Loxpox, April 22, 1876, The Pall Mall Gasette's special despatch from Berlin says that it is again proposed that in tho event ot all other means of restoring peace in the Turkish prov- ances failing, Austria should intervene forcibly.

WHAT THE SULTAN CALCULATED UPON. A despatch tothe Reuter Telegram Company from Berlin says it ig understood that Turkey has refused to continue negotiations with the Northern Powers and prolong the armistice, under the impression that the alliance between the throe Emperors has becomo ‘weakened. As this supposition has now proved to have been un- founded, it is hoped in diplomatic circles that the Porte will ultimately consent to further negotiations, a course which is also being prossed upon her by England, A CAMP OF OBSERVATION. A Reuter telegram from Constantinople says an im- perial decree has been published, ordering the forma- ton of a camp of observation at Scutari, in Albania, for the purpose of watching the attitude of Montenegro, but the rumor that the Porte had decided to declare war against Montenegro is unfounded.

Tho President's visit is said to be for relaxation merely and to have no connection with the secret Nuval Investi- gating Committee of the House, just concluding here some interesting private meetings, which have re- sulted in some very damaging revelations regarding Grant's present Secretary of the Navy, Mr, Robeson.

The number of buildings erected on the grounds was | 156, all but about half a dosen of these being ho: ie cottages occupied by members of the Camp Meeting Association, The cottages were all built hy families ve- cupying them, they paying rent to the association | for the use of the grounds, so that the loss will mostly | fall on individuals rather than om the association as a | vody. The houses average in value about $300, though some of the tincat were worth pretty well on to $1,000.

LYING PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENTS AND WHAT WAS BEHIND THEM—QUEER LOANS UNDER SECRETARIES M'CULLOCH AND BOUT- WELL. St. Lovis, April 22, 1876, The Times will publish to-morrow some statemonts made to ono of its reporters by Sergeant George Pren- der, in charge of the signal station here, before he left for Washington last night, whore he will testify before the Committee on Expenditures of the Treasury Department, Prender’s statement is to the effect that he was public debt statement clerk in tho Treasury Department under Secretary McCulloch, and that while so engaged he discovered that gront frauds were being practised upon the govern- that each public debt statement reported money in the Treasury that was not on hand, while the government was paying three per cent for money to mect temporary necessities. He also dis- covered that hundreds of thousands of dollars of gov- ernment money was placed in the hands of eonfeder- ates outside the department, who loaned it back to the overnment as Individual ands and drew interest on it render says while ursuing these investigations he was informed by a clerk in the Redemption Burcau named Richardson's that immense frauds were being perpe- trated in that bureau, and that fortunes were being made by reporting money destroyed which was pre- served ; that only one-half of the money turned in for destruction was actually destroyed, the other haif being divided among the perpetrators of the frauds, Prender says he reported these facts to General Spin- ner, who was Treasurer, but the latter de- ctined to investigate them, saying he did not believe frauds were being practised. In March, 1869, a Congressional Retrenchment Com- mitte was examining alleged frauds in the Treasury Printing Department, and Prender says he went to Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, who was chairman of the com- mittee, laid all the facts before him, and asked tor an mvestigation. Mr. Edmuhds replied that the time of the committce was tov short to warrant extended examination, and nothing was done. Prender says after Mr. Boutweil became Secretary of the Treasury he (Prender), who at that time had retired from the Treasury Department, | informed him of the discoveries he had made while a clerk in the department, and the Secretary promised to investigate the matter. Shortiy after this a man named Fox, who had also been a clerk mm the Kedemption Bureau, calied on Prender and stated he had . been’ appointed detective by Secretary Boutwell to work up these frauds, and wanted ail the pereeee evicence he had in tis pos- session.

THE SECRET INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE CONCLUDES ITS SESSIONS—ROBE- SON DOOMED, Puitapetrnta, April 22, 1876. Messrs. Whitthorne, Jones, Harris and Barleigh, the sub-committee of the House Committee on al Ex- ponditures, who have been sitting in hia city for the past two weeks, concluded their labors here this aiter- noon and started for Washington to report to the other members of the committee.

