Chester A. Arthur. A DEFICIENCY Discovered in the Accounts ol the Na* tiontil Soldiers’ Home During Butler’s Term ol Olliee. Boston, March 1. A Washington special to the Sunday paper stated that the House military committee had discovered an apparent deficiancy of over $2,000 in the accounts of the National Sol diers's Home during the time that Gen. But ler was president ami treasurer.and that Gen. Rosecrans, chairman of the committee, had notified him of the fact, asking for an expla nation. In reply, Gen. Butler criticises the action ot the committee in “allow ing to be telelegraphed as special matter to a jour* nal. which 1 have had occasion to sue for libel and in whose hands it would seem to the public that the committee were playing the records of the committee before they are complete." Since this matter has gone from your committee room," he says, “I have no interest whether this matter goes into your committee’s report or not. and should take no further steps if time permitted me to do so, which 1 told you it did not; To vindicate myself or my associates on the board of managers, because, if, as you claim these errors are apparent upon the face of the reports, it was as gross a negligence for the auditing committee to permit such errors to exist as tor me to make them." He adds that these matters can be fully ventilated in the courts without newspaper interference. THE PHILADELPHIA STRIKE. The Excitement in the City l nnb»teU— Women and Children Knocked |»ouii and Trampled I'pon. Philadelphia. Feb. 28. The excitement in the vicinity of Kesing ton carpet mills was unabated today. By 4 o’clock an immense crowd had collected at Lcedom’s mill, where Cameron and Stevens, non-union loom fixers, are employed. Five policeman assembled ami at four o clock a l4 ,ad of officers began to clear Howard It, ct. The crowd fled, but at York street yra e stopped by a solid body of spectators TJt beat extended across and down that ft, et for a block. The officers rtien began to ise clubs ami. crying children, shrieking yre nen and cursing men, coupled with shouts he polic. made the scene perhaps un pn edented in the city. Women and chil oreu were knocked down and trampled upon and several of them sustained severe injuries The officers, however, were sucsessful in i clearing the streets and no arrests were made. After the streets were cleared the looni-flxers were escorted by a large squads j of policemen to their homea and no attack i was made upon them by the mob. FORTY-EIGHTH COYGRESN. Second Seaalon. SENATE. _ Wasrihgtoh. Feb. 28. The chair laid before the Senate a letter from the attorney general, stating that the deficiency bill, as passed by the House, suffi ciently provides for the expenses of juries in connection with United States courts, not more than one-half the eitimatea having in anv case been allowed. A number of private pension bills were reported and placed on the calendar. The substitute for the river snd harbor bill was read the second time and referred to the committee on commerce. Mr. Mitchell offered the following pream ble and resolution Whereas, The commercial value of silver has so far depreciated that the standard silver dollars coined under the act of 1878 are now worth but 82 cents in the open market; and. Whereas, The coinage of such depre ciated dollars, now amounting to nearly $200, 000,000, has seriously threatened the suspen sion of gold payment by the government from necessity and the consequent banishment of gold coin from all circulation. Therefore, Kesolved, That the committee on finance prepare and report to the Senate a proper bill to provide for the immediate suspension of the coinage jf standard silver dollars, and for the resumption of such coinage whenever the commercial value of the standard dollars aforesaid shall rise to within five percent, of the value of the standard gold dollars of the United States. Mr. Mitchell (lien asked unanimouB consent to have the resolution considered at once, and have read in connection with the resolu tion a very important letter from a distin guished person just published on the silver question. Objection was made, and tiie matter went over one day. The Senate then took up the House bill to forfeit the United States lands granted to the State of Iowa, and on the construction of the Sioux City St. Paul railroad. Pending the debate on the bill to forfeit the lands granted to the State of Iowa to aiil in tile construction of tile Sioux City St. Paul railroad, the House bill providing for the erection of public buildings in several cities, was taken up and passed On motion of Mr. Hoar, the Senate re solved that when it should adjourn today it would be to !1 o’clock Monday morning. A message having been received from the House announcing disagreement with the Senate on the postofflce appropriation bill, the Senate insisted on its amendments. The House hill was passed authorizing the collector of New York to deliver a bill of duty to A. B. Vunllusen on the silver cup won by him at Wimbledon, Eng as a member of the American rifle association. The debate on tile Sioux City St. Paul forfeiture bill was resumed. Pending the debate the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. M essrs. Thomas of Illinois and Cox of New York made brief, personal explanations, in which they stated that a few days ago they bad given Capt. G W. Davis the credit of having strengthened the foundation of the Washington monument, which they had since learned should have been given to Col. Casey. Mr. Wells of Iowa, rising to a parliament ary inquiry, asked the speaker whether the effect of the sundry civil bill passed yester day. was to retire the one and two dollar treasury notes. He had been informed that such would be the effect. The speaker decided that this was not a parliamentary inquiry. Mr. Dibrell of Tennessee submitted a con ference report on the agricultural appropria tion hill, and it was agreed to The House then proceeded to the consider- ation of the Senate amendment to the post office appropriation hill. The recommenda tions of the appropriation committee were! generally followed. It was voted down, how- j ever, on its recommendation of non-concur- rence in the amendment permitting