The Voting Fmne-Tirene
What. I sin about to tell relates to one
of my I"ranc-'l' ireurs. My Lieutenant
presented him one evening at the bi
vouac. Ile told me that he hail a vol
unteer, and I did not expect to see a
child with a slender figure, soft blue
eyes, and the smile of a girl. Ile, hail
long, light hair, Nvhich curled over \ his
forehead with silky softnegs, like those
of a madonna. The fact is that he
out my ideal of a soldier, and his blonde
curls displeased me.
•' 1)n you take my company fora girl's

tenaht. " Where the devil did you fish

he preserved a calm thee.

" (limner."
" Your age
" I will be twenty in six months."
" Are you sure of it

" I will be, if I out not dead then."
" Will you be brave
lie suddenly assunicd a position
which pleased toe.
" I caunol tell, Olptai 11, but I have
an idea that I will do credit to your com
pany."
He said this with calmness and sim
plicity. His eyes, despite their gentle
ness, looked directly into your face, and
in the cut of his face and the ensciiibk
of his traits there was something which
announced determination. We were
not together ten minutes when all toy
apprehensions disappeared.
1 learned that he was an orphan ; that
Ids mother died while lie was young,
and that he had known trouble. His
lather had been killed by a fall from a
horse, and lie, with two young sisters,
hail been left in charge of an uncle.—
His sisters and himself had discussed
war and the unhappy fate of France,
and his sisters seemed to imagine that
Ilse heroism of Gentler would immor
talize his name and save France.
One evening Gentler came to we in a
condition of lively agitation.
"Captain," said he, "there will be a
light todnorrow, and we will not take
part in it. Sonic regiments are being
'missed between Ivry and Biectre, and
the combat will be desperate. Permit
me, I beg of you, to Pit me join them."
lie added that he knew an Aid of
leneral X-- - , and that he eould be
assigned to stall-duty. leon,enh-d, and
it couple of hours later lie returned with
the desired permission.
That evening we were together. We
were both apparently in deep thought,
when lletiner suddenly asked.
"Captain, do you know what fear is?"
Fear! yes, parblieu! first time that I
undertook to waken gallant declaration
to a pretty woman, I found out all
about the malady. I was more dead
than alive, and 1 trembled like the
leaves of a willow. I was not wrong
in being scared, for the very first word
1 spoke, 1 was shown the door. She
was a pretty brunette with a lively air,
but she was robustly faithful to my Col
onel. I forgot to say that he was her
husband. And do you believe that I
have never dared to present myself be
ihre her". In fact, I asked or an ex
'But, Captain, in battle, did you
never have any fear? The lit: 7 3 Lime
you were under tire?'
' Eu Wen! it was in Africa, upon the
limits of our possessions near Biskra.
A tribe had revolted and it was neces
sary to reduce them; and dame ! the
Arabs shoot well. I saw my comrades
falling at my side. Soule of the new
ones, by a mechanical movement,
shrank down their shoulders as if they
wished to make themselves smaller;
and at the same time I heard about my
ears a very singular hissing. It took
me some little time to comprehend that
it was bullets that made this hissing.
And then, would you believe it, in
spite of myself, 1 experienced an emo
tion, and constantly dropped my head
in order to rid myself of this whizzing.
A pure matter of imagination ! In a lit
tle while the combat became terribly
serious, and I thought no longer. It is
easier to die than it is to think."
' It is not death wilich one need fear,
it Is cowardice. 414wever, I hope to do
my duty," lie added, us if speaking to
am certain of it,' I said. Besides
von have given proof that you are
Brave.'
' You must not say this,' he said, with
sudden emotion, ' when there are those
here who know the contrary. You
who have never known fear do not
know what it is to have this vertigo.
Let me swear to you that the thought
that I may be going to death in a little
while does not alarm me. You remem
ber the post on which you placed me on
the morning of the 19th of Deceniber?
It was a little cross-roads; on one side
a high wall and on the other some
bushy heights. I had my back to this
height; and my face to the wall, beyond
'which rose a wooded hill. My duty
.i'._.1),...1c ,•.3E4lt/tat)e/ 4 sradtigeit?,c.t.
was to watch this wood, in which was
supposed to be concealed the enemy.
