OTTMAN’S EXPERIMENT. They further found that Ott cently been investing tna couple of extra fine trotting harses; t he had been ne- gotiating for the sale of vertain of his prop- erty; that he talked about selling out his well-paying estat shment and removing wy another city. They found also that at a v recent date Mr. O. bad walked into the cashi- room of the Treasury, and asked for change for two3t00 notes, which had been given him, and they found that but a short Ume pre- vious he had gone to a well-known banking house, and asked for and obtained the identical two $500 notes in exchange for smali bills. This looked bat. It to though Mr. ©. had, in a spirit of t concluded to beard the liou in his den, but had taken the precaution to secure the notes in advance from a reliable source.

HOW HALLECK GAVE HIMSELF AWAY. Major Richards next obtained an inter- view with Treasurer New, aud laid the facts before that somewhat astonished gentleman: He told him he was satisfied that the clew was right, and that they intended to push ne matter, but that as Major Washburn nad ot seen fit toask thelr co-operation, he re- ted that he be not informed of Ue steps y had taken, as they felt fally competent to reach @ successéut ‘consummation of the matter without any aid of the secret service divison. To this Mr. New assented, and the work went on. It was ascertained that the duty of Halleck in the office was to make the last count and place one sealon the envelope, after which it was passed to another man who sealed it on either end: that some time after the robbery, in conversation on the subject, Halleck had alluded to the ease with which the theft might have been accom- plished and snecessfully concealed, owing to the fact that the notes Were all old ones, and the numbers of them had not heen taken. This statement of the notes being old ones was not generally known. : ON THE TRAIL OF HALLECK. On Thursday night Detectives McDevitt and McElfresh started for New York, and reaching there next morning they took quar- ters at the Cosmopolitan Hotel.

It is stated that 1t was his intention to make over his fixtures and lease on his res- irant to Halleck, but had not time to do so before his arrest THE ARREST AND ARRIVAL OF HALLECK On Saturday morning. after the writ had been served Major Ricuards telegraphed to McElfresh and MeDevitt: their surety as your man pn. Have you found him? | A.C. Re Judge Wylie rendered his “is received a dispateh; We leave with Hon three train gm Meckirresu & McDevitt. About 11 p.m. Saturday night Detectives MeDevitt and Mel-ifresh arrived in the New York trainon the Baltimore and Po iomae railroad with their prisoner, and pro. ceeded at once to the Central guardhouse, where he was placed in confinement. Th ers state after several Inetlectual attempts to find him, both at the Globe In- surance office and his mother’s residence in Brooklyn, he was found at the former piace, and at once apprised of bis arrest. He agreed to waive the formality of a requisition, and started with them in the 5 p. m. train. A TELL-TALE MEMORANDUM BOOK. On the train he was noticed to take from his poeket « snail memorandum book and tear out several of the leaves and make one erasure. Thinking it time to look into that, the book was taken from him, and found to contain entries in several places. On one page were entries of money borrowed; another eash due; oh another articles to be purehased. and op still another memoranda with the top line of figures crased so close that the figure “4,” the first in the line, only was discernible. “He was asked what’ that ws 1 replied some figures he had been x in regard to the purchase of a farm for $5,000. Hix attention was then called to the fact that the figures were over $20.00), when he made an evasive answer, and said that he would explain ali to Major Richards on his arrival. ‘The Major was sent for and held a long taik with him, but he refused to make any statement of facts. While the Major was talking with him the book was examined in the outer room, and the calet lation appearing to be a deduction, the ures $47.07 placed Instead of the erased figures, transcript was made ae follows. SAT ONT.65 9,870 Save to show W. H., August 5, 187: These figures he explained by saying that he had been endeavoring to ascertain what his share would have been had he stolen the money and divided it, He was further pressed and exclaimed “Oh, that book will convict me, I know.” As he showed no dis- position to talk farther he was locked up for the night. Yesterday morning one of the of- ficers called upon the wife and mother-in- Jaw of Halleck, and with them proceeded to the Central guardhouse, where @ most affect- ing interview was held. HALLECK'S FIRST STORY—TO 0 THIN. After considerable talk he finally made a statement, which is substantially as follows: That shortly after the package was stolen he was metby a man named Thomas Gates, who was not employed in the de partment, and whom he did not know. The man said that be bad been sent to see him in regard to the missing package, and that he knew where it was; that he, Gates, had stolen it, and that it was then in the restaurant of Welcker & mon On One Of the shelves, behind a row bottles, which he fully de- scribed. Halleck said at this timean im- ulse seized him to get the money, and that e went to the spot designated, and found it there, and took it and turned it over to Ott- map, with the understanding that they were to share it, and that since that time has not seen it; that he has at odd times received TREOPORF Ww. ie or € of the war pop He was born e BROWN ation of the Dis he eastern st listed. aud during the latter part o: the war Was wounded, and lost his left lec.

