Treasurer's official state- ,nt tor March shows that during that month, the National debt was reduced in the sum of two million one hundred and eighty nine thousand, three hundred and thirtv-eifil't dol lars (12,186,338). This is a very gratifying financial exhibit for these dull times. Ji'DOi Paxtox, of Philadelphia, y ho was beaten hy Judge Gordon in the last Republican State Convention for Supreme Judge, it is said, will again l candidate for nomination at the next State Conveution, and m ill be backed by a unanimous dele gation from that city. Tnt rumor comes from Washing ton that the Democracy are casting about them for available candidates at the next Presidential election, and that a favorite idea at present is to run Senator Gordon, of Georgia, for Vice President, with a leading north ern man General Hancock or Thur man, of Ohio for President. The New York Tribune evidently aspires to a leading position in the next national election, we judge so at least from the savage and indis criminate vituperation it hurls at the present administration, its employees, and policv. A horde of thieves now control our national affairs, if Mr. Greeley's younjr man is believed It gratifies us to nee it stated that Governor Hartranft will appoint Hon. W. V.

This will be not only a proper but a popular appointment, as Judge Kctcham is an able lawyer and Las hosts of friends who look forward to a still higher position for him Tub importance of a few votes wns never more forcible proven than at the late election in Rhode Island The official vote shows that in the city of Providence six members of the Legislature were elected by majorities of three and upwards, while 6ix meni bers and one Senator entirely fail of an election, thus requiring new elec tions to . held at a large expense to the tax-payers. Ox cdnesday night of last week, ut Middleton, Wis., while exorcises were being held in the school house a lamp exploded, which set fire to the building. About three hundred per sons were present and became panic stricken. In the rush for the doors about forty persons were injured, four seriously. The fire burned about half an hour, when it was ex tinguished by two plucky women, who smothered it with overcoats and carjK.'ts. The Lnited States Senate, to which the country has always looked for prudence and conservatism, ap p ara to have lost its head in finan cial matters. Thus instead of curbing the tendency to inflation in the House, the Senate is running mad on the currency question. On Thursday last it voted for an additional Nation al Dank currency of forty-six millions, w hich if the bill becomes a law, will make the volume of that currency four hundred millions of dollars, while the amount of legal tender currency, fired by vote a few days previously, was made fourhundred millions, thus making the grand total of our nation nl currency eight hundred millions of dollars. tn the track, cu rying off portions crv. and a genera business, travel lirnl and a .1 1 ..1 l.i- !1C mi's nsau-u v of their mieiiin- 1 1 j i.ii put to an liupeuiieu, mi" " riot imminent. The cuizenssynipalhisedwiththestrikers, .t. shrift" was powerless, and Gov- crnor Hartranft was appealed to. 1 1 is .vmpaihics were with the unpaid workmen, but his duty was to pre serve the peace, so with the prompti tude of a soldier, he telegraphed the strikers and their friends that at all hazards he would preserve tlic peace and he promptly hurried fifteen hun- drcd soldiers forward to co-ui-'ii , with the Sheriff. ' Within forty-eight hours trains were again running, the i strikers had been paid by the com pany all that was due them, peace had been preserved, tlic law liaa been vindicated, and the troops were on their return home. I banks to the nerve and promptness of the uovcr nor, this very formidable looking af fair was quelled without bloodshed( and the pnblic peace maintained. When the new Constitution was being discussed by the press of the State, previous to its adoption, a few journals constituted themselves its special champions, and either pooh- poohed all objections as weak and silly, or proclaimed the objectors as venal, huckstering politicians, dread- in? a change as detrimental to their personal interests, and the public was daily treated to sounding homi lies on the blessings of promised re forms, and more particularly on the impropriety of taxation cud the econo my of appropriations to be secured bv the adoption of the new instru ment. Now we Iiud these same jour nals either boldly advocating or qui etly assenting to propositions appro priating a million of dollars to the Centennial and exempting college nronertv from taxation both meas- ures clearly prohibited by the new in strument. The consistency of these journals is quite as conspicuous a: was their immaculate action during the canvass. The Philadelphia and Heading, und other railroad companies, and the eity of Philadelphia, are resisting the payment of State taxes settled against iliem under existing laws, amounting lo a sum variously estimated at from a half million to a million