New Yore, Nov. 27.—E. C.

Signatures of Preuldonts Cut Out of Docti uidiits at Washington. Washington, Nov. 27. —Tho whole sale investigation throughout the exec utive departments as to the stamp thefts has resulted in finding even worse rav ages than were at first discovered in tho treasury. Another element has crept into the situation, as it,is learned that the autograph fiends, too, hgve been at work among the files. This vandalism, so far as is yet known, seems to have i been practiced principally in the interi or department. In the investigation by the secret ser vice men it has been discovered that the signatures of many great men, long since dead, especially presidents of tho United Sta tes, were affixed to papers in, the laud office. Some of these, were ac cordingly examined, with the result that scores of autographs have, been found to be missing from them. Abra ham Lincoln’s autograph has been es pecially sought after. These papers are stowed away in the file, and it is hardly once n year that any of them are needed, so that discov ery of mutilation, in f he ordinary course of official routine, was improbable. The papers have been, in many instances, rendered practically valueless by this mutilation, which is a very serious mat ; ter. ' __ vVANT BETTER ROADS.
