COOKE, with whom Dr. Miller offices. bas vaid some at- tention to the case, and is prevaring a paper on it for one of the medical journals. In a brief talk with the Doctor yesterday afternoon, he expressed his understanding of the case and his or of the anti-fat remedies somewhat after ¢his fashion: **Ten days before her death, Miss Latimer met an old acquainance, who was also annoyed by obesity, aud informed her: that she had received “a prescription from a_physician at the East, by taking which she would be en- abled to reduce her flesh very rapidly, and, at the same time, be allowed to indulge her ap- petite to her heart’s content. She thouent, of course, that such would be_a very desirable state of affalrs. If it worked successfully, she would give her friend & copy of the prescrintion. You mav etate through ‘TUR TRIBUNT, on my authority, that, after a careful examination of this subject, I am fully prepared to warn the public that there is 1o urue known which possesses this propecty of reducing fiesh,—no_drug which ean be_salutary for anv cage, and which must be unsafe for all. Banung’s system, with its different modifica- tions, is the only one yet discovered which can have the desired effect. Anything else means dauger 1o the constitution, if not to life.” * Banting's system is one of dietmg, is it noti” “Itis wholly dietary, discarding all sub- stances containing sugar, starch, etc., and any- thing, in short, calculated to induce adipose tissue. Any physician who is at all postea i3 cnabled to lay down certain rules of diet which will be efficacious in such cases.” * ** Have you auy doubt that Miss Latimer’s death was'caused by using this stuff1" * Noue at all, if Dr. Miller's deseription of her symptoms is correct. You know about ber coming down-town, her drowsiness, her wander- ing around aimlessly aud dull, and her return late at night. Then we have the emetic effects {ully developed, which simulated very naturally a case of cholera morbus. First there is a mere srate of dullness, then 8 stupor—these were the symptoms, you Kkuow, before, during, and subaequent " to the attack—and this dullness of the senses, constantly increasing, amounts at length to coma, aud then comes Geath. No,sir, 1 have no reasonable doubs that Miss Latimer's deatn was the result of tampering with this so-called remedy.” In counection with his paper on the case, Dr. Couke will havea chemical analysis made of the mixture, which he will incorporate iu the results of Lis examiuation. MISS LATIMER, the probable victim of this allezed * remedy,” was a lady Kknowu in the best circles in Chicago, and possessed a host of friends, who werc greatly aitached to her. She was born in the West Indies, her father being an American and her mothera Spaniard. At the time of her deatin she was 49 years of age. Her mother died when she was Guite souugr, and she was seot to live in a eclerrvinan’s Jamily in She finished ber cducation in Philadelphia, and was then adopted by her Mr. George Latimer, 2 wealtby planter Indics. She went to Europe, where she remajued seven years, spending most of the time 10 Germauy. Coming to Chicaro some fourteen years. ugo, she was first known as a teacher of German. ' Before the fire shie had a school on the North 8ide, sinee which time she has been abroad ou severaio.casions with classes of youne ladies, whom she chaperoned about the prineipal cities in Europe. She returned last September, opened her school at No. 1105 Prai- rie avenue, and on the 1st of May last moved inw the bouse she oceuvied as a schiool at tbe time of ber death and of which she had o lense fer several vears. Her school closed about the middie of June. aud she was enjoying her vaca- tion when the fatal sickness caaie. NEW GOLD-FIELDS. Washing the Aurlferous Sauds on the Beach at San Francisoo. San Francisco A'ta. For the past week a party of “old-time ‘miners ”” have been at work in the sands on the ocean beach,—or, more properly, in-the sands about one hundred yvards back of the ordinary high-tide water-mark,—and have found suflicient “golor ” to justify them in steking off ground and preparing to scparate the golden specks from the black sand for their immediate profit. Usually any “find” of tlus kind is kept very quiet, but these discoverers arc not loath to permit the world to share withthem. During the day the *gold-fields™ were visited by w large number of persous, and most of them satisfied themseives that *‘the color” really can be found in the sand, but as to how much profit will be yielded to the delvers none could hazard a guesé, except those who took up claims or were put in by the original discoverers. About 600 vards from the mouth of the creek, near the Ocean Side Housc (the ereek cansed by the flow from Lake Merced), the actual work of dieging is being prosecutea. though