GEoRGIA's TAX OFFSET.
The Revolutionary Claim Decided
Against the State.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The first Comp.
troller of the Treasury has rendered a
decision in the case involving the right OF
the United States to apply the money ap-
propriated by Congress to the State OF
Georgia as a set off against the quota OF
the direct taxes apportiOned to that State
by the direct tax act of August 8, 1861.
He holds that the act of March 3. 1888. to
refund to the State of Georgia certain
money expended by said State for the
common defense in 1777 does not in any
respect affect or suspend the law requir-
ing the accounting officers of the Treasury
department to make a set off, and is not
mandatory in the sense of repeating or
suspending any prior existing statute. The
same rule now applied to the State of
Georgia has been applied to the tates of
Kansas, West Virginia and Missouri. The
balance certified by the First Comptroller
May %, 1868, as due to the United States
from the State of Georgia for its quota of
the direct tax has not been in any form
set aside or rendered imperative.
The debt statement issued to-day
shows the decrease of the public debt
during the month of May to be $780,
476 60, the cash in the Treasury $3l7, $685.
062 81, the gold certificates outstanding
$S3, 46O,94 the silver certificates out
standing $50, ,O33, 1881, the certificates of de-
pOsit outstanding $11, 500, 900, the refund
ing certificates $35S, 900, the legal tenders
$346, 1851, ,0l6, the fractional currency out
standing $7,003,59S 81, and the cash bal
ance available $131, ,549,531 AZ.
A post office to be called Langley was
to-day established in Emanuel county,
Georgia.
Upon the application of Gov. O'Neal, of
Alabama, the Secretary of the Interior
has consented to allow a rehearIng of the
land grant case of the Alabama and Chat
tanooga Railroad Company, in which
there is a difference of opinion with
regard to the intent and effect of the grant
ing act.
Secretary Teller rendered a decision in
this case on the 21st of last December, but
as the Legislature of Alabama does not
agree with his Interpretation of the law,
and as the case is an important one, he
expresses his entire willingness to hear
further argument in order that the State
may be fully satisfied.

MALONE LOSING POWER.
The Presidents Confidence in the Read
justers Shaken


Washington Special to PhiIadeIDhid Press,
1t is possible that the recent elections
IN Virginia may in some degree AFFECT the
relations which have existed between
Senator Malone and the administration
The former has controlled the Federal
patronage of the State absolutely, and the
adverse criticisms of the Northern press
upon the systems of rewards and punish
ments adopted by the Virginia Senator
have shaken the Presidents confidence in
the wisdom of turning over to him the Vir-
glnla Ofhces. The recent elections seem
to prove that, with all his resources and
his wonderful organization, he has been
unable to prevent serious disaffection in
the ranks of the Readjusters. 1t is be-
neVed here that the heavy falling off in
the Readjuster vote is mainly due to the
fact that faithful henchmGn of Malone
have not received the official rewards they
expected.
The Senator, however, cannot be blamed
because there are not enough offices to go
around. The Readjusters attribute their
set back to the circumstance that the
negroes at this busy season of the year
were unable to leave the farms to vote.
Inc returns thus far received, although
not complete, cover all sections of the
state, and show that in several OF the Re-
adJuster stronghOlds the party has been