and a half trf dollars the companies claiming that they are exonerated "from the payment of these taxes by a provision in the new constitution. In case these appeals arc sustained by the courts and some of the points are strong and well taken and a million dollars is voted by the Legislature for the Centennial, the State Treas urer will fiad himself nhort to such an amount as can only be made up by taxation on real estate. There appears to be but few dis- sentinsr voices amour the people of the State to Senator Hutan's proposi tion to enact a law empowering the Governor to appoint a commission of educated and Worthy men to select aud adopt a uniform system of school- books for the public schools of the State, which scries shall remain un changed for not less than hve years. As the law now stands, the adoption of a series is for three years, and each district is empowered to select for itself. The result is that scarcely two adjacent districts use the same series, the selections arc made bv di rectors unable to discriminate or un willing to devote the necessary amount of time to the subject to ena ble them to make wise selections, and cheeky book-agents, or perhaps mer cenary directors, teachers, or super intendents, with an eye to a tempting commission to be earned, entail on parents beavv expenses and an inte rior series of books. Moreover, if a uniform series be adojited, the fur nishing of the immense number that will bD required to supply all the the schools in the Slate for a period of five years, will enable the publish ers to furnish them at a much cheaper rate than they can now be put upon the market, when no safe calculation can be made upon the number re quired nor the probability of a con tinued demand for a fixed period of time. We trust, therefore, that the bill will specdilv become a law. OI'U WAKIIIKVTOX LETTER. Ir reports of the doings at the late English elections be true, the smart politicians of this country have yet something to learn in the way of courting public favor and procuring votes. It is alleged that a Mr Grant, to induce his election to Parliament by the voters of a certain district, purchased two hundred thousand dollars worth of carpets at Kidder minster, which exceedingly pleased the manufacturers of that article. Then he disposed of this immense amount of floor covering at a sacri fice of ten per cent, which very much gratified those who needed and pur chased the carpets. Thus Mr. Grant won many lnends and secured his election, although his enemies do talk of suits for constructive bribery. Hadn't our Legislature, when pass ing the act made necessary by the new Constitution, defining what ex penses a candidate may legally incur to procure his election, prohibit the purcb.se and resale of carpets and "nich!" I Washington I). C, April C. 1874. The most interesting topic at the Capital is the investigation of the Sanborn contracts before the House Committee on Ways and Means. It appears that in April 1872 a law was passed authorizing contracts with not more than three persons, to be made bv the Secretary of the ircasury to detect and cause to be collected Internal revenue taxes withheld. Said contractors were to receive fifty per cent of such moneys actually recovered and paid into the L. S. Ircasury. Several parties so licited contracts under the law, but like numerous similar contracts given out by the Treasury authorities dur- ng several vcars prior to the passage of this law, the contracting parties entirely tailed to detect frauds aud some of their contracts lapsed, or were, voluntary given up. More than a month after the passage of the law the now celebrated Sanborn whose name has been lately so much in the papers, came to know that sueh a law existed, and trying for the contract succeeded both in securing it, and also with it large sums of mon ey withheld from tho Government by various individuals and corpora tions. Noue of this money had been less than two, and much of it was ten years overdue. He employed assistants in this country and Eu rope aud is said to have'suent in his investigations at least 1120,000 He succeeded within less than two years in paying into tho Treasury nearly half a million of money which though overdue was either unknown to the revenue officers or was for years ignored by them as collectable claims, and would not otherwise have been collected. The magnitude of Mr. Sanborn's collections caused as usual great jeal ousy and envy, on account of the large sura which fifty percent, of the amount recovered yielded. Revenue officials joined in a jealous war upon Mr. Sanborn, and his operations have been denounced as fraudulent. The N. V. Tribune and other papers, auer tne tecretary or the Ircasury made a full report of what appeared officially on the books of the Depart ment, employed writers totally igno rant or the revenue unsiness to write up a great scandal out of what was a very simple matter or business, its nierity to denounce the pnymeut of Mr. Sunburn's share n ull such cu srs as a 2'rntul on th revenue. Such an idea is no le