HALLECK'S CONFFSSION ck, it is stated to-day, made a fall fession yest The authorities deem it proper to withhold it from the public for the present, but the substance of it, so far as ine man ner ot the robbery was concerned, 1s as follows: After his understandéng with Ottman, the latter came to the cash room of the Treasury and, of course, Stool outside the counter as if waiting to be attended to like other persons having business to tra act there. At a convenient opportunit Halleck, who was inside the counter atte ing to bis business, quietly passed tbe pack- age out to Ottoman, who ‘put it in his side pocket and departed. Not long afterwards Halleck went out and joined Gitman at the Owen House, where they took dinner tq gether. OTTMAN'S SPECIAL DEPOSIT IN ALEXAN- DEIA. Having learned last night by a note which Otttaan covertly wrote in his cell and tried to get out, that he had money on deposit in the Arlington Bank at Alexandria, Detec- Uves MeDevitt and MeEliresh proceeded fe early, and asked the cashier to hand r to them any deposit made by W. H. an, When he replied that while anxious toserve’the government he wauted to be right, and would bave to decline todo so without authority from the Treasury offi- cials. Mr. McEifresh remained at the bank while McDevitt returned to this city Mr. Portner, the president, and Mr. Eic man, one of the directors, and informed Ma- jor Richards of the state of the case, when all repaired to the Treasury department, and laid the case before Mr. Spinner and Treas. urer Ne Mr. Spinner at once wrote an or- der for the delivery of the deposit to Major Richards, remarking to Mr. Portner that if the money was not in $500 bills he did not wish tt. TWENTY-NINE $500 DILLS RECOVERED. All then took the train for Alexandria, and presenting the order the package was pro- duced, and on opening it twenty-nine $50 bills were counted out, making $14,500. it was wrapped up in a brown paper package, and after the count it was handed to Major Richards, who, with MeDevitt and Mck: fresh, arrived at police headquarters at 11! o'clock with the package in his hand. This will be retained by hit until the trial of the parties. Major Richards, with the officers, repaired at once to the Treasury department to report progress. Otlman has been for several years well known in Alexandria, and ix @ stockholder in the bank in which he made this deposit, and also a heavy stock in the ship yard company and other enterprises there. HOW THE MONEY WAS PACKED. When the detective officers were handed the money package in Alexandria, the out- side appearance looked very much like @ r containing asmall fancy box, quite about ni ches iu length and four in width. The wrap was in brown paper, ard was scaled with five black wax im- pressions. On tae outside was the super- scription “Wm. H. Ottman.” The whole Was ted with a string of ordinary twine When the paper was removed @ box was dis- closed. ‘This was quite flat, and the lid so completely covered it, thai it looked Like one piece. Tlie box was made of pine wood and vidently both it and the lid was hewn out of common piece of pine with knife. The lid was fastened wit ion of Wire tacks. On removing the tacks ound the twenty-nine $500 bills, which fitted intoa crevice just large enough to re- ceive them and a small piece of the EVENING STAR, Which Was wrapped around the mo! The entire handiwork of an ingenuous head. 1t is sur- mised that {t was the intention of Ottman first to have buried the box, but that he af- terwards changed his mind, and deposited it in the bank at Alexandria. THE KOX AT THE TREASURY At 2o'clock to-day Major Richards, Chief Detective Clarvoe, and Detectives MeDevitt aud McElfresh calied at the office of Treas- urer New and presented bim with the box containing the recovered money. Gen. Spin- ner Was in the room, and when he saw the box said, “Ah, gentlemen, that meant bury in case of trouble.” Said Treasurer New to Gen. Spinner, “Well, General, I suppose you feel better over the recovery of this amount Which had gone astray than the millious which have not been lost.” To which the General replied, “Well, this is what I have been waiting for to turn up, and J aim glad they have got the thieves.” Treasurer New then sent for Mr. Whitney, who counted the money, and announced ue ecm ment to contain #14,500, ail in new five jundred dollar bills—twenty-nine in all. The money, after being counted, was again placed Jn the custody of Major Richards, to be used by him as ev: against the thieves. GEN. SPINNER HAPPY. Learning of the arrest of these parties, Gen. Spinner at once repaired to police head- quarters and congratulated Major Richards and the detective corps for the success of their work, remarking, humoredly that he didn’t care a d—n the money, but wanted to see the d—d thieves punish3a for the trouble they had given many of his clerks, who were honest men. MRS. OTTMAN returned to this city this morning, having been sent for by telegram by her husband, stating that he was ina little trouble, and a arrangement was the | reage In business, and was mh k log arrange mcuts to thisend when arrested.

