REUCS.
Popular faith in the authenticity of ■the relics
•f Gen. George Washington received a severe
shock when a cunning forger, on Thursday, de
clared that the alleged autograph letters of the.
Father of his Country, preserved in Indepen
dence Hall, are clever frauds, the handi work of
the confessing criminal. If these documents,
endorsed and placed in that sacred room by
sagacious antiquaries, are proved to be false,
and all the wondering curiosity with which
they have been examined is shown ■ to. have
been wasted, in what can we place confidence ?
We receive this forger’s explanation with such
sorrowful indignation as might have been ex-
perienced by devout Neapolitans when they
a learned that St. Gennaro’s bottled blood
’ is merely soft soap and logwood;
er with that regretful disappointmeut which
\ was felt by the man who, having cherished
! fcr years what he thought was the skull of St.
i Peter when he was a child, one morning was
i undeceived by some practical person who
J f showed him the impossibility of such a thing,
f We begin now to doubt the genuine character
' "iff*! - all the revolutionary .relics in and out of In
*• dependence Hall. Who can prove that Wash
ijC ingtori ever sat in that fragment of a pew?
X The pattern of his trousers is not indelibly im
' pressed upon the varnish; and in removing it
from the church the ruthless sexton may have
made a mistake and got hold of the slip in.
which some plebeian Christian slept on Sundays.
Indeed, we do not know that this ever was a
pew at at all. It may he a white pine false
hood—a lie embodied in boards and red
paint. That dinner plate too, upon which the
illustrious chieftain carved his beef, and mingled
the snowy potato with the essential gravy, who
can tell whether its stony floor really grated
beneath the General’s incisive knife, or whether
its cerulean edge, beautifid with Celestial
scenery, eversustainedhisbuttei-pat, or whether
the plate itself was ever uplifted in those giant
lingers with a demand for “more”? It may be
but the pie-plate of-a-degraded baker, ora
scullion’s vessel devoted' to feeding some unlie
roic cat. Shall we place greater faitlf in the
■ portraits of this man? We have daily proofs
•f the unreliability of such things. We see
bow the papers keep on.hand a single gloomy
wood cut, and whenever, a great. man
dies or is . elected or Js hung, • plunge
it into the forms and call it Probst,
•r Andrew Johnson, or Heenan, or Prince
Arthur, or Franklin Pierce, or Byron at nine
teen, or Anna Dickinson, until the subscribers
know every line in that old wood cut by heart,
and wonder in their souls how it happens that
so many differeht people have such a strong
family likeness. Why may not the popular
idea of Washington have sprung from some
such practice as this? or why may not some
artist have drawn a fancy sketch and called it
Washington, and passed it on to posterity as
• genuine ? We expect now to have a discovery
. i made of a written confession by Stuart that he
npver saw the Father of his Country, but
:. painted' his portrait from his ideal. Who
1 shall swear to the, breeches in the Patent
k Office, and prove that they were not worn
' by some impecunious private soldier in the
army, and by him hypothecated
for a consideration in beer; or what guarantee
: have we that the green-hilted sword, alleged to
be Washington’s, did not dangle by the side of '
T some quartermaster, and serve as a divider of
pork and-a sheer up of brown bread? We are
beginning to doubt the genuineness of all
these things, and we want some fresh proof of
their asserted character before we will admire,
and venerate, and become enthusiastic over
them. We doubt the very bell itself, for we
know its history to have been clouded with
> fable by, at least one man who professes to be a
~■ .historian; we question the cannon balls, we sus
peebthat original copy of the Declaration ofln
dependence; we think it likely thatthe fragment
«f Charter Oak may be a mere back log from a
Jlcw-Jersey wood-pile; we regard Roger Sher
.-man’s letters with incrediility, \ye have only
f partial coafidence in John Hancock’s chair ;
,r <’ we are even-weak of faith about the Hall itself,
; 'when we fiul that whole generations oi
patriotic people can be imposed upon by a

