The Official Organ Co men Out In Defense or"

trreMtlnff Fact Tor Consideration.
The Christian Advocate, tho official organ Of the
Book Concern, has In tlie current number an arclcle
on the recent charges of mismanagement, from
which we extract the following, which are tuo Im
portant passages:
Of the Tiviri article the Advocate says:
"We do not, however, hesitate to denounce it as
nn unjust and libellous production, though lacking
the manliness to declare openly what It utters only
In part, while It lnHlnuutes much more. Dr. Lanahan
is named as the new Hook Agent, implying a change
in the headship of the business, of course by the re
moval of the late chief agent, Dr. Carlton. Ho the
matter was understood by outsiders, and aliutlrtlo
paper so declared in a gross assault on Dr. Carlton's
personal character. A defalcation among the man
agers of the concern is declared to have been de
tected, and these two gentlemen were the only man
agers, and one of them had detected the 'frauds,' It
was clear tha, the other one had been found a de
faulter to the amount of 'hundreds of thousands of
dollars.- The New York World, without stopping to
higgle over fractions, writes down the losses at a
round million.
"The purpurt of the Time' article, whether tho ln
spitatlou was the writer's own or borrowed from bin
Informant, was to make a division between the two
book agents, and the case Is so put that the infe
rence that Dr. Carlton Is tho delinquent party Is
direct and inmost necessary. No detiills are given
to Indicate the nature of tho pretended 'frauds,' but
in dark intimations the case Is presented to the Ima
gination of the readers as one of giant proportions
and peculiar atrocity.
. . "Great injustice has been done to Dr.
Lanahan, who knows too well the nature of his posi
tion, and Is governed by too high a sense of honor, to
willingly ullow himself to be put In opposition to Ills
associate and otllclal superior.
"Whatever he hus done In this business has been
done under the headship of lir. Carlton, and there
fore, in an Important seime, by him. It is due to
both of these gentlemen to say that they are earn
estly working together for the best interests of their
common trust. n the distribution of the duties of
the house, certain departments of the business are
assigned to the assistant agent, and in these certain
irregularities have been detected, uncertain and ex
aggerated rumors of which have formed the basis of
tho rimes' Tainf 51 Kevelation.'
"So far as we have learned, there has been no
defalcation at all, in the usual sense of that word.
We hear of no charge that any disbursing agent in
the establishment lias misappropriated funds left in
his hands; nor has the concern lost any portion of
the property that has gone to make up the annual
exhibits of its assets. The institution has been, and
is, just as rich as its annual exhibits show. But, in
the examination of the manufacturing department,
It appeared to the agent having direct cbargj that
the purchases had not been made with proper care
and economy ; that instead of buying of lirst hands,
the head or the printing department had made Ills
purchases through a commission merchant, and that
In consequence the prices of stock were often higher
than would have been gitrcn had the purchases been
made directly of the manufacturers. We do not hear
it charged that he ever received any commissions
for purchases made, or that at any time he has ac
cepted any pecuniary considerations from any party
beyond his regular salary. We are not In a condition
to deny that he has ever done so; but till the proof is
forthcoming, it Is but just to withhold any unfavor
able opinion respecting a trusted agent agalMst
whom there has heretofore been no complaint, and,
as far as 70 are aware, no suspicion of dishonesty.
"Reacting the bindery department the intima
tions, fiiay be darker, but are more indeilnlte. We
aro not aware how much evidence of fraud, If anv,
lias been obtained, nor definitely of tho nature of tlie
transactions concerning which complaints are made.
It would, therefore, be Improper for us to express
any opinion upon the case. The late head of that
department is not a Methodist, and we knew him
only as a superior workman. That in his purchases,
or other dealings, he may have defrauded the house
is possible; it Is, at any rate, proper Unit thn thinn
finni1'1 5", 1t"uk,lIity ! aurl Truing such examlna
n?.?,!;allmtl11, -ttU a.:ts are made known, It is a
BiinnM h r wisdom and fairness that judgment
"ul ) suspended. We are free to confess that
ire not without our suspicious that the business
of the Concern has not always been sufficiently care
fully superintended; but to estimate Its losses by
'many hundreds of thousands' is simply prepos
terous. "A former book agent's name, whose published
opinions on a pending Church question are not
altogether acceptable to certain parties, has been
drawn into tlie afluir, with an evident purpose to
injure him. All such things ate lamentable, and
should be frowned upon. The question of lay dele
cation Is not involved either directly or indirectly In
all these book fooin diilloulttes, and it is as uuwise
as It is unjust for either party to drag it into his con
sideration. The whole ail'alr is still in a state of in
complete development; the proper persons have been
carefully ami conscientiously looKiug mio h, una an
things were tending to tne correction of any exist
ing abuses or mismanagements, when the unfortu
nate and highly reprehensible article in the New
York 2Vir necessarily put a stop to it for a time.
We think we are safe in assuring the Church that the
ailairs ol tlie Book Concern were never in a sounder
condition than at this time, ami that, If abuses shall
at any time be detected, the agents are fully com
petent to correct them, ami to protect all the In
terests of the establishment."

