He laid all the blame of his own complicity upon Seward, who lived ! upon him, and was his evil mentor When Seward returned fiom the coast, December 3d, he told Cummings that he had shipped arms by a tug imat to bo transferred to a schooner, which had gone to sea. A great sensation was caused by Cum minus stating that upon his inquiring where Seward got the money to pay for j the arms, the latter told him that th® Queen had giv* n him a letter to Rudolph Spreckles, who would furnish the iho* a I sary funds. Cummings remarked that Rudolph had been here and only just re : turned home. Seward replied that a | Mr. Foil is did the business for Sprevkels.