the_beach is staked off for 10,000 feet and more. Ina little break in the sandstone bluils, and evidently a ‘former outlet of Merced Lake, Mr. Fraser, the discov- crer, has sunk a bole about six_feet long and a couple of fet Wide, and from this has taken the bisck saud which has caused the commotion. Fifty or sixty leet further up the little ravine the Fraser. party are dizginea hole for a well, and there {s no doubt about getting water, 2s they slready bave struck a litte pool at fiftéen inches. This work seems to be forthe joint int Dr. O'Donnell directing operztions and evidently furnishing the sup- plies. A pump is on the ground, ready for York as soon as the well is completed, and a rude flame. with sieve, aprons, blagkets, and other contrivances for operating fine gold dig- pings, is nearly ready to be put in use. The Prospecting is done by wasbing m o shovel, as preferable to the ordinary mining-pan, because the black sand packs ciosely, and from esch shovelful a very distinet * color”” {s obtainavle after vers careful and slow washing.

Occasionally the indications will be scen on the beach, but_ it appears to need a hick streak of black sand to warrant the search for gold: and it needs peculfar skill, such as the discoverer has obtainea bv former working in beach sands, to show the prospect at its best. That the black sand contains gold is well known, but it bas not_vet been found in suf- ficiently paying quantities to render its work- ing remunerative. — e ———— CENTRAL ILLINOIS TURNFEST.

M.'s Acconnt of the Way in Which . Quinlin Got Ahead of Him. /The Latter Denies Ceriain ‘Unpleasant L -. Stories,. and ~Is - Thereby Vindicated. E Statements have been in circulation for some days alleking scandalous doings on the part of one who has been fora time connccted with the maragement. of Hooley’s Theatre — Mr. Simon Quinlin. The scandal-mongers have ,already had their fill, and 1if they clioose to fol- low it up it is not unlikely that they may find eossip of a salacious tharacter cnough to last them for a year or so, according to their capacity., Mr. Quinlin is publicly accused of having committed misdemeanors unbecoming a manager, by taking an unfsir advant- age of his position with . reference to 8 class of persons who might at all times be ob- jects of a gentleman’s care and protection.” The peovle around the theatre do not deny the truth of these rumors; they rather intimate that the truth bas been only half told. These things, if substautiated, would have a hurtful influence upon the fortunes of an institution ‘which has had none but well-wishers since its es- tablishment. Hooley’s Theatre has held a po- sition as a first-class house of entertainment ever since its originator came here from Brook- Iyu years ago and threw a fortuue into the big fire. 3r. Hooley has been followed since then by unmerciful disasters, and he has striven bravely, though sometimes ineffectually, to overcome them. He has been the victim of cir- cumstances along with his ncighbors, and he bas been made the victim sometimes of caleu- lating schemers. * This last blow seems to have struck him very much as the man was struck who saw the back end of his wagon fall out, and all his potatoes roll down the hill. A re- porter of THE TRIBUNE sought him out yester- day and found him in a jaded aud wearied con- dition, unwilling to talk, and extremelv re- luctant to be interviewed— for the reason,” as Mr. Hooley remarked. *that he had nothing to say in the way of denial as to the frailtics of his partner.’” It was not 60 much the partner’s backslidings that the reporter was inquiring after, as the question, HOW CAME HOOLEY TO ALLOW SUCH A PART- NER* 1o obtain a supreme control in the management of his affairs? Tothe outside public Quinlin aud Hooley have always scemed to be on the best of terms; and not until very recently has there been a susvicion of a skeleton in the clos- et. Morcover, it has been. geuerally believed that Mr. Quinlin was a moueyed man, possess- ing vast riches in city real estate, and perhaps Government bonds, and tnat he was generously helping Hooley over the stile. ooley allowed himself to be interviewed on these points touching his business relations with Simon Quiulin. He said he had endured a great deal more than anybody knew since the Purtuership commenced, and now he coutd en- dure it no longer. He would rather step out of the concern s pauper and begin life over agaiu than to have bis name coupled with such doings as he knew had been going on. 1s there, then, truth in_these statements which have been going around 1 would rather,” said Hooley, * you should see some others about wy place " that could tell you probably more than you would want to prine. 1 won’y say anything about that." *“Tell me, Mr. Hooley, how y== came § get into partnership with this mau.