He was well concealed, for I could per
ceive no living being under the shadow
of the foliage, and not a sound made
itself heard. To my right, upon an
ascent of the road, one of my comrades,
Gilbert, was like myself in ambuscade.
Lower down, to my left, there was a
soldier of the line; but the road made
a bend between us, and I could only see
the point of his bayonet, as it flashed
in the sun. The forts thundered con
stantly, and I could hear above my
head the heavy flight of shells. In the
distance, musketry and the discharges
of mitrailleuse shattered the air, and
were followed by discharges of artillery.
My blood boiled. I listened anxiously.
It seemed as if our men, advancing,
had gained the ttrram, and my heart
bounded; and then there burst forth
confused clamors, and irregular and
frightful noises, to which there suc
ceeded a depressing silence. Contra
dictory emotions—hope, fear, anguish—
secmed to choke me. What most
afflicted me was that the combatdid not
approach in our direction, and that we
were debarred from taking any part iu
it. I wished to climb the hill at my
back, from which I thought I might
obtain a view of the battle, but you had
fixed my place, with an order for me to
remain there, and I dared not move.
' Several boors, as it seemed to me,
passed in this waiting. At different
dines I believed that I heard precipitate
and confused steps; then I fancied that
I felt that trembling of the air which is
produced by men ill flight!, and the idea
of a retreat, a rout, pa,sed like a cloud
over my thoughts ; nut I had repressed
the thought. Fly! French soldiers in
flight! that could not be. Besides, the
battle was still in progress; the artillery
and tile mitrailleuse still intermingled
it rage. A shell fell near me and
bur,t, without, injuring me, but covering
me with dint. 1 had no fear, but anxi
ety devoured me. Some spent balls,
coming from I know not where, struck
or rolled in' the dust of the road.—
\Vhat was happening? What was
the meaning of the noises I heard ?
\Vas it victory or defeat? I low could I
find out? I looked for Gilbert, but he
had disappeared. Perhaps he was kill
ed. I dared not leave my post to ascer
tain. To my left, Ino longer perceived
the bayonet of the soldier, mull thought
he might have been recalled, and I had
been forgotten. It was just then that.,
above my head, I heard a violent breath
ng,:then a shaking tit' the branches, and
from the midst of the parted bushes
there appeared the mile, frightened face
of a Z stave. ito glanced up mid down
the road with a haggard eye. Ido not
know that he saw me but he could not
open his mouth. lie made, without
speaking, a grand gesture—one inex
pressible—one full of discouragement or
malediction, and then lie disappeared.
This man, this apparition, this mute
flight, froze me. Suddenly there came
:tit oppressive and profound silence, such
as one sometimes meets ill the midst of
a tempest. It scented to ine that I re
mained alone in the world, anti that,
this day, there was passing under the
sky everything that was strange, horri
ble, frightful, and, being no mere mas
ter of myself, 1 wished to save myself at
any cost. I rushed toward the crest of
Ilse heights. I was advancing, when
I soddenly felt myself drawn back. I
endeavored to advance; lay gun caught
among the bushes, and was held, as if
seized by an invisible hand. And then,
my Captain, a fear, an insensate fear,
seized me. A eltitul passed over my
eyes. Everythingswain about me ; anti
throwing iny gun behind me, I lied.
Yes, monsieur, I fled like a coward,
without knowing anything, without
seeing, anything, without thought, antl
recovered myself only when near l'aris,
at a short distance from the ramparts
l was suffocating ; the blood boiled In
my arteries, and it was several 111011Iellt,
before I could recover myself.
"Some drunken soldiers were press
ing toward one of the gates, around
whom was all uneasy c.owd that inter.
rogated them.
" What is it ? What has happened I'
came front all directions.
"Ah, well," said one, " it is 'mulling
only we have been routed."
" Ilut when" Where? Were yot
surprised' Have the munitions giver
out?'' asked a crowd of men and womet
who surrounded a soldier.
" Munitions!" replied the man, will
druoken impudence," we have not burn
ed a single cartridge since we were rout
ed this morning."
" I threw a glance full of rage and in
dignation upon the man, and then I re
membered. The truth presented itself.
