embezEloment the public taa been
made perfectly familiar. V no appro
priation of the three drafts amounting
to 44: the unpudont olaimot
a commission often percent, on nearly
two millions wbicb bad been collouled
long before tlio l'onnsylvania logialu
tnre and Governor Geary went into
lobby operations at Washington ; the
peculation of a million besides the
perccntnL'cs np to AnetiRi, 1870. os
shown by Evans' own report: the
payment of $2!),7.53 at the last hour
in a stupid attempt to cover over the
infumom transaction ; all these points
have been presented again and uguin.
But thore are some minor faots
bich throw much liirht on the easo.
In the prccipiluncy with which Evans
made up his report to Governor Geary
in view of an imtninont exposure, he
dated it "Washington, July 21." But
bis check" in lavor ol Uovornor Goary,
drawn on the Tonth Nalionnl Bunk,
New York, for S29.9U7.63 is dated
July 24th j all of which shows that
the report was not made on the day
of its da to, but subsequent to the 24th
of July.
Tho person who is named as having
rccoivod 16,000 is Mr. D. C. Fornoy,
of tho Washington Sunday Chronicle.

issued on the 23d of Juno, and followed
it to llarrisburg, resolved that be
would no longer Bo balked in his hon
est efforts to obtain a sbaro of tho
swag. The Governor was absent at
tbo time, and fornoy impatiently
awaited his return. Mndo happy by
the receipt of $5,000, Forney loll at
once for his borne in Washington.
The first amount paid into the Stato
Treasury was for (137,822.59. It was
evidently the intention of the Syndi
cate over which Evans presides to
emoegEie this amonnt as wuii as tho
former ones, and they wcro dotorred
only by fuar of expoHuro. Tho treas
ury wnrrar.t, JNo. 843, Is lor 137,922..
69. This wus divided into two drafts.
The first, No. 1,003, to John W. Geary
or order, is for $120,000. It is dated
April 11, 1871, and was paid April 15,

is uuieu April i&iu, nnu pnm April

two drafts make up the amount uf
tho warrant for 1137,822.69. The
money did not reach the treasury
until April 25th, though Evans states
that he paid It to Uovornor Geary on
the 16lh of the month. We have al
ready Been what his statements are
wortli. ... ' ..
Now, what was tho purposo in di
viding up tho money into two drafts?
it was undoubtedly lor tho conveni
once of , the ring. The 117,822.59
muko more than ten per cent, on the
amount of tho wnrrnnt, and Evans
keeps Ins accounts extromury loosely
or ne wouia nave Known that ho was
then a defaulter to the amount of noralv
one hundred thousand dollnrs beyond
till the commissions which he claims
Whether he moant to appropriate tho
whole of this warrant can only be con-
joctured. But it is extremely probably
that tho Intention wa to place It with
its tbroo predecessors. That a portion
was meant fur tho ring is clear from
this division of the warrant into con
venient drufts. What . Assists this
probablo conjooture is tbo fact that on
or about the 11th ot April, the first
rumor; nf this swindle were put Into
circulation, Some of the ring were
looking aftor their share of tho booty,
and made loud threats of exposure in
case of refusal to comply with their
demands. It was then eonulndod best
to liav the mono Into tha treasury
and thus escape the oxaotiona of the
black mailers. To this fear of expos
ure does Pennsylvania owe the first
payment into the Slate treasury on
the 25th of April, 1871. The two
drafts wero paid into the treasury the
tame day. Bat that was not tha de

