From The L'rie Dispatch,
Thuriow Weed's Disclosure of William
Morgan's Fate.
The New i'ork Herald, of Monday
and Tuesday, publishes two remarkable
Ictteis from that remarkable man and
veteran journalist, Thuriow Weed in
relcronce to the mysterious disappear
ance of William Morgan nearly fifty
years ago. As these letters are too
long to reproduce, in the Dispatch, we
herewith give an abstract of their con
tents. It will be remembered, we may say
by way of preface, that one of the is
sues in the State politics of New York,
fifty years ago, was Masonary vs. Anti
Masonary, and it is safe to say that the
campaigns into which that question en
tered were conducted with a degree of
partisan bitterness and personal fierce
ness never before or since surpassed.
In 1826, it became generally kuown
that William Morgan, of Rochester
who had left the Masons, was preparing
a book whose object was to disclose all
the secrot proceedings of Masonry.
Finding no publisher in Hochestcr,
Morgan removed to Batava, N. Y., and
made arrangements for the publcation of
his book with one Daniel C. Miller.
Naturally enough, the announcement of
ouch a work created much excitement.
But this excitement became intense
when, one night during the latter part
of September, before the work was pub
lished, Morgan abruptly disappeared,
and has never been seen nor heard ol
isince. The Masons were at once ac
cused of putting him out of the way,
and their constant reply was that they
had no "adequate causa" for the mur
der of Morgan, since all the secrets he
could expose would do them no harm.
To add to tho excitement produced
by Morgan's disappearance, about one
year after that event, or in October,
1827, a body drifted ashore near a
email creek which emptied iuto Lake
Ontario. From the published report of
the Coroner's inquest, some intimate
friends of Morgau's coucluJed it was
his body. The investigating committee
decided to hold another inquest, and
sixty or seventy people assembled to
witness the proceedings. When the
grave was opsned, certain marks were
found upon the body which agreed pre
cisely with marks previously mentioned
by Mrs Morgan. Tli6 jurors unani
mously declared that it was the body of
William Morgan. It was, therefore,
given over to Mrs. Morgan, and buried
in Batavia.
But about ten days after, thero came
a report that the body was that of Tim
othy Monroe, of Canada, who had been
swept over Niagara Falls in a boat
eleven days before the body washed
ashore. A third inquest was held, and
it was discovered that Mrs. Monroe had
described with so much miuuteness the
suit of clothes found upon the dead
body, without having a chance to see
them, that there was no doubt in that
respect. But strange to say, the body
fouud in the clothes did not correspond
to the description of her husband at all
There were other serious difficulties, too,
on both sides. It was quite improbable
that Morgan's body would have re
mained in such a tolerable state of pre
servation for a year. It was equally
improbablo that Monroe's body would
have drifted forty miles eastward in the
iakc, witu no current, ana against a
prevailing wind from the east Mr.
Weed says, although the other mem
bers of the committee firmly believed
the body to bo that of Morgan his
own previous convictions were strong
ly disturbed, and after an interval of
nearly filty years he is unable to say
whether the body was or was not that
of William Morgan. And so the disap
pearanee or iuoigan nas remained a
profound mystery until the publication
of these two letters from M.r Weed.
Now for the other facts, as detailed
by him. After the seizure of Morgan's
manuscripts, at Batava, he himself wa3
arrested on a pretended charge of lar
ceny and coutined in the jail at Canan
daigua' Then asaurrenccs wcro received
from a Canadian that Captain Brandt.
an Indian chief, would provide a home
for Morgan, in a We3t fur company
Accordingly, he was taken from jail by
night, and secretly conveyed to Fort
Niagara, distance 120 miles, and con
fined in the magazine of the tort. TLeu
those who brought him there crossed
over the river to oonver with the Canad
ian lodge by which it was expected that
Morgan would be received. But, at
last, this lodge posit itively refused to
have anything to do with the matter.
Here was an embarrassing; state of af
fairs. But fortb-with a large number
of men, high in the Order, assembled at
J jew is ton and organized a Knights
Templar Encampment. All knew that
Morgan was confined ia the fort, and
all were troubled to know what to do
with him' But after supper, during
the enthusiasm caused by the speeches
and wine, Colonel William King of
Lock port, invited four men to accom
pany him; Cbubbuck, a farmer li Lewis
ton; Whitney; a stone mason of Roches
ter; Garside, a butcher from Canada;
and Howard, a book-binder of Buffalo.
They proceeded to the fort, and after
inlormiog Morgan that they had com
pleted arrangements for placing him
upon a farm in Canada, he readily got
into a boat with them, it being now mid
night. Proceeding down Niagara River
to the point where it empties into Lake
Ontario, they wound a rope about Mor
gan's body, tied a heavy sinker to each
end and threw him overboard.
Such ia the thrilKna story narrated
by Mr Weed. He says he obtained
ail the particulars from one of the
party of five, Mr. John Whitney, of
Rochester, with whom he was well ac
quainted, and that Mr. Whitney's state
ment was made to him in the presence
jf Simeon B. Jewett, of Clarkson, and
Samuel Barton, of LewiBton. None ol
tho five men who were engaged in the
murder of Morgan nre now living. Mr.
Weed says they were "all men of cor
rect habits and good character, and all,
I doubt not wre moved by an enthusi
astic but most misguided sense of duty."
Ho further says of King and Whitney
"Both would have shrunk from the
commission of a known crime, and yet
both impelled by the delusive idea that
they were discharging a duty, partici
pated in tho commission of the highest
crime." touch is toe hnal explanation
ol what has remained an exciting mys
tery for nearly fifty years, and all may
be heartily thankful that the time is
past when there is any danger that such
a erime will be repeated.
Hartranft Aealnstho Jia.d.
The re-nomination of Governor Hart
ranft by the largest delegute convention
that has ever assembled in the State.
without a show of onnosition is the
highest compliment paid to any State
executive tor many years, and may be
looked upon as a harbinger of his tri
umphant success at the polls on the 2d
of November. His administration has
been scrutinized by thousands of men,
who during the canvass in 1872. nre-
dicted that in the event of the election,
all manner ot evil would now from an
administration controlled by such un
principled men, as it was illeged, con
trolled him.
After his election and inauguration,
the opposition witnessed with sumrise.
the quiet unostentatious manner in
which he assumed the high duties and
trusts of his office, and the unremitting
attention that he has given to their dis
charge. His experience as Auditor
General, with his ability to investigate
and master everv detail of adminiatrn.

