THE UEW ORLEANS FRAUD.
The Way tlie Government was Swindled.
Tbs havy swindle on the Government
I'erpetrated by Jacob Ljesreuthul, a claim
silent of Sew i'urt, were communicated tu
I iie tiovcrumeut authorities by a gcntk'tuaii
in the same profession now practising there.
Mr. Luewenthaf a frauds and forgeries were
tie tested and traced up to an abundance of
legal proof, any portion of which is suffi
cient to convict him of lorgery,fraud andi-ub-oruatiou
of witnesses, by a very respectable
claim agent of that city. It appears that
about the beginning of September ample
evidence of the fraudulent practices cl'-Mr.
Loeweuthal waj submitted to the Secretary
f War, and by him referred to the Pay
master General, who on the '21 of. Oc'oU-r
returned the p:iper to the Adjutant (iener
I, from who: otnee it was immediately
transmitted to Major General Philip II.
Sheridan at New Orleans, who is mw en
gaged iu ferreting out this stup- u lom piece
of rascality, which has piuu iered the United
.States Government of about one million of
dollars. Last spring Mr. Loewenthal sent
two men to New Orleans Mr. J. Lovejoy,
formerly a claim agent in Washington, and
Mr. G. Blair who advertised that they were
government agents, duly authorized by the
government to collect the discharges of col
ored troops for the pirpuse of procuring and
paying to them the bounties due them.
rhe.se confederates were provided with a
spurious stamp, which they used in their
transactions with the colored troops, and
which they inflmned the negroes was a law
ful government stamp. When a large num
ber of these discharges were thus collected
they were sent on to Washington. Mr.
Loewenthal furnished great quantities of
blank to the New Orleans confederates,
who made out applications, with the excep
tion of names and amounts, filled up the
affidavits and had them stamped by a notary
public in this complete condition, and sent
them on to Washington in huge bundles.
Here Mr. Loewenthal filled up the blanks
with the names and amounts due the sol
diers, whose discharges he had previously
received, made out the necessary vouchers
for pay, forged the signature of the claimant
and tinned it in a manner rtirAs-ntinr t h.-it.
the claimant had made his mark having the 1
Boiaiers discharge as proof, and presented !
the claims for payment. Mr. Loewenthal,
iter oecoimng possessed of a large sum ot
uuuev in mis manner, started lorixew ur
leatw, first warning his partners to give no
tice to all claimants that their presence was
required at the 'office in New Orleans to re
reive their money.' Arrived there he. was
iire to find an immense concourse of , color-claimant-
in the midst of which, with
all the noise and confusion usual on such
occasions, he called each "claimant up in suc
cession, and . by " an ingenious , and rapid
method of payment, which not a little mys
tified the recipients," who where ; hurried
away too quickly for. their surprise to find
..expression iu words, he contrived to, force
'. ironj this branch of the service a very grati
tying remuneration. Unless means are dis
covered to recover from Mr. Loewenthal all
, ct a portion of the money' thus fraudulently
- 9s.tined the government must be loser, in
asmuch as the claims which Loewenthal col
ct were real, ' while for their settlement
tue Government has nothing but forged re
2tpu to how.' ,Mo3t.;ot the. men whom
loewenthal professed to pay received but a
portion of what was due them, and there-
je baw still a claim against the Govern
enf,'"'A Jreat number 6f fijtitious claims
wiicb. had been , presented, at ', the depart
E'eats and had been stamped as rejected on
?count of the claimants' names not appear-
.'n? on the rolls filed in the 'Adjutant Gen
a ofHce were fouud in the office of the
-Jew Orleans partners, thus plainly indica
te: another mode in which fraud was at
tempted on the Government authorities, and
it is expected that in a'shdrt time all-the
ceuila will be made, public: ' It is also' said
su full developments will iniiDlicate certain
paymasters who -were concerned 'with Mr. I
nthal jnthe payment of check books.
. "wTiat lie said about the "Higger."
