FOR GOVERNOR IN LSVS,

OF FI.OYI COUNTY.
TUESD^, SEPTEMBER 18,187J.
ONE of the most dramatic and thrilling incidents of the recent trial at Versailles of the leaders of the Commune was that of the testimony given against Ferre by a M. Lanier, who, at the time of the German siege of Paris, was a lieutenant of a mitrailleuse battery in the garrison of that city. During the Commune he was arrested upon the charge of "conspiracy against the Government of the Commune." In his evidence before the court-martial Lanier said that he was first carried to the Hotel de Ville, and was thence sent to the Mazas prison. On the 23d of May, in consequence of the approach of the Versailles troops, he escaped from the prison. While making an almost hopeless attempt to regain his lodgings, situated in the Rue de Maubeuge, he found himself in close proximity to a barricade occupied by the Communists, and he was again arrested. He was then taken to the Mairie of the Eleventh Arrondissement, where several members of the Commune were in session. There he found eleven individuals, old scrgents de ville,wholikehimself,were under arrest, The party was brought before Ferre, who,with scarcely a glance at the unfortunates, cried out, "Let them be shot!" Recognizing Lanier, lie added, turning to his attendants, "and shoot him with the rest!" While the witness was giving his testimony the audience in the court-room listened breathlessly. Ferre, motionless upon his seat, and as pale as death, seemed to be stricken dumb with terror his ashen lips moved as if in speech, but no sound came from his throat, parched as it was with his mental agony. Finally, rising from his bench, he exclaimed to his counsel, "What the witness says is not true! he is mistaken!" The president of the court asked the witness if he recognized Ferre. "Yes," replied Lanier. With an eye freighted with terror, Ferre ejacuated, "It was not I!" Continuing his testimony, the witness related how he and his companions were led away. Ferre following them. Reaching a landing of the stairway, Ferra called for volunteer executioners. Several of the partisans of the Commune present responded with alacrity and stepped forward, pistol in hand. Two sergents de ville were then selected from the group of prisoners and were shot, Ferre crying aloud at the same time, Vive la Commune!" As Lanier uttered these words, a sliuder passed through the audience. Again did Ferre repeat his despairing denial—"It was not I!" And again did the witness, at a question from the President, persist in his recognition of the prisoner. Lanier then related to the court how four of the sergents de vile were thus successfully murdered, Ferre, meanwhile, lookingon at theirexecution.
As he concluded his fearful story, the audience turned their eyes on Ferre, who standing upon his bench, with his face pressed against the iron rails that separated him from the court, once more exclaimed, "It was not I! it was not I!" Asked for the second time by the court whether he identified Ferre, the witness replied that he was absolutely certain that Ferre was the man. The thrilling scene finally ended in as dramatic a manner as it had continued. As if fascinated by the steady look of the Commandant Commissairc, Who had not taken his eye from Ferre's face for a single moment, the miserable ex-Jeader of the Commune dropped into his seat, murmuring for the last time, "It was not I! It was not I!"
llow Ihe Money Goes.
Hon. Jos. E. McDouald, one of the Attorney's in the Brightcase, proposed yesterday to prove by the vouchers on file, the following facts: "That during the administration of Colonel Holloway as State Printer, from January 23 to September 15, 1865, was 1,763 reams. And offered to prove by the same kind of accounts on file that Samuel M. Douglass, the successor of Mr. Holloway, from December 1, 1865, to February 1, 1S67, drew for 2,068 reams, and that his successor, A. H. Connor, from January 23, 1S67, to January 23, 1869, drew for public printing, embracing paper $102,131.62, and that from January, 1869, to January, 1871, he drew 5,299f reams."
This evidence was not admitted by the Court, but the papers seized hold of it, and it is now published to the world. Over $50,000 per annum for State Printing. That is one of the ways the people's money goes. No wonder it is hard for the people to pay their taxes, when such robbers are continually taking from the Treasury and puttiug into their individual pockets, large portions of the money collected on the tax duplicates.
