FRAUDS IN THE TREASUKY.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York World says:
'There have been numerous nw
mors upon the street within the last
few Jays of special discoveries in the
Treasury ot a sensational character.
It has been : alleged :, that Pecretary
Manning has discovered evidence
leading to the proof of a fraudulent
overissue of greenbacks amounting
to many millions of dollars. This
charge is not a new one. ' It has been
frequently asserted that this was a
favorite method of the Republicans
of raising campaign funds during th
loose period following the war. Mr.
Fairchild said this evening that he
knew of no such disclosures result
ing from any investigation now being
conducted. If there had been any
such overissue there would be no oo
tainable evidence now to prove or
disprove the charge. The only way
it would be possible to obtain evw
dence of an overissue would be in
calling jn the outstanding issues of
greenbacks and national notes. Even
that might indicate nothing, as large
quantities of the paper currency are
lost or destroyed every year and.
could not be reached in a call." i ;
, Public attent'on was called to the
frauds in overissue of greenbacks as
far back as 1872. and efforts were
made to have an ihvestigation insti
tuted. It was talked of in Congress,
but for some reason never got far
enough along to reach the investi gating
point. It was said that if the
investigation wore ordered witnesses
could be procured who, at the time
these overissues were made, were
employees in the Treasury Depart
ment who knew a good deal about
the methods then in vogue of keep
ing books and .could andjwould throw
considerable light on the dark places,
but they were never asked to put in
an appearance. . rne. xnterenoe was
that it was too big a job to under,
take, that it involved the names of
too many prominent men, and that
there was so much dynamite in it
that it had better be let alone, and it
was accordingly let alone.' - - . !
The story Of how the people of this
country were plundered during the
war and for a few years subsequent-
never will be fully told nor fully un
derstood. Many of the colossal for
tunes of today are the result of that
plundering. - , '
A delegation of Tennessee Con
gressmen called upon Attorney Gren
eral Vilas last week to talk over the
matter of the removals in the postal
department. It was understood that
removals on political . charges would
not be made until mid-summer, and
that the charges must be specified,
sworn to and the reputation of
the affiants certified to be good by the
Congressmen. Just what would be
considered offensive partisanship was
not definitely 6tated, but it was taken
that the editing of a partisan paper
in , an offensive manner, atten
dance at and active participation in
political meetings, , and the use of
official position .to further
party ends would - be among the
causes deemed sufficient. The cons
elusion that the average mind will
come to is that getting the ins out
will be a good deal like going to law,
which is expensive and not always
profitable. - - :
The work of dismissing the super
fluous clerks in the Treasury Depart
ment will begin about the first of
May, when it is said about one quais
ter of the present force - will be re
lieved. The greatest cutting down
will- be in the internal revenue bu
reau, where very many ridlers;. were
billeted, and whose chief occupation
was in the drawing of their salary
and spending it.
A cable dispatch received in Lex-
ington, Ky., states that Mrs. Henri
etta Morgan, of that pity, 'mother of
the Confederate General John Mor
gan, who was Killed in Greenville,
Tenn., during the late war, has in
herited a million dollars by the death
of her niece, the Barronesg; de ' Fan
nemberg, at Cannes, France, April
12th.
In Philadelphia one daj last week
the letter carriers delivered through
out the city 16000 packages of tobac