\ script scrawled out Mr him in a garret, in the

sue Sony this wretched vilnin turned up. We \

Till: COBNET qI'ESTIOX.
Tbe English journals are indulging in one
of their periodical battles over the Corset
Question. At moderate intervals,the pros and
cons of tight lacing are hotly discussed by our
British brothers and sistere with very great
fervor and very little common sense. We
gave,on Thursday, copious extracts from some
of the last wise dissertations upon this vexed
subject, from which it appears that John Bull
has fairly invaded the prerogative of his
women, and that corsets have been legitimized
among the articles of male attire'in the
dominions. .•
John Bull in corsets presents
ludicrous spectacle to the world; The burly
beef-eater, struggling with corpulence, and
lacing up his brawnymuscles in a stout leather
corset, not at ,all for look’s sake, —oh, not at
all!—hut,/ just for the comfort of the
thing,and the improvement of the digestion, is
,aif anomaly which upsets every received notion
of British character. Banting has evidently
failed to bring Mr. Bull down to the graceful
proportions of liis Gallic neighbor, and John,
with his instinctive love of brute force, turns
upon himself with stont cord and leather and
steel, and straps himself up within an inch of
his life, and then growls out a hoarse invita
tion to his brother Bulls to come and see how
he is enjoying himself. John finds it comfort-,
able to sleep in Iris leather corsets, which he
wears next to his natural, hide, and he
heightens the enjoyment by putting an extra
trim, on-them before breakfast. One point only
he concedes. He is forced to a partial surrender
at plum-pudding time, and confesses that it
is best to slacken up a little before attacking
his dinner. He is that liis digestion has
been improved under the stay law, and a side
long glance at liis mirror forces him to .admit
that his figure is improved. His great point,
the reduction of his “too, too solid flesh,” he
considers as triumphantly earned. He forgets
to tell us where the umvieldly corpulence goes
to when it is squeezed away from the resistless
pressure of his corsets, but the probability is
that a considerable portion of it flies to his
head.
It may not be important for ns, lean .Yan
kees that we are, keeping ourselves down with
active thought and labor, giving ourselves no
time to “laugh and growfat,” to be very anxious
over tbe Male Corset Question. If we have
no time to grow fat,we have made time enough
to study the laws of physiology and hygiene
to better purpose than did our immediate an
cestors, and one of the, important results al
ready reached is the general abatement of the
Tight Lacing Nuisance among American
women. Our women,—of course, with many
silly exceptions,—wear corsets now, not for the
sake of an ugly and unnatural compression of
their waists, but only for the aid and comfort
which they afford, when properly worn, in
supporting the figure, and some portions of the
dress. The waspish waists so common to the
last generation are comparatively rare now.
Better acquaintance with the ancient models
of art, ahd with the principles of modern
science, has convinced the women of America
that it is neither graceful nor rational to dis
tort the human frame with the odious usage of
immoderate lacing.
But if any American woman is unconvinced
on the Great Corset Question, surely the pic
ture of the modem John Bull, drawn by him
self ought to go far to convert her. She can
not possibly consent to be partaker in a prac
tice made coarse and gross and masculine by
its adoption by the elderly male Briton. John,
puffing and blowing as be takes -ah extra haul,
on his “stout whip cord,” and-straps himself
tighter into his straight jacket of stiff leather,
in which he eats, drinks, and sleeps, ought to
shock and disgust the delicate sensibilities of
our fastidious young women, as they reflect
that he and they are partners in a common
outrage upon nature’s simplest laws.
John Bull urges that because the corset lias
survived the repeated crusades of satire aud
science against it, it must be based upon the
veiy foundations of all wisdom and truth. The
argument is not worth answering. Like many,
another human contrivance, tbe corset has its
use mid its abuse. That it has helped to fill
many a church-yard; disfigured many a form
that nature had shaped with exquisite.grace,;
and contributed largely to burden society with
a race of puny, sickly men and women, is
enough to settle the question, so far as the past
abuses of light-lacing are concerned, John
Bull in corsets ought to settle it, as a matter of
elegance and fashion, forever..
Our neighbor, the Evening Telegraph, ,'m
some well-deserved strictures upon some of the,
, criminal practice of Abe Court of Quarter Ses
sions, has unwittingly done injustice to Judge
Paxson, in censuring him for not calling Mi - .
Sellers to account for his profanity. Upon in
quiry, we have ascertained that the choice re
marks of Mr. Sellers were made sotto voce, and
did not reach the bench at all, though quite
audible at tbe reporters’ table. .Judge Paxson
cannot of course be held responsible for con
duct which did not come under his notice.
In reference to Corlies’ disappearance from
Court, it must be borne in mind that he was
under bail anil could not be restrained of bis
liberty at that time. As we suggested, yester
day, there ought to be some little supervision
of the movements of a man of this sort, when
he is seen leaving the Court just before "the
rendering of a criminal verdict, but it is most
unfair to deduce-anything unfavorable to
Judge , Paxspn’s • fitness for his position,
from iuclr premises. To suppose that Judge
Pax son, on the second day of his; taking his
seat, after practising all his life in the civil
courts, should foresee and prevent the disap
pearance, not of a prisoner from the dock, hut
of a bailee sitting in open court, Is supposing
rather too much. Corlies is well-known to
many of the officers of the Court, and if any
blame attaches to the case, it only extends so
far as applies to the duty of some officer to
have kept his eye on him at that particular
juncture. ; •

