Flans and Schemes to Hob the
National Trcasury-Tho Mis
cellaneous lUngs and
Their Intent.
The New York Bn-ald of this uioruing con
tains correspondence from Wu-hlngtoti of
yestCtday.ltS fo lows:
The schemes of plunder which have been
maturing here during the puf-t It tir years, and
which will, if possible, b3 forced through. Coti-
fress during the next three weeks, are abso
utelv frightful when viewed from a taxDsyet's
standpoint. Such mas of corrupt job? was
never tcoie secu or heard of.
l i e Treaurjring, under pretene of reducing
th? interest on our national debt, waut to con
tinue their corrupt practices ol the last tour
year on a larger scale. They waut authority
given the ilng brokers to puichase on Govern
ment account the $2,100,000,000 national bouds
now outstanding, and at the Fame time Hell a
like amount of a new issue. The detail ot this
flan are interesting. The Secretary of the
Treasrry is to make a secret bargain with one
or two rina broker to purchase a given amount
o the old bonds say $20,000,000. This will of
course In flute the mousy market that muco.
The ring brokers, having exclusive knowledge
of the extent ot inllntion, when It Is tocommeuoo
and when end, can take their measures accord
ingly, while the business community at large
mast stumble on In ignorance.
Alter the market has been proprly inflated,
and just before mouev is needed to move the
crops in irom the West, tbet Secretary of the
Treasury makes another secret bargain with his
favorite broker to sell Fay $:J5,ooo,ooo ot tne
new bonds. The ring, having exclusive know
ledge of the extent of the depletion Ion before
it takes place, can fix things to suit themselves,
and, when tight times come, can rctdize one
halt rer ceut. per day Interest on whatever they
may have to lend, either their own or Govern
ment money. This pleasant operation of "bull
ing'1 and "bearing" the market, with a capital
of 2,100,000,C08, is to be repeated at the plea
sure of the Treasury riug mauagers. Ttiesc
favored brokeis, under the McCulioch arrange
ment, manage to have a tew million dollars of
Government money constantly on deposit with
oHt intcTPHt. and a few millions on hand of
unadjusted balances, bo they will be well
prepared for the tight times they can biiug
about whenever they please.
This is a fair dchcripuou of the Treasury ring
operations during the past five or six years. It
is expected that thy will be able to do some
thing in that line during the next. Unless the
Conklin or Judd's bill passes, Mr. McCulioch
will leave a legacy with his successor that will
give General Grant's admiuitraUon trouble.
60 much for the Treasury nne. If its managers
can bave their own way they will realize
$60,000,000 during the next lour years aud
injure the business interests of the people by
udden fluctuations of value beyond calculation.
If Genera) Grant should make either Mr. A. T.
Stewart or John J. Cisco Secretary of the Trea
sury, there would not be the lea-t danger ot the
abuse of power that bus disgraced, utterly
disgraced, Secretary McCnlloch's administration
of aflairs. btilJ the people want assurance that
the Secretary of the Ireasurv eh ill not have
Sower to Inflate or depress the market secretly,
lo honest fcecre'ary wants it, and any one
about whom there is the least doubt, or a
thorouphlv corrupt one like Mr. McCallotih.
ihould never have it.
TUB BOND ENDOflSKMENr BIRO.
Since the independent press of the country
has routed the railroad subsidy jobbers, horse,
loot, and draeooos.thoy have consolidated their
forces and changed base. They now ask Con
gress to guarantee the iuterest on $120,800,000
bonds for lorty years, and take a flrst mortgage
cn the roads lor security, having a preoedeut
already establWhed by which they can lobby
through an -amendment substituting a second
for flrst mortgage. 6 these combined rings are
virtually a3kiug Concrefs for what will be in
the end, if they get it, a In e gift of