Gen. Steedmao was a little ,more than a
year ago another man from the Steedman
who did his best to break down the : Freed
men's Bureau, and show that the Southern
States were only joking when they rebelled,
and were all the while loyal to the' Union.
In a speech made by him at Toledo, in May,
1865, he said: ...... . .
"There is one point which strikes me as
necessary to be well understood add recog
nized as a preliminary to reconstruction
and that is the right of the gallant colored
lieroes of tlie war to have a voice and a vote
in the.tcork.' .The plans of the President
and his Cabinet on the subject are not yet
fully developed to the public, but if I know
anything of Andrew Johnson,- he will never
consent that the man who has borne amis in
defense of the Government though as blade
as blade can be shall be degraded hy a re
fusal of civil rights. You all know I never
was a great lover of the negro ; but I must
not be unwilling to do him justice, : nd the
more particularly si ould I avoid injustice,
when I know the services he Iras rendered
us. Alter trusting him on the picket line
after employing him asa scout after deem
ing him fit to bear arms for our defense on
the battle-field, shall ice refuse lorn the priv
ilege of the ballot-box? and if so. in God's
hime, wh) f JJejend upon it ifiou discard
their aid such refusal, yon can never' es
tablish Federal authority icithout the con
stant presence of Federal bayonets."
1 He used yet stronger language in speak
in of the right of the Government to fix the
terms upon which the Kebel States should
be admittcd r - .. . " -
"I want the Government never to let go
its grasp until it can take the whole monster
into its own hands beyond all doubt and
when our authority becomes established
. when State Governments are reorganized
w hcu representatives are sent to Congress
: and to the benate under the advice ot ioya
I and good men, do not forget to aive the
bln;lc man the ri'iht of pronouncing an
opinion at to how far the elective franchise
should be given to those who have borne
arms against the'mGover anient.
Siuce that day the loyalty of the freed
men has not wavered, but how mighty is
the change in Gen. Steedman and Andrew
Johnson. . - ' - - 7 -
Lwi'Rovement in Arms. The French
Emperor, always anxious to increase the
power of his arniv, is preparing to arm one
hundred rtgitueuts with the Chassepot
breech loader, a weapon which is said to be
as much superior to the Prussian needle gun
as tne latter is to the Jlinnie rme. lie is
also having prepared a species. of bullet
proot armor, the seeret ot the construction
of which he has purchased from a needy
young Italian. It is a flexible metal hirt.
weighing but four and a half pounds, which
is put on by the soldier and protects his en
tire body. A plan is also beins: considered
by the Emperor of having the front rank of
his advancing columns to carry huge buck
lers when in action, so that the men behind
them, whilst protected by the enemy's bul
lets, can fire over the heads of their kuetl
ing comrades through loop-holes in the buck
lers. Public attention is so .generally turn
ed to providing some sure protection for sol
diers against the improved weapons of the
present day, that the problem will probably
soon be successfully solved.
Cen.scs Statistics. A valuable etaticti
cal table, exhibiting the rate of increase in
the population of the different States in the
Union since thU census of I860, is now in
the course of preparation at the Depart
ment of the Interior. The census of 1865
has been received by the Department from
seven States,and the increase of population,
even during the existence of the war, in
which the mortality was usually large, was
as follows ; Minnesota, forty per cent. ;
Illinois, twenty-six per cent. ; Michigan,
seven and a half per cent. : Rhode Island,
tour per cent. Taking the general advan
tage of this increase thirteen and one-half
per cent. as a fair representation of the ra
tio of increase in the other States, the Cen
sus Bureau estimates that the population of
the United Mates and .territories has increas
ed from 31,443,321 the number found by
the census of I860 to 35,500.000. :

