ItSUSK CoLOMISTS IK THE SOUTH.—
The Colonisation Society of Port Royal,
has entered into a contract with the Ital
ian Labor Exchange at 49 Franklin
itrert, in thia city, by which fifty Italians
are to be sent to Port Royal each month.
Each emigrant is to pay hia passage and
deposit $5 on account for forty acres of
land upon which he ia to nettle. Ten dol
lars is also to bo deposited for each emi
grant's support in case of sickness. The
Pert Royal 8ociety k to furnish farming
and building material. It contains 5,000
son. CbcvalUcr do Luca, the Italian
Consol, thinks that this attempt will sue-
used. Texas seems to him the best place
fur bis conntrymen.
A Dsrtcrr.—Brooklyn was in great
agitation the latter port of last week.
The City Hall was surrounded by ox-
dtsd crowds, and the city offices did not
present their usual array of public fnne-
tioaanos. The truth was a deficit of
lIMfOOO U4 Vwass In ritj

I favorable results from the D-
falminationi of negro conventions
agnimit the Radical party, bceanse, os
they allege, it has neglected their claims
to office. It is not a* very long since 187S,
that the Liberals should forget tke delu
sions of that campaign—how extimaivcly
Mr. Greeley was going to divide tho ne
gro vote—nor their profound mortifica
tion when the votes were caonted.
The negro voter is es .-ntiallv a bad
voter. He is incapable of intelligent suf
frage, and, if he has the intelligence and
judgement to cast a sound vote, ho would
never do it. He gravitates naturally to
wards a stealing, corrupt and venal pub
lic Administration, and will, as a general
rul-, always vote that way.
Democrats and Liberals waste their
breath and deceive themselves by cSorts
to conciliate negpo support and co-opera
tion. It will never come. But the peo
ple of the United States will not perma
nently assent to a popper and salt admin
istration of the government. They will
never agree to put negroes in oScc, and
when Sambo makes himself sufficiently
noisy and troublesome in his scrambles
for office, hia white allies will suddenly

Accobdiku to “ Hangman Foote,” Jake
Thompson found himaclf, at the close of
the war, with $200,000 of Confederate
funds (gold) in bis custody, and pro
ceeded to divide with Jeff Davis, Jmluh
P. Benjamin and others. Tho story may
lie true, but it will take better evidence
than the unsupported word of Foote to
make many believe it.—Springfield fh-jmi-
laeim.
True for you, Mr. Uowlea. Wo ore
glad to sco that old Foote is so correctly
approeiated up in Massachusetts. We
havo no earthly doubt that the wretched
old creature lie < —under a mistake in this,
as in all other matt ers concerning Mr.
Davis, Mr. Thompson and other gentle
men of Mississippi whom he is now slan
dering jn the Washington Chronicle for
tho delectation of the Shack Nasty party
at so much per column. Mr. Thompson,
as wo have heard, ii in comfortable cir
cumstances, but not by fixe mean < old
Footo charges. The^atter only supposes
Mr. Thompson acted ns he (Foote) would
have done under similar circumstances.
No, not that either. Footo would havo
kept all the money.
Southern Lands—Why so Low ?
Before the war, says tho Richmond Dis
patch, the abolitionists and Northern peo
ple generally said that the low pries of
Southern lands was caused by slavery.
Well, wo now have freemen, and our
lands are not worth one-third as much os
they were during the existence of slavery.
What do they say note ? Indeed, some of
the richest Southern lands that fell into
the negro's hands, and that have never
boon returned to their real owners—the
"Sea Islands,” for instance—have been so
poorly tilled that they are grown into
bush. And what do our censors say ?
The
Death or Shadbach Waub.— We
liaro from Marshalvillo that Mr. Sho-
drnch Ware died in that place yesterday
swelling »t 6 o'clock*and tho funeral will
take place from his residence this morn
i»g st ten o'clock. He will be buried in
the cemetery at MoraholTille. Mr. Wore
was among the ablest and best citisens of
Haem county—« man of sterling integ
rity, great enterprise and wealth. Ho
will be much missed.
The London Saturday Review takes
up tho figures of the United Stabs eon
tus, and says that “adding to the local
iaxation and indebtedness, the taxation
and debt of the Federal Government, it
is plain that per head the thirty-eight
millions of citisens of thcUnited States are
by far the most heavily taxed and most
deeplj indebted people in the world.'
A eaexxb at Lampasar, Texas, thought'

