"A dangerous counterfeit of the one-dollar
Treasury Notes issued by the general Govern
ment has made its appearance Excepting few
minor discrepancies the spurious note is an exact
fac smiie of the bill. The general appearance
Of the bin is also very good. The green ink is
of somewhat lighter shade than that used on
the genuine, and some parts of the note look
scratched and blurred. The figures l. on the
scroll-work on the lower right corner OF the note
are printed in green; in the genuine they are
white. The face of Chase in the counterfeit is
badly executed. but otherwise the work is well
done, and the note well calculated to deceive


A Washington dispatch says that Govern
ment officers discredit the report Of this
counterfeit.

Ssuty, set to work to Ascertain by resistance
tests whether the fault was in the ship or in the
eighty miles that had been paid out. Trials Of
so delicate a nature and of such vital Importance
to the success of the undertaking were. ofcourse
conducted with the most vigilsnt caution, and
the calculations based upon their data made and
re-made to insure certainty. The result Of all
was q unanimous decision that the fault was not
on beard. but in the eighty miles Of submerged
wire. When this decision had been arrived at,
the cable was at once cut on board the Great
Eastern, and the length under water tested by
Mr.. Saunders With wonderful skill. his tests
at once localized the spot where the fault ex-
isted-eleven miles from the stern Of the ship,
and within quarter Of mile from where it sc-

A new idea connected with the assas.

by the Washington correspondent OF the
PittSbu1 Commercial who says;


1--WE hear it stated that, on the night
of the assassination, there were in the
theatre over 100 persons who had direct
or indirect knowledge of what was to
happen Many of those persons had a
victim selected, but their part of the mnr-
der failed from the fact that the person
selected to tarn off the gas at the crack Of
Booths pistol from some cause or other
failed to perform his part If the gas
had been turned of, Booth would have
escaped recognition. Had Grant been
there he would have fallen an easy vic,
tim. Booth did not expect the failure
of the person to turn off the gas and at
ter the deed was done, had to make the

THE editor of the Cincinnati Gazette,
who has been very eager for other people
to put down the rebellion. is very savage
on Sherman; who, of course, is not half
such a patriot as the editor aforesaid. .
Sherman need not be alarmed, however.
The Gagette ordered Johnson to resign
but Johnson is President now, and is not
likely to resign to please the Gazette. -
The editor may win little eclat amongst
a class of its readers, but the country
will recollect that it owes the dispersion
of the rebel armies more to Sherman than
any other man living. If he is more lib
eral and generous to vanquished enemy
than the stay -at-home patriots. il is quite
natural.

The Chicago correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser gives an interesting account of a
descent which he lately made into the tun-
mel which is being made under Lake Mich
igan for the purpose of supplying the city
Of Chicago with good water. The excava-
tion is about thirty feet under the lake, and
it has attained the length of 4, l40 feet. AT
every thousand feet, side chambers have
been built in which the masons work, it
being found impossible to use the mortar
made above ground. A track extends the
whole length of the tunnel, and the carsare
run out by mules. The bottom of the land
shaft is about seventy-five feet below the
surface of the earth. The party to which
the writer was attached filled two cars,
which, as soon as they were seated, rushed
with them into total darkness, relieved only
by few dim, fickering miner lamps. A
shudder might well thrill each heart to
think that the great inland sea was over
their heads, with only about thirty feet OF
soil between them though 1t was some re-
lief to know that there were five inches of
arch brick between each foot of earth. Gas
is still occasionally met with, but no serious
accidents have happened. Not long since
the workmen heard the paddles of steam
er passing overhead, and 1t caused much
fright; but now it is a common occurrence.
The tunnel is to end about two miles ont In.
the lake, and 1t will probably be completed
by another year.
