Lap- pin’s bond is over $1,000,000, so that the State is se- cure against loss. He was elected at tho last election by republicans. There ts great excitement among the politicians in Kansas, among whom Lappin had been a leader for many years. THE WHISKEY FRAUDS. THE SUPPRESSION OF THE MURDOCH DOcU- MENTS IN WASHINGTON—INGENIOUS EXPLA- NATIONS. Wasurneton, Dec. 20, 1875. Attempts have been made to break the force of the Heravp’'s St. Louis special despatch, setting fortn the fact that ex-Collector Murdoch attempted to expose the Whiskey Ring of that place to the President im 1873, but that his reports were either suppressed or covered up by some one about the White House. To offset these serious statements, it has been telegraphed from here widely that General Babcock, im- mediately upon receiving these Murdoch papers, turned them over to the Secretary of the Treasury. The facts, however, place this matter in a very different light, and not only sustain the Herap’s despatch, but make the matter much more difficult of explanation on the part of General Babcock. It ap- pears that the original letter of Collector Murdoch to the President was dated in June, 1873; that it was re- ceived at the White House soon after, and referrea by Mr. Sniffen, one of the President's secretaries, to the Secretary of the Treasury. There is nothing to show that the President was allowed to seo it or know anything about it On reaching the Treasury Department, Mr. Richardson boing then Secretary, it was referred by aclerk in his office to the Commisstoner of Internal Revenue, and by this reference it fell at once into the hands of Avery, where it appears to have rested quietly and never to have been brought to the attention of any one with a view to its consideration, although it made a very full statement in regard to the great frauds in full blast in St. Louis. The story told by Babcock’s friends of late, that he made this whole matter known to Secretary Bristow, is, in the light of these facts, one of the most sus- picious points in the case, The version given out by his friends is that some writer in Washington, who pretended to have the run of the press, enclosed to General Babcock, then at Long Branch, copies of Mur- dock’s statements, accompanied by a biackmailing let- ter offering to suppress the publication of these docu- ments fora proper consideration, and that General Babcock, upon receiving these, at once placed them in the hands of Secretary Bristow. Unfortunately, it would now look as if this story of sabcock’s friends was a manufactured affair from beginning to end, con- cocted nearly two months after the iavestigation which led to the late exposures in St Louis began and fully a month after General Babcock became aware that the inquiry was in progress. Ne attempt whatever was made to’ discover the alleged blackmailing correspond- ent here, and no inquiry even was made about him in eny quarter, The alleged letters enclosing the Mur- dock papers were not, as stated for effect, placed in the hands of Secretary Bristow, but, like the original letter of Mr. Murdock to the President, were | sent to the department, and, without even coming to the notice of the Secretary, were sent over to the office of internal revenue, and there again went into the hands of persons who were careful that they should | not attract attention. All of these papers will now, of necessity, play a part in the forthcomIng trial of Gen- eral Babcock, and this will probably necessitate full in- quiry into the origin of the so-calied letters of black. EX-GOVERNOR MOSES AND WHIPPER. GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN’S OPINION OF THEIR SELECTION AS JUDGES—IT 18 ‘‘A HORRIBLE DISASTER.” Cuanuzsrox, 8. C., Dec, 20, 1875 Governor Chamberlain, In an Tatarview with S repre. sentative of the News and Courier, speaking of the so- | lection of ex-Governor Moses and Whipper as Circuit Judges, said:— | I look upon the selection as a horrible disaster—a disaster egualiy great to the State, to the republican party, and greatest of all to those communities which yall be doomed to fecl the full effects of the presence | of Moses and Whipper upon the Beuch. I did a year ago speak publicly of Whipper, who was then a candi- date for the very position to which be has now been elected. Then I denounced him as incapable and ut- | torly unfit for the office of Judge, Of Moses no honcst man can have a different opinion. Neither Moses nor Whipper has any qualities which approach to a qualiti- | cation for judicial postions. ‘The reputation of Moses is covered deep with charges which are believed by all who are familiar with the facts, of corruption, bribery and the utter prostitution of all his official powers to the worst possible purposes. This calamity is inGuitely greater, in my judgment, than any whieh hus ze falien on this State, or, I might add, on any part of the South. Moses as Governor is endurable as compared with Moses as judge. Q What, in your judgment, will be the offect of the election of these men? A. The gravest consequences of all kinds will follow. One immediate effect will obviously be the reorganiza- tion of the democratic party within the State as the only means