THE ALLEGED MARINE CORPS FRAUDS A True Statement of the Case. The Chronicle prints this morning several columns relating to alleged irregularities in the condnet of the business of ihe United States marine corps. The tenor of the pub- lication scems to indicate that Major Slack, the quartermaster of the corps, stationed in this city, Was responsible for all the short- comings set forth in the publication. From facts derived from the Second Con- troller and Fourth Auilitor of the Treasury, the following statement fully explains the irregularities charged, t'to whom the blame should attach. First of all, in order to explain THE CLOTHING TRANSACTIONS, it Is necessary to set forth the mode in which articles for the marine corps are pureiaset. When clothing is required an estimate of th: munt is tirsi received from the several mpany commanders. With this asa basis an estimate fs made, and the material neces- sery to make the several garments, for which requisitions have been previously made, is purchased by the «nartermaster, Ma Siack. After the materials are purel the firm of C. C. Baraum & Bro., of New York. are given the same to make up into clothing. HOW PAYMENTS ARE MAD. The bills of Barnum & Bro. for this are paid by Major Slack. make ervi But before he y payments, the following course is necessary to be pursued by the firm First, the clothing is inspeeted, to ascertain that the garments charged have actualiy been made. This duty has heretofore de- volved on Captain Maddox, stationed in Philadelphia. Atterhe makes the juspeciion and gives a certificate of the same to the firm, they in turn wresent the bill to Capt Maddox, aecompanied by his inspection eer- fe. Then Capt. Maddox approv will, leaving the amount to be paid tn bi: The papers are thea forwarded to Gen. fi com.nandant of the corps, whoalso approves the vills, and sends them to Major Sl: Who computes the cost at the contract fills up the blank amount and r n€cessury payments. EARNUM & BKO'S. LIETLE GAME. By some means Barnum & Brother ascer- tained that the amounts of the bills whieh they made ont in biank were not filled up by Capt. Maddox, the inepectin ficer in Phil- uielphia. Some time azo they resolved on a bold move. They mice a bill out whieh would cover twe nousand dollars, for clothing w y had not mannfac tured. Jt Was sent to Capt. Maddox at Phil- atelphia, who approved it. It is said that upproval through tie collu- n of one of his clerks. At alleveats he p a certificate of inspection covering enough garments to meet aggregate of the list, also approved it, and sent iton to Washington to Gen. Zetlin, who likewise oved {t, and Major Slack paid the bill. SLACK NOT RESPONSIBLE. By some means, in course of time, the bil Was ascertained to be fraudulent. The of- Scers of the Fourth Autitor’s office sent for Slack. Of course he knew nothing abont it, as the only evidence of the manufacture of the clothing was the inspection report of Capt. Maddox and tue double approval of tuat officer and Gen. Zelin. Maidox wi hen notified of the fraudulent transaction, and admitted that he was deceived by the collusion of one of his clerks with the cloth- ing frm. SUIT TO RECOVER THE MONEY. After investigation of the whole subject, Fourth Auditor Tabor became convinced that neither Slack nor Maddox (although the public will haraly be able to see it in the ease of the inspector) should be held account- ; that the proper persons to bring suit inst were the menibers of the clothing ‘rr. Accordingly vised with the So- Ucitor of the Treasury ‘tment Mr W Laud a iew weeks ago he comieced pre- nina.y legal procee tings to recover the apr CE OF ONE MEM- OF THE FIRM AND DEATH oF ANOTHER. By some means C. C. Barnum, the senior ofthe firm, obtaiced i government intended rination that the prosecute. This, to , almost simultaneousiy with the actual lezal proceedings by the government.

The goverament tien took means to app brother, but strange to say he was found dead in his be:t two days afterwards. THE BONDSMEN SUED. The Solictter has, however, notifiol the bondsmen of the firm that he will transfer the suit as against them, one of the princi- vals being actually and the other presuma- bly dead. The money which Major Slack is charged with not accounting for is now and has been on deposit in a designated depository of the United States, a fact known to the Second Comptroller and the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury THE TINE allowed persons claiming to be owners of lands on the northwest frontier uuder joint occupancy to present their claims nas been terminated by proclamation of the esident. ‘These lands were awarded to the United States by the Emperor of Germany acting as umpire under the Treaty of Wasir- ington on the boundary ques ¢ the island of San Jui A CHAPTER OF RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. — The Priday night express on the Obio and Mississippi railroad was thrown from the track near Huron, Indiana, by the malictous misplacement of a rail.