sin- j gle copies of second class publications to he j transmitted through the mails at one cent per pound, and the amendment was concurred in. The amendment relative to the cotnpensa- i tion to American steamships for carrying the j mails, was non concurred in. All the amendments having been disposed i of, Messrs Townshend, Holman and Horr wi re appointed conferees upon the disagree ing votes of the two Houses. The naval appropriation hill w ith the Sen ate amendments was taken from the speaker's table and referred to the committee on appro priations. The House then went into committee of the whole on the fortification bill, the general debate being limited to two hours. Mr. Horr of Michigan supported the Ellis substitute, which appropriates $4,834,000. For the past ten years the fortification bill passed by Congress h:\4i been of no benefit to j the country. He did not know what the I opinion of the incoming administration was on the subjnct, but he took occasion to com pliment Cleveland's letter on the silver dollar and said incidentally that the only thing he regretted was that such pearls had to he cast before such congressmen. The latter rec ognized the fact that the American Congress ought to take care of the interest of the nation and ought to do something to prevent the impending difficulties that hung over the financies of the country. Had anybody a letter from the President on the subject of fortification? Had he said anything on this question as he had upon the bogus dollar question? The President had started right, hut ten chances to one he would have to rely upon the business sense of the republicans of the House in order to win this Mr. Cosgrove ot Missouri suggested that Mr. Horr deserved a cabinet position. Mr. Horr declined to be the 179th appli cant for such a position, hut he suggested that Cleveland would have some trouble in finding men in his own party who would rise to the magnificent comments contained in his letter. He Horr'i was frank enough to say 1 that the letter disappointed him favorably. Mr. Reed of Maine said the democratic 1 party had now a chance of doing something. For the last 2.7 years the only duty which it had was that of finding fault, i'll? House had had two examples of tbe democratic party in positive action. One was on the naval bill, when it undertook to construct the navy bv dismissing everybody who legiti mately belonged to the business of construct ing the navy, and now here was a bill for the consideration of ordinance by wholesale con tract, and having in it one of the costliest jobs ever presented for the consideration of Congress. It seemed to him that the lan guage of the bill was prepared for the purpose of building a particular kind of guns, and giving one ebctaactor the benefit of ^il con tracts hereafter. After remarks on the pending bill by differ ent members, the discussion veered "around to Cleveland's letter. Mr. Dorsheimer thought the speech made 1 by Mr. Horr in eulogy of Cleveland, and in dicated that the gentleman was coming over to the democratic party. Mr. Horr expressed no surprise that the j gentleman from New York should think be was about to go over to the democratic party, because he remembered that not very long ago the gentleman was a rousing good repub lican; (laughter) but that was not his style. He did not see why the gentleman should complain, because he (Horr) was able to dis cover a little common sense in one democrat in the United States. Mr. Warner said that notwithstanding the care with which Cleveland's letter had been prepared, notwithstanding the candor with which the views of the President-elect had been formulated in this particular, he was mistaken. The condition of things which was predicted in the public press as about to take place, was an impossibility. It was im possible that this currency should go below the par of gold. It was not in the power of all the banks in this country, aided by all the banks of London, to put gold to a premium and keep it there, so long as the volume of money was kept down aside from gold to *750,000,000. The bill was read for amendment. On motion of Mr. Reed of Maine, the para graphs were stricken out which prescribe the calibre of guns to be manufactured, and the manner in which they shall be tested. The committee then rose, reported the bill to the House, and it was passed. This is the last of the appropriation biils. The conference report on the army appro priation bill was submitted and agreed to. Adjourned. AN IMPORTANT LETTER From Secretary Frelinghuysen Concern ing the Nicaraguan and Clayton* llulwer Treaties. Washington, March 1. A letter w ritten by Secretary Frelinghuv sen in explanation and support ot the Nicara guan treaty, with especial reference appar ently to newspaper criticisms upon it, is made public today. The letter is addressed to Sen ator Miller, chairman ot the Senate commit tee on foreign affairs. The secretary in dis cussing the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, says: “The Clayton-Bulwer treaty, like any sim ilar document. w as a contract obligatory upon one of the parties in the case of default or violation oi its provisions by the other.” The secretary then briefly reviews the cir cumstances under which the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was entered into, and sajs: “The treaty whs signed April ID, 1850. more than 34 years ago. It had no clause limiting its duration, hut the fact that one of the con tracting parties has not during this long peri od fulfilled the obligations imposed upon it as consideration for the share in the canal grant, would alone be sufficient to authorize the other to terminate its contract- The United States agreeing not to occupy or colonize any part of Central America, have strictly ob served the obligation they assumed. It cannot be denied that Great Britain, on the contrary, has converted the settlement of licensed wood cuiters under Spanish-American jurisdiction, into a political appendage of the British gov ernment. Her Majesty’s government has en tirely neglected to evince any intention of fulfilling the provisions of the treaty of 1850. No offer ha-* been made to aid in the con struction of the canal nor has any intention