from th‘ /‘hitoMphia Press.
Sime years -‘alter the war” when l was
hvin-in Augusta. Ga.. a gentleman called
at my office and, introiucing himself as
Gell Crawford, United States army, mmi
mencod, after a lew prejminary remarks
on other and unimportant subjects, to
convetse about the war. Amou* other
incidents he mentioned that he was tne
nfl son "ho had lound that copy of Gen.
tee’s order which told how ecattored were
the divisions of his army, and w hich had
heel, dropped by sutue one In the camp at
Frederick -'ld., and that he had hand, and
that order to Gen, SJcOJellan, who there
upon had basteied his march against
rln Lee. lie then spoke ol the battle of
Gettysburg, and dually remarked “that
,1 would acknowledge to him in writing
‘ v lorces had betn driven back from their
advance on July S by the forces under his
command, the Pennsylvania Uesorves, it
would be worth a grade In the army to
in effect that 1 could not mako
any such acknowledgment, as it was the
rirst time 1 had ever beard of it. 1 hat all
the accounts that had been given to me at
tne time by brigade commanders, colonels
and other officers and privates pad made
me believe that Gen. Wotlord, the oily
brigade commander who had brought Ills
brigade from the iront, had been ordered
back by Gen. Longstreet. That Gen.
Wofford so slated to me at the time, and
it was done in aloud and poltive voice
and tone, and had afterwards reiterated
it in tne presence of Gen. Longstreet and
from my own knowledge of Gen. W and
from the feel that his men came bulk in
line of battle, with the General on lorst
baek in the rear, and that there wis no
pursuit, not a gun being fired, I lir.d every
reason to believe that Gen. Woflort bad
really been ordered back, and was rut fol
lowed by any one when he retired. Atter
the gentleman had gone l began tolhink
UnU there might he something ii Gen.
Craw ford's claim, that he had grounds or
which 1 was ignorant on which to >ase it.
And if there wus 1 would give ltm the
benefit of it; provided the stateneuts of
those wboweie in positlou to kuov would
authorize it. 1 accordingly lormiluted a
series ol questions which would cover the
claim made by Gen. Crawford, aid sent a
copy to Geu." Wofford, whose reply was
never received (the General is sinot dead);
to Gen. Humphries, who eommanled the
■list Mississippi, in lfarksdale’s irlgaue,
and who succeeded Geu. Jiarksdaly, killed
on the 2d; to Gen. Bryan, who coumaud
ed a regiment in Gen. Wofford’s brigade
in ihe charge of the ‘id, and win on the
uUht ol that clay was placed in command
of Semroes’ brigade, vice Si-uines dan
gerously wounded; to Col. McGlaskin,
Doionel in Semiues’ brigade July 2, and to
others. My inquiries wore specially as to
the retirement oi Wofford’s brigade and,
generally, as to whether any other brigade
in my command had been driven hack.
As every one concurred in the statement
made hv Gen. Wofford to me on the bat
tleliold, and what was told nte there by
others—being that he was not driven hack
but retired solely because he was ordered,
1 think it best, so that all who read can
judge lor themselves, to give you the
statements of the most prominent ut' those
writers who replied to my inquiries.
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE.
Gen. B. G. Humphries, of Misdssippi.
a graduate of West Point, and a/ter the
war Governor oi Mississippi, wrote me as
follows:
‘■l understood at the time that oir move
ment to the peaon orchard was t get on
the left flauk ol the enemy, but when we
arrived there it was unmistakably any
thing but the flank; it was a iotnidable
compact line of frowning artUery and
bristilng bayonets. * * We charged
when the artillery, that which Gat. Loug
stroet had placed in the middle of my line
oi battle, ceased, with the gene-a! order
to ‘swing to the left,’ still hoping tnat we
were ou the enemy’s Hank and iius be in
a position to drive in that flankand push
them towards Gettysburg. We soon found
that we were not on their flauk
“Barksdale continued to swing to the
left, until 1 was forced to abandon that
movement, being on his extreme right,
and made a directcharge aga-nst tne guns
in the peaob orchard. Theirinfanu y sup
port fled and the guns were captured; 1
was In 100 much of a hurry to count them
andletttbem behind. Pushing on through
the orchard 1 could see the Pederais flee
ing to the right and left.
“Far to mv right I coaid see fugitives
seeking Round Top, from which compact
masses were tiring from every crag on
Hooj’saDdour men. Par to my leit t
could sec the weary line rallying and
lighting Barksdale. 1 endeavored to turn
the guns of my captured batteries on their
liiii s, hut the Federate bad carried off the
fammers and triolion tubes. While ar
ranging to return to Barksdale 1 discov
ered a long line of Federate marching from
the direction of Cemetery Hill directly
against tne; looking Hgain to my right
and rear, 1 saw Wofford retiriug towards
the peach orchard. To my left, Barksdale
being killed, the three other regiments
that were with him were also retiring. 1
couid see no reintorternonts coming aud
iietermiutd to retire to the stono fence,

Mow comes Col. McGlaskin, who com
manded a regiment iuSemmtS’ brigade at
Gettysburg, who says:
“My attention having been called to an
article bv Major General Crawford, of the
Pennsylvania Reserve division, I posi
tively asset t that no attack was made by
Geu. Crawford’s division on any portion
ot the line.”
