NKW DEVELOPMENT IN THE CASE OP AN
OLD FRAUD -MODIFICATION AND
PAHSAQK OF THE BILL TO RE
PEAL Tin Hi'ieir. risl'WP-
TloN ACT MEXICAN
AWAHD BILL, ETC.
In the course of tbe investigations
of the committee on expenditures in
the Treasury Department it has been
round that in the Treasurer's journal
i'or June 30, 18U5, the account for the
quarter and tho fiscal year is completed
by soveu orders of tbe transfur of notes
irora tbe Washington offices to offices
at New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and Louisville, the total of theso sevon
orders being (19,000,000. These SI!),.
000,000 are balanced by an entry also
at the close of tho account fur the
quurter and tho fiecal year ol $ 1 9,000,
000 deposited as temporary loan at six
per cent. Ho depositor's name is given
either on this account or on the list of
loan depositors. The deposit is put
down in a lump, as by disbursing offi
cors ; no intercut to be paid. A close
investigation of the records, which has
quietly gone on for some time, rovoals
the fact that no sucb deposit was made;
that tho entry of 119,000,000 Is fulso,
and that tho balance which it helps to
make is forced. It turns out that the
$19,000,000 were taken from tho re
serve of unissued compound-interest
notes at various limes before Juno 30,
and transmitted to assistant treasurers
and depositaries w ho paid them out.
This issue of 119,000,000 wus concealed,
not beitig even placed on the books
which wero withheld from publio In
spection. The transfer order, which
simply directed the moving of notes
from one point to another in Treasury
offices, and did not represent money,
were put into tbo reserve in pluco of
these secretly issued nineteen millions
of notes, and were carried on the books
as cash till Juno 30, when they wore
entered on the journals, instead of be
ing put down at their dates. Mean
while tbo books fulsely staled that
those nineteen millions were on hand
in the reservo, when they were really
in circulation. Tbe transfer ordersj
were falsely stamped as paid by the
Treasurer, June 30, 1805. Tbo regu
lar books and records do not show the
nature of the transaction, which bad to
bo carefully examined to got at the
trutb. The Issue was not acknowl
edged in the Treasury statements lor
afterward. A certificate of tomporary
loan deposit for $19,000,000 was made
out to tho credit ol disbursing officers,
and pat away in an unusual pluco.
This certificate was mado out July 1,
and dated back to June 30, which took
it back into the previous fiscal year
aud made it seem applicable to balance
toe account, while the notes were
secretly going out, Tho amount on
band during the fiscal year was made
to appear hy the books to incroase in
stead ol diminish. When the Issue
finally acknowledged tbe temporary
loan deposit of 119,000,000 was put
down as paid, while in fact no pay
ment took placo. Secretary McCul.
lough stated in tbe Fall of 18C5 that
without tbe 140,000,000 rcaliied from
tlie sales of gold to November 1 of that
year there would have been a necessity
tor a further issuo of Interest-bearing
notes.
It now transpires that during Ibis
very time tbia very further issue was
made. Mr. Glover says it has sot yet
been ascertained whether this immense
forced balance and secret issuo covora
a great defalcation, but that bo has in
bis possession sworn evidence that
nearly every important account of the
Treasury has been fulsilied to an un
known but startling extent, and that
if the IIouso will authorise his commit
tee to sit during tho vacation, and
vote the needful expert aid, he will
prove it. II o says it is impossible, with
out such investigaliou, to know how
many secret issues and forced balance.
have boen mado. It will bo remem
bered that it came out belom Mr.
Glover's committee in the lust Con
gress that Huntington, Jay Cooke's
cashier, repeatedly borrowed largo
sums from tbe reserve, and that con
siderable amounts wero often absent
from tb. result, and represented by
slips of paper. Tho experts to the
committee are appalled at tb. $19,
000,000 revelation, and one ol them,
an experienced accountant, says It is
tbe most atrocious financial transaction
he ha. ever heard of, and that there is
no telling to what extent fraud and
falsification bave gone. Mr. Glover
says that his illness has been unfortu
nate in preventing the closing ol many
matters under Inquiry, but that be
deeply regrets, as he often slated dur
ing the sesaion, that bis committee was
not empowered to get to work last
November, instead of waiting till
March, for that then these mattora
could bavo boen fully developed and
laid before Congress and the country
by tbia time.
