THE NEW ORLEANS DEFAULTER
Crescent city Papers scooped-rbe
Amount Now Reaches s0O,-
OOO--The Defaulter.

New York, June Ga special to
the Sun from New Orleau says; lnves-
legation made by the government of
the defalcation in the United States
sub.treasury in this city was so SO
cretly conducted that even the local
press had no idea of what was going
on. The accounts were examined
May 23rd, and found correct, but on
Saturday another investigation made
by Sample, one of the examining
committee, disclosed a shortage in
the account of j. II. Rutdemorie, the
redemption clerk. Saturday was
decoration day and sort of half
holiday. On Monday morning Ruff
demorte failed to appear at the office,
whereupon the case was put in tho
handsof detectives and the department
at Washington was notified. Every
thing now shows that RufdcmOrtc
managed his flight very skilliully. IL
is supposed by officers that he left
here for Mexico on Sunday, when
therefore on Monday morning the
fact of the dcfalcation became assured
l,utdemorte was in the interior OF
Mexico. When the defalcation first
became known il was estimated by
sub-treasurer Iicrwig at $4,000 but
II Is already shown to be over 100000
and may be much larger. II will not
be possible to determine the exact
amount of loss until all the funds in
the vault had been counted as it is
feared lRufdemorte extracted money
from il. Among RLfdcmorte's papers
were several forged certificates of de-
post on local banks which he had
used to make good his accounts. II
seems that Rufdemorte would have
absconded with much larger sum
had not one of the banks in the city
refused to cash check for $4,000
which he presented on Friday last and
this fact Mr.. Ilurwig said would have
led to the discovery of Ruidcmorte''
defalcation if the bank had reported
the circumstances and he could thcl
have been prevented from leaving th'
| city.

Valencia, June 6.-The cholera cpl
demic is rapidly increasing both in
extent and virulency here and at 9TH
er towns in the southern provinces of
Spain. The peasants continue to
chafe under the restrictions imposed
by the sanitary cordons, and by thei r
wilful neglect of the precautions pre-
scribed by the authorities they invite
and disseminate the disease. The
report that cholera has made its APP
pearance in Madrid is denied by the
Madrid officials, but this was also the
case at Valencia tor many weeks and
until further conccalmcnt became i'm
possible. Color is given to the report
by tho new and stringent sanitary

ful look Of q man who has never known
care. IL Is clear that hc has never known
any rCiuOrsc, and that even his greatest I'M
happiness has left behind no enduring
marks.
An old army officer told me to-day how
Gen. Grant once revived the ilagging cOur-
age Of one uf his staff officers. The latter,
when he was first assigned 10 duty under
Grant, had never been In any serious en-
gagcmcnt. Almost the first day that he re
ported to Grant he was placed under fire
of the hottest and most severe kind. The
screaming Of the balls, the roaring Of the
cannon, and the sharp crack and rattle Of
the muskctry, thoroughly demornlized him.
lie became absolutely sick and paralyZed
with fear lie was 50 weak from nervous
excitement that he lost physical control
over himself. Grant came up at the very
climax Of his fright, aud noticing his pale
face, his blue lips and chatteriug teeth, he
said: Captain, You are frightened. That
IL natural enough You will get over H.
SUPPOSE continued tirant, "l should come
10 you with hat containing ninety.nine
white beans and one black one, and | should
ask you To thrust your hand into the hat at
venture aud pick out the black bean; do
you think your chance Of getting that black
bean would be very goOdy Well, your chance
for being hit under this fire is no greater
than your chance for drawing the black
beam" This officer ut once took heart, and
from then on he never showed the slightest
sign of fear.

the documents he furnished us, should
think that he would be dismissed without
further examination"
"What are the prospects for our securing
q respectable portion Of the South Amcri
can trade, and what must be done IN order
10 effect thisy"
wherever we went IN South America we
found the same condition Of trade with the
exception, perhaps, Of Venezuela. In every
country the superiority Of American goods
was admitted, and the preference for them
Is so great that English and German man
ufaCturers are initiating our trade marks to
deceive the people. We saw any amount
of cotton goods labeled as If they were
from Lowell, Mass, and were never nearer
that place than Liverpool, and any quantity
OF cutlery, axes, hatChets, and other hard
ware that were limitations, even To the trade
marks, Of Connecticut and Rhode Island
manufacturers. We can compete with
European producers IN every line Of mcr-
chand.sc, except railroad iron and fancy
articles, which we import ourselves from
France, provided equal facilities are given
to the trade. But ns long rs II costs twice as
much TO get goods from New York To South
America, as 1t does from Germany and Eng
land, the manufacturers Of those countries
will continue to supply those markets.
Freights from New York TO Valparaiso and
other places on tho west coast Of South
America are about $40 per ton; from Ger
many to those points they are only $50 per
ton. This difference Is caused by the lack
Of competition. Goods shipped to Val
paraisO 90 to Aspinw0ll, and from there
across the isthmus to Panama, where they
are taken on board an English steamer and
carried to their destination. II Is cheaper
to ship them from New York to Hamburg
and from there to Nalparaiso-twicc across
the Atlantic-and quicker. \ great many
American goods 90 to Chilli In that way.
The European shipper has the choice Of five
or six lines, which furnish competition and
cheap transportation.
Every steamer that goes into the port of
Valparaiso is subsidized. Germany pays
81 100000 year In the form of subsidies.
England has paid 2O,OOO,OOO during the
last twenty-five years to build up her trade
with South America. France pays a
bounty on every ton of cargo her steam
ships carry, so that the more freight they
get the larger subsidy they receive, and
thus French frcights are kept down and
| French ships are full. II is expected that
American ships will compete with Euro
pean merchantmen, although the cost Of
running our ships Is Onc-third greater. For
example: An American steamship captain
gets from $4,000 to 5000 year, and will
not sail for less. English captains get
about $1,000; French German, and Span
| isl get about 5000 or -, 800, and the same
| difference In wages extends through the
| whole ships company down To the cabin
/ boy. The bedroom stewards on the Pacific
/ Mail steamers get $50 per month and on
English steamers they get Sl5.
/ Take Venezuela, for instance, with
which we have good steamship cOmmunica-
| tiOn, and the lincis run without Il subsidy in
competition with subsidized English, Ger
/ man. and French lines Our government maid

BoSton's Great Thinker.

One of the pIeasantest incidents Of the
celebration of Oliver Wendell Holiness
seventy-sixth birthday Saturday was the
presentation Of n copy Of II sketch Of the
DOCTORS life, with some of his best poems,
printed In raised letters for the use Of the
blind at the Perkins Institution, thus adding
another most acceptable volume to the
limited literature so prepared for these I'M
fOrtuDates. The doctor declared II to he
"the most delightful experience in his liter
AIRY history" But besides this service for the
blind, over which the doctor Is so happy,
he can felicitate himself that he has done So
much as an American author to open thG
eyes Of reading people generally to the pos
sibilities Of pure and genuine American
humOr as distinguished from the mass of
what is so called and which depends for its
effect upon extrayagant expression and in
correct OrthOgIaphy.
