Tho despatch reports the arrival of the Supply at Civita Vecchia on the 2ist ot February. Tho passage was a Jong one, owing to heavy gales from the northwest, northeast and southwest in the Atlantic, and a succes- sion of light easterly winds for the eight days provious to reaching Gibraltar. Of the thirteen days occupied for the passago from the Straits of Gibraltar to the port of Crvita Vecchia five were with fair winds and the re- mainder either calms or light head winds. Finding no authorized agent of the Centennial Com- mission, Commander Hayward thought it best to pro- ceed at once to Rome and hurry torward as much as possible the Centennial contribations. He expected to sail from Civita Vecchia by March 2 at tho latest for Leghorn, leaving Leghorn about the Lith of March. It would be impossible to leave earlier without leaving be- hind many contributions. The contributions from Rome not ready by the lst of March were to be for- warded to Leghorn for shipment.

BARTER AND SALE OF PATRONAGE What Is Known of War Department Corrup- tion on the Missouri, A GREATER THUNDERBOLT TO STRIKE. Bismanck, D. T., March 15, 1876. Those who imagine that Belknap’s corruption be- ganand ended with the sale of the traderships at Fort Sill must prepare themse!ves for disclosures which will show that, with but few favored exceptions, the ofMicers and soldiers at almost every military post on the frontier were systematically plundered by Bel- knap and his confidants in order to maintain him in his extravagance. The fact that a man filling so high and honorable a station should stoop so low and be- come so corrupt must be accepted as a cause of regret to the entire nation. The following develop- ments, however, substantiated as they are by docu- mentary evidence embracing facts and figures in the handwriting of the guilty parties, will still further humiliate the American people when it is learned that ° UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE which your correspondent has seen and heard will be sent from this place for Washington in afew days, proving that wiffin one week after Belknap’s installation as Secretary of War he began his scheme for the sate of all the prominent traderships on the frontier; that they were eventually disposed of for money, a single post, that of Fort Lincoln, opposite this town, paying to Belknap and hisfriends more than $12,000 yearly—other smaller posts paying to the same parties in proportion—and that in the barter and sale of these posts the evidence referred to will show that one Senator, one ex- Senator—both from the same State, the latter now Governor ofa Territory—and an ex-Governor of a Territory now holding a high and responsible posi- tion in the War Department, and an ex-Territorial Marshal, have all been deeply implicated. Ex-Gov- ernor Campbell, of Wyoming, made a special visit to Washington to’ control the appointment and sale of post traderships, On his return he announced through his brother—whose letter your correspon- dent has seen and which with other connecting documents will be forwarded by mail—that he had succeeded in his mission, and none but administra- tion men should hold post traderships. In the letter it is demanded that, while THE CAMPBELL BROTHERS are to receive a third of the profits, they are to supply none of the capital; itis to be kept secret that Governor Campbell is interested. Governor Campbell’s brother, in arranging terms, said he could not close the bargain until he had submitted them to the Governor. J. M. Hedrick, of Ottumwa, Towa, who occupies the same position there in inter- nal revenue that Joyce did at St. Louis, is known to have been the recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the sale of post traderships, which sums. can be traced to other parties holding high official positions, including Belknap. One letter from Hedrick, written in 1870, announces that he can control any tradership in any department. Another letter to a post trader, finding fault with the latter for the small profits derived, says, speaking of General Rice, of Iowa, “You know Rice is a bach- elor of expensive habits living in Washington. He must have his codtishing in summer and bis trip to Florida in winter, and you must pony up and keep him going. He can’t live on less than $10,000 a year.” The trader at Fort Lincoln, fearing removal a few weeks ago, Orville Grant’s clerk at Standing Rock advised him to see Grant. “He can fx you.” A telegram has been seen here from Delano to Or- ville Grant, making the appointment of Raymond, of this place, as trader at Berthold upon the tele- graphic demand of Grant. The post traders along the Missouri River, having been taxed almost to the fall amount of their profits, and regarding the down- fall of Belknap as " THE BREAKING UP OF THE RING, are anxious and willing to hasten to Washington and disclose all they know. Some of them are here awaiting the departure of the first train for the East and declare they intend to implicate certain oMicials now standing high In public confidence. ‘The post of Fort Fetterman paid a profit of $76,000 in two years, to be divided among the members of the ring. The ex-Senator referred to, among other appointments disposed of, placed his son at one of the most lucrative positions. COMMUTATION OF A DEATH SEN- TENCE. MICHAEL MURPHY AND THE NANUET MURDER. GOVERNOR TILDEN COMMUTES THE SENTENCE . TO IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE. Atmasy, March 15, 1876, The petition for # commutation of the doom of Michael Murphy, sentenced to death for the alleged murder of Mrs. Matilda Hujus, at Nanuet, Rockland connty, N. ¥., was presented to Governor Tilden to- day by bis counsel, Mr. Henry Daly, Jr., accom- panied by Park Commissioner Joseph J. 0’Donohue, who has taken an active interest in the case, Tho | Governor, on hearing mention of the case, showed a prompt willingness io grant a reprieve, but Mr. Daly | urged the extension of a more definite favor, His Excellency, wfter hearing some points from counsel verbally expressed and receiving the papers in the petition, directed a commutation of the death sentence to imprisonment for life, the likelihood being thata more Oxact investigation of the case may result finally in an Executive pardon.
