is dishonest.
The present auditor of the treasury is un
earthing frauds of this kind, and has ordered
the bringing of suits against ex Commis
sioner of Agriculture Loring and others for
the spending of money contrary to law.
In addition to this, an auditor could al
ways present the true financial status of the
State. The citizen oftentimes finds it diffi
cult to understand this, and we can find
legislative committees differing as to the
cash on hand and outstanding obligations.

General Lawton.
The Detroit Post says:
Gen. Lawton, of Georgia, has been, it 1* reported,
offered the office of minister to Austria, provided
he first gets Congress to remove his political dis
abilities. Gen. Lawton is one of these ex-Confed-
crates who has never applied for reinstatement in
citizenship. If he now does so under this offer, he
will appear as unwilling, all those years, to put off
bis rebellion by applying for restoration, because
he did not care for United States citizenship; but
applying now, not from love of the Union, but
merely from love of office. Whether the Senate
will confirm a man who should seek restoration
under such circumstances may bo questionable.
There are plenty of qualified citizens of the United
States to represent the country abroad, without
making a full citizen of a reluctant man, especially
to have him represent the United States in a high
diplomatic position.
It has been reported, with how much
truth we cannot say, that the Austrian mis
sion will be tendered to General Lawton.
If so, it will not only be a graceful but a
just act upon the part of the administra
tion.
General Lawton is not, nor has ho been,
an office-seeker. He has not applied for the
removal of bis political disabilities, for the
reason that he did not think he had such.
The Senate, at the suggestion of certain
parties, mado the point upon him when he
was appointed minister to Russia, but ex
pressly declared that beyond this there was
db objection to him. The same Senato had
jnst confirmed General Jackson os minister
to Mexico, who is in the precise att itude f
General Lawton. It seems that the “cer
tain parties” reserved the point to be used
against General Lawton alone.
The Attorney-Geneml, upon the request
of the President, gave an opinion that the
point ns against General Lawton was not
well taken, and the administration was
ready and willing to give him his instruc
tions and outfit for his post. He declined
to embarrass the administration, and when
Congress meets it should at once pass a bill
for his relief, as some lawyers think it nec
essary.
If then the administration should make
him a foreign representative such action
ill secure an able and competent official
and will give satisfaction to all good men.
taw nation, last Friday. Tishamingo, is a
small village w here the Indians do their
trading, and it is the frequent re
sort of hard characters from Texas
and other parts of the United
States. The region is full of outlaws.
Among a dozen or more outlaws and In
dians sitting in a saloon on Friday was a
tall Texan named Chalmers. An Indian
police officer named Brown entered the
saloon, and Chalmers insisted on treating.
Ah they were about to drink Brown man
aged to spill Chalmers’s liauor on the floor,
telling him he had enough. This enraged
the Texan, who demanded blood, and
pulied his revolver with one hand and his
dirk with other. Brown also drew his
weapon and ft fight was about to open W’hen
the spectators interfered und attempted to
settle the matter,
Nothing would satisfy the wounded
honor of Chalmers but blood, and so the
other white men and Indians fixed up a
fight on the following terms: The two
men were to stand back to back in the
middle of the floor. At a given signal each
man was to run out of the room, the In
dian through the front door and the Texan
by the back door. They were to turn in
the same direction after clearing the doors
and begin firing promiscuously. Both
principals agreed to these terms and took
their positions. The signal was given,
and both started from the house,
pistols in hand. They faced each other
on the north side of the house and opened
fire almost the same instant. The rounds
were tired in quick succession. Then the
Indian began to stagger, and, running to
ward Chalmers w ith a drawn knife, plunged
it into the Texan’s breast just as the latter
fired his last shot, which penetrated the In
dian’s heart, killing him instantly. Chalm
ers died half nn hour after his antagonist.
Over fifty Indians and whites witnessed
the duel. Among the whites was Fred
Fischer, a well-known cattle buyer, who
vouches for the authenticity of these facts.
started top**** through an open space, when a
clothes-line, made of telephone wire and stretched
across the space, caught him under the chin,
throwing him backward from the horse. He fell on
his head and was knocked insensible, and ao re
mained for about three hours. His throat la badly
cut by the wire and his head 1* considerably
bruised.
A young man in Colusa county, say* the Chico
(Cal.) Record, shot himself a year ago because a
oung woman refused to marry film. The girl said
le was a fool, but the boy recovered. The other day
the girl committed suicide because the boy refused
to marry her. The world changes, and so do boy*
and girls.
A Montreal butcher attending church at He Perrot
a few Sundays ago, finding himself unable to kneel
on both knees, knelt on one only and slightly bent
tbe other. A church warden insisted upon his get
ting down upon both knees. Tbe butcher vainly
pleaded that he was doing the best he could. ^He
arrested, charged with committing an act of ir
reverence, and flued.
John W. Raborn, a wealthy planter living near
Abbeville, 8. C., sold his cotton crop at Abbeville
on, Friday and started with his team on his way
home. On Saturday morning the team was found
hitched to a tree on the wayside, Raborn lying
dead with a bullet through his brain, and his
money missing. A white woman who lived in a
cabin near by waa arrested and confessed that
Henry Pyros was the principal in the murder, his
object being robbery. Pyros has been arrested.
About two years ago a man named Charles Deikert
as arrested in Chattanooga for forging William
Pcttibone’s name to a check on the First National
Hank. He confessed and was sent to tbe peniten
tiary for one year. He was released before be
served his full term for good conduct. It is under
stood that he committed another forgery in Atlanta
soon after his release, and last week he was cap
tured with a gang of forgers In New York city and
confessed his guilt.
Instantaneous photography is growing popular.
A Philadelphia artist savB: "The other day I was
going along with that little instrument on my arm
and I saw an interesting group at a street crossing,
so I stood on the curbstone and took it. You will
notice in the picture that there Is a pretty girl
about to cross and there is a young man who has
been following her and is looking at her with
clear attempt at flirtation. You see 1 have caught
him in the very act.”
A Philadelphia tailor just homo from London
says that the frock coat is going out and the three
button cutaway taking its place. Smooth-surface
material is very little used, all the new goods hav
ing a rough surface. Llama is tbe name of the
newest material. Both frock and cutaway coats are
made of worsted, black being tbo favorite color.
All coats aud vests are cut lower in the neck, and
trousers, which are usually of light plaids or dark
stripes, are cut wider and straighter. In the cuta
way coats, and even in the frock coats, a popular
idea is to have one pocket outside on the left-ham
side:

500, which was regarded then as a remark
able transaction. Since then the value of
the seats has been decreasing till four months
ago memberships were disposed of as low as
$19,000to $20,000. At $34,000 apiece the value
of the 1,100 memberships in the Exchange
is $37,400,000. The advance in value is due
to the remnrbable “boom” in stocks and
the extraordinary activity. On the dealings
last week there was nn average of $200 paid
to each broker. The $34,000 seat sold yes
terday was that of the late Charles Knight.

Nyauk, Now York, Special.
Dr. D. B. Wagon, of Sloatsburg, and Dr.
A. S. Zabriskio, of SulTem, made a post
mortem examination of the body of James
Wilson, of Sloatsburp, in accordance with a
desire of Wilson made just prior to death,
for the nuniose of showing to liis neighbors
that be had been unjustly dealt with in re-
j 'uni to his claims for a pension from the
Federal government.
Wilson, who was a member of one of the
New’York regiments, was wounded in the
hip nt the battle of Williamsburg, Va, in
1863. While in the hospital the doctors
made several attempts to find and remove
tho ball bnt were unable to do so. Wilson
made several applications for pension v
which were refused on the ground that he
had not received any disabling gun-shot
w’onnd. During' the twenty-three years
since he received the wound Wilson has
been in almost continual pain. At the
poMt-mortem tho doctors found the ball in
the outer coating of the bladder. It
weighed one and a half ounces. ,
