JSJsEKr. contr.c" w.th the Treasury p,T.rtment obtained mon-ShKwf-fwy . which wm de and parable bJ virtuc of ,, J "'contract. Hence there could be no fraud or crime of any kind connected with the prosecution which utterly failed for this substantial reason. Yet the "ew York Tribune whose indenendance rcpardinpr government transactions like that of its Washing ton correspondents consists or an independence of troth and honesty bas the effrontery to say in the face of Lis Secesion and of the facts that tbe case was dismissed on account of a fatal technical error is the in dictment and that the question of their guilt or innoccne has not been tried. The animus of this wreatched fizle on the part of District Attorney Tenner i8 brought out by the admis sion of the Tribune editor that this District Attorney procured important papers in the prosecution from the Tribune office. His opening ppcech in which he stated that "the Tweed charges paled in significance before those is this case," was published in substanc all over the country and vet the very contract on which be based a charge of withholding from the Treasury less than $200 of tax was the rround of his failure and of tbe exhibition of the fact that he was capable of understanding the simplest rules of construction regard the statute on which the contract was founded. Tbe Tribune editor plain ly falsifies the record of Judge iicn cdict'a decision at the same time that he admits it to oe correct, by alleging that it stated that the law allowed Sanborn under his contract to take 50 per cent of taxes which he had no share in discovering or collecting. This neither was the fact nor was it so decided by the Court It was de cided that the pointing out of the tax es withheld specifically under oath by Mr. Sanborn was rendcrin all the assistance in their collection that tbe law or the contract required. His position was that of informer in discovering and aiding the collection of overdue taxes withheld by persons and corporations. With the most reckless disregard of the truth, the associated press reporter and the Tribune both state that Commission er Douglass testified on Tuesday be fore the Ways and Means Committee that all the Sanborn claims were in course of collection before Mr. San born procured his contracts. Mr. Doaglass denied this positively yes terday, and states that he said simi lar claims or claims of tbe same class were in course of collection !y tbe revenue officers. He never denied that the particular claim were for taxe9 withheld and from two to ten years overdue. Secretary Richardson's evidence given on Tuesday was also grossly dis torted as tbe published testimony will show when the official report is made. He said that in routine business where the law and tbe transaction under it was plain and unquestioned he looked only to tbe endorsement of the Chief of Division having the special busi ness iu hand, and that the Sanborn matters mere of this character. It is a well known fact, and be never stated to tbe contrary, that when any d ubt of law or fact arises, the spe cial attention of tbe Secretary is al ways called to such cases, and ample time is given for a thorough personal examination. This was, not dene in the Sanborn matter, because it was a plain and simple carrying out of a act of Concres8 in the interest f tbe public ervice. Tbe gleanings t,f tbe well-worked field of internal revenue to tbe extent of $425,000, a moietv of which has been saved from loss by tbe Sanborn contracts, should be bailed with proud satisfac tion by tbe country. Instead ofcal umny and clamor, thanks should be extended to tbe Department for cf fnctinir what Derhans could never have been achieved by a less well paid and competent corps of experts. The fact that it was an unparalleled exploit in the detective business is all that has made tbe matter famous and aroused so much ignorant opposition and jealousy. The peaceful termination by arbi tration of tbe issues between the gov ernments of tbe United States and (Jreat Britain, trowing out of our civil war. demonstrates that a large proportion, at least, of the differences arising between nations mignt be peaceiully adjusted by an interna tional tribunal Indeed, even the expense s and possibly bad feelings at tending arbitration would often be avoided by tbe establishment of such a court England, for example, would not have permitted the Ala bama to be armed or manned in ber ports, and to sail from them to prey upon tbe commerce of the United States, nor would our government have permitted men to be recruited in America, and to sail from an American port, with arms and am munition, as in tbe case of the Vir ginias, for the avowed purpose of in vading tbe territory of a friendly power, if it had been known