GIGANTIC NATIONAL FRAUDS.
The Great tleean of Corruption Deteea

" Kuows. ,,- ,,,, , .., . i : .f
To TDK Euitob o Tin Sum Sir;
In an article published in the Wash
ington Republican of August 7, al
lusion was made to a contemplated
pamphlet, wherein it was proposed to
show np spociCo acts of corruption of
certain government oftioiuls who have
tho general management of affairs at
tho National- Capital. After further
reflection on the matter my bolter
judgment has determined that by your
pnrmiaoion 1 eon giro through, your
coluuiui onoe or twice a week, epistles
. ii i.i: e i. i i, f
iu tue puuuu ui bucii uruviiy unu cum
prchensivunoss as shall serve the pur
poso and be bettor understood by the
gonoral reader. .
Tbo fact of my official connection
with the Government, familiarity with
the persons implicated, and with the
details of much of tlio semi-official
villainy, corruption, fraud and favor
itism in practioe at tbo nation's Capi
tal, and of my knowlodgoof the intrig
uing, unscrupulous and dishonosl po
litical demagogues who now have tho
control of the Government, warrant
the supposition that if 1 am possessed
of the abilities roquisito. I havo the
material fact from which to (rive an
exhibit which should Interest every
lover of his country, and induce him
to demand a chango of government
officials. ti .
I am aware that such a course will
bring upon me a degree of personal
vituperation. I intend to remain in
Washington, and will not bo less a
Republican because of Ibis expose, by
which I desire to show the publio the
style and practice of the political dem
agogues and financial villinns who
have been and are dosirous of continu
ing tho control of our nation's nolitics
and finances. I shall affix mv name
to all papers emanating from mo, and
will respond only to ihoso who will
show their haods in like manner. :
My papors will open with the estab
lishment and proof, beyond successful
controversy, of the gignnlio fraud on
tho publio and government in the
articlo of United States bonds, mint
ing to tne redemption, exehanire. nnd
inlorest thereon. I shall endeavor to
give this subject (so little understood)
such nn expose that the humblest shall
not fail to comprehend the corrupilon
and fraud by which the people or the
govornmont aro swindled to the ex
tent of millions of dollars annually.
Durinif the prozrossof these oti'iHtlca
to the poopte I shall expose the pecu
lations and mismanagement of the
printing department of the treasury,
and also the glaring frauds and favor
itism in the paper contracts of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in the
specialty of what is known aa the
nore paper, and promiso in advance
rich developments in that particular.
Among the many matters I shall ex
pose 1 inlcnd to give tho history
of the etonmor Golden Itulo, which
streamer was wrecked, premcditat
edly, on the Koncador reels, in the
Carihboan sea, and about three mil
lions of government treasure was sto
len fro in the govornmcut safe on board.
knowing as I do the Dailies who
committed the theft, I will show
how one of these parties became inti
mate with President Grant (probably
through Parisian outfits for ladies),
and that ultimately this man's name
was actually sent to tho United States
Senate for confirmation as A high
official representative of tho govorn
mont at Paris. I will show how and
why tatd nomination was rejected,
and what high dignitancs have drunk
abundantly of the French wines pre
sented to them and purchased with
me tunas or the proceeds of the rob
bery of tho nation's treasure on board
of the Golden Hule.
I shall continue those nnners for the
boncfit of all concornod, believing it is
to the intorcst of tho publio to under
stand tbe characters of those who rob
and rulo thorn In Washington. '

The above is tho opinion of an emi
nent detective, who was, liko Gonoral
Plcasanton, turned out of office because
ho refused to shut his eyes to the
pruotice of gigantic frauds. Now read
what the Philadelphia Age says on