THE DAILY EVENING SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1869.
'account of a bqatrVaeo: on the Thames; a
statement of young Bonnet’s yachting inten
tions, and relations of the facts that Victor
Emmanuel is sick, and that the French Court
went hunting yesterday. None of .those
things possess the slightest value; and most of
them are entirely uninteresting to the Ameri
can public. We knew beforehand exactly
what the London press would say about Mr.
Peabody, and if its exact language had been
desired we could have waited cheerfully for the
arrival.of the mails. Mr. Bennet’s movements
interest a small clique of sporting men in Hew;
York; and the boating accounts will neither be
understood nor enjoyed outside of still smaller
circle. And yet the newspapers of the country
are compelled to pay a higher price for such'ifi
formation and foy the news that yietbr. Em
manuel is unwell, perhaps with a simple
stomach pain, and that a parcel of bloated aris
tocrats in Faris went out gunning. The Ame
rican papers will-iiever get anything like an
intelligent(lail/summaryof European news,
until ttrisrepresented on the other side by com
petent Americans who have no taste for horse
facing, sculling matches, cock-fights and pugi
listic encounters, and with no reverence for
colicky kings and sporting courtiers.
The boldest and most insolent of all the
French editors ever warned, suppressed, im
prisoned or exiled by Ik»uis NapOleonj has just
been allowed to return to France. Henri
Rochefort, editor of the Lantern#, .'who has
been sojourning in Brussels: for many
months, started for Paris on Thursday. He
was arrested at the French frontier; but, by
owler of the Emperor, was released and al
lowed to continue his journey, and he is now,
doubtless, in the French capital.. It is not
easy to understand this extraordinary clem
ency to the man who has shown a more ma
levolent.. feeling towards Napoleon and
his rule than any writer in Fiance
since Victor Hugo _ was driven into
exile. There must haye been some
correspondence in which mutual pledges were
given: on the part of Rochefort that he would
change his tone in his Lanterne or other publi
cations;’and. on the part Of the Government
that he should not be molested. : But the
mere arrival of one sp notorious and so popu
lar among tbe dangerous classes of French
men, is calculated tb create an excitement in
, Paris, which appears to be already sufficiently
excited by new reports of tlie Emperor’s ill
ness, and of fresh- interference of the police
with electoral meetings. An explanation of
Kochefort’s return, and an account of its re
salts, are looked for With curiosity.
- The City of London, as that part of the me
tropolis lying east of Temple Bar is called, is
all excitement to-day. Queen Victoria, after
long seclusion from public ceremonials, bas
consented to open—or as we say, to inaugurate
—two great public works of the City Corpora
tion. These are tbe new bridge at' Blackfriars
and tbe Ilolbom viaduct. The day is observed
' as a general holiday, and there is no doubt real
joy among the Londoners that their good
Queen has consented to give up her seclusion
and to show herself to her subjects, instead of
being represented by her scapegrace of a son,
tbe Prince of Wales. .
Two notable men have just died in London:
the richest Englishman and the richest Ameri
can—the Marquis of Westminster and George
Peabody. The nobleman, who traced his
lineage to the time of William the Conqueror,
~was known as the stingiest man in Great
Britain. • The American of humble birth was
known as the most liberal man in the World.
The funeral of the titled noble was a pompous
hut heartless show. That _ of the generous
American will be, one at which the poor as
well as the rich of ■ England will be mourners.

