states of Missouri, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Michigan, New
Jersey and Illinois. One, Jones, OF
Nevada, was born in England; one, Beck
of KY, in Scotland; and one, Jones, OF
Fla, in Ireland.
Eleven states, Massachusetts, Connect
icut, Vermont, Delaware, Virginia, New
Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania
Tennessee, North Carolina, and GeOrgia
are represented by their native-bOrn citi.
Zens all the other senators are carpet
baggers."
The Oldest senator is Hamlin, OF
Maine, who is 20; the youngest, Bruce
of Miss, who is thirty. Only thirty-Ont
of the senators are under fifty. COnkling
is just fifty; Blaine, forty-nine; and Ed
munds fifty-One. Thurman is sixty-slx
Lamar fifty-fOur, and Beck fifty-seven
So the Republican leaders are younger
than the Democratic leaders. Ingalls,
of this state, is torty-six. Plumb's age
is not given. Seven senator's, Blaine
Withers, Dawes, Lamar, Ingalls,, AnthO
ny and Plumb have been editors. Eight
senators don't remember the month Of
their birth, and three forget the year al
so. Fifty-eight were educated for the
law, and fifty-twO are practicing lawyers
Seven are farmers, and three miners
Three are bank presidents, and one 8
physician.

state-rooms, hotel bills, carriage hire etc
will not exceed so to $25 for each per.
son. The exact date of the convention.
and all the details of the excursion, will
be announced early In June.
The members of the association will
be entertained by the people of Topeka
during their stay here in the Characters
tic good style of the Capital city. AT
Chicago the Commercial Club com
posed of leading business men, has sig
nified an intention to show them appro-
pirate courtesies; and the managers of
Haverly's and Hooley's theatres have
rendered the party complimentary tick
cts. 1t is possible, also, that we shall
meet the Illinois editors at Chicago. and
the Michigan editors at Mackinac.
The excursion will unauestionably
be the most interesting and ENJOYABLE
one the association ever made; and it is
hoped that every Kansas editor will make
it point to take it int" One bona ftlt
editor or publisher and one lady from
each paper in the State, will be entitled
TO go; and no proxies, or outsiders, can
be permitted TO join the party. All those

confer favor by notifying the subscri
