The allegation ) * are that Comity Collector Greene ban bi un increasing thu vnlu\ tion from $1,000 , to 810,000 , and when taxea were paid pocketing iho differ ctico. Thu increased v.'duaMon in Kansna City alone id about $1,000,000. It is impossible to determine without investigation how much money has boon fraudulently made. Thn gravest implications exist in the otli.'O of the collector of taxes for this county , and the excitement over the condition of aiTiirs has not in the cast abtted. Collector Greene now admits that there have been many or- rbr made , and probibly frauds com- mit'ed by his clerkr. Although the cnamination of tax receipts has only been commenced by the people , scores of inst mces have already boon found where assessments have been railed and oxccsaivo amounts col lected. The collector has abked the county court , to make in investiga tion , but Judge White , of the circuit c urt , has doomed the matter of sufficient importance to order a special grand jury to meet to-morrow to make a 'thorough investigation of the silTair * of the collector's oflicu. U ii biirmifod that systematic c rooked- lias been going on m this office for many yuare , not only in the col lection of licenses from merchants and hunincsH men irentrnliy , but there are the bist reasons for believng that tlie treasury has been defrauded out of several thousand dollars. The county atpcsanr is also thought to be implicated , and a large petition has boin sent to the county court de manding his removal. ST. Louis Jauutry 30. Mrs. Gon. Geo. P.

Mr. covillo appeared in court this morn- ng and asked that a comtntathn bo .ppointcd to examine the names ol he jurors alleged to bo on the nowa- ajior proRonted by him as ono of the reasons for n now trial. Ho stated ho had uot the least doubt of thu genuineness of the signature and asked that exports bo appointed to compare the signatures presented. The court said it would sit on Friday for hotting the motion for a new trial , at which'-tiruo ho would have the ju rors in coirt , whoh they 'could be lioard und6r oath on to the aigiiaturoa upon tha newspaper. Scovillo as senting , Friday -wan agreed upon. Guitoau puMcd iho night reatleMiy. Ho woke up with n very noru throat , and it hu. 'rowbled him nil X'ny ' Otherwise his houlUi ia good. A prominent roMiiiuuii knoucrl > < re- ntatoR that Hayden , vrho rlaiuir n have discovered that tliu GUiteMi yny road papers , has recently boasted of u eqhonie by which ho wan going to se cure Guiteau'n new trial and his story is now totally discredited. Sitivillo says that ho will make the most of it. He says that hereafter no letters ad dressed to Guitenu will be opened. His time is too much occupied to at tend to Itttora sent to the prisonoiv The counsel gives the following fur publication to thu American people : "I have faithfully defended Guitenu on the plea of insanity to the best of my ability. Tl o opinion entertained by me at first that he was the victim of a controlling delusion Ima grown to thorough conviction from the evidence adduced on the trial and f mm my own intercourse with the prisoner. I know that such is also the conviction of many candid , intelligent people , em bracing judges of courts , members of congress , lawyers , physicians , and all classed of society. The question now arises , What shall bo done. ? The defense has been niado by mo for thrco reasons : First , from loyalty to my wife , his sinter ; second , because I felt the defense to bo jut and there fore required by humanity ; third , to save the nation from the lusting dm- grace of hanging an insane man to gratify popular revenge , and at the same time of placing on the records of history , through a judicial proceeding , the solemn judgment that it was pos sible for an American citizen of sound mind to murder the president of the United States. Had I the means to carry the defense further , either of those means would bo amply sufficient to induce mo to persevere unto the end , but the first and second buing of personal nature muat yield to stern necessity. 1 he last is ono of HUCU general intenst that I have coino to the conclusion to submit it to my fel low citi/.oitB , and their rnplv will de cide my conduct. Motion for a new trial has been filed and will IMJ argued this week before Judge Cox , with a possibility of its being granted. If overuled , judgment and Hont'jnuo will be passed upon the prisoner to ho executed in the latter pr.rtof .luno. Several weeku will bo allowed in that event to rnako up a bill of cxcuptionn and present the C.IBO on appeal to the L'cnonil term of couit. In my opinion there are ample groumlH ft r aruvoiH.il of judgment on appeal. The qucr.