Wrote to iioutwell The Proplieo 1'iilliiled.
The following letter, ulmost as much a prophecy as
that of Alexander II. Stephens ere the war began,
was addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury on
the approaching crisis in New York:
Now York, Sept. 20, Hon. George S. Boutwell,
Secretary of the Treasury DouHir: Permit me respect
fully to request your attention to 11 low facts and conside
rations connected with the prosont position of the Gold
market so far as it mn be connected Willi the operations
of the Treasury. The amount of gold in tlie city hanks 11s

It iu gonerallv understood, and I think there is no doubt
as to the belief being well founded, that neurly tho entire
supply of gold in I ho market has been bought up by a
few wealthy speculators with a view to making a high pre
mium out ot the ultimate seurcily thus foreshadowed.
The uiurket is thus entirely miliar speculative control.
The boldois liavo it in their power to charge borrowers any
rate their caprice may fix upon fur the ubb of gold, or to
demand from mercantile or other buyers any price they
chouse, and it is not supposed that they will failto turu
this advantage to account. As the ("inrce of the market is
necessiirilv deponilent upon the supply coming from the
Treasury, the Treasury has the control ot
tho premium very much in its hsnds. It is
usual for the market supply to lie low in the months ot
October and Hcptemlier, and as tho merchant are always
free buyers in those months for custom duties and foreign
remittances, it is very common for speculators to combine
and exuet from them the highest possible price. It has,
however, been the custom l the (iovernment to let out
by sides 1111 extra supply of c.iin at thut period, ami hence,
although one year ago the trupply nf coin in the market
was about the same as at tho present, yet the free sales of
the Treasury prevented its decliniug before November 1

SELF-ACCUSED.
An Innocent Ilnn Sent to PrNnn for Theft 011
Ilin Own 4'oiii'eKNlon.
A correspondent of the Detroit 7M writes from
Kalama.oo, Michigan:
"A few years ago a man residing in Vermont, by
the name of Ilotirne, was convicted of murder on his
own confession. lie was sentenced to death, but the
execution was prevented by the arrival at the scene
of execution of the man whom it was supposed lie
had murdered.
"A case of Imprisonment once occurred In this
State in which the circumstances of the conviction
were somewhat similar to those, of the case above
referred to, and the writer believes were never before
published. The victim was a poor and ignorant
man, who may be called Fennel, somewhat addicted
to intemperate habits, who resided In one of the
western counties. He had a wife and Beveral chil
dren dependent upon him for support, and had pur
chased, and nearly paid for, a few acres of land, on
which lie had erected a small house.
"A man of wealth in the nelghboihood had lost
two fat bogs that were running at large in tho
woods. A place was found some two miles dis
tant where two hogs had been killed and dressed,
and the conclusion was that they were the missing
animals. Pennel being a poor and rather, worth
less fellow, suspicion rested on him as the criminal,
lie was arrested, but as there was no proof to con
vict him, it wns deemed an Important step to get
him to confess it. reuncl at first strenuously
denied the accusation, asserting that he had no
hand in killing the hugs, and knew nothing
about it. A strong pressure was brought
to bear on him, however, it being understood that
the reward wool 1 be paid If lie could be induced to
plead guilty. He was told that he would certainly
lie convicted and sent to the State Prison for at leiist
live years, but that If he should plead guilty he would
get oil' with two or three months' imprisonment in
the county Jail. The condition of his family was
alluded to, and for their sake lie was urged to plead
guilty, and get oil' with the promised light sentence.
"Ho linally consented to accept the advice so
strongly urged upon liim, and when the day of trial
came entered a plea of gulity.
"The result, however, was quite diirerent from
wbut he had been led to expect; for, Instead of get
ting two or three months In tho county (ail, lie was
sentenced to tl ve years' hard labor In the State prison.
Thus the evil he sought to avoid by that confession
came upon him and his poor family. Ho lost what
he had paid on his place, with the improvements ho
had made upon it, and his wife, broken down with
grief, want, and sickness, was thrown upon the
county as a public charge.
"The sequel was that arter Pennel had spent two
and a hulf years in prison, the truth in regard to tlie
missing hogs came to light, it being simply that an
other man who had two hogs running in the same
woods, had by mistake for his own killed those which
Pennel had been accused of stealing.''