At the time QUINLIN CAME IN,— you know the history of my concerns up to then, [ presume,—at that time Laurence Beardaley was acting ss ‘Treasurer, he having advanced. through his father-iu-law, John C. MHaines, $30,000. - Quinlin came in and took his ‘place. He gave to the bank some vacant lots vulued at $12,500, and the balance sccured by notes, forwhich he received a mortgage back on the propergy.? ‘«What was Mr. Quinlin’s position when he camen? Was he a copartuer in this concern " “ No, he was simply acting as treasurer. He took Beardsley’s pluce. fie was to receive $40 a week for his services, and ouc-third of the profits at the ead of tive years, after parment of all incumbrances. This was about the beginning of 1874, # I_Lidu’t he put any money ioto the busi- ness ** Noj; he ouly put in the notes and the lots as security to release Beardsley. To make him uoubly sure I decded the property in trust to Lim as security for the §30,000. Well, then in 1575 Tom Magutre came and took lease of the vroperty, and aiter his lease expired Quinlin a0d'} entered into our present copartuership.” ** Was this an equal copartnership? " & Not exactly. Our first understanding was that I wasto draw $75 a week for personal ex- enses. But when Quinlin came on to New York to sce me about the matter in the spriny of '77, he said we would have to raise $3,000 or we couldn’t get the theatre, and he asked me if I could raise it. 1said 1 could by taking Mr. Craue tu as a partner. Quinlin agreed to this, and we went over to see Craue, who at once put up the moncy.” w '\Ihm’x Crane became a partaer with you? ™ * Yes.” '; \}'as he to have an equal share of the prof- 157 4 That was the understanding.”” *But you alterwards bought bim out, didn’t you#” “ Yes.? “WHAT WERE THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT between you and Mr. Quinfin ¢ ** The_orizinal agreement was that I was to draw $75 u week for personal expenses, and in making out the contract that matter was spoken of, but I said, inasmuch as Crane was coming in, msking a third party, 1 was willing, to show my confidence in my partoer, to waive the privileze of drawing that, and was ready to leave it to his own discretion, and not draw more than I could barely live on. . He scemed much pleased at my magnaoimity, and he inserted a clause to the effect that peither of us should draw any money for our persoual use from the concern. This ‘magnanimity’ business of mine,” said Mr, Hooley, “bas been_ a potent. cause of much of iny subsequent, troubles.” * How could that be?” “Beeause, dow’t you see, il I bad had that clause in the contract, and had tne - right to draw my weekly aliow- ance, 1 should have been indevendent of r. Quinlin, and could baye set down my foot and put & $10p to many things 1 bave been com- pelled to endure.” ‘You partnership with Mr. Quintin, then, has not been as smootn sailing as you antici- pated?” ** Not by a - Mr. Quinlin turned out to be quite a different man from what I took him for. Why, he was in_the habit of telling my own friends behind my back that he was the proprietor, chief boss, and all that, and that 1 was simply a dependent; that he had picked me out of the gutter and put me on my feet, and so forth. I look at the matter in an entirely different light, and I think the public will agree wich me. I think that / have given Aim a posi- tion as a theatrical manager in the nouse I m; &elf built, and in which I have at present involv- ed ueariy $60,000; and he has been makinz a liviug off my name, reputation, and labor.” * Howdid you come, Mr. Hooley, to let Mr. Quinlin 50 COMPLETELY BCLLDOZE YOU in this wav, and_nssume all the sway over your affuirs, when his financlal status was o better than vour own{ “As 1 have told vou,” said Mr. Hooley, “that infernal cliuse let him slide into the cootrset restricting me from drawing money for personal purposes he neld over my d as a rod in pickle, and when 1 fouud fault with nis actions he shook this in my face and said, ‘Do you want me tolive up to the dead letter of our. contract, hey? If so. vou shaw’t druw a dollar.” Now I had to draw i dallar, because I had a famils to support.” * Has-the house not been making money, Mr. Hooley1” : { 0, yes, making considerable money: but we had o grear deal to expend in fitting up the place, in making improvemeats, and buying out Mr. Crane,~and Dot ooly _ that, but Quinlin has so manfpulated the late lease matter as to-make me pav a rental of §15,600 per annum, whereas he oniy pays §10,000 1o the bank, and pockets the balance.