RIOT IN A CHURCH.
Washington, Nov. ti.—About 11 o’clock

tion were badly beaten and nearly killed. A

From Albany.
Albany, Nov. (s —Governor Hoffman, last
night, in the course of a speech in response to
a serenade by the Jacksomans, said: t‘l no
tice that most of the Radical papers in Al
bany and New York are asking ‘What will
they do witbit?’—that is.with the victory. lam
hardly disposed to’tell them quite yet. I prefer
to give them a little time to digest the re
turns, and when tbeso are fully digested, wo
propose to give them some information as
to what we will do with it. ‘ In my observations
J have found that knowledge suddenly
acquired is never very profitable, but I will
tell them in general terms one or two things
we propose to do. We proposo to make the
Legislatiiro of the State of New York honest,
and that is what they have not done in sOmo
time. We propose to use the Legislature for
the purpose of promoting the interest of the
mass of the people, and not the interest of
the few, which the Radicals have not done in
a long time.
"The Evening Journal has stated that for many
vears there have been few men in the Repub
lican Legislatures who could be bought. We
will show them that in the Democratic Legis
lature there will be none of that kind. We
propose to give to the people of the State of
N. York, allover, tnenghtof self-government.
We propose to abolish such laws as infringe
upon the rights of localities, and secure to
them the rigntto govern themselves. We will
not abolish such laws and give the people
sometMng worse, but will give them better
laws. We propose to make tne State of Now
York, and the Government in all its branches,
thoroughly Democratic.
“lam aware of the responsibilities {this vic
tory imposes. lam aware of the responsibili
ties it imposes on me as the Executive of this
State. 1 realize their magnitude, and I will
not say I have no fear ofthem, but by tho
help of the people and their representatives,
and all the good counsels I can get, I hope to
so discharge its duties that the people
will approve of my action. I be
lieve that the Legislature wMch is
about to assemble and . legislate upon
the affairs of tMs great State,-will act with
such wisdom and discretion as to show
to the people of the State and country that the
Democracy of this State can be as moderatein
the hour of victory .as tbey have been patient
in the hour of defeat. We will be discreet and
tolerant. We will ' recognize thonest men
among our adversaries, and we will deal
justly and honorably, and promote the great
interests of the people of the State of New
York, who have demanded and worked the
change.”