THE WHISKY BIG.
Under this head come both the whisky and
internal revenue ring. They are both oue and
thecaute. Through the kindness of Messrs.
Andrew Johnson, Hugh McCulioch, aud E. A.
Rollins, the affairs ol this ring havo been con
ducted in a manner most satisfactory to ring
managers. They have plundered the Govern
ment of full $100,000,000 per year for a Ion
iepast: but the expenses of the ring aro
lonstantly increasing: $125,000,000 is the low
est amount now required to support the orga
nization. The people have stood the burden
for four vears. and it is believed that they will
bear an additional load of $2 j, 000,000 aud not
Je) it.
THE MISCELLANEOUS ri'CNDI'R RINGS.
Ibis organization have in churge oar old
friend of 1820 a real 'otly-fUUt year; job
known as the net procecus Choctaw claim,
it ouly requires $l,b32,fti0. The enterprising
lobby-tobhera who have it In charge would not
take $1,692,561. That would be oue dollar
more toan their due, aud they are exact to a
cent. Most wonderful are the ways of lobby
jobber.
The Osage Iudian treaty, bv which the people
are to be plundered of $24 000,000 worth of
laud to enrich a horde of hungry Jobbers, also
comes under the head of miscellaneous jobs, as
do others almost too numerous to mention.
If one-twentieth part ol tb schemes of plan
o'er now before Congress manage get through,
the repudiation of out national debt is a fixed
fait.
BANK BUB a LABS.
Bld Attempt to llob I lie New York
Oriental llnuk.
" The New York Trilunt publishes this morn
JDK the following:
On Monday evening three men entered the
laloon of John Drake, uuder the Orleutal Na
tional Bank, at the corner of Grand street aud
the Dowery, and, after drinking, sat down and
tinoked for a short time. One of the men at
length said be wished to visit tho water-closet,
nd was directed thither by the barkeeper. In
a few moments be returned and said he had
dropped his teeth in the parage' way, and
rrquestea some roatcues 10 cuaoie win 10
tearoh for them. A number were given him.
and be returned, as he sa d, to prosecute the
frtwrcb. He was soon after ardo (olned by his
, companions, who said that th"y would aid him
j jn the search. A little time alter wards, the 6on
of the janitor of the bank heard some persous
movie in a passage way lea iiug from the rear
of the bank to a fluzht or stairs communicating
Willi VUO w"-"v-: mcuiiuucu KUUVC. lie
went to tee what the men wanted and on
demanding their business, the Intruders turned
nd fled. Tbey proved to be the men who had
left the saloon but a few moments previous.
Wore the alarm could be given they had made
iood tbeirescape. An examination of tuedoors
fflmmanicatlng with the stairway mentioned
hawed that the thieves had removed the lock.
I liuTit opto se doer, and when discovered
wrre engaged upon the other, and as it wis
ot light construction and insecurely fas.eued,
they would in a few moments have been within
the rear room of the bank. In this room at the
time were seated the president and cashier of
the bank, engaged in examining some account",
ho rngrofted In their work were they that they
bad not heard the noise made by tho thieves.
The vault and sale of the bank are very heavy
and of peculiar strength. It is estimated that
it would require twenty-four hours' incessant
labor on the part of expert baud Durelars to
eflcct an entrance into tho sa e through these
obstacles, and so far as knon, theso men hid
none of the heavy tools required for such work
as this. Certainly, nona are left behind. It is,
therefore, conjectured that the thieves Intended,
by a sudden entrance and show ot weapons, to
overawe the president and c ishler, and compel
them to open the safe, whence the contents
could be easily abstracted. The helpless
officers would then have been bjuud and
gasged, and the first intimation of the robbery
would have been the dUcovery of
the victims on tho lollowlng morning. Captain
Garland, of the Fourteenth precinct, yesterday
visited the brink, and ascertained the foregoing
particulars with relcreuce to the atTnr. He
afterwards vhitcd the various hanks ard jewelry
Mores In bis precinct, and enjoined upon tun
officers and proprietors the necessity of being
especially careful of their inonv aud wares. In
many of the banks the number of watchmen on
duty at idght have been doublet!, and the em
ployes during the day display redoubled vigi
lance. 'othlng whatever is known ot the men
who attempted this bold robbery. Mr. D.-ake
ays they were strangers to him, aud us he dul
not especially notice them, con only give a
general description of the men. Search is of
course being made, but with very pon pros
pects oi success. '
MYSTERY.
.
A SI run jf e Mory lu the Hrusncli Paper.
A Brubnels journal, tho L'cho tie 1'arlenwnt,
publishes a sta'ement of a very singular char
acter, and which I should hesitate to give, were
not the names of the paitles couccrne.t to a cer
tain extent a voucher lor its correctness.
It appeals that about eight or teu days ago,