been manifested in removing the British political control from Beliz, or restoring its territory to the Spanish-American States, which, in 1850, there had political jurisdic tian. Turning to the treaty with Nicaragua, it is not apparent wherein that instrument before the Senate conflicts with the provis ions of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, if the latter was principally intended to carry out its object by guaranteeing protection to capi tal of private citizens or subjects of con tracting nations. The arrangement with Nicaragua is en tirely different, for no private capital is to be j invested. Contracting governments alone are interested, and the Clayton-Bulwer treaty cannot apply to it unless that treaty should be I so modified by new and specific mutual agree ment as to admit Great Britain to partnership In the enterprise. The Nicaraguan treaty now before the1 Senate is not a violation of the treaty with Great Britain, for the latter contemplate? private ownership, while the former is a gov- ernmental enterprise without political control intended for open communication between the two oceans without discrimination in favor of any nation. The secretary reviews the provisions of i the treaty and says: “The necessity for this canal must lie apparent The question pre sented, therefore, is w hether it i« to he built by this county or some other. Any work of this magnitude when owned by individuals must necessarily he under practical control of the government whose citizens are most largely inteaested and whose rights and property it must protect in case of attack or threatened injury.” In conclusion the searetary says Refer ring to file Nicaraguan treaty, the advantages are manifold. It intends to prevent alien control or encroachment on this continent from interfering in anv way with free and independent sovereignty of Nicaragua and without discriminating against other nations. It knits our country more closely together bv bringing the two coasts into easy commu nication by sea with each other, and gives us numerous other advantages. Europe and Asia are brought nearer together, and other foreign countries are greatly benefited. CLEVELAND’S IN ACCU R AL. Preparations to Prevent its Premature Publication. Albany, Feb. 28. A despatch from Albany to the New York World says that Mr. Cleveland has finished his inaugural address. It is even shorter that at fir«t expected: not over three-fourths of a column long. The greatest precautions are tak« n to prevent its premature publica tion. It is put in type in Albany, but the type is distributed as fast as the proofs are correced and the slips are kept under lock and key. The document will aot be given out at Albany, hut at W’ashington, and not until Wednesday morning, when the as sociated press will distribute it among the journals belonging to it. Mr. Cleveland will probable depart for Washington on Tuesday morning, accompa nied by his brother. Rev. James Cleveland of Fayetteville, New York, his two sisters,! Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt, and Col. David S. Lamont and wife. A meeting of the Commercial Bank of Al-! bany. of which Daniel Manning is president, will be held tomorrow for the purpose, it is said, of selecting a successor to Mr. Man ning. who will undoubtedly resign to accept the secretaryship of the treasury Adjutant General Farnswaith gave a dinner party to President Fleet Cleveland this even ing. The question of allowing representa tives of the press to accompany the train taking Cleveland to Washington, Tuesday morning, will be decided Monday. Prof. Buckland, late deputy minister of agriculture of the Dominion, was seized with a fit in the street in Toronto, Friday night. A policeman aot knowing him took him to the police station, where he died Saturday morning. FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington. Feb 28. It is estimated that a decrease of a little more than $3,000,000 in the public dept dur ing February has been made. Vice President-elect Hendricks called at the While House today in company with Henry P. Pierce of Indianapolis and the in augural reception committee and paid his re spects to the president. Secretary McCulloch said today, in speak ing of the silver question, that while he re gretted the action of the House of Kepreson tatives, he thought that there was no dan- ger of the ceuntrv being brought to a silver standard at an early day. The possibility of an extra session is again a subjuct of comment among Congressmen. The Senate committee on appropriations has before it as much work for the next three and a half days, including Sunday, as it would undertake to perform in as many j weeks if the session were a long one. Mem- j bers of the committee express hopes that they will be able to present the remaining bills to the Senate in time for action, but to do so will require them to work night and day. The grand jury today returned an indict- j ment for embezzlement against D. W. Mid- dleton and S. E. Middleton Co., bankers. A number ot indictments were found against Daniel Carrigan. late chief clerk of the bu- reau of medicine and surgery of the navy department, for making false vouchers. Washington, March 1. The important interests of the remainder j of the session centre in the Senate committee on appropriations and in the conference com-1 mittees. The former has today finished con siderable of the sundry civil bill and it will he reported to the Senate at 9 o'clock to morrow morning. 