- tion of public intercut presented is whether such appeal shall carneHtly and ably presented. That cannot be done without money. Other couiuul nhould be engaged and paid. Mr. Hued has ably ( insisted me Boldly through a laudable motive of humani ty to save an inn.uio man from thu gallows , but ia not ublo any more than I to give further time without compensation. I hnvo given four month'a time at a nicrifice in mybit.Hi- HUBS or at least 5,000 and at nil.ex pense of 8300 , and have incurred debts exceeding $300 for the ( lu'pport of my family , in addition to what has been paid out for that purpose. Aa an plfset there has boon received from friends in all about $250. My aged mother lies sick , probably in her last illness , and requires at least some portion of my time and resources , In these cir cumstances I do not feel called upon as a matter of public intercut alone to give an additional two montlw' time to a motion for a now trial before thu court in bane. My fellow citizimti , few or any think that the interests of justice , the cause of humanity ot the honor of the country require that this contest be prolonged , and that no effort bo spared to secure a verdict and judgment after passion ahull have subsided. Lot them manifest it by providing means and competent counsel will be secured at once. I ask for nothing for myself up to this time , but for roasonu stated I cannot give my own services hereafter without comnoiifiation.

The pavement waa compreBSfcd asphalt , n small specimen of which WHO nonf. The company clninm it ran lay the pavement in Oinwha at 81.50 per yard and guaran tee it for five yiuirti.

Mr. Morao also moved thu recon- imlurati < n of eoction 11 and oflercd the following amundiiiont to tliu Hamo ; On petition ot the uitizoiui to the city conncjl auking the paving or ro- paving of any Ntroot or part of street , ot not IcHfl than two ( li ) blnckn ex tent , oxcupting it bu to adjoin paving already laid or ordered laid at the time of petition , the aid council shall give ton dfiya' nolico through ihu olli- cial nt'WHpapt * of thu city , notifying all porHoim owning property in said district of the filing of the petition. The notice shall also fltato the mate rial which the council dccidoa to u.io for piving said streets , and unlosu within ten daja after first publication of eaid notice , prottiotn are filed , signed by at least three-fourths of the owners of all the front font in wiid district , then thu council ahull have it in their power to have said street paved. If the material decided upon by the council for paving shall bo ob jectionable , then a similar protest shall in like manner bo filed , tigncd by three-quarters of the property owners in tlio district , us stated before. Said protest" shall also state thu pavement desired , and which shall bo adopted by the council , if requested by throo-fourtba of thu owtiora of front feet. Mr. Barker opposed the reconsider ation of thia Hcction , which is the one providing for thu creation of n board of public works , eta. Mr , Boyd wild that ho would vote for anything that would imuro the paving of the city und prevent the du- | ual if that object by an irnspoimihlu majority. Ho Uyorcil making thu city pay for tlio intL-rsection of tlio iitroutH and the UIMOJ oppo itu Ihu lit- II.JM and the propl-ity tnvnurawy \ for till tlio i"nt. lie uluo favored tliu is- MM of 200,000 in bonds , running ton yean iu d. : ton per cent , . 1 * coming payable each year. Mr. Boyd then proceeded tu giro some figures on the suhji-ct to show how the paving could neciitvd , which were as follow * : GF.NTLKMP.N : The more I think of hu pivinu question the more I nru cuuvinood that the property abutting * n the street paved nnould pay the ex- , pennon , and that the city should pay , for paving thu Intersection of the slr.'ota and the space opposite the alloys. UnluAS some plan of this kind is adopted thu people ntll not vote bonds , because , KB has boon often stated , the people living in the north ern , southern and western portions ol thu city will not vote to issue bonds unless thu law is such that p > irt ot