™ * How dves he manage that?” - *¢That is a ouestion I want the courts to.de~ termine. The original contract says that we are to pay into the bauk $300 per week for rent Dut since the bank failed Mr. Quinlin has paid nothing, not for five montbs, but at. the same time be has kept on drawing the money, which he appropriated to his own use.”. -+ Abont this late lease, when and how aid Quinlin get it 3 ‘“The Receiver, Dr. Turpin, wishing to get possession of the property, wade an agreement “with Quinlin-that if he woold deed over the ' property he (the Receiver) would give us a lease at $10,000 a year, and cancel -his notes for the balance of the sccurities.” . . = “ Well, didn’t you take this lease jointly1 “No; we were to have done- so, but Quinlin broke his word at the last momeut, and jnsisted on taking it in his own name.” “Then you seem tohavelet Mr. Quinlin doas he pleased = “Yes, up to.the last, when I eaw he was bent on throwing e overboard if he could.

Icounld not help know- of them. Everybody around the place knew it; and yet I didn’t want to ralse trouble if 1 could help it, seeing I was in a corner, so to speak.” " ' Do you know anyihing about this young girl—this Miss Arlington—that has brought up ull this trouble?? “Yes, she was the mistress of the ballet; but I would rather not say anything on that sub- jeat. Idischarged her at one tine because she ‘was breaking up the discipline of the house, but Mr. Quinlin reiustated her, althouzh, according to our contract, he had no . power to hire or dis- charge any one. This young irl lorded it over me and everybody else.” “ Have you scen lier lately?? I saw her yesterday. Shecame to my of- fice, and she Jooked @ perfect wreck. Igave ber a dollar to pay bher car-fare home, and advised her to wait till Quinlin came home. She wanted to o and see a law- yer, and I adyised her to walt and see Quinlin, which she did. She sald a good many touzh things about the Doctor, and charged him with being penurious aud perfidious, and all that sort of thing. She said he used to take her out rid- ing at nights and would give her the receipts of the house to keep for bim till morning, and, says she, ‘I was always honest with him, aud never kept a cent, and when he went away he left me only S10 to pay my board.” 'The girl seemed tobe thoroughly brokeu in spirit and health.” ““‘What are you eoing to do about it all, Mr. Hooley1? **T don’t know,” eaid he; “I can’t possibly Kkeep up any conneetion with & concern that has such an odium attached toit. T can't have my name connected with any such scandal. I have been unfortunate in business, but 1 have not been guilty of aistonorable transactions. Mr. Quinlin may be able to clear himself from these chatges. I hope be can,” 5 With this the talk with Mr. Hooley ended. MB. QUISLIN called at the office of Tug TiiIBUNE )ast even- ing, and in compliance with iree jnvitation to sit down und speak his mind, he spoke toa short-hand reporter as follows: “ T obtained a copy of the Times in Detroit Friday evening, audread the article, and leit my business unfinished and started home by thie next train. On my arrival 1 sought out the lady, had an jnterview with her, und she denied positively baving made any such state- ment as the article coutained. She sald that she had been ill, and Dr. Purdy had asked her for money, and sue didn’t havé any at that that time; and ke inquired who per frionds were. She ~ told him that she W acquainted . with me, aud he remarked that I was a man reputed to be wealthy, and that tie would find me, and ask me 1o assist her. She did not state to bim, nor to aoy other person, that there bad been any jmproper intimacy between her and myself, and she go told every reporter who visited her. 1 met Mr. Thomas Burnside, of the Times, this evening, who informed me that he went to in- terview her, and that she had told him the whole thing was a lie from beginning to end. This deoial was made to several other persons. 