absurd than to denounce the payment of a reward often- 1 ir a detective who has secur ed :i .nl .derer, because ho did not als i i. as Prosecuting Attorney, J n l:r and jury at his trial and con viet" n. In some cases, which to the knowl edge of the Department Mr. Sanborn had been working up the parties finally sent the money as directed by draft to the order of the secretary and, without any authority therefor, named Mr. Sanborn's agents as Treasury officers, or refered to the Supervisor of internal Revenue who was authorized to assist in rt cover ing the money. At once tho news paper ' Daocs in the wood ' asserted that Sanborn was not entitled to a share of this, because somobody else had also something to do with the re covery of the money. To facilitate the detection and collection of this class of defunct claims, in some cases a nominal authority to act was given to Sanborn's agents, merely as a passport aud to secure the aid and co-operation of revenue officers. Thus S. S. A., which meant Secret Service Agent, was gravely announced as a nondescript 'Special State Agent Treasury Department." In this way it came to lie currently believed that Sanborn did nothing to earn his. fifty per ct, but the facts were pretty well set forth yesterday by Mr. Uaufield Solicitor of the Treasury, and other officials and it now wears quite a different aspect We shall soon have the figuers and facts respecting the educational progress of the United States for 1S73. The report of tho Commis sioner is now being printed. The book will not be so large in size as the report for 1872; but it will give much fuller information respecting our own institutions than that report. The most interesting table is that relating to educational benefactions. The tables show the name of the benefactors, the amount . of benefac tions, aid the name of the institution receiving the same. The aggregate amount for the year is $11,220,77, of which $V2:?U41 was given to colleges; $7M),r.S to schools of medi cine; $2;"2,00r to colleges for women $57.,241 to the high schools and academies; $37i,021 to libraries; $131 CSO to museums of natural history $10,000 to the deaf, dumb and blind; $152,840 to miscellaneous institu tions. Maryland is the favored State, its institutions having received $3, f03,19S mostly the gift of Johns Hopkins the old (Quaker of Raltimre in Texas the gifts amounted to $fi. 239 in Missouri, $2"l'.,000 Massachu setts, $1,0I7 f12;Kontuckv, $12.",425 Illinois, $37!,o39; Michigan, $14;",000 Nebraska, $22,000 Pennsylvania, $(107,824: Mississippi $3,000 South Carolina, $3,743; Virginia, $344,8."3. Judge Laurence, Chairman of the Committee on War Claims, present ed a report a-? a sub-eommitlce, which will be the majority report of the Committee, proper. It appears that there were about S00 war claims before the Committee March 1st, 1874. These, with the respective amounts are arranged under various heads aud form a grand total of '$lG,.r)00, 000. Pennsylvania's war claims amount to $ 4;.0J0!l.;. The discussion of finances was continued on Wednesday in the Senate. Rut for Mr. Rayard's ob jection to any cutting off of debate, the voting would have been fixed to Bogy's motion, to make the amount legal tender currency circulation four hundred million, the amount fixed by the House. Jf this fails, the next vote will be on the motion of Mr fechurz to fix it at .ioO millions, or a contraction of 20 millions. The transportation bill entitled "A bill to regulate commerce by railoads among the several mates is iuny what its title implies. On a motion made to table the bill only seven Democrats failed to vote lor tabling so that little need be expected from that side to sustain the bill to-day when it comes up for final action ihe special railroad interests as represented by Republican members seem to be almost the only opposition t will receive from the republican side. It is now pretty certain to car ry without considerable amendment. -Monthly report -o. it on commerce and navigation from the 1'urcau of Statistics, to be issued to-morrow will show 33 per cent, more importa tions of specie and bullion to have been imported into this country this year than last in eleven months end ing November of each year. In the same time our importations of mer chandise have decreased consider bly. Since writing the above a visit to both Houses of Congress has confirm ed the supposition that the House woud pass the Transportation! bill and that the debate would end to-day in the senate on the subject of finance. The Transportation bill passed by a vote of 121 for and 1 1 1 against with out amendment At four o'clock the Senate stopped miscellaneous debate, and only ten minute speeches are allowed previous to the vote which is to take place on the question of fixing the circulation at $382,000,000 before the adjourn ment. Senator I'hurman admitted that the contractionists have fallen off within a few days in the Senate and it is quite clcai that not less than the above named sum will be uotcd by the Senate to-day as the maximum volunin of currency.