From the foregoing statements made by
officers of character, ability aud experi
ence, wjtom I know were eooi and col
lected under all circumstances, you will
perceive that it would bo impossible for
me to say that my command was driven
back by the advance of Gen. Crawford’s
forces along any portion of the line held
by me July 2. nor on the 3d. But on the
contrary, whatever retrograde movement
was made was done by order of authority
superior to those immediately command
ing the troops which retired, and theorder
to retire was given, not beoause ot the
threatening attitude towards them of the
enemy in their respective immediate
fronts, but because the necessity existed
of making arrangements for anew con
dition of affairs affecting the whole army.
Gen. Longstreet informs me that Gen.
Crawford sought an interview with him
when he was on a visit to New York, some
time after the war, and asked him “what
t l oops of bis (Longstreet’s) he (Crawford)
bad driven back at Gettysburg?” and that
be (Gen. Longstreet) replied he could not
tell him, as he was not aware that any
one had attacked him at Gettysburg.

An Old Abuse to be Remedied in
tlie Treasury Department.
Washington, Nov. 3.—Ex-Governor
Thompson, of South Carolina, now As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, is
quietly carrying out a much needed re
form in his department, the object of
which is to do awav to a great extent
with the substitute system. This system
is a relio of the days when the victors got
the spoils. When William l’itt Kellogg
and John A. Logan and James G. Blaine
aud Stephen W. Dorsey could have offices
for the asking, and were not backward
about coming forward and asking for
them, it was natural that a good many
men and women should get into the
public service who were totally unfitted
to perform the duties of their respective
offices. Some of them eould neither read
intelligibly nor write legibly, and some
could not read or write at all. Of course
the only W'ay to hold their offices (except
in case of an occasional sinecure) was to
hire somebody to do their work for a share
—ordinarily very small—of the pay. So
we had clerks who never appeared at
their office, where their duties were per
formed by people to whom they paid a
third or a fourth of their salary, pocket
ing the difference themselves. Of course
their substitutes did not do the work as it
ought to have been done. It was a loose,
unbusiDcss like arrangement at besl,
and at its worst it was
simply confusion and corruption. An
other trick under ttie substitute system
was to make a substitute appointment
whenever a clerk was abseut sick and
compel him to divide a whole month’s sal
ary with the substitute, even if the latter
only served a week. This was the favor
ite practice of those depariment, heads
who were always trying to provide ful
some striker who bad hung on here waiting
for a permanent appointment until he bad
exhausted bis ready money and the pa
tience of his friends. When Gov. Thomp
son took hold ot his new duties he found
that the substitute system had be
come so rooted in the Treasury De
partment as to be considered one
of its established features. Some clerks
had been absent from their desks for a
year and a half, and the department did
not really know whether they were dead
or alive. The substitutes had practically
succeeded to the positions held by their
principals without the formality of a Civil
Service Commission examination. They
asked for annual leaves, they claimed all
the perquisites of regular olerks, and
they had even come to be regarded by
their division chiefs as fixtures. Now it
is obvious that this is all wrong; yet it
has been running on for fifteen years or
more, and it would undoubtedly have run
on for fifteen years more bad not the peo
ple changed the administration of the
government. Gov. Thompson cut the
knotty tangle in a characteristic manner.
He addressed a note to each of the princi
pals for whom substitutes weretuTnished,
running thus: “Sir—You will report tor
duty Nov. 15, 1888, at 9a. m.” This will
end the matter.
ABOUT STEWART S BODY.
AY. A. Croffut Publishes Information
He Got at a Dinner Table.
from tha New York World .
Washington, Oct. 31.—W. A. Croffut.
editor of the Sunday Post, telJs to-day
the following story of tho return of the
stolen remains of the late A. T. Stewart.
He says he had the story from a member
of the Hilton family at a dinner party. Lie
says:
“It was a couple of years anterior to
that, 1 think my informant said, that the
hones were finally ransomed. Judge
Hilton persistently ’refused to consent to
it, and at last, when Mrs, Stewart de
claim! herself unable any longer to carry
the burden of the ghastlv thought that the
remains of her husband wore being carted
around the country by a gang of thieves,
she defied her lawyer’s scruples and con
cluded negotiations.
“Mrs. Stewart gave $20,C00 instead of
the $30,000 at first demanded. The bar
gain was made through a lawyer who
seemed to have no other briefs, and who
probably got a good fraction of the ‘swag.’
The ghouls insisted that the money should
be delivered to them on a lonely bill in
Westchester county at the dead of nleht.
Thither, in accordance with their direc
tions, a relative of Airs. Stewart journeyed
alone in a w agon, which ho drove hintsi If.
At a spotin the country road which had
not been designated or described the
driver was suddenly halted by a masked
horseman. Tnis mysterious messenger
led him through a hy-laue to the hilltop,
where, aitor certain precautions to in
sure their safety, they received the
$23,000, examined it, and then dragged a
hag of bones from another buggy near by
and surrendered it to the keeping of tho
solitary traveler. Before they disap
i peareil down one sido of tuo lull they com
! inanded him, on peril of bis life, to
turn about and descend the other slope.
He did as be was bidden and got to N’ew
York before morning.
"i he next night the bones were com
mitted to tho vault under the
great cathedral nt Garden City,
whioh had already been connected
by a secret wire with a chime
of bells sure to ring and alarm the town
if it, was disturbed. So now the mortal
remains of the great merchant-millionaire
and those of his patient, enduring, frugal
uiki affectionate wile of sixty years rest
side by side.”