Graves of tho Virginia
Presidents.
A Richmond correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Commercial writes as follows on
thk subject. Certainly such a condition
of affairs is not very much to tho credit
of the Virginians:
Monroe and Tyler are buuriod in
Hollywood Cemetery in thk city. The
plainest of cenotaphs covers the grave of
the former and nut is eating off tho dis
mal colored paint that onco protected the
iron. Tylers grave is entirely unmarked
on>l rank week* and tall grass luxuriate
around it and obscure it from sight. The
Legislature begged his family to allow
his remains to do interred here and prom
ised to erect over them a suitable monu
ment. bnt the Treasury has been eo empty
and legislators so engaged with other
matters that no step has yet been taken
in that direction. Thanks to tho ladica
of the Mount Vernon Association the
tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon,
in Westmoreland county, k well cared
for and is still visited by people from all
ports of the world who reTcre the memo
ry of the “Father of his Country.” Jeff
erson is buried on hk old estate, Monticel-
lo, near Charlottesville. The simple shaft
that covers tho grave has been pecked
and chopped by relic hunters, and grass
and weeds are allowed to grow about it
undisturlied. Madison sleeps at Mont-
lelicr, in Madison county, and nothing
ait a simple monument of cheap kind
and poor design points tho curious trav
eler to his resting pkce.
Yjeabs ngo, the late Dr. Spring gave np
hk active ministerial duties, and has since
been settling into a semi-dotage. The
it grief of his life was in the death of
rife—hk life-long partner—soon after
the war commenced. I never shall for
get the touching manner in which he al
luded to her dccoaso npon the follow
ing Sunday from the pulpit, adding that
lie now lived mainly in the hope (God
willing,) of soon King placed by her side
m the vault under the church. To the
surprise of everyone. Dr. Spring, in li
than eleven mouths' time, was off on a
fresh wedding trip to Niagara Falk, hav
ing married a venerable maiden lady
from Hudson, New York, who declared
that she had always lived in hopes of be
coming his wife seme day, or words to
that effort. People who saw the aged
bride and l'ri*lo^rwm on their tour were
much amused at the delicate attention
which they showered upon each other.
The Doctor affectionately addressed his
new bride as “Birdie," and seemingly se
cured in her possession a new lease of
life.—New Tort Letter.
But we sec it stated that he and
“Birdie” separated many years before
hk death, and never saw each other at
all thereafter—and that the cause of the
separation was disagreements and dis
putes about money, of which she had the
largest shore.

from New Orleans to tho Northern papers,
dated the 28th. ulb, says:

