They would also show by the books of Ross, Gunter & Co., that Hawkins, before re- ceiving his drait, had “traded on his second bounty to the amount of $55, and he had paid this amount. He next claimed that the draft having been paid by the Treasury, closed the transaction. He then explained that Judge Wright was allowed a fee of $15, which amouut \eing deducted from the amount of claim —£100—left $45 to be receipted for.

Seiders, a clerk in the ‘Treasury department, was taken to the central guardbouse in an intoxicated condition by Of - | cer Powell, and at9:10 o’clock was found dead in bis cell. Dr. McBlair was sammoned, who, examining the body, pronounced death to hare been caused by apoplexy, superinduced by in- toxication. From papers found on his body i* | Was ascertained that his mame was David W. Seiders, a clerk in the cotton claims burean, | Treasury department. He is about tifty-tive ears of age, and bas a wife, from whom he has n separated for sometime past. Coroner Patterson made a visit to the central guardhouse this morning, and atter viewing the | Temains, and inquirirg as to the babits of the deceased, decided that an inquest was unneces- sary, as death was caused by apoplexy superin- duced by intemperance. A certificate of burial was given in accordance with the circumstances narrated, and the body was turned over to Mr. Anthony Buciily, by direction of the friends of the deceased, to’ prepare for burial ders was &@ man of rare attainments, a law; by serge Pad bey tive of Maine, where he lost everything he possessed some years ago by fire, ees week time he has been addicted to drink.

He will be well supported by a strong company, and the scenic effects of the play will, as usual, be fully equal to those which attended the presentation of the piece in New Yerk. The comedy of “Pygmalion and Galatea,” one of the most novel and pleasing of modern lays, illustrating a classic fable, has never heen performed in this city. Miss Carlotta Le- élerey, who has won great applause for the de- lightrul impersonation of the heroine will ap- pear in it at Ford's Opera House to-night, and @ brilliant audience may be expected. The cast of the play is all that could be desired. The Mochello brothers in the Indian box and asket tri a most wonderful illusion—is the principal attraction at the Theater Cumique to- night, but by no means the only one, asa glance at the advertisement will show. The Davenport brothers appear in their un- | accountable manifestations at Willard Hall to- | night, and will no doubt attract, as on previous occasions, large numbers of people who think they can find out just how it is all done. o——— PDs tional Theater this ev ning | Tax Eventastine Fovstaix Ixkstanp.— Messrs.

Coroner Patterson was notitied, and after viewing the body deemed an inquest’ un- necessary, a» it was a lear case of sel{-destruc- tion.
