In the examination of this class of matter it
is proper to state that the stubs from January
to july 1879. have not been produced; there
fore | am without any data, during that pc
riOd upon which to base report, and IN April,
1852 the system was changed from carrying
out the gross amounts on margin of stubs to
that of carrying out the net amounts, there
fore doing away with the necessity OF eharg-
ing off the discounts on the general cash book.
\ large number of the receipts given Tor the
class of taxes Just named would indicate that
a very lax system has been carried on IN the
office of the Treasury in allowing the dis
counts when the payments were not made
promptly within the time allowed by the city
ordinance. This applies to the discounts
allowed On water rents also, all OF which $50

A Nice Programme.

We have noticed a statement telc-
graphed recently from Washington to
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, that
prominent Democrats in that city from
Mississippi, were SO much infatuated
with John Lynch, present, but soon
will be "late Representatives. the River
District, that they had decided to Elk

the State may not have the misfortune
to be deprived Of hisservices in Congress
hereafter. The report is so preposterous
that it does not really require comment.
The people themselves in the last cleo
ton, had occasion to decide whether
they wanted Mr.. Lynch to represent
them in Congress and they declared with
very decided emphasis that they did not ;
and what the people decide, politicians
should not undertake to overrule.
Taking the census for guide, (Which
results have shown to be not entirely re-

The first step toward arresting the rapid

question. The primary object Of the
trainers Of the government in authoriz-

g detray the expenses Of the govern

EDITORS CLARION: Your informant
in reference to the new Senator from
Jasper and Clarke, coming from Clarke,
is entirely too previous. Clarke has
had Senator for the last four years.
She has the Circuit Judge and aspires to
have the District Attorney. Surely she
won't claim more. Jasper will ask
Clarke to unite with her in electing her
faithful and true son, w. M. Brame,
and hopes she does not ask in vain.
FAIR Play.

A Dishonored Representative.

In strange freak of the public mind,
Col. Tom Ochiltree was elected as an In
dependent to Congress from one of the
Texas Districts. He was U, S. Marshal
under Grant, and in that office defaulted
to the amount Of $4,000, for which the
Government obtained a judgment, which
was returned nallq bona. In entering
upon his Congressional term, Col. Ochil-
tree is confronted with the following
section of the Revised Statutes:
omoncv shall be paid to any person r
his compensation who is in arrears to the
United Suites until he has accounted for
and paid into the Treasury all sums for
which he may be'lable. @
An Act, approved Marcd 8, 1875, pro-
yidcs that
When any claim dulv allowed by legal an-
thority shall be pres ntcd to the Secretary
Of the Treasury for payment, and the plain
tiff or claimant be indebted to the United
States III any manner it shall be the duty
Of the Secretary to withhold payment.
Ochiltree seeing his dilemma as to hi,
pay, has proposed to compromise the
debt at $500. OF course tho Govern
ment will not accept so discreditablc a
settlement; but, if it should, it will be
for the House, which is the judge of the
qualification of its members, to decide
whether it should permit q defaulter tc
the Government to occupy place il
one Of its departments.
