Officers of the law, are said to be on the look out for the thief, or thieves,- but bo far as we know not even a clew has been discovered'which may lead to its re covery If impecunious . mortals such as usually do the'quill driving" for newsoapersby anyj,urri of; jthe wheel of fortune should become possessed of such a sum, we suppose they would swing to it with a pretty tight grasp, and we suppose these Washington fellows will do ;theamel a ! h 4 :t During the past ten years we have had hundreds of such announcements. Defalcations here, defalcations there, Credit Mobilier jobs f somewhere else, ed Sanbornayne1Tcoriira'(?ind lases looming up at every cstep, uu joi yet the country is apparently highly pleased with the state of the case. The great American public goes on, year J after year, under the belief that we are living under the "best government the world ever saw." We confess that the result of last fall's electrons,, were, J lusueah., iw.ii; .cyc aj ucuci,. ty i ministration party, arid a thundering manifesto ot disapprobation on the part of the American people, but the remedy has not yet been applied, and the thieves seem to be .just now acting on' the principle thafT, whatever stealing is to be done must be done at once. The corruptions which have grown up of late in $ie administration of the government, and which so to speak, are festering sores on the body politic, cancerous and gangrened, naturally call for relief. The Federal government, run at the present head strong rate, honestly (?) administered that is. not counting any stealing where a knowledge of the fact ever reaches daylight costs the peo ple, approximately, four hundred mil lions of dollars per annum. That is tour hundred .jniluons ol dollars are annually expended in the so-called le gitimate (?) expenses of the govern ment. To this must be added the lit tle sums, like the forty-seven thousand dollars alluded to above, wnicn are oc casionally picked up by the light fin gered gentry, who are appointed to of fice under the present administration, and for which no body in particular appears to be responsible jnow tne most oi this enormous sum is raised by indirect taxes. Every wear er of an ordinary suit of woolen clothes pays an indirect tax of forty per cent, every purchaser ol a sewing machine, pays even a larger per cen tage of tax, and indeed there are few articles in common use on which Un cle Sam has not got a claim of some kind in the shape of , an indirect tax, whiskey and, tobacco I alone paying nearly one-fourth of the whole amount it occurs to us it by any change m our system of laws, the people could be required to pay those taxes directly, that it wouldn't be long before there would be such an arraignment of pub ic officials and government agents as has. not been seen since the establish mentofthe government. , ,A man will willingly pay four dollars for a bottle of quinine, which costs thirty cents two dollars tax to the government and dollar and seventy cents to the 'middleman," because one bottle will ast any reasonable man forty years but if the same individual were allowed to purchase the quinine at prime cost, and were then required to take the government tax out of his a nrf.vat orri i.

A letter is published ;by Mr." Jeffer son Davis, in which he repels with warmth the broad intimation contain ed in Gen. Sherman's "memoirs" that he (Davis) was connected with the plot which resulted in the assassination of Resident Lincoln; whilst the story that when captured he "was travelling with wagon transportation and had a few thousand dollars of specie in a valise" is thoroughly exploded. Acting on the principle that blows should be given as well as received, air. lavis nr "-v " . administers a severe castigation to Gen. Sherman, charging him with a violation of the terms of surrender ac corded to General Johnston, and with the display of an ineradicable maligni ty- A convention of the packers of can ned goods was held in Philadelphia iTuesday. The object and purpose of this meeting is to secure uniformity in the standard of cans and promote the general welfare of this industry, which is yearly becoming more valuable to the country. Millions ot dollars are nvested in the preparation of canned goods in the United, States, and hence the importance of those engaged in the enterprise meeting together for consul tation and co-operation. Gen. Rutherford B. Haves, who has been nominated for Governor by the Ohio republicans, has already served two terms in that office. He was first elected in 1867, when Senator Allen G. Thurman ran against him, and again in 1869, by a largely increased majori ty, when the Hon. George H. Pendle ton was the democratic nominee. He was elected to Congress in 1864, and ran again for the same office in 1872, but was beaten by Mr. H. B. Banning. Going to the Dentist. I like to come across a man with the toothache.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.1 Leavenworth; Kan; June 3. jr The air has ; been filled, with grass hoppers all day7 flying "over, the most of them at a great altitude. Some of those nearest the ground : were driven by the wind a little to thes westward, but the general, course of the. body was from the south.. Some of those that have been . operating, here found their wings strong en ough to bear them, and fell in with the grand army for parts unknown, but tne most ot those that have: been, reared in this locality are still with es. Those who have, passed over to-day are supposed to. be generally from tbe Indian Terri torv and the southern oart of Kansas. and will probably be heard from soon in .Northern Iowa or Missouri, though they were flying so high that it is thought by some they will not come to the ground again before they get to British America.

Indians ar rived at Sully, to-day say that the country in the vicinity of the Block Hills is full of grasshoppers, but could not tell whether moving in this direc tion or not. Illinois. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. Champaign, III., June 2. The weather still continues fine, and all crops are growing well. The air is filled with chinch-bugs, and they will in ttfne doubtless deposit eggs enough to db the small grain much damage. Colorado beetles are not so plenty as usual, and a good crop of potatoes is expected. There will be but little fruit here this season, only strawber ries and grapes promising anything. In Texas. The Texas papers announce the ar rival of the dreaded grasshopper in some sections of that State. They are small, but have already begun the work of devastation attacking princi pally voung corn and gardeu vegeta bles. These insects have penetrated the heart of Kansas City, moving in a vast army, and going North. Trenches are being dug, and millions are slaugh tered, but nothing can stop the pests in their march. Their depredations are becoming very serious, lawns being stripped of grass and garden truck destroyed. Genealogical Department.

Ten days after the disaster this etter was picked up in the British channel and forwarded to its destina tion, and notwithstanding the salty bath it had received and the buffetings it had sustained, was still intelligible.

Witn lo years as a builder and 14 as an Architect, he knows just what is neces sary tor a mechanic to get along with, and witb tbis experience you will at once see that he has a pretty good knowledge of the business. You can judge for yourself as to whether a man is an Architect without be ing a practical builder. Some in this State claim to be Architects when they have no knowledge of the business and can only be called draftsmen, and need some one to in struct them at all times should they under take a job. For the last six years he has been employed in this State, and has done all the best buildings, with only a few ex ceptions in Raleigh. Goldsboro and Greens boro, and almost all over the State, where persons can see his work. In Charlotte he would call Attention to S P Smith's Iron Front Buil.iing. and Sims & Dowd's Store, and a number of the private residences here.