Important Reports from Washington—
Specie Payments to he Resumed.
The Washington correspondent ©f the New York
World contains the following:
SPECIE PAYMENT Olf JANUARY 1.
Quite a commotion has been created here over a report
cornice from apparently authentic sonrccs, that Secre
tary Bontwclf Is maturing a eclnihie for the return to
specie payments by the first of Jaunary uext. fbo pre
cise nivtle which he will adopt to bring about that result
Is not clear. No person appears to kuow whether it will
be by retiriug three per cents, or some other mode.
The fact being apparent that the Supreme Court will
before many months decide that the Legal-tender act is
unconstitutional, the Government is anxious to antici
pate the results, by securing the return to specie payment
before the decision is given to the public.
. It h> already known that E. <J. Spaulding, of Buffalo,
who is the reputed author of the legal-tender net, has
already publidly declared tluit the Legal Tender act was
only intended to apply during the war, enacted to aid the
government in an emergency, and that it is clearly un
constitutional in time ot peace. In short, that the only
power which Congress had to pass such a law was under
the assumed war powers of the Constitution. This
opinion, coming from the framer of that law, must, of
necessity, have its effect upon the Snpreme Coart, if, in
fact, it does not foreshadow'the decision of that court.
This adds to the Interest which is taken in the reported
movements of Secretary Boutwell.
THE DECISION TO BK ANTICIPATED.
It is privately given out bv those who have an insight
to matters in the Treasury Department, that the Secre
tary of the Treasury is determined to anticipate this de
cision, and thus otiviato any adverse results to the busi
ness interests of the country which might result from
sucli'a decision. It is likewise stated that Hr. Boutwell
•believes that the time is near at hand, when specie pay
ments can be resumed without any serious embarrass
ment to the country. The reasons given for
his belief iu this respect are that tho banks
of your city .have now a larger surplus ot gold
than at any other time for some years, und that this sur
plus is likely to be double the present sum by the first of
January. Gold is now a drug on their hands, which, by
a return to spccio payments,can be used as currency,and
in the regular and legitimate dealings erf the country, in
stead of for speculative purposes. Again, the largecot
ton crop will increase our exports beyond the figures
which they have reached since the commencement of the
war, and thus turn the balance of trade in our favor,uot
only stopping the export of gold, but cansing a shipment
of the precious metals to this country from abroad.
The destruction produced by the war in the South left ■
that section in a destitute condition, but last year s crop
of cotton-vras sufficient (• get the Southern people out
of debt, which, with their rigid system of ecouomy* finds
them in a position that the, present crop is noarly all
profits. The receipts from this year’s crop will add
so much direct wealth to the country. Inasmuch as the
greater portion of this year's cotton crop will bo ab
sorbed abroud, it will jn return bring to this country
an amount.of gold in excess of unythine which has
taken place since IMD or lSfiO. This adda to
ihe fouElblllty of the.scheme which,it is said, Mr. Bout?
well contemplates declaring, in favor of specie pay
ments. He has on hand in'the Treasury Department
about ono hundred millions of dollars in gold. noVr, iu
addition to that which is held by the hanks and will be
brought to this country in return lbrjcotton.
One thing is certain—tho opinion 4b quite prevalent
here that tne return to specie payments by Now Year’s
Day is in every particular feasible. The current gossip
at the same time is that the Secretary of the Treasury
intends to take advantage of the circumstances and
give the country tho benefit of a specie circulation.
. PRESSURE FOR A REDUCTION OF AMOUNT OF GOLD IN THE
TREASURY. *,
Therp is a strong pressure being, brought to bear on
Mr. Boutwell, to inauco him to reduce tho amount of
gold in the government vaults to thirty millious, iu
i order that the question may bo settled whether any
further contraction of the currency is necessary to oquu
lizo tho value of greenbacks and gold, as nstep towards
specie payments. Those who urge this course argue that
the sale of seventy millions of gold on the market would
tiring tho value of gold nenror to the proper valuoin re
lation to greenbacks; and in this way tlio question could
bo determined whether a further contraction of the cur
rency would be essential before wpocio payments could
be resumed.
Alltheso rumors and gossip, pressure and figuring
clearly indicate that wo aro on the evo of extraordinary
financial operations on the part of' tho government.
Taken with the prospect of an early decision by the Su
preme Court on the Legnl Tender net, tho public need

\ From tho New Yort|llorald of to-day.]
Friday, Nov. 6.—There was considerable animation
in the Gold Room to-day, and a fluctuation of oyerono
percents in tho price of gold, the tendency boimr upward
in consequence of tho adhesion of Secretary Bontwoll
to tho policy of selling only the amount i advertised
to bo sold—a variation irom his conduct of yes
terday which is interpreted to mean a cessation of any
purchases or sales bovond the amounts particularly
specified in the official programme. In the morn*
• ing. through an apprehension that more than a million
might be sold at the Bub-Treasury to day, tho price
dropped to 124%, but when, later, only a million was
awarded, the holders took fresh courage and tho price
ran up to 127 the taking of tho whole amount in one
lot at 126.76 inspiring an impression that a bull move
ment was Intended,whereas there is reason for the.
.belief that the purchase was made to covor speculative
sales. Again,the return of buoyancy was aided by tho
report that the receivership of the Gold Bank would
shortly bo recalled—a step initiatory, ps some
think,to the resumption of Clearing House opera
tions and unlimited speculation in the gold board. The
importing merchants also quite freely for to
morrow’s steamer. It is hardly too Into for tho remark
that this is the first time in many yean, at least since
1862, that the November elections have failed to havo an
influence, large or small, upon the course of gold. .The
day passed as would any other, and Wall street vras
hardly conscious that an election was going on. In the
loan market the rates ranged from sto 2 per cent, for
cariYiog, with a few late transactions at flat for bor
rowing.
The supply of money on call was more abundaut, and
the prevailing rates were six per cent, on stocks and five
per cent, on-governments, with very few exceptions at
seven on the former and many at four on the latter. Tho
Treasury operations of the week, owing to the excess of
bond purchases over gold sales, odd about ,two million
dollars of currency to the capital of the street,
the receipt of which by banks more than off
sets the r shipments out of town the
Western pork-packing interest making fresh
demands. The demand for crop movement is still light.
The increase of currency in local circulation at this sea
son by the Treasury goes far to excuse Whatever irregu
larity there was yesterday in tho extra purchases of
bonds. If Hr. Boutwell will makp it public that be will
so conduct the Treasury movements as to keep th«
money market easy throughout the fall he will win the
earnest friendship of every merchant in
New Yorki Let the Sbylocks who aro
lending their money on call from day to
day at five to-seven per cent, once learn that monoylwHl
not be stringent this fall and they will withdraw their
funds and embark ip the more legitimate business of dis*
counts—an example which will he also initiated by the.
banks more largely than is now their custom. Thus the
merchants, instead of being compelled to stand “shaved
often to twenty per cent, on their paper,>ould£bo able to
negotiate itat fair rates. Foreign exchange was weak at
tho Opening, with rates the same as last quoted. In the
there was an improvement in tho tone of the
market, and quotations became firm, but did uot ad
vance. The primo bankers asked for sixty days
and 10 0% forsight sterllne bills. Tho government mar
ket continued to fee! the effects of the extra purchases
of Thursday and remained firm throughout the boards.
The easy stote of the money market ami the upward ten
dency of gold rendered tho market firm in final street
quotations, when prices advanced an eighth to aquarter
per cent, on the best figures of the preceding day.