'The greatest man in Massachusetts, excepting, per

after Caleb t-ushing came into the room, and Mr.
Stevens put a similar inquiry to him. Mr. Cushing
replied, 'Charles Stunner Is a man of the greatest

Adams, who combines tho grasp and energy of his
grandfather with the learning and experience of his

A correspondent In Kussia writes:
only a lew weeks ago a peasant, shabbily clothed
and illiterate, came into the Treasury at Poltava,
and asked if they could change some old paper
money for the new Issue. He was asked how much
he bail, ami he said he did not know : that he and his
wife had counted all one day and all the day after,
and hail not finished. Au oillcer was sent to assist,
aud tho peasant took up a board from the tloor and
showed bundles ol notes packed away lu various
things, which on being counted amounted to about
eighty-six thousund rubles. There wore Some live

where he had got so much, and lie said that his
grandfather had saved up, that his fat Iter had saved
up, and that he himself had saved up. Suspicions
were of course entertained that he had come by hie
money dlBhonestly; but the whole family had borne
a good character, and on inquiry there was no reason
for detaining him, and his money was changed for
him Into new notes. Gentlemen at Poltava told me
that such cases of hoarded-up money were very
common, and that there were often peasants who
were very rich.

The Sultan, as Is well known, is passionately fond
of music, whence the inference Is naturally drawn
that he would be likely to display a certain degree
of courtesy, alliibility, and evefl cordiality In his
treatment of the eminent performers whom' ho fre
quently Invites to his palace. But such is by no
means the case. The celebrated violinist Wienlaws
ki, who last had the honor of being summoned to
perform for his Highness' delectation, states that Im
mediately arter reaching llohna-Balche, he entered
the palace, ami going through Innumerable suits of
apartments, which contained scarcely any furniture,
but which were filled witu'eunuehs, guards and par
asites, he at last came to a small drawing-room, In
which there was nothing but a piano and
a piano stool, and lu which the teniperuturo
was so cold that his II Hirers were almost
.benumbed. The chairless room, used only
lor iiiusic, is between other apartments, in 0110 of
which were a number of servants and guards on
duty, while in the other was the Sultan, who sat In a
corner, concealing his sacred person behind a screen
from the profane gaze of the artist. In the doorway
of this latter apartment stood the Grand chamber

to play, accompanied ou the piano by the leader of
the court music, but he had no sooner linishedone

the Chamberlain ordered hiiu to continue, ami iu
this manner he plaved twenty-two tunes, one after
another, without stopping. In the middle of the two
last, completely exhausted, he laid down his Instru

plunge people is reported from Palis. Last Wednes
day night a gentleman residing in the Faubourg Pois
soniere committed suicide by stabbing himself with
a dagger. His wife, hearing him fall, jumped out of
bed, and on discovering what had happened called
aloud for help. A servant appeared, but when he
saw the dagger planted in the bodv he refused to
remove it or try to staunch the blsod ; he fled terror
stricken and aroused tlie concierge. The latter took
fright too, and declared that the bodv must not bo
touched UDtil the arrival of tho police, otherwise
they would all be accused of murder together. The
unfortunate wife meanwhile hal fainted. After a

that the episode becomes tragically grotesque. The
two functionaries, without stopping to seo wllct'ner
there was any remnant of life in the lifeless body,
declared that not a linger must be laid upon It, but
that It must remain exactly where It lay, with tho
dagger in it, until the commissalre arrived. At

