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.

This, however, will not discourage the dogs of this section. We believe thnt right here about Macon are dogs that are just as 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: A Watch Free!

N. Y. World. A scat in tho Stock Exchange yesterday sold for $31,000—the highest price ever reached in the history of the .Stock Ex change. In 1881 one seat was sold for $32,- 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. Secretary Ely, of the Exchange, declined to give the name of the purchaser, but it was stated seiui-officiullv that ho is a Wash ington man, and on Wall street it is thought by some that the new member is probably Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Coon, who has just resigned to go into business. 11c was m the banking business before he entered tho Treasury Deportment.

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. , HIM AND 1IER.
