The Casanave Sensation a Failure

The Casanave Sensation a Failure.
New YORK, Aug. 20.-Washington Dispatch
es say that Casanave's story has not proved
such a great sensation as was expected 1t
was peddled about the newspaper offices by a
man claiming to be Casanave's counsel, who
probably sold it to obtain his fees, which Casa
nave failed to pay. Secretary Sherman says
he contributed nothing to the Casanave fund.-
but that he knows all the circumstances of the
case, and it was an iniquitous proceeding on
the part of the lawyers, who are claiming the
exOrbitant fee which threatens Casanave's
property. Republican friends of Casanave
have, l understand, advanced sufficient to
meet the demands of the lawyer and division
will be made to pay the rest when due. My
regret is that 1 have not had an opportunity to
contribute to this fund / should consider it
an honor to contribute. Each office-holder
should be called upon to contribute a small
sum, if only cent, and the sum collected
should be rendered Casanave in payment of
the debt belonging to the Republican party. L
presume the membersspf the Returning Board
are too poor to assist.

[Oxford Democrat
That Deficiency" Again.

We find the following in a Greenbacko-
Democratic exchange:
ga deficiency of over $500, 900 in administration
of the State affairs for the year ending December
81, 1878. See State Treasurer Bankss annual
Report. Mr. Banks was not Greenpacker'
We take Mr. Banks's report and find the
following:
"The estimated receipts for 1879 are 81 ,125, 319,
and if the expenditures aggregate about the same as
in 1873, there will be deficiency of about $780,
600 to be provided for in addition to the temporary
loan of $500 contracted this year.
Now that does not say that there is any def
cheney of cover $500, 0O0," nor of 100000; but
if the expenditures of 1879 equal those of 1878,
and the receipts of 1879 equal only the estimate
made by Mr.. Banks, there will be deficiency
of $500, 900 in 1879 Either the Democratic and
Greenback papers are lying to US, or Mr.
Banks's estimated deficiency of 100000 will
not occur. We are told that the last Legisla-
ture saved the State over S5OO,o0o. Ihese saw
ings (if they were made) will not only wipe out
the estimated deficiency OF $l500OO Tor 1879,
but will also cancel the temporary loan of
S15O.OOO made in 1878. Either the Legislature
did not make the savings as we are told. or,
according to their own figures, they should
come out even at the close of 1879.
If the fusion Legislature have saved $780,
900, they have assessed a tax too large for the
year 1879, and at its close should have sur
plus of $349 ,031 49, The tax for 1877 was $780,
1888; in 1878 there was a deficiency of $780,
600, due to the small tax of 1877. Then that
sum should be added to the 1877 tax. This
shows that the 1877 tax should have been
1926, 1883. The tax for 1878 was 1899, 712 70,
being $74, 800 6 in excess of the amount that
should have been assessed if the tax of 1877
had been sufficiently large. This excess comes
over into the year 1879, and to it should be
added the $4,000 railroad tax paid in 1879
This gives the present administration S124-
529.26 to apply toward paying the S150O0O de-
ficiency, as extra funds, passed by the last ad-
ministration to this-though the money is to
be collected this year. This leaves balance
of $25, 470.74 to be added to the 1879 tax and
that is all the actual deficiency which the Re-
publican administration bequeathed to the fu-
sionists, and that was due to the injudicious
three mill tax of 1877, assessed in the interest
of economy. This deficiency should be added
to the tax for current expenses in 1879, and
shows that the 10 tax should have been $780,
644.27. The tax assessed is $500 67590, or an
excess of $49,031.63 above the necessary
amount. If the Legislature saved 100000 to
the State. that sum should be added to the ex-
cess and shows that at the close of this year
there should be $349, 031 63 in the State Treas
ury. We hope the money will be there; but,
like the good old deacon, we have narrowing
doubts'

Murray's Story Of His Troubles

SAN Francisco Aug. 2O-The Call publishes
an interview with Adirondack Murray. He
says he came to this coast to introduce the
blackboard and see the State. When he left
home he thought his business affairs were in a
snug condition. The trouble was caused by a
personal friend suing on a small debt and at
taching his property, when the usual run of
of creditors started. The entire Indebtedness
will not exceed $4,000, and the property, if
sold under the hammer tomorrow would pay
them off and leave me handsome surplus. l
intend to return East in few days and put
affairs in shape.

ming as an Independent candidate for sheriff,
has eliminated in the shooting of Dixon by
James III. Barksdale, candidate for Chancery
at 4 p. m. today. The conflict, it is said, grew
out of the present unfortunate state of political
affairs in Yazoo county. 1t is said, on the con-
trary, that it was purely personal matter, and
politics had nothing to do with it. Dixon has
been severely denounced in mass meeting and
on all occasions by Barksdae.