1 he deficiency tn.l will be taken up bv the sub-committees tomorrow morning, and it is expected it will be reported to the Senate j Tuesday. The fortification bill which will be the only I remaining regular annual appropriation bill untouched by the Senate, contains very few items and will be quickly disposed of Tues- day dight or Wednesday morning. The bills in conference are: The pension, army, postoffice, Indian and legislative bills, j The first two contains no conspicous features j of difference and the conclusion respecting i them will be easily reached. The conferees upon the postoffice bill are j holding their first meeting this evening and expect to agree before adjournment. upon everything except the so-called sub sidy clause on which a second conference will doubtless be required. The legislative bill has been agreed to by the conferees with the exception of the pro vision for clerks to senators and it is expect ed the House will recede from its position in this as it did last year. The Indian bill presents some difficulties, the solution of which cannot at this time be foreseen. The amendments relating to the amounts of various appropriations have ail been agreed to, but the proposed new legisla tion incorporated into the measure by the House is still at issue, and neither party manifests at yet any disposition to recede. The House conferees urge amendments of the proposed legislation, while the Senate stands upon its rule, which forbids new leg islation on appropriation bills and declares, moreover, that the House appropriations in volved are violations of sacred treaties with the Indians. The naval bill has not yet gone to the conference. The Senate amendments were discussed by the House committee on appro priations today, and the latter, with excep tions. failed to concur with the Senate. The differences, however, will be easily harmon ize, except the provisions for the completion of the monitors, and that for the amendment of the new cruisers and gunboats, very little more business except the consideration of the appropriation hills is to be expected from the present Congress, though the friends of several important measures will indeavor to secure action upon them. At this stage of the session it practically requires unanimous consent for the passage of an important measure, since a very small minority may, by resorting to parliamentary methods of delay, exhaust the remaining tipie. Among the measures likely to be pressed upon the attention of|the House are the Grant retire ment bill, and the bankruptcy, educational, Mexican pention, and national library hills. The committee tin elections lias signified its intention of pressing the election contests, hut there is a determined opposition by the minority and filibustering will be resorted to if necessary to defeat their consideration. In the Senate such time as is not occupied in the consideration of the approprition bills on the calendar, preference being given gen erally to pension bills. The bill to forfeit certain lands granted to the State of Iowa to aid in the construction of railroads has already been under discus sion. and will be urged to action if oppor tunity offers. The £5.000,000 substituted for the usual river and harbor bill is in the hands of the Senate committee on commerce and its fate cannot be foretold. FOREIGN NEWS FROM IAIN DON. Comment*nl the London standard and London Now*—Doing* of Mir Cabinet Council. Loudon, Feb 28. The London Standard, commenting on the small majority of 14.by which the government escaped censure last night, says ttiat the cab- i inet is bankrupt in influence and that Glad- stone has received a very severe lesson. The London News savs it is possible that the government may resign, but the News 1 thinks the proper course will be for the gov- eminent to end the present session speedily as possible by passing the redistribution of seats and the registration bills, and to appear j before the new constituencies in November. The cabinet held a council today to consider what course to pursue. Tbe Cabinet Council was in session until 6 30 this evening. Tbe only decission arrived at was to the eflect, that no ministerial resig nation should be tendered, until 1’arliament 1 had disposed of the government's leasure of the redistribution of seats. Arrest of Anarchists. Berms, Feb. 28. The anarchists, arrested on suspicion of being concerned m the plot to destroy the federal palace and other public buildings, are Russians and Germans. It has been ascertained that tbe conspira tors intended to start a conflagration in the I.ascal quarter of the city, and during the en suing confusion, attack tbe federal palace. The authorities succeeded in pressing so closely on one of the conspirators, who was under suspicion, that he finally surrendered and confessed. Besides tbe 23 anarchists arrested in Can ton, yesterday 3 were arrested in Surrich and 5 in Brenne.

STARTLING REVELATION. A Rumor that a Regiment at Irish* Americans Will Go to Egypt to Assist the Mahdi iu his struggle for Freedom. Chicago. Feb. 28. According to the circumstantial narrative to appear in the Inter-Ocean tomorrow, the Fenian and other revolutionary circles have been quite active recently in making prepara tions for an important forward movement. Letters have been received from the Paris headquarters in Dublin to the Irish Revolu tionary Brotherhood and Fenian Council in New York, calling upon the active revolu tionists of Chicago to furnish their quota to the Irish Brigade or legion now in process of formation and destined for active service against England in Egypt. Four officers have already accepted positions. Capt. Coverton, of Farquer Co., Virginia; Lt. Dick Morton of Culpepper; Lt. Golding, of Fall's Church, Va., and Scrg't. Blakeley of Richmond. Seven officers of the Union force, now r.s idents of Chicago, have been selected, one of whom for some years past has been doing newspaper work in this city. Fifteen thousand dollars will he subscribed in this city for Chicago contingents, and like sums for New York, Philadelphia and Boston contingents. It is also stated that a high command in the new Irish Brigade has been ottered to a distinguished soldier, and rumor has it that he has accepted. This officer is said to be General Fitz Hugh Lee. The organization seems well planned, well digested and cohesive in all its parts. Vari ous cities contributing quotas are reported as enthusiastic to the last degree. The brigade is described as enthusiastic to the last degree. The brigade will consist of 1,000. The men in the infantry are to be armed with Reming ton rifles, while the cavalry will carry sabres and Spencers rifles. These men will report in New York in twos and threes from thence sail to aoine port in France, bv some be lieved to be Marseilles. The following order was recently issued from New York council ot the Fenian broth erhoon, forwarded to I). IV. O'Brien, Capt Dwyer and Col. Win. E.

