T^ey wi re Boston is aghast at the developments from day to day of the enormous forgeries of the Rev. and Hen. Kara D. Winslow. Fresh evidences of his duplicity are con tinually coming to light, all of which tend to strengthen the belief that as a shrewd, artful, calculating and unmerciful rogue he has not a superior on the criminal cal endar. The full extent of his forgeries will not be known for some time yet, probably. It is thought that the amount of forged paper will foot up nearly $600,000. At least twenty national banks have been bit ten by him, and a number of savings banks in different parts of the State have been victimized. The following particulars of the career and crimes of this remarkable swindler are gleaned from the Boston pa pers : Winslow’s first forgeries, as far as ascer tained, date back to May of last year. ■Since that time he must have negotiated paper to the amount of half a million, for there is still almost half of that in the hands of those who will lose the full amount on the face of the notes. Some of these have single endorsers, and some four or five, his favorite endorser having been Mr. K F. Potter, formerly president of the Boston Post Company, of which he was treasurer until a few days ago, and Mr. Sheldon, manager of the Evening News, of which he was the sole owner.

Potter and received the note, he said: ‘ You need n6t count it>, for it came from the Exchange Bank.” The money was counted and found to be correct. WINSLOW THFN BURST INTO TEARS, and said he had been sorely pressed, but he thanked God he was now out of his difficulties. Mr. Potter then said to him : “Winslow, how much more of this kind of paper have yon put upon the market ?” Winslow assured Mr. Potter that was the only piece, saving: “Ido not know why I did such a thing, but I supposed it would not be known, for l have made arrange ments with a savings hank for a loan, and at last I am now out of all my difficulties.” Winslow was very much excited about the matter, and after assuring Mr. Potter that this was the first departure from vir tue’s path, urged him to keep silent about the matter, and to write to Mr. Poland and enjoin secrecy upon him. He asked Mr. Potter if he thought his intended visit to New York was with a view oi get ting clear? to which Mr. Potter replied that he had not thought of it in that light, but he was determined he should not go to New York that day if the note was not taken up. how ni hot $2,000 Winslow’s plausible manner did much for him in his business transactions. He was a great borrower, and had a faculty of obtaining money from quarters where oth ers could not.

Sheldon replied that he had just telegraphed to R. Hoe & Co. about the new press they were building for them, and Winslow said he would go in and see them, and have the business attended to. On that evening he, with his wife and son and wife’s sister, took passage for New York. The next day (Thursday) Sheldon received a dispatch from him, about II o’clock in the morning, as follows: “All right; will be back to morrow.” THE RASCALITY DISCOVERED. Winslow did not return on Thursday or Friday, and on Saturday, to the astonish ment of Mr. Sheridan, the business man ager, Mr. Porter appeared in the office, allowing him a complete bill of sale of the whole establishment, and continued him in his place as business manager. Later in the day a gentleman informed him that he had his indorsement on one of Mr. Winslow’s notes for $55,000. Mr. Sheldon's astonishment was only equalled by that of the creditor when told that his indorse ment was a forgery. Finding that Wins low was gone, no one knew where, he was by no means calm enough to keep his own counsel, and, by Monday, rumors had be come certainty, and every one knew that Winslow had committed forgeries to an enoimous extent. Winslow’s claim to he considered THE “SMARTEST MAN IN YANKEEDOM” will hardly be disputed. The history of his successful schemes for money-raising shows that education has helped one man to be a most consummate rascal. Every thing was planned to prevent any discov ery of his “little game,” and when by ac cident it was revelled to one or two, the means of preventing any disclosure were never wanting. Those gentlemen whose notes were often on the street, and w hose sign-manual w as recognized as valuable as that of Treasurer New on State street, were used very liberally, but yet with muci. discretion. Mr. Winslow, however, found that even his persistent persuasiveness could not induce every acquaintance to give or take a note ; and he resorted to very ingenious devices to raise money. A good deal of paper has been in circulation purporting to be that of the Hon. Francis B. Hayes. The business acquaintances of that gentleman know that he is not given to circulating paper bearing his name, and, in fact, Mr. W’inslow knew this as well as any one else. Bnt, with great shrewdness, the arch forger set about his work. He would go to a man with an air of great secrecy, saying that Mr. Hayes did not wish to have his name appear in connection with his plan to borrow, that THE NOT* WAS GIVEN AS A GREAT FAVOR to himself, Winslow, and that he felt that the recipient of the note ought to recognize the fact that the favor was extended to him also. In most cases Mr. Winslow’s plausi ble statement was accepted without a de mur. At one time one of these notes was refused by one from whom Winslow tried to obtain the needful, who