T H E R A IL R O A D .
Last week we published the correspond­
ence between Col. Chapman and the Eng­
lish Capitalists, and this week we publish
a letter from the Col. in relation to the
same subject. The news contained in
these articles are meagre, but taken alto­
gether we conceive it is rather favorable.
We have no doubt but what the people of
Portland and W asco and U m atilla Coun­
ties will raise the funds necessary to make
the survey and estimates necessary, and
as required by the English Company, and
all com petent judges say that the cost of
the building o f the road, including the
rolling stock necessary for com plete run­
ning order, will not exceed 830,000 per
m ile, and if this should prove to be the
case by the survey ordered made, there
can be no doubt but what work will be
commenced on the road at an early day.
W hen the survey is completed to Uma­
tilla, and accepted, then the citizens east
at that point w ill be called upon to do
their part to make the survey and estima­
tes to Baker City. W e hope and believe
that our citizens will contribute their
quota in aid of this m uch desired and
greatly needed work. They are not asked
to give as a donation but will receive their
certificates for what they contribute, and
the amount will be returned to them in
in stock or other equivalents, besides,
they will be repaid in ten fold by the
increase o f their property and the price of
everything they m ay raise for market,
and when the road is in course of con­
struction and after it is completed they
will receive cash down for everything
they may have to sell. The Colonel de­
serves great credit for the untiring energy
ho has displayed in the matter of bringing
this great work to a successful point and
now, as heretofore, our people should aid
him. Let us all do our duty.
THE LA ST TR E A SU R Y
ROBBED.
The New York Sun of June 8th, says:
While a great many theories have been con­
veniently set up at Washington about the
mysterious disappearance of a package con­
taining ninety-five 5500 bills, and intended
for the Park Bank of this city, the bottom
fact remains that the money was stolen from
the cash room of the Treasurer of the Uni-
' ted States, and that the theft rests among
six employers who occupied it.
This and other packages were put up on
la st Wednesday morning, and passed through
tho usual routine before 10 o’clock. No dis­
covery was made until near 3 o’clock that
day, when the packages -were checked off to
be delivered to the Adams Express. So that
five hours had elapsed before the depart­
ment had any knowledge of the robbery, or
-could take steps to investigate it.
The parcel was small enough to be easily
-concealed about the person, and the thief
had abundant time to carry it off without at­
tracting the least attention, especially if he
was familiar with the habits of the office,
as is now generally believed. With these
advantages, it is not surprising that the
Treasury magnatos and their wonderful de-
- teetives have not yet struck the trail of this
robbery.
Large as the loss is, it will be more com­
pensated if a thorough overhauling of the
Treasury is a result of the present sensation.
Mr. Spinner’s office has been robbed more
than once before et tens of thousands of dol­
lars by clerks holding the closets personal
and official relations with him. And it is
notorious that the banks have been fleeced
through that oftice, by pretended deficienc­
ies in packages of currency sent for redemp­
tion, which had been tested and verified so
as to prevent any possibility of mistake. In
no instance was an excess ever known to be
reported. There was.no remedy against the
Treasury count, and these losses had to be
borne.
In 1873, bills of the denomination of $500,
aggregating a tenth part of the whole circu­
lation of greenbacks, were called in on the
plea of successful counterfeiting, which could
only be detected by Treasury experts." The
whole power of deciding between the genu­
ine and counterfeit notes was thus confined
to a few experts, who, if venal, might dis­
credit the genuine in order to conceal an
over-issue, or to create a panic in the money
market.
When the rival Rings were contending for
the printing of the notes last winter, the de­
partment maintained that counterfeiting was
impossible on account o f the fibrous paper
used, which was the exclusive property of
the Government. In answer to that official
assertion, one of the companies produced a
hundred sheets of this identical paper, and
it was shown that the hills of $500 denom­
ination which had been condemned as spur _
ious were printed upon it.
Congress has on various occasions indem­
nified Mr. Spinner and other public officers
for the thievery of their subordinates, so
that the bonds given to protect the Treasury
against such losses have escaped the penal­
ties and saddle the burden on the taxpayers.
As a necessary consequence of this laxity,
crime has been encouraged, the system of
accountability has been loosened, and enor­
mous sums have been stolen.
This experience makes it indispensable
that the count o f public money in the Treas­
ury vaults, which must take place when the
new Treasurer comes in, should be rigid,
thorough, and open, instead of being formal
eareless, and secret, as has been practice.
Who knows how many counterfeits are hid­
den among the packages endorsed as con'
taining a given number of thousands?
Strong suspicions exist in the public mind
o f deficits, false reckoning, and spurious
isgues. T h e y may be wholly unfounded or
partially true. It is only proper, therefore,
after the developments already made, and
r.be corruption which has been brought to

Bayard Taylor, the great traveler, poet
and writer, speaks of California and her
children as follow s: “ The children of
California are certainly a great improve­
ment upon those not bom among us. N o­
where can more rosy specimens of health
and beauty be found. Strong-limbed, red-
blooded, graceful, and as full o f happy,
animal life as young fawns, they bid fair
to develop into admirable types of m an­
hood and wom anhood. To them, loving
their native soil with no acquired love,
knowing no associations that are not link­
ed with its blue skies and yellow hills, we
must look for its proper inhabitants, who
will retain all that is vigorous, earnest
and generous in the present race, reject­
ing all that is coarse and mean. For m y­
self, in breathing an air sweeter than that
which first caught the honeyed words of
Plato—in looking upon lovelier vales
than those of Tempe and Eurotas—in wan­
dering through a land whose sentinel
peak of Shasta far overtops the Olympian
throne of Jupiter—I could not but feel
that nature must be false to her promise,
or man is not the splendid^ creature he
once was, if the art, the literature and
philosophy o f ancient Greece are not one
day rivaled on this last of inhabited
shores.”
T a m p e rin g W ith T he Judge.
A cattle dealer arrived in Paris with the
intention o f having his portrait painted in
oils. He applied to an artist near the
Madeleine, and, in concluding the bar­
gain, dwelt strongly on his wish that the
likeness should be striking and unmista-
ble. The painter promised that it should
be so. “ Indeed,” he added, “ I w ill ap­
peal to the m ost disinterested judge possi­
ble—to your own bull-dog; we w ill show
him the picture, and see if he recognizes
y ou .” Accordingly, when the picture
was finished, it was brought into the deal­
er’s lodging, placed on the floor* and the
dog was called in. He instantly ran up to
the portrait and began to lick it, wagging
his tail and showing every sign of de­
lighted affection. The grateful dealer,
convinced of the accuracy o f the likeness,
paid down the sum demanded by the ar­
tist, quite unconscious of the fact that the
“ counterfeit presentment” of his m anly
features had been well rubbed with, a bit
of bacon.