at 7 in the morning, there was found, lying In
the mud on the high road of Schevcnlngen, the
body of a young man ot distinguished appear
ance. He was transported to the nearest police
ollice, aud a pbysiciau, Dr. Vinckhysen, was
immediately sent for. On examination he was
found not to be dead, but merely in a swoon.
On being restored to animation he was ques
tioned in Dutch, but he made 6igns that be did
not understand that language. He was thn
asked in French what wa his name and where
he resided. He gave his Interrogators to under
stand that he was unable to speak, aud made
signs for writing material-. They were accord
ingly furnished to him, and he then s'ated in
wiitiugthat he was the son of tho Count de
Moustier, residing at No. 3 Kne GrencHc Saint
Germain, Paris, and nephew of the late Minister
of the same name.
As he was unable to account for the manner
in which he had been conveyed to the spot
where he had been found, the tirst impression
created by his story was that it wis a pure
invention. The facts were at ouce communi
cated to the Marquis de Seven, Secretary to the
French Embassy, and he telegraphed to the
address in Paris indicated by the sutlcrer. A
few hours after a reply was received from Count
de Moustier stating that bis own son had really
disappeared ior several days, and that be was
about to start by railroad to investigate the
liiets in person. On a further examination the
mouth of the young man was found t? present
evidence of strong compression, aud his tousue
was discovered to be lacerated. This was suffi
cient evidence for the phybiciau that a gag had
been applied.
An effort was then made to revive the youth's
recollection ol the facts, and iu reply to tho
question as to how he could have been conveyed
without his knowledge to such u distance from
his home, he stated that on returning from
college, in Paris, at 9 o'clock, he was attacked
in the street aud received a heavy blow on tho
bead, alter which he fainted away and remem
bered notbiug until he was brought to his seust.9
by the persous by whom he was no w surrounded.
The traces of the Dlow described by him were
visible. His clothing was impregnated with
salt water and his lmeu quite still".
Further researches led to the discovery of the
fact that a small vessel had touched on too
coast uear Schevcnlngen on the very night ou
which the jounf! stranger had been found ou
the high road. He was taken to the hospital,
and on his arrival there some hours afterward,
the Count de Moustier, to his great consolation,
found he was his son. The Count declared that
he could not comprehend the motive of the
attack aud abduction, as his son was only
eighteen years of ago aud of irreproachable
conduct. There was no reason to suoposo tuat
robbery was the motive of his assailants, for all
the articles oi value which he had ou him when
he was attacked still remained upon his person
w hen he was uncovered at Suhcvenlngeul
ENOJJSE ELE0TI0NS.
Hunt Is Pnltl to Secure Votes.
In the late election in England, Mr. W. II.
Smith spent X90J0 to oust John Stuart Mill, and
Mr. Mill and his colleague together spent 2300
for election expenses. Mr. Ooope, who was
beaten In the Tower Hamlets, spent 8650. Mr.
Hamuda spent only 6000. and defeated Mr.
Beales, who spent 500. The election in
the Tower Hamlets was really a fight between
tteaics, Coope, and samuna. 'lucre was, bow
ever, a fourth candidate, Mr. Newton, who had
2880 votes, out whoso votes, given to Mr, ueaies,
would have elected him by an overwhelming
maiority. The London News, commeutincr ou
this election, fays: "No bribery or improper
expenditure is included iu these amounts. It is
simply a question of perfect organization, aud
the ellect of this perfect organization is to brin?
to the polllne booths a number ot persons utterly
without political opinions, but subservient to
pro!e6bloual agencies, w hile the effect of imper
fect organization is to loso even the votes ot
many thoroughly enlightened and willlag
voters."
In the borough of Hackney Mr. Bu'.ler speut
3200 in vain, while Mr. Holmes spent 600 and
succeeded.
It is very curious that the London News, after
sayieg there was no "improper expenditure,"
rclerring to the expenses of Mr. Cooper and Mr.
mlth, observes tha, "in fact, by couparing
Mr. Bmith's expenses with Mr. Coaper's, we
arrive at the conclusion that to ;et auy number
of Tory votes, either in the east or the west
of Londou, a candidate must be prepared to
pay for them at the rate ot exicily 23s. per
man. No oue can be surprised, however, thst
Mr. Mill failed to tight against such
amazing money odds; and. Indeed, to como
with an expenditure ol ouly 1000 within ono
thousand three hundred voles of a canlid.ite
who spent nearly 0000, was a feat which
ought to live long iu tlia mcnordbilia oi
electioneerleR."
The remedy proposed by tho Newt for all this
Is vo'e by ballot, tho prohibition ot the greater
port i f the expenses now incurred, an 1 throw
ing the busting aud polling cxpeuses ou the
rates.
FRANKING.