of the Commissioner to make a con

the year, at a saving of $40,000 per
annum. As furnished, tbo quality of
paper was poor and tbe pneo exorbi
tant mo price was about ono-tbit'd
greater than tbo cost of plain white
bank-note paper; although the fibre
paper could be made for less than the
othor. , A firm asked to be ullowed to
compete for tho contract, bat it was
given to a Mr. Wilcox of Philadelphia.
As tbe aot of July, 1808, direots tbe
Commissioner of Internal lieventio to
provide . stamps, General Pleasonton
thought that it was his business to
procure paper. Wilcox was a bidder,
but the contract was awardod to a
Mr. Iludson of Connecticut, who offer
ed to furnish either while or fibre pa
per at prices much less than those
named by Wilcox, It now appears
that a relative of Mr. Boutwell, named
Bemis, is tha stamp agont at Mr.
Wilcox's mills, at a large salary.
Plcasonton's contract was revoked,
and Wilcox is still supplying the Bu
reau with paper. These uro serious
charges. 1 hey must be met, not by
mere denials, but by such tacts as will
satisfy honest in on of all parties. But
the matter does not end bore. Wm.
P. Wood, late Chief of the Secret Ser
vice of tho Treasury Department, has
recently published a card, io which he
attacks Mr. Boutwell vigorously, and
threatens other revelations. Among
other charm's, be makos the following.
. First. That there are a million of
dollars of government bonds which
huve been, and are now, in daily pro
gress of exchange and redemption,
while tbe true owners are receiving
me interest uue on said bonus. Iho
identical bonds drawn have been re
ceived or exchanged by the irovern-
mont under Sccrotary Boutwell, as
also bis predecossor, through the con
nivance of unscrupulous- bankers and
ignorant and corrupt officials of the
government, by erasures and fictitious
numbering of gonuine bonds, the re
sult of which will bo that tho credi
tors of the government will either
have to suffer tbe loss of these bonds or
be relieved from loss by some special
act of Congress, in which case the
government will bo tbo loser of thous
ands and thousands of dollars oo tho
article of registered bonds alono.
Socond. It will be shown that the
paper transactions of tbe Treasurv
Department are of such a character
they will not bear a luir examination
without exhibiting the Secretary's
ignorance of tbe subjoct, or his con
nivance at the glaring frauds and
favoritism which bus been in practice
under his administration of the De
partment. It will also be proven that
the honorable Secretary disposed ol
the valuable papor making machinery
of tho government at one fourth its
original cost, and at loss than one-half
of the sum offered for the machinery
by parties not bis favorites.
Mr. Boutwell occupies a most re
sponsible position. ' llo is entrusted
with Important duties, and must an
swer to the peoplo for tho manner in
which thoy aro discharged. His ad
ministration of tho Treasury Depart
ment has been attacked, not by hints
and inuondoos, but by open charges,
supported by facts and figures. A
defanso, to ba successful, must run in
tho same ruts. Shall we have it f In
connection wilh this caso, will the
people look at tho Grant administra

