He has not guarded his treasury successfully, or he romances splendidly when he de clares that it has been surreptitiously relieved of $30,000,000. Can it be that this defalcation was fabricated to make it easy to back out? —Applications for passage in ships sailing from Havre and Bremen have become so great in numbers that every thing in the shape of a vessel capable of carrying passengers across the At lantic is now in service.

He has treated 200 eases witb but two deaths, while before adopting this method he lost one third of all his cases. The treatment is as follows: The patient is ordered tincture iodine ia ten to twelve drop doses every hour, well diluted with water, so long as the fever lasts, subsequently reducing to ten drops every two, and finally every three hours. Local applications arc made use of at the same time. These latter should be made by the physician at lea.-t twice a day. For internal use the decolorized tincture is used.

In order to utilize the large proposed expenditure of American capital in Mexico two things will be necessary. One of them is a stable internal government, and the other the abolitiou of the vexatious Mexican tariff. Revolution may be needful to bring this about, and the re sult may be a practical annexation—in a commercial point of view—to the United Slates. Without reciprocal free- t 1 ade between the two nations railroad investments in Mexico will be little short of worth'ess. —We said some time ago that we thought itvtranpe that the expenses of our national gcvemmeut were so large compared with those of the British government, taking into consideration the immense military and naval estab lishments of thntgovernment, and these continual exposures of corruption in the departments at Washington show where the money goes to. The latest ex posure in in the post office department, where it seems the government has beeu defrauded of several millions an nually, by collusion between corrupt officials and contractors in the letting of distant mail routes, and the worst feature of the whole business is that it is shown that the corrupt officials have friends among the members of both branches of congress, of both parties, who have undoubtedly shared in their ill-gotten gains. This man Brady, who has been invited to step down and out of the 2nd Assistant Postmaster Gen eral's office, has been in office for five years, having been appointed by Grant, , under whose administration corruption seemed to germinate and flourish like bad weeds. —The United States Supreme Court will adjourn With sonle 1.200 eases on , its docket, which it will take between j two and three years to dispose of at the ! present rate of progress. Add to this ' the facts that the number of cases is ! constantly increasing, that Congress is continually passing laws which throw new classes of cases into Court for final ; adjudication, that there are only six ' Judges fit for duty, while there are nine circuits in which the Court must be presided over by a Supreme Court Jus tice—and a state of things is presented which is its own argument for the ue necessitv of some relief to a Court which is all but swamped. The great delay which is now unavoidable is a practical denial of justice to many suit ors, and causes great vexation and loss to all the rest. The volume of busi ness is so great that the Judges now work from eight to twelve hours % day, without being able to prevent the accu mulation ot ca-es from increasing. Sev eral remedies for tills state of affairs have been proposed, and, unless some thing is done soon, there must at no distant day be a complete break-down of the systeiif of Federal jurisprudence Nothing is more necessary in a repub lic than thqt the people's copfldence ju the possibility of prompt and sure re dress of ftll wrongs," lu the" Courts, k Biwulii Ui pawirvwi.

The convention of the school direc tors of Butler connty, for the purpose '. of electing a County Superintendent of ! public schools, met in the court room yesterday afternoon nt one o'clock. R. A.

On motion, the roll was called and re j called when it was found that 239 di rectors were pre-eut, though three oth ers came in afterwards making the number 242. A motion was made and cariied, that directors then al>se»t and afterwards coming in should lie given a change to vote at the end of each bal lot. On motion the convention pro ceeded to nominate, when the four ; gentlemen whose names have been an- j ununced iu this paper were put in nom ! ination by their friends.

At the end of the 7th ballot the con vention made a hasty adjournment.