1 know by whom the story was originated, and_their object, which was to injure me i order to benefit themselves, As T am now vindicated, they will not be able to accomplish their purpose. The whole affair has Dbeen villainously concocted during my absence from the city, and [ am satisfied wonld never have oceurred had I been present. The prime mover in it, I regret to say. is one whom Ihave afded with my voice and means to the extent of my ability and couscquent sufTering thereby, and, failing further mouey advances, now seeks to irjure my versonal reputation in thisunderhanded manoer. In due time, the truth shall prevail.” GRANT AND JOHNSON. The Explanation of How Stanton Got Hold of the Wur Department and Beat Them Both. ‘- Gath " has been interviewing, at Saratoga, Judge Hilton, who was intimate with Gen. Graus (though a political opponent), and got from the Judge the iollowing history of a fumous transaction: ** Nothing injured Grant so much,” saia Judge Hilton, *“in the minds of entlemen as bis allezed behavior to President obnson 1 breaking bis word to Johnson about the War-Oflice, which be promised to deliver back, but l:1 Stanton resume justead. It was that which disgusted Cowmodote Vander- bilt. Mr., Grinnell ' said to wme, *That m: is not a gentleman.’ It is still the subject of the principal criticism on Graot’s individual bonor. *“Now,” coutinued Judee Hilton, * fu that matter Graut was ot a bit guilty in any way and Stauton exercised a coup d’etat on the office, but Grant, though in- censed st Stanton, would never oped his mouth to explain. In one of those spelis of silent ob- duracy or obstinacy which seem to reach the depths of his character, Graut. let mankind rail onand closed his hps. Not even Johuson got the benefit of s explanation, and abused Grant witbout snswer ustl he died.” ‘Fhe following incident was then related on this very subject, and it isa pretty study of Grant’s domestic lite: *t1 went to Washington, aud, in the course of general conversation with Grany and bis wife, touched on the iucident of Stanton resuming the Wur-Ullice, and said if there was an explanu- tion of it 1o tune optarht to be lost in having it published. It was‘oue of those tnings impuan- ing the personal nonor of Gen. Grant, which was doing him narm in Jofty nmds. ** His wife. who was one of the truest women and wives in the world, a woman all over,—she hus more influence with that man than all the statesen in the countrv,—said to me: ***You are right, Judge Hilton. It oucht to be published. But Gen. Graut will not allow a word to be said about it Now. I want to tell you, before nim, the circamstances of that tak- ing back of the War-Ollice by Mr. Stanton.” *Grant sat perfectly immovable while Mrs, Grant told the story. Grant had only taken the War-Otlice to keep peace in the country, and bad promised Johnson not to give it to another without telling him. Grant was o strong friend of Stanton, and went to Stanton and tcid him lie had thought it right aud u duty to take the War-Office. Said Staoton: *Gen. Grant, there is nota livinz man I would give it uo to but youand hedid giveit up. Time passed on aud the Radical Scnate resolves to put Stanton back. Une evening Gen. Grant was about to go out of his house with some ladies to spend the evening, when a messenger met him ln the hall- way. Grant bad his bat and éoat on: the Jadies were behind him and the carriage ready. The messenger said: ‘Here is something for Gen. Graot. Grant took the parcel, He was then receiving papers and all sorts of things by mulijzude aud he merely saw thac it bore the inscription: * Senate of tbe United Stutes.” He thought it a matter to be looked into pext day and went out with lus ladies. Next duy he arose and breakfasted, and -along toward official hours took uv tbe papers at s dweilg. He found the thing be had laid down the night before was u resolution of the Senate non-concurring in Stanton’s digplacement, This was cquivalent to Stanton bemg