Among the developments in the McGarra- han case is one implicating W. 0. Stoddard. President Lincoin’s secretary to’ sign land Warrants. He is shown, while acting in close and confidential relations with Lincoln, per- forming rather the duties of private secretary than the formal acts of secretary for signing land patents, while opening Lincoln's mails, reading his war dispatches, sitting at momen: tous Cabinet meetings and recording their proceedings, to have been carrying on a ci- Rhee correspondence with a broker in New ork, to whom he sold, for Spocmative pur- Poses, the intelligence confided to him. Clinton Rice, then of 17 Wall st., New Yo | gave in adeposition last November this story | | of Stoddard’s scandalous practices and his | own share in them: | _ Duriny ane year 1862 I became acquainted ; with William O. Stoddard, one of the private | secretaries of President ‘Lincoln. Stoddard. after our acquaintance had ripened into fa- | Miliarity, imparted to me that he enjoyed superior facilities for obtaining in advance all | information of a political, official and diplo- matic character likely to affect gold, stocks | and other commodities. I entered into an arrangement with him to furnish me tele- giaphie cipher patches. I was, by way of reciprocation, to use the said information among the stock, gold and commereial brokers | of New York, and divide with him, share and | share alike, and during the years 1863 and 1564 we worked this together under sald arrange ment. The usual course pursued was for Stoddard to telegraph me in cipher, as agreed the Cabinet, or‘on recelp by the President or heads of departments of any important mili- tary or nayal or other official operations, or of any diplomatic movements, in time to use the same at the boards, or at the produce ex- change, or upen the street, before the an- nouncement bad been decided upon, and then, on the next fay or b the next mail north, to Fost me a letter of explanation and advice, signed ‘Two Hundred.” The telegrams were general 5 sind with the initial **S. ;" some- limes ** dard.” fa Rice’s deposition is followed by a series of | Stoddard’s letters and telegrams, with the key | of the cipher in which they were originally | communicated, as well as by copies cf some of the checks Ye aes the spolis were divided. The letters begin on October 1, 1863, when Stoddard was bulling gold, and he gives early information of expected victories at Chatta- nooga and over Lee that were never gained. Of his Washington arrangements he says, October 15: : 1am anxious to see you and talk over mat- ters. I have made a grand combination which will give me the entire control of the New York press through their Washington corres- ndents. This alone is an immense thing. In order to keep it up, however, we must make some money, and that soon. The next day this light thrown on Stan ton’s bulletins and Stoddard’s operations: The victory business at Bristow Station is hollow enough, for we did not win any, but they are making the people believe that we did. I think I could run a gold line here better than anywhere else. Will Day, ail be Cxpenses for balf the net proceeds. About ten thous- j ane would do. Account rendered every thirty jays.