Why is not a grand jury enquiring into the acts and deeds of A. H. Connor, Sam'l M. Douglas and W. R. Holloway as
State Priuters.
IT IS not a little depressing to read the reports of the Spiritualist Convocations which vex the world from time to time but as illustrations of the character of this widely extended delusion, they have a certain interest. Mumblings, mummeries, and ravings they are but the psychological phenomena must be studied, nevertheless, like any other monstrous and abnormal development, mental or physical.
PROBABLY the most economical and honestly administered municipal government in the United States is that of San Francisco. It is averred that the discovery of what was thought to be an exhorbitant bill for stationery—amounting to $84—made more discussion in the excited Board of Supervisors and in political circles than all the Tammany frauds have ever made in New York. The total expenditures of the city government are light life and property are secure the school system is admirable and frugally conducted, and the police service is beyond reproach. San Francisco claims that she has gained all this by a fusion of all political parties in one organization pledged only to the support of the best men who can be found to accept office. And this is the only way the thing can be accomplished. The best men for city officials, no matter to which party they belong. The right man for the place, no matter whether he be a Republican or a Democrat. Let this common—sense doctrine be adopted, and we would soon have different city governments all over this country, and better ones.
Great Defalcation.
The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, in reviewing the history of Paymaster Hodge, whose defalcation to the Government, it is now ascertained, will amount to one million of dollars, presents the case as follows: "It is well enough to inquire how a Government officer, through a period of she years, can steal large sums of money, finally reaching the sum of nearly a million of dollars, without being found out, especially when it was notorious that he drove fast horses, lived extravagantly, dealt very heavily in real estate, and was always buying stocks. Yet Col. Hodge stole thousands of dollars, day after day, month after month, and year alter year, and regularly and deliberately lost it in stock gambling—not at once, but calmly, considerately and systematically dayafter day,he poured the money into Wall street by bushels. The Lord only knows how much longer the thing would have gone on had not the Paymaster General, General Brice, becom#sober one day by accident, and during the solvency of his mind, discovered the defalcation.
It is cruelly hinted, this morning, that General Brice is not wholly ignorant of where a portion of the money has gone, but farther than being addicted to too much soda-water, or other cheering beverage, I think Brice is innocent. Of course he is culpa ble to that degree where lie almost becomes an accessory for net having discovered the criminal practices of his deputy years ago but the auditing and money branches of the Treasury Department are still more so. The fraud has not been confined to misappropriating money, but forgery of the most glaring character has been practiced.
HOW IT LOOKS.
This has been going on for years, and yet the Second Auditor's office has not discovered it the Treasurer's office has not discovered it the Paymaster General has not discovered it. Good God, gentlemen! do you pretend to be fit for your offices? Have you no better system of checks or dishonesty? Does it take six years to find out that a man is stealing? Must it reach a million before it is discovered?
How will the people look at this thing? Let us see. A Paymaster General, a notorious drunkard, who probably sees fewer sober moments than any man in Washington. Col. Hodge was his Deputy. Their offices communicated. Hodge waa his pet. He always had the best service there was to give. He was never sent to the front during the war. At the close he was not ordered to the South, or to the Plains he was retained in Washington—no service in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, or the West. He was kept by Brice because, forsooth, Brice could "trust him." He did "trust" him with a vengeance! I imagine he could trust anybody in that way. Might he not, with equal safety, have trusted those universal acquaintances of childhood. Jack Shepard and Claude Duval. "Would it not have been better to have got a suspicious Paymaster and watched him a trifle? "Well, we have first a drunken Paymaster Geueral.
ABSENTEES.
Next we have a General of the army, named Sherman, the superior of General Brice. Where is he? Absent from the city. Next we have the Secretary of War, a gentleman named Belknap, the superior of the General of the army. Where is he? Absent from the city. Next we have a President, the superior of the Secretary of War. Where is he? Absent from the city.