Grant's Contempt for Law.
The alarming outrage recently com
mitted at New Orleans br Proaidnni
Grant, through his brother in-law and
nig other onicoholders. thoutrh exceed.
ing in audacity and in its menace to
liberty everything before attempted
in this country, is, after all, entirely
in harmony with the geooral conduct
of Grant sinco bis accession to the
Presidency.
The predominant characteristic of
bis Administration from the beginning
until now is contempt of law.
Immediately after the inauguration,
Gen. Grant appointed Adolpha Botio
or r nnaaeipnia 10 tne nominal position
of Secretary of the Navy, at the same
lime assigning his own personal fa
vorite, Admiral David D. Porter, to
perform tbo rcul duties of the office.
This involved both imposture and
usurpation. Tbo President had no
right whatever to intrust any naval
officer wiih the power and authority
of Secretary of tho Navy. The aot
was one of contempt for law upon a
great scale; and il was persevered in
until Mr. Borie, who has somo sensi
tiveness, could bear it no longer.
Another act, notorious thou and
since, in which Grant's contempt for
law has bocn manifostod, is tne ap
pointed of Augustus C. Ford as Asses
sor of Internal ltevonue in the Eighth
District of this city. Ford was an
old crony of Gen. Grunt'a, tho Ford
family having been connected wilh
the Grant fumily in various ways.
Tho law reqiilros that every Assessor
of Internal Revenue must live in tbe
district where his office is; but Grant
appointed Ford, although he knew at
the time that ho lived in Brooklyn;
and though Ford still lives thero, he
is continued in office.
Anothor unblushing outrage upon
the luw is Grunl's maintenanco of a
militury court at the White House.
The law provides that no military
officer shall be attached to the house
hold of the President, and expresuly
forbids any such officer to perform the
functions of any civil post Never
tholoss, President Grunt has from the
first kept about his person three or
four generals and colonels, giving the
mansion of the Chief Magistrate the
appearance of a military headquarters.
This also has Involved iniposiure as
well as a violation of law. These
officers are sent to Congress with
messages from tho President, and in
tbo otiiciul journal in which the pro
cccdings of Congress are published
they are spoken of, without their mil
itary titles, as private secretaries of
tbo President, when all the whilo il
is notorious that they are officers of
the army detailed from their proper
dunes to swell tbo court and pcrtorm
tho private behests of the ruler. Had
Andrew Johnson committed any such
violation of law, his conviction in the
impeachment trial would have been
certain, and tho whole country would
have acquiesced In its justice.
A still more fearing violation of law
is Grant's interference in tho civil war
in San Domingo. Without any au
thority whatever, he has directed the
commandors of our national vessels in
those waters to engage in acts of bos
lility against one of tho parties in that
contest; and nnder these orders of
his tbe armed forces of tho United
States have becomo active participants
in such warfare Louis Napoloon in
the height of his nowor would not
have dared to commit such an act of
tyranny, or to manifest such contempt
tor tbo inw ot bis empire
Wilh these things the recent great
crimo at rew urleans is simply con
sistent. It is of tho same nature. It
reveals the some spirit. It demon-
slrates that President Grant knows
no law but his own pleasure, and that
he is ready to trample upon every
restriction imposod by tho Constitu
tion and the statutes of tho land,
whenovcr they may stand in the way
of the Selfish or absurd dosigns which
his thoughtless and obstinate fancy
may be led to adopt. X. Y. Sun.
A Husband's Bevenge.
The most difficult thing iu the
world for a woman to do is to got
ready to go anywhere And thore is
nothing a woman will resent quicker
or moro fiercely than an intimation
that she may possibly miss Ihe train.
Our friend, III ay fugle, gives us an in
stance of this. Mr. Bray was sup
posed to tako Ibe Ion 0 clock truin on
the Bee Lino, to visit some relatives
in an intorior town. Having suffered
on previous oncosiona fur iujudioiouo
suggestions, Bray thought that, for
onto, be would lot things take their
natural course Ho ho sipped his cot-
fee and ate his eggs on toast, while
Madame curled and powdered, and
dancod attendance on the looking
glass, and tied bark on the back ol
her head. Then Bray sat by tho stove
an hoar and read the morning poper,
whilo tho Madame still continued to
get ready. At lust, just as ho had
reached the final paragraph of reading
tnuttor, and was begining on the ad
vertisements, Madamo tied her bon
net strings under hor chin, took one
long, lingering, loving look at ibe
image reflected in tho glass, and
s w colly announced :
"Woll, my doar, I'm ready I"
"Ready for chtit," asked Bray, in
well afloo ted aslonibhmont.
"To go to the dopol, to be sure,"
suid Mrs. Brayfoglo, tartly.
"Oh 1" said Bray, "I'd forgotten.
Well, Madame," continued be, looking
at his watch, "that train has been
gone thirteen minutes Just keep on
your things, and you'll be ready for
the truin to-morrow morning."
Wo draw a vail over what followed.
We are assured, however, that the
next morning Mrs. B. was ready an
hour ahond of lime.