Si pbens, tue representative man of southern ppinion, in an address on the 4th of July at Atlanta, strongly stated the constitutional grounds upon which the people of the south and the democratic party stand. He said that each state isa nation, separate, inde- | pendent and distinct from ali others; that the states being separate aud distivet, the vations are attached together only by the constitation of the United States, which ix a treaty to which the states, tn their sovereign, independent character, are parties, aad not the people in their aggregate and’ primary capacity. He represents the slates as sov- ereign lations, like England and Francs, who have formed a treaty which they call & constitution, creating a artificial confeder- ate government, resting upon the shoulders | of the separate nation eatering into the ©o- alition. From this constitation or confeder- acy it follows that auy of the national parties have a right to withdraw al pleasure, and this THE DOCTRINE WHICH MADE THE REBEL- LION POSSIBLE. by which it was inaugurated, and by which others may be upon any question In any part of the country that may become dissat shed or pass under the lead of rebellious afterwards his wife came in, and bas been h him ali day. detectives are in possession of infor- mation where other portions of the money bas been deposited, and think they will get the most of it.

W. Koiner, of Fishersville, has just entered suit in the U. 8. Court of Jackson, Miss., in behalf of himself and sixteen other heirs of the late Joseph H. Johnson, to recover property Which is estimated’ at nearly $1,000,000. Many years before the war George W. and Joseph-H. Johnson, two brothers living in Roanoke county, Va., were given by ir Jather $10,000 cach and started out in the world. Joseph located at Vicksburg, as a baker, in partnership with ‘Brown, and the firm was said to! jest between St. Louis and New Orleans.

This bivod-stained and treasonable doctrine is openly avowet in the south, and indorsed by the northera democracy under the phrase and label of ‘state sovereignty. vere is DO doubt tat the members of the democratic party in tt south, with few exceptions, look upon the colored people as a race unat ought still to be enslaved, who were made free wrongfully by the accident of war, and deeply resent their elevation to civil and political rights and equality, and while they do not live tm the hope of the restoration of slavery in its old form, they are full of hope and faith that the time will soon come when the colored rac in their midst will, by legislation and the show of force, be deprived of their political vil rights, and refluced toa legal in’ position midway between sla- and that political equ to which they are entitled by the constitation and the natural rights of war. THE SPECIE REDEMPTION BILL.

THE GREENBACK THE He then addressed his remarks to the dem- ocratic platform of Ohio, and combatied the greenback theory, and claimed that demo- crats had always been enemiesof zreenbacks. € said: This Whole scheme of a further issue if greenbacks tn leu of national bank notes I arraign here to-day as bypocritical and treacherous, desizned in the Tirsi place to et- fect the destruction © national banks, and then, by their v and by the decis* ion of the courts, to destroy the greenback themselves, and pave the way for the restor- ation of the old state bank system. The state sovereignty party will never stop short of state banks. A pvatienal currency, whe- ther of greenbacks or bank notes, is hateful to that party, which abliors the national idea, declares that there is not one na- tion, but thirty-seven independent and sov- ereign powers. The party which clamors constanty about centralization and federal assumption can never be lhe friend of the greenback, which represents the highest form of national sovereignty.