that heavy damages, awarded by an inter national court, would have been tbe inevitable consequence to any nation allowing such rebels to fit out in and leave her ports. Tbe monthly debt statement shows that the payment of the debt is going forward again with reasonable speed. A reduction of f 2.189.338.4C during the month of March is a subject for congratulation. Two months more at tbe same rate will wipe out all the increase of debt incurred by tbe panic scare. J. Ambler Smith yesterday intro duced a bill to prevent government clerks in the Departments from prac tising as claim agents for three years after discharge or resignation. Such a law ia already in existence, but re fers to appointments made after its passage. If Mr. Smith means to change the relations of clerks to the government after they are appointed his purpose is highly inequitable, as it will be impairing the obligation of an lmptiea contract made when clerk are induced to settle here with their families and to break up their previous business connections. Tbe law as it now stand, i a notice to all appointees since iu passage two years ago, and is all that can reason ably find favor in Congress relating to claim business by former clerks. It appears that the new Congress men are besieging tbe Secretary f tbe Treasury to make places for their lady friends" without regard to com petitive examinations. The new civil service rules may be objected to, but J u wiu not be the part of justice to unui aside those who have been called here from distant cities, and . hare passed examinations under tbe promise of appointment when va cancies occur, in tbe order of their standing on the examination lists. The completion of the Washington and Ohio Railroad to Purcelsville, Va , was celebrated yesterday by an excursion party from Washington to the latter place and a dinner, speech es, Ac. It is believed that the road will be extended to the conl fields the present year. The colored people of this city have already made arrangements for the celebration of emancipation day the ICth of April in a becoming manner. It is now thought here that Gen. Burnside has a majority in the Ilhode Island Legislature in iavor of eject ing him to the United States Senate. The late election resulted in the elec tion of Republicans to the Stato of fices and a large majority in tbo leg islature. ThA riod lock in tbe Massachusetts Legislature on the question of elccW ing U. S. Senator continues. The currency question is exciting both bouses of Congress. It ia said that the free banking bill, which is likely to become a law, will increase the currency of the couDtry 110 mil lions. The contractionists are furi ous, while tbe expansionists are in the most amiable mood imaginable. Mr. Sherman is working to retire 50 per cent m greenbacks, as the new bank currency is issued, which will cut down tbe increase, n adopt ed, to one-half the amount named, or 55 millions. In the last six months a number of pensioners have been dropped from the pension rolls through the thor ough scrutiny of the present Pension Bureau. The saving to the govern mcnt amounts to $2,000 per month Widows, whose husbands served vol untanlv in the Confederate army, were found on the rolls; widows who have since re-married, but continued to cover up their marriage and to draw their pensions as before; and in one case a mother of a deceased soldier worth $100,000 received pension on the score of ' dependence.' The investigation into tbe expendi tures of tbe Department of Justice for the Western District of Arkansas is going on. Mr. Whitney, chief of secret service, has been on the stand' and has implicated Judge Story by bis testimony to tbe effect that tbe Judge and others connived at extor tion and divided tbe proceeds among themselves. What may be shown by tbe defence is yet to appear, and it is uot always safe to decide a dis puted point bv hearing only one side. LIFE. A paragraph is going the rounds of the papers that an invention for water-proofing clothing, make it "hold water like a pail," has been brought out in Springfield. We guess tbe in vention is not a new one. About ten vears ago a Hartford sporting man wasbitto the tunc of $100 by just such an arrangement. He had never heard of the trick of water-proofing cloth, but the chap who took him in had, and "laid" to trap him on the scientific discovery. He sent a pock et handerchief by mail to the firm of Cowles A Co., then on Courtland St., with the request that they would water proof one-half of the handkerchief, leaving the other half in its natural 6tate. This was accordingly done, and duly returned by mail. Then B., who bad designs on the sporting man whom we will call P.. laid low for ducks. He invariably carried the magic handkerchief with