The Crimes of Communism.
Day by day the developments go
on, showing that the groat Paris in
surrection was not the work of a few
fanatical would-be reformers, but the
actual results of a world-wido conspi
racy, which indulgos in the Utopian
dream of sotting up a "Universal So
oial Republic," a government in which
crime and licentiousness is to become
the rule, and ordor and virtuo the ex
coption.
It is not oasy to trace the "Intor.
national" back to its true and exact
origin. It is thought, however, that
it was first origamaed in its present
form at the time of the great Interna
tional Exposition at Pariiu the year
1862; but it is probablo that tho
movement originated much earlier
than this in the form of secret ollti
cal societies organised in different
parts of Europe for revolutionary pur-
J osos, although the first steps for tbe
ormslion of an International society
muy have been taken in 1862. This,
at loast, is tbe opinion of iL Favre,
who bus doubtless given tbo matter
much study, and as there has always
been a number of secret political so
cieties in existence throughout Europe
and as they woro all working for the
attainment of a common end, their
consolidation under one name and di
rection could not have been difficult of
accomplishment at a time when tbe
pon'na or the" Exposition of 1863 nf.
lorded a convenient pretext for the
assembling of the revolutionary lead
ers of Europo at the French capital.
lite organization baa grown so
rapidly under its present form of or
ganization, and it hss branched out
and ramified over all Europe; and the
united bUles is not tree from its con.
taminating tooch. In Europe the so
ciety is vuatt in its proportions, terri-

io ue areauca.. jiow lar it is true
that the universal Carbonari of all
nations known by whatever name von
please to call it, rules in the Interna
tional, is not easy of determination at
present, but certuin it is that there
was the most perfect method in tbo
apparent madness of tbe Paris Com'
mune.
What is the precise object of the
"International V Opinions widely
differ as to the answer to this question.
To sum their superficial creed up in
three words, it is this: "Liborty,
Equality, Fraternity." This is tbo
shibboleth of evoiy revolutionary
movement of the past century, and in
the mouths of the men who most
commonly employ it, as meaningless
as the "Bower of Sweet Lovo, or
"Uaven of Rest," over the doorways
of reeking brothels in tho slums of the
city. A far more appropriate motto
in tho one caso would oe "Revolution,
Anarchy, Ruin." Tbcro arc perhaps
some well mesning but impracticable
theorists, who anticipate tho estab
lishment of the universal Bipullique
Sociale, and dream of plenty, peace
and prosperity for all meDJindor its
beneficial institutions; but with tbo
mass of thoso who follow the guidance
of tho rovoluf ionary loaders, tho words
so freely used have a different signifi
cance. Liberty means the abolition
of all social or legal restrictions which
require of men to abstain from pursu
ing their own Inclinations without any
regard to the rights of others and tbo
general well being of socioty. To
them Equality means a genorul level
ing of all social distinctions and an
equal distribution of lands and accu
mulated wealth among those who la
bor. Fraternity means what wo hnvo
lately seen in Paris, when a debate In
Council usually ended in an order
from tbo majority that the refractory
minority bo taken out and summarily
executed. Tho moans by which
"Liberty, Equulily, Fraternity" aro
to bo obtained show how dangerous
to the well being of socioty, are all
attempts to carry them out. In a
manifesto put forth by tbe 'Interna
tional" at the Nuremburg session in
18G8 it ia declared that society must
bo reorganized I. e, disorganized
and that an equal distribution of
wealth must be effected. "All tho
grout indispensable means of existence,
as lands, mines, machines and mean
of communication, roust bo the com
mon property of all, and most bo
made so gradually. Nothing can
rojsonably bo private properly oat tbe
product of labor one's own labor."
Tbe church itself, the corner stone
of civilulion, is looked upon by these
Socialists merely as a means for
swindling mankind. In their own
words, the leaders of the "Interna
tional" say:. "The allianoe declares
itself atheist. Il scoks the abolition
of worship, the substitution of science
for fuith, of human for divine justice,
and tho abolition of marriage.
Shall this liepublique Sociale be es
tablished f This is a question which
oven wo may begin to ask one anoth
er in this country, in view of tho ut
terances of tho leading politicians of
the east, who are trying to corrupt
the social morals of the land In view