\V hat had I done? All, monsieur, I
was seized with tortures which I Cali
never describe. Yes, the naked truth
presented itself to me. In my fancy, I
saw you, my captain, my brave cont.
minions, my sisters, France, betrayed
and my honor lost. Pardon nay tears
but the remembrance kills me. I bur
ried, anti ran, but this time it was to
ward nay post. I went to recover the
arm which I had thrown away, an
then to die. My resolution was firm
absolute, mid I feared only one thing
that I might not be able. to find the
wall. I called to my aid all my coolness
in order to fix the points of the compass,
and, when I had established my direc
tion, I started back. Almost immedi
ately there appeared in sight a company
of soldiers, WllO were maraing in good
order. The retreat had begun. I con
cealed myself so as not to be seen by the
soldiers. They marched with a firm
step. Their faces were sad, but they
carried their beads high, like men who
had done their duty.
" I hurried my steps. The artillery
kept up its thunders, and protected the
retreat of our soldiers ; at times scattered
volleys of musketry burst out across the
Ids,
" Perhaps there may be a stray bullet
for me," thought I, as I hurried on.
" Suddenly I recoiled ; a body lay be
fore ate, that of a Frenchman, with a
ball in his forehead. All about the earth
was torn up, the branches torn, the
hushes trodden down, and debris of all
sorts littered the ground. However, I
pushed on. I recognized the field that
I crossed in the morning, but all was
changed. The copse had a battered ap
pearame,as if cut tty a heavy hail-storm.
Ilroken branches every where were sus
pended from the trees. Upon the hills
beyond me there moved, under cover of
the woods, some shadows in silence. It
was the enemy, as was proved by a sud
den discharge of grape-shot directed at
a French column which defiled at a lit
tle distance from where I stood. I con
tinued to advance. still there were
bodies, this time Prussians, in pools of
blood, and with shuttered arms. War
is frightful.
' But I did not stop to think. I push
ed on, when there suddenly appeared a
man at about a hundred steps from me,
coming out from a road towards which
I was going. As lie saw me, he stop
ped, and aimed his piece at me Aly
first, movement was- to jump behind a
tree; but, monsieur, a blind rage sud
denly seized me, when in his hands, I
saw my own gun. I threw myself for
ward at the moment he tired, and my
foot catching against a stone, I fell to
the ground, and the fall undoubtedly
saved my life. I had fallen in a fur
row, and I saw my enemy immediately
move toward me to assure himself,
probably, whether I was killed or only
wounded. I had no arms, and I resolved
to feign death, and let tarn reach me.—
When he was close to me, I bounded to
my feet, and threw myself upon him.
He was surprised by this sudden attack,
turned about and endeavored to pull his
revolver. He was a vigorous man, but
I had, at the moment, a superhuman
strength, and the struggle was brief. I
wrenched my gun from him, and re
coiling a step, 1 struck him with all my
force. The bayonet entered his breast,
and, extending his arms, he fell heavily
to the ground.
A little calmness came to me, when
I felt myself armed anew. I had be
come again a soldier, a man, and I
dared face your eye. But you will com
prehend,Captain, that I did not consid
er this account settled. I have a debt
to pay, which I hold Myself bound to
pay in blood, and, unless I pay it I am
a coward.'
No declamations.' I said, putting my
hand on his shoulders, for he had be
come excited in speaking. I You lost
your head and committed a criminal
act. It is to be regretted, without doubt,
but you forced yourself to repair it at
once. You triumphed over a perverse
instinct. You have subdued the fright
ened bete which rebelled, and,have re
stored it to its duty. This is well, and
proves that you are right at bottom, and
that, henceforth upon your guard, you
will hold yourself .in obedience Ouly,
be calm, my boy, more self-possession.
With these, one always seestclearly and
marches right. You see that pale light
on the horizon? It is dawn. If you are
still determined to assist in the fete
which is preparing, it is time to set out,
and may good fortune go with you.'
I gave him my hand, which he press
ed with emotion.
"Adieu, Captain!'' said he, with a
grave voice.
I called him hack.
" One word, Gentler. Be patient ; do
you understand? I order you to be pru
dent. There is no necessity of you being
killed, for your death will not save
France, or eradicate the disaster of Cha
tillon."
