- arssActp PROM PRESIDENT GRANT.
The folloWing - mealage was sent- to the
Senate to-day by President Grant:
To the -Senate of the thiited States-.
Since the nomination and copfirmaticM
. .
of Alexander T. Stewart to the office of
Secretary of the Treasury, I find that' , the
eighth section of the act of-Coiigkessop
proved September 2. 1789, provides as
follows, to-wit:
"And be it f wither. enacted; That no per
son appointed to any.office instituted by
. Ithis act shall , directly or indirectly be
- 1 ooncerned or interested in carrying on
the business of: trade or commerce; or
owner in whole or part of any sea vessel,
or purchase, by himself, or another in
trust for him, any , public lands or Other
public property, or be 'concerned in the
purchase or diaposal of any publje secu
rities
of any State, or of the United
Statee, or take or gain for negotiating or
transacting any business in the-rdepart
ment, other than what shatl be allowed by
Itrw - \, and if any person shall offend against
any of the prphibitions of this act, he
shall be deemed guilty of a high misde
meanor, and forfeit to the United States
the penalty of three thousand dollars,
and shall upon °envied n be removed
office and 'forever hereafter be in
from
capable of holding 'anyoffice underthe
United States:, provided that if any per
eon not irpablie,prositout r„shall give in
formation of any such o ence on which a
prosecution and conviction shall be had,
one-half of the aforesaid penalty of three
thousand dollars, when recovered, shall
be for the use of such person giving the
information." . ..-,
In view of these provisions, and the
fact that Mr. Stewarthas been unani
mously confirmed b y the Senate. I
would ask that he be exempted by joint
resolution of the two Houses of Congress
from:the operation of the same.

fa
ther and son, ,
wh were convicted at the
f li
January (1869) to m o th United States
,
Circuit Court.ef t vs Rear ct of rescuing
seized whisky::: in a r venue officer.
Jacob was sentenced to three years' im
prisonment at hard - labor and fined six
hundred dollare,' and Moses' was sen
tenced,to one year's imprisonment and
fined two hundred •dollars.' The pardon
is granted on the ground that the De
puys had given valuable inforibation in
regard to revenue frauds, and had been
promised protection. The •pardons are
conditional upon the payment of the
fines imposed.
Shortly after the pardon was received
'by Deputy Marshal Thompson, the Dis
trict Attorney sent a telegram to Com
missioner Rollins, informing him of, the
fact, and the Commissioner had a brief
interview with President Grant, the re
suit of which is embodied in the follow,-
lug dispatch,-retelved at the District At
torney's office at three o'clock:
Samitel G. Courtney, Esq., - U. S. Attorney,
41 Chantbers street, New York:
I have just seen the President, who in
stantly ordered the withholding of the
Pardon of the,, Dupuyri. I have sent to
the State Department to see if any par
dons were issued. If the Marshal has
them, let him withhold them. The Pres
ident is in earnest about this,.
E, A. R,OLLINS, Commissioner.
At half-past two o'clock Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Bell had a fresh warrant
made out for there-arrest of the Depuys
on an Indictment found against them
by the Grand Jury, charging them with
„,
having obstructed the officers of Mar
shal Marray's department in the execu
tion of their duty, when they attempted,
it is said, to fire on the latter. The
bench warrant was promptly issued, and
is in the hands of an officer for eiecu
tion. Jacob Depuy - is to pay a fine of six
hundred dollars and Moses three hun
dred dollars before they can be liberated
on the first charge, and they will be re
arrested.
Later in the day thelfollowing dispatch
was received at the Marshal's office:
Washington, D. C., March 6, 1869.
ROBERT MURRAY, Esq., U. S. Marshal,