Tho rum cyclone has struck New York at last. In Rrooklyn it came with all the force of a hurricane, and it is rivaling the Western movement so far as power is concerned. The drinking places ia New York, hy which saloons and groceries, in which liquor is the principal article dealt in, is meant, number 7,51 4; one to every 133 of the population. This is exclu sive of drutririats. club houses and Dla- ces of that class which dispense liq uors quite as lreely as the professed dealers. These furnish facilities cnousrh for drinking in all conscience. Wall street is full of drinking places, many oi them lurnished without reference to cost, for gambling in stocks and gold is a business so exciting as to require stimulents constantly to enable the gambler to sustain the drain upon Lim. The Astor House bar does an immense business. From early morn till 12 at eight the long bar is crowded with feverish-looking individuals, who keep the cool and self-possessed dispensaries busy. One thousand dollars a day for liquors alone is not a big day's work at the Astor. Delmonico's Rroad- ironi which Lis moiety arrises. Rut way place is another famous pi ace, luc yros, ,n question, seeing that then tho Brandreth House, St Nich mntchof the money was paid directly olas, Grand Central, New York Ho to the Secretary of the Treasury, or tel. and so on up, all on the west through the proper legal officers of j side. The east side has quite as the different localities, and the te-Jmany. The regular thin" for the regular drinker who is in business down (town, is to walk to his home, up above 20th street, and he is very ant to stop at every ono of these places and drink. Just at this time a series of meet ings are being held in all the church es and most ot the halls, the object beingio create a sentiment against the traffic and use of liquor, and to bo unite the pe iple epposed to it so that a raid will have some effect. The clergy are all in it, and many of the leading business men have come out and announced their willingness to give the movement all the aid in thoir Sower. 1 - ' is here with his Western laurels fresh upon him, and tho ranks arc closing for a big movement in BROOKLYN " - the women have taken the field with some prospect of success. One shrewd saloon man took advantage of the excitement to post bills all over the city, in the name of the Women's Committee, stating that a prayer-meeting would be held at his saloon a invcn evening. Of course his saloon was crowded from early in tho eveningtill after 9 o'clock. Then, as no women came, it crept through the wool of the thirsty crowd present, that the saloon men had made a rather nice thing by attracting them to his den. The unscrupulous fellow mmlf. GAveral hundred dollars bv his shrewd dodge. : TIIE WOMEN of Rrooklyn did, however, organize, and arc now on the war path. Last Monday they formed praying bands and visited various saloons, iu which they held services. These agencies can" be used in Rrooklyn as well as in the West, for Rrooklyn s a city of residences, and a very religious city. Rut they met with but little success. The saloon keepers were obdurate, and no result followed. They propose to keep it up, however, till they have crushed out tne evil in Rrooklyn at least. A NEW HORSE DISEASE. v A new disease has broken out amoug the horses iu the city, which, if not checked, will create as much trouble as the epizootic of two years ago. It i a complaint entirely dif ferent from any that has yet appear ed. Some horse doctors declare that the disease is of a mild type, runs its course in a very few days, never kills, that the horse does not suffer at all; that it merely feels dull, languid, un der the weather, rather sleepy, rather dispirited, like a . ward politician be tween elections. Other doctors in sist that the horse suffers intensely with an aching pain alternating with colic spasms, and that in many in stances fatal. One horse doctor in sists that the disease is a form f lung fovcr. Another is certain that it is a case of catarrh fever. This latter opinion is rapidly gaining ground, aud finds many advocates among the owners of horses affected, who are having their animals treated for this complaint In all the large stables the disease, whatever it is, has run through all the horses. In the stables 527 Wash ton street, a personal case has occur red. A horse was attacked twice by the disorder within two weeks. The first time he was sick six days. The second time the attack lasted half thai jxriud. The horse seemed to suffer as if affected with the quinsy sore throat. He refused food, avoid ed water, but did not lose flesh. In every case lut tUia tho animal Uo- camc thin, but in this instance the horse was, after the second attack, even fleshier than at first. His joints, have become stiff; he was unable to move as if he had rheumatism. He did not seem to suffer any, but was as inanimate as a log. The horse the day or night before is perfectly well ; when the next feeding-time comes he will not eat; he will not drink; his loins contract and the disorder is in full force, till at last it ceases as sud denly and as causclpssly as it appeared. One fact has been verified by experi rience; the disorder only attacks hors es of a certain age. Young horses and horses below 8 or 9 years are un affected by it; and females are less susceptible to it than males. The disease is spreading rapidly and so far no remedies havo been found for it. THE CHARITIES. A number of the