him, so as to be ready when the proper occasion presented itself. lie had not long to wait, for the sporting man had a penchant for bantering 15. to bet. If the latter attempted to make a positive statement about any thing P. would invariably cap it by offerinjr to bet that it wasn't -so. One day, while ia company with sev eral persons, the sporting man being present, B. modestly took from Lis pocket the magic handkerchief, and handing it to one of the gentlemen, quietly remarked: "Do you observe anything extraor dinary intbeappearanco of that hand kerchief?" After a close scrutiny they all agreed they did not "Very well," answered B. "Now I dare say that some of you might be a little astomsnea h i snouia ten you that I could make that handkerchief hold water or not, at my pleasure." This statement was greeted with a loud laugh,' and of course P. wanted to bet $100 on it B. turned to tbe latter with an injured look, saying: "Why arc yon eternally upsetting my statements by offering to bet they are not true?" " "Then whv in thunder," retorted P., "don't you say something that a man can believe?" IS., pretenaing ro get mad, an swered, "You ain't got pluckcnough to bet that two and two make four." This brought out P. with his pock et-book. In a few seconds, $100 a side was put up, hinging on B's. abil itv to make bis handkerchief hold water or not, just as be desired. The sporting man was delighted that be bad bullied B. into making a bet at last And such a bet P. thought he bad a sure thing. It was surer, if possible, than three card-monte or tbe nimble game. A pitcher of water was brought, and B. stood ready with his bandkerbicf for tbe trial. "Now" said B., "what shall I do?" "Well, Mr. B.," cunningly remark- I, "if you have no objections, I would really delight to see that band- kerchief bold water. "Pour" said B., holding the hand kerchief with tbe waterproof side un der the nose of the pitcher. And pour they did. and not a drop of water went through. "Are you satisfied that it will hold water?" asked B. Perfectly," responded P. "Then I suppose tbe stakes are mine?"querried B.t as he flirted tbe water from tbe handkerchief. "Not much," vigorously answered P., keeping bis eve on the handker chief. "I want to see that bit of cloth not hold water." "All right," said B. "Pour!"' This time the other half of tbe handler chief was presented to tbe nose of the pitcher, and to the great Astonish ment oi the cunning 15. tbe water ran through in a stream. &on:TT exclaimed P as he start ed for tbe door. "I am going to New tiaveu to get square." , , Frail rrMperli. Tbe fruit prospects, so far as the life of tbe fruit buds is concerned; we Icarn, seem vcrj good tltia season ; but mere winter temperature plays but a minor part in tbe annual fruit snaw. or course, when it kills tbe Wis on tbe branches there is an end of fruit for that season ; but after it lets tbe buds get through, it merely Sires them into the hands of other natural forces, which take their turn in obstructing productiveness, ' It is no uncommon thing to bare peach anb apple orchards perfect sheets of bloom, and yet hardly a fruit follow, i All we can sajr of fruit prospects is that the buds have not been killed, and this ao far, is in faror of good fruit crops. Mhoroughbred is tcringiven animal descended from parents which both Ix'longing to the same recognized breed. A breed is a gradual growth during two years, often centuries, of a cl s f animals which possess some m? c distinguishing points or char ac ;ritics. Its perfection is arrived a I'v a course of skillful breeding of It oted animals, each one chosen for tnc especial purpose of making more distinctly somo desired characteristic. This course is persevered in until each animal is able to reproduce itself ex actly and infallibly, and the chic, characteristics of the class of animals arc indelibly fixed so that each young animal produced is a type of its class. Such a class of animals is then reor ganized as a breed or as thorough bred animals, and its decendauts without admixture of foreign blood are "pure bred" or "Thoroughbred." There are very few really pure breeds however; that is, races of animals which reproduce themselves exactly in cokr and form. The Devon cut tle are one of those pure breeds, hav ing been from time immemorial exact Iy what tbey are now, and reproduc ing themselves exactly in form, color and everv other characteristic without failure. Our native Buffalo is anoth er pure breed of caitle, as are also tbe wild cattle of Chillingham, and the dun cattle and tbe buffalo of Italy. The term breed is given to the Ayrs hire, Jersey, or Sothern, because al though they do not reproduce them selves exactly yet they do so with sufficient closeness to preserve their