possibly spare from the publication of

think all this zealous action on his part
may be explained from the fact that
Col. Walsh has panted for Congressional
honors for years past “as the Hart pant-

Secretary Folger is a good deal
i concerned just now about the di*-
i covery that it is possible to abstract
I plates and diea from safe* of the
bureau of engraving anc‘ printing.—
Two of the most valuable dieg were
found last Thursday night wrapped
up in a piece of paper, as though
ready for removal from the building.
These dies had been receipted for by
the custodian of dies and plates, as
safe in his possession. They were
the dies of the figure “10,” with the
geometric lathe work, the most diffi
cult of all to counterfeit. Nobody
could explain how they got out of
the safe n«>r to what use they may
have been put. The Secretary order'
ed them destroyed, and the cus
todian dismissed. The discovery
shakes faith in the integrity of the
bureau, and no one knows how
many other plates and dies may have
been abstracted long enough to obs
tain impressions to he used in coun
terfeiting.

prints to-day the following statement
regarding the alleged false issues of
treasury notes from plates used for

The brig Edward Hatton, Thomas

point yesterday morning from Point*.

mons reports that on the outward
and homeward passage his ves«el
encountered vast numbers of ap
parently dead fish. “They were all
on their back*,” said the Captain to u
Herald reporter, “and were from two-
to four pounds each in weight.—
They all had a^bloated appearance.
At first sight I took them for cod, but
further observation convinced me
that they were what is called drum
fish. Theirs fins kept moving,
which gave to the fish an appearance
of life, but the movement was doubt,
less caused by the waves. The vessel
ran across them between lattitude 30
and 37J. They were iuside the
stream, in deep soundings. 1 tried
to get some up in a bucket as speci
mens, but it was blowing too hard to
catch any. We kept among them for
a distance of from sixty to eighty
miles. A man told me this mornings
down off Staten Island, that the
crews of some vessels that recently
came in had been eating these dead
fish. I wouldn’t have cared to do
so. I should think they were killed
by some disease. The stories about
submarine explosions causing then-
death is very unlikely. Well, it’s a
puzzle anyway for the scientific men.

Columbus Timet: Inch by inch we notice
some of the most “Independent papers in the
State” pecking and scratching backward as we
have seen roosters do; when trying to avoid a
light from Mr. Stephens, No man in Georgia
politics was ever threatened with so dead a
death by faint praise as Mr. Stephens. But
few of them refuse to embrace him, but while
embracing they stab him in the buck. It will
only be a few days, if prognostications hold
good, before some of these papers which are
now so gingerly preparing their readers for the
step, will bloom out In flaring colors for some
other man, and we think, too, that Bibb oounty
will furnish the coming Idol, Watch for the

The private car of President Vanderbilt, of the
New York Central road, Is one of the largest In
the country. It Is 74 feet in length, 9 feet 10
Inches wide, and 14 feet 6 inches high. It is
divided into four main apartments. At the
front Is the kitchen, and back of It Mr. Vander
bilt’s state-room. The sitting and dlnlng-roora
and ourd-room follow. At the extreme rear 1»
the observatory, with inclosed sides and open
back. The car Is elegantly fitted up, and pro
vided with electric bolls and other convenien
ces. There are four views on the sides
of the oar, representing the Grand Central

made to him that if he would give up
the plate or divulge where it was

he should first be released from re
straint and finally be pardoned. This

tion and incarceration for a long
period of time. Soon after his re

and made use of it in the printing

numbers of the same denomination
were discovered that the government
saw the necessity of making a new
plate and new issue of $100 treasury
notes. There are parties living—
somo are dead—who shared in the
spoils that accumulated from the
issue of this secreted plate. r i he
parties constituted a ring, having
important ramifications. A remnant
of that ring still exists. That thfcre
is such a ring is undeniable, Rnd it is
claimed that these parties have en
joyed groat facilities for handling the
plates and issuing bonds printed
thereon. What has been the extent
of the spoils is not known, but from
the flush condition of the kuowu
confederates to this robbery of the
government and the spoliation of the
people with the length of time it has
been enjoyed, it is certain the utter
ance and circulation of such notes
from the stolen $100 plates has run
away up into millions of dol

The attempt to make way with
the $10 dies last Thursday at the
Engraving and Printing Bureau lends
color to the above startling narrative.
The air is full of remora of coming

that of Tate, who had lately started

Boston, ,June 2.—A special dis
patch from Ashville, N. C., says; “I.
Eastman, a well-to-do farmer, who
livei fourteen miles from here, went off
on a spree yesterday, accompanied by
bis daughter, Ruth, eight years old.—
While the father was sleeping off the
effects of his potations, the child pro
cured the bottle of whisky, swallowed
the contents, and made her way home,
where the father found her drunk. He
roused her, and told her his intention to
kill her. She begged for life, saying ;
‘Pa, don’t kill me now, I am drunk ;
wait till I get sober,’ The infuriated
man dragged the child out of bed and
boat her to death.”
