Very Dangerous Counterfeit $100 Bills, Superior to the Genuine, in Circulation. Another Important Decision by the Attorney General, Affecting the Pacific™ Railroads. Garfield's Back Pay. Special dispatch to The Bee. Wasuisgros, Juve 27,1 8. m.— The fo'lowing letter explains itself: TrEASURY DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF THE SECEETARY, WasnIxerox, June 22, 7o H. D. Dusey, Esq., Des Moiues, 1a: Sir—In reply to your letter of the 17th just received, ssking to be in- formed on what date Hon. Jes. A. Garfield paid into the tressury his back-psy el thelimy Seay show this traneaction, I kave to in- form you, it appears from records of of this office,that thesum of §4548 was deposited to thecredit of the treasurer of the United States in the name of Jas. A. Garfield, onaccount of rervac- tion increase of salary cf the 22ud of April, 1873, and tha t] oant was covered into the the treasury by a miecellsnous covering warrant num- ber 704, second quarter, 1873, and conaot be withdrawn except by act of ey respesitally, gy Urrox, Assistaht Secrotary, QUARANTINE STATIONS. The first comptroller of the tressuty has decided that the national board of health can use the unexpended bal- ance of the $100,000 which was left over from the sppropristion of last year. The board will spend this amount in the erection of quarantine stations and buildings. A VERY DANGEEOUS COUNTERFEIT of national baok notes is in circula- By means of skeleton plates the notes of any national bank can be counterfeite The counterfeit detected, a $100 bill, is in several re. spects ‘much better than the genuine, work on which is not as well reg Istsd. These counterjeits have re dy lipelnd on the National Reve- re bavk of Boston, Pittsburg Na- tional bauk, Mechanics’ National baok of New Bedferd, Mass., Pitts- field National bank and National Ex- change bank of Baltimore. The eomptroller of the currency will not, as has been ststed, withdraw all the aational bank notes of the denomin- ation of §100 from circulation. He, bowever, gives notice that no parson should receive any notes of this ds- nomination on any of the banks named above. This will result in the with- drawal from circulation of all $100 notes on these banks. To call in all $100 national bank notes would inter- fere very materially with the business of the country. IMPOETANT DECISION. The treasury department publishes the opinion of Attorney General Devens in reply to the Inquiries of the quartermaster general in relation to all compensation due for traneporia- tion eervices rendered for the quarter- tormaster’s deparimeut over the Union and Central Pucmc railroads and those roads owned, Teased and_operated by the Union snd Central Pacific roads, in which the attorney general advises that all compeusition due to_the Northern and Centrsl and Southern Pacific railroads be withbeld.

He refers to soction 5260 of the re atutes still m force, which .ucl-re- that the secretary of the tressury is directed to withhold all payments to any railcoad company #nd its assigne, on account of freights or transportation over their roads of auy kind to the amount of the pay- ments made by the United States for interest upcn bonds the United States issued o any such company, and which thall not have been reimbursed, together with the five per centum of the net earnings duc and unapplied as provided by law. 2OUSING UP REPUBLICANS. ‘Special Dispatch to Tus Lxs.

A Democratic Yarn About the Surratt Case. Spacial Dispateh toThe Be. ‘WasHINGTON, June 23, 1 & m.— The Sunday Capital yesterday pib- lishes sn_intercsting interview with Judge John Clampett, of Chicago, the leading counsel of Mrs. Surratt, of which (ha foliowing Is an extract: “‘Hancock was from the first to the Inat,” said Judge Clawyett, “‘the ideal of an officr and a gentleman. Ho really was powerle:s o do much, eith- erin one way or the cther. He was not a member of the court, but was ‘merely an official whose final duty was to command and order the execution of the sentence. Mrs. Surratt was | treated most careles-ly, as respects converience, and in a most brutal maurer by those in whose charge she was. It may not bave been improper- ly, but certainly they were couse and indifferent toward her while she was still an unconvicted woman. I found her, when fir:t admitted to speak to her as counsel, in a wretched room, with an apology for a bed in the shape of eome straw strewn on the floor and not a sign of furniture within the four wall-. She was lying sick on the miserable pallet and I'bad to kaeel down to speak to her. She was in the charge of Uol. Hartranft, as were the other prisoners. On amo- tion I made before the court, it ex- pressed its igmorance of the bratsl treatment she lived under and at once ;rdsred decent accommodations for er." “‘Hancock,” continued Judge Clum- pett, “had no more to do with these details or matters than you had. ‘When Judge Wylie, with a Roman Majesty of eharacter, issued, almost at the peril of his life, the writ of ha- beas corpus in the case of Mrs. Suc- ratt, President Johnzon and Secretary Stanton decided to suspend the writ and the execution followed. We had hopes to the last of a reprieve and a pardon for Mrs, Surratt and I waited at the arsenal hoping sgainst h-pe. General Hancock rode down, snd ap- proaching him I asked, ‘Are there any hopes?” He sheok Lis head slowly and mournfully, and, with asort of & gasping oatch in his spee:h, srid, “1 am afraid not—no, there is not.” 'Ho then walked off and dismounted and gave some orders to his orderly and walked about for a moment or two. Returnin, he said to me, ‘I have been in many a battle and have eeen death and mixed with it in disas- ter and in victory; I have been in a Tiving hell of fire and grape shot and, by God, I'd sooner be thero ono thou- sand times over than give the order thisday for that poor woman's execu- tion. But I am a s ldier, swern to obey and obey I musc.” This is the true and genuino bistory of all that Hancock had to do in common with theaffair. Ho was commauding, and as commander and conservator of the national capital was compelled to bo obedient to the orders of the court which seot:nced tho corspirators and so-called conspirator, t) death. He had no voice in the mat'er and could have taken no action save as the agent to see that the lctter of the law was carcied out in an order of alphabetic cortainty. VIRGIN VICTIM.

Mrs. Toney (daughter of Mrs. Surratt) and her husband, denounce Gen. Hancock.

It is shown that Hancock’s laat active military campaign, that against the Cheyenne Indians, cost the government $9,000,000, and proved a failure.