possibly suspec ted that there was some deception in the matter. Bnt he was led by Winslow's ur gent request to say nothing to Mr. Hayes about the presentation of the note. And so it happened that the secret of the for gery was locked up in the bosoms of Wins low’s victims. Not an intimation that any of his paper wasin circulation reached Mr. Hays until the denouement of the great farce, when he was astonished by the .pre sentation of the notes bearing his name. Not a scrap of paper purporting to be sign ed by him and put upon the market is genuine, and had it not been fur the im plicit following of the forger’s advice by his victims, the truth might have been known weeks ago. HOW WINSLOW WAS CHECKMATED BY MR. POTTER. The details of his operations on Mr. A. P. Potter, president of the Maverick Na tional Bank, are as follows: Several months ago a note of Winslow’s, endorsed by Mr. Chamberlain, was discounted at the bank for $1,200, and was paid at ma turity. Mr. Winslow frequently made ap plication to Mr. Potter for money, who re fused him on the ground that he was not acquainted with the financial standing of the endorsers. On the 12th of this month he offered several pieces of paper, but Mr. Potter declined them. The next day Win slow called again and said he wanted $6,000, and he would give his note with D. E. Poland's endorsement. Mr. Potter said that he would take it, but Winslow- added that he had not yet obtained the endorsement, as Mr. Poland was very par ticular about the collateral which he was to receive for signing his name. Mr. Potter said that when he obtained the name of Mr. Poland it would be all right. Mr. Pot ter, meeting Mr. Poland on the street on the same day, made the inquiry if he was GOING TO ENDORSE WIN8LOW a NOT*, to which Mr. Poland replied ti at Winslow had urged him to do so, and had prom ised to give him security. On the 16th, which was Saturday, Mr. Winslow brought the note for $6,000, endorsed with the name of D. E. Poland. The interest was a matter of some dispute, and Mr. Wins low was strenuous for a low rate. Mr. Potter having been assured by Winslow that Mr. Poland had at last accepted his collaterals, was not even suspicious of any thing wrong. Mr. Potter took the precau tion of letting Mr. Poland know that he had discounted the note, and placed the note in his pocketbook, and on Monday called at his place of business. He was not in. On Tuesday be called again, but Mr. Poland was absent. On Wednesday he addressed a line to Mr. Poland asking him to drop into the Maverick Bank as he went home. Mr. Poland called about 2:30 on that day, the 19th instant, and was in formed by Mr. Potter that Winslow had been fortunate in satisfying him as re gards the collateral, for he had discounted the note. The note was produced and the endorsement was at once pronounced a forgery. The astonishment of Mr. Pot ter knew no bounds when his friend met again, and the inquiry was made if Winslow had returned the money, to which the gentleman replied that he had seen Winslow and had had an hour’s conversation with him, and that he said it would be a very great accommoda tion to him il he could have the use of it a short time longer. “But did you get the money ?” said the friend. “No,” said the gentleman, “hut Winslow succeeded in getting $1,500 more out of me.” It is now- suspected that much of what is called “forged paper,” negotiated by Mr. Win slow, has genuine names upon it. It is known that in some instances men have been induced to sign notes because other strong names were upon them, and it is quite probable that much of his paper con tains both forged and genuine names. Bo much for Winslow’s business rela tions. His method of living was certainly extravagant, even ii the way in which he raised money is considered. His house at Anbumdaie was insured for $17,000, and was considered one of the linest estates in town. That the furniture was of unusual elegance may he seen from the fact that it was insured for $20,000, and there was no charge of over-valuation. The house be longed to 3. N. Pulsifer, who had all the policies of insurance on it. Some oi toe policies on tiie furniture had been adjusted by the companies in which the risks were placed. One of these adjusted claims he obtained the money for, but, not content with this, he hypothecated the same claim as security to a private party. Another of these insurance claims he sold to two dif ferent parties. Winslow was a man of quick intelligence, of ready and entertain ing speech, and a genial manner which had A£OUT THOSE BONDS Au Important Paper on a Vital Subject -Lsskinv I p itie Nlulnf Cou pon*—A Voice from Headquarter*.

From the reply of the Treasurer made February 25, 1875, and which was then transmitted to the House oi Representatives, the following extract is taken: “In answer to a resolution of the House of Representatives inquiring as to the disposal of the $1,200,000 eight per cent-bondsismied under an act of tiie 19th A REIGN OF TERRORISM. Tbc Revenue Trouble* in Gilmer—A Mam meeting of the People—An Appeal to the I*etcl*'lnture and to loHyrew. The Cartersville Express has the follow ing article, apropos of a subject already discussed in these columns: The enforcement, of the revenue laws in remote counties from railroads is subjec ting the people of those counties to a great deal of trouble and expense--not to illicit distillers, hut to good and respectable citizens.

