We publish to-day a most extraordinary
recital of facts, collected .from various re’
Iwble, sburgesjby oar; reboithrs,".showing
an organized system of swindling on tbe
United'Stdt'eagovernment, which has no
parallel in the wars oi any other country
Some months ago we published a lengthy
expose of similar frands, which at tile time
led to considerable excitement in military
and general circles. The exposures now
made are more particular in their bearing,,
pointing as they do to individuals well

military service of the country were in
most cases totally unfit for the nse of cav

more than from fifteen to twenty dollars a
piece. A farrier was employed to inspect
norse*,-and otf conscientibhslv rejecting
many of them the Colonel becamd greatly

as shamefnl as the preceding
The supply of saddles was too good an
V P E° rtUn A for c SwiDdlia S t 0 b 8 a Ho*ed to
tbe fir “ therefore made good
use of It. According to a statement made
to us, it seems that the Colonel calcnlated
on making about three dollars on each
saddle The saddles furnished to the re
giment were of the old Mexican patten!,
® n , d ,7 ere v . aet! f >? f erior to the McClellan
saddle, and as with the pistols, they were
Ferry &nd condemned at Harper’s
fi o o ?k« el ° l j !c # , h , oDse in tb!s city offered
five thousand doUara for the contract to
make the nniforms for this regiment, and
thsonlnS 5 h ? re glad ‘y B “braced
the opportunity, bntit appeared that the
Kegimentil Quartermaster drew all the
requisitions for clothing on the United
State Quartermaster which were duly sap
phed, thus depriving the chivalroas Colo
chance What D ° d ° Ubt ’ deemed a K°od
The sabres which were supplied to the
regiment were subsequently condemned at
Harr er * Ferry They were of an inferior
'7 ; ii but ’ -‘j h e^ rm ” contr >*ed to make
one dollar and fifty cents on each sabre.
On a contract with a merchant for supply
ing sabres to the whole regiment, it waß
n B partnera should make a
profit of two dollars on each weapon. Be
sides this there is strong evidence to show
that a number of officers bought their
commissions at prices ranging from two
hundred dollars to four hundred dollars
apiece. In regard to the sntlership, which!
L is already stated, was promised to a man
for a fnend, It seems that the Colonel af
terwards sold it to another peason, but
subsequently took u from him and resold
it to a third party lor $5OO, the arrange
ment being that $250 was to be paid in
cash and the remainder afterwards. Thiß
mn,tL P< L rS ( ° n ' l tia a!leg ed, paid the first
moiety, bnt refnsed to pay the other, on
-9°l oTlel abd bia associ
ates baa swindled him out of $8 000
Another man, according to all accounts!
tnousand dollarsm cash,and to furnish the
Colonel $l,OOO worth of groceries. A
sum of $3,000 wa3 also raised for the al
leged purpose of purchasing a silver ser
vice to be presented to the wifejof an hon
orable Senator, but it is now understood
ibht tbe plate was never purchased, bnt
that the money collected for that purpose
was appropriated by the Colonel and his
partners for their own personal use and
OeneSt. A large sum was collected from
the officers and paid over, bnt has never
since been accounted for.
Tbe fruits of this partnership were very
expensive, as may be supposed j but the
wary Colonel appears to have got consid
erably ahead of bis confreres, having, it
said, overdrawn his share of the profits of
the partnership two or three thousand
dollars. One of the other partners was
by no means pleased at this, and express
ed his determination to show up the Col
onel. It was common talk among all who
knew the affairs of the partnership that
they would clear fifty or sixty thousand
dollars. One of them is said to have de
clared openly to some of his creditors that
he should probably clear twenty thousand
dollars ont of the profits on the purchase
of horses. He sought to entrap a man
into the partnership on a promise of giv
ing him ore-third of the profits on the
purchase of horses; bnt this sage fellow
very wisely looked ahead and refused to
go in with them.
This general system of swindling was
carried onl in the most minute details.
A kind of business manager of the or
ganization of the regiment was swindled
out of his pay for hia time as well as for
his services. A citizen of Philadelphia
was defrauded of his pay-tor his servioes
t J the amount Of $360. A man who was
concerned in the purchase of horses seems
also to have been swindled ont of $B,OOO
by the same parties under similar circ’um
stancea.
n T ter f are , some char g ea against the
Colonel at which the public must natural
ly stand aghast,- for if they be proved
when ttie proper board of inquiry begings
its sittings, they- -will naturally consign
ms name to perpetual infamy. It is said
I to be stated by the sufferers themselves,
that he picked his business sgent’s pocket
of $6O; that he alas picked the pooket of
another man of his watch, and that in like
manner he abstracted $5O from the pocket
of an officer in Washington. Tt is to be
hoped for the Colonel’s own sake, as well
as for the honor*of -crar military service,
that these ohaiiges may prove unfounded,
or at least greatly exaggerated.
In his dealings with his Farrier, the
Colonel broke faith with him in not ap
pointing him to a position in the regiment
which he had promised him. The Farrier
was also promised one dollar a head for
each horße that he might inspect: but he
never received-a fartbing'- fc fils time or
trouble.
According to numerous statements made
to it appears that the profits which ac
crued from the purchases of horses and
other materials for the use of the regiment
were-tj»feen and used by the Colonel for
the purchase and furnishing of a house in
thecityof New York. This led to a bis
undprstandmg wtth the two othe'r members
Ot the firm, who were much'dissatisfied
at the course pursued by the Colonel in
appropnatmgthe lion’s share of the spoils
::: Prior, to this it seems that the Colone’l
was. in very, limited circumstances, and,
as the statement goes, ail the wealth he
has amassed has been made out of the
frauds on the'govefnment he was pretend*
ing to serve,
.Of the career of this .Colonel prior to
his eonnectionwith the army a good deal
has transpired. It seems-that he was for
merlj in the employ of so me - c ompany for
some time previous to’ the breahantout of

to htm were the payers, on

of the United States there Was -an indict

• W f J m 4 t t * la l °ue of the barlner.3
is said to. have made an agreement with a
lawyer, m order to get hig influence in ob
taining authority to buy horses and equip
ments for his regiment,,promising to give'
him a barouche and pair of borseb for his
service, as well as one fourlh of the profits I
which they plight make out of the transac
tion; but the lawyer only received the
horses and baronche and $BOO iib money;
He considered that he had been swindled, I
and declared that the whole crew! were a j
set of damned rascals. According to the!
declaration ot two of the partners, the
Colonel had appropriated all the money to I
•his own use. - f I