postoffice of that city as an advertise

much success. i

Ben Perley Foore.
Andrew J onnson , was a strange
being, understood by few and incom
prehensible to the greater number of
those in public and private life when
he unexpectedly became president of
the United States. The wildest ru
mors were circulated of federal ven-
geance to De wreaeed at short notice
upon all who had been prominent in
the confederate cause, and naturally
there was not - a little trepidation
among cnem as rumor touowed ru
mor of drumheads, hangings, banish
ments and imprisonments to be.
meted out : to the mam offenders
without mercy. . This feehn? was
enhanced in the contemplation of the
race tna: Andrew Jonnson bad sue
ceeded to the presidency. 1 , ,:-
Y irrominent among tnose wno ap
prenenaea cney Knew not wnat was
the late Colonel Robert W.r Johnson,
Of Af kansas." It had fallen out that
in the spring of 1861, on the very day
Colonel Johnson resigned his seat in
the Senate of the United States, that,
he and Johnson (who was then very
bitter in his speeches against the se
cessionists) had had a personal alter
cation on the floor a few moments bo
fore the Senate was called to order,
which was only prevented from be
coming a serious fisticuff encounter
by the interference of bystanders,
and so the two Johnson's had parted,
exchanging mutual epithets of hos
tility. Remembering this, among
other causes, of disquiet, : Colonel
Johnson, who, at the fjee surrender,
found himself in an unenviable situa.
tion. stripped of ail bis worldly pos
sessions and practically without
where to lay his head bethought him
self that the only way to begin to re
habilitate himself so $i to be. able to
resume bis former profession of a
lawyer; was through a presidential
pardon. Coupling in his c&ind - the
old personal quarrel witjj the wild
stories he hoard on all - sides that the
President of the United States had
been empowered by Congress to hang
or shoot the leading men who had
surrendered, jie . reflected thafr his
chances with his old foe were slim
indeed, But seeing no other course
open be made up his mind-to try ; the
venture and take what fate should
accord him. -. -'
' Accordingly Colonel Johnson ap
plied for and obtained a pass from
the commandant of .a federal military
post and journeyed to Washington,
Arriving there in the early evening
he; proceeded to the Metropolitan
hotel, where he locked himself iq his
room, fearing to showi his head to a
recognition, either by an accidental
old acquaintance, or, worse yet a
provost marshal, gurfpg thg nigh
he tried to eonsjder what would be
the outcome of the expedition, and
the conclusion was anything b i
hopeful. Arising from his sleepless
bed in the morning he thought aver
the situation again and finally deter
mined that he would .-'face the music"
without further delay an( end the
suspense, go at as early ftn hour fig
he could gain admittance to the white
house he cornered himself but of the
hotel and into a hack and proceeded
to make his venture. -.: -
Arriving at the executive mansion
he wrote his name on a card and sent
it in to the President. In a few min
utes the usher returned : and an
nounced, in a voice of fearful portent
that the President would see him at
once. The door swung open, and he
found himself in the presence of An
drew Johnson. Colonel Johnson,! in
relating tins incident to a friend
years afterwards, said that at the
moment his eye fell on the President
for the first and only timo in his life
lie was afraid. He advanced to the
end of the table nearest the door and
'placed his hand on it to steady him-
seixj At tne other end sat old -Andrew,
his face worked up to an rap-'
paient' frenzy: of passion, and his
eyes fairly emitting sparks of fire.
liis glance struck through the colonel
likej electricity,;, and . he began jto
tremble at his knees. This lasted
for a few moments, when Andrew
broke out: :. '.- ."--i v'-n I ":
i " ou hear I you infernal traitor, do
you know where you stand? Do you
darei come . here to thecapital thatT
you have tried to destroy ? Why. you
wretched rebel ! D n you, I have
great mind to hang- you to a lamp
post. The colonel stammered out
that he had come to the President to
pleat for his life. "Come to plead
for your life," sneered tha President,
"why, your life is forfeited a thou
sand, times." Then followed a series
of expressions of a most " sulphurous
nature, and which had such an effect,
on the colonel that he had to hold on
to the table with both hands to keep
froml sinking to the floor Next came
a panse of some duration, during
which the President glared upon him
with; bloodshot eyes and a fiendish
sneer. , inauy he broke out again :
You miserable traitor ! rebel 1 assas- ;
sin of your country I you deserve to
be strung up without mercy, and iUl
very soon settle your case for you!"
Reaching out hei seized, a ?.pen and
paper, and with an implacable look
on his face dashed off a few lines,J to
which he affixed his'; sienature. and s
pitching it across the table, exclaim- j
ed : i"There, take that, and make the
the most of it," and turned away.
; Colonel Johnson eaid he had just !
presence of mind enough to. reach
out and cage tne paper, duc was to
confused and blinded by his emotions '
that it was a minute before he could
make out the words On the page. "It
waa an unconditional pardon ! The
poor polonei said the revulsion in hig
feelings was so great that he was -ab
solutely beside , himself for a eh rt
time, and before he could collect h's
thoughts'sufficiently to compreliend
what .had taken place, old Anlrew
suddenly came up behind him, hit
him;a sounding slap on the bay k, and
roared out in his ; loudest: voice:
"B bj old fellow, how are you?" acd
seizing him by the hand he shook it
warmly, accompanied with many
expressions of good feeling. ;
Uolonel Johnson remarked that he
had been in many a hot place in his
life, and in plenty of situations of
great danger, but never in so hot a
skirmish as that was while it lasted.
"I tell you," said the colonel, "An
drew Johnson was one of the bravest
men that ever lived." : . . - '

