The *do ur die " principle in Mike Evanals evidently very rtrong, and he does not propuse to give up his attack on the South Town Col- lectorship as long ns auything of the fiscat year reratns o which to work. Yesterday he filed another petition against Rohert T. Liacoln to compel him to approve bis last bond, which was offered to tm Wednesday, Evana goes over the rame old ground of his clection to ofiice, his acceptance, and the repeated but nnsuceess- ful attempts ha has made to have his bohd ap- proved. \When the first bond was rejected he offered nnother, with the additional names of Tenry Harme, W. M. Devine, J. H. McAvoy, Samuel Rowe, C. Casselman, and K. G, Schmidt, oud sent n note asking for a reply fn writing, Ife pgot it and his bond, azafn without approval. Mr. Lincoln carefully keps himself within the bounds of the revent decision of the Clreult Court Judges, and #2id the bond was not such as a reasonably pru- dent man would accept, Leans turther xava that the taxes for tho South ‘Town arc 30#,410.13, but that owing to the shortness of the thue lie ean at best only collert. 300,00 0r £500,000, and that by thelaws of e Biate ran»cllluz liim to matic perfodicnl pay- ments Lo the Comptroller he caniot have nore than $100,000 In his hands at any one time.

The charges were: first, that thoy did, within three months before the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings against them, under a false color and pretense of carrying on business ard deal- ing in the onlinary course of trade, obtain credit from L. 8, Chapin, Phelan & Bolton, and Ellleon & 8toddard, goods and chattels (boots and shees) with intent to defraud those partfes; sccond, that, within three months before the announcement of the bankraptey proceedings they fraudulently obtatned goods and chattels in the onlinary conrse of trade, and had not pald for them, ~ There were elght counts, and a venlict of gnllty on six of them. It appearcd from the evidence that Feuerstein, Plluger, and one Scholleld entered into a partnership in the boot-and-stioe business in January, 1875.. Tlhey made ont a memorandum of purchaces to the amount of $18,000, aud Feucrsteln went on to New York, where ho ordered gowds on credit to the tuno of $100,000. - Returning home, he gava an secount of his dolngs, when Schofield asked why ho ordered such an amount, He then nn- folded an claborate scheme for awindling, but Behofield would have none of it, and withdrew from the firm, and telegraphed to New York to stop the sending.of tne goods. ~The others then went on with thie bualness with the goods that had becu _dispatched “be- fore ~ Schofield telegraphed, wuntfl they wera closed up by thelr ‘ereditors in November of the eame year, They started with something like £10,000 of liooda. but when they were put in bankruptey they had only a few hundred dollars worth of stock left. Thoy were then subjected to a sharp examination, the result of which was the criminal ’nro('ecdlmz . When the verdlet was rendered, Judge Blodgett ordered that they should be taken Into custody, they ‘having been out on bail. Charles Stubenrach was tried on 2 charge of passing counterfelt wonay, and acquitted. Auguatus Koch, who kopt o vinezar factory on the North 8ide.

One who las never attempted to obtaln dnta for such caleulation can have but little {dea of the work necessary to srvive at cven appruxt- mate results. Persons will cither refusc alto- gether to give you the required Information, or give you erroncous jdeas; this arlses from a de- sire to keep eccret the results of their work. 8ince I wrote you last, I have scen scveral estimates which T conslder crroncous; nor do they give the bosis of their calculation, they belug evidently * guess work.” 1 may or may not have had the best opportunities, yet I will give you the result of my observations, and then you can judge for yourself, We will ex- anine the subject In detell: of Cheyenne 1876... 0 Omaha, throngh Pleroso, viueenes Taken ont by partie 5 - Fort STy S S a0o,000 not through any of the BhOVE KOUECEB.ory oo vosirssess 23,000 Amonnt of dustas a cirenlating medium In the 1111w, but not coined, ear a5 can ba caloninted. 80,000 Ansount taken out as ka‘!w"l:iabl,!""l drisionss i ; 1,023 cecived, but not yot sent fhrough an; of the above. . uee 47,000 Grand total (not including Deaver, S AR TR Now, it we nllow $172,000 for the Denver Mint, which {s probably somewhere ncar the amount reclved there, we will havea total of $2,000,000 ns the yleld of the Hills for this year, from April 15 to Jan, 15. As near as I can ascertain the gold received in Chicago came through all tlicse sources, 2o that this amount cannot be taken Into consideration, as it would make an error in calenlation.

Itistho most convincing argument I can ad- vance,"” Ilooked at Mrs. Maynan! In surprize. Ihad observed that ber hair, which was Jusurinnt and dressed very becomingly, was purely col- orless; but, as she was a young woman, and also n very pretty one, I surmised that it was powdered to helghten the brillfancy of Ler fing dark eyes.
