Heavy Defaleatkin—Riumered Expedition
to Cutia-rEast River Bridge—Forger
Arrested—Union Pacific Railroad UV
Igation.
[By Telegraph to the Pltteborgh eszette.l
NEW 'form, April 17, 1869.
Intense excitement was created at Pro
.duce Exchange this evening by the di&
covery of a defalcation amounting to
more than 5160,000. The defaulter is Mr.
Peck, of the firm of Packer, Peck &Ca,
owners of aniron elevator at the foot of
Degraw street, Brooklyn: Four of
five firms doing business on the Produie
Exchange placed in the hands of the
firm at different times, beginning with
last fall, produce amounting in the ag.
- gregatti to as fbilows: corn, 113,754 bush
ebs, oats, 70,454 bushels, and rye,
7,561 bushels. Thie, it 'is allege&
Peck disposed' of a market rates,
amounting to about 5160,000. Yes
terday Peck could not be found,
and an examination of the books re
vealed the fact of the defalcation. Al
though the Most diligent search has been
made, no trace of hie whereabouts can
be found. Report.says he hat sailed for
Europe; Mr. Packer, partner of the
defaulter, la lying sick at his residence
and much sympathy is felt for him by
those who have had dealings with the
firm. It is due to the Warehousing As
sociationto say that the firm of Packer,
Peck & Co. was not a member.. It is ru
mored .on 'Change that one or two of
'the firms who have suffered by the de
falcation will be obliged to suspend.
This is the heaviest defalcation- in pro
duce ever committed in this city.
Ccinsiderable excitement was caused
by the report that a strong expedition
was about to sail from New York, with
the tacit approval of the United States
authorities. This is ascertained to bent
least inaccurate in details: Numbers of
mail; it is true, are being drilled in vari
ous parts of• the city; arms are being
bought in large quantifies and storekin
convenient depots; but still the metropo
lis will not be the point of departure for
any, large expeditionary. force. For this
We must look further South.
The. Government Commissioners ap
pointed to examine into the feasibility
of the. ,Wist river . bridge have oceans
plished their Ml* and approved allthe cal
culations of M.r. Roebling, the engineer.
Authority will doubtless be given to
begin work on the return next week of
:the Oommissionersfmm their visit to the
west.
Jas. Smith has been arrested on suspi
cion of having passed one of the forged
.Tay Cooke & Co. checks; and committed
on cogoplaint duly made. He has been
identified by the teller as the man to
whom he paid the 59.000 check. He has
confessed he passed that check, states
the amount he received as his share of
the operation, and gives the names of the
parties who forged the fli . e checks.
An arrangement has been made; sub
stantially in the nature of an OPPeal from
Judge Blutchford's declaim, by , which
all the questions argued before him in the
Union Pacific Railroad case will be re
argued
before Justice Nelson, commence 1
lug on or about the 19th inst. Judge
Barnard issued to-day a -inipplementary
injunction against the Corn Exchange
Bank, forbidding them to pay out any
money due T. C. Durant.
Joseph Santarille, one of the Cherry
street gang of counterfeiters, was sen
tenced today to four years imprisonment
in the Albany Penitentiary,
Last evening a party, Said to be Philip
Harwood, was arrested here, suspected
of being implicated in the recent burgla
ry and robbery of a - Million dollars in
Philadelphia.
Orders have been received at the Navy
Yard in Philadelphia for the immediate
fitting out of three monitor iron clads,

A fire broke out this morning in the
table faztory, , l66, 168 and 180 Monroe
street, owned by BroWne and Bliss,

WREnzes, Our new President, 11, S.

common country, gained our confidence
as a patriot; and whereas, since his imm
littration i he has nominated the rebel
General I,ongstreet to a fat office,