at as high as $200,000,000, but a good
judge lately said that he thought
iDu;uuu,uuu was now nearer-1 the
mark.
Still heis the richest ' man in the
world.
None of the Rothschilds ever had
anything like his wealth. ! The
banking business of that famous
house still, of course, goes on in Lon
don, raris and Vienna, but it is now
in the hands of young men of the
Rothschild family; and, its wealth
has been distributed among . quite a
numoer oi lis members by will, as
one by one the older men of the firm
died. -; The combined capital of that
iamiiy is now about $250, 000, 000r and
some writers nave declared that Mr.
Vanderbilt s fortune exceeded that
of all the Rothschilds put together,
but ; this is an exaggeration.' It
would not be at all surprising if Mr.
Vanderbilt's wealth should, before he
departs this life, fully justify such a
statement, but for the present it is
enough to snow that he comes as
near as he does to - the figures men
tiohed, and that he is not only; far
richer than any single member of
the Rothchild family; but is, as al
ready stated, the wealthiest man in
the world. None of the traders of
antiquity of which - we have I any
record, none of the present financial
barons of France or England, none
of the moneyed princes of Germany,
Austria, or Russia, or of the world
of haute finance anywhere. ean real

of his day, but even after making
due- allowances for the greater pur
chasing power , of money in those
times ne came nowhere near the
enormous accumulation of the chief
millionaire of today, . ; j
. His wealth , i largely in eovern-
ment bonds and railroad securities.
He takes an inventory of his -wealth
once a year. In January 1883, ! he
told a friend that he was worth
$194,000,000, and added; VI a'ra the
richest roan in the world. In Eng
land the duke of Westminister is said
to be worth $200,000,000, but . it is
mostly in land and houses. It does
not pay him 2jper cent.'V This was an
unusual outburst of boastfulness on
his part. A year ago he had $34,
000 in government i per cent: bonds,
but the amount was afterwards re
duced to $35,000,000 partly for the
purpose of aiding his sons who -lost
$10,000,000 by . Wall street specula
tions. Later on, however ha pur

