RAIpING THE TREASURY

We apprehend that the readers OF the
Congressional Record from day to DAY, are
rather limited in number, but It is well TO
look over its pages occasionally just to keep
pace with the gentlemen who are sent up TO
the national capital every winter to attend
to the country's legislation. IL is not
always that these representatives are found
engaged in Just that character Of work we
would IKE 20 see going on or such as the
necessities Of thei- constituencies demand,
but there is one aspect in which
the average member never fails
to show up conspicuously. II may
be uncomplimentary TO say so, but
this role is that OF the claim-agent. In
glancing from time to time over the pro
coedings Of the present session the one pre-
dominant feature Of al Others therein is
The myriad Of private bills and bills for re-
iefofthis man or tl,at, or this institution
or the other, all looking to a slice on the
big surplus reported a. locked up in the
vaults Of The treasury at the IA

In Senrch of q Daughter.

At or near Dunville, in Tarrant county,
lives a farmer who last September met with
the misfortune of losing his wife, and found
himself LETT with family of children and
little to take care Of them with. Pressed by
necessity, be consented that a man, calling
himself Tommic, from Dallas should take
and provide for one of his little girls, about
seven years OF age, but Of late he has been
yearning for the presence at home
of his little daughter, and bitterly
repented his conduct in giving her away.
As a result he came TO this city yesterday in
search Of Tommie and the daughter. He
inquired at police headquarters and else
where throughout the city for information
touching the missing one, but without sue
cess, and Is still engaged in the souowful
search for his little loved daughter. He
imagined Re had found n clue when he
learned that the girl had been left at one
of the hotels. but he was doomed to dis
appointment again. Ii Is 10 be hoped
that this little unfortunate will be found by

though q mothers care be wanting, she
may be reared virtuously. Otherwise, the

Mormon PrOselytes,

A band Of six men and seventeen women,
Mormon proselytes who hail from the
counties of Bee, Live Oak and Duval passed
through the city on yesterday mornings
north-bound train over the Texas Central
on their way to Salt Lake City. They were
by no means refined-looking set of peo-
pie all of them looking as though they had
just left the ranks of procession of rag
tags and bob-tails. The men wore beard
over their faces, and, like the women, were
stability dressed and looked equally as
simple. Their faces did not indicate any
alarming amount of intelligence
Some of them formerly be-
longed to the Holiness band
but were afterwards converted to the Nor
mon faith. There were two missionaries
with them who have been PROSECUTING in
Southern Texas. One of the men said that
there was such a false prejudice against the
faith that the missionaries had to do their
work as quietly Is possible. The coun-
ties from which they hail should congrat-
Ulate that they have gotten rid of such a
worthless set of citizens. Among the num-
Der was girl of about eighteen. She was
possessed of beautiful face, and she at
traCted attention dkpite her soied dress
and WORKOUT breakfast shawl, which she
had converted into a(covering for her head.

As will be seen from our dispatches this
morning GUITEAU was yesterday sentenced
by JUDGK Cox to be hung on the 3Oth Of
June next This is as soon as the execution
would be permitted by the laws Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and in the mean time the
'court in banc," Of which the assassin has
had 50 much to say, viii have an opportu-
ty to pass upon the case, with what result
IT does not require any great stretch Of the
Imagination to perceive. Yesterdays pro-
ceedings wound up JuDGE Cox's connection
with the case, and Il may justly be said Of
him that he has diDlayed both talent, dis
erection and learning throughout The ntire
trial. His final sentence yesterday has
placed the everlasting limit 10 the life Of
CHARLIE J. GULEAU. His end may come
before the 10Th Of Jure, indeed, but it is
then certain.

Mr.. ]. O. Rees, an officer from Benton,
Arkansas, passed north on the north-bound
train over the Texas Central last evening,
having in charge, as q prisoner, Robert o.
Mahoney, whom he captured in Walker
county, this state. Mahoaey was in 1880,
treasurer of the school fund there and had
the utmost confidence Of the people, but lie
betrayed their trust by skipping out the
latter part of the year with $1,000 entrusted
to his keeping as treasurer, and went first
to Mansfield, Louisiana, and afterwards
to Walker county, this state,
where he taught n singing-class.
His whereabouts was recently discovered
by the authorities of Benton and Officer
Jouett was sent after him. The prisoner is
in years on the other side of 80, and is pos
sessed of very fair face and good address.
The officer had one of the prisoners hand
cuiied to the car seat. lie denies the
charge and claims that he left on account
OF there being so much prejudice against
would arrest and throw him in jail on ac-
cunt OF the charge of which, he says
he is innocent, which he feels satisfied
he can prove on fair trial. He says that he
admitted that he acted imprudently in leav-
ing in the manner he did, but insists that
he never defaulted, but ran away for fear
the citizens OF Benton would think he had.
He was, according to his brief statement,
on his way from Benton to Usage Mills wlNn
three robbers stopped him and took, not
only his money, but his watch. This story
is not generally credited by the citizens of
Rentnn HAVING been relieved Of his cash
he was afraid that he would be suspected of
crookedness, and he immigrated at once.
