anil the Department of Justice had
procured In the sumo Unio nppropna
tiona of $285,000 (o bo spoilt by tbut

bis subordinates are salaried officials,
and though under the law vory few
cotton cases are now allowod to go bo
fore the Court.
An infumous law, procured from
Congress by implicated parties, forbids
the owners of cotton to sue the Socro
tary of the Treasury or his agents, fur
taking away their cotton, and appro
priations have been repeatedly obtain

Andrew lloumor, s Union ollicer,
settled in Alabama in the Spring of
laua, and raised a crop ot cotton wortb
about :!0,000. When it was roady for
market one of the Treasury thieves
seised it. The Cotton Bureau kept
llosmor out of his money ten years,
took from him one fourth as "commis
sion" to the robber, another fourth as

SIIAMEl-VL FRAUDS AND ABUSE OF THE
CAPTURED COTTON TRUST FUND.
There were twenty-one supervising
special property agents, and their ac
count woro ordorod to bo settled by
Kobert E. Prcxton of the First Audi
tor's office. In bis statomont l'roston
reports that J, M. Tomeny, agent,
collected 7,469 bales, and sont Diaper
5,408 ; but Tomeny swore boforo tbo
(J lover Committee that he collected
10,090 bales and sont Draper 11,111,
5,630 more than l'roston credited him
with in the official settlement. Special
Agent U. 11. Burbridge swore that
Proston demanded and roceired money
from him before he would begin set
tling bis account ; that Preston made
a second demand, which was refused,
and that honce Iiurbridgo's accounts
remain unsettled. TheSupromeCourt
bas decided that tho proceeds of cap
tured cotton are a trust fund in tho
hands ot the Treasury for the benofit
of tho owners; but, as has boon seon,
this trust is shamefully abused. Mill
ions of this trust fund were depositod
by Socretary AlcCullouch in Jay
Cooke's First National Bank of Wash
ington, which enjoyod the nse and
profit thereof, while the owners suffer
ed. William E. Chandler, whilo Assist
ant Secretary of tbe Treasury, caused
a full list of the valid cotton claims to
be mado out and furnished to him, and
soon aftor resigned and wont into the
practice of "law" at Washington. The
official who mado Chandler tho list
swore that it was worth at least 8 1011,--000
to its holder.
the iiaine hospital service ii r.
woouworth's testimony.
Dr. John M. Woodworth, Supervis
ing Surgcon licncral of Marino Hospit
als, testified that under his manage
ment the Marino Hospital service was
not self sustaining, though ho had re
ported to make it appear that it was,
doublod tho tux on sailors and had a
rovonuo of over $.'150,000 a year to sup
port the service with ; that he bad ob
tained from Assistant Socretary Conant
approval of vouchers for 12,100 extra
pay ana traveling expenses for aoveral
months, in violation ot law, wbile pro-
paring a ronort on cholera, which ex
tra, without law or authority, wore
take from tbe hospital fund collected
from sailors ; that tbe Iiogistor ot tho
Treasury a statements nover showed
tha true condition oi the Marine Hos
pital fund, the Register's figures being
always Doltor man the tacts, and tuat
ho was not allowed to slate the truth
n this report, because it would differ
from the Register's, and that thero
wore often many unpaid bills.