$400,000 in the government bonds
that pay 3 per cent. Bi3 govern
ment bunds - are worth, as near as
can be stated, $70,000,000. He
owned a year ago 240,01)0 shares of
Michigan uentrai tocK. 3UU,ouo
shares of Chicago and Northwestern.
20Q,O0Q shares of Lake Shore, 30.000
shares iu the Chicago and . Rock Is
land road, 20.000 in the Delaware
and Lackawanna, besides some 20,-
0U0 shares in other railroads, so that
in all he held,, approximately 810,
000 shares of railroad stock. A large
Eart of these he still o wns, though
e is reported to ; have sold consid
erable Lake Shore stock.
He owns $22,000,000 worth of rail
road bonds, it is said besides $3,200,000
worth ot state and city bonds, and
has $2,000,000 in various" manufac
turing stocks and mortgages. He
valued his house on Fifth avenue at
$3,000,000, the art gallery being
worth with its contents, $l,uuo,uuo.
He sold Maud S fer $40,000 last
year. His ordinary expenses in a
year he has said were $200,000, but
bis ball ; given in lbtss, cost mm
$40,000 extra. Mrs. Vanderbilt's
diamonds are ; valued $150,000, He
wears none himself. ; A Wall street
statistician, in referring to Mr. Van
derbilt's wealth said: "From his
government bonds he draws $2,372,1
000 a year; frdm railroad stocks and
bonds, $7,894 000; from miscellaneous
securities, $576,695; total, in round
numbers, .10,350,000- a year. His
earnings are thus $28,000 a dayr$l,-
200 an hour, and $19.75 a minute."
This was a year ago, - wnen nis
wealth was reckoned at $200,000,000.
The value of his securities has de
creased since, , through the hard
times, : , The depression in trade . has
nofrnmprobably reduced his wealth
nearlv $50,000,000. Jut his fortune
and his income are still almost fabu
lous. .
A Bold Preacher.
The boldness of Samuel: Davies
will be illustrated' by a single anec
dote. When president of Princeton
college, he visited ' England for the
purpose ot obtaining donations ior
the institution. : The king (George
II.) had a curiosity to hear a preacher
from "the. wilds of America." He
accordingly attended, and was ; so
much struck with his commanding
eloquence, that he . expressed his as
tonishment loud enough to oe nearo
half way ! over the house, in such
terms as- these : "He is a wonderful
man 1' "Why, he beats my bishop 1"
etc.; Davies, observing that the King
was attracting more attention than
himself, paused, and, looking his
majesty full in the face, gave him, in
an emphatic one, the following
beautiful reproach: "When tlie lion
roareth,iet the beasts of the forest
tremble: and when the Lord epeak-
eth, let the kings of the earth keep
8ilenee." The king instantly shrank
back in his seat, like a schoolboy who
bad been rapped on the head by his
master, and remained quiet uunng
the remainder of the: sermon. The
next day the monarch sent for him,
and gave him fifty guineas for the
institution over which he presided,
observed at the same time to his
courtiers: "He is an honest raan-i-an
honest man." Not one of his silken
bishops could have dared to give him
such a rebuke.
Where the Money (joes.
A statistician has figured out the
expenditures for various purp es in
the - United States approximately as
follows : -'r Drink, $900.000,000 ; . mis
sions," home and foreign, $5,550,000 ;
bread, $505,000,000 ; meat; $203.000, -000;
iron and steel, $200,000,000:
woolen goods, ' $237,000,000;, sawed
lumber, $233,000,000; cotton goods,
$310,000,000 j boots and shoes, $196.
000,000; sugar and molasses, $155
000,000; educational, purposes,, $85,-000,000.-
According to these figures,
drink ' costs more than bread and
meat, and but little Jess 4.han food
and raiment. " ,

Madam On the 29th of last May a boy child
well developed In every respect was born hi this
city, bnt the "King of Jerrors" began to chisel
about Its little heart, and notwithstanding Its
plump and vigorous constitution the poison In the
blood sooa began to manifest Itself in what the
medical men term 'Eczema,' 'Pupura, or 'Heredi
tary Taint' Some old 'mothers concluded the
child had the "yellow thrash.' Tet whatever the
disease it was certainly a stubborn master for the
doctors. i ' "
The mother took the little sufferer to the conn-
try, hoping that the pure fresh air might be bene
ficial, and Dr. , of Lumberton, was called to
treat the case. He pronounced It Eczema, and did
all he could for It but to no purpose, any more
than to cneck the fever to which the disease sub
jected the boy.
"At the first frost the victim was again removed
to the city, and Immediately Dr. was called
and he pronounced the disease 'Pupura,' and pre
scribed accordingly, feeding up the disease on Iron
and other minerals until the babe's mouth be
came so sore that for two week It did not nurse,
A friend suggested as a last hope and resort
UBS. JOS PERSON'S BEMEDT.'
An means of nrocurtne any more help or medi
cine had failed, and In this hour of deepest de
spair the poor mother went and asked her drug
gist to let her have one bottle and one package of
the Bemedy, and was refused, because she old not
have the money to pay for It She pawned her
wedding ring and raised $10 to pay for the medi
cine. - .
"When she gave the child tne first dose, three
weeks ago to-day, the little fellow was a mass of
scaly sores from the hips to the knees ,and at seven
montns oia naa never Dome his weight on his feet
To-diy, by the help of ttod ana a faithful admit, ls
tratlon of the Remedy the child is well and strong
in tbe legs, and last Sabbath morning while the
mother-was weeping at the necessity of drying up
h3T breast, he took hold and nuroed as strong and
vigorous as ever. The administration of the
juetneay is etui Kep up io eneci a complete cure.
"Believing In lta efficacy I have prevailed upon
Mra.- to take It for Inflammatory Blieuma
tlsm." ' - ,.'