In the pulpit he spoke with fervor and an easy eloquence of the kind tiiat has its spring in the sentiment. Although he has not for several years been settled over a parish, he frequently appeared in the pul pit, and two or three years ago was active iu the organization of a religious society in Brooklyn. Why he left the ministry to engage in business ami politics we do not know. It could not be on account of physical disability, for not one minister in fifty does so muefi work as lie has done to accumulate a fortune and obtain political honors. In politics he belonged to the class of men w ith numerous personal fol lowers whose services they can command whenever they want an office, without much regard to what use they make of power. winslow’s last fublic appearance as a preacher was at Auburndale on Sun day morning of last week, when he deliv ered a sermon which is described by those who heard it as a masterly production, full of eloquence, pathos ana high moral sen timent. its theme being the good that is to be found among men, the nobleness of hu man nature, and the duty of men to their fellow-men. In the afternoon lie address ed the children of the Sunday-school on their duties to each other and to their God. He last appeared at a public dinner at the annual dinner of tiie Athenian Club, w hen he responded very humorously to the toast of “Original Sin.” HIS ESCAPE. As already announced by telegraph, it has been definitely ascertained that Win slow has left the country and is now safe beyond the reach of the criminal authori ties of the United States. It was suppos ed that he intended going to some port in Brazil, probably Rio de Janeiro, as some weeks before tiie expose of his swindling operations he told a friend in Boston that he intended spending the winter in Brazil with his family. He had also consulted a celebrated lawyer in Boston, who is known as authority on international law, as to what countries in Europe and in .South America a forger would he free from mo lestation owing to the non-existence of ex tradition treaties with the United States, giving as a reason for his desiring such information that he wished to write an ed- torialjn reference to the case of Lucius W. Pond, the forger, of Worcester, Mass., nowin prison. The detectives in New York on Wednesday last learned that the steamer itotterdam sailed for Rotter dam on Friday morning, and that Win slow and his family were passengers on the steamer. Mr. Fitz Morris, who has charge of the list of passengers sailing in the first cabin, stated that on Thursday a man answering in every particular the de scription of Winslow called at the office and desired to engage passage on the steamer Rotterdam for himself, his wife, son, and a sister-in-law, and asked partic ularly if the steamer would sail positively th it afternoon, but was informed that the steamer would be detained until early Fri day morning. Winslow appeared very much disappointed when he heard this, aud left the office without engaging pas sage. In the afternoon he returned and made further inquiries about the steamer, asking among other things if she carried the Dutch or American flag, and whether he could take his family on board at once and be allowed to remain until the steam er sailed. He was told that the steamer CARRIED TUB DUTCH FLAG, and he Could go on hoard as soon as he pleased after engaging and (laying his pas sage. Ha thereupon engaged passage for four persons, aud during the afternoon went on board the steamer, and remained there during the night. The steamer sailed for Rotterdam at 7 o’clock on Friday morn ing, and is due at her destination on Feb ruary 2d. Detective Dearborn had in his possession a photograph jf Winslow, and to make sure that lie was the man spoken of as having sailed in the Itotterdam, the picture was shown to Mr. Morris, mixed tip with ten atbef cartes de visites of dif ferent persons. Mr. Morris unhesitatingly selected the photograph of "Winslow as that of the person who had purchased the tick eta from him for passage on the Rotterdam As there is no extradition treaty between the United States and Holland, tiie fugitive is perfectly safe. It lias also been ascer tained that on the day Winslow engaged passage on the Dutch steamer he pur- cliased at a banking house on Broadway- a draft on Rotterdam for 3,700guilders. He bought the passage tickets, and also the draft, under the name of John Clifton. It is also stated that Winslow had with him a box containing $200,000, chiefly in gold coin, which he nad placed in the specie room on the steamer before sailing. is to the persons to whom they were dis posed of, as unlike registered bunds being payable to bearer, and not hav ing been required by law, no regular record have ever been kept of the persons Applying for exchangeor purchase.” Since the date of that reply no specific informa tion in regard to the disposition of said bonds have been received by me, until about the time of removal of the late Treasurer from office. He then informed me that he had found in the vault of the Treasury a book containing a partial state ment of the sale of said bonds. Upon the receipt of the resolution to which this is an answer, inquiry was made of the Treasurer for said book, but it cotild not be found. Learning that it was in the possession of the late Treas urer, the Treasurer has requested its re turn to the