THE SAFE ROBBERY AT THE TREASURY.—Sec- ond Auditor's Office, September 23, 1839. Elitor Star:—Permit me to makea slight correction in your report published yesterday, under the above caption. You say “before the package (containing bonds and money) left Mr. Rath- bone, the clerk from whose hands 1t went to Herring, the former took out several papers and put in a statement of his authority aud reasons for so doin;".” ‘The facts are as fuliows: The package in ques- tion, properly sealed und indorsed, was handed to Chief Clerk Herring by Mr. T. C. Balley, chiet of the paymaster’s division, to be locked up in the office safe for security. Herriag broke the seals and converted some of the bonds to his own use.

WHAT MK. ROUND SAYS. . MANAaSsaS, Va., Sept. 27, 1530. Edlitor Evening Star :—A triend has just shown mea letter in your fssue of Saturday stating that I had been invited to canvass for the re: pubilcan readjusters of the first district for Garfield and Arthur and for Judge Critcher for Congress, and that tt was expected I would take the stump. IJtis true I have been urged to canvass for every conceivable Interest and combination in the present mixed state of our politic ; but tt is not true that I have canvassed, uor is it_ probable that I will canvass, for an party or candidate. 1 have for seven years urged the establishment of the readjuster’s pany 1 helped to pene i and belleve that he future hopes of the state of my adoption are wrapped up in the success of its principles. It involves the honest treatment of our cred- Mtors, the education of half a million children and the extinction of Bourbonism fn the Oid Dominion. Thus believing, I shall vote for the readjusters In national, State aud congres- sional matters, although I do not consider their course a wise one in ali respects, But I do not feel myself at Mberty to attempt to Kill ci that party because they prefer Hareock to Garfield, I should as soon think of killing my best friend because I cannot always agree with him. I believed that the re- adjusters and republicans 1n the first district ought to have acted in concert, and I exerted myself in that direction, but a majority of both republicans and readjusters chose to act for themselves, and the result in November must determine their wisdom or thetr folly. In 1375 1 canvassed the first district as a republican-re- adjuster, carried seven counties out of sixteen ina inangular fight, and should have been elected had it not ‘peen for the officals of au administration that issued ‘Civil Service Order No.1.” In that eed 7 the ane ot past year I circulated 18, jocuments at my expense, exposing the frauds of the so-called “debt payers,” abd my opinions are so well known that donot see what more I can say that I have not said. So long as the “‘readjust- a. eep up their fight with the Bourbons, and Ow DO ot Cor sprees or fusion, or sur- Tender, I shall stand by them to the bitter end. But personal and private reasons will prevent me from making any public canvass, and all Feports to that effect are without foundation. Respectrully. * BO. C. ROUND.

It Is stated in the published dispateh from Louisville, Ky., this morning, that the ctreatt | Juége of the United Staces court at Knoxvile ‘gratted an injunction restraining the Post Office department from enforeing department orders.” The facts are these, as shown by offi- , Glal reperts from the attorney general's office transmitted -to the Post Office department, c>. day: ‘The application was made not in the bate cf the lottery companies, but in the nam> cf R.

The bill for injunction dtd not mention the business in which the plaintiff was engaged. ‘The judge without argument refused to grant a delay that the papers might be received from the depart- mment of Washington, as he stated his action would avoid any injury to the defendant or the government in either case Pending a turer earing on argument. He then informed toe plainuff that if he would amend his bill, and charge that the registered letters were about to grant an order Unat they should be held by the defendant In the post office to await the further order of the court, until the 6th day of October next, when the application would be heard by him at Louisville, Ky, This order of course decides nothing. “It simply prevents the registered letters” passing from under the control heard and a icrmer proceeding before another judge under another statute, and yet the judge afterwarJs decided that ie had no jurisdiction of the ques- ton and dissolved the order to hold the letters. ‘The question to be argued and decided on the Gth of October isthe same question which was decided in favor of the Post OMice department by the Supreme Court of the District of Co- Jumbia.

The Corcoran Gallery of Art has recetved and elevated to their niches, near the east and west angles of the front of the building, the statues of iichael Angelo, sculptor, painter and architect, 74-1564, ard of Albert Durer, engraver and painter, 1471-1528. Like those of Phidias, 501 B.C., and of Raphael, 1483-1520, they were executed by M. Ezekiel, an American sculptor residing at Xome, and are of the same material—Carcaca marble, of a light, grayish tot. The sturdy figure of Michael Angelo stands at his ease in his working dress, the lefc hand holding a mallet, and the right hand holding a Ee of calipers rests upon the belt of his short uunic, while his strongly-marked, rugged face 13 bent down tn deep thought, as though one of his mighty conceptions was shaping Itself in ‘MMs inspired brain. Mr. Ezekiel has well avoided the error of representing him as a vulgar, ubcouth figure, the broken nose of the great Florentine being shown, but not as a de- formity. ‘The statue of Durer is an imposing one. The majestic form 1s clad In a long, loose coat, with hatr collar,extending to his feet,and held across his breast by his right hand bearing a graving tool, while his left hand rests upon the head of & Small female terminal figure by his side. Toe head and face are noble in shape, and the linea. ments marked with serene benignity. The pee hair rolls down in luxuriant curls over e shoulders and breast, im) ing with the dress a grave judicial mten the figure. It adds to the interest of the statue to know that its Ukeness in feature and dressis no fancy work, but is modelled after an authentic por- ae of a Great artist taken pete.

Congressman Reagan, of Texas, candidate for re-election, is mentioned by some of the demo- cratic papers of the state as a suitable man for the U.S. Senate to succeed Gen. Maxey. Hon. Thos. Alien has been nominated for Con. gress by the democrats of the second Missouri district, Mr. 8. P. Bayley, republican candidate for Congress In the Alexandria (Va.) district, was one of Mosby’s lieutenants during the war. ‘There are three candidates for Congress in the 1ith district of Pennsylvania, the green- backers having nominated Joseph Adam Cake. Siath Auditor McGrew and ist Auditor Rey- nolds will go to Ohio to do campaiga speaking. The Wisconsin republicans hope to regalo two of the three seats in the congressional dele- gation of that state, which they have lost to the democrats since the granger agitation, A private letter received in this city to-day by a demccrat from Senator Voorhees Says Indiana will certainly go democratic next month; that the democrats are tull of contidence and work- ing hard; also,that the republicans have becom> ubeasy about Obio and are concentrating their forces in that state. Mr. Voorhees writes that there Is no doubt whatever about the election of the democratic ticket next month, The Atlanta Constitution has made an estt- mate of the result of the Somatng election for governor, based upon estimates of the way the Counties will vote, furnished by the sheriffs, According to this estimate Colquitt will get a. inajority of 44,000 over Norwood. Gen. Weaver, the greenback candidate for President, calls on his adherents to “strike off by the thousands” full extracts from Mr. Bay- ard’s New York speech, in which he reiteraraa his hard money views as representing the views of the democratic party. ‘The Irish-American republican state conven- tion of New York met at Saratoga yesterday, with 121 assembly districts ~ represented” Stephen Moffett, of Clinton presided.

Me especially charged that the purpese of the reconstruction acts, 4s well as their effect, was to overawe the people of the south in support of tbe carpet baggers, and for political aims alone. He dented that the repud- can party ts entitled to credit for the national prosperity which they offer as the reason why there should be no change of administration. This prosperity was not because of the principles and practice of that party, but in spite of them.