Dr. Woodworth furthortcstificd that
there was no law regulating the num
ber or appointment ot Marine Hospital
ofHcors, and that, though the service
was not sell supporting, he wished to
appoint nineteen moro officers ; that
there was no law tor proper examina
tion of such officers before appoint
ment ; that he bad been at perpetual
war witn tne treasury as to wbo the
hospital oflioors should bo; that there
was no regulating tbe expenditures for
buildings. It turnod out that Wood
worth, while professing to Investigate
the cholera epidemic, had drawn con
trary to law 6 a day and 10 centa a
mile traveling expensos, in addition to
his salary, for seven months, ovor (2,-
000 ; that the statomonts of oxponsoa
of the aorvieea in aome of his report
did not include repaint, fuel, furniture,
salaries of onginoors and firemon, lights
and water, which, in 1874 and 1875,
amounted to SuZ,60u, and that benoe
these Btatomcntsot expenses are incor
rect and unreliable ; that tho Treasury
bad long been in the habit of unlaw
fully allowing "commutation" instoad
of actual oxpenscs to traveling officials,
thus unlawfully increasing their com
pensation. Woodworth'a bills abovo
mentioned, were ronuored and passed
by tho Auditor and Comptroller, con
trary to law, as "compensation" for
collecting information. Whon the
U lover Committee caused them to be
examined they were found to be alter
ed from "compensation" to "commuta
tion,"and the words "for exponsos" put
in, both In Woodworth a handwriting.
Dr. Frank W. lteilly, one of Wood
worth's assistants, (I row bis regular
par from the hospital fund, and other
pay for investigating two subjects at
tbe same time.
The Marnine Hospital at Pittsburgh
was sold on Woodworth'a recommend
ation for 137.000. a verbal oninion
boing obtained from the First Comp
troller that 120,000 already received
from sale ot part or the grounds oould
bo nscd for a new building. General
Ncirloy engineered a bill through Con
gross authorising the aalcand purchase
ot a now aito. Ibe salo boing mado,
a aite waa bought from Negley on re
commendation of a commission of
Treasury clerks, designated by Assis-
tant Socretary Conant, for $.10,000,
which, according to the best iniorma-
tion obtainable, was worth $5,000 or
$6,000. Then tho First Comptroller
discovered that to apply tbe $20,000
for new building would be unlawful ;
and lion. Xtegley having got his JU,.
000 of sailor' money, the iand remains
unused, nood worth acknowledged
that $50,000 had been spent in tho
service in three years above the re
ceipts. The bills lor $2,100 In aoven
months lor preparing arcporton chol
era Of fourteen pages, besides bis reg
ular pay for sorvicoa rendered aa Bur
geon (Jenoral in tbo same timo, above
relerred to, wore made out and cerli
led corroct by Woodworth himsclf,and
paid on his order' from tbo Marine
Hospital Fund by the Colleotor of
Lustoma ol deorgotown. A lottor au
thorizing this unlawful compensation
waa written beforehand and aigned by
nocrotary jiicharoson.
The bulk of tbe cholora report, a
volume ot abont COO pagan, was fur
nished, pob y Woodworth, but by the
Army surgeon associated with him,
Dr. McClollan. Woodworth made op
his report for 1677 In form to show
that he had made lb hospital service
soil supporting, and did not aoknowl
edge that it waa Dot ao till the Com
mittee bad ascertained that it was not.
At Baltimore tha charges for care and
maintenance of sick eoamon were un
der filly cents a day, but a Mew York
they wore anehrv oenta, and all'hiladol
phianlnoty, which loavea margin for a
nice prout to some one.
BTARTLINQ DEFICITS AT THE MINTS.
At the Ban Franeiaoo Mint there
be Ban Franeisao Mint there
deficiency of $235,000 in the
waa a
Kofinei'a office in 1856 a groat
discrepancy botweon the Treasurer's
and the Coiner's accounts in 1800, and
largo losses in 1870. Tho Superintend
ent was dismissed fin corrupt pruo-
tiees in 1877. Losses woro also dis
covered in 1870 at the Denver Mint
and tho New York Assay Ollleo. The
Now lork accounts wero passed oy
tho Auditors and Comptroller's ollices
of tho Treasury without propor exam
ination ot tho vouchors, wnicn woro
paid by the New York Assistant Treas
urer without we approval oi iuo oiu-
cers who should nuvo received ino
supplies.
1 1) to 1870 tho Director seemed
never to haveoxamined tho Now York
Assay Office, and the Mint regulations
woro bard to find there. Tho report
ot tbe Director ot the Mint for 1877
says (in tables prepared by Martin V.