ARRIVAL OF HER COMMANDER
- The Sew York Appraloenblp.
f Bpocial Despatch to the Phil*. Evenlnff Bulletin 1
Washington. Nov. 6.— Tho resignation of
Mr. McElrath, Appraiser of Merchandise at
the port of New York, was accepted to-day by
Secretary Boutwell, to take effect on the 30th
of November, and General Palmer, Assistant
Appraiser, has been appointed Appraiser, to
succeed him,
From WaAblnffton.
Washington, Nov.6.—Commodore Higgins
and Surgeon McNulty arrived here to-day
from Wilmington', N. C., on tlieir way to New
York. The former isin full naval and the
latter in half-dress costume. The Surgeon
contradicts a statement which has been pub
lished, to the detriment of Commodore Hig
gins,
The facts arc that before leaving Montank
Point the Commodore was severely wounded
in one of his eyeß by the parting of a hawser,
and when he reached Wilmington he was suf
fering severely from the effects of the acci
dent. The surgeon suggested that the Com
modore’s wife be sent tor to attend him. He
consenting, she was telegraphed to come to
Wilmington. Instead of the lady being in
Wilmington when the vessel was seized, she
did not arrive there until six days afterwards,
in obedience to the telegram.
The probability is that the Cuba will be
bonded; at least, the owners of the vessel were
at last accounts engaged in proceedings with
that end in view. Wilmington papers of yes
terday just received hero speak in highly
favorable terms of the manner in which the
officers and crew of the Cuba conducted them
selves during the judicial proceedings in their
case, and state that two of those held to bail
have already left that city, and the others un
der bonds will soon follow also for Now York.
Late last night as services were being held in
the colored church mission, where a revival
is in progress, a' disturbance arose among a
number of the persons attending them. Offi
cer Lawler, of the Seventh Precinct, ordered
the rioters to disperse. He was resisted, how
ever, and Officer Brown, of the same precinct,'
came to his assistance.
As the two officers were attempting to ar
rest some of the most notorious of the ruffians,
they were suddenly set upon by a gang of
men, their weapons taken away,and they, were
fearfully beaten. -Some held the officers while
others beat them with clubs and stones; others
again, inflicting severe gashes with knives or
razors. Officer Brown’s head was cut in seve
ral places, his jaw broken, and the injuries on
other portions of the body are so severe that
his recovery is doubtful.
Officer Lawler’s injuries are very severe.
As soon as the tidings of the riot reached the
police station the whole force of the precinct
was ordered out, bnt on arriving at the
church, the rioters had dispersed. Four of
the riotors were arrested, and six or eight
more are known to the police.
The following general order has been issued
from the headquarters of the array: Hereaf
ter no squatter or citizen will be permitted to
enter or reside upon a military reservation
unless he be in the employment of the Gov
ernment, or permitted by the department
commander, In which case his residence
thereon must cease upon his being discharged
or the permission withdrawn. Department
commanders will exercise a general supervi
sion of all military reservations within
the limits of their commands, and will use
force to remove squatters and trespassers
when, in their judgment, it becomes neces
sary. .Where parties are already in posses
sion, with valuable improvements, the de
partment commander will cause an investiga
tion to be made, and submit each case sep
arately for the decision and orders of the Sec
retary of War.
Supervisor Fulton, of Pennsylvania, has
secured the arrest of F. G. Pompeji for selling
tobacco with counterfeit stamps.
The Supervisor has also ordered the seizure
of the wholesale liquor establishment of
Henry Killian for a violation of the law.
Over two hundred barrels of raw spirits are
among the articles seized.
$2.50 were received this morning by Com
missioner Delano from a party in Philadel