disiiniruisbioir trails of character, As thev are rccoenized as breeds their unmixed descendants are called thoroughbred. If their blood is mingled with that of another claps whether that be thoroughbred or not tbe "thouroughncss" is lost and the produce is a grade. That produce can never be broupht back to a thor oughbred reallv. There will alwavs be a stain, and although that stain may be continually diluted with each generation the point when it is sup posed to finally disappear has never been satisfactorily fixed upon. I be startmjr point from .whence either of those breeds sprang is not known. Tbo original source arc like those of a river, issuing from many springs. In course of time all these smaller streams gather into one which con tains the elements of each consolidat ed. So it is with either of these ra ces of cattle. Having been first ob tained from some accidental mixture and exhibiting some strong points of excellence, the original stock were iuterbred one with another. A Juvenile Wmndrrtr. A telegram from Dayton, Ohio, states that a lad about fifteen years of age who said that bis name is Allewalt was taken in charge of by a police of that city on the evening IMth inst, while engaged in t .e act of trying to pa irn a valuable gold watch. Alle walt says that Lis parents reside in New York City; that be ran away from Lome with a minstrel ccmpany about two years ago, and that be has since that time been traveling over the country, but has never written his family, or heard directly from any of its members; that he son.e time since lost bis situation, and since then has been obliged to part with his baggage and jewelry, piece by piece; and, having determined to go home to his parents, be was en dcavo ing to sell bis watch for tbe purpose of raising tbe means. He was held uutil references be gave in Cincinnati could le heard front. The dispatch adds that Allewalt is a small lad for his age, has fair complexion with slight freckles, blue eyes and light hair. He is inclined to lisp and is very bright He is evidently wanted somewhere. A Bark Attacked fcy a;'aale. The bark Kate Williams, Captain Hale, of tbe regular line between Boston and Bayal, which arrived at Boston on Friday last, had a remark able escape on her passage. The Boston Journal thus describes the in cident : "About seven o'clock one morning a seaman aloft cried out that there was a whale on tbe port bow Captain Hale stepped to tbe port quarter, and almost immediately could have laid his hand upon the upper jaw of a sperm whale which had paid an unwelcome visit to the vessel. It was a cow whale about sixty feet long, which bad 6et upon them, and bad she struck the vessel a little further under, tbe Kate Wil liams would probably never have been beard from after leaving Fayal As it was the vessel received a pretty good schock, and lost a portion of her mizzen channels. The monster had seen the bark about the time the sail or discovered her, for she immediate ly sunk and came up with great force right at the vessel's stern. Captain Hale thinks her mouth measured at least fifteen feet, and ber under jaw was felt to scrape the bottom of the vessel as she glided swiftly away from her unexpected enemy. The whale fared as bad as the bark, no doubt, Tor the quarter deck was cov ered with pieces of tbe leviathans outer skinand tbe 'mud' that is tonnd between it and tbe tougher bide. The Kate Williams was sailing rap idly at the time, and in about fifteen minutes the fish was out of sight While the latter could be seen, she appeared swimming abont looking for the vessel and evidently in a rage. - .

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vix egah Bittcrs tho most wonderful In viporant that ever sustained th sinkicg sy.-fem.

Iu their treatment, a purgative, exci ting a pow erful influence uikmi these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for "the purpose equal to Dr.. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily rcmovo tho dark colored viscid niatter with which tho bowels arc loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the hotly against disease by purifying all it3 fluids with Vinkoar lmi-:i:s. No epidemic can take hold ef a system thus forc-armcd.

For Inflammatory and Chronic I'lieiimatism, Gout, Bilious, lterait- tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of tho Wood, Liver, Kidncj3 and Iiladder, the.se Hitters have no canal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.

For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn "of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever yoa iind its impurities bursting throuph the k;a ia Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluppish ia tho veins; cleanse it when it if foul ; yonr feelings will tell vou when.