CAUGHT AT Til KIR OWN TRICK*. Three Hen Remand Honey of a Stale Treasurer—Foiled While Attempt ing to Kseape With Their Treasures. Lincoln, Neb,, Feb. 28. About 2 P. M., three men walked into the State Treasurer’s office, drew revolvers and said to Deputy Treasurer Bartlett, who stood behind the railing, “hold up vour hands,” a pistol almost touching his head through the railing. Bartlett answered, “what docs this mean men, is it tooling or business?" But his hands wvnt up all the same. No talk, re torted the man who acted as the leader, just hand out the money and be quick about it. Bartlett passed out through the railing the amount of $300, saying in a loud voice, “here it is, help yourselves Two of the men then turned to the door, the third hacking and covering the retreat w ith a cocked revolver in each hand drawn on Bartlett. The loud tone employed by Bartlett, was a signal to Detectives Pinard ami Davis, who were concealed in an adjoining hall. Just as two of the robbers passed out of the treasur er’s public door, the detectives shouted, “halt.” but no attention was paid by the flee ing men, who afterwards proved to be Jim (Jriffin and A1 Mcfiuire (iritlin, the former being a one legged man, was behind. A moment later, the report of a shot gun was heard. Gtiffin fell on the porch steps, with t**n buck shot in the back and right shoulder. Mcfiuire was captured before he could mount a horse, which was tied to a post about 40 feet from the door. The moment the gun was fired in the hall, the third man. who is unknown unless by tin* detectives, stopped, closed the door instead of passing through, went through the door behind the railing, ran across the room, jumped out of an open window and made his escape. The money was recovered by Pinard, who returned it to the treasurer. It appears that Pinard and Davis knew that an attempt wss to he made, and understand inglv with Bartlett that he should talk to the robbers loud enough to be heard in their place of concealment, Their appearance has been looked fur any day. The robbers had visited the office several times, hut some hitch in their arrangements deterred them from mak ing an attempt at the robbery until today. Railroad Trouble*. Chicago, Feb. 28. Phillip Brown, of Portland, Me., and John Patten, of New York, filed in the United States district court today, a hill of fore closure against the Toledo, Peoria A VVesr eru railroad The bill shows that the road is under a long lease to the Wabash, St. Louis A Pacific Railroad, under a stipulation by the latter company, however,that it would guarantee the payment of taxes, insurance and interest on coupons in default of which the lease was to be forfeited.

This evening a man arriving here on the train engaged an expressman to deliver a lame satchel at a certain number of a street. The teamster failing to find the given num ber returned to the depot. A suspicious noise within attracted atteution and the valise was opened and found to contain a baby and suitable clothing of fine texture, together with a bottle whose contents of milk had ap parently been drugged to keep the child quiet. The cast-away was taken to the alms house and vain search was made for the heartless stranger. A liAMi OK SVtl.MOI.KKN. Three ot Them Already Cap ured Va« riou* Method* Employed by Them in Cheating Hone*t Ear* mer* Throughout the Country. Boston, March 1. The Herald, tomorrow, will devote consid erable space to the expense of the inetho practised by a gang ot swindlers who have been fleecing the farmers of Vermont. New fork. Illinois and Ohio, under a pretem e of conducting a bona fide produce commission business. Three of these men are now awaiting trial for conspiracy, but the fourth, who is well known to the police, has not thus far com mitted himself so as to be amenable to law. The practice of the gang was to adopt a firm name, differing only bv a single letter, from that of some bouse doing a legitimate business; then to have printed a lot of letter heads, which were circulated among the far mers. together with a circular, offering prices for produce in excess of the current market quotations. If the farmer was curious as to the firm's standing, a glance at the commercial agency reports, would apparently satisfy him. as in his hurry a slight difference io the firm name would escape his notice, and he would find the rating of the legitimate firm to he first class. In addition*to the different bogus firms tnat has been started by the swindlers, they are also engaged in banking business, under the name of the National Loan ami Trust Com pany, in this citv. This was run as an aux iliary to the produce swindle, they assuring their victims that they hanked with that com pany, and drafts on that company would bo duly honored. In many cases, the unsuspecting farmers drew on the company, only to have their draft returned dishonored. Among the names under which these men have operated, are the following ,1. \V. Ran dall Co M A. Burbank ft Co., Russell A Co., W. E. Barnard Co and Morse ,4 Co. Under the title of the American Co-opera tive Dairy Company, they secured many victims. The gang has also operated in similar tran sactions in Chicago ami Louisville, and so extensive as has been their dealings, that it it confidently asserted, that the loss to con signees throughout the country will aggre gate $1.e from all that use it. feb24J;eod&wlw A Stioh in time saves nine anil a bottle of Togns Cough Mixture may save your life. fitAwwtl A Iteiiinr Italile Kxspt Mrs. Msry A.