vaneu ana complex duties ot chief Exe
cutive of a great State like Pennsylva

trial, we find him more popular with
mo peopie tuan tie was at the time he
was first placed in nomination for Gov
ernor. Some of the very men who were
loudest in their denunciations of him,
uow have cador to admit the rmrifv nnrl
ability of his administration, and avow
a determination to cive him thnr rnr.
dial support. It would be asking too
much to ask tho leaders of the Democ
racy to openly join in commendations
that have been bestowed upon Governor
Hartranft, but tbev admit his hold nnnn
the people, and fear tho result of the
canvass we are about to enter upon. All
over the State, wherever their is to be
found a prominent leader, or coterie of
Democratic politicians (and what county
is without such?) the anxious inouirv is?
for a candidate that will rivn nmmUp nf
success against uovernor Hartranft. At
. o - '
the time that the Democratic Commit
tee convened to consider the propriety
of fixing a time for the State Conven
tion to meet for the nomination of a can
didate, the inquiry could uot be eatifac
torily answered. .The strong points of
the various candidates, Judges, Militia
Generals, Old Bourbon Leaders, de
feated nominees were all in tuna
brought out to review and consider, but
none gave assurance of success. None
could give promise of victory. Alter
discussing the natter fully, it was de
termined to postpond to a late day in
the canvass, tho meeting of the conven
tion in hopes that "something would
turn up a fit candidace. But alas, a la:

A heavy defalcation has just come to
light in one of the St. Louis national
banks, the criminal being a teller and
connected with one of the oldest and

restored the $00,000 he had stolen.
A gentleman on Monday caught, near
Newport, with hook and line, seven
striped bass, weighing in the segregate
two hundred seventy-eight pounds. The
heaviest weighed fatty and a quarter
pounds, and the average was a trifle be

A little boy in Amity township,
Berks county, Pa , although seven years
old, measures but thirty-two niches in

The estimated coinage of the U. S
Mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Carson City for the present fiscal
year is as follows: Gold, 834,000,000;
trade dollars, 6,000,000; subsidiary sil

The Treasury officers have decided,
after examining the capacity of the
vault in the Boston Sub-Treasury, that
it will not be safe to deposit more than
$3,000,000 of subsidiary coin there, on

Milwaukee is called the beer capital
of America. It is a city of 100,000 in
habitants and during the month ot June
consumed 28,327 barrels of lager beer,
making 14,050,192 glasses. Estimating
that only about half the residents drink,
it appears as if a portion of the people
drink more than one glass a day.
The comptroller of the currency has
completed his abstract of all the reports

New York, August 21. Several ex
cursions went to Couy Island, a short
distance up the Hudson river, yesterday
and during the day there were probably
eight thousand persons there, chiefly
belonging the Masouio and Odd Fellows
organizations, both of which held pic
nics. The excursionists embarked for
home about five P. M. One unfortu
nate lady was caught between the dock
and barge, as she tried to get on an
already too crowded steamer. She was
crushed to a jelly and expired almost
instantly. A gentleman in attempting
to save her had his right arm torn from
his shoulder.
Immigration to the United States,
since the panic of 1873, has fallen off
one-third. Ihe ppoplo of all other
countries except Cbiua have come to
tho conclusion that they cannot improve
their condition by taking up a residence
iu the United States The decrease at
tho port of New York this year is
likely to reach 100,000, enough people
to lound a new state or build a new city
as emigrants bring with them a very
considerable amount of money which is
expended in the purchase ot laud, and
the implements of their crafts and the
means of subsistence, this decrease in
their number has a considerable effect
in retarding the ordinary growth and
prosperity of the country.
Baltimore, August 20. Twenty-two
thousand five huudred boxes of peaches
were received at Light street wharf yes
terday by steamers and pungies, lroui
different points on the Chesapeake and
tributaries. Heavy arrivals continue
tho glut in the markets. Of the re
ceipts yesterday over two thousand
boxes were reshipped to the growers, or
thrown into the river. Prime peaches
brought 35 to 60, and extra 70 to 85
oents per box. The quality (or several
days past has improved very much, and
truit ol the fa u est flavor and variety is
coming in ireeiy.
Boston, August 20. The workmen
employed on the new Insane Asylum at
Danvers were astounded this afternoon
by the descent of a thunderbolt among
them, which instantly killed a man
namod Sullivan and prostrated John
Farquhar. Mr. Ewell, foreman of the
laborers, pprang upou a horse to ride
for a physician. Turning the corner of
a building at lull speed he ran into a
number of workmen who were hurrying
to the scene ci accident. Mr. Collins,
ot Salem, was knooked down by the
norse ana trampled upon, receiving in
juries which will prove fatal.
Memphis Aueust 20. The rapid
decline in the river has dispelled all
fears of further damage to the crops,
but so great is the diversity ot opinion
in regard to damage done to the cotton
erop in this district that it is impossible
to estimate it. The amount varies from
20,000 to 80,000 bales, but there i no
precedent by which the etlect ot an
overflow on cotton at this season of the
year can be approximated. The num
ber of acres of corn ruined by the flood
is largely in excess of cotton.