- Representative Stokes spoke at "eh.'
;Court Mane to-day_ to &boa two tltdti
sand five hundred 'persons, thO greignr.
portion of them colored. He
calved with - enthusiasm and app
lateW
throughout- He said he had not smarts
insult any, one, or to injure any le'S
feeling& He had come dmplylovi
cafe the purity of Congress, uptin which
foul aspersions had been cast by Andrew
.Toluison, in his speeches- at Knoxville
and this place. He. showed that Con
gress had .never transcended the bc•tai.
daries Of the Constitution. In;passing
acts over the veto they had exercised 110'
power not granted by that instrument: He
accused Johnson ofhaving been the cause
of all the troubles InTenneesee; of having
stirred up bad feeling, nest by giving
Brown:low Instructions to call ..on. .the
United States for troops. He took: un
Johnson's statement , that he freed the
negroes Tennessee,and showed that
when 'Lincoln hull announced his inten
tion to proclaim freedom to the slaves,
Johnson went to Washington and '
pre=
veiled upcm the President to eaeept Ten
nessee, and he only declared them free
when they were so in fact.. He went
-through Johnson's Knoxville speech,
and showed how unreliable were- its
statement* of faots. He`would not cbarge
Andy with insanity, but he would say
he believed that if Johnson would retire
to his home stGreenville, the gnawing('
of his conscience would give him no
peace, and he.,wonld soon die. He ac
cused Johnson of having deceived every
party and everybodywho had ever heisted
him; as having been an inebriate and
profane man; said he exceeded- his au
thority undOr the Constitution impris
oning citizens of Nashville in the State ,
prison, and in assessing special taxies on
others, whilst MiUtary'Governer. John
son was prating about, the Constitution,
and yet he had declared in a public '
speech in Nashville "Show me a man
that talks about the Constitution, and I
will show you a traitor." He warned the
people in beware of Johnson. He was
on a dark mission; plotting to disturb
the peace and perhaps incite revolution.-
In conetualosi he urged the disfranchised
masses to cease making incendiary
speeches, to abstain from murder and as
sassination, and they would very speed
ily be given the right of the ballot. So
long as they indulged in acts of lawless
ness, and were prolifid of threats,
- they never would.get what they desired.
He said he intended be a breakwater
in the path of Johnson, and would ex- -
pose his\ dark and damning record to the
Yotiblic gaze. The speech was about
three and one-half hours in length. He
made no reference to the gubernatorial
canvass, but accused Johnson of plotting
in oonnection with the election of Su
prefne Court Judges, which takes place
next month.

A. man named Barry, t loarding cis
Third avenue, on Saturday night, at s
late hour, ate some bread whit hhe founLt
on a table in the kitchen of hit i.txxtrding
house, thinking it was left thei -e for Ws-

toms of , poison and immediately,. repaired
to. M. J. McGann's drug store, , at the
head of Fifth avenue, on the ext `erasion,
and made known his condition. 1 le was
in terrible pain, and Mr. McGann a it once •
determined that he bad taken a lobelia
poison, probably arsenic, and pha War
administered powerful antidotes. Dr-
Daly soon after Arrived and_sse Wad-

poison, and within an.hour emceed* 41
affording relief: The poisoned soar was
perfectly sober at the tinie, and was at st.
loss to account for the •bread - being left
in such a place, unless it Rasto fe

tamed and a ehemiod analyais of it vs UL

to discover if it chntahus poison. Th
affair is involved in considerable mya

Loafeva Arrested.
>
Sinca the advent of pleasant w eather
the laafera in Allegheny, especially ouu
Sundays, have mustered in full fo r
me at:
ever3r available point. One ofihe
occupied for this purpose haa thin thek- - •
pavement in front of St. Marys church,.
corner of Washington and -I , Libertr
streets, Fourth ward, Allegheny. The
attendants at the church havebeen muck_ -
annoyed by this practice, and at first,
tried mild measures, bat tindinst limas in--a
sufficient they had to resort to-baraher
measures. Yesterday a force of police- •
made a raid On the chaps just as they -
bad taken up their quarters as usual.
Six of them were arrested. and- taken to--
the lock-up. Last evening Mayer Drum
imposed the usual line upon each, which
they managed to pay and were* discharg-- --
ed. This will probably have •the effect.
of causing them to change their base,but
as to stepping the nuisance that is quite a.
different affair. '
Burglary.
Saturday night or Sunday morning the
establishment of W. B. Lupton & Co.,
roofers, on Penn street, near Wayne,
was entered by burglars and sixty dol
lars in money and a lot of valuable pa—
pers taken.

opens, through which au entrance was
effected. A heavy crowbar was taken
from the marble shop - and .used in pry
ing open the desk, which contained tho
money and •papers. There were three
good overcoats hanging up in the office,
from the pockets of each of which the
burglars took a handkerchief and, pair of'
gloves. _
It was not the custom of the firm to
leave money in the desk, but, it-appears,
this sixty dollars had been paid in dur
ing the evening and had. been left in
the drawer through a mistake. There is
no clue to the perpetrators. •

der, - seriously fracturing -his collar
bone and both his legs. The -window
was at the back • part of the houlle and
just beneath was sitting a wash tub, bot—
tom up, uponwhich he fell. The bottom
I of the tub was caved in and the man in-
jured-as stated. The tub in all Probabil
ity broke the fall, and perhaps saved his
life. One of-his roommates happened to
be awake at the time, and hear ing . the
fall; ran down stairs and calling for as
sistance. removed the injured man to his
room. A surgeon was called and his in
juries attended to as well as the nature
of the case would admit of.
