Office as accountant of the wat department,
j, was discovered, on the examination OF the
accounts of col James Thomas, Quarter
master General, attached to the army IN the
vicinity Of Black Rock, IN the state OF New.
York, in the years 1912 and 1918, that frau
dulent charges had been made against the
United States to a considerable amount, up
on receipts and vouchers, purporting to be
payments made to a person by the name Of
M. +. Simpson, volunteer with gen. Ten
nehill's brigade from Pennsylvania, vile it
appeared had been employed by Thomas
as an agent to purchase -four and other sup
plies for the use Oft army and that the
flour purchased by Simpson was at price
from z so, 10 dollars per barrel, and
the same transported at the public cxpence
with public teams to Black Rock, and the
-four has been charged to the United States,
at from IL TO IA dollars per barrel, and a
commission OF IL per cent, upon the
amount charged. At the time this discov-
cry was made, both Thomas and Simpson
were implicated in the fraud, and the ac-
count was settled after l was out OF ofiice,
by the person who succeeded me, and was
reported to the treasury, where 1t was re-
examined and revised by the then officers
of the treasury, on the appeal OF Col
Thomas, who attended the final examine
ton at the treasury, when balance OF up
wards OF $4,000, was reported against
him this examination and settlement, &C.
cording to the then usage OF the treasury,
was considered final and conclusive. have
since understood that all the payments pur-
porting to have been made to Simpson, ex
cept the commission, have been passed to
Thomas's credit, under the special direction
of the treasury, thereby reducing the bal
ance considerably from what 1t was, but
still leaving large sum due from him on
the settlement Of his cash accounts to the
United States. And find, on enquiry at

Much Of our paper is this day devoted to com
niunications on the question which is shortly e
come before the citizens of Maine in town meeting
That il is subject deeply interesting to every in
dividual, there can be no doubt; aud we hope eV-
cry person will attend and express his opinion OF
tie subject by giving his vote. OnWhIchever sid'
the majority is the question will in all probability
be determined. If the voice Of the people should
be against separation the proposition will be put
to rest for many yearsto come. he sense OF the
people ought to be determined by those who vote
on the subject, for those who do not vote will be
considered having no opinion, or as indifferent
to the result, and ought not to be calculated upon.
A Dogble Sop.-No one among the apostates
from federalism has come IN for larger share OF
Executive fovor than Wiiiiam Pinkney. Immedi-

CONSIDERATIONS.
"CONNECTICUT POLITICS.

Under this head writer IN the Boston Weekiy
Messenger, Of Apra Is, attempts to account fol
the late trmoip in Connecticut, by charg ing
IL upon a coalition between the Episcepaans, aud
The democrats. He says that there are in that
tate from IL to 10000 Episcopalians that they
nave repeatedly petitioned the Legislature for a
college avowing that they did not want funds,
having them already in abundance and that the
petition has always been negatired. So far believe
bun; and regret that in State respectable, such
ra.row and mean prejudices should so constantly
have manifested itself towards church as catholic,
pure in doctrine and as correct in discipline any
Connecticut ever could boast of.-But be further
observes that resenting the failure Of their petitions
the Episcopalians, at a motley caucus" struck
hands with the Democrats; aud that, "uah a .feu
honorable sresptos" they supported to their eter-
raj Disgrace, the Democratic ticket He adds that
this potent coalition gave Wolcott" only about 100
votes more than they 1.-THE Democrat) have given
heretoforen-sO then these " few honorable excep-
tions' amount at least to 1890 out Of f80O0 /;
