A Teller I'm the Treasury Gives n Boy
$4,000 Too Much ana the Boy Hides II.
Ono of the paying tellors of the Treasury
department on Friday overpaid messenger
of one of the downtown banks by $4,000. The
messenger apparently determined to take ad-
vantage of the mistake and hid tho money in
a room in the bank building and the chief Of
the secret service subsequently recovered it
and returned il to the treasurer. No steps
have as yet been taken TO proceed against
the boy. Tho overpayment occurred
in this way: The paying teller, in
adjusting a deposit of the bank, misread
statement, which was badly blotted, and paid
the messenger $4,000 in excess of the amount
due. The mistake was not discovered until the
cash account was balanced at the close of the
day. Upon inquiry at the bank it was shown
that only the proper amount had been re-
ceivcd. The chief of the secret service i'm.
mcdately went to the bank and sum
moned the messenger, boy 16 years
of age. The chief charged him with
having the money, and the boy admitted it,
stating that he intended to return it. The
package was small, containing three one
thousand dollar bills one five hundred dollar
bill, and one one hundred dollar bill. Tho
money was returned TO the treasurer, who
was very anxious about il. The paying
teller cannot explain his careessness.

MIR. Dezendorr Has an Interview with
the Postmaster GenerRl-IIis Reply 10
Recent Letter In "The Republican,"
Ex-Representative Dezendorf, of Virginia,
called upon Postmaster General Gresham
yesterday afternoon. He was informed by
General Gresham that if he desired to ad-
dress him ON the subject of improper con-
duct on the part of postmasters in Virginia
he should do it directly, and not through the
. newspapers; and that if he had any charges
to make against the postmasters ut Norfolk,
or elsewhere, and would formulate them, the
department would take the charges under
consideration and hear anything that he or
any other citizen Of Virginia might wish to
say on the subject. The postmaster general
also informed Mr.. DezendOrf that the case of
tho postmaster at Norfolk, against whom
certain charges had been published, was
already in the hands of the proper officers of
the department, who had been instructed to
examine into the case Mr., DeaendOrf be-
foro leaving the department expressed him
self entirely satisfied with the result of his
interview and said he would shortly present
sundry charges for the consideration Of the
department..
10 thc Editor
NORFOLK, VA, May 26.-Sir: My attention
has been called to Il letter published by you,
dated Portsmouth, Na May %, 1858, signed
by John IL. Burroughs, esq.
Mr. Burroughs inclOscs a circular (also pub
lshcd) sent by me TO the employees Of the
yard in 1873 and asserts that he was dis
rated as quarterman of shipwrights, because
che positively refused TO make the collection"
The truth of the matter is, that Mr.. Bur-
roughs on that occasion, used language re-
ilecting upon tho Hon. James ii. Platt, thon
the member of congress from the second dis
trict of Virginia, unfit for publication, which,
being reported to Platt, led to the removal of
Burroughs, and the appointment of Curling in
his place. 1 believe Curling had been major
in the confederate army.
This case bears no comparison 10 those COM
planned of by me in my letter Of the eleventh
Instant to tho honorable secretary of the
navy, in which instances Of tho removals Of
union men and republicans were for no cause
except the Fright Of opin, on"
IL is true that issued the circular referred
to in 1873, but il is not true that in 1873 or
at any other time, did l ever ask or recon-
mend the removal of or in any way intimi-
date coerce, or use any improper influence
to urge the payment of days pay, or any
other sum for political purposes, or remove
any republican holding position or place who
failed to support me for nomination or cleo
ton,
Public sentiment having resulted in an act
Of congress prohibiting those Practices which
law / supported and voted for when in con
gross, / am now in favor of its enforcement.
Respectfully, yours,
JOHN i. DEzENDoRF.

W.N. W. DORSEY DEAD.

One by one our old and respected citizens are
dropping of, and it Is with sadness that We
announce TO the readers Of the CHRONICLE the
death Of one Of our most useful men, W. n. W
DORSEY, who passed peacefully to orestat IL O'Clock
on Monday night April 10Th, 1888, He was born
in 1912 [It is claimed BY several that Mr.. Dorsey
was in his 18th year. but this is mistake, which
il explained as follows: in early life he was in
dentured to learn the tailois art and in those days
boy was bound until he was twenty-one years Of
age; but Mr. Dorsey did not desire to serve a
longer apprenticeship, than was actually necessary
to thoroughly master his chosen avocation. Ac-
cordingly be had the indenture papers filed up
with the year Of his birth placed az 1908, by which
he gained four years This also explains why Mr.
Dorsey was prevailed upon to vote over fifty yeais
ago but he never made oath at that time 70 his
beirg ofage This information was given to the
editors OF Tie CnRoNIotr, by MIR Dorsey several
month previous to his death. EDS
lie held many important Offices in the commu-
nifty in which he lived aud died, and his name will
long be remembered az Synonymous with public
Improvement. For several years he followed bis
trade, from which he saved the money with which
he afterward made a fortune He served a term as
postmaster Of Milford one term as Justice Of The
Peace for Kent County, one term as Clerk Of the

The Transcript of Middletown, says
that, the Smyrna lamp-lighter regu-

Of by the cOmmOn-sense rule that
street lamps should be lighted when
ever light is needed, whether there is
4 moon ripe or not. Tuesday night
was dark night There was tender
young moon, scarcely old enough to
De out alone. but the Sky was overcast,
md it gave no light on the subject.
And though there was an entertain
nent in the town that brought many
strangers, including one friendless or
)han who was twelve miles away from
lOme in a strange land, not street
amp sent forth a cheering ray. Thel
lamp-lighter Of long ago
vas accustomed to regulate bis light
ng business by the almanac, but the
Transcript persuaded him out of the
way oft. Smyrna should let her light
0 shine that even a friendless Orghan
rom far away could not get estray."
IilfOrd has long been lighted on
,myrna's principle, and tie CHRONI-
LIE has been pefsuading the commits
toner's for years to burn the lights on