the money can be spent in paving in iho outlying portions of the city. IWi- mntitig the cost of paving at $3 \ > l yard and the roadway of our ntnmut CO fcot wide , it would cost $105 COO o pnvo one milo of street. The city engineer informs us that there are ono hundred miles of street in tha cityK sixty-six miles of which are in con stant use. If bonds are tu bo issued by the city for pav ing purposes , the people living m any milo of the mxty-clx iniko would want their proportion of the money spent in paving in that par ticular locality , and , a I say , unlou the law wan so framed that thuso people - plo know thu money wouH bo spent in the \icinlty of their property , they would vote against and defeat tha Mind * . The only way , then , seems to bo to mike thu abutting property pay for the work and mko the city pay 'or its proportion by bondo , and whop the people know that the city at larsjo must pay for what by right it nl ould ] pay for , the. bonds will bo voted. Let the law \M \ so amnndud that the city have power to is no $100 000 , duo in twenty years , each ymr , if neoesnary , nnd in addition issue $200,000 each year to bo paid for by the property where the pavinc in done , at the rata of ten ner cent of thn cost oaqh year. Make tliu laut S200.000-duoand pay able $20,000 per year. Tn thia man ner the direct * in the businesa portion of the city , and principal stroeto loitd- ing north and south can bo easily paved. Every dollar rpont in public im provements is just so much taken from the ) 'iiMnrn capital of thooity. Suppose $300,000 wan npont annually in paviup , and the city ixmio the bonds this amount would pave about three -niles of ti'reots nnd it could bo done at a c ut to tlio property abutting on tlio tht < o miirs , not to exceed an avow go of fA , per year for ten yc r , ljuj iiaount wtmld ny for , the work , i tyiluiorcst'oti th imkbt , gpt y A HfJHa iH 'i eaSfc Who will kuy tmt ! _ almost any , tUreo , miles of pryjiurty in the center ot thoj * city cannot iiir6rd't6'pay ' $27,000 por" your. Three miles is15,840 feet , double that would be thoi fiontngu on thu three miles , ' 31,080 feet , deduct for thu city'a rharti n > .y ono third and it would leave 21,720 lineal foot , to pay , $27,000 , or $1.24 per foot front frontage per year for ton yeais. Mr. Biyd | moved aa an amendment that the adoption of Suctions 2 and 3 bo reconsidered. Carried. Mr. Morse then moved his amend ment in regard to the petition for paving to the city council. Mr. E. Koauwater aoid ' there neomod to bo two or three proposi tion ) ) in this amendment. Ono was that it required three-fourths of tha property owners to remonstrate against paving u atieet ; another that it required the same proportion to protest aiminut the material used , and the thiid that they must doaignato the material to bo used. Ho pro ceeded to diHciiBS thu advantage or disadvantage of the proposed amend ment and wild it virtually left the whole thing to the council. Mr. Boyd expressed hit * intention of voting uganiBt Mr. Morse's motion and in favor of. leaving the whole ) thing to thu city council. Messrs. Barker , Lininger nnd othur/i / npokuon the piopoBod amend ment. Mr , ItoKoualnr moved as a nub&ti- tuto to Mr. MOMO'H iiniciidnu'nt to ntnl.o out nil thai portion of section 2 , after thu words giving the cguncil power to pave the utreotii. Mr Hidn-nn moved ns an amend ment that thu wordn "Bo.nd of Pub lic Worl ; " buH'iickili ' out. Mr. Uoiuw ator'u motion waa car ried , Mr. Boyd moved that the words < > " tO nor cunt" be stricken out and that his proposition thai the city pave thu intersection ot Iho streets and the Hpiicu opposite thu alleys and loan its credit to thu property owners aa pro posed , be substituted. An uitinritt d discussion of Mr. Boyd's proposition followed in which nothing ot paiticulur interest woe elicited City Engineer Rosewater made a lengthy speech , in which ho o aimed that the city tthpuUl not undertuko to make any public improvement in a hurry , and gave Eume very convincing reuHonii , accompanied by statpmmita of coot in support of his proposition. A standing vote was taken on tbo amendment of Mr. Boyd , and it was curried with only one negative. It waa BU gcated that a ooinmittoo of Boven be appqinted tq confer with rrembers of hplegislature from thin county , uud'frumo un amendment to the charter. Suctions 2 and 3 were adopted ns amended.
