THE FACTS IN THE CASE. During the war, when men enlisted and were entitled to bounty money, some of their valua- bles were held back at the recruiting stations to be forwarded to them when they were reported at the front. This was done to prevent bounty jump- ing. In some cases the men deserted. Naturally they put in no Claim to what had been retained from them at the rendezvous. The paymaster- ee iurned over the unclaimed matter, nds and money to the second auditor of the ‘Treasury. The late C. F. Herring, chiet clerk, and afterwards acting deputy second audi- tor, had charge of the money and bonds. They went to him after a schedule had been prepared in another office of the Sec- ond Auditor's division. That schedule was kept. In Herring’s office was a large safe, whicn had private drawers in it. Two of these draw- ers contained, he sald, his valuables and private rorerty. Another was for F. H. Goodall, dis- ursing clerk, There was another drawer ¢on- taining cfiicial pro) y. The keys to the two private drawers ot Herring, and that of the official drawer, never passed out of his posses- Sion until after his death. Suortly before his death, in 1879, Mrs. Herring asked Mr. Henry L Wilson and Mr. Goodall (sIving them at the same Ume a bunch of keys) to look into her husband's desk, and get anything contained therein that there might ba of value. Noting of any value was found in bis desk, or in his two private drawers in the safe when afterwards examined. Herring bad been seen to goto the safe and take therefrom a large roll of bills, which was supposed by theclerk, who witnessed the act, to contain about $500, though he could only gues3. The bills seemed to be In the denominations of fives, tens, and twenties. Herring said that it was moncy awaiting Treasury action before a final disposition, ‘hen the bonds and money taken from the bounty jumpers were sent to the office the schedule snowed a large number of bills on state banks. They were counter- feit, and so marked and scheduled. Several officials in the bureau, who had actel as chief clerk and a3 deputy auditor, after the money and bonds were put in the sale ty Heir ng, were never entrusted with the keys. “Before tue package left Mr. Rathboue, the clerk trom whos hands it went to Herring, the former took out several papers and put in statement of his authority and reasons for so doing. The papers were wanted in the course of business, There bad also been deposited with Herring by Mr. Harmon, tn charge of the Givision for the investigation of frauds, $1 in noney. This money was not turned in’ e “yreasury, but put in the safe, in Herring's p*t vate drawer. After his death, in 1879, the wes examined. The $1,315.24 was schedule of the contents of the offizial package was found and the counterfeit money was found. The latter was turned over to Chict Brocks, of the secret service, who conducted the tnvestigation, and 1s now to his hands ‘There was shown On the schedule three U.S. notes, $100 each in denomination, with coupons attached worth $332.55, and six Monroe county, New York, bonds, with coupons attached Worth $2,539.72, The above securities were also missing, making, with the interest mowey, #4,157.51 that was gone. It was ascertained that on he 1sth of August, 1573, C.F. Herring had sent through Adams’ exp! company the Monroe county bonds for redemption. An inspection of the books of the company showed that the bonds had been sent. Mr. Herring was not an extravagant man. The money he took did not §0 to his family. He lived ‘very plafaly—not even up to two-thirds of his salary. He was very Close in spending his money, whether out- side lis family or at home.

The business committee reported a resolution tn which 1t was declared that 1t was inadvisable for the alliance to appoint delegates to represent it at th Methodist Council tobe heid in London next year as requested, as the constitution of the alilance Goes net provide for a reciprocation of such correspondence. ‘The resolution gave rise to an exlended and spirited discussion, par- ticipated in by Rev. Drs. Nelson, of GeLeva, Cairns and Mitchell, of Scotland, Hon, Wm. E. Dodge, of New York, and Judge Jones, of Maryland, the tenor of the argumenis being that the alllance should encourage such overtures and extend the hand of fellowship to all who were engaged in the spread of the gospel and the development of Curistianity On tnotion of Dr. Prime, the whole subject wa3 Tecomimitted to the business committee. The same committee suggested the appointment of a. committee to collect Information concerning the election and ordination of vistting elders. ‘The recommendation was adopted. and Rev. Dr. Knox was made chairman of the commit- tee. The business committee also recom- mended that the next council of the alliance be held in 1554, and that the invitation of the Irish delegates to have the council meet- ings held in Belfast be accepted. The resolu- ton was adopted with a rising vote, and Dr. Knox, on behalf of the Irish delegates, returned thanks for the honor. In reply to questions put by delegates, Rev. Dr. Prime explained Uthat the year 15S4 had been selected instead of 1583 for the next council meeting, on account of the international exhibition to be held in New York in the latter year, which would interfere with the attendance of delegates from this side cf the water, If the coun were held in the Same year.