Davis ot rbiluuuipina) mat me goiu
coinage under Director Jiliuluruian,
1874 7 inclusive, was $luu,000,000, and
greater than that of any previous four
years. This was unlruo. iliocoumgo
of 1874 7 was8iui,ouu,ouii(iu,uuu,uuu
more), and that tor 1851 4 inclusive
was $100,000,000 or $24,000,000 moro.
Tho director also fell into this error of
$10,000,000, and understated by this
sum tho total gold coinage of the
Mints, llo also understated tho gold
coinago 1851-4 by $1,000,000. Ho
stated tho total 1852-8 inclusive at
$233,000,000 ; but his subordinate, Mr.
Davis, stated it in tho samo report, tor
tho Philadelphia and San Francisco
Mints alone, at $2 17,000,000, ovor $13,
000,000 moro. Thus according to offi
cial figures two of tho Mints coined
$13,000,000 more than tho whole five I
TlieSan Francisco M el ter and RoOnor's
returns of bullion above tho amounts
charged as delivored to him, $36,000,
1854-77, is credited to that Mint twice
in the samo report, thus making the
Mint expenses appear J,ib,uuu loss than
tho truth.
Tho Now York Assay Ofllco smollor
and refiner, Mr. Andrew Mason, by
great care and skill saved and turned
into the Treasury in 1876 8 $t,000
moro than the bullion delivered him
for treatment was charged at. Thcso
returns wore supprossod from the Di
rector's reports, being lumpod with
earnings, and Mr. Mason was instruct
ed to return thorn as such, tho motive
announced in tho instructions being to
shield tho Mints from annoying inqui
ries as to why, instead ol return
ing a surplus like Mr. Mason, they
charged tho Government with a waste.
thus Mr. jUason was denied tho credit
he richly doserved, and was in one re
port mado to appear as wasting $9,000,
in or to hide the mismanagement of
others. Tho letter ordering this sup
pression was signed as Acting Director
of the Mint by Robert K. Preston, who
ngurcs unpleasantly cmowhere In con
nection with cotton accounts. In 1870
Congress cut down tho appropriations
OBkod by tbo Directors over $300,000,
but Lindotman contrivod to smuggle
in a proviso allowing tho earnings
li-om separating gold lrom silver, and
from refining both, to be used in melt
ing oxpenses without going into tho
treasury. Ibe result is that, every
year since, the earnings have boon
spont in addition to the sums allowed
by Congress, and $.100,000 yoarly have
been expended without Congress sus
pecting it.
Tho New York Assay Ofllco rocoipts
lrom tho salo ot bluo vitriol and nu I
phuric liquor in 1873 woro stated by
the Director thereat $11,309 91. Four
years latter the nnual report stared
thorn as $2,302.5. Both proved to be
wrong; Ihe amount was el0,.ib0.Wl
Tbe Director's annual reports for
1873-4 6 states the receipts aggrega
ting $2,046,000. The report for 1877
shows the same expenditures to bo
$2,409,000, or ovor $300,000 moro than
was acknowledged at the timo. Tho
expenditures are shown by tho yearly
reports lor 18. J o inclusive at e.i.unz,
000. The report for 1877 shows them
to be $5,635,000, or ovor $570,000
more ; $306,000 of this suppression was
in 1876, the Presidential oioction year.
Of more than half this $572,000 sup
pression there is not the shadow ot an
explanation, lu 18(6 the items of ex
penditure were suppressed from the
annual report.
IRREGULARITIES AT TIIE NEW YORK
ASSAY OFFICE.
In the Spring of 1869, 311,400 bare
of silver and gold bullion, whose value
waa unknown, woro deposited In tho
Now York Assay Office and moneys
loaned thoreonto Balling 4 Harder and
others, by Assistant Treasurer Van
Dyck. Tbia was vory dangerous, tor
gilded bars of load or iron oould thus
be UBed to borrow on without interest
or security. At last ono lot of b xes
said to contain bullion were deposited
and borrowed on in 1869, and taken
away on return of tho loan without
any inspection or test. This practice
was brokon up in 1809 by Uoorgo W.
