DISGUISED AS PREACHER.-A Little
Rock special says: ga private dispatch re-
ceived from Ozark, Arkansas, announces the
capture of VIM. Casey, who murdered Bur-
CESS James, a wealthy planter, in Yell
county, in 1879. Casey was tried, found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged at Ozark
on December IS, 1880. He succeeded in get
ting a new trial, pending which he, in com
pany with two accomplices named Polk and
Helphrey, escaped from the jail at Ozark
some two months since, being aided by one
of the prison guards. After gaining their
liberty the three murderers separated.
Casey, it appears, went to Carroll county,
represenI ing himself as Methodist preach
er. He officiated at two or three camp
meetings, and it is said that several per-
sons were converted through his ministra-
tions; In fact, his fame as pulpit orator
drew crowds and led to his apprehension,
as persons living in adjacent counties and
who know him were attracted by reports of
his wonderful eloquence. When arrested
he denied all knowledge of Casey or the
murder, claiming it was a case of mistaken
identity. A reward Of nearly $1,000 has
been offered for his capture"

BANKS AND BACK TAXES.
Commissioner Raum Lays Down
the Law.

WASHINGTON, September 14.-A hearing
was had before Commissioner Raum to-day
on the subject of taxation Of bank deposits.
Gentlemen were present representing banks
of New York, Boston, Baltimore and Cincin-
natl. The question under consideration
was the claim of the Internal Revenue
Bureau that back taxes on deposits and
capital were due the government from the
banks. Recent Investigations made by
agents Of the bureau have established the
fact that there are back taxes. An inter-
view with General Raum was, for the most
part, technical to the banking business, and
consisted mainly OF questions and an
swers about the system OF checks and how
returns to the Internal Revenue Bureau
were made up. The main difficulty was
evidently in checks which came into the
banks. The banks have not recorded them
as they should. Checks are deposits, and
by emitting them they have scaled down
their taxes. Gen. R4um referred to the
rule adopted as a guide for the national
banks in 1864, which excluded from the
balance of any days deposits such checks
on city banks as were deposited on that
day, with the understanding that the money
was not to be withdrawn from the bank
until the next day. This rule he
proposed still to follow, and to re-
cognize clearing house settlements. The
general tenor of the whole interview was
to arrive at an understanding by which an
amicable adjustment as to how the amount
of back taxes due could be reached aud a
system for future business, founded so that
there could be no misunderstanding either
innOcentlY or wilfully in future. That there
will be such understanding there is no doubt.
There was very little difference between
Commissioner Raum and the banks in re-
gard to the deductions to be made on the
accounts Of checks, which are balanced in
clearing houses. General Raum was very
plain spoken and said that Investigations in
Boston, Baltimore aud Philadelphia had re-
suited in showing that the banks had
made erroneous statements in their
taxable returns, and he intended
that the balance should be made
good. Investigations in Cincinnati
would soon follow, and, Of course, New
York would come In for her share. From
the examinations already made in that city
he was satisfied that about $1,000, 900 Of
taxes had not been returned by bankers
through inadvertence or otherwise.

The Situation In Tunis.

LONDON, September 14.-A dispatch from
Tunis to the Times says: "It appears that
the camp at Za1uahasun is in q critical po-
sition, as all communications with Tunis
have been cut of. The Bey is greatly dis
tressed at the demand of France to dismiss
Premier MusJapha, as he is special favor
ite with the Bey. Mustapha's successor is
highly respected throughout the country
for his integrity and ability"
A dispatch to the Times, from Tunis,
says: "The Arabs have partially destroyed
the aqueduct between Tunis and Zaghousn.
The quantity of water now entering the
town is very trifng, and as it Is decreasing
every moment it is probable that the sup
ply will be entirely cut off. This will be
most serious,as there are no other means Of
procuring drinking water"

A VISIT FROM SECRETARY LINCOLN.
TIE HORRORS OF THE FIRES.
Testimony of Visitors TO the Burned
District OF Michigan.