—Who They are, ano How Tuttr Ores-
ated.—The Chronicle and Sentinel, of
Sunday, has the Allowing with reference
to the recent “irregularities” on the part
of some of the officials of the Georgia
railroad whose detection anil dismissal has
been previously noted:
She parties implicated in the defalca
tions were H. L. Rhode;, General Freight
Agent; P. W. Printup, Road Master; and
A. S. Shipley, Supervisor. Other super
visors and employes in the Road Master's
department, it was said, had a “finger in
the pie.” Rumor placed tho amount of
the defalcations at a very high figure.
Finally the following abstract of the
auditor's reports was obtained from one
of the director;. Mr. Carlton Hillyer, tho
able and efficient Auditor, first made his
reports to Superintendent Johnson, and
they were afterwards submitted to the
directors at their recent meeting. Both
the reports are lengthy and full. Tho
report in reference to the Road Master's
department shows that the price of wood
has increased in six years from five and
three-fourths to nine and seven-tenths
cents per mile run. The price of wood has
been run up by favoritism and other opera
tions withi vktives and friends of tho Road
Master and Supervisor. A large amount
of lumber lias Ken used for private pur
poses—for houses, barns, etc. A large
quantity of freight lias been hauled free
for the private use of the Road Master
and Supervisor. Wood has been cut off
the company’s land and sold, without re
turning proceeds. Tho Supervisor has
acted as agent for a well known firm in
Atlanta, and carried. a large amount of
groceries to K retailed to the employees
without paying the Georgia Railroad any
freight. The Road Master and Supervi
sor each hod several hands who were paid
by the company, but attended exclusively
to the private work of these officers. Tho
amount paid for stock killed last year
was aKut $12,000, while the amount re
turned to the company for sale of beef,
hides and tallow, was only about $200.
The pay roll in 1807 averaged $17,000,
but in 1873 it had risen to $34,000. Tha
Rood Master has a mill at Union Point,
built at the expense of tlie company, but
operated for his private advantage. Tho
Georgia Railroad carpenters and mate
rial was employed in building a fish trap
at Yellow river for the heads of the road
way department. The Supervisor filled
every office in his gift with rotations and
friends. They farmed a sort of ring to
control tho wood and cross-tie business.
Tho Georgia Railroad owns over five
thousand acres of land, valued at $130,-
000. The timber from this land lias been
used in various ways for the private ad
vantage of the roadway officers ; in some
instances the land was even bought at a
very small figure from the company. In
his report Mr." Hillyer allows the Road
Master some credit for system and accu
racy in the management of his business,
and the same for the Supervisors, but too
many years of uninterrupted control has
led them into the assumption of privile
ges which from mere habit they grow to
claim as their right. Tho Auditor's re
port and accompanying evidence shows
that tho General Freight Agent, Mr. R.
L. Rhodes, seemed to have endeavored
intentionally to throw freight matters fo
ot confusion, so that there might bo a
large amount of unclaimed goods. The
General Freight Agent would pay the
claims for these goods when presented
and afterwards sell tho goods, making no
returns of tho proceeds. This Eystomjhe
regularly carried out, greatly to the a n-
noyance of the merchants, and occasion
ing great loss to tho company. He ren
dered himself popular with some by
granting improper favors and receiving
presents. Mr. Hillyer, in the report,
foes a full list of all the payments which
e has been able to discover of proceeds
from sale of unclaimed freight, paid by
parties in this city to the General Freight
Agent. . Upon ' King questioned by
Colonel Cole, Mr. Rhodes was unable
to give any satisfactory explanation
whatever. On one occasion the Auditor
took out of the General Freight Agent’s
hand; the extra depot pay roll, without
apprising him of the fact until after the
pay roll was made out. In this way he
detected tho General Freight Agent in
entering fictititious names, so as to draw
tho corresponding amount of money. A
very large item of defalcation has been
in the account for transportation of Uni
ted States troops and army supplies. A
statement was obtained from the United
States Government of all payments made
to the General Freight Agent on this ac
count. By this means the discrepancy
was brought to light, and has Ken ac
knowledged by the General Freight
Agent on this* account. The irregu
larities commenced three or four
years ago, and hare continued al
most uninterruptedly until the
commencement of the recent fovestiga-
X in nr railroad accidents have oc
curred within the past month in this
country, nearly all of wluch resulted
from fooompctency and recklessness.
Some central supervision seems to be de-
uiinded over this great interest, which
'hall institute a severe civil servioe re
form among the employes.

tions we were unable to obtain. It must
K seen, however, from the above abstract
of the Auditor’s reports, that the total
amount cannot K a *sr,r small one. It k
raid that the amount obtained by Mr.
Rhodes from the claim against the United
States Government, about three years
ago and which after the deficiency was
discovered and the investigation was pro
ceeding. about a month since he asserted
that he lost in Washington City, was $3,-
500. He afterwards appropriated, it is
also said, a check for about $1500 be
longing to the company, which he
gave a< security for a sum of money bar-*
rowed, according to his statement, to pay
back the amount alleged to have Ken
lost in Washington. It was also discov
ered, by an examination of the books of
Messrs: Bignon A Crump, auctioneers,
that the general freight agent had re
ceived from that firm $600 for unclaimed
freight sold. Of this $600 only a small
sum was returned to the company. When
charged with Him, Mr. Rhodes said it
had been paid out for the company, but
not Ivfog able to produce the receipts,
he obtained the sum mi-cg-i-, on thk ac
count and paid it over to the company.
The amounts of the other defalcations,
we understand, however, the general
freight agent had never returned. After
some discussion, the board of directors
referred the whole matte: to Colonel E.

has never been heard of since, at least to
K of any advantage to his inquiring
friends. It was Kueved at the time of
his disappearance that he had gone to

was a correct supposition. A gentleman

the same Jones who was so good and vir

A detective of Shennan s saw Brown,
who appeared impatient, and was walking
np and down the office. Mr. Sherman en
tered directly alter, and, handing Brown
a Knd, told him ho could do no business
to-day. Brown left, and was arrested by
tlie detective, who found on him a forged
$1,000 Knd of the New Y’ork Central
railroad consolidated stock, and recovered
two similar bonds which hid been left

grant amnesty to the intransigent insur
gents.

