The New York Sun of June 24th says,
in spite of the confidence expressed by-
Gen. Spinner and other officials of the
Treasury, no trace has been discovered o f
the 847,500 recently stolen in broad day­
light,, during business hours, and with
«i.x clerks present , from the cashier’s room
of the Treasurer of the United States. If
such things had not occurred before, the
theft might be regarded as most remarka­
ble.
But the experience has been too frequent
to cause much surprise. The boldness in
this instance is the only staking feature
about it. Impunity has given encourage­
ment to the patriots who handle the peo­
ple’s money and help themselves without
stint, when their private supplies happen
to run low. They reason that if members
of the Cabinet can grow rich in. office by
joining Rings, sharing in contracts they
control, and speculatig upon official infor­
mation, subordinates ought to be allowed
like privileges, since there Is no moral
difference in the two modes of stealing.

The following news items are taken from
thd Avalanche of July 2, and 3.
There is no m ethod of identifying the
ninety-five $500 bills, for, strange as it may
seem, although the issue o f this large de­
nomination is lim ited, it is not numbered
for detection, and hence there is no check
to stop the circulation of the m oney. That
fact was well known to the impecunious
officeholder, w ho selected his package
from a mass of others lying on the table,
pocketed it, walked out to- lunch, and
came back prepared to resign if necessary,
or to go on supporting the Constitution at
several thousands a year.
The country must be prepared for a great
deal of this sort of enterprise between this
time and the 4th o f March, 1877, when
the lease of Grantism w ill expire. The
Incumbents know it is their last chancej
and they mean to improve It by carrying
off all they can.
Mr. New, the successor of Gen. Spinner,
is expected to reach W ashington this
week, and then the counting of the notes
and bonds will begin at once, and con­
tinue until co m p lie d - This is a very se­
rious matter, and ought not to be trifled
with in any way. Injurious reports have
fe«en afloat for several years, affecting the
condition of the Treasury, and they ought
to be silenced once for all. There is now
an opportunity to make a thorough and
exhaustive investigation, by counting the
public money openly under proper restric­
tions, and in such a way as to end all sus­
picion o f any deficiency, if none exists; or
allowing the 'whole truth to bo known, if
there has been robbery on an extended
scale.
There are various modes o f m aking the
count. The usual plan of accepting pack­
ages marked as containing certain sums
as “ all right,” will Jail to satisfy the pub­
lic on this occasion. The contents of each
bundle must not only bo verified, but de­
clared to be A ee from counterfeits. It is
no secret that the bonds and notes o f the
United States have been largely counter­
feited, and some of them so successfully
as to defy the skill o f experts. To what
extent they may have been received at
the Treasury in good faitli, or been con­
cealed among the genuine issues by rogues
iu office operating for outsiders, is not
known. But if there has been such collu ­
sion, or if counterfeits have slipped in by
accident, there is no longer a reason for
concealment.
The retiring Treasurer owes It to his rep­
utation, and the incom ing Treasurer owes
it to the protection o f his bondsmen and
his own security, that the present count
should be perfect to a cent. A week or
.¡two of additional time is o f uo considera­
tion when compared with the satisfaction
that must follow such a course. An in­
complete count will only augment the dis­