The Was'hiuirton correspondent of the Cincin

lo the abuse ot the franking privilege:
I was ihown an amusing illustration of the
effect of these efforts on the part ot these eco

a Congressman that puzzled her beyond exolaoa

OBITUABY.
JamcH T. IttHily, I'.siq.
The .V. Y. Ili-raid of this morning contains
the following:
On fcnturday evenrng lat Mr. James T.
Ihady, while on a visit lo Ins frieud, Mr.
Edward T. Young, of No. 14 West Sixteenth
street, was mddenly taken 111 by a stroke of
psraljhis of the led side, aud after linuering for
over two days expired at a quarter of an ho ir
before rive o'clocn jesterday Ljurnmc. The
parents of the distinguished dead were natives
of Ireland, who einmrafed to the United 8'ates
In 1812. and lor awhile took up their residence
in r-ewYotk, where Thouia" A. Brady, their
eldest ton, was born in 1813. He became a
Lieutenautin the United States Marine Corps,
and died at Tamplco during the Mexican war.
Subsequently Mr. and Mrs. llrady
removed to this city, in which the
subject c.f this (ketch was boru ou the 0th ot
April. 1815. He received a libetal education,
studied law, and In 183.V was admitted to tho
bar. His errat natural ability aud leeal attain
ments foou placed hiiu in the list of the most
eminent lawjeis of New York. As a pleader In
criminal oases he was dlstinrmshed tor the
happy manner in which he would combine the
most artful arguments without deviating once
from the truth. In the great "India rubber"
case, between Day aud Goodyear, Mr. Brady
was associated with Daniel Webster, and that
great statesman was profuse iu his praise of the
able manner in which his associate conducted
the proceedings. It would, of cousc, be Impos
sible to narrate all tbo important lawsuits
defended or prosecuted by the deceased. The
last cose of more than ordinary interest iu
which he was engaged was the receut trial of
General Cole at Albauy for the murder of Mr.
Hiscock, and which resulted, as will be
remembered, in the acqutlal of the accused.
While quite a voung man Mr. Brady attached
himself to the Democratic party, becoming in
time oue of its acknowledged leaders in this
State. The only ollice he ever held, however,
wusaloctl one that of Corporation Counsel
lor this city. lie was frequently solicited to
become the Democratic nominee for a judge
ship, but always declined, his practice being
too valuable and lucrative to be abandoned. At
onetime he was the candidate of the Democracy
for the office of Attorney General of this State
end was deleatcd. lu 1800 Mr. Brady supported
the claims of John C. Breckinridge lor the
Presidency, and became the candidate of
that brauch of the Democracy lor the
office ot Governor. Ho was, with the candidate
ol the Douglas Demo- r its, defeated by the Re
publican nominee. After the outbreak of the
Rebellion the rteceafed gave a hearty support to
the war measures of Mr. Lincoln's administra
tion, and eveu went so far as to joiu the Union
League organization, in defense of the non
partisan character ot which he wrote aud nub
lithed a loiter ot the time. As soou. however,
us he discovered that it was ourtisan he severed
his connection wrh it. Mr. Brady's political
career duriug tho past tew jenrs was unmarked
by any important event. He is said ta have
supported General Grant for the Presidency, but
ot this we are not positive.
As a public speaker the deceased was one of
the most eloquent ruen ot tbe time. He was
polished, fluent, witty, aud ever eutertaiuiui;.
Whether at the bar pleading for a client, on the
stump advocating his pohticnl ideas, or in the
social circlevenaaeed iu conversation or reply
ing to a toast, he was ever tbe tame, charming
his bearers by a ready and happy How of
language that but lev wen are possessed of.
Mr. Brudy was the Presideut of the Friendly
Rons of St Patrick, and also PrObident ot the
Dramatic Fund Association. And here we
would state that there was no more liberal
patron of American art, literature, and drama
thau bo. In htm the American artist, writer
and dramatist found a warm friend. Taken all
In all, boih as a public man and as a pmato
character, the death of Mr. Brady leaves a blank
In New York life that will be di flic alt to nil. As
a lawyer, but few members ol his profession cau
be found to fill tbe position he occupied wbo are
not already his peers. As a member of society
bis loss is irreparable. The .remains ot the emi
nent lawyer have been conveyed to his late
residt nee, No. 124 West Tweuty-third street.
To tnorrow (Thursday) morning, at half-past
ten o'clock, asolemn high mass for the repose of
hisFoul will be celebrated at the Roman Catho
lic Cathedral on Mulberry street, which all of
his friends are invited to attend.
TKE PEBEIRE.
The Disaster at Sea.
We have at last received the details of the
disaster to the steamer Pereire on her late
voyage from Havre towards New York. Font
letters published we learn that tbe Pereire had
eucouutcred heavy westerly gales aud head
seas, acalust which she had made good progress
ior live days, and as tar west as longitude forty
degrees aud thirty-five mluutes. There, at two
P. U. on the 21si ultimo, she was boarded by a

