Mr.. DURNAM,s RESIGNATION
Accepted BY secy Window To Take Effect
at Once.

Accepted BY secy. Window To Take Effect
at Once.
WASHINGTON, April 22-First Comptroller
Durham severed his connection with the treas
ury department to-day. He rendered his resig-
was accepted by Secy. Window to-day TO take
effect at once. There are several explanations
for this action. The one generally accepted by
those who are supposed to be acquainted with
the inside facts is that the first comptroller has
taken a position in several official matters
entirely at variance with the views of the
present administration. The immediate cause
OF the change is due to a personal misunder-
standing between Atty.-Gen. Miller and First
Comptroller Durham in regard to the accounts
OF Mr.. John |. Davenport as supervisor Of
elections in New York. The latter recently
presented vouchers aggregating 1920 for Tex
traOrdinary expenses" incurred during the last
presidential election. These were being exam
ined by the first comptroller, and he signihed
his intention to disallOw them. He had sew
eral conferences with the encouragement on
the subject, which resulted in an open rupture
between the two officials, so much so that the
first comptroller, Friday, ignored two re-
quests from the attorney-general's office. The
Davenport accounts were then taken out OF
his hands and turned over to the attorney-gen-
eral, where they now are. Secy. Window said
this afternoon that he had accepted Mr.. Dur
hams resignation in the ordinary course of
business, not because of any fault with the lat
ters official conduct, but because of several
newspaper articles rejecting upon the admins
tratiOn, which are said to have been inspired
by the first comptroller. The attributed senti-
ments to the first comptroller, If true, must
have made 1t unpleasant for him TO continue in
office under existing circumstances.

only person in the station, with pistol and
demanded the key, which he received. He
then made the agent occupy given position
and proceeded to plumber the safe. He cleaned
it out of everything valuable, securing money
estimated at from $1,000 to $4,000. Among
the booty was one express package of $1,000, a
letter addressed to the PattOnsburg bank
containing 500, and a number of
express packages. He also took all
the express, freight and ticket funds
and robbed the agent of his own money
and valuables The robber then backed out Of
the station, mounted a horse and rode away.

McGee of the Wabash & Western. Mr.. MCGEE
communicated with detectives in st. Louis and
a search for the robber was started, which has

+ In his Grafton at the unveiling 7of
the monument to Confederate sol
diers, at Nashville. Tenn, on the 18th
ult., the Hon. W e. 7. Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, said:
1T Is absolutely certain that there
never can be a revival of the attempt
to have a division of the United
States of America upon any lines
like unto those between the Confed-
crate and Federal governments. That
effort, when it.failed, failed necessa-
rlly forever, and there never was a
more unwlse and unnatural sentiment
than the sentiment out Of which has
grown so much bitterness, that the
people of the south did not recognize
absolutely the complete failure of
the attempt. There never has been
man who deserved to be called a
thinker and soldier who did not
recognize that the surrenders of 1865
were final and irretrievable, and there
has been in no part of the south any
human being that had the slightest
influence who did not know that the
destiny of his children was commin-
gled with that of the United States;
not only SO, but that the growth and
prosperity of his state and section,
possibly its very existence. depended
upon its connection with the United
States. Let US have no misunder-
standing about this matter. The
states that formed the Confederate
Governmental the people resident
therein recognize and have acted
upon that recognition that en-
terprise was forever at an end, and
that the growth and prosperity and
power of their particular States de
pend upon their connection with and
relation to the United States. What
eyer there is IN the future for ths
south is indissolubly interviewer will
the Union of the States. There ma,

and her problems there is no safet,