He smiled sadly. saluted me with a
parting gesture of his hand, „and went
away. I followed him with my look,
for he interested me, and I was well
pleased with his honest sincerity. I had
enough experience of human nature to
know that his adventure exhibited in
dications of a right and energetic soul.
He had certainly displayed more cour
age and resolution in retaking his gun
than would have been required to guard
it originally. He was but a boy, and he
had allowed himself to be overcome by
a feverish, nervous excitement. Fur
the future, I was sure of him.
I now remembered that on the day of
his adventure I had lost sight of him
since morning, and that I had begun to
be uneasy about him when he made his
appearance. He came iu out of breath,
and covered with blood.
'Are you wounded catue from every
side.
Nothing but a scratch in the fore
head which is not worth mentioning.'
The sound of his voice struck ins,
and it seemed as if, since morning, it
had changed its tone. lie threw a
Prussian helinet at my feet.
' 1 killed the man who wore it. Ile
was, I believe, a Bavarian officer.'
• Bravo!' I said, striking him on the
shoulder. 'You are the youngest among
us who has returned with a trophy.'
• Yes,' replied lie, bitterly, 1 have
captured a helmet, but we have lost
I was not a participant in the fight
ing that occurred on that day from
I,"Cay to Thiais and Chavilly. I only
saw the procession of wounded, and it
was a most cruel sight. In the eve
ning, I learned that Gentler had dis•
anguished himself, his coolness and in
trepidity had been remarked, and lie
had been publicly complimented. Gen.
who is an excellent judge of
such matters, proposed to are to attach
him definitely to his staff as a reward
for his cervices. I sent this offer to
Gentler, who refused it.
l'p to the lath of October there oc•
eurred nothing of importance. On that
day, we received intelligence that the
enemy was to be attacked between
Bagneux and Chatillon. A hash of
joy illuminated the countenance of Cl
Nt. last!' he exclaimed, with a 100
chick expressed his hope.
The French troops were divided into
hree corps, without counting the re-
Trve. One of our divisions received
orders to march on Vanvres and Clam
at while soother attacked from the
rout of Ilagneux. As for us, we were
letailed to operate between the other
wo, 0.11(1 to alllO'Ottell in the face of the
position at Chatillon.
We were sustained by several battal
ions of the line, and a heavy artillery
force and Mobiles, while my company
was marched at the head of the attack
ing column. The attack was made vig
orously, and, in its progress, it became
necessary to attack a house which had
been fortified by the enemy. To do
this, a series of barricades and walls,
Lehind which the enemy was located,
had to be carried by the bayonet. The
spirit and dash of our troops were mar
vellous. Every obstacle gave way be
fore them, and the enemy was rolled
back iu disorder. However, having re
ceived reinforcements; he rallied, and
at once took the offensive. Our sol
diers, inflamed by a desire for revenge
and by the hope of victory, did not
yield a foot. t-ilieltered in turn behind
trees and in the houses, they resisted
with energy. The Prussians,greatly out
numbering us, made a determined effort
to drive us back.
.Just then I saw a swarm of Prussians
advancing toward a farm-yard in which
a troop of Mobiles hail entrenched them
selves, and whose entrance they had
barricaded with broken carts, furniture,
mattresses and every-thing which came
to their hand. From behind this the
Mobiles held in cheek a Prussian de
tachment.
I was a short distance away, in a cem
etery, in which my command was forti•
tied,as if in an entrenched camp, among
the tombs and among the ashes of the
dead, whose repose we profaned. From
our position I could overlook the farm
yard, and I could discover that the
Prussians wereinaking..• preparations to
surround it. How COU Id tile Mobiles be
warned or the impending danger? I
made a sign ; Gentler marched forward
He saw and understood my motion. A
savage shower of balls saluted his pas
sage, but, happily, he gained the yard
and passed in. There occurred, at this
moment., in the little block-house, a lit
tle hesitation of which* the Prussians
availed themselves to advance. The
tiring was at once resumed with an in
furiated vigor. A portion of the Mobiles
endeavored to make a breach iu the
walls foregress, while the °tilers remain
ed at their already hall-destroyed barri
cade, protecting their labor, and among
them Cienfier, -- VihO charged and dis
charged
,its piece with the precision of
a eeterah. It was thus 1 saw him, as
lie stood erect in a cloud of dust and
smoke. -- Then there was a frightful dis
charge of musketry, and I no longer saw
anything.