New YORK, September 14.-The following
telegram was received this morning by Mr..
Charles P. Crosby, President of the Michi-
gan Fire Relief Committee In this city:
PORT HURON. MICH, September 14-TO
the Michigan Fire RLeiJ Committee, Ne1O
York: Have just emerged from the
burnt district. Have travelled over seventy
FIVE miles OF roads In it. The suffering
and devastation is indescribable. In many
places as far as the eye can see, along land
once occupied by comfortable homes and
prosperous people, scarcely anything is
visible but what seems a bouudless
sea of ashes, from which arises
q sitting odor of burning flesh and bones.
Blinded and fire crazed people abound.
Transportation is difficult, and supplies
come through slowly, especially at a dis
tance from the shore and railway. A man
is asked the whereabouts of his wife and
children and he stares wildly. He leaps at
a loaf of bread and leaps away like q wild
beast. Almost hourly the names Of addi-
tional victims are added to the burned and
to the death list. The homeless are thou
sands, the blinded, scorched, crippled and
deranged are very, very many.
J. s. MCDONALD,
Secretary OF Committee.
FARNIA, ONT, September IA public
meeting was held here last night to con-
slider the best means of sending aid to the
sufferers by the Michigan fires Resolutions
OF coincidence were passed aud committees
formed to solicit subscriptions. These are
now at work, and It is expected that a hand
some sum will be raised.

THE condition Of the President,
though still critical, is considered a
little more favorable than it was week
ago. On Sunday, shortly after the doc
tors gave him up, he apparently grew
better, and has since been able to take
much more nourishment and has been
freer from fever than for several weeks.
The improvement in his condition, how
ever, has not been SO marked since
Wednesday, and there is much anxiety
as to how he may pass the coming Sat
urday. The physicians have decided to
take him away from the White House
as soon as he has gained sufficient
strength. The latest bulletins give no
more encouragement than that he is
g holding his ground" AT the time
themorning's bulletin was issued to-day
his pulse was 100; temperature, 98.4 +;

GCoMMUNICATED.l
A Correction,

MR.: EDITOR Il see by one OF our
daily papers that DR.. Power, the pastor
of General Garfield and family, is re-
ported to have said that the present
President of the United States is the
first one who ever filled that office who
was a communicate of a Christian
church. This is a mistake. General
Washington, the first President, was a
regular and devout communicant OF
the church of England, and afterwards
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church. l
have not the date before me as to the
rest but so far as my memory goes,
Martin Van Buren, was member OF
the same church. President Folks
brother was a bishop in the same
church, and | think the President him
self was member. AS also, most
probably, President Madison. John
Adams and John Quincy Adams were
members of the Congregational church,
as also was Mr.. Pierce. Mr.. Fillmore
was presbyterian.
1t is well known that there has never
been President Of the United States
who was not at least attentive to the
forms of religion, at least as far as out
ward respect went, and it is equally
well known that majority Of those
who were not members of a Christian
church were as regular as possible at
public religious services, and contribu-
ted literally to the support Of the same.
1t is, and has been, matter OF great
rejoicing to christian people, that Cen
eral Garfield has been a consistent fol-
lower of Christ during the greater
portion of his life. The fact has, in a
degree, mitigated the deep afiiction
they felt when he was expected to die.
And now that he seems to be spared to
his country awhile, we may rejoice that
the government is likely to remain in
the hands of a just and true and God
praising man. p. 3. &.

DURING the past two OF three weeks
the exchange editor Of the Wilmington
Morning Ne,os has shown symptoms of
becoming an exceedingly facetious little
cuss, notwithstanding the depressing
drought under which almost every green
thing in the country is suffering. His
recent reference to the country editors
of the Peninsula and their concern over
their locals about somebody's tom
cat that died of pneumonia down in
Sleepy Hollow" shows that, though
young in years, he fully appreciates the
colossal forty horsepower yastness of
the influence Of a penny daily.
Middletown transcript., 1881-09-02

BLAINE's BULLETINS are by far
the most sensible in regard to the con
dition of the President that emanate
from an official source at Washington.
The people can understand them be-
cause the Secretary generally succeeds
in calling things by names that are met
with outside of a medical dictionary.
Again, he tries to make the true condi-
tion of the President understood, and
not to cover it up under a mass of long
handled medical terms.