Higbee, the • State Superintendent will be present. —The time available for equiping the Mary and Helen, if she is to make an Arctic journey this seasoD, is fast running away, and work should soon begin in order to strengthen her for her The project was pushed through Congress with little reflection. The bill appropriating $175,000 was urged by that venerable sailor, Mr. R W. Thompson, reenforced by the experi enced Arctic navigator, Major Goff. The actual direction of the expedition has fallen upon their worthy successor, Judge Hunt. The Jeannette will not be overdue for a year yet, and she could not have been expected back last winter unless she had made a ridiculous i failure DeLong was fitted out for a i voyage to last until the middle of the i year 1882; hence the outcry raised at 1 Washington toward the close of the year 1880 was rather premature. But 1 the erudition displayed by Messrs, 1 Thompson and Goff ou the subjects of i cairns, ice floes, and pemniieau dazzled Congress, and the search was ordered. I'erhaps a f ter the Mary and Helen has gone to search for the Jeannette, it may bo thought necessary to send another vessel in search of 1 he Mary and Helen—that being one of the possible penalties of dabbling in Arctic affairs. —ln the House last Friday Ruddi man read his report, which performance occupied the attention of the members about half an hour. The report attacks the Attorney General for creating the inquiry on which his opinion on the legislative salary question is based and tak< s issue with him on his interpreta tion of the constitution, that it do"s not empower the legislature to lix a per diem compensation for members, quot ing numerous opinions to s'rengthen the position. The report claims that the Supreme Court has laid down rules which make it clear beyond all dispute that a statute duly enacted and ap proved cannot be safely disobeyed or practically vetoed by a dash of the pen of any public official aud that none but a competent jurisdiction may venture upon the reluctant i',nd delicate prov ince of subjecting such a stalute to the tests of adverse criticism and resistance. The portion of the Attorney General's opinion that the portion of the law fixing the salary of a member at SI,OOO a session can stand and the per diem feature fall, is assailed as untenable. Occasion is taken in several stages of the report to sarcastically refer to the Attorney General. It is claimed that 'the session is one, and entirety, from the first Tuesday of January to the hour of adjournment nine die ; the sala ry is one, an entirety, of payment for a continuity of official service.' The report was almost unanimously adopt ed and three thousand copies ordered to be printed. The Attorney General says the report is too ill-natured and vindictive to be strong. In the Seuate same day the judicial apportionment bill was passed finally. People arc Alwap Satisfied with the Goods they buy at II ITTKR •& RAI.STON'S, because the Firm do not allow any of their employ ees to misrepresent goods. —Notwithstanding General Brady's bold denial of any crookedness in the Star route business ou the part of him self or anybody else, it is difficult to see how his allegation that the transactions were all honest and straightforward can be credited by any sensible man who bas made himself familiar with the facts already brought to light. His card look- like what it very likely is-a piece of audacious impudence It is not | a new device for detected scoundrels to 1 traverse the charges agaiust them and to interpose their own unsupported i word against positive proofs of flagrant I wrongdoing. 'A suspension of public j judgment' is usually asked for in such • cases. General Brady does not employ j exactly this formula, but something i equivalent to it is to be inferred from ; his statement and appeal, j General JJrady should not have bean I allowed to resign his position as See- I ond As.-istant I'ostmaster-General. His . resignation certainly outiht not to have j been a.«ked, much less insisted on, if ; tlnre had been any probability that he was innocent of criminality in connec tion with the Star Route contracts, and if there were ground.-, for believing him guilty his resignation, even if volunta rily tendered, should not have been ac cepted. lit: should, on the other hand, have been impeached for malfeasance in office, with a view, in addition to the punishment that might be awarded by the ordinary Courts, to disqualifying him ffofti holding and enjoying any of ! Bee of honor, trust or profit under the j Uuited States. Mot only the Preai> ' dent "but all civil officers of the Uuited I an* liable to removal from uf fice on conviction for ar.d conviction of treason, bribery, "or other high crimes and misdemeanors." When General Belknap was allowed j to resign as Secretary of War the coun try was justly indignant because he was not impeached instead. Theoffiense . of selling post traderships, of which he was accused, was bv no means of so enormous a character as the alleged ut rageous frauds and robberies connected with the Star Route business. Nor were the facts developed in the expos ure of the doings of the Whisky by which the internal revenue was de frauded of large sums, a particle worse, j if indeed tbey were as bad. The rais- ; ing of ninety-three contracts from a few thousand to several millions of dollars wa» not only a big steal but a direct | one. It is silly to say there was no lire • where there was so much smoke. The ; Administration owes it to itself and to j the law to investigate the whole matter j • thoroughly, without regard to cost or consequences. If high < fficers of tbe . Government are found corruptly impli- I cated in it the virtue of impeachment, ■ as provided by the constitution, should ;be brought to bear upon them. It was ! decided by the United States Senate t | sitting as a Court of Impeachment in | 1799, by a vote of 14 to 11, that a Scu i a tor is not a civil i ffieer of the United ; States within the provision of ,he fourth ■ section of tbe second article of the C;>n | stitution It might therefore be diffi | cult, even if this decision is not regard ed as final and irreversable, to deal with ! members of Consress iu this way. But if any heads of departments, or chiefs of bureaus are guilty—as has been charged—an example might be advan tageously made of them. Almost lomig \?niu.