The British Cabinet.
Loj*doxAugust 31. — The observer,
in its issue to-day, says the reports which
have been current for several days that
further changes in the Cabinet are about
to occur, are premature, as no decision
will be arrived at until the next meeting
of the Cabinet, which will be held the lat
ter part of September. It is probable,
says the Observer, that the Marquis of
Huntingdon will succeed the Bight Hon.
Wm. Monsell as Postmaster General, and
that Bight Hon. Wm. E. Foster will be
come Chief Secretary for Ireland in place
of the Marquis of Huntingdon.

DAY DISPATCHES.
No Cholera ia New York.
New York, September 1.—The post
mortem examination of the body of an
English emigrant named Edwards, who
was reported to have died from Asiatic
choler, showed the man to havo died of
typhoid fever.
The Bond Forgeries.
The principal operator in the New York
Central bond forgeries is one Charles J.
Williamson, who is believed to bo identi-
tical with the notorious Boss, and he ap
pears to have been dealing through vari
ous brokers to a very great extent, princi
pally in New York Cent nil sixes of 1SN7 ;
New Y’ork Central sixes of 1883, and Buf
falo, Now York, and Erie first mortgage
bonds. Williamson is an outside man,
and whether all these bonds just men
tioned are forgeries or not, or merely
covers by which ho was enabled to issue
forged bonds it is impossible to tell. Tho
detectives think it advisable for any per
sons who have bought any of these classes
of bonds just mentioned, since the date of
the last interest payment, to havo them
examined at tho several offices of tho com
panies and havo their genuineness at
tested.
It is reported in Wall street that a cer
tain bank has been victimized to tho ex
tent of half a million dollars with those
forged bonds, aud it is further reported
that an arrest of several prominent oper
ators in Wall stroet may bo shortly looked
for with refcrenco to this worthless paper.
Since tho arrest of Brown, a large
quantity of tho bogus bonds has been
discovered aa follows: Found on the
person of the prisoner, $30,000; found
with one firm on Broadway, $30,000; with
another firm, $92,000.
It was rumored last night that other
stocks had been counterfeited and that
tho street to-morrow will tell.
Williamson has the alias of H. H. Wil
liams and is said to have been discharged
years ago from the position of book-keeper
to Brooks Brothers for peculation and
forgery. Every effort is being made to
secure his arrest.
The W&\rassct Disaster.
Washington, September 1.—The in
spectors of steamboats have made public
an official report of tho Wawasset disaster.
They recommend the prosecution of tho
Potomac Ferry Company, and the captain
and mate and suspend the engineer. They
charge against the Ferry Company carry
ing more passengers than allowed, and
tho employment of officers who did not
bear certificates. The charges against
the captain and mate are for accepting
places without proper documents. Want
of discipline is generally charged, and
undue anxiety .on the part of the captain
to save the boat instead of tho passen
gers. The Secretary has referred tho re
port to tho Solicitor General for his ac
tion with a view to the prosecution of the
alleged culprits.
Schooner Wrecked.
Norfolk, September 1.—The schooner
Martha, of Bangor, twenty-five days from
Mobile, with a cargo of timber, arrived
in tow of wrecking steamer Besolute.
The schooner sprang a leak during the
storm on the 27th. When taken in tow
she was four miles from the beach—the
sea breaking over fore and aft.
Went Over the Falls.
Beading, Pa., September 1.—A boat
coataining two men and a woman went
over the falls of tho Schuylkill, near Kis-
singen bridge. One man escaped. It is