A Washington special to the Chronicle
says : It is obvious that the Fenian lead
ers are now bringing a strong pressure to
bear upon the President relative to the fu
ture action of the Government toward their
proposed renewal of the war on ' the Cana
dian border. It is admitted, even by those
who share the President's confidence, ; that
these remonstrances are being listened to
with close attention, and it is a fact that
the audience given the principals has lately
consumed most of the odd hours of the Ex
ecutive. The assurances of the political
strength to be given the Administration fol
lowing the non-intervention proposed are
said to be the most alluring. ' 1 '.
: The State debt of Virginia is about $42,
000,000; the assets, in the' hands of the
State Treasurer, consisting principally of
railroad stocks, amount to about $15,000,
000; 'the present population of the State is
about one arid a quarter millions of these
half a million are freedmen. The produc
tive power and the mineral and agricultu
ral wealth of the State is capable of great
development, which, under the new system
of free labor, it is hoped will be realized.

During the present year, up to the 22d
Sept. V the foreign export of petroleum from
the : United States exceeded forty-two mil
lions of gallons. . Last year to the same
feriod, it was only 15,503,9S6 gallons,, or a
ittle over one-third ot this year's export.
Commodore Vanderbilt and John Morrissey.
The New York correspondent of the Roch
ester, N. V., Democrat is responsible for
the following: The gossip concerning Com
modore Vanderbilt and John Morrissey,
which has been going on during the, whole
season, j is now beginning to leak into the
press.' The . sudden expansion of a mere
prize fighter of the truly blackguard order
into the owner of a first class gambling
bouse, is ' a transition so marvelous that it
seems like romance. Gossip explains it
thus: ' Morrissey owned a fast horse whose
speed anuoyed the" fancy drivers of the Av
enue, and among others the Commodore.
The latter, who is' bound to distance every
thing that paws gravel, now found his cour
sers outstripped. - His mortification at this
circumstance was great, but not so great
as his surprise one day to find the wonder
ful horse iu his stable with a ticket labeled
''with the compliments of John Morrissey."
The Commodore was overjoyed -at being
once more leader on the turf. The reply
was "What will you have ? " The adroit
pugilist only asked Iriendship and patron
age. . The Commodore cannot deny so open
a request, and the two friends join in a
pilgrimage to "the Springs.',' The Commo
dore is an old Wall street operator, and his
protege now proposes that they bring , Wall
Street to Saratoga. All that is necessary to
accomplish this is to open a faro bank.
The Commodore seems to think the idea of
placing a few lame ducks at the Springs is
as good as that of having swans in the Cen
tral Park. The question arises "How
much must I draw for?" -""One hundred
thousand," is the reply. The hundred
thousand fits up the establishment, and
John Morrissey, once the low-lived . pugi
list, becomes iving ot Saratoga and reigns
among the worshippers ot luck becomes a
golden Hercules is talked of for Congress,
and as far as blackguardism is concerned
thinks himself lit to he t resident, cuch is
the explanation which gossip furniohes us
of this rare transformation.
An Augusta dispatch saj s that considera
ble feeling is exhibited throughout Georgia
on the subject of repudiation. It is thought
an effort will be made on the mcetinff of the
Legislature in November, to relieve the peo
ple f rom the payment of certain debts con
tracted prior to and during the late war.
The plea urged for repudiation is the loss of
the' slaves and the failure of thexrops. i he
ainonnt of ' property returned in the State
for 1 S66 $207,000,000. In 1 860 the amount
was over 620,322,777. Loss over $465,