gaily geuuebec journal. Aumsta. Monday Morning, Mar. 2. Our City Affairs. From the first excellent Mayor of this eity. (General Redington. down to the time the present incumbent of the office was elected, the men who have filled the posi tion of Mayor have been citizens of public spirit, liberal and progressive ideas, care-j ful of the best interests of the eity, wisely economical, honest, faithful to the trust reposed in them. We need not mention the names of the many distinguished citi zens who have performed the duties of Mayor. They are known to our people. These in conjunction with other good citizens in the board of aldermen and in the common council, have managed our city affairs. Of course this has not lieer. done without, some faultfinding— soim-times with, and at other times with out cause—but in the main the eity has j been well and prudently governed, as j most of our citizens acknowledge Il is true that the city has a debt, and a city which has not one it would be diffi cult Vi find in this State or any other. Hut the larger portion of our debt is that which was occasioned by the “Sprague purchase” amounting to $250,000, and this debt was one voluntarily incurred by our citizens in public mass meeting, after due notice and thorough consideration and discussion. The object aimed at in assum ing that debt was a noble one, and our best men without regard to party joined in it heart and hand, hoping that it would build up and benefit the city. Hut unex pected misfortunes came V» postpone—not to blight—the purpose for which the city entered into the “Sprague purchase.” No blarn" can attach to our city officers for this debt or delay. The citizens took tin; I responsibility. The city government only followed their instructions and acted as j their agents. Without this debt the city liabilities j would be small for a city ot the extent and population of this. For the balance of tiie debt there are many improvements to show, many expenses incurred for pat riotic purposes and to maintain public con veniences and appearances properly be longing to the capita! of the State. Within fifteen years the schools of this city have been raised from a very inferior position in rank, until they stand at the present time unsurpassed by the schools of any other city in j the State. New and tine build ings have been erected, the best teachers have been employed, and while additional expense lias been incurred, the children of all our citizens have an oppor tunity, the poor as well as the rich, to ob tain educations that will qualify them for business pursuits and to bold places of trust and responsibility. Our streets and highways, numerous as they arc and ex tended, because of the 'arge area of our territory, though not in such good condi tion as is desirable, still show many solid and permanent improvements during the last fifteen years. Our tire department,dur ing that time has been reorganized, with new and improved facilities and accommo dations. milking itmuch more efficient than formerly. So we might mention many oth er improvements, most of which will occur to our readers, that have called for money from the treasury, and yet arc profitable and even indispensable to a municipality such as this in these times. Hut the New Age whose editor is not a resident of this city, knows nothing of its struggles, is not identified with its interests, and writes entirely for selfish ami partizan purposes, accuses our rulers in the past of corruption, dishonesty and incompetency, and undertakes to dictate to oar people us to the government of the city, ami by misrepresentation ami down right falsehood to place his tools in con trol of our municipal affairs for the com ing year. We think our voters will show at the election next Monday that they do not approve of foreign dictation in their city affairs, and particularly are not in favor of that kind of management of our streets and sidewalks that brings down the censure of the legislature upon our city, makes our city government the laughing stock of the State and threat ens the removal of the seat of govern- ment to some other locality. If this is reform the less wo have of it the better for the public interest. I he statement of eity expenditures pub lished by Plaisted, Morton A- Co., only comes down to Feb. 7. Two days after ward*. at a meeting of the board of alder men, an order was passed as follows Ordered. That the city treasurer he authorized, with the advice and consent of the m ivor. to negotiate a temporary loan not exceeding Til IK I'KKX l'HOl SANl) DOL LARS. tor a time not exceeding nine months, for the purpose of paving the annual ex- j reuses of the city, ere. Thus it appears that instead of there! being any saving in eitv expenses thisj year, the money appropriated is all gone,; and the city is obliged to borrow to pay expenses. If Mayor Whitehouse has, as the New Age says, run our city government forty thousand dollars less than last year, why has he borrowed THIRTEEN THOU-1 SAND dollars a month before Ins term expires? What with bills that will lay over for his successor to pay, and money i borrowed, it looks as though the boot would be entirely on the other leg. and the treasury be more than forty thousand dollars short instead of having that sum to spare. Hon. John S. Case of Rockland, who is Mavor of that eity and is again a candi date for that position at the election to-! day, is a popular and efficient representa tive in the legislature. Few men have more triends in that body than he, and no I one is more deserving of them. The vote i in his city is close, but we hope to learn' j| to-night of his election. j MAINE LEGISLATURE.

Kennebec Join rial: l notice in your issue of Friday a state ment taken, I presume, from the returns of the various insurance compaies to the com missioner showing the premiums and losses of tlie companies in this State for the year 1884, and while the statemet is undoubtedly correct so far as it goes, it may mislead some to believe that the profit to the insurance companies was the difference between their premium receipts which were $1,326,284.15 and their losses which were $999,026.10, or an apparent profit of over $300,000. But it must be remembered that to this last amount must be added the entire expenses of doing the business,including taxes, salaries, adver tising, etc., which by returns to the New York State department, are shown to be a little over 36 per cent, so to the loss account must be added the expense account of $490, 000,or an expenditure in the State of $1,489. 140, or a loss over and above premium re ceipts of $152,000,which shows the unprofit able condition of the business in Maine for the past year, Insurance.

Last April the body of an unknown wom an was found in a pasture in North Sears port The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, but the size of the person, the hair, clothing, etc were noted. It is now tnought probable that the body found was that of a well known lady of Farmington, who was taken insane several years aeo, through ill health, and was for a time in the llosuital at Augusta, but being some what improved, was discharged. She did not continue to improve, and left Farming ton, April 30, 1883, saying she should spend the summer at a point near the sea. Soon after leaving Farmington, as it has since been learned, she drew her money from the savings bank in Augusta No subsequent act of hers is known to her friends, but by correspondence held with Searsport parties, and the description given by them of the body found, it is feared by her friends that the ladv mav incautiously have shown her money to some unscrupulous person, who murdered her to obtain it, and left the re mains where found.—Chronicle Hancock.

