The New Postal Roguery.

PORTLAND, OREGON, June ga spe.
cial from Lewiston, Idaho, gives more
fully tho story Of the defalcation Of Isaac
Ifihbs, postmaster at Lewiston. He
was appointed in March, 1854 Last
January the registered mail pouch was
robbed, but an official investigation
developed nothing, and the affair was
eventually forgotten. On May Hibbs
left for an alleged silver mine on the
Upper Columbia. The postal inspector,
alarmed at his continued absence, inves.
tigated the affairs Of the office and found
in Hibbs's writing receipts for large
number Of registered mail pouches, des.
tined for the fictitious names in different
postoffices supplied from Lewiston. The
modus operandi was as follows Lewis.
ton is distributing point for large
number Of Offices in Northern Idaho and
Eastern Washington Territory. Hibbs
would issue money order in fictitious
name at this Office, drawn in favor Of a
bank in Iowa, where the orders were
payable. The customary letter Of advice
was forwarded to the paying postmaster.
Hibbs then wrote to the bank that he
would shortly visit town, enclosed the
money orders and requested the bank TO
cash them and place the amounts on
deposit to his credit until he arrived.
Later he wrote to the bank that he could
not make the contemplated visit, and
requested that draft for the amount Of
money on deposit be returned by regis
tered mail to the fictitious names at
tached to the money orders, aud always
at some office where the mail passed
through Lewiston. When the drafts
arrived Hibbs signed the fictitious names
and returned the receipt cards, and the
transaction was completed. Money
orders are limited TO 5000 in favor of one
person, but with forethought and judi.
cious distribution of dates and places an
opening offers through which unscrupu
lous postmasters could bankrupt the
United States. The amount of defalca.
ton exceeds $4,000, and is expected to
reach $4,000. The postal inspector
gays that these robberies will neceasitate
the authorities recognizing the money
order system of the United States and
elsewhere. The scheme is surprisingly
simple and the officers are surprised that
it was never thought of and worked
before.
John Evans, cashier of the First Ma.
tional Bank, VIM. KiltoHback, cashier
Of the Lewiston National Bank, and
Alexander, Thiesser and Woodwork,
were Hibbs's bondsmen for $4,000.
Alexander and Thiesser were secured
before Hibbs left. Hibbs was last seen
on May 80, at the second crossing Of the
Canadian Pacific Road on his way to
Missoula and Helena for the purpose of
cashing drafts ordered to be sent to those
places.

The Condition OF the Crops.

Information received from the cotton
belt shows that the crop prospects are
more favorable than at this time last year.
The stands generally are good and the
weather propitious.
In Texas the acreage planted shows an
increase of per cent. over last year, and, !,
although in some parts of the State the
stands are poor and the fields badly sin
the grass" still the prospect, taxing the
state as whole, is Us good as, if not bet
ter than last year.
In Arkansas the stands are better than
last year. The crop looks we'll though it
is about ten days late. The fields are
free from grass and the weather has been
good. There has been about per cent.
increase in the acreage. In Mississippi
the prospect is good for the State ut large
In some sections rains have done slight
damage. There has been but a small
increase in the acreage. The fields are
free from grass and the plants though
small are strong. In Louisiana there has
been marked increase in the acreage,
and in st. Joseph Parish alone this
increase has reached so per cent. The
stands are good, but the growth Of the
plant has been somewhat retarded by the
cool weather which prevailed early in the
| seasos.
In Alabama the crop prospects are
generally favorable. Good stands are
reported, but the plant has been retarded.
There has been slight increase in the
acreage planted. The condition of labor
is good. In some sections there is too
much grass in the fields and rains have
been prevalent.
In Georgia the crop reports are good,
with an increase in the acreage planted
over last year. The stands are all good
and the plants strong. More fertilizers
have been used than last year. Labor is
plentiful.

during the past ten days have done harm.
In South Carolina the reports from the
interior show that the condition of the
crop could hardly be better. There has
been a slight increase in the acreage.
Larger quantities of fertilizers have been
used than ever before. Labor is plenti-
full. Rains have done no damage. The
crop is about ten days late. There have
been no complaints of grass.

New Cotton Plchiog Machine.

To relieve the slow, tedious and

of open cotton, which is delivered to the
receptacle absolutely free from dirt OF
every description.
The capacity OF the machine is meas
ured by the number Of acres 1t can be
drawn over in q given time, and the
amount of open cotton it then encoun'
ters. For instance, if there were half
bale to the acre, and it were drawn over
eight acres a day, this would not be an
excessive load for two horses. AS the
machine weighs about 800 pounds, it
would pick out four bales day, thus
doing the work of sixty hands. AT this
rate the machine would gather cotton at
a cost of less than one dollar per bale.
The Scientific american of May 8, has a
diagram OF Mr. CharIes's machine, and
says i, is simple in construction, its parts
few and not liable to arrangement, and II
removes the cotton, whether from high
or low plants, efficiently and rapidly, and
leaves the plants comparatively unlnJured.
The machine has not yet been put to
practical test and hence its merits arc
problematical.

AN UNsUsrA1NED DENIAL.

The Columbia Register, Us we expected,
pays especial attention to the article OF
the INTELLIaENCER of last week, and
pursues its usual course of venomous
vituperatiou. 1t views the whole field Of
its differences with the INTELL1GEEcER,
and as to the first article from which we
dissented, and which gave to the Register
such mortal ohense that journal rciter.

Among the candidates for the office OF
Clerk of the State Senate, there is no
one better qualified to discharge accepta
bly, the duties Of the position than Capt.
Vincent +. Martin, Of Andersonyillc.
Capt. bartin is son of General Martin,
who was for many years Clerk of the
Senate, and upon several occasions
helped his father in the discharge Of the
duties of the office, or in his absence
took his place. He is graduate of the
South Carolina College, an accomplished
gentleman and most honorable man in
all of the affairs of life. If he is elected,
the Senate will not only have a cour-
teous, efficient and faithful officer, but
will have most accomplished and
pleasant gentleman In the place. Capt.
Martin was q valiant soldier during the
war, lnd has been an active and faithful
Democrat since the war. Not only would
his friends be delighted to SEQ him &C.
corded the position, but Anderson County
would be gratifled to see an honor 80
worthily bestowed upon one of her citi-
zens. We hope the Senate will favorably
consider his candidacy.
In the death of Curran II. Sloan,
which occurred at his home in Green.
vile on Sunday night, noble and useful
life has been cut down as it was verging
upon the meridian Of mature manhood,
whose past has been one Of honorable
and unsslish devotion to all those duties
which fell so heavily upon many young
men of his age, as the result of the dis.
asters which followed the late war.
Many of our citizens will remember with
pleasure the brave and wonderfully sue.

ness of life, and not only was he able to

success which he achieved. The death
of such man at such an ago Is loss to

that this letter does not refute charge