The Prussian troops advanced in com
pact masses, supported by their rein
forcements, and our retreat was sound
ed. To guard the prisoners we had cap
tured it would have been necessary to
advance in force and bring on a general
engagement. This was evidently not
in the plan of our leaders, as they re
called us .at a moment when we had
everything our own way. Everybody
stormed, but it was necessary to obey
orders, and to fall back from positions
which our men had so gallantly earned
at the beginning and afterward held.
The day, however, was a glorious one
for us, and the enemy had paid dearly
for the right which we yielded to him
of retaking his positions. Our losses
were much less than his, and apart from
the disappointment of yielding the cap
tured battle•ground, everybody was
satisfied.
. . -
I was marching back with my coin- I
mand at an alert step, with my Franc-
Tireurs, at least such of them as had
been able to join rue, when I was met
by a member of the society of Geneva.
'Captain," said he, as he pointed to a
house from which floated theambulance
Hag, 'there is one of your men who is
badly wounded.'
I followed him into one of the town
halls, in which, on some improvised
beds, they had disposed of some of the
wounded. In a chair there lay a varcusc,
a long blue belt, and a hat with black
plumes, and near by, on a mattress, I
recognized Genner. Good heavens,
how pale he was, and what a change
had conic over him in a few hours ! His
shirt opened, and red with blood, re
vealed his chest crossed with bloody
bandages. He was in a sort of drowsy
stupor which resembled death ; his
right hand clutched hisgun , from which
lie would not be separated. Close by
his side was seated a sergeant of the
Mobiles, who contemplated him with a
mournful air.'
'He saved us,' he said, 'but it has cost
him dear.'
He had fallen upon the barricade,
where he remained till the last, and the
Prussians, after the light, had sent him
to our hospital. I interrogated with a
glance the surgeon, who sadly shook his
head.
Poor Genner! I saw in a moment, as
in a dream, the streets of a peaceful vil

I do not know whether or not he heard

feverish and burning glance.
He did not know the result of the day,
and hesitated to reply.

without a sigh, turned his head and

Soon, after some comrades came to an

closed, a long broken sigh came from

Early Rising
The following suits our theory land
practice) to a fraction :
All this talk about early rising is
moonshine. The habit of turning out
of bed in the middle of the night suits
some people; let them enjoy it. But it
is only folly to lay down a general rule
upon the subject. Sonic men are lit for
nothing all day after they have risen
early every morning. Their energies
are deadened, their imaginations are
heavy, their spirits are depressed. It is
said you can work so well in the morn
ing. Some people can, but others can
work best at night; others again,
in the afternoon. Long trial and ex
periment forms the only conclusive
tests upon these points.
As for getting up early because Pro
fessor Gammon has written letters to
the papers proving the necessity of it,
let no one be goOse enough to do
We all know the model loan, aged
eighty : "I invariably arise at live;
work three hours, take a light break
fast—namely, a cracker and a pinch - of
salt; work five hours more; never
smoke, never drink anything but bar
ley water, eat no dinner, and go to bed
at six in the evening."
If anybody rinds that donkey fled sort
of life suit him, by all means let him
continue it. But few people would
care to live to eighty on these terms.
If a man cannot get all withered and
cramped up on easier conditions than
those, it is almost as well that he should
depart before he is a nuisance to him.
self and a bore to every body else.
School-boys, and young people gener
ally, ought to get up early,for it is found
that nine-tenths of them can stand it,
and it does them good. But let no one
torture himself with the thought that
he could have been twice as good a man
as he his,if he had risen every morning
at daylight. The habit would kill ball
of us in less than five years.
Early Fall Fashions ia New Yoru

least still', and these delicate fabrics
come in "sections" or shades, three to
every color, and all the colors so dairiliy, so
subdued, that there is nothing in the least
gaudy even in the blues and greens. For
several years all the bright hues were so
exceedingly bright that no well-dressed
woman would wear them on the street;
and black became, in consequence, the
most stylish wear for walking-dresses.
