The Alleged Forgery. THE MATTER OF 1HE STaMPs. Postmaster Ainger, of this city, has gore to New York to consuit the national republican committee with reference to tne alleged forged Chinese letter. In reply to the card cf Chairman Dickson, of the central democra‘ic committee of the District (in yesterday's Star) Col. Ainger over his signaturesays: “If Mr. Wiliam Dickson will produce a letter bearing the postmark of the Washington city postofice of adate in January, 1880, that is identical with that on the alleged Garfield Chinese letter, I will pay him $10 for his trouble. Let us have sn end tononsense and come down to busi- ness.” in reply to this challenge Chairman Dickson says he never stated he had a letter stamped in JaLuary with the same date stamp as that on the Chinese letter. What he does state is that between December, 1879, and May, 1580, he has letters which bear four different date stamps, al of which were stam) at the Washington city, st office. Col. Ainger, it 1s alleged, stated that he changed the rubber stamp then in use on the 13th of April. In this the post- master would appear to be mistaken, as Mr. Dickson has In his custody an envelope with the date stamp made at the city post office on February 27, 1590, which is apparently identical with the stainp now in use. This, of cou: does not show that the letter is genuine, but only that one of the points of evidence to prove ita forgery is not established. Some of the other evidences of forgery submitted by Post- master Ainger have not yet been met. ‘ursuit of Victorio.

B. Doyle when arrested. The bonds have } Deen examined by the officers of the service and | by experts in the loan division of the Treasury department. They are remarkably good coun- terfeits, No one but an expert would detect their spurious character. Smith, who engraved the pie Says that originally 30 coupons were onthe bonds. When taken from Doyie there Was but one coupon attached. The others hat been cut off in a jogged way to look as if they had been clipped one ata time. There are in several places wider spaces of white near the margin in the counterfeit than in the genuine. The big seal with “Washington” right through the cen- ter, is but feebly brought out in the countertett, Tn the loan division they detected the counter- feit better in the fnltiais “D. L. P.” and “J. 0. “D, L. P.” entered the bonds in the loan 0} and “J.O.” received them in the register’s office. These signatures are stiff in the counterfett— not written in the flowing hands of the gen- uine. The numbers of the bonds are a little larger in the counterfeit than in the genuine. The signature “EK. M. Platt for register” is an excellent counterfeit. The vignette of Secretary Chase ts perfect, The one coupon left on each pond could not be detected as counterfeit any- where. It may be that the other coupons have been passed. Doyle will have an examinaion to-morrow in Chicago. Brockway will also be examined to-morrow in Brooklyn. The twenty- seven $100 notes found in Doyle's valise were also forwarded to the secret service. Upon ex amination they were found to be genuine and sent back to Chicago. Chief Brooks has gone to Chicago to further look into Doyle’s doings.