llllt l lUbON-UOI.K I1HOKRK.
This morning the court was engaged with the trial
01 . w. ia ni 11 ru. anas t uns wooster. upon 11
charge of thg larceny of I'nlteU Slates bonds
amounting to rooi, the property of Whelen Brothers,
brokers, at No. ion 8. Third street. From tlie testi
mony It opneored that In August, 18CS, the prisoner,
with a confederate, opened an olflce at No. 2ltf Oold
street, ostentslbly to carry on tho business of
hankers and brokers, under the firm name of J. M.
Karnard A Co., and Introduced himself to brokers in
Third street. U
A day or two after commencing business he called
on Whelen Hrothers to buy iuo In gold, which was
sent to his otllce and paid for. Again, on the 8lst, of
August, he went to the same gentlemen to purchase
Irsioo In bonds, four fftoo bonds and three liouo bonds;
they drew up a check, whlcL was presented to Jay
Cooke A Co. by their clerk, who obtained tho bonds
and Immediately delivered them to the prisoner at
his otllce.
When the clerk entered the office ho found tho
prisoner aud another man sitting upon a sofa; the
prisoner arose, holding pome money a, id a pieco of
paper looking like a check in his hands; took the
bonds up and examined them, said they were all
right, and expressed hts Intention of going out to
have a check cashed ; lie opened a small door In his
otllce desk, placed the bonds In a little pigeon-hole,
closed the door iumJ. turned us If to go Into the
street. r
The other man, who had retired behind a partition
that passed In the rearof the desk, stepped nut land
called him; they held a short conversation In a low
tone and botr ent away together. The clerk waited
In vain for their return, and becoming suspicious of
foul play, made au examination of tlie desk and dis
covered' that the pigeon-hole In which the bonds hail
been placed had no back to it, and in tho partition
behind the desk was a hole connecting wliti the
pigeon-hole.
When this was found, the truth was at once appa
rent. As soon as the hands were put Into the pigeon
hole the second man put his hand through the open
ing in the partition, took them out, and both ab
sconded. The matter was at once communicated to
Whelen lirotlu rs, aud placed in the bauds of detec
tives, who made a search of the otllce, (hiding, how
ever, nothing more than a few pens, some paper, a
package of business cards, and a note, which read
something In this wise :
'"Two men started out in tho world with tho resolution
of rising by honest men ns, but finding no veriti'iation of
the old adage. 'Honesty is the best policy, they concluded
to adopt another course 'Wow you Bee it, and now you
don't.' .iri'iyii,"
The prisoner left tho State, and was only a few
weeks ago arrested in New York; the bonds were
never recovered.
In behalf of the prisoner no evidence was otrered,
the facts being admitted, but counsel suggested the
following as a point of law: The bonds having been
purchased by the clerk of tne prosecutors, upon
their check, from Jay Cooke Ar Co., never having
been delivered to the prosecutors, but taken di
rectly from the bunk to the prisoner, thoy
never came to the possession of the prosecutors,
and, therefore, they never had a property In them as
was required to sustain the Indictment. Tho Judge,
however, overruled this, declining to hear an argu
ment upon it, and, no speeches being made, the
jury rendered a verdict of guilty.
It Is said that this man lias been known to have
played the same game successfully in Cincinnati.
VARIOUS KINDS OF CASKS.
Timothy Collin was convicted of a charge of enter
ing a house with intent to steal. He was found one
evening in the house No. KSfiil North sixth street,
and gave no other explanation than that he was
drunk und tired, and was only looking for a place
where he might lie down to sleep.
John Flood, a boy, was convicted of the larceny of
five dollars and a "coat, lie was bound from the
House of Kefnge to William Callahan, a junk dealer,
and one day made otr with a live dollar bill that had
been given him to buy goods for Mr. Callahan, nnd
a coat belonging to Mr. Callahan's son. In mitiga
tion the prisoner said he acted in concert with Mr.
Callahan's son, who had agreed that both of them
should "knock down the old man's stamps and make
a divvy."
Charles ITart, colored, was convicted of the larceny
of a roll of carpet. It was taken from a second
hand dealer and was pledged by the prisoner to a
pawnbroker. He said ho hadn't stolen it, but had
merely pawned it for a man named Brown lu order
to earn twenty-live cents.
John Williams, colored, was acquitted of a charge
of larceny.

The Tribune has the following from Havana on the
2Mb ult.:
An incident which proves the lawless character Of
the times here has recently occurred. At one of the
courts an attachment was granted against tho pro
perty 01 a Hpanisn volunteer, tiio Cleric 01 rue conn

death If he attempted to enter the house. He re
ported tne matter to tne juuge, ana returned wun
policemen to the place, but found four more volun
tce.s there determined to prevent the attachment
being levied. The ouly resourco was to report the
matter to Itodus, but lie has done nothing to have the
law enforced.

JN'EW oiiK, Oct. 1. Tho Stock market shows
a decided advance on all shares this morning;,
with more firmness than for several days past.
To the observer It is plainly seen that it lacks
activity, but it is (rcueruily conceded that it re

tho prevailing feeling is that prices have so far
declined that a reaction must naturally follow.

An Upward Tendency.
The whole tendency of the stock market is
higher, as it has been largely oversold, aud the
short interest is presumed to be immense-.
The Oold Room
opened this morning, but the attendance was
small compared with foregoing days, but a hot

junction served on the lingular Board in regard
to gold will set them right again as to their
organization.
The opening quotation this morning was 1.10.
Loans were made on a basis of 7 per ceut, aud
that is free of interest.
How They Do It.
Smith, fiquld, Martin to Co. are to-day receiv
ing gold that is, they will receive and pay for
one-half in this way: If Brown has bought for
their account oae. million, they will take but
five hundred thousand, and by their doing this
there is no confidence placed in tho street.