Kdelman, Deputy Treasurer ot tbo
Assay Ofllco ; but it was revived the
year after Mr. Kdelman resigned by Di
rector liinderman, concerning "British
bars and sovereigns," whoso genuine
nosj had not been tested ; and it con
tinued till tho Glovor investigation
began, when Lindorman stopped it.
From I86UI0 1870 the Now York
Assay Office mado 338 such loans, and
in many cases tho borrowors returned
tho coin and took bars, leaving the
Government to pay for coining tho
bullion deposited to obtain tho bars.
In 1878 the Superintendent of the
San Francisco Mint sent L, Von Jloll-
man & Co. chocks for $1,923,000 under
instructions from Lindeman, when but
$000,000 worth of their silver had bocn
assayed.
Superintendent Acton of tho No
York Assay Office bas boon in the habit
of signing chocks in blank and leaving
thorn thus in tho Paying Clerk's pos
session. Last your eighty-two blank
chocks were found in the ofllco with
Acton's signature. This is a virlicul
desertion ot his duty by Acton, for
ho cannot know his clork's action nor
supervise his paymonts. A rogue in
tho paying clerk's placo, or a thiol'
gotting into tho ofllco, could fill up a
chock for a million, and it might be
collected and tho parlios disappear be
fore detection. If necessary tho clork's
countersignature oould be forged.
Superintendent Dunning, Acton's pred
ecessor, repeatodly got checks. made to
his own order lor sums duo public
creditors. Then ho indorsod tho checks
to tho creditors and turned in thoir
receipts with. tho vouchors aftorward.
After a time he grow slow about turn
ing in the vouchors, and ono day It
waa discovered that ho had collected
$13,000 of those cboeka himself.
Lindorman employed moro than a
score of persona in visiting Mints and
Aasay Olllccs, attending annual settle
ments, and assisting him In doing so,
for which he spent in four years ovor
$11,000. He paid his son, 19 years
old, and not in the publio service, $2,
757 for Iobs than six months' service.
The law does not allow traveling ex
penses to anyone but the Director ; tip
toOvtoher 1, 1 877, he locoivod $1,300

Gassaway, a man ot notorious charac
ter in Washington, rocoivod $1,008.73
for taking an invontory (18 page of
foolscap), of furniture and fixtures at
the San Francisco Mint. At the close
of the Lindorman investigation of that
Mint in 1877, but boforo ths report was
mado, the Superintendent, La Grange,
who was romovod in consequence, ol
that investigation, presented Under
man's wife with $1,000, saying It was
a proscnt from the employes ol the
Mint. Some of the employes, it is said,
complained afterward that thoy woro
compelled to contribute and oould ill
afford it
Wbon Prof. Robert U. Roger ol
Philadelphia, E. O. Leech of tbe Mint
Bureau, Washington, and A, W. Down-
ing, Chief of the Coining Department
'ol the Philadelphia Mint, wore sent to
San Francisco to oxamino and attend
the yoarly settlement of the M int, Ijin
derinan instructed Superintendent Da
(range to pay their traveling expenses
and $10 a day to Rogers from tbe
profits of fractional silver coinago. Bo-
loro tho O lover Committee ho swore
that ho hail never used theso profits
thus, but the record convicted him.
UOW LINIIKRUAN OPKBATM WITH THE
people's money.
LinJcrmnn bought in bis wile's
name, in 1804, 150 shares of the Cali
fornia and 125 shares ot Consolidated
Virginia, tho "Big Bonania" silvor
minos of Nevada, which woro con
trolled by Flood, O'Brien, Mackoy
and Fair. For theso he paid 90 per
cent, or less, about $25,000. Beloro
tho Commiltco he culled theso $25,000
"very moderate moans" of his wile's.