Now, however, a line of goods is offered of
such unobtrusive tints that, most:beautiful
promenade costumes can be formed from
them.
Decidedly the Fall fashion for costulnes
is the Polonaise, and this has assumed quite
a new form. It does not sit quite tight to
the figure. On the front the shoulders and
bust are fitted perfectly, and the waist is
just outlined, but the seams do not keep
quite close to the form, thus preventing
that ridge which will always told in at the
point where corsage and skirt meet. The
.tek presents a very antique style revived
ihere is a seam clown the middle as well
as two side-pieces, and those three seams
are stiffened with walehone and continued
to the extreme point of the pannier, where
the fulness of the skirt is s uddenly thrown
. • .
out in two deep plaits, and then caught up
and bunched in with two large bows. The
Polonaise is made quite long, and also
looped at the sides, so that the front breadth
falls in deep folds. There is something
very novel and striking in the form of this
garment, and we shall ere long, doubtless,
see our eiegantex disporting ther .„ 4-seives on
Fifth avenue in this singular / evival of a
very antique mode.
BISMARe B. FAILLE.
A very elegant dress in light Bismarck
faille had the underskirt ornamented with
a bias llounce lined with chestnut-colored
Satin, and set on in deep flat plaits, so that
at every fold the upper edge was caught
down, displaying the lining. The upper
garment consisted of a Polonaise in the
style just described, the corsage ornament
ed with folds to imitate the plaited waists
so much worn in the Summer; the lower
edge of the skirt garnished with a flat side
plaited ruffle, lined like the under flounce.
Bows of the mingled satin and silk orna
mented the front and looped the Polonaise.
BONNETS.
When gazing upon the new importations
in bonnets I could not but wonder who
would have the audacity first to wear one
of these extraordinary structures, the style
differs so decidedly from any heretofore
worn. The crown is high and square, the
front very flaring, and there is somewhat
of a cape at the back, altogether a much
larger head- - ebyering than has appeared in
several years. _One Marie Antoinette opera
hat was of a sort of faded-saffron-colored
silk, the crown' high and puffed, the front
flaring, with a heavy white ruche inside,
the trimming of bias bands of peach-col
ored plush. Another more civilized-look
ing head-gear was of black velvet, the
frame perfectly round, having a fall of
black lace all about it like a round hat,
the crown high, with bias bands of velvet
and satin, and two blue feathers at the
side.
In veritable round hats I was shown one
which I was told was a " half gentleinan's
hat." What a " half gentleman" !nay be
I have no idea; whether it is a person who
frequents Fifth avenue on Sunday, and
adorns the Bowery the rest of the week, or
whether there was in this name a covert
satire at the "strong•minded," and; this
coiffure was intended especially to be
worn by ladies - who aspire to vote, was
not explained to me. TIOER LILY.
A Novel Aonarlom
The Zoological Gardens at Brussels con
tain something which is without a parallel
in Europe, and might be introduced advan
tageously in the Central Park at New York.
It is an immense aquarium on a novel prin
ciple. In a large artificial cave, which con
nine a n umber of winding passages,is adorn
ed with stalactites, and is altogether quite as
interesting as if it were natural, besides
being dryer and more airy—in this quiet
and cool retreat are fitted up a number
of glass reservoirs, lighted by gas
jets above, and supplied with an un
usual variety of finny inmates. Standing
before one of these reservoirs, the habits
and motions of the fish can be observed
with perfect ease. The spectator, if at the
bottom of a river, could not enjoy bettiir
advantages for ichthyological investigation.
Pressing his nose against the glass,
carp
and bass will calmly seem to rub their
aides against it. Huge eels will glide sin
uously out of rocky nooks and flout it with
their tails; a sullen clog-fish, hideous to be
hold, will stare at it with stolid indifference;
and stupid fish of divers kinds will pause
before it in placid imbecility. In other
compartments seal and crocodiles disport ;
while certain tanks are devoted to those
curious creatures of the wave which seem
to be half-flower and half-fish,:and which
have been burdened by naturalists with
most unnatural Latin names. Half a franc
is the price of admission to this curious dis
play, which Brussels claims as the finest
of the kind in existence. At Cherbourg in
France, something of the:sort was recently
projected, but there a bit of the genuine
old ocean was to have been captured and
fitted only with those scaly beings which
can live in salt water. Here both salt and
fresh-water fish abound.

