Our Washington special on the second
page is unusually interesting. The para
graph in regard to the King-Jones en-
broglio, which has broken out in new
place, is especially so. Jones means blood,
which is foolish. What he ought to do is
to produce proofs to sustain the charges
he alleges. If be has them, their publica-
ton would infiict irreparsble damage upon
personal safety. Whereas, if he killed
King, or the later killed him, there would
not be anything gained but murder. II
Jones proves his statements, King would
no doubt feel ten thousand times over as
If he would rather be dead.

Memphis respecting reports Of 1900 tons
of cotton-seed being received there "unft

Memphis correspondents inform the Re
porter that not over thirty tons Of damaged

the Memphis mills: "They hsve right
to be exercised over a matter which con.

as Memphis cotton-seed oil always ranked
high in the commercial world, it is bat
proper that the purchasing public should

ADJUSTMENTS
John Jack AZ FaIsiaH.

At the Memphis Theater last night Mr..
John Jack appeared in his famous
role of ''Falsiaff," iu which. he
enjoys a reputation of which he is
proud, with good reason. He labored
under the disadvantage OF mesger COM
pany and poor facilities for the prtsen:a-
ton Of the gorgeous seen C effects SO nee
essary to give body, force and real sense
Of satisfaction in play Of the kind. That
MIR. Jacks conception of "Falstsff" is the
correct one there can be no doubt, and his
familiarity with the part enabled him to
make it acceptable in spite OF his bald and
pAltry Acknowledgements which
would have been ample tor another play,
perhaps, but which rendered Henry / Y a
rather tame affair. Miss Annie F.rmin
made charming Prince Hal" She has
very shapely figure, graceful move
ment and very good voice, and entered
into the spirit OF the part with zsst and
esrneslness which, in view of the small
audience, was very commendable. The
re emainder of the company was fair. Az
other performance will be given at matt.

GEN. RosECRANs, Register Of the Treas
ury, has unearthed a great robbery of
the Treasury through Mr.. George 7.
Jones, one OF the Oldest of the expert
engravers Of the country, and a former
member OF celebrated firm of bank en-
gravers in Cincinnati. When Salmon P.
Chase was Secretary of the Treasury
Mr.. Jones was called TO Washington
for consultation, and while there dis
covered that greenbacks were being
issued without proper checks. And he
also un sarthed the fact that between
S13,OOO,OOO and Sl4,OOOOO0 of coupon
bonds had been duplicated and issued,
Mr.. Spinner cor -ssing 10 him that he had
in the aggregate SOS coo of the coupons OF
such bonds in his possession. As to the
fraudulent issue OF greenbacks, Mr.. Jones
agrees with two other witnesses that when
Mr.. Dorsey went ont TO Indiana in $50,
the Republicans shipped him 100000 iu
81 greenbaeks. This money came to Mr..
Dorsey in sheets. The government never
issues its money in this way. Gen. Rose
Grams, now Register Of the Treasury, there
fore, argues that this is an evidence of
fraudulan issue.