Crazy patchwork bags and reticules are all the rage. Red tan is a favorite color for kid gloves this season. Chenille trimmings are in favor both on bonnets and dresses. Porphvry is a new shade ot red between brick and garnet. Gloves and stockings match costumes, or are black, or dark brown, or gray. Bonnets of black lace in Escurial or Spanish designs over foundations of satin are much worn. Black or brown velvet round hats have a novel trimming in bands of white Ango ra wool. Corsets are undergoing a change. They are made shorter in the waist and allow more room for the hips. All fashionable wraps, long or short, are held in at,the waist line in the back by straps of ribbon or elastic. There is a revival of taste for the deli cate aesthetic colors, and the newest jer seys are brought out in these shades. A white terry velvet capote is trimmed with large loops of white velvet, in which nestle six tiny ruby-crested humming birds. Small diamond, pearl, and gold and sil ver pins, in novel devices both floral, fan ciful and grotesque, are thrust about in the laces ol jabots and frills on dressy cor sages. A handsome mourning costume is made of ladies’ cloth, the underskirt being trimmed at the bottom with four overlap ping folds of crape. The overskirt is long and straight, and edged with a deep fold of crape. It is lett open on the right side, just showing the tucks up that side of the underskirt; on the lett side it is draped high, and is full in the back. The pointed bodice is trimmed with folds of crape. The crape bonnet is also trimmed with folds of crane placed high above the brim. Feather tans are still the fashion, those made of ostrich tips being the favorites. The Juliet” has a small round mirror in the centre, surrounded by ostrich tips, or birds, and is held on the arm by a white satin ribbon. Fans witli tortoise shell sticks and ostrich feathers in the natural colors are handsome and expensive. Jon quil-yellow and rosebud-pink feather tans are carried by debutantes, sometimes held bv a gold or silver chain instead of a silk or velvet ribbon. 1 saw the other day, says a fashionable correspondent, a petticoat entirely covered with crimson silk, almost ribbons, cut into narrow, sharply pointed flounces. Over this was worn a brilliantly flowered China silk, gorgeous roses upon a brown ground. The effect was autumnal, and suited the brunette who dis played it. A combination of dark green and citron yellow cloth appeared in a striking costume. A drapery of dark green cloth is arranged in wide plaits with tiny ones on either side, which are tied with citron colored cord over a skirt of citron color. There is a green basque with a vest ot the contrasting color set off with a garniture of the cord to match the skirt. A practical way of utilizing black lace shawls is suggested by some dresses com posed of silk and lace that were recently shown by a leading modiste. A black silk skirt edged with a knife plaiting had a lace drapery over it. reaching from the waist line to the plaiting. It was plain in front and gathered in the waist behind with the fall silk breadths. A long apron of brocaded silk fell over the lace in trout, and was gathered in the sides, hav ing the lace breadths in the back fully ex posed. The corsage was made ol satin brocade, with elbow sleeves trimmed with black lace, and with a high collar with a full jabot of lace tailing below the waist line in front. At intervals in the jabot were small black satin bows. Tulle dresses are made with several skil ls over satin and looped up with birds, leathers, flowers or ribbons. An old cos tume in all black tulle has an under dress of soft black satin made princess with a long, round train. The three tulle skirts fail over it and are caught together at the bottom, and finished by a row ot tiny crow’s wings, the purple black shining prettily in the gaslight. Above this bor dering is a band of embroidery done in the tulle in black silks, in birds heads, two heads being placed back to back, all about the band. The corsage is decolette, with bands of the birds’ wings for sleeves and a bordering about the top of the cors age. Long black kid gloves and black satin slippers complete the costume. Jennie June says that one ot the most poetic and charming toilets ever imported is a Worth evening dress, designed for a young New York girl. It is made of moonlight tulle, studded all over with tiny sil\er loops woven into the tissue, and through each ot which is passed the stem ol a wood violet in velvet. The violets also form a tringe across the front, which ascends on one side tor a short distance and then descends again, ending with the beginning of a small train, which is very full, and not bordered, and is lifted in bouffant style upon the point of the low bodice. Crossing this, and lightly touch ing the shoulder, is a delicate garland of flowers, which form the only ornamen tation. The transparent underskirt is bor dered with a plaiting edged with purple velvet, and this by a narrow plisse of sat in matching the tulle. Two young ladies have brought over cloth costumes from London, that are charmingly novel, writes “Miss Murray Hill” to the Boston Herald. One is blue flannel combined witli brown velveteen and brightened in the most artful way with crimson cloth. The blue skirt is bouffant, and a sort of fly of the velveteen comes around in front, where it is left with an unfinished, negligent air that is decidedly odd. A brown velveteen petti coat is just disclosed, and this has a nich ing of blue and red. There is a blue jack et over a brown velveteen vest, edged with the crimson, which also ornaments the cuffs. The other dress is of blue serge. There is a beautifully cut jacket, rather loose in the back with mannish coat tails. It discloses a vest covered with very short alternao rows of scarlet and blue cloth cut in tiny scallops. Bands of this combination also trim the skirt at in tervals, giving a very striking effect. A man mow ing took off the top of a roos ter’s head. He pasted it on and used St. Jabobs Oil. He says it’ll crow on again. Fits.—All fits stopped free by Dr. Kline’s Great Nerve Restorer.