cabins aud stoke hole. The wave which effected
this destruction is described as ou'j of extraor
dinary magnitude, aud the great mass of it
appears to bave fallen with crushing weight
upon the forward body of the steamer. We cau
well understand that for a few minutes the
situation of the Pereire was very alarming.
The suddenness of tho shock, the crash of tbe
breaking decks and falling spars, the burst ot
vapor from toe stoke bol uml encriue room and
the uncertainty as to the actual amount of
damage which tho ship and engines bad sus
tained, must all have served to heighten aud
intensify the excitement aud alarm of the mo

Removal Of the Remnlnaof Itrn, Nnrrrttt
A ppanrance of the Uotljr Jlootti'e Ilu

tWom the rVasMnotorl Chronicle, Feb. 9.
The President issued an order yesterday
morning for the delivery of the remains ot Mrs
Burratt to lather Walter, of Bt. Patrick's
CburchCof tbls city, and yesterday afternoon at
3 o'clock that gentleman. In company with Mr.
Towne and Harvey A Many undertakers, pro

once disinterred.
Immediately after the cxecutioa Mrs. fl irratt s

placed lu boxes and Interred in graves near the
scaffold, her body bring m the north end of the
row and the others adjoining her remains in
the order named above, lo tne box with each
body there was aL-o placed the name of tho
iiarty, written on parchment, enclosed iu a
bottle. The bedy of Booth was also buried
hear there; that is, lnide the old Penitentiary
building, near the maiu door of the wardeu's
residence. The burial of Booth wa quietly
made In the presonre of Secretary htantou.

