FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, Aug !, 1881.
The old saying that "Uncle Sam is rich
enough to buy us all farm" is almost liter
ally true. While we hear ofpoverty every
where, and see it all around us, there is lots
of money in the National cash box. Few
people know what large amount of money
passes through the United States Treasury
in the course Of year. The general idea is
that the Government is made Of money, or,
rather, can make just as much of that COM
modify as happens to be wanted; which is
practically, though not exactly true. To
reduce these concentrations to figures it
may be stated that the total revenues Of the
Government amount to something over three
hundred millions of dollars per year, or
nearly a million a day. That does not
sound 50 large, after all, in q country where
we rate private fortunes by the million aud
daily talk of enterprises involving millions
in their operations,yet to sit down and think
of il calmly and eollectedly a million dol
lars is a very large sum, and three hundred
times as much goes almost beyond full COM
prehension.
Let any young person who fails 10 realize
the magnitude of Uncle Sans income un-
dertake 10 count 800 900, 900 blocks Of wood
or sheets of paper. 1t would need to be a
very young person and very smart one to
finish the job in this life. Counting 10000
per day only a little over 100000 could
be counted in year, If we except Sundays,
and nearly one hundred years would be re-
quired TO count the entire number. The old
gentleman with a scythe would be along be-
fore any one now living could accomplish
the feat. Yet every dollar of this laIge rev.
enue is handled oyer several times by the
Government through its employees and Of
fcials, aud under perfect system Of checks
balances and counter balances every penny
of il is strictly accounted for. OF course mol
half or quarter of the whole amount is
ever on hand at one time. 1t comes liz and
goes out constantly, but there are always
very large sums in the vaults aud strong
boxes. In future article some account o.
the sources whence this enormous revenu,
is derived, and the manner in which il il
expended, will be given, but it is the pur.
pose of this letter 10 explain how the money
bags are handled aud guarded at the Treas
ury. 1t isn't everybody that knows wher'
the money is or how 1t is kept safe from fire
moth and thieves-espeeiallY thieves. You
correspondent knows all about il and eoulC
go into the vaults any day and help himsel
TO as much as he liked. Bus he is too hon
est and besides he is wealthy. NowspaPe
7 men generally are.

ton Reform party of Pennsylvania, met
Thursday, 2sth ult., in Altoona. Forty-five
delegates, representing twenty. two counties,
were present, and nominated James NJ.

oppose polygamy, monopolies and the SELL

against the doctor by the patient On
the trial it was not claimed that the ply
sician had represented his assistant TO
be q doctor, nor that either husband or
wife had objected to his presence. In
fact, both had consented. No lact Of
professional skill on the part Of the doc
tor nor misbehavior on the part of his
assistant was charged. The simple conf
plant was that the physician had
brought to his aid, without disclosing
his character, one who was not profess
sional man. The jury gave the plaintiff
q verdict and the case was appealed to
the Supreme Court to test the question
of the physicians liability. The judg-
ment for damages was promptly affirm
ed by that tribunal, which declared that
''it would be shocking to our sense
of right, justice and propriety to doubt
even that for such an act the law would
afford an ample remedy. To the plain
tiff the occasion was most sacred one,
and nc one had right to intrude unless
invited or because of some real and
pressing necessity, which it is not pre-.
tended existed in this case."

1t is reported from Peoria, Illinois, that
P. W. Grove, whose name has been men
toned in connection with the manufacture
of Internal machines for shipment in ocean
steamships, has acknowledged to an inter-
viewer his completely in the diabollcal busi-
ness. He is reported as saying that, at a
meeting Of the Executive Committee of the
United Irishmen in New York last year, the
expediency of purchasing the Hogate tor
pedo boatsto "devastate the shores of Eng
land" was discussed "but they decided
that 1t would be too expensive and that they
could better work by deposting torpedoes in
British ships, which could be done for $25
apiece, aud which would bring England to
terms by making it dangerous for people to
go abroad in British vessels" He is also
reported as saying that "these internal ma
chimes are being made in every city in
which there is branch of the Order"

The two greatest States in the Union
Pennsylvania and New York-cannot feel
much pride when they look at their repre-
sentatives in the Senate. The private char
acters Of all these gentlemen may be excel
lept--we say nothing about that here. Bnt
Senator Cameron, the only one of the four
who is known beyond his native village,
makes no pretensions to statesmanship, and
is incapable Of making ten minutes
speech in defense OF any interests
of his constituents, while Mitchell, we all
knsw, sits in his shadow, and bobs up Sc
renely," only when he is bidden. AS to
New York, Lapham is a country lawyer Of
average ability, who will cut a very insig-
nihcant figure in the Senate. His col
league, Miller, is wealthy monopolist,
made SO by the patent he owns. The next
Senate will be composed Of very poor legs-
latiye timber. Bayard and Edmunds, and
a very few more, that can be counted on
ones fingers are the only Senators in Con-
gress who rise above mediocrity.

On Monday several attempts were made
to locate the exact position of III bullet
by the means of Professor Bells induc-
ton balance with some success. The
spot indicated is about AZ inches below
aud to the right of the navel, just where
the black and blue spots were apparent
for several days Immediately following
the shooting. Reyburn further said that
there was no intention of cutting for the
ball at present; they were all pleased to
feel that they knew where ball the is, but
as long as it is doing no mischief they do
not intend TO disturb it. There was moth
ing in the result of the experiment to in
dicate the depth of the ball below the
surface, beyond that it is not less than
two or more than five inches. Prof. Bell
of course feels greatly encouraged by his
achievement of science. will endeavor TO
still further improve the apparatus. The
experiment caused no sensation to the
prtient, and he has continued to rest
comfortable in raised position since the
dressing of the wound. The dispatches
on Tuesday afternoon report that the
President is now able TO make use of his
arms, TO lift himself about little, and
can draw his leg without pain. II,
makes no complaint of pain in the back
though all the lower portion of his body
is very stiff. Nothing has been decided
in connection with the removal of thu
ball. The President passed very salts
factory day Thursday and his attendant
are beginning to discuss plans for givinl
him change of air and possibly a So
voyage.

The body Of Philip Klinger SIN

The body OF Philip Klnger Smith, at
one time bishop of the Mormon Church,
has been found in prospect hole" in So
nora, Mexico, under circumstances indicat-
lug murder. His death is attributed TO the
Mormon Danites, who are supposed to have
killed him in revenge for his testimony,
given years ago, convicting John D. Lee of
directing tho Mountain Meadow massacre.
After returning from the trial, Smiths
vile left him, by order Of the church, and
he went to live in Arizona, where two at
temps were made to kill him. II is said
that he expressed his belief that, sooner or
later, "the Church would kill him."