Shameful Neglect of Duly
Effect of the Example Set by Grant.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 1871.
Not half the facts have yet been given to
the public in relation to the Hodge defalca
cion. When all is known we shall have a
series of striking illustrations of Secretary
Boutwell's mismanagement of the Treasury
Department. Paymaster Hodge, it must
be remembered, is, though a regular army
officer and liable 'to court martial trial for
any violation of law; also a disbursing offi
cer. He is governed in his disbursements
mainly by the rules and regulations of the
Treasury Department.
It is from the Treasury Department that
Paymaster Hodge received the Govern
ment money, and under the rules, regula
tions and form of stating accounts of the
Treasury Department that he disbursed it.
It was to the Treasury Department that be
sent his accounts for examination and set
tlement, and, finally, it was by the six
years delay of the Treasury Department in
taking up accounts for final settlement that
he was enabled to operate so long without
detection. .
Mr. E. B. French, Second Auditor of the
Treasury Department, is the accounting
°dicer to whom all paymasters' accounts
are sent for examination and settlement.—
It is the Second Auditor's business to audit
all paymasters' accounts. Such disburse
ments as be finds have been made accord
ing to law be allows, while fraudulent or
illegal payments be suspends and charges
against the paymaster. Previous to 1861
trio clerical force of the Second Auditor's
Office numbered about twenty. During
the rebellion it was increased to nearly five
hundred, and at the present time nearly
three hundred clerks are employed. Con
gress has indeed been liberal, but never
theless paymasters' accounts lie in the Sec
ond Auditor's pigeonholes from three to
.five years before being taken up for exam
ination and settlement. In fact, the papers
lie rotting in the pigeonholes on an average
of nearly four years before being touched.
How many million dollars of delalcation
the examination of these old accounts will
disclose, time will only show. Paymas
ters know very well that their accounts
will not be examined at the Treasury De
partment until four or five years after they
are rendered. This is the greatest tempta
tion to defalcation• Any one dishonestly
disposed is certain of three or four years'
time to make his defalcation good by spec
illation before his accounts are exaamined.
If all accounts were examined as soon as
rendered, the temptation would be nothing
ir*omparison to what it is under the pres,
ent.system of procrastination.
Paymaster Hodge's defalcation of nearly
half a million dollars, though extending
through a period of years, was never
known at the Treasury Department until
he confessed it. His regular account has
been settled only up to March 26,1567. His
transactions during the last four and a half
years yet remain to be examined. He ad
mits a defalcation of ~ ' , 1 50,000. How much
e sum will be increased by en examina
tion of his four and a half years of unex
amined and unsettled accounts no one
knows. Secretary Boutwell aud his Audi
tor of Paymasters' Adcounts aro both cer
tainly ignorant, and are both absent from
their posts of duty.
Some time in the month of March last, in
the final settlement of Paymaster Webb's
accounts for 1605, the question of the genu
ineness of a receipt of August 15, 1805, for
$lO,OOO, in favor of Hodge, was raised. Af
ter more than rive years delay an investi
gation extending through a period of about
six months, was had, and it was finally
decided to be a forgery, though even now
it is not so admitted by Mejor•Hodge's
friends. The receipt in question had been
on file among Major Houge's other vouch
ers in the Second Auditor's office awaiting
examination and settlement since 1505.
After five years :mil a half delay, during
which time the delaulter was plundering
the Government, it was finally decided to
be a forgery, and the arrest and imprison
ment of Hodge amillis confession of a de
falcation of $450,000, extending through a
period of years, followed as a matter of
course.