In March, 1875, he bought of the Con
solidated Virginia Dure silvor bullion,
valued by tbe sellers at$I,023,000, and
paid them $1,000,000 on account, with
out wailing for the assay to show
whethor it was correctly valued, or
93.8 per cent, of the value as after
ward osoorlnincd. Tho company got
their money two months boforo com
pletion ot assay, and wero thus ona
bled to mako $15,000 interest. In
Juno, 1875, ho bought of thorn iin
portod silvor bars valued by them at
$1,500,000, and puid them $1,425,000
down ovor two months boforo comple
tion of assay, and enabled them thus
to make $25,000 interest. Tho assay
showed tho bullion worth but $1,437,-
000, $03,000 short of the valuation, so
that ho paid them in advance 98 6 por
cent, ol tbo value, running a great risk
ot overpaying. The bullion was paid
tor at $1 211 per ounce fine metal,
delivered at ban I rancisco. The ex
oross charL'ca were naid bv the Gov
ornmont to Now York from tho profits
on fractional silver coinage, Instead of
being paid by tho sellers, and the
chargos at tho Assay Office woro borne
by tho Government, without authority
of law. Those expenses amounted to
$32,000, which mado tho silver cost tho
(rovornniont $1,264 per flno ounce.
1 ho market valuo was 1.21.3, so that
tho purchase, as well as costing $32,000
more than Lindorman pretended, cost
$13,000 more than it oould have bocn
bought tor elsewhere. Lindorman also
directed Superintendent Acton to pay
$9,000 moro than tho assayed value of
tho gold in tho purchaso, the sullors
claiming that tho assayer had made a
mistake. Acton replied that there
was nb authority to pay it, but at Lin
derman'a direction, after seeking to
throw all tho responsibility on Linder
nian, ho paid, and charged it to "profit
and loss."
Prof. R. 12. Rogers of Philadelphia,
another stockholder in tho Consoli
dated Virginia, the sellers, was employ
ed by Lindorman to mako an "exami
nation, and ot courso reported strong
ly in luvor of making the payment.
William K. Dubois, Assayer at Phila
delphia, protested strongly against
correcting assays at the instance ot
ouUide parties, saying that this de
stroyed the reliability of assays. Tbo
payment was hidden in tho Director s
annual report tor 1877, by calling it a
"wastage," whon no wastage, but $14,-
000 saving, had occurred. 1 ho pay.
ment took place without tlioknowledgo
ot the Now York 1'aying Clerk, and
without authority from the Secretary
of tho Treasury. Tha purchase alto
gether cost about $75,000 more than
was pretended. In the same month
Lindorman ulso took off the Company's
hands nearly $2,000,000 . moro silver
that they were anxious to soil.
A COOL $100,000,000 POCKETED BY LIN-
bERMAN AND II
ASSOCIATES.
January, 1875, tho Bonanr.a stocks,
under tho effect of wild reports about
tho mines, woro vory high in prices.
Consolidated Virginia reached 850.
Lindcrman's $25 000 worth of stock
was worth once $200,000. But it fell
by Octobor to 210, and California, the
other part of tho Bonania, to 250. So
it was bulled again. In the Summer
of that year Lindorman, visited Cali
fornia on official business, sought a
conferenco with tho managers of tho
mines, and arranged an inspection of
them, llo and 1 rot. Rogers then, or
soon alter, a holder ol $20,0110 or more
stock in theso mines, inspoctod them
twico. Rogers made a report valuing
them at $300,000,000, which Lindor
man, saying that other estimates wore,
too high, concurred in and published
in his annual report for 1876. This
was widely circulated, and lumpod
Consolidated Virginia tn 435 and Cali
fornia to 375. The rise carried Lin-
derman's stock up to $120,000 and his
official representations held tbe stock
up to 180 per original share to tho end
of 1876, and to 1 15 till tho end of 1877.
The mines only produced about a sixth
of the amount represented, and the
stock leu in valuo to about a ia,ouo,noo,
according to the Statistician ot tho
United states Monetary Commision
Tho maintonanco of the stock at high
prices enabled tho ownors to sell stock
enough to rcalir.o about $125,000,000,
and tho full caused tbo buyers to lose
about $100,000,000, which tho sellers
pocketed by Linderman's aid. This
spread misfortunoand distress through
out the Pacifio coast.