officers and C.1olcI Benton. comiU'tiidant of
the Arsenal; and after the r;ravc had been
filled and a portion ol the bricks retaid
over it, the windows ol the warero .m were
boarded up and ihe dour locked. The
body of Wwz, ihe Anderson vllle jailor, was
placed in the yard adjoining the body of At'.e
redt. For some time the bodies were allowed
to remain in tble. position. A wooden fence was
(need around toe graves, and a wooden head
board, with the name of the person buried
br low, placed ateach grave. In the fall of 1867,
when tbe demolition of tbe Penitentiary ouil 1
iner was de.ermleed on, it became ueccaiyto
remove the bodies, and they were buried In the
warehouse known as No. 1 (the second building
below the principal office), the bodies being
placed under the flicgiug. Mrs. Burratt's was
liuilnext to the north wall of the building, an 1
the i.thets adjoining, in the following order:
Payne, Hatold, Alzerodt, Wirz, and Bjoth.
There the bodies of all have remained until yes
terday. Tbe coffin, when lilted, was in tolerable con
dition, and when opened tbe remains were
found to be in an excellent state of preservation.
The lace, though black, was yet perlect lu fea
tures, and the whole body compact and firm.
The dieFS looked well, and tbe gaiter shoes
appealed to be not the least toiled. Upou the
day of her execution her daughter, Anne, who
visited her, took from her own bonuet a steel
arrow and stuck it upon her moher's dress close
up to the neck, and which remained where it
had been placed by the daughter. The
bottle, with the name of Mrs. Surratt
written upon a pleco of parchment within,
was also in the coffin, ana without shifting
anything, the coffin was placed in the under
taker's wagon and driven out Four and a half
street to Maryland avenue, along Maryland
avenue to the Capitol, parsing around to tbe
left of the Capitol 10 Now Jersey avenue, out
New Jersey avenue to H street, and thence to
Mount Olivet Cemetery. Father Walter, who
had preceded tbe remain", was there In
waiting to receive them, and ihey were taken
from the coffin in which they were and trans
ferred into a handsome waluut coffin, and then
placed iu the vault until to day
Anne Burratt, her brother Iaac, a friend cf
the family. Father Walter, aui Mr. Tovne, will
be present at tbe funeral, which takes place
to-day at half past two o'clock. It is intended
that tbe Interment shall be conducted with the
strictest privacy, and, with the exception of
the undertaker and those mentioned, none
others will be present.
The lollowtne is a oopy of tbe petition of the
daughter of Mrs. Surratt, for the removal ol
ber mother's rcmaias, to tbe Presidwut, and the
reply of tbe latter:
His Excellency the President of the United
States: The undersigned most earnes'ly and
respectfully addresses your Excellency on a
matter which has been for more than three
years to her a source of grout affliction, 8bo
seeks the privilege of removing tbe remains of

Biatrial Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
lUflRibBCiw, Feb, 10. Judge Sharswood yes
terday, at Chambers, decided to hear au argu
ment ou March 1, on a point raised by the
counsel in the case of Brooks and Orme, uuder
sentence of death for the murder of Thomas
tfrodbead, at the Delaware Water Gap. Tho
point Is that William Brodhead, being a citizen,
attempted an arrest, and that the crime is man
tlarjchter, and not murder in the first degree.
Governor Geary has never received any official
notification that the application for a writ ot
error would be made, aud if he reccivos no such
document, the esecation, which is ordered for
Feb. 26, will come off.

WILMINGTON.
The Keeent Bobbery of $13,000.
The WllmiDgton Commercia of yesterday
savs:
There have as yet been but few further devel
opments In regard to the recent heavy rob'iery
at the railway depot in this city. The amount
taken is probably nearer $17,000 than $15,000,
as we at first stated. The thief seems to have
gone systematically About his work, and to
have made ample previous preparation. lathe .
first place, he had a key made which exactly
fitted the lock. The sale is a Farrel A Herrini; ,
one, and the key was one of those little
comb like affairs which are used in these safes. -Tbat
used by the thief was precisely hire the
regu'ar key, except that it bore no number, and
was quite roughly finished, The thief must have
taken a cast of tbe proper key, as he otherwise
could not have got one made to fit.
The money was placed iu the safe on Satur
day in two tiu boxes, and these were carried .
off bodily. They were biokeh open and thrown
into a puddle at Ninth and Cburch streets, and
thesa'ekey was found catly Sunday morning
in Fourth street below l'me. It seems that the
thief must have gone down Fourth to Church, .
aha up Church to Ninth, aud thence possibly
down to the railroad.
The circumstances thu far seem to establish
lbe8 conclusions: - First, that tho robbery was '
planned some time nso by t omo oue raiulng ac '
res to the office, and that a key had ooe?i made
for the purpose. Secondly, that the person plan- .
ninir tlif robbery kuew whin the Postmaster re-
reived the money, and where he usually kept it.
Thirdly, tht the thief was familiar with the
depot, aud must bave been so to perpetrate a ;
robbery in so public a place, and in a room '
which is regularly v'sited b a watchman once
every hour through the night.
In rnsuy minds all these conldera'loos point '
directly to one iudividnal, whom we will not
name, however, unless the suspicions against .
him take a more detinlle lorm.
Whoever committed the robbery took the .
trouble to lock the safe so that there was no dis
covering of it until Monday morning, giving
him a first rate start.