professional phil anthropists of the city enraged at James Gordon Rennett, because h preferred to disburse his money him self, instead of putting it in their hands, attacked him roughly, an Rennett in turn, has has subjected them to a microscopic examination Quite a number of interesting facts have been developed, r or instance, there are seventy charities in the city governed and managed by "boars, "agents," &c. these chanties dis burse $1,700,000, . and tho cost of carrying them on foots up $185,000 Now, here is where Rennett gets them. Ot the seventy, eight are Catholic, and the eight disburse over half the entire amount at a cost of $23,000 ! To make the comparison more sharp and distinct he gives this instance: Ihe House of Refuge, Protestant chanty, collected and dis bursed $G1.000, at a cost of 33,238 while a Catholic Protectory, the same kind ot a chanty, expended $3Gj,000 at a cost of $10,374 I And Rennett pertinently asks-W here does the money go to ? What do the de mure individuals in black gloves w ho collect it do with it t And no one, as yet, has answered his question. The fact . is there is a small army of professional philanthropists who live, move, and have their being by the collecting and disbursing of money charities. Of every dollar contrib uted so many cents stick to their fingers in some way. . , Mr. Rennett is doing the charitable a good work by his timely exposure. THE CHINESE IN NEW YORK. Saving the cities on the Pacific Coast, New York has more Chinese resident, than any city in what may be called the civilized world. They arc huddled together in the most squalid part of the city, and though they live wretchedly, they manage to 6ave something every day, and many of them are absolutely accumu lating property. The emigrants are, to a large extent, men, - bot they all marry after they have been here a time. It is a singular fact that Chi nese men find their wive among the Irish. The Irish women of the low er grades have no objection to mar rying the pig-tailed Oriental, and thev all testify to the fact that they make good, kind husbands. The pro geny of these Mongol-Celto marriag es are larger than the Chinese, quite as nimble, lithe and active, and very much stronger. Rut it is a curious mix, iso't it . - FASHION. ) hats bus called out the bran momU'. ilhc elegant drawing room was crowded. Among tho nobby hats our attention was called to pretty ecru chip, embelished with French flowers and pure ostrich tips, also cx- quisitly cut garniture. A lovely cbapoau composed of grot desucz, in a soft, crray tint, reminds one of Quaker simplicity, and yet there is no lack of grace about this natty Easter hat. Amonir tho rschcrehc Easter block silk and camel's hair cloth appear to tako the lead in prom enadc isprinir suits. Uverskirts are not so extensively worn as formerly Tie neat little postillion jacket is quite a favorite with the lni tuns." Isn't that a descent from the sublime to the rcdiculous. ? A "natty Easter Hat !" indeed. Rut Speakin of HATS ANP Till NHS, It costs something to be a fashiona ble woman in New York. Tho sim ples bonnet, without flowers or feath ers, costs $20, and one as cheap us any woman of pretention would wear costs SoO. Then a .Spanish .Mantilla to suit that bonnet costs $3."0, the roses on it being $4 each extra! And these two articles, bear m mind, only commence the dress, borne ot your lady readers arc doubtless able to take the cost of these two items, and from the figures sec what the entire outfit from hat to shoes would cost. I caii't do it. Rut this I know; if 1 ever marry a woman or position in New lorkl shall examine the re sources of her papa before the cere mony is pronounced. 1 shall insist that the old gentleman settles on her at least $20,000 per annum. This sum will take an ordiuarv belle throu gh, unless she is very ugly, in which'acase more will be required. Rut think of a young merchant saddling himself with so expensive a luxury as a fash ionable wife! What certain ruin it is for him, if he happens to be in love with her ! Is it any wonder that so many young men live at the clubs, and keep rooms of their own, rather than marrv ? I think not. PlETKO. Horrible Tragedy . I 2u w Ail ncrtianrit; . Y,,.

Frisbee, the bartender, who happened to be sitting up with a sick friend discovered the (ire, imme diately rushed through the halls to arouse the guests. There were, in c'niing survents, a hundred souls in the house, and directly the corridors became the scene of the wildest dis may. The flames drifted up the wooden walls, and quicker than it takes to tell it, spread over the entire southern side, and wire curling in a thousand tongues from cornice and gable. The heat had the efTect to crack all the windows on that side of the bouse, and admitted the flames and smoke before the most expedi tious of the guests could put on their clothing. Men rushed almost naked into the hall, some not even taking their clothing in their arms, and, anxious only to escape with their lives tore up and down corridors, madly secking aomc outlet from the pursu ing qames. i he wildest uorror pre vailed. Many on the lower hall had found their way out of the building and the proprietor of the house, who was sick, had wen borne out. For an instant it was hoped that all would escape but again that hope was dash ed uy tne beseeching cries for help from those who had lingered to dress or in the excitement of the dreadful moment were unable to undo the fastenings of their doors.