the falls purposely. The motive is un
known, but ho had had a difficulty with
the drowned woman at a beer garden.
Distillery Burned.
Patoka, Ind., September 1.—Bingham
Bros/ distillery was burned to-day. Loss
$50,000, including 150 bogs, 3,000 bushels
of corn and 40 barrels of whisky.
NIGHT DISPATHES.
Horrible Tragedy in Missouri.
St. Louis, September 1.—A special dis
patch to the Republican from Sedalia,
Missouri, gives an account of a terrible
tragedy, which occurred at Knightly’s
station, on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad, six miles west of Sedalia, on
Saturday last. It appears that Knightly,
who has been laboring under a mental
derangement for some time, killed or
caused tho death of his sister Adelaide,
aged 40 years; and his nephew, Louis
Stobbs, set fire to the house and then
killed himself.
The house occupiod an isolated situa
tion, and' when tho neighbors reached it,
it was a mass of ruins. The charred re
mains of Knightly were found near tho
window with a partly burned shot-gun
at his feet, and tho bodies of his sister
and nephew near the # front door; but so
badly charred that it could not be deter
mined whether they had been killed by
Knightly or were suffocated. The coro
ner’s jury inclined to the latter opinion,
although neighbors testified to having
heard three shots fired while the house
was burning.
Horse Thieves Disposed of.
The same special says two horse thieves
were hanged by a mob in Benton county
Saturday, aud another of the same gang
has been asrested and is now in jail at
Sedalia.
Superintendent Widen, one of the
victims of the explosion of the steamer
Geo. C. Wolff, died hero yesterday.

weather, with rain areas on the coast.
An 11-legal Tender.
The Treasury has discovered the exis
tence of a very dangeous counterfeit of
the $500 legal tender note, last series,
1869. So perfect is its execution that
Treasurer Spinner declares it is calcu
lated to deceive even the most practical,
experts. The note was forwarded here
by the Assistant Treasurer, at New York,
who suspected it, but forwarded it to the
Treasurer for examination by tho expert*
of department. The differences between
the counterfeit and the genuine issue will
be given for the public to-morrow.
Debt Statement.
The debt statement shows a decrease of
six and three-fourth millions; coin in the
Treasury, eighty-seven and one-eight mil
lions ; currency, twelve millions.
Another Potomac Hirer Steamer

Fort Monroe, Ya., September 1.—The
Steamer Ironsides, belonging to the Po
tomac Steamboat Company, which has
been running between Baltimore und
Wilmington, went ashore on Hog Island
Shoals last Friday ni/jht during a thick
easterly gale and rain storm, and has
gone to pieces. Her crew was taken off.
The Cobb Brothers saved the furniture
and tackle . Captain Carter has gone to
Norfolk to get wreckers to try to save
the engine and The * Ironsides
wa* a, sidewi\eel steamer of about a thous
and tons.
Cholera in Kentucky*
Cinc*{nati, September 1.—A letter

