December 7.—The recent stupendous Hodge defalcation has just had its sequel in a couple of thefts by officials belonging to tire Treasury Department, and holding otlice immediately under the eye of the United States Treasury. Tlie aggregate of the defalcations of these two clerks— for clerks only they were—is nearer sixty thousand than fifty thousand «fo!!ar«. The first is that of a eierk named Maiden, the disbursing otfieer of the eashrooiu in Gen eral Spinner's bureau, who has been pecu lating more or less tor two years and a half, until the sunt of his defalcations has leached figures between twelve anti fifteen thousand dollars. He is a man who had the respect of every officer of the Treasury Depart ment, and was formerly a merchant doing business in Boston. The crime was discovered only a day or two since, and had been kept very quiet, owing to a search which was making for new developments of criminal conduct, which came to light yesterday where least expected, in the discovery that the interest paying teller of the Tteasurer's otlice, a young m in named Seth Johnson, a native of Xew Yoik. and one of the most trusted clerks in the employ of the government, under the infatuation of stock gambling, into which lie had waded so deeply that ex trication was impossible, had illegally used fj»),000 of the government money, and. in the venture which was made with it. lost beyond all hope of its restoration. These facts, as may be imagined, created a stir in the department which lias been without parallel for many a long day. So sudden was the discovery of crime and so thorough the development of the facts in connection the development of the facts in connection with it that consternation alisolutcly seized upon the employes of the department, from the Secretary dow n to the lowest oliici.tls in the service. The treasurer, in whose otlice the frauds occurred, was shocked beyond description to find two men in whose integrity he trusted so implicitly thus violating cveiy principle that should' characterize m. ii hold ing such trusts. In Johnson's ease, par ticularly, he has great cause lor disappoint ment. for to him had been shown the fond est symptoms ot friendship and affection. To sum up. the government is out l>v this dual crime nearly if uot quite .-fbil.noii. yp ter a full consultation by the solicitor and other officers of the department. it was con sidered proper to arrest Marden. and he was accordingly yesterday evening taken before Judge Snell, of the police court, and being unable to procure bail, was committed to jail. A preliminary examination before the j police court will be held to-day. It is inn- mated at the department that another party is concerned in the abstraction of the lands, but Maiden asserts that lie alone is guilty. The pecuniary loss falls upon Treasurer .Spinner. Johnson had seemed despondent for some time past, and is now sick in bed. having been utterly prostrated when lie learned that his guilt was discovered. He says he had decided to confess the crime. Both Maiden and Johnson are married and re spectably connected. Marden has two children. Investigation into the accounts ot others is progressing. I i 1 J j i ol |U The Vidal in fferald fever epidemic there: The recent rains, frosts and freezes have, it seem*, handled "yellow jack" rather roughly at any rate he lias left us. and, without wishing to be considered inhos pitable, we hope be will never visit us any more. We believe, in all seriousness, the mortality attending the late epidemic has been quite unprecedented in the history of tlie ravages ol that disease. Let us look at facts. 1 he number of whites in our town— men, women and children, all told—was one hundred and fifty: tlie number ol whites sick ot all diseases during the prevalence of the fever, seventy-four: and the number ol w hites who died during same time, twenty-three. Tints we see that about half the white population were sick during the epidemic, and of this number about out in every three died. Can the statistics id any town or citv for any jM'iiod ol similar duration exhibit greater mortality! The houses here are sparsely scattered, ami of course the tow n is well ventilated: the streets have ever been kejit eh in and w ill compare favorably in this re.spect w ith those ot any other town. e suppose these to be good reasons why epidemics should not take fast hold ot a community. Now-, it we consider that iu a densely populated city, the number of in habitants in w hieh is say 120.000, had the number of deaths been jii ojicrtiiinate to the population, the deaths would have beeu 20 00 1 It may he that we are thus atfiicted or chasten, d on account of our sins, but truly wc can duiiie no other cause.