treasury. This request was complied with, and examination of this record shows that of the $1,200,000 bonds issued, $1,089,250 sold to various persons, and $50,000 was sent to the Fourth Na tional Bank of New York. Of the remain ing $60,750,00, the names of purchasers do not ap|>ear. The enquiry for wiiat they were sold, can best be answered by the following extract from the annual report of the Treasurer submitted to the Gover nor January 1st, 1874: Referring to the sale of bonds issued under authority of the act, approved Feb ruary 19, 1873,the Treasurer said: “These bonds were advertised but a few days when the demand for them ca«ie up from our ow n people, and before they w ere pre pared for issue the funds had been re ceived and certificate issued for near $200,000, and this a little over a month after their advertisement. Holders of old bonds of the State past due aud unpaid, seeing the confidence with which these bonds were taken at home, began to send in their bonds tor exchange in terms of the advertisement, and before tiie end of the summer full two-thirds of the new bonds had been dis posed of at par. The announcement of this fact, as well as the acknowledged ex cellence of the securities, increased the demand at home and elsewhere, and 1 have now the sincere pleasure to report and show to your Excellency- ttiat they are all disposed of—that they have been sold at par, and that the expenses of their sale, from the engraving and printing of the bonds to the postage and express fees in negotiating and •miding them away, have scarcely exceeded three-fourths of one per cent. The book does not contain, and I have not been able to ascertain from any other source the dates of the sale or ex change of these bonds. The record is quite voluminous, but it has been deposi ted in the Treasurer’s office, and is subject to the order of the General Assembly. James M. Smith. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE HOUSE.

The Canadian Government is to be in formed that the case of the Dominion Par liament’s bill, creating a Supreme Court of the Dominion, which debars an appeal to the Privy Council of England, must be repealed. 1 i YESTERDAY 1H CONGRESS.

Week before last a “raid” was made in Gilmer, commanded by Captain C. B. Blacker, deputy marshal and special col lector, supported by his special deputy marshals, Juan Anglin and Eblin, Captain Ware, deputy collector, and Sergeant Wells, with three United States soldiers, Win. O’Grady, Newnan and Lyon, and gnided by parties named Auiiey and Early. The first attack was on the premises of Thomas Jones, on Boardtown. Jones was arrested, his dwelling house searched, two teacups of whiskey found, seized and drank hv the raiders. Thomas Jones, who was sicl, in bed, was carried off, although no distillery or whiskey was found on the premises, except about a pint—liis wife and daughters insulted by ruffians enter ing their bed-rooms at night when they were in bed aud asleeo. From there a squad proceeded to Mr. John Emory’s, where they found four neighbors in the still house waiting for tbe moon to give light so as to go ou home. These citizens, Haliford, Leatherwood, Rogers and Bission, were arrested with out warrant or authority of law, because they were found sitting by the fire, but not engaged in running the still. These citizens were s-arched for arms, aud al though they disclaimed anv interest or connection with ti e distillery, and told who the owner was, they were placed un der guard and not allowed to move or get off their seats. A guard was then placed at the door of the still house, Mr. Emory, whose dwelling was about fifty yards dis tant, was at once notified by a neighbor that the revenue officers were in the neighborhood, and ran to his distillery, and was shot dead without being challen ged or notified that anv one was in his distiller except his neighbors. The life less coi jise was dragged into the creek, and brush and logs thrown over it. The stiff was then thrown down, beer and mash tubs cut to pieces, aud Mrs. Emory’s wash pot broken to pieces. Haillord, Leather- wood, Rogers and Sisson were handcuffed and marched to Emory’s house. Sergeant Wells cut red the house, filled two jugs with brandy from a keg holding less than five gallons (am? it was all that was in the house), burst the keg and wasted the re mainder in the floor, cursed and swore and left. The following is another extract from the proceedings: On the mornii.gof tbe 15th, Mrs. Emory was led to tiie body ol her dead husband, by seeing his fiat flouting in the creek. An inquest was held and warrants issued for the arrest of the criminals. As law-abid ing citizens we have appealed to the law, and by the decision of the law will we abide, hut this w ill give us no relief un less the leaders and instigators of this horrible tragedy are checked. To this end we appeal to the General Assembly of Georgia, now in session, and ask them to take such steps as will afford us protection. We appeal to our members of Congress and ask them to bring the matter to the attention of the Federal authorities and ask protection for us from the Federal government. The foregoing facts we gather from the proceedings of a large meeting held last week in Elijav, comprising some of the best citizens in the county. We can not doubt the truth of the statements made It is a sad reflection upon free government where the