burg, Kentucky, say^ the cholera is fear
ful. There were fifteen deaths in town
this morning, and several other persons
will be dead presently. Most of the vic
tims are negroes* There been nearly
i thirty deaths since Thursday last. The
I letter is dated September 1st.
The Trade in Italian Children.
Nlw York, September 1.—The con
vention of Italian societies, in session
here last week, adopted a petition to Con
gress, asking that body to effectually
suppress the traffic in Italian children,
which has been carried on so long by
padrone*, and which is so shameful in
character.
The Bond Forgery.
New York, Leptember 1.—Leonard
Brown, who on Saturday endeavored to
procure the negotiation of $3,000 worth
of forged New York Central railroad
bonds, was arraigned at the Tomb* Po
lice Court tiu* evening. Wooster Sher
man said he received the bonds from
Brown to negotiate, and only knew
i Brown from the Friday previous. Hol
brook, of the firm of Eddy & Co., pro
nounced bond No. 104, submitted to him,
an undoubted forgery.
Fatal Colliery Explosion.
Swansea, September 1.—A colliery ex
plosion t nia morning killed six men.
Cholera.
Wheeling, West Virginia, Septem
ber 1.—There have been three deaths
from cholera here since Saturday.
Prospector a Naval Engagement
London, September 1. — The Times
this morning publishes further particu
lars of negotiations between the British
Tice Admiral Yelverton, and the Carta
gena insurgents in regard to the removal
of the Spanish iron-clads, Almanza and
Victoria. Upon notice from the Admiral
of his intention to take tho vessels, the
insurgents answered that the forts would
open fire upon the British squadron if the
attempt was made. This was on the 28th.
The ram Numancia was brought to an
chor at the entrance of Escombrera bay,
within range of the Lord Warden, the
British flag ship, and the two vessels lay
with their broadsides towards each other.
The Lord Warden carries eighteen
guns, and ia an iron plated screw steamer
of 4,060 tons. The Numancia is an iron
clad steamer, and carries forty sixty-eight
pounders.
On the 29th Vice-Admiral Yelverton
replied that he would allow forty hours
for reconsideration, at the expiration of
which time he would take vessels. On
tho 30th, Senor Aquillas communicated
to Vice Admiral Yelverton tho hope of
Junta, that tlio affair might be amicably
arranged.
No later intelligence has been received
from Cartagena, but it is believed they
will propose a compromise, by which they
should consent to tho removal of tho Al
manza and Victoria, on condition that
they be held at Gibralter under the
guarantee from tho British Commander
not to surrender them to tho Spanish
authorities until tho difference betwoen
to the Madrid Government and the Junta
of Cartegena is settled. There is little
doubt that insurgents will attack the
British fleet if they attempt to remove
tho Spanish vessels without coming to
bomo agreement.
Ffirthcr from Cartagena.
Madrid, September 1.—Tho members
of tho insnrgent Junta, at Cartagena,
already reported arrested by Galvez, one
of their colleagues, aro Sauvalle, the in
surgent Minister of Finance, and General
Contreras, President of tho Junta. The
latter was quickly released. Tho canso
of his arrest is not known. SauvaUo is
charged by Galvez with having altered
iind falsified a communication of Vico
Admiral Yelverton to the Junta. It
seems that, in the beginning of the af
fair with the British commander, Sau
valle was named by tho Jnnta to carry on
tho negotiations on their boualf.
The Situation at Cartagena*
Madrid, September 1.—Bear Admiral
Alden has gone to Barcelona in the flag
ship Wabash. Tho English residents
have all fled from Cartagena, in anticipa
tion of an attack from General Campos
upon the insurgents. The provisions of
tho rebels in tho town are nearly exhaust
ed and the men ore marauding on shops
and private houses to obtain food.
. Among tho many reports circulated
concerning tho intention of Don Carlos
in the event of his success, is one that ho
has promised the priests to re-establish
tho inquisition.
The Carlists- •
Batonne, September 1.—Tho Carlist
troops have entered tho town of Contari-
zie, and are threatening Caspe, in tho
province of Saragossa, which is garrisoned
by a small body of Republican trooops.
The Carlists claim that desertion from
the Republican ranks aro very frequent,
and most of the deserters take service for
Don Carlos.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Leonard Brown Forgery Case.
New York, August 1.—In tho case of
Leonard Brown after hearing the testi
mony of Messrs. Sherman and Holbrook,
tho court adjourned until to-morrow,
when Brown will be examined. Tho in
vestigation thus far shows the forgeries
are confined to New York six sevens of
1876, and Buffalo, New York, and Erie
first mortgage bonds. About 126,000 of
the latter, and far as can be ascertained
havo been placed on the market.
A report was prevalent on Wall street,
that a bank has lost heauily by these for
geries, and that a small broker firm hasc
suffered to the amount of 10,0005
Jas. W. Johnson was yesterday arrest
ed, having in his possession four $1,000
forged bonds of the Buffalo, New York
and Erie roailroad.
Capt. Walsh and betectivo Elder, who
made the arrest, subsequently ascertained
where Johnson had disposed of $26,000
in the same bonds.
The assets ‘of City Treasurer Sprague,
of Brooklyn, now in the hands of a con
troller, amount to $200,000, and his seven
bondsmen promise to make good any de
ficit. Rodman, Sprague’s assistant, re
mains in jail. Tax Collector Burroughs
denies the charge of Warren, tho expert
accountant—that moneys collected in his
department have been withheld for
months from the treasury.
The forged Buffalo, Now York and
Erie bonds sold by Johnson, arrested
yesterday, were so admirably executed
that they were pronounced genuine at
several banks, the Stock Exchange, and
the office of the Erie Railway Company.
Even the printer of the originals was de
ceived when shown the counterfeits.
Captain Walsh, of the city police, lately
discovered that conspiracy had been
formed to launch upon .the market a
great number of theso bonds, and a plan
was arranged by which the organizers of
the conspiracy, three in number, were to
be entrapped this afternoon. The dis
coveries of forged bonds Saturdayjfright-
ened away the conspirators, and the plans
failed. The officers, however, succeeded
in capturing Johnston. Williamson, who
attempted to negotiate the forged New
York Central bonds Saturday, is believed
to be one of the men who escaped.
Sub-Treasury Payments.
The Sub-Treasurer paid out to-day
$107,000, on account of interest, and
$G0,000 for called bonds.