In Belgium and Holland linen is prepar
ed beautifully, because the washerwomen
use refined borax, instead ot soda, as a wash
ing powder. One largo handful of borax is
used to every ten gallons of boiling water
and tho saving in soap is said to be one-half.
For laces and cambrics an extra quantity is
used. Borax does no injure the linen, and
it softens the hardest water. A teaspoon
ful of borax added to an ordinary sized ket
tle of hard water, in which it is allowed to
boil, will effectually soften the water. ,
A Paris letter speaking of , Cholera ex
perience says : "But the total of it all is
that the lare majority of scientific men be
lieve . First, that the disease is most fre
quently developed spontaneously, under the
iuflueuee of some atmospheric erudition not
yet understood ; second, that persons who
would not otherwise take the disease, may
do so from breathing the air which sur
rounds cholera patients ; and third, that the
vitiation of this air is caused mostly by the
dejections from the sick."
' Another mysterious disappearance has oc
curred iu : Chicago. Edgar Tisdale, a weal
thy merchant of. Dubuque, Iowa, came to
Chicago on the 24th ef last month, and
stopped at the Sherman House. The last
seen of him was on Tuesday, the 25th. He
had then about $2,0(0 in his possession. A
Texan occupied the same room at the Sher-
man House with' Mr. Tisdale, and left' the
hotel on Tuesday. Several other circum
stances indicate that Mr. Tisdale has been
murdered.
The Herald Washington special says :
G. B. Damar, of Savannah, Georgia, is here
urging his claim to a large amount of cotton
seized by the Government His object ap
pears to be to secure Executive or Depart
mental action in his favor, thus keeping it
out of the Court of Claims, " before which
tribunal the first step in the proceedings
would require an oath that he had never
participated in the late rebellion. J ;4 .''.

According to the last United States cen
sus, the number ot. churches in the United

property over $171,000,000. 5 The number

Worda of "Wisdom.
-the mornings and evenings are just
at this time decidedly cool. During the
day the sun is warm, and . hence, persons
wno nave regard for their health, should be
caretul about their clothing. Sudden chills
or severe colds caught through carelessness
may result in serious if not fatal consequen
i-ca. ine ripening corn ana yellow trui
neraiu me rapid approacn ot autumn, and
m a little time the summer will be ended
the time for the singing of birds will be
passed, and the voice of the turtle heard no
more in the land." Thus our days and
years glide rapidlv awav. mature manhood
with its cares and anxieties is upon its, and
old age and its. infirmities, and finally the
night of death, will come in their order. It
is a pad and solemn reflection, vet neverthe
less true, that of the great mass of living and
moving humanity about us, but little wil
be left a quarter of a century hence. The
green earth and the golden s ky with the
changing seasons, will bo greeted by other
eyes ; other hands will pluck flowers from
the wayside, and other voices tune thei
notes' of praise and rejoicing.' We shoul
make all we can of the brief period allottei
to us here, always having in view the impor
tanee of strict observance of those rules
which will meet the approval of our fellow
men and the favor of Heaven. '
. .; i A Shocking Case.
One of the most horrible pictures of wan
we have met with lately, is the account of
the tamhshmg to death of a poor widow and
two or her", four children in '.Montgomery.
Alabama.' lbe whale had been living on
Government rations, and when these were
stepped nothing was left (hem but to starve
to death.- ihe mother, hugging to her bo
som her hungry little ones cnng vainly for
food, could but bedew their cheeks with bit
ter tears. She was found dead on the floor.
Iier babe, when discovered was too far
gone to be rescued. Starvation had xlone

until it expired. The next child, a pretty
little girl 7 years old, was emaciated by
Lunger to a complete skeleton. She, too,
prayed only for bread; her life could not be
saved. " The other two, ! it was thought
must perish ; but with care they finally re
covered, and told the most heart-rending
stpry of their mcther a and their own sufler
(ings. ; .' -
: An amusing incident occurred at one of the
polls in the rural districts ot Pike county.
Mo. -By the new Registration Law, every
man must sign his name to an oatb. A
mong other candidates a late rebel captain
presented himself, and being unable to
write, he made his! mark, - whereupon the
registry man called in a couple cf niggers as
witnesses, who both wrote their names in a
legible hand. "No you don't," said the
captain; "Iv'e got scruples agin takingthat
oath, there is too much nigger about it.
The Mormon paper in Utah called the
Daily Telegraph, utters this threat : "Even
in a material view it does not seem to pay
to utterly despise the people of Ltah.
They have exercised, and may yet exercise
no mean influence on the material as well
as the political and moral welfare o.f the na
tion. and it is not safe to trample them un
der foot too long,, or with too many nails in
your boots. ' -