execution of the public laws are attended with such acts as those recited. The revenue collectors are bound to en force the laws, but they are not bound to insult and murder in the performance of their duties. They are not bound to en ter the bed-rooms of respectable ladies in the night time for such purposes. Such ruffianly conduct ought to be repelled by the people if tliev can have protection in no other way. It is a shame and disgrace, and an outrage upon a free people to sub ject them to such outrageous conduct on the part of Federal officials and soldiers. If the Legislature, now in cession, does not take proper action in regard to such conduct, it will not deserve the respect of au honest people. It is an outrage upon private rights and public liberty tiiat ought to meet the sternest condemnation and due punishment, and we hope to see the viola tors properly dealt with. The Prim a Donna who is to Eclipse 1’atti and Nilsson.—Paris letters tel! us about a remarkable singer who gives promise of being tiie successor to Patti and Nilsson on the world’s operatic throne. Her name is Mile, de Reszke, the young and beautiful prima donna of the Grand Opera, the rising star, of whom it is said that Strakosch offered her one hundred thousand dollars if she would cancel her engagement with M. H. Haranzier and sign one for three years with him. She is a member of a noble Polish family resi ding in Warsaw. From her earliest years she manifested a past-ion for music; she devoted herself to its study ; and, when she was seventeen years old, she announ ced her intention of studying for the opera. All remonstrance and oppo sition from her parents were in vain. “If you forbid me to become a singer, I will obev you,” she said, “but you will ruin my life f” Finally she announced her de termination of entering a convent should her parents persist in their opposition to her adopting her chosen career.

SENATE. Washington, February 4.—Seventy-one petitions have btjen received from workingmen, and others, for subsidy to the Texas Pacific railroad. Clayton called up a repeal of the restriction lan i sales but Frelinghuysen said Bruce, who was sick, wiahed to examine the bill. It went over. A personal explHnation by Sargent showed that the counsel for members of the Board of Public Works, to defend their transactions, were paid by district bonds. The Committee on Patent* reported favorably on the bill toexieud the p&teuts for shaping heels on boots and shoes. Hamilton introduced a bill givlug the Court of Claims jurisdiction to he&r aud determine claims of lawful owners or their legal representatives of cot ton, seized after the Wtn of June, 1B65, by agents or officers of tbe government where it shall appear to give satisfaction to tae omi:t; til\t the seizure was made by a military officer or the treasury <iguat, aud that the prucee U of sue i s. iz.ire were duly ac counted for to the government, when the court shall rentier judgm -ut in tavorof the claimant for (he uet proceeds of ms cotton, and if it shall appear to the court that the ui litary oilijera and agents of the government faile l to rep rt accuiately the names of persons from whom the seizures were made, and whether they we.e mode according to law and their iustruc i >*, or the locality from which thi oo.toa so seize 1 was taken, then the court shatl run ier judgment in ftiVs.r of the claimants for sum a proportion ot the number ot bales seized from him which bears to the w hole Dumber of bales of cotton seized aft r the 30th of June, 1$S5, aud which arrived at port in th_* state in which claimant alleges hi* cotton wai* taken after seizure aud the proceeds of which are bti.l re tained in the treasury.

On motion of Cameron, the Senate wt at into ex ecutive session and adjourned to Monday. that the young girl’s wi’l was inflexible, and preferring to keep their daugiiter with them as a prima donna rather than to part with her wholly as a nun, the father ami mother finally yielded, anil six months ago Mademoiselle de Reszke made her debut at the Grand Opera in the role of Ophelia. Her success was immediate and incontestable, and, in fact, she has been hailed as the only rising star in that gal axy of waning luminaries, the company of the Grand Opera. Owing to her birth, har beauty, her unspotted reputation and her rapidly increasing fame, all the fashionable salons of Paris have been thrown open to her, but she refuses to mingle with society, cares nothing for amusements, and Is wholly and solely absorbed in the pursuits oi her art. She is an indefatigable student, and is never discouraged or distressed by adverse criticism, but takes it, on the con trary, as a valuable Indication for future improvement. “If the critics say that I failed in such or such a passage,” she is wont to Bay, "there must be something wrong, and I will try toset it right.” There- unon she shuts herself up with the music of the part in question. Mile, de Resxke is just nineteen; site is tall and graceful, with the loveliest arms and shoulders im aginable ; her features are mobile and piquant, her eyes are large and dark, while her profuse tresses, or at least their stage presentment, are of a golden blonde hue. Her voice is a clear, powerful, resonant soprano. HOUSE. On motion of Dougla&s, a number of gentlemen connected with ?hc Bureau of imiuuratiju were admitted to seats on th? flair of the House.