The crowd commenced to gather about balf- past three, and by the time the coaches were drawn up in line there must have been at least 1,500 spectators, ranged ton and twelve deep, on the eastern side of the square. The Union League Club balcony was crowded with tne membors of the club, and every ayniladle stoop was Occupied by the curious public, It was @ remarkably respectable assemblage, for as a rulo deadhead epec- tacles are usually patronized by the rough element; ‘Dut on this occasion seventy-five per cent of the'spec- tators belonged to upper tendom. Awaiting the eom- favored with an impromptu parade of dogcarts and tandem, T carts, Stanhope and mail phactons and equestrians, and it looked as if there was to be a gen- eral exhibition of the equine race. A few minutes be- fore four P. M. the patience of the crowd was rewarded as Mr. William Jay, the President of the club, came down Madison avenue, and, after moving as far as Twenty-third street, turned round and drew up under the windows of the Union League Ciub. Mr, Jay drove a good looking team of bays, about sixteen hands, the wheelers a shade darker than the leaders. Tho coach was of the regular English build, the upper half painted black, the lower yellow, and red wheels. Mr. Frederick Bron- son arrived about the same time and drew up behind Mr. Jay. Mr, Bronson was also driving a bay team to a dark blue coach, with red wheels, Mr, Delancey Kane was the next arrival, tooling a scratch team, compris- ing day leaders and dapple brown wheelers, The coach—of the latest English pattern—was dark blue on top, with a bright yellow body and wheels, The toot of a horn announced the arrival of Mr. Leonard Jerome, driving a clever looking, well matched bay team to a dark biue coach, with red wheels. Mr, Jorome looked perfectly at bome on the box and handled the ribbons as if ho understood what he wi about, The next arrival was a neat looking English coach, drawn by @ showy looking chestnut team, the wheelers about sixteen hands | and tho leaders a trifle smaller, somewhero tn the neighborhood of 1534. The off leader had rather a funny knee action, throwing out his right fore foot in rather an unnatural style. Tho last arrival, Mr. William P. Douglas, the Secretary of the club, drove one of the neatest looking coaches inthe club, The body was painted dark bluo, with bright yellow wheels, ‘The team were dark chestnuts, about 15.3, and appeared to be well up to work. Shortly after four P. M. the President, Mr. Jay, turned into Twenty-sixth street, and the string of coaches, six tn all, followed close behind, They wheeled up Fifth avenue, which was crowded with carriages of every description, and headed for the Park, The weather was as pleasant as it possibly could be, and nothing could be more enjoyable than the drive through the Park to Stetson’s, The drive on the eastern sido of the Park was crowded with | carriages, aud some very neat Stanbopes, dog carts and mail phaetons were observed. It looked in the Park as if everybody that owned a horse and wagon had con- trived to be out on this spectal occasion, and the coaches received quite an ovation, Thoy drove as far as Stet- son’s and then returned, walking part of tho way, so that every one had a good view. Leaving the Park they drove down as far as Washington square and then | returned to Madison square, where they were dismissed, On the whole, the opening day was a decided success, and tho Coaching Club deserve the thanks of the public for the very pleasing exhibition they afforded them. One of tho coaches in the parade, that driven by Mr. Kane, an experienced manipulator of the ribbons, will commence to make daily trips to Pelham Bridge and return on tho Ist of May. Nothing can be pleas- anter during the warm summer months than a drive on the top ofa coach behind a good team and through such a prettily timbered country. It is to be hoped that some other member of the club will follow Mr. Kane’s example and put on a-coach on the western side of the ind, along the Boulevard and through Inwood to Yonkers or some other adjacent spot. Judging from | the demand that has already been made tor scats in Mr. Kane’s coach, there would be no difficulty in ob- taining plenty of passengers. COACHING. {From the Commercial Advertiser. } The announcement {is made that, on and after May 1, acoach will be ran from the Hotel Brunswick to Pol- bam Bridge and return each day. Passengers will be taken up along the route and set down wherever de- sired. That will be very pleasant; and, as tho faro will be $3 to go and come—fifty cents extra each way undertaking is bound to be very agreeable to whoever is inclined to that kind of div sion. The coach will be gotten up in famous style, and the guard will be provided with a horn that will make the hills and dales of Westchester melodious with his tooting, The driver will not be quite in the mould of Mr. Weller, 3r., but it is given oat that he knows his business thoroughly, and in that respect, at lenst, he resembles Samivel's father. But seriously, these coaching journcys ought to bo very enjoyable. it may appear incongruous that a gentleman of ease and for- tune should take upon himself the of coachman and drive out every day, rain or shine, but he might do decidedly worse, AN AMERICAN COACH.

GRAND EXTRAORD THE LUZERNE COUNTY FRAUDS IN PENNSYLVA- NIA—FRESH DEVELOPMENTS. WILxEsBARRR, April 21, 1876, ‘The gentlemen appointed by the Court to make what 1s now known bere as the “big audit,” which is to cover the financial transactions of Luzerne county officials for the past seven years, organized during the present week. The fact that they have ordered the printing of ‘a large numbor of subpoenas for witnesses to appear bo- fore them indicates that they expoct to obtain an 1m- menso amount of evidence and propose to perform their duties in the most thorough manner, They will have to investigate the accounts of the officers of the courts, im addition to those of County Comn and thi brings within their purview the tr: of the Court Colonel 5: and Mil merman; l’rothonotaries Philbin, Siebel and Trimmer; Registers of Wilis Platz and French. How far the State, county and people have beon cheated im the way of illegal fees is thus certain to be iMuminated, and the agitation in the Wilkesbarre Ring is more intense than when the developments were madg in regard to the crooked ways of the recent County Commissioners. The excitement in relation to the frauds upon the | county by Commissioners Williams, Gersbacher end | Seibel is still warm, and yet we hear of irregularities im the conduct of tho present Board of County | Auditors, It bas been demonstrated be- yond a question that the testimony taken be- fore them has been tampered with, garbled and altered so a8 to screen certain guilty parties, anda well grounded suspicion has been created as to the correctness of the rest of the evidence. It is alleged ‘tbat one of the auditors is under some sort of an obliga- tion to the counsel of the late Board of Commissioners, Mr. George B. Kulp, and that testimony inculpating that gentleman in taking a percentage on public con- tracts has been suppressed upon such a flimsy consid- eration. 1t1s rumored to-day that Mr. Kulp will be re- quired to resign his position as legal adviser of the present Board of County Commissioners in consequence of this disgraceiul dénouement in the county scandal. Ex-Commissioner Gersbacher, who, it was supposed, had departed for‘ rda, {s still ‘on tno borders of Luzerne county, Lei « have been received from him this week asking s. | whilom friends to become hig bail as a condition of his return, but nobody seems to want him to come back. i In view of the present upheaval in regard to county affairs, it is now proposed tw go into an investigation of our municipal finances. Fora Kem or more past it has been patent that the city of Wilkesbarre bas beon get- ting greatly behind hand, although all the money that can be borrowed according to law bas been raised and the taxation is fully up to the mark placed by the Leg. islaturo, Honest taxpayers are becoming disturbed and want to know when this state of things is to come to an end WORMS’ EXTRADITION.
