Pat Walsh, of Augusta, is sup porting Mr, Stephens’ claims with the greatest energy, and is giving the sub ject all the room that the Chronicle can possibly spare from the publication of the Associated Press dispatches. We 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- eth for the watery brook.” But» even though Mr. Stephens should “step down and out,” Col. Walsh will find more than one lion in his path. Hon. Jas. C. C. Black, of his own citv, Judge Pottle, of Warrenton, and Col. Seaborn Reese, of Sparta, all of whom are spoken of favorably for Mr. Ste phens’ place, and any of whom will he found “a foeman worthy of Col.

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. The Gazette, a Republican paper, prints to-day the following statement regarding the alleged false issues of treasury notes from plates used for printing the larger denominations of United States notes, and the loss of wbich was discovered : “After the capture and return, as was suppos' d, SOME FISIL New York Herald.

At first sight I took them for cod, but further observation convinced me that they were what is called drum fish.

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.

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 Dopot, the Improvements at One Hundrod and Tenth street aad Fourth avenue in New York, Niagara Falla and the West Albany bridge of the Central railroad.

While he was uuder trial, a proposition was made to him that if he would give up the plate or divulge where it was secreted and expose his confederates, he should first be released from re straint and finally be pardoned. This wa* declined, hence his trial, convic tion and incarceration for a long period of time. Soon after his re moval to the Albany prison, his con federates exhumed the $100 plate and made use of it in the printing aod uttering of a large amount of cur rency, which went into general cir culation. It was not till duplicate 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 lars.” The attempt to make way with the $10 dies last Thursday at the Engraving and Printing Bureau lends color to the above startling narrative.

On the contrary Tate is n merchant of means, and is a mem ber of one of the oldest and most re.-. spectable families in the South. The mistake is represented to have oc curred wholly through a letter writ ten by Messrs. J. G. Balie & Son, of Augusta, to Messrs. Deeming & Co., stating that the description of a well dressed swindler corresponded with that of Tate, who had lately started North. Tate states that he will bring suit against James G.

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.” Washington, June 5.—Chief Justice Carter and Judges James and Hagner, constituting the oourt in banc, to-day rendered a decision upon the last mo tion of Mr. Reed in Quite; u’s behalf.— The (.hief Justice delivered the opinion, which was as follows : “In the oase of Guiteau, the Judges who listened to the argument in that oase have come to the conclusion that they have exhaust ed tliejr powers npon it, that they have heard it patiently, fully and fairly, and that argument would bring them to no other oonoluBion than that which they have already arrived at, and they de cline to reopen the oase for argument.