Take the civil branch. First we have a Second Auditor of the Treasury, a gentleman from fliaine, by the name of French. Where is he? Absent from he city. Next we have a Second Comptroller who makes decisions on the Auditor's accounts nrmedBroadhead. Where is he? Absent from the city. Next we have the keeper of the money, called the United States Taeasurer, a regular Joseph among a thousand Potiphers—and his name it is Spinner. Where is lie Absent from the city. Next we have the Secretary of the Treasury, a resident of Groton, Massachusetts, a gentleman by the name of Boutwell, who is superior to the Second Auditor, the Comptroller and the Treasurer. Where is he? Absent from the city. Next there is an individual addicted to the amusement of smokiug and somewhat famous for appointing his relatives to office, and also familiar with the habit of accepting presents, which his name it is Grant, and he is the superior officer of the whole lot, and as 1 have said, he too is absent from the city. Now all these
toss
pen are more or less responsible for the by Hodge. Can they expect subordinates to do what they will not do themselves, namely, attend to business? 1 will say this for Sherman, that when the embezzlement was di«coveited he came home at once in response to a telegram, and in justice to Belknap, who was also telegraphed to, he is expected today. 1 rather think the thing, after a while, will be pretty hot for Mr. Auditor French, and he will be on the homeward bound.
I have placed the amount of the loss at nearly a million, although the Government officers said yesterday that it was "only half a million." To-day it is generally believed in the streets that it will nearly reach the figure stated.
SECRECY.
They tried (by "they" I mean Sherman, Brice, Eaton and the whole regular army clique,) to keep the mal||r secret at first, and they succeeded in keeping it out of the papers for several days but when the truth began to leak out they were very silent and very ignorant. "They didu't know auything about it, you know there was a hint about it but it was nothing they knew* nothing about it, of course!" Finally, when one of yonr correspondents had convinced General Sherman that he was not to be put off, tnat he knew something about it, and was going to know 'more, Sherman came down somewhat, and he wrote General Briee this note:
GENERAL BRICE: "This correspondent has found oat something. Better tell him as much as you want the public to know.
SHERMAN."
And in accordance therewith General Brice has told "as much as he wants the public to know," and the Lord only knows what more is left to tell, but there is something. He will try to shield his pet as much as possible. But the Treasury and the War Departmeqt have got
up a little controversy as to the responsibility of the disaster, and between the two we are likely to have all the facts before long. The Paymaster General says it is the fault of the Treasury that the discovery was not made long ago,and Treasury officials attach the blame to the Pay Department. Some of the clerks say that if Brice would drink less whisky and look after his Department a little sharper the business would be better done. But as for that, would it not be well for Government officials to drink less of the spirit of restlessness, and stay at home. It's no worse to neglect your business on account of drunkenness than to neglect it on account of absence—except that drunkenness is a trifle more severe on the officer.

Recently a nondescript concern, manipulated by a couple of Chicago Wholesale Merchants, came into Terre. Ilaute to make money out of the UNPAID FOR STOCK of A, Johnson & Co. We soon found out that these men were running a regular "Peter Funk" establishment, and that they refused to sell anything that did not bring a big profit. We were shown many goods bought of them Ar which the buyer had paid nearly double our retail priccs, and in no case that came, under our observation had the goods been bought as low as we would have sold them. We therefore proposed to drive these illegitimate dealers in IXPA1D-FOR GOODS out ot town, EVEN IF IT TOOK A LOSS ON OCR PART OF FlIhE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO IT. To this end we immediately closed up our store for one day and marked down our entire stock, in many cases to FIFTY CENTS ON A DOLLAR, thus Yirtually selling

The intelligence of what we have done has run like wild-lire all over the country, and the people are gathering together what ready money they can and are hastening in to our great sale. Within a. few days we have sold many
