MISAPPROPRIATION OP POBLIC FUNDS.
New York, Aug. 24. The supervising
architect has ordered the suspeusion of all
payments in the case of the new post', ffice
building in Kutaa City. A bad state of
things h is been developed there. At the
last session of congress $20,000 was appro
priated for the completion of the approaches
to the building, for a clock and f r sewer
connections. On the strength of this appro
priation the citizens subscribed S15.000 for
a tine cluck iiell, which was to enable the
residents o) the city an 1 vicinity, wilWhi a
radius of six miles, to keep the time and set
their watches by, bat months p.is-ed by and
there were no sigti3 of a clock. T.iis led to
an inijuiry, and the inquiry led to disagree
able revelations. It appears th it Supervis
ion Architect Bell has snent the whole
20,000, and that only ?H00 of that sum
has gone for any of the objects embraced in
the appropriation, This sum srsa paid for
an irn fence. The sum of 18,000 was ;uid
for a heavy marble wainscoting within the
postolhce for which there is no warrant in
the appropriation. The result is that the
a t ! accounts are suspended, and Mr. Bell finds

GLOOMY VIEW BY SHIPOWNERS.
Ne v York, Aug. 25. Xaver in the rec
ollection of the oldest merchant of this city
have the pursuits attached to shipping been
in such deolorahle straits a.s at present. It
is nearly a year since freights began their
downward flight. One hundred ouch rtei
ed crafts are injured to the docks, a majority
having been there for months. Seven steam
ers and forty three ships and barks are laid
up. Ne ,rly every nationality is repr. seated
by an array of idle vessels. Interviews with
ship brokers and others revealed almost a
belpiess outlook, though a few shipping
houses keep up good spirits.
"Freights for the next two years," said
one of the Kuger brothers, ship brokers Oi
Pearl street, "are likely to remain very low
When more touage is demanded by trade,
and one-half of the present fle;t is lost, there
will be a possibility of both sail and St ; m
ships returning their owuers fair interest im
their investm -nt, but as it is, v ssels eann t
earn enough to pay their owners for inciden
ts) wear;and tear nor to meet the animal pre
mium on insurance policies. Ao-ut uk
only trade now left a square-rigger in the
United States is in petroleum, and it is no:
unlikely th it it, too, will be carried b
steamers in a short time. Almost every ex
port is uow in possession of steamers. Tu
co istwise trade is still upheld by a few sin dl
vessels, but there is no telling how long that
will continue."
absent-mindedness which so distinguished
his days in the United States senate. Ttiey
say that in the midst of bis duties, the sec
retary will walk into his office, stroll down
the room of one of his suoordi nates and
talk for hours about tiie South, the mistake
of the secession movement, etc. At other
times Mr. Lamar will go out for a few uiiii
nt s' walk and forget to come back all day.
He has made no arrangements to go away
for a summer visit, but just takes things
easy here, alternately working and dreaming.
"That the republican and deinocr.tic jart
ies, in their failure to carry out the man
dates of the constitution against discrimina
tion in freight rates on our public lines,
merit the condemnation of citizens of the
commonwealth. "
The resolutions were adopted as read.
A campaign fund of $1000 was raised by
subscription ami cash. Barr Spangler, of
Marietta, was nominated for state treasurer,
almost by acclamation, several other candi
dates received 1 ut a few votes. After the
appointment of a state comnii1 tee and elect

Wheukas, The best iuterests of the re
publican party will lie- subserved iu the

ot the wishes of all classes of republicans
thr- otrh oriinaries hd .l for the eiectioo A

Resolved, As the judgment of tin com
mittee that all voters residing iu the several
assembly districts " this state who adhere
to the principles of the republican party
and whose intention is to act with the party
and promote its success by their votes and
influence at the next general election, be
invite !, without regard to any so called
fundamental test, to attend ami take part
iu s .id primaries; and this committee rec
commeiids all organizations of the party
throughout the state to act in compliance
with the foregoing suggestion.
Jacob H.-ss asked if the plan would not
interfere with plans already adopted last
year.
Van Cott said there wre thousands of re
publicans in New York city who did not
vote last year for a nominee for the presi-
d.-ncv. and it would be wise for the com
mit! ee to do all in its pow er to give thein an
oiiportnuity to vote tor the republican limn

To the Farmers of Benton and Linn Counties
I desire te remind you of the fact that I am still in the Warehouse business at my
old stand, and call your attention to the following reasons why I think it will be to your
interest to store your grain with me:
1st. Because the 0. I'. R. R. Company intend putting a side track to the river, thus
giving- lis a chance to deal with San Francisco buyers at higher prices.
2nd. I am in a position to take advantage of competition among the different lines of
transportation on the river, and secme the very lowest freight rates.
3rd. I have had twelve years experience in the wheat bnsiiiess, and can get as much
for your grain as any body else. Sacks always on band.
Thankinf vou for libcnil support in the past, I respectfully request all myold custom
ers to continue their patronage, and ask ail new men to call aud see me before engaging
elsewhere I sh.i make it my duty, as well as pleasure, to do a straightforward business