the lawlul Sceretary of War. Grauot walked right up to the War-Otlice. where he found that Stanton, from an early hour of the morning, nad strong. ly installed flimscli and was prepared for a fieht. He bad in fact taken advaotage of Grant’s late knowledge of the subject, audtook the otfice by a stratagem near daylignt. Grant had no alternative but to go away. Mrs. Graut, finishing this story, said: +-*Judge Hilton, there sits that man (Grant) who knows that story to be true, and he will not letit_be told to acquit him of any duplicity with President Johnson!’” Grant sat immovable, and did not wag his head cither way. Mr. Stanton told Judge Hil- ton that such were the facts. Anticipating some point of honor oni Grant’s part, Stanton had seized his own while the Sceretary ad in- fterim slept. **But,” said Hilton, **Grant never was cardial with Stantéu after that, and always looked ‘at him askant. He nominated Stancon, as a dying -man, to the Supreme Beoch, but never took him iuto his counsels or contidence.’” —————— : ...

Removal of Two of the Clerks for Keep- ing Their Eyes Shut. Some Hore Stories in Relation to Alleged Shortages, and How They" Were Hidden, The Post-Office euilloting dropped again yes- terday, and, as was predicted in the columns of last Saturday’s TRIBUNE, the heads of Thomas A. Bouthgate, Assistant Cashier, and J. 2L Stryker, Jr., Statement Clerk, of the Money- Order Department, dropped into the official waste-basket. These young men are not dis- charged for any participation in Miller's short- comiugs, but beeause they could not help but have known, or strongly suspected, that skul- dugzery was going on “ln their department. Southgate was Assistant Cashier, aud, as Ed Miller was Chief Cashior, he could not have been unaware of how matters were belng cou- ducted. This he sept to bhmself, and hence his discharge at this late duy. Stryker. as Statement Clerk, turned in each day the amount of money-orders paid. As e checked all these, he must have known that Milier was playing fast and loose with Government money, but he said nothing about it. - The charge, then, amainst them fs, that they knew of the stealing that was going on; that they kept the fnforma- tion to themselves, simply because they did nos want to give uway their friende Miller and Gregg. In this they, violated the law, and, in fact, became accessorfes under the law; they owed their fidelity to the United States, and by not giving the proper iuformation they violated their oath of office. Some reflection has been attempted to be cast upou Postmaster Palmer for his actfon in the Miller defalcation. It took place long be- fore he took oflice, but it was he who worked and wormed it out, and he is determined toat all who had knowledge of it and who are now v of the Government shall be dis- Taere has been vo desire to conceal or shield anybody, but there was a desire to r cover the money, and to that cnd certaln mes ures have been instituted which have proved unsuecessful, with all which the public bas been made familior through the columus of THE Trinuse. It is said that GREGG HAS GONE DEFORE JUDGE DANGS, and to him has unfolded a tale which would exoncrate the cx-SllEer(ntendcm of the Money- Oraer Department, but bury dark and deep in infamy ex-Cashier Ed Muler. ‘Thus there is bing plaved a game of diamond cut diamond. W. W, O’Brien has Miller in trafning for the immunity race, and it is said that his client bas the fuside track.” On top of all this comes the story that Grege was short $5,000 as early as the year 1874,—even beforctue July fire had de- stroyed the building cornerof Harrison strect and Wabasn avsnue, Wwhere the Post- Oftice wus then situated. It {3 said that oue fine day in May a Speciat Agebt of the Post-Officc Department cume out this_way to look over Greaa’s accounts. Grege heard of the intended Visit, and he “put his castle dead to rights.” Tt is allezed that just then the Super- incendent was $5,000 short, so he went to Gen. MeArthur's son, who was the Cashier for his father, and vorrowed 35,000 of him. When the Special Agent came Grege’s nccounts were cor- rect, and . nobody was the wiser. How much this- system