Sept. 17th, I860. th
recent letter lays bare a most cxten
Btvo system of j frauds and forgeries
Tcccully discovered iu the Trcasnry
as follows : j
The years 1SG5-G found many quar
termasters and commissaries : with
wropcrtv oh hand and accounts unset
tled. An opportunity was given them.
to cUre their books. Jt nas transpired
that sonic of these officers credited and
guTC vouchers! for the property ou
hand to pnrtiefj from whom none had
heen received, and divided the profits.
In these cases nearly all the proofs
outside of tbat act were forged. Vot
ing upder tho belief, private, inquiry
-was instituted which in many eases
resulted in receiving answers like that
vhich may be cited here. The Commissary-General,
doubting the genu
ineness of a claim presented on behalf
of a prominent gentleman in Tennes
see, whose signature was across mark,
wrote him a letter of inquiry. Tlitr
answer was, in part, as follows : "f
did not furnish your army with fcny
subsistence. I1 have presented no
claim against your govemmeht, I
never.mado a maik in connectioo with
government matters, except upon a
iv Yankee soldier when I was in the
Confederate array." r '
The firm of Blackburn "& Hanford,
claim agents in a town iu East Ten
nessee, were largely interested in pro
curing payments upon this class of
claims. olond Blackburn, the. senior
T partn(ir, had. previously been and con-'
S tinned to act while associated with
rllanlord as a volunteer revenue detec
tive, his salary being the moitics allow
ed by law to informer against illicit
distillers and ivhiskey. lie came to
