Stoddard, President Lincoln's seere- tary to sign land warrants, has acard in the New York Post, denying the affidavit of Clin. | ton Rice (offered in evidences ainst MeGar- | rahan) that he used his position to sell cabinet | and other government secrets for effect in | Wall street and for other purposes. He Says: “No cabinet or other government seerets available on Wall street were in my keeping, nor were my means of obtaining information half so good as those of the agent of the Asso. ciated Press.

Such information as I could pick up for py salience was in no case that which the public interests required te be guarded by me or others as a “ secret.” As to the MeGarrahan case, I can appreciate the necessity the New Idria attorneys are under to blacken my character. That lamin any manner, directly or indirectly or pros- pectively, interested in the decision of the case very positively deny. Whatever others aly have done I have carefully kept my own skirts clearin that matter, and can prove it, A FASHIONABLE MILLINER IN TROUBLE.— Madame Rawlings. a well-known fashionable milliner, has got into trouble with the New York custom house. She has been to Europe, and on the arrival of the steamer Adriatic she sent two large Saratoga trunks ashore, paying #68 as duty upon their contents. Subsequently Capt. Brackett, special agent of the Treasury department. suspecting something wrong, ordered the trunks to_be examined, and their contents were found to consist of costly siiks, hats and underwear, the duty on which is es. timated at from $700 to $800. “The goods were sent to the seizure room, and at last accounts madame was dolng what she could to explain matters and have them restoréd to her.
