AN A8PERSION, AND REFLECTIONS THEHE

Figures of rhetoric drawn from figures of the arithmetic may not excite the sort of interest that attaches to Dickens' stories and Thackeray's ballads, and the like. Or feveii to a wfcll written editorial, but thiy hi ay serve to ttiake some addition to our MOck of knowledge, and divide our attention with other niatters. without subtracting from onr general welfare.

The distributions of the school fund, made by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, in May OctoBer of this year, are items,of coas|jerable impor-,| tance, and as they mavtaiot Ijafe Bfeeii by gome, I v/ij Intake the^l^ertjf off Sitakirig thenHHe pretext for propounding .. ,T.™ coiiuiidrutii.

says further: "It requires

no statesmanship to pay a public debt, when the means to liquidate is ground out of the people by a forced levy upon their earnings and property."

There is a great deal of the concrete Democracy in that sentence, as you will see by noticing it carefully. ^J^pl^ws that taxes should not be KSvieiHiptm the e*m-r ings and property of the people, not by no means. Something else should be scared

But what sort of statesmanship is it,that for the sake of popularity, and for the purpose of disguising the real state of affairs, will not tax the people to liquidate a debt th&t resorts to all kinds of maneu. vers to obtain money to pay interest, and by so doing forces the growth of a foul thing that some day must be cut away, at some pain and peril, tol|ve tlm^e o{^p

HONORABLY DISfcHARSED.

Robert Martin, accused of having a silver plate for printing Sub-Treasury checks in his possession, has been honorably discharged, it being proven he was employed by the Treasury Department to make the plate.. miJrchani's exchange banK.

Investigation of tlie defalcation- ill the Merchants' Exchange Bank has gone so far .as to justify the statement on ihe authority of Mr. Csilender, the National Bank examiner, that the loss to the bank is less than $100,000, and may not exceed $50,000. I#, any event, he says it will not exceed one-third of the surplus of th# bank at the last quarterly statement.

It is assorted upoft good authority, that Cornelius Oakley, brother of the cashier,^ was a ldrgfi, depositor^ and at.tjmes largely overdrew his account. His business speculations proved unfortunate, and he recently failed. Part of his over draft the bonk/Yjill recover, by means of -se,curities held by them."

Oakley's property and sureties will also go far toward making wp the loss. Oakley is on- duty at the bank assisting in untangling affairs, and it is not probable tlint crinfinal proceedings will be taken against him. The assertion that the peculations have been going on four years is contradicted, as the books are examined yearly by a competent committee, and at the last examination the aj£ fairs of the bank were correct.
