and capture OF robbers, five in number,
whose camp was on the line between Utah
and Nevada, west Of Salt Lake City, who

officers and midshipmen resigned. The
first and second classes decline the posi-.
tions. Most OF the first class are under ar

The cause OF the trouble was Cadet
Woodruff, OF the first class, who was re-

asserted on his honor TO fAlsehood which
he acknowledged in writing afterward, he
was reduced 10 the ranks.

Tur IIouseo Delegates has wisely agreed
10 Dr. Simonton's resolution calling on the
Auditor TO furnish information on which
ouytax bill illhaye to be based. There was
nothing TO say against the resolution, and
lbis, probably, is why Messrs. Daley, Holt
,oe Isbell said nothing when they talked
,painst it. II the State government is to
be run agreeably to the Constitution the
IA, rate will have to be raised 10 meet the
existing deficiency and provide for esti-
mated expenditures. The dodging policy
ba, been tried, but it does not make both
ends meet.

Tnx passage OF u tariff bill by this Con-
sns is possible-he would be a rash
prophet who would venture further. The
Democrats do not desire Q tariifmeasure to
pass, and they are strong enough to do a
yreat deal OF effective obstructing. They
can talk against time in the Senate, and
the small majority will be powerless to
shut them of. Last session they talked
the internal revenue reduction bill into its
grave; they may have reserved like fate
lot the tariirbiIl. The matter having gone
thus far, to the embarrassment OF business,
it ought 10 be settled before Congress ad-
joun. 1t ought not, however, to be settled
by a slaughteripg compromise that will be
ayictOry for ioreign manufacturers.

New YoRK, January 3l.-The defalca-
ton OF State Treasurer Vincent, OF Ala.
bama, caused greatsurprisc. Vincent had
q large acquaintance on Wall street, stood
well, and wss liked. The clerks ut the OF.
flee Of Fred X. Wolfe referred inquiries to
the Chief for the nature and ex-
tent OF the business done. Wolfe
this evening refused 10 speak upon the
subject. The Importers and Traders Bank
paid the January interest. Vincent having
sent the money in advance, as was his Gus
tom, the bank loses nothing. The police
secured tho hotels for Vincent. Although
not found, it is believed that he is in the
city; The defa!cation, it is thought, will
interfere with the arrangement to take up
the County bonds at nineteen cents on the
dollar.

A PHENOMENAL DARKNESS.


In Birmingham phenomenal darkness
prevails and some OF the streets are strewn
with debris. At Stoke.on.Trent heavy rain
has fallen without ceasing Tor the last
twenty four hours. In North StaiIordshire
the rivers along the Trent Valley and
Churnet Valley oveiilowed in some places
and miles ot land are submerged. At
Newbury terrific storm OF wind and rain
swept over that part OF Berkshire last night,
and up to Ii o'clock this morning there is
no sign OF abatement. The floods are ris-
ing rapidly. AtKennett Valley and Wake
field rain has fallen in torrents, accom-
panied by very high winds. During the
night and this morning the lower part, ol
the valley have been inundated and the
waters are still rising. The river Calder
oveitlowed its banks, and the lower hoors
Of some Of the large grain warehouses and
malt kilns have been flooded.
IN TIE VALLEY on TIiE SEVERN.
A terrible gale passed over the lower
Severn Valley last night. Large tracts o
land are inundated and the floods threaten
10 become very serious. At Cardiff the
storm continues and several fresh casual
lies are reported. In Bristol channel
steamer is said to have gone down, with all
hands, of Porheawal. There is much de-
lay in telegraphic communication between

METEOROLOGICAL REpolsr.

The Meteorological Office report this
morning says that the weather over our
islands remains exceedingly rough and
unsettled. A condition Of well defined de-
preston lies between the Shetlands and
the west coast Of Norway, while a deep
subsidiary disturbance seems to be ad.
yancing toward the southwest OF England,
the barometer falling generally. The wind,
fresh or strong from the west on our more
northern coasls, blows strong gale from
the southwest in the Channel and Bay Of
Biscay. In the course Of last evening or
during the night fresh or strong gale
blew on all our coasts and during the night
aud morning the storm in the Midlands
increased in violence. In the country dis
triCts trees were uprooted and thousands Of
acres laid under water. '"i

APARrSER FOR POLK.
The state Treasurer ofAIabnmn Defaults
for q Nent sum.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, January Sl.-There
is great excitement here. The committee
to examine the books and accounts OF
State Treasurer Vincent were TO begin an
examination Yesterday. Vincent left the
city on Monday night, and letter from
him TO his chief clerk was delivered to the
latter late yesterday afternoon. He laid it
before the Governor. Vincent said he
was behind, but was going to New York to
get the money, which the latter indicated
he had loaned. An examination Of the
books, cashiers, and others late last night,
shows that vincent had speculated largely
in cotton futures. The deficit, as far US
can be learned, is between S225, 600 and
100000. The Governor has sent mes
sage TO the Legislature.
The committee counted the money in
the Treasury vault and found Sl59, 900. The
deficit is $227, 900, amply secured by good
bondsmen. It has developed that the
money was taken in the last two years and
nearly all before November last.
Vincent, by the statement Of the witness
before the committee, lost over 100000 in
cotton through one honse, Fred Wolfe,
and some through others 1t is surlnised
that he may have loaned come. There
has been some talk since he bought a
house, rich furniture, carriage and horses.
The Governor has taken charge Of the
keys OF the treasury. The default will not
interfere with the business Of the State in
the least or cause any interruption 10 the
regular payment OF warrants. The January
interest is all paid.