of transferring funds was carried ou no one scems to know. Gen. McArthur just now is out of town, to be gone some days, and when he returns he may be able to explain haw these thinescame to be. As it is, Southuate and Strvker are out of situations, and some other removals are likely to be made. SOUTUGATE. When Southgate, Ed Miller's assistant in the Money-Order Department of the Post-Office, received from Assistant Postmaster Squicers, by order of the Postmaster, his letter of dismissul, he asked the Supermteudent, who presented him with toe note, why he was discharged. and was told by him that he did not knows that he had been faithful and eflicient,—in fuct that be rewarded him as the best clerk he bad in the de- partnent. The young man then went to scc Mr. Squiers about the matter, but that gentle- man professed to be as ignorant as the Superin- tendent. Southgate then tried to sec Post- master Palmer, Dut the latter had gone away. Southgate was visited by a TRIBUNE repre- sentative lust cvening at his boarding-bouse, No. 201 West Washington street, and be was ery blue over his situation. - He suspected that Mr. Paluer had foferred that he was in a meas- use mixed up with the Miller defalcation, but he asserted Dis innocence i the most vehement terms. Ie suid that he had been in che motey- orderdepartmentof the Post-Ottice for six yea aod never befure in bis life had he becu dis- charged. He thought 1t was usjust that he should be dismissed, and he was afraid that the insinuatfons agaiust him would injure him in obtaining another situation, even if he had an opportunity. He made THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT to the reporter: © Notwitbstanding the fact that L was Mr. Mitler’s assistauts I had no way of knowing liow his accounts stood. He invariably d the cash during the whole time that L assistant. 1 oever balanced bis cash a sinole time, evel either did I know what bis total cash’ was, or should be, and had no way of kuowing, 8s he used a tin box, in which were awtilated currency, checks, moey-orers, etc., which 1 knew pothing about. He would open in the morning, and if he was called to another part of the ofiice, or went out, I would pav orders during his abseace. When 1 acted in his stead [ wnever knew the umouut of money the drawer contaiped. If he returped before the office closed, the cash would be balanced by him and Mr. Grege: if he didn’t return, it would not be balanced until he did return, but was simply counted and turned over to Mr. Greze, who did not balance it, to my knowledge, until Mr. Milter was present. 1 uever knew the combination of the safe. 1 never in my life made an ctry ot any kiud on a cash-book, ot any book used as & memorandum of cash. [did not figure any orders except those paid ut the window by mysell, and seldom Kkuew the total amount of orders paid at the win- Jow in a sinirle duy. All that was expected of e iv councction with the cash was to pay dur- ing Mr. Miller’s absence, and” not to keep or know any amoubts whatever of cash. duty was to look up and compare orders which were presented Ly the bauks, all of which vere figured by Mr. Stryker (the ac- countant).| L defy Mr. Miller, or any and all conuected with the Post-Otfice Depurtment, to prove that T was ever guilty of aurthing. per- taining to crookedness durmg the whole time T was employed fu the Post-Office.” g This statement was_entirely with relation to himself, and intended to establish Mr. South- gate's inocence regarding the defalcation. But the sabject which interesied the reporier most was to find out whetuer Mr. Southeate had ANY COGNIZANCE OR SUSPICIONS of anything wrong m Miller’s sccounts in years roue by.. With this end in view, he asked the ex-clerk if he baa suspected anything wrong with the cashier’s accounts as far back as 1574, Mr. Souttigate, feeling that he was innocent of guile himself, had strong hopes of being rein- stated as soon as Mr. Palmer should find out the facts, and consequently he was guarded in his statements, He contessed that hico had some suspicions, but as the wen above him were all of one family, 85 it were, he thought it best to keep bis eyes