NEW DEVELOPMENT OF AN OLD FRAUD.
In the course of the investigations by
the committee on expenditures in the
Troasury Department Mr. Glover baa
been enabled to comploto the record oi
a fraud which was slightly reported at
the time and attracted very little at
tention. In 1864 Charlos H. Cornoll,
of Ohio, a friend of Secretary Chose,
ex-Cashier of the Farmers' Bank of
Salem, also ex-Cashier of a Bank at
Athena, Ohio, and ex-Treasurer ol a
county in that State, and a man highly
rocommended, was appointed to a posi
tion in tbe office of the Itcgister of tbe
Treasury. About two yean later be
was mad. chief ol the redemption
division in tb. Treasurer's oflioo, which
was charged with the cancellation and
other Treasury note, redeemed or
otherwise withdrawn, Ills duty was,
after the count of these notes, to bave
them cut lengthwise In halves and send
on. ball each package to eat to the
oRlooj of Lb. Secrotary of tb. Treasury
and th. other to that ol tbo Register,
to b. there counted and rocorded. If
tb. counts in the, two o SI cos and In
Cornweir. division agreed tb. pack
age, cf halve were taken to the base
ment and there, by Cornwell and a
olerk from each of those two offioea,
thrown Into . furnace and burned.
This wa deemed perfect protection
jK,l'""t rttUU'; but ono dny 1 son ol
' one of the clerks, who had boon ores-
r fit b-trnlnrr Vnrt bis t'other whatl
of money in hia pookot
A watch was then kept on Cornwell,
and tbe fuel was ascertained. Secre
tary Chase on bearing of tbe matter
sent to the War Department for a de
tective General L. C. Baker was de
tailed to work np tho caeo, and a search
of Cornwell' desk in the treasurer's
office, and ol his house in Georgetown,
doveloped proof of bis guilt. In tbe
latter place wero fonnd halves of about
,M, worth of notes. tu(uty
showed that he had been In the habit,
when he got upper and lower halves
ol tho same denominations of notes, of
stealing packages ol whole notes ol
that denomination, replacing them with
the packages nf half notes already ab
stractod, and entered on the books as
destroyed. By this replacement he
made the count of notes delivered by
him agree with that of notes delivered
by him, and till he was caught in the
act everything seemed correct. How
much ho bad stolen does not seem to
be known. He admitted stealing $5,000
of greenbacks and $18,000 demand
notes, beside othor amounts. 11 o bad
bought $25,000 of bonds and $0,000 of
certificates of indebtedness, which were
eold and the proceeds applied to lake
np tho notes he acknowledged having
reissued. Tbe case ia important be
cause it shows that a fraudulent roissue
ol a considerable and unknown amount
actually took place. His case shows
wjiat may bavo been done, and the
making of a fulse certificate of desti ne.
tioiiol'$30,000fractionalcurrency paperi
in ono case, and of false certificates ol
destruction of over $18,000,000 ol bonds
in others, which investigations in past
years have developed, show that a dis-
posilion to repeat such offenses existed
whilo vast destructions were going on
It is stated by a gentleman who has
bad access to confidential information
that Cornwell realized over $100,000
by bis peculations, and paid his coun
sel, Lieutenant Governor Ford, of Ohio,
a tee of $10,000 after his pardon was
secured. Baltimore Gazette.
THE INVESTIGATION.