not he -widely published until to-day. His
death is universally regretted. Flags are fly

other evidences of public grief attest the uni
versal sorrow.
The Daily .Yews, this morning,in an obituary
article, says Mr. Peabody was not a man of
impulsive,emotional benevolence, but of judi
cious, wide-spread benevolence. His liberal
ity was not posthumous. He gave from his
own substance. He did .not surrender what
Heath wrested from him. His services both
to his native and adopted country have been
fittingly and generously Tecognized in Royal
letters and the thanks of Congress,
The merchants in passing his statue daily do
not need to learn from the consummate man
of business how to gain money. His career
may teach them how it may be wisely spent.

CITY BULLETIN.
, More Swindling. —The bogus autograph
dealer,, known as Emerson, Hawley, Hamp
ton, &c., was before Recorder .Givin this
morning on the charge of “fraudulently mak
ing and uttering wntten instruments, to the
prejudice of the rights of other people.” He
was arrested by Detective Officer J. Henry
Stephens, on complaint of Special Agent
Petherbridge, of the Post Office Department.
It seems that a letter directed to the
care of Dr. Hawley had been intercepted by
the Post-Office Department and was ‘ turned
over to Mr. Petherbridge. This letter was in
response to one which mid been -written by the
defendant. According to his own statement,he
looked over' the London Times and thus ob
served the name of a person who had died. To
this person he wrote, commencing his note:
“Jly dear benefactor.” The letter purported
to be from a young man who had got into
Srison at Elkton,Ma7,on a charge of which he
c-clares he is not guilty, returned thanks
to his benefactor for past remittances, which
had been exhausted in consequence of sick
ness, and declared that Dr. Hawiey, who was
his attending physician in the hospital at the
prison, had taken a great interest in him, and
was working to get him a pardon, paying the
expenses and trusting to the generosity of his
friends in England for remuneration. This
letter, which was signed “E.,” was inclosed in
a note signed Dr. Hawley, speaking in the
highest terms of his patient and declaring
that he must surely be connected
with some well-known families in England.
The response to these letters was what fell
into the hands of Mr. Petherbridge. It was
from the executors of J tbe man who had been
written, to and contained a draft for .£ on
the Bank of Ireland. After the hearing the
defendant was committed for trial. .

should, however, have shot the insult
ing rebel down on the spot, and meted
out to the murderer of Union men
arid the stripper of Union women his just de
serts. The following two exploits of the
cbivalric Mosby, not generally known, may
serve your readers in forming an idea of the
character of the man. In October? 1864, an
express train between Harper’s Ferry and
Martinshurg was attacked by Mosby and his
command, and Mrs. C. W. Tolies, wife of Col.
Tolies, Chief Quartermaster on Gen. Sheri
dan’s stafl', her child and sister, and the other
passengers, were turned out - destitute
and unprotected, the train being robbed
and burned. At the same time
Colonel ,Tolies hinjself, while on his
way with,two orderlies to Cedar Creek,where
his command lay, was shot by the same out
law, and died in Winchester, in the presence
of his heart-broken and destitute wife, who had
been stripped of all by the villain Meshy.
This outlawalso hanged five stragglers at Ber
ry ville, to my knowledge. .1 acknowledge
that he is a daring man, out, as an unrecon
structed rebel and a murderous outlaw, he
deserves no sympathy. I remain, inclosing
my card, yours respectfully,
P. S.—Mosby. wants Northern men with
capital to go South. No doubt to give him a
chance to steal the capital, and have the set
tler bushwacked if he complains.