shut, and likewisc Lis mouth, and attena strictly to his own busines He had the cashier borrow mouey from the Ofice proper many times, but - this was 4 common _occurrence, and nad to be done_frequently when remiltauces were made to New York to carry the business of the Deparunent forward to the next da e did not say as much directly, but the reporter in- ferred that he considered Grezg and Miller con- nected in the matter, and thought there was a perfect understanding between them on all points. Hehad a number of times observed Gregg bring money into_the Department, or take money out of his pocket to make the ac- counts good. He did not kpow where Grezg got the mouey: it might have been bis own for all hie knew. Miller was not very attentive 1o business. Sometimes he was in and sometiines he was out—tnore often he was out. Mr. J. W. Gregz was also visited by the re- orter last evening, and was questioned regard- ing the Miller transaction. Ie said there” had been some statements in the newspapers re- garding himself which were false. It hud been publistied that he had asreed to pay 5,000 of the shortage out of his own pocket. Tais was ot true. flc had stated that he would furnish sceurity that 35,000 would be paid in Lwo years, conditioned upon Miller's beiny_returned and immunity granted him. Another publ statement was to ' cifeet . Patmer, Miler, and Golsen had held a consultation. This was false, as swas also the report that_he had made a state- ment to Judge Banga. He bad: never madea Etotement,_to anybody, but had kept his own connsel.. He shuuld continue to do £0 until the roper time came. P ? ‘The reporter asked what would be considered bs Mr. Gregg as the proper time, and that gen- tieman replied that this would be when his character was assailed, or, in other words, when it was charged that he was fn any manner im- plicated with Mitlerio his defictency. “Have you any hidden facts to disclose,— 4 anytuiog that will biud Miter close, or any the thing that has not aiready.been -publishedi”. °| asked the representative.

South Carolina’s Ex-Financial Agent Ar- rested In Westflold, Mass. Bos70%, Mass., Aug. 10.—Col. J. F. Trentlen, Chief Constable of South Carolina, arrived ax the Executive Chamber to-dsy with a requisi- here and there, drink- _tlon for Hiram H. Kimpton. A telegram from Gov. Rice, at Saratoga, directs a fuli hearing. The indictment upon which the requisition is Lased charges Jobn G. Patterson, Niles G. Parker, and Hiram H. Kimpton with conspiracy to bribe the South Carolina Legislature. Each side is weil represented. The counsel for Kimpton say that the matter will be fought at every pofut; that the case is purely political; that the present State Government is deslrous of repudiating cer- tain bonds issued in 1872, which have already been scaled down 50 percent.; that Kimpton is desired as a witness to alleged irregulantities in their issue in order that tue Stute may repu- diate the balance, and that be has retused to compromise the matter in accordance with the negotiations the State authorities have been making duriag the past two nouths. New York Tribute, Aug. & H. H. Rimpton, ex-finauctat agent of the State of South Carolina, was arrested in West- field, Mass., yesterday afternoou. He is one of the fifteen ex-Stato officers who were indicted in Columbia, in Seatember last, for forgery and fraud. A warrunt wus sent here for his arrest at the time Niles G. Parker, ex-State Treasurer, was arrested in New Jersey, but Kimpton re- moved from this city, and escaped. Nothing more was heard of him until the Yate College Commencement this last spring, when the Chief of Police of New Ilaven telegraphed to the Pinkerton Detective Agency hers, askivg if Kimpton was wanted. Before a reoly reached New Haven, Kimpton had azain disap- peared. He was traced to Westfield, Muss., wneu word was sent to State-Detective Camp- bel! to keep watch for him. He managed to clude arrest until yesterday. It will be neces- sary for a requisition to bé obtained from the vernor ,of South Carolina tefore Kimpton be removed, unless be chooses to waive that formality, when he will be taken dérect to Columbia.