Oct 19, 1877, the Secretary of the
Treasury signed at Linderman's in-
stanoo an order stopping the ooinago of
trade dollars. Lindermun managed to
lot tho Nevada Bank of Sun Francisco,
owned by tho Consolidated Virginia
party, and tho Anglo-California Bank,
of the suspension tho same day, though
the public did not know it till tho next.
Tho scoond business day after the sua.
pension tho prico of ti-uilo dollars had
risen 4 per cent., and theso banks,
having had notice, had bought up tbo
dollars and compelled traders with
China to buy of thorn at this bighei
price. 1'jX-Gov. Low telegraphed Lin
dorman soon aftor that tho suspension
would drive all tbo silver bullion lu
market to tho Nevada Bank refiners ;
but this had no effect on Lindorman.

O. II. Irish, Chief of tho Bureau of
F,ngraving and Printing, published last
Wnilor a lettor to Atkins, Chairman
of tho Honso Committoo on Appropri
ations, socking todiscredlt Mr. (ilover's
statomont about his Bureau, In this
lettor ho staled that tho Bureau had
completed and delivored to the Comp
trollorof tho Currency 2,390,000 sheoU
ot .National HsnR notes In the fiscal
year 1878 ; but the report of tho
Bureau shows that It delivored 32,000

swore that there could not possibly
bo a mistako in tlio report ; yet exam
ination showed that tho report repre
sented that 310,000 sheets of customs
cigar stamps were delivered moro than
the liuroau claimed to have made!
Tho distinctive papor for printing

FLOODING THE COUNTBY WITH COUNTER
FEITS TO CARRY ELECTIONS.
It is strange that each of the last
throo Presidential elocliona boa boon
followed by a Treasury announcement
that large amounts of "counterfeit
notes were afloat. In 1869 tbe whole
issuo of legal tendera was withdrawn
and replaced, on the ground that they
had been largely and skilfully counter
feited. I n 1873 tho w hole issuo of $500
greenbacks about $35,000,000 was
withdrawn and replaced in the sam
way. In 1877 a counterfeit $1,000
now was announced. One of the old
ost engraven in the country testifies
that whon a note is so like the original
that it cannot easily bo detected as
these and other "counterfeits are aaid
by Treasury officials to be it cannot
really be a countorluit, but must be
gonuine note surreptitiously printed
from genuino plates, or from secret
reproductions of these platos. Other
experts teat i Hod that genuine plate,
after boing secretly mado, can bo
altered with a graver in small details
enough to make it seem counterfeit to
any non-expert.
In 1865 11 link Hall, a noted counter
feiter in Now York, hired two plato
printers named Lankton, to go to
Washington, got employment in the
Printing Bureau, and thero steal copies
of ovary noto plate tho Governmen
was using. Thoy did stoal copies (by
printing on lead sheets instead of papor)
of several notes, and could have stolen
all had not a quarrel sprung up.
Among these copies wero tho backs of
tho $20, $50 and $100 compound inter
est notes, whoso elaborate geometrical
lathe-work engraving was thought a
perfect proloction against fraud, and
was tbo tost among banks ot genuine
ncss. 1 boy also got the faces of some
of tbeso notos. A largo amount ol
thorn, estimatod by soma at $750,000,
was put afloat. 1 ho Government has
redoomed $18,000 7 30 notes which
wore afterward held to be counterfeits,
and Jay Cooke A Co, made to refund
the monoy ; but tho commiltco that
destroyed the plates were by no means
cortain thattbey were counterfeit. The
Hiipennlonuont ol 1'late 1 nntmg In
the Bureau testified so mo yean sinco
that the plates of the 5 20 which the
Hccrot Horvice had captured woro from
the gonuine bod-piocee, which (or tho
roils) must nave been borrowed trona
the Burean to mako thorn.