Tbo following candid article from
the Now York Journal of Commerce,
ot May 22, (a perfectly independent
popor) will well repay perusal :
"It was not safe at first to predict
what course the investigation would
take or exactly for what purpose it
was originated, and a truo estimate ol
its character depended wholly on tho
answer to these questions. If the ob
ject of the measure was to unsettle the
work of the Electoral Commission, and
to remove the present incumbent from
tho Presidential chair, tbe great mass
of good citixens of all parties would
feel that, however just tho result in
itself considered, it could only be reach
ed through a great National excite
meut too costly lor patient contempla
tion. Hut if the purpoxe ol the inves
tigation is to settle the great question
not only left unhealed by that Com
mission, but which it absolutely refused
to consider, the mas. of the people will
most heartily accept it
There never was a sorer disappoint
ment than was lull in every bonest
breast than when tbo Commission tbat
was devised to settle tb. great contro
versy which threatened to plunge tbe
nation into a new civil war merely de
termined tbo succession to th. Presi
doncy on technical grounds, and refused
by a vote of eight to seven to make
any investigation that would show who
was honestly elected. If tbe tribunal
bad properly taken up tb. inquiry
gathered in all tho available 'testi
mony, beard the arguments and ap
eals from both sides, and then decided
in favor of tbe present incumbent
while the rosult would not hav. satis
fied any of tbe political partisans -on
the defeated sido, tho people, having
secured at least tbe form of a trial,
wou';d have acquiescod in it without
any serious murmuring. Th. refusal
of even this form was a great mistuko,
and tho popular discontent which grew
out of it has not abated with the lupse
o4 time. .
A strong Committee has been ap
pointed, and one that w. trust will
deal fuirly and honestly with tbe ques
tions at issue. We do not expect from
its investigation a full exposuro ol the
frauds that were perpetrated. So long
a time bus elapsed that some traces of
th. gross corruption will doubtless lie
obliterated. But w. do bop. that tbo
main facta will be set lorth in blaze
of noonday light, and th. real criminals
b. held np to tho publio gate. If th
can be done it will prove a more effec
tual safeguard against a repetition of
th. wrongs than any that can be estab
lished by the promised legislation that
is. to follow it. When Instruments of
evil are rendered infamous, they must
war against the good more openly, if
at all, and their ill designs can thus be
exposed and. defeated. With these
avowed objects and limitations, we do
not see why the search to be mado
should not commend itself to every
honest man who thinks more of tho
welfare of bis country than any mcro
partisan triumph.
UNFOLDING.
Tho Potter committee continue Its
startling disclosures and confirms tbo
opinion tbat it is engaged in no random
search for facts, bat is rather develop.
ing a story that is known in all its do-
tails to th. examiners and only awaits
unfolding to the public. The witness
yesterday, was on. of tb. Hayes elec
tor, of Louisiana, who testified to the
interesting details of th. attempt to
bribe bim by a brokor of New Orleans
named Uernandcx, acting, as is now
known, for gambler who were inter
estod In tb. election of Tilden. There
wa nothing new In this testimony, ex
cept it details, tbe fact of tb. attempt
mad. to corrupt Levlssoe having been
mada publio on prior Investigation.
According to Leviase.' story, which
there is no ground for discrediting, be
wa offered first $40,000 to refus. to
act a so .lector, bis tempter insidi
ously suggesting to him tbat he should
refus. to do so on high moral grounds,
taking tb. position that th. Hayes
lectori bad not been chosen in Louisi
ana. A seductive picture wa painted
to him ol tb attitude b. would occupy
before th. ooantry, refusing to Uk. an
offios and exercise a power to which
b. bad aot been chosen by tb. popular
will ; and receiving 140,000 for tbia
masnifioent display ol virtu..
Lev Ii-1
soo wu not tempted by the prico, but
demanded 1200,000, not, he declares,
lh the intention ol taking it, but, to
his lemptur and to keep up the negoti
alien until be could learn who was at
the bottom of it. Tbe explanation ol
his reason for offering to sell out fur
ailiO.OOO ii not vory satisfactory, but
is satisfactory to know that tbo doctor
could not bo bought for $100,000, which
he says was the biggest figure that
was finally offered him, and then tho
condition was that be should vote for
Tilden. We must all feel refreshed
mat there is on. main In f(.o country
who has refused to sell his voto for
$100,000, evon though it was for tho
right ; because tho right must not
got votos in that way. We do
hope that this pleasing imago ol
Lovissee's virtue will not be destroy
od during tbe future course of tho ln
qtury by tbo revolution that bo got
more for the vote be did give than
was offered him for the one bo refused
to cast,
But the surprising fact appears thut
though Luvisseo refused tho money
that was offered him to abstain from
voting, be, in reality, did not vote ; or
rather, he did not sign the papers, de
claring the vote ol himself and his col
leagues, upon which tbe electoral com
mission based its conclusion that Hayes
had received tho voto ol Louisiana.
