The reports of the experts who were engaged in searching for the cases in which fraud had been used it ap- pears were not incorporated in Mr. Cobb's re- port to Congress. These experts reported that sufficient evidence bad been discovered to warrant the belief that the payments of these bounties were full of frauds, and fitty-three cases were cited im detail in which the proofs of corruption were undeniable.

Only the profits of the bank are pledged to pay the bonds, and the bank has no profits. The banks are secure with or without this The law, it possible, strengtoens them.

The present bill reverses that action and protects the bill-holders as creditors of the State. THE EXPLOSION OF THE SOUTH- RIDGE (MASS.)

The betting was largely on Collyer when the boat left, as it was reported thai Edwards was quite ill, His backers, however, said Edwards would certainly enter the ring this morning.

Among the crowd on the steamer were about a hundred sporting men from New York, and some few trom Philadelphia. Barney Aaron was among the former. A large steamtug arrived at Baltimore with a large part, from Phsladelphia yesterday morning. aud Jeft in the evening for the scene of the combat. The ie Sam Collyer, whose proper name is Walter Jamison, is of Scotch parentage, but was born im France. He came to this country when quite a youth and settled in Brooklyn, where his mother and other relatives reside. He learned the trade of machinist, but in the early part of the war left his father and enlisted in one of the Brooklyn regiments, serving - lantly until the close of the war, having Ss his bravery won for himself a captain’s commis- sion. Shortly after the close of the war he en- tered the concert saloon business in Baltimore, and for some time conducted Uollyer’s Va- rieties, making his appearance nightly as a clog dancer and gymnast, creating quite a turore by bis expermess in the Indian club exercises. Sam is unmarried, albeit he is quite & bandsome looking fellow when fixed uy for ladies company. Strange to say, considering his associations, he neither siokes, drinks spiritous liquors, or swears. He is now &vout 20 years of age, is about 5 feet ¢ or 5 inches, and his usual weight is between 150 and 16).” He is of light complexion, dark brown hair aud he has quite # firm determined look For the past five weeks he has been in training under Jobnpy Newell at Canton, near Baiu- more, taking 88 much exercise as it is necessary to put him im proper condition. Naturally very regular in bis habits, it has not been dii- ficult to get him in proper tim. He has been taking a Walk of sixteen miles before break- fast, and the balance of the day he has exer- cised with the dumb-bells, sparring with Mr. Newell, rowing @ boat recently presented to bim, &c., retring early and sleeping soundly. His first fight was with Mike Carr, alias Eng- lisb, at Rock Creek. near Baltimore, on the of March, 1566, in which he came off the best in feurteen rounds; his second with Horatio Bol- + mear the White House,on the Potomac, in May following, whipping him in a short encounter; bis third with Barney Aaron, near Pobick Church, in September, 1~G, coming off ‘Dest in one of the severest contests ever fought country—iorty-seven rounds in two -y, 67, whip- ping him: his fitth with Aaron, on ‘the ith of June, ’07, near Aquia Creek, the latter being tor aiter a hight of nearly two hours; his with Billy Kelly, in Delaware, whipping bim m 111 rounds. Billy Edwards is an Engliehman by birth, and 1s about 24 or 25 years of age. He weighs about 147 pounds naturally, and is more square- ly built than his adversary; has fair complex. ion, light brown hair, regular features, and is quite as handsome as Collyer. this country since he arrived at the age of 2i, and has worked steadily at his trade ef iron moulder in New York. This is his maiden effort in the ring, but he has within the past few years had on the buskins with some of the best mep in this country, and has shown that there are but few better men ne as as@ boxer. As in the case of Collyer, he seems rather out of place in prize ring associa- tions, for he does not chew or smoke tobacco, drink liquor, or swear, and it is also stated that he is very particular as to what company he beg? shunning that which he knows w be bad. ‘He hus been under the hands of Dooney Harris as trainer, first commencing his course at New York, but the training proper, exercis. ing with the dumb-bells, Lows t walking, running, &c., was near Trenton, N.

The matter was brought before the Supreme Court of New York, and the Judge issued attachments against the members of the Council. The New York Evening Express of Saturday says About ten o'clock this morning word: was Te. ceived at the Sheriff's office that the Council- manic Board, whom the Sherif has vainly sought during the past three days, was in sess- ton. Deputies Darling and McGowan were dis- patched to the Céuncil Chamber, where they made known to the assembled Councilmen that they were under arrest, The Beard adjourned Proceeded with the officers to the Supreme Court Chambers, but found that the Court had adjournea. They then went to the Sheriff's office, accompanied by counsel, Nelson J, Wa- terbury, E=q.,and were there met by Mr. cker, Deauty Sheriff, with the order of arrest. who in the name of the Sheriff paroled ihe Council until Tuesday morning at ten o’clock, at which time they will appear before Judge Barnard, atthe Su; ye Court Chambers, And there answer for contempt of cou ‘The members of the Boatd under arrest to- nt ere Mesere.

Murphy DEXTER TROTS A MiLB IN 2:14.— Dexter has Tecently beaten his Buffalo time, and has fairl: structed to train and work him down to & racing condition. A few days ago Dexter was taqen on the track for his exercise, and several gentlemen who were presentexpressed a desire to see the horse put to his Dexter was sent to the stable, rubbed down and scraped, and after an absence of twenty-five minutes ‘was brought back, with Budd Doble as driver. Arunning horse with a rider was also pro- vided and placed at the three-quarter mile pole to make the round with the famous trotter. Mr. Turnbull, the well-known turfman, and Mr. Conway, of Philadelphia, touk the judges’ stand and kept the ume. Dexter was trotted slowly around the first time, ard as be began the second heat was ‘worked up, until at the quarter pole he seemed to be going at a locomotive pace. With the running horse at his side to incite him, Dexter trotted at such a rapid and steady pace as to surprise all. The first quarter mile was made int -three and a half seconds, the next in thirty-three seconds, the third in thirty-four seconds, and the mile in the un led time of two minutes and fourteen seconds. Yesterday, on the same track, Dexter trotted a quarter mile in thirty seconds, or at the rate of a mile in two minutes. The trainer says that after Dexter has been got in thorough condition he will make still better time. ‘hether he does or not, his past achievements have fairly earned for him the name of “King of the Tart.”"—N. ¥.