Tho $500 "counterfeit" greenback of
I87J was Inspocted by experts and
compared with genuine noto for the
Glovor committee, and there expert
ongravera aworo beyond all doubt that
the Dots came from a gonuine plate or
from a surreptitious reproduction of
one, 1 bo liuroau workman wbo trans
forred the plate from the bed piece
agreed with thia.
A SECRET ISSUE OF NINETEEN MILLIONS.
A briof inspection of tho Treasurer's
books revealed tbe laot that $19,00U,
000 of notes were at one time secrotely
afloat loraovoral months, the Treasury
statements being fulse during that timo
to that extent i and the taut f the
secret issue remained nnknown till
lighted on by the Glover committee
Tbe books were falsified, and a balanoo
forced to conceal this see ret issue, by
untruly elating that $19,000,000 had
boon depositod aa temporary loan, whon
no aucb deposit took plane.
From 1867 to 1813, while ths amount
of greenbacks authorized by law waa
f jao.ooo.ooo, the Treasurer a booka re
vealed the fact that repeatedly the
amount afloat was $2,000,000 abovo tho
authorised amount in the middle of the
month, enough being tnrned ever for
deatruction on the last day of the
month to bring the total down to 3u0,
000,000, and in other montha theolreu-
lation was cut down aa much aa $12,
000,000 below lb publiahod figures la
the middle of the month, enough being
taken from the nnissned notes on band
on tha last day to. make np tht sum to
tbe lawlal figure on statement day.
General Spinner swore that the pub
lio debt statement did not agree with
is books ; that he did not npprovo
them ; that his name was put to them
without his authority; that he waa 'lot
allowed to publish truthful statomonts ;
that balances woro lorcod in tbeso
statements, and that he finally got the
uw changed so aa to relieve Dim oi tue
uty ho was not aliowea to pononn.
In nearly tbewbolo fiscal year 1866,
the Treasurer's books ahow that the
amount of compound interest notes out
standing was lrom a,uuu,uu to tin,
000,000 moro than tho published debt
statemonta showed. Ono month it was
$26,000,000 less. Throe different state
ments of the sum outstanding June ju,
1805, wore published, ditlonng by min
ions, and none of the throe was true.
Secretary MoCulloch publicly ac
knowledged some years sinco that on
one occasion ho caused $4,000,000 with
drawn irroonbacks, that bad bean paid
off and woro to be destroyed, to be
counted and published in tbe debt
statement as "cash on band I"
The first man who was entrusted
with the destruction ol withdrawn
nyles, Charles H. Cornwell, Chief ol
tho Redemption Division al tbe Treas
urer's offico, was caught stealing tbe
notes and reissuing them. Tbe amount
thus reissued is not known, but it is
estimated by good judges at ovor $100,-
000. The second Cbiel, frank Jones.
was detected in making a false certifi
cate ot destruction ol $10,000 worth,
and General Spinner, Secretaries Bout-
well and Bristow, and others, persist
ently refused to invostigate the matter,
though aboulS800,U00,000 ol notos nau
passed through Jones' hands in period
shapo, much of it nover even having
boon issued. The checks and precau
tions against theft in destruction are
found to have boen grossly neglected
and disregarded in many respects.
Genoral Spinner swore that "they havo
a rule that notbmg must bo uivuigea
that takes place in tho 1 reasury.
BWEEPINO CHANGES DEMANDED.
Tbo rcnort concludes by stating that
many of these and other matters need
much more investigation ; mat by no
other method can the people learn tbe
truth about tbe Government or con.
gross got the information necessary to
loirislation : that the Treasury is full
of opportunities for wrong that havo
doubtless been largely used; that that
as well as other Departments ia run oy
a ring ; that the Government bas far
too much to do to do it honestly or
woll, and that only by wholesale cut
ting down of Government power and
a wide abolition of Govornmont func
tions and offices can despotism and
National ruin be escaped