Luvissc. did sign one paper or one set
of papers; only ono paper of this set
reached tho Yico President and that
one came by mail. It was inlornial
und incomplete ; and it was discovered
to bo necessary that others should be
substituted. This was done, and
formally correct paper reached the
Vico President by mail and a copy of
it wus also presented to bim by tho
spocial mosscngcr, Thomas C. Ander-
son, of tho returning board. These
lutter papqrs Levissee declares he did
not sign ; and the result is that tbo
vote ol Louisiana was awarded to
Hayes on forged pupcrs. This objec
tion to his titlo is a technical one, as
it is conceded that Lovissee signed the
original papers, and no doubt would
bavo signed the copies of them correct
ed in accordance with the requirements
of the law. But Mr. Hayes' offlco
was accorded to him by tho commission
wholly on technical grounds, and not
because be was in fact honestly elocted.
if it hud appeared to tbe commission
that the e'gnuturei wero forged on the
papers presented to Congress, it could
not have recognized them and awarded
Hayes the Presidency on the bare
ground on which they did award it to
him, namely, that on tho face of the
papers it belonged to bim and thoy had
no authority to go bohind the papers.
Tbe commission could not bave avoided
an examination of the papers (hem-
selves, and could not huvo considered
p certificate whose signatures were
wholly or in purt forged.
It is violently urged by the partisans
ot Hayes I hut his title has becu adjudi
cated and must nut be challenged.
Even Democrats of respectability are
heard to assent to this doctrine. But
this testimony takes away the founda
tion etone of their argument. Tbcy
cannot claim that Congress granted the
electoral commission power to decide
the presidential question npon forged
certificates. Tb. most tbat bas been
claimed by those who choose to con
sider the decision of tb. electoral com
mission to be final is that it bad power,
under tb. delegation to it by Con
gress of its powers, to decide the
election upon the certificate.; but
it cannot be claimed tbat tb. subse
quent evidence as to tb. forgery ol
those certificates does not afford ample
reason for tb. re-opening of tho case.
No court in CbriBtondom would toler
ate such a continued triumph of fraud.
Lancaster Intelligencer. '
Political Tbaiiicdian. Tbo Phila
delphia Time says: "Th. Democrat
of the Potter Committee bavo about
decided to drop Senator Matthews,and
not dignify bim by a test of power
with tba Senate. Just as the Demo
crats incline to drop him, the licpubli
cans discover that he is in th. worst
possible position lor a long stay, and
they want to force him to volunteer
bis testimony. Matthews' brief polit
ical career will be set down as tbe
shortest and moat resplendent comedy
of errors of modern history. He can't
lot himself alone, and when his enemies
Conclude to let him alone because bo
is just where be must do himself and
bis party most barm, bia friends prod
him from .very aide to go and do ex
actly what thoy were at first afraid he
would do. There teem to bo but on.
mora act in the Stanley Mutthows com
edy, and that is for bim to step down
aud out."
Bulla rd'i Case. O. F. Bullard, ex
legislator from Delaware county, was
convicted in the courts ol that county
recently of embezzling the funds of a
building association of Media. Wbilea
member of tha Legislature be wa ar
rested and imprisoned, but attempted
to evade prosecution by pleading his
privilege as a member of th. House.
11 is Republican friends in th. House
assisted bim a far as they could by
bringing him to llarrisburg, allowing
him to draw 1000 from the State Treas
ury, and then make bis escape from
lb. custody of th. Sorgeant-at-Arms.
Tb. Stat, paid a further sum of $500
for his recapture, and a bill presented
by Sergeant at-Arms Gaines of $197.00
for photographs, etc, of th. escaped
Legislator. H. will now take his seat
in the penitentiary lor tbe next year,
to th. disgrace of the State and him
self.