If the Second Auditor of the Treasury
Department had taken up these accounts
when received at his office live and a ball
years ago and hail them settled, the loss in
all likelihood would have been but 310,000
or less. As it is, since the defaulter has
had so much time to operate, the liovern
nient will be lucky if it gets off with the
loss of a million dollars. There are over
four years of Paymaster Hodge's accounts
awaiting settlement, and Secretary Bout
well is away electioneering, Assistant Sec
retary Richardson is in Europe syndica
ting, Treasurer Spinner isstravelling with
his retinue, Mr. E. 13. Fren . J . 6, Auditor of
Paymasters' Accounts, has been absent
frolic his post nearly two months; sic it is
impossible to state when ainything will be
done.
When Secretary Boutwell first assumed
control of the 'Treasury Department he
knew very well that his Auditor of Pay
masters' Accounts was about four years
behindhand on that class of work. Some
accounts were brought up nearly to date,
and some were nearly six years behind. It
is sale to say that, taken altogether, the
Paymasters' Accounts were, cm an average,
four years behindhand. He knew if more
help were necessary Congress would fur
nish it without a word. He knew that more
money could be saved to the Treasury by
promptly settling up these old accounts
than by a dozen syndications of the public
debt. He knew that Mr. French, who had
been at the bead of the Second Auditor's
office since the commencement of Lincoln's
first term, was a good-natured 1 tat of a map,
but wholly unfit for the position. He knew
that vouchers of payments of hundreds
upon hundreds of millions of dollars had
been lying in the Treasury Department for
years and years without examination. He
knew he had the power to have them all
settled up to Elate within twelve months'
time. But the accounts are nevertheless
nearly as far behind now as when Mr.
Boutwell entered the office !
• What influences prevented the speedy
examination and settlement so imperative
ly demanded by the best men and best in
terests of our country? Mr. Boutwell's
passion, if he has one, is the rapid pay•
went of the public debt, at all hazards and
at whatever cost. He ought to have madean
examination of theseold accounts even If
such defalcations should increase the public
debt and offset his reductions to a certain ex
tent. Did he fear that, the discovery of defal
cations In the Treasury accounts would in
jure his chances for the Presidency—hence
the delay? It Is safe to assume that the parties
operating with the half million dollars,
procured through poor Hodge's weakness,
were anxious to have the delay policy con
tinned. If there are any more Wall street
operators using Government money ob
tained from defaulting paymasters they
will certainly be unanimously in favor of
Mr. Boutwell's policy.
Unless Secretary Boutwell is previously
impeached by Congress. or suspended by
President Grant, we shall not discover the
extent of the existing defalcations before
1575, when the accounts will be reached if
the work goes on at the present rate. Sec
ond A uditor French is from Maine, and, as
a matter of course, is a strong Boutwell
[min. We cannot have a new Auditor of
Paymasters' Accounts until the President
in pursuit of the whites. The latter cap
tured seven of the warriors, and turned
them over to the Deputy United States
Marshal, who took them to Fort Smith for
trial for larceny and assault with intent to
kill.
Et=
Item Many Peaches this Year
The Wilmington Commercial says:
Our peach-crop is all picked and sold.
Indeed, most of it is already eaten. The
crop has been an immense one, but the
quantity shipped by rail has not come up
to the expectations formed of it. The fruit •
growers, at their meeting in June, estima
ted the crop sent by rail at 3,315,000 bask
ets. But, on the contrary, it will not be
greatly over two and a half millions. The
precise quantity, UP to and including,
'Thursday, September 14, was 2,636,673
baskets. The quantity sent by water,
however, will be about what we, at a rough
guess, estimated it—namely, a million of
baskets, so that the whole crop of the Pen
insula, this year, is over three and a half
millions of baskets, instead of four millions
as we had expected.
The quantity sent by rail
In 1970 was 1.410,079 Baskets,
" 1971 is (about) 635,000 "
Increase, 1871 1,234,921 "
This is a great development, along the
railroad regions, in a single year.
What amount of money the crop has
brought to us, this year, we cannot yet es
timate, but the net prices returned to the
grower have, probably been between 30 and
40 cents per basket. At 35 cents, the peach
crop has brought into the Peninsula, this
year, over $1,235,000, and counting all con
sumption at home, by the canners, etc.,
a fair statement would doubtless be very
nearly a million and a half of dollars.

No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines, the moment
this little machine is seen to periorm its won

utility are banished, and the d o ubter and de