left, in the judgment of its members, for opposing @ solid and reliable front to this terribio crevasse of misgovernment and public debaucbery. I could have wished, as a republican, to have kept off such an issue, batt have q profound belief in the logic of events, and a providence, too, that shapes events, and I do not allow myself to think that the good and honest men of South Carolina will find it impossible, because they are organized as democrats, to give their help to wnomsoever shall be best able to undo the ter- rible wrongs of Jast Thursday. Iam fre to say that my highest ambition as Governor bas been to make the ascendancy of the republican party in South Carolin compatible with the attainment and maintenance of as | high and pure atone in the administration of public affairs as can pe exhibited in the proudest democratic State of the South, and it was also my fondest hope, by peaceful agencies here in South Carolina, of all the | the Southern States, to have worked out through tho republican party the solution of the most dificult and one of the inost interesting political and social prob- which this contury has presented. If these ro- | hall not be reached the responsibility for the | lil not rest upon the conservative citizens of South Carolina, who have hitherto, with unvarying | fidelity and generosity, stood by me in my work, but | upon these und all like them who dealt the cause of good governinent so deadly a blow on Thursday. | The Governor went on to say that there were grave | doubts on constitutional grounds of the validity of the | Judicial election as to four out of the erght circuits, | Whipper and Moses being among the doubtful cases. The action of the Legislature continues to be the subject of great popular excitement al! over the State, THE THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR RACE AGAIN POSTPONED. San Francisco, Deo, 20, 1876.

AN OPENING FOR INTERVENTION. The Efficiency of Our Navy for Offensive and Defensive Operations. SENATOR CRAGIN ON THE SITUATION, Wasuinctox, Dec. 20, 1875, Tho ghost of a war with Spain will not down. With Congress out of the way it bogins to walk about again, but, as yet, ona dim and shadowy way, a8 a ghost should, THR LATEST Gosstr on the subject takes its rise in the assumption that Spain in her recent note could not discuss the pacifica, tion of Cuba in reply tothe noto of Mr, Cushing, be- cause the latter did not refer to pacification at all, but only spoke of the damage being done to various com- mercial interests on the island by the continuation of the war, andin this argument, it is held, President Grant will now find a basis for making his conjectured recommendation to Congress POR INTERVENTION. Tho undefined fear still exists that the President {n- tends to do “something dangerous,” and there is more or less apprehension concerning tho length to which he may go. i SENATOR CRAGIN’S VIRWS. In @ long imterview to-day with Senator Cragin, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, the Hispano-Cuban question was discussed by him without reserve. As to the possibility of warlike operations arising out of the present status of affairs, he said emphatically that, while he had no means of knowing what President Grant's purposes wero as tothe expected additional message to Congress, he did not for &@ moment hesitate to believe that the President would RECOMMEND INTERVENTION, and that, of course, meant war, He spoke quite frecly of his conviction that too much reliance for sea fight- ing was placed upon iron-clads, while the efficacy of the torpedo system, except in harbors or still waters, was greatly exaggerated, He felt that, for a time of course, in the event of hostilities breaking out, our commerco on the sea would suffer materially, but, notwithstand- ing the acknowledged WEAKNESS OF OUR NAVY in the character ot vessels and their incapacity to cope with the more formidable of the Spanish trigates, there was one great essential in which the navy of the United States excelled them, which consisted in the superior skill and seamansbip of our officers and sailors, While he did not know how long it would take to make needed additions to our navy in case of war to remove present inadequacy, he did not doubt that, with the present condition of OUR NAVY YARDS, which he had inspected last sammer with the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, much rapid work could be done and the requirements of the exigency eurly met. He oxpressed his belief in the superior effects pro duced by the old method of marine fighting and the use of wooden vessels, instancing the commanding position of Great Britain in this regard. Senator Cragin further said, while he could not fathom what was being contem- plated by the President and had not made any inquiries in that connection, be believed that something serious was going to be done, and that there was something yet behind. “We are going to have stirring times before long,’’ was his final remark. Itis proper to say, in this connection, that more than a year ago, while still Chairman of the Senate Com- mittee of Naval Affairs, Senator Cragin affirmed, with- out reserve or concealment, that the Cuban question would, sooner