It is now boldly charged at Wash- | ington that tho impeachment of tho ? President waa contrived to divert j public attention from tho frauds now being exposed in tho Treasury De? partment. Tho developments, so far, arosnid to bo positively astound? ing. For greater facility in priuting bonds and currency, the original plates wcro duplicated, triplicated, and, in some instances, multiplied ad libitum. They were then used re? gardless of proper care, or system, and in many instances Lave since passed into thu hands of persons in no wise connected with tho Govern? ment, who are doubtless, for any? thing known to tho contrary, yet at work with them. Tho extra coupons of tho bonds aro being daily paid at the Treasury office, simply becnuso it is impossible to detect the difference between tho originals and the dupli? cates-tho genuino aud tho bogus. No ono seems to have the least idea of the extent of Ibo fraud, although Thad. Stevens hazards a guess at one and n half billions, thus making the public debt four billions, iustead of two and a half, as represented. One item alone points out from sixty to one thousand fivo hundred millions not yet accounted for. The most shameful laxity aud carelessness seems to have existed in every de? partment. No record has been kept of spoiled impressions. Thirty thousaud strips of bank note paper, capable of printing threo hundred millions, have disappeared. A deficit of sixty millions is shown in the fractional currency, besides an over? issue of twonty-fivo millions; to say nothing of tho vast sums squandered by defaulting officials. The disclos? ure of such a gigantic swindle in? volves, of course, all degrees of crime. Not only theft, but perjury, is ? boldly charged upon grave Senators. The utmost alarm, it is evident, per? vades financial circles, and Senator Sherman's warning would seem to in? dicate that wdiero bad begins there is "worse remains behind." - ACCIDENT AJJ FIRE.-Between 12 and 1 o'clock, on Thursday night last, u fire broke out in tho store? house owned aud occupied by Mr. T. J. Woods, and being under such headway, nothing could bo removed beforo its total destruction. There wero at tho time several persons sleeping iu the house; none of them know anything of its origin, and each ono had but time to take care of himself. Wo regret to learn that Mr. Woods, in trying to Bavo his books and papers, got very badly burned, though it i?, ucl thought his case will bo fatal. Tho lower part of tho building contained a small stock of goods on which there was no in? surance, but wo are informed thnto n tho building there was an insurance of Si,500. - Darlington Southerner. A New York papor says that old maids aro on tho increase in that city, but it don't explain how thoy can in? crease and be old maids at the same time. SPECIAL NOTICES.
