The Glover Report.

WASHINGTON, July 7-The substance OF
what Is known as the supposed Glover re-
port concerning the management of the
Treasury Department was published to.
day. The document in full would fill over
fifty ordinary newspaper columns. tits
intensely Democratic in tone and contains
some very serious charges. A special at
tack is made on the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing which It is alleged has cost
the taxpayers millions OF money because
OF the frauds and extravagant experiments
in dry printing and other branches OF the
business, As proof, charges in the bust
ness system are charged in violation Of
law. 1tis asserted that the Statutes have
been altered to make this action appear
lawful. Great stress is placed upon un.
claimed interest payments and the man
agement OF the Custom Houses. It is al
legged that there are $3.50, 900 unaccounted
for OF money realized from the sale
Of cotton seized by order Of the govern
ment as captured and abandoned proper
ty in the South. 1t is charged that an
Official now dead, gave special privileges
to the Bonanza mine owners, and by this
action aided in bulling the market 10 such
an extent that the owners realized Sl25,
0OO, 900 from their sales. The old story Of
carrying elections by counterfeit Is re-
yiyed, and ills asserted thatlarge amounts
have been surreptitouSly printed from
genuine plates; also that the notes called
IN and ordered destroyed have been stolen
and reissued. The report closes by affirm.

In an interview at Washington between
Charles W. MOulton, well knownin Ohio
politics, and correspondent OF the Gin
rinnati Commercial, the former, in refer
ing to the future Of the Greenback party,
made the following remarks:
"Beiore election day lido not believe the
(ireenbaCk party will be In existence.
What has il 10 live on? Resumption is an
accomplished fact. Greenbacks to-day are
on a par with gold. Our silver business
is reviving. Our once PROSTATE commerce
is being renewed to its pristine power.
Factories that were once dull and still, are
now active and aglow. Shops from whence
no sound arose are now filled with the
hum Of hurrying workmen. Farms that
mrtailed their annual tillage are now
sending 10 the markets their fullest pro-
ducts, so that the long depression that has
been lowering over US like dark cloud at
noon is lifting rapidly away, showing to
us the fullest realization oil our great mer-
rantile power and commercial resources.
So there can be no doubt but that the
Greenback party as party must soon die
away, and when it does so it will be for
erer."
There is great deal Of force in these re-
marks. There is no living issue that can
keep the Greenback party alive. Re-
sumption killed it, and the good crops Of
the present year will bury it out OF sight.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Senator Lamar
left Washington several days before the
end Of the session to ill engagements in
Mississippi, and last night he returned and
will remain ten days or two weeks. He
gives rather gloomy account Of the labor
Troubles in Mississippi. He found the
Kansas fever raging among the colored
people to agreater degree than he had be-
lieyed. Even those upon his own place
have a touch Of 1t, although the relations
between employer and employees in this
case have been exceptionally good. He
says all sorts OF wild stories obtain cred.
ence among the blacks, the main one be.
ing that the Government Is to furnish
them transportation TO Kansas, q land OF
milk and honey. Hereports that recently
a white man passed through his section
Carryinga red flag, and spreading the re-
port that on certain date free train
would pass over the road TO carry colored
people TO Karsas. Hundreds OF negroes
collected along the road and are waiting
for the free train, which, OF course, will
not come, as the whole affair was cruel
hoax. The Senator thinks the exodus is
not over by any means, as the blacks are
excited by stories Of free transportation
provided by the Government, and free
farms in Kansas, but that good number
who go will come back and dispel the rosy
pictures OF Kansas life.

Tho Financial ou,,ooI,

The New York Financial Chronicle, re.
viewing the course Of the market during
June, says there was developed, as a rule,
a strong tone on a moderate volume Of
business. The predictions Of a change
from the buoyant tendency, which had
been the great feature of previous months,
were not fulfilled, and the large advance
in securities OF all sorts which had already
been established was very well maintained.
The dealings in United States Government
bonds were less animated on account Of
the peculiar situation OF the market, In
which the $40 funding certificates, ex.
changeable for new four per cent bonds,
introduced disturbing element which In.
duced the four per cent syndicate bankers
10 virtually withdraw from the market ag
sellers until the bonds arising from these
$40 certificates should be sent out OF IN
way.
THE first of July has been passed with.
outany real sLringency In money, and the
enormous settlements for government
bonds 10 be made this month will probahl,
be effected without disturbance, so.tbat NJ
the first OF August the financial horizon
will be clear OF threatening clouds, and
our money market (unless present indica
ttons shall belle themselyesJ will be gluttet
with an abundance Of funds which I'M
seldom been equalled. The greater con
tidence In eyerydirection and the difficult,
OF purchasing tirstclass securities Al prioe
which enable the buyer To realize d pe
cent on his money, will surely Undue,
many capitalists to- engage in mercantil
ventures, and in mining, railroad, an,
other Industrial enterprises.

The Finest PoIiIce IN the world ,.,,

New YoRK, July T. Bishop Seymour
says the treatment he, and his sister par
ticularly, received at the hands Of the po-
lice after the body of his brother had been
discovered on the Seminary grounds was
such as would only be shown to savages.
The officers, Notwithstanding my protes-
tations that we lived onthe place, insisted
that we should be removed to the Police
Station forthwith. They even refused to
allow my sister to enter the house for her
garments.
Bishop Seymour asserts that men and
women have frequently made this secIud-
ed plat Of ground a resort for improper
purposes, and he believes that his broth
in.law met party, some one Of whom,
finding exposure inevitable, jumped up

The Board OF Regents OF tAe Institution
for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, in
their report of June 10Th. 1870, state
in reference to expenses: The per capita
"rHasirey il not greater at ROmney than
si'hcrai Saunton or Raleigh."
We have already shown that this state

1878, with the cost at Staunton and other
institutions as shown by their reports,
assuming all those reports to be correct,
which as to tue institution at Romney
there have BEEN N'iven good and abundant
reasons for doubling.
In the report of OCT. II, 1878, on page
", we find expenditures for groceries and
provisions $5,943 3Sl." Assuming that
there wereS5 pupils in attendance during
the whole Of the session, which We have
shown to be too improbable to be believ'
ed, the cost per pupil for that Que item for
that year was $50 9S. AT Staunton the cost
for thatitem as shown by the.report.of that
institution was $50 9l for each pupil; at
Hartford the cost was s57 05, and at In
dianapolis the cost was $50 75. y

For servants alone at Romney the cost

could they possibly reach the conclusion
that the cost at Romney Is no greater
than at other institutiops2 II they did
not, how could they presume TO make any
statement on the subject, and expect the
public to believe that II was the result Of Q

| Wehaye been forcibly struck with the
difference between the report Of the insti.
tuition at Romney anil that at Weston.
Both Of them are State institutions, and,
Of course, the managers Of both are re.
sponsible TO the State authorities, and
through them 10 the people, for an accu.
rate account Of the expenditure Of the
money appropriated by tho Legislature
for their support. The public should be
carefully and clearly informed OF the OK.

tions; and such a report should be given
Of the receipts aud expenditures that
any citizen Of ordinary intelligence and
familiarity with accounts can readily see
what is the cost Of supporting eacl, indi.
vidnal pupil.
The report Of the uperinteplent Of the
Hospital for the Insane meets all these re-.
quirements. We find in his report the
daily acreage number of iIHlGtes for Ae year to
be 4l5I and we find tl,s cost for oroceri,,
and prorisiop, to be s5S q for each one NJ

the cost at Romney is 800 Os per pupil for
forty weeks, equivalent to a fraction nm.

reason Of this? Do groceries and provi.
