NASHVILLE, TENN, July 1.-THE sensa.
ton and chief topic Of discussion to-day
has been thestealing Of ex.Treasurer Folks
bank ledger from Treasurer Thomas Office
within the last few days, time not known.
This book contains an entry alleged to have
been falsely made by Captain James Flem-
ing, and from it was TO be obtained testi-
mony to the case OF The State vs.. The
Bank Of Knoxville also the Polk case. NJ.
F.. House, the Treasurer's clerk, remem-
bers to have had the book Thursday and
left it on the table. The key Of the office
was leftin the Office OF the Superintendent
of the Capitol. Some speculations are that
Polk'siriends took ii; others that the banks
did, others that Fleming did. Detectives
claim to have clue to the purloiner, but
decline to talk. House is very reticent;
also Treasurer Thomas, who is severely
censured by the public for allowing the
possibility oi such theft.
This afternoons Hammer says editorially /
"The purloining Of valuable book rom
tine office OF the State Treasurer shows a
looseness entirely unexpected. The State
has one OF the best safes in the country,
the proper receptacle for everything valua-
Bile, and il that book had been where it
belonged it could not have been
stolen"
After two weeks labor the twelfth juror
in the Polk case was obtained this morning.
All the forenoon was occupied in the dis

ment. Judge Allen continued the case TO
Monday, reserying his decision. The chosen

month Of July hail storms visited q
number of localities throughout the
Territory, but were generally confined
TO narrow limits.
The wheat harvest in South Dakota

indications are that it Will largely

harvest has not yet commenced. Cass

OF any county in the Territory, and
reports a prospect Of the best yield
for no years past. Richland county,

prospect for better yield than last
year. The wheat crop is the bone
and slneW of trade in North Dakota
and the farmers and business men
generally have experienced 4 great re-
lief in having escaped the threatening
aspect of Il drought in July. The

Mexico,s Yankee Formulation.

Mexico is filled with Yankees, as all
people of the United States are called.
These Yankees embrace engineers, cap
italists, tourists, spectators, drummers
and adveniurers. The last named, how
ever, are disgrace to our nation, as
they comprise gamblers, tramps and
other high peT"pnages Of both sexes who
travel ipcc rito. The country abounds
in vast natural resources, but is almost
entirely undeveloped. The gold and
silver mines are worked on the same
plan as 100 years ago. Sugar is ground,
wheat gathered and thrashed, cotton
spun, paper manufactured, liquors dis
titled and cloth and textures of all kinds
woven in the most primitive style. In
fact, all labor-saving machines and the
latest inventions and improvements OF
manufacture and agriculture are just
being introduced hence the profuss
abundance Of the Yankee, who, with his
usual foresight and enterprise, sees an
immense trade to be developed with his
own country. Cor. NtW Orleans Plea

The following from the pen of
Edward Kings, the correspondent of
the Boston Journal, shows that the
Willard excursion correspondents
recognized the claims of the Lower
Sound, and especially our noble har-
Dor at the entrance to the straits of
Fuca. He says. Sew eastern
people appreciate the vastncss OF
Puget Sound. 1t covers an area OF
more than two thousand square
miles and has a shore line of eigh-
teen hundred miles. Everywhere
sea- going vessels may run closely
in to its boldest shores without tear
of reefs or breakers. The only
trouble about the navigation of. il
arises from it's land>locked character
ships often needing the service Of
steam tugs to bring them up to pla-
ces like Tacoma and Seattle. This
reads many TO believe that both o
the last mentioned ambitious towns
will be deceived in their hopes, ano
that the metropolis of the future
will be at the entrance of the Sound
say near the noble straits of Sar
Juan de Fuca, into which sailing
vessel can always run without the
aid of tugs.