or later, branch out into A CASUS BELL with Spain, He personifies in his unrestrained, yet firm and moderate expressions on the whole question, the real character of the old-time down East fighting Skipper who went from the Atlantic coast out on to the high sea to fight Britain’s best and strongest ship. THE CANAL FRAUDS. EXAMINATION OF THAYER CONTINUED—PUR- CHASE OF CERTIFICATES—THE WILLARD- JOHNSON BILLS--THE PROFIT PER CEN. Aupaxy, Dec, 20, 1875. The Canal Fraud Investigating Commission met this morning to continue the examination of Auditor Thayer. Mr. G. W, Miller, counsel for Thayer, said his | client bad prepared s statement of facts as to each | transaction under investigation. If agreeable he would | present the statement, and then, if desirable, submit to an examination. After some parley {t was understood that the ex- amination should go on first and the etatement might | be heard afterward. Mr, Thayer attempted to explain, in answer to quese tions, his action in connection with the bill of McDer- moth He said that John B. Pierson, of Troy, suggested getting him an award; by taking McDermott’s struc- gore it Watthought it would cost less; he made the ap- “plication on the ground that he was not likely to live long; he spoko to the canal appraisers about the matter, 9. Bis pos not go to Mr. McDermott and get him to refffiqiish in blank to Pierzon? A 1 don’t know | whether I did or not; I think McDermott executed a | power of attorney to Pierson; { got up the claim on the theory that this water power was given on the consid- eration that another water power was taken for it, aud that the State could not take it without a & ation. ‘hen, &s Auditor of the State, you assiste yon tit a PrevAded cluim an the State? A, No, sits I did not assist in any pretended claim; I regardéd tay; just. Ate | Mr. Thayer denied tnat payments which he had made under chapter 270 of the Laws of 1875 were un- | Jawfal or that he took appropriations to pay certificates in which he himself was interested. Paid warrant for | $14,660 was produced for work done prior to May 1, 1875, He said he was interested in all the certiticates cancelled by the warrant. He claimed that he under- stood the law of 1870 as justifying the payments. Q. Did you have an interest in these certificates? A. I bad an interest in some of them. Mr. Magone—Which ones? A I don’t think I had any interest in the $31,000 one. Mr. Orr—What was the aggregate of the transactions you bad with the Troy City Bank? A. $281,886 36. | ‘Mr. Orr—Have you any record of these transactions? | A. None, except upon scraps of paper; I never kepta book account of them, ‘Mr. Orr—Have you those scraps of paper? A. I may | have; I don’t know. i Mr. Orr—Will you look for them? A. 1 will; I have | no concealment to make. | | | Several certificates on the part of Schnyler work were shown him and he said he thought he was anthor- ized to pay them without the passage of the act ot 1870. Thayer paid Dennison $60,042, less nearly one month’s | interest. He bought these certificates tor himself, and some eighteen or ninetecu days afterward paid himsclt; | he did not andit these bills. Mr. Magone—I ask if you did not have to audit them, when the law requires you to audit? Mr. Thayer—Yee, sir. Mr. Magone—And yet, betng Auditor of the State, you purchased certificates which you Were to audit? Mr, Thayer—Yes, sir. He purchased certificates for $38,000 for G. A. Stone, ; on account of the Troy City Bank. | Mr. Magone— find that you were put In possegsion . of $300,000 by the Comptroller to apply to this work be- | fore you made these purchases | Mr, Thayer—You must bear in mind that borrowed+ money must be taken care of first. Mr, Magone—That we know nothing of We did not) kuow of your borrowing money for this work. He did not know whether any money was borrowed or | not; the books would show (they snowed a payment of | $133,000, leaving $165,000 of the $300,000); ho had |) money when the certificates were presented. Several || certificates were shown bim which be purchased and afterward audited, In thecase of the Willard Johnson certificates I borrowed the money from the Troy City) Bank, and passed them over to Mr. Pierson, President) of the bank, to bold them fur me. « Mr. Magone—Don’t you remember that we gave yon,| notice before the purchase of those certificates that.| they were fraudulent? Witness—No, sir, Mr. Magone—I know, and ail the members of the commission know it, for we gave you a written notice. Mr, Thayer—I was assured that they were not fraudulent in an affidavit made by Delos De Wolf; that | affidavit I drew up; {twas apart of the bargain that l | was to have that affidavit; I paid for tne Willard Jobn- | fon certificates eight per cent—eight per cent ofthe | jaces and accruod interest; that amounted to $3,970 60 in addition to the accrued ‘interest, which amounted to | about $1,000; the gross discount’ was about ten por | cent; | received from the bank about $5,000 more than the certificates which I gave as security amounted to. ‘Adjourned tll twelve o'clock noun to-morrow, SUPPOSED BANK ROBBER ARRESTED, Mearns, Tenn, Dee, 20, 1875.7 A special to the Associated Press from Forest City, | Ark., says:--P.