How Man’s Lease of Life may be Lengthened. The possibility of prolonging life has commanded the serious attention of emi nent scientists, and the discovery of some compound or elixir capable of pre-1 venting or suspending physical decay, has been, more than once, confidently pre dicted. The practical thing to consider is, however, the prolongation of life by proper care of the health, one of the best means of maintaining wbieh is the occasions, use of Ayer’s Pills. S. C. Hradburn, Worthington, Mass., says: “Ayer’s Pills are THE BEST remedy for sick headache, arising from an impure state of the stomach, and are the mildest and best purgative in the world. They were first recommended to me, by my mother, thirty years ago.” Mrs. J. G. Smith, C'ampbelltown, Ga., says: “I have been cured of Rheumatism, and am now enjoying good health, through the use of Ayer’s Pills. I am nearly seventy years of age.” Mark Johnson, Monterey, Mexico, says: “I have used Ayer's Pills for the past thirty years, and am satisfied that I should not now be alive had it not been for these Pills. By using them I have been enabled to avoid the bilious diseases peculiar to this climate.” J. V. Thompson. Mount Cross, Va., says: “Ayer’s Pills gave me quick and HAPPY RELIEF from bilious and sick headaches. I have now used them for two years, with in creasing satisfaction.” M. V. Watson, 1.12 State st., Chicago, III., says: “One car ago I was induced to try Ayer’s j Pills as n remedy for Indigestion, Con stipation, and Headache, from which 11 had been a great sufferer. I found the action of these Pills easy, and obtained prompt relief. In continuing their use, a single Pill, taken after dinner, has been 1 ail the medicine I have required. Ayer’s Pills have benefited me more than all the i medicines ever lx fore tried.” I). T. Stun-, liters, P. M., Wayside, Kans.. Fays: “My wife suffered, for several years, with Cos- j tiveness anil Sick Headache. She was completely cured by using Ayer’s Pills.” THE COMING MAN. Among the many attainments which we may reasonably expect the comiug man to possess, will be a perfect knowledge of the humau system. lie will also have a thorough appreciation of the importance of Ayer’s Pills, as a means of keeping the system in a healthy condition, and of their power to cure Dyspepsia, Liver Com plaint, and Sick Headache. Wm. Tar rant, Alexandria. Va., writes: “Being a victim of that horrible disease, Dyspepsia, I decided totry Ayer’s Pills. In afewdavs my appetite returned, and, by exercising a little care in the selection of my food, I could eat a hearty meal aud not feel DISTRESSED. I now rejoice in a renovated system, and my health is restored.” John Slaubaugh, Eglou, W. Va., writes: I think very highly of Ayer's Pills, aud use no others. They cured me of Dyspepsia.” W. E. Quivey, Jackson, Mich., writes: “Ayer's Pills are the best thing I ever found for Sick Headache.” M. J. Mead, Sr., Can ton, Ind., writes: “Ayer’s Pills have afforded me great relief from Liver Com plaint, of fifteen years' standing, and from Constipation. I was TROUBLED with Dizziness, Indigestion, oppression after eating, and general Nervous Prostra tion. I now feel like a new man, all owing to a few boxes of Ayer’s Pills.” John C. Bobenreith, Elgin, III., writes: I was troubled, for some months, with a disordered liver, and began to fear an enlargement. After using only one box of Ayer's Pills I am entirely cured.” J. Tabor. M. D.. Jefferson. Penn., writes: I have prescribed Ayer’s Pills in cases of Dropsy, as well as for many abdominal disorders, and their use bus been attended with excellent results.” For sale by all Druggists.

Vanderbilt** Money t'onldn*t liny It. The Acworth Nev anil Farmer of this week says Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, living within three miles ol Acworth, remarked that Vanderbilt’s fortune could not buy from her what six bottles of Sw ift’s Specific lias done for her. Her statement i« as follows For thirty-one years I have suffered almost death from that horrible disease, scrofula. For years I was un able to do anything in keeping up my domestic affairs. Last October I was induced to try Swift’s Specific, and used two bottles, and was so much ben efited by it that I purchased four more from Messrs. Northcut Johnson, which has almost entirely re- j lieved me. I feel like a new person, and can do all my own ho- sework. Before 1 took the S. S. S my life was a burden, as my entire person was covered with sores, and in this miserable condition I did not care to live. I bad tried every known remedy, ami my case was generally regarded as incurable. I had been treated by the best physicians to no avail. I most heartily recommend Swift’s Specific to the afflicted. Messrs. Northcut Johnson, merchants at Ac worth. say: We know Mrs. Elizabeth Baker person, ally; we are familiar with her case. She is highly esteemed in this community. Klieiimatlam Twenty Year*. I have been a sufferer from rheumatism for twenty years, at time- with almost intolerable pain. I had the best medical treatment, and took all sorts of remedies, but without relief. Being reduced almost to a skeleton, and not bein. able to walk even with crutches, I was induced to try Swift’s Specific, and it act**d like a charm, and I am to-day entirely re lieved Have thrown away niy crutches, and am in excellent health. I believe Swift’s Specific will cure the worst cases of rheumatism. Mrs. Ezra Mkrshon, Macon, Ga., Aug. 4, *84. Communication. WKTi’MPK A, Ala.,Sept. 28, 1884 —About six years ago I became afflicted with a very disagreeable skin disease, with large, dry sores and many crusted pim ples on my lace, hands and shoulder. The sore on my shoulder eat out a hole nearly an inch deep, and the cancerous appearance of one of the sor»*s near mv eye alarmed me very much. I tried all kinds of treatment, but found no lung that seemed to affect the disease. I finally decided to try S. 8. S on ad vice of a physician, and in a short time the scabs dropped from the sores and left my skin smooth and well. I consider S. S. S. the greaiest blood medicine made, and the only thing that will cure the disease with which I was afflicted. I think my trouble was the result of a terrible attack of malarial fever, con tracted while farming in the Tallupoosa river swamp. I can be found at my office in the court house at Wetumpka.
