j TREASURY DISQUALIFICATION FRAUD.
! The Columbus mississippi Argus, Of Sep
TENDER II, contains q long letter from Rom
totoc, exhibiting the disgraceiul frauds which
lsthe Government" has enabled its favorites
to perpetrate, by a secret order from the
Treasury Department, countermandng at
that place, the specie-Paying Treasury CIR
cular. 1t will be recollected that . few
weeks ago, the New York Journal OF Com
merce asserted that secret order, OF this
character, had been issued by Secretary
woodbury.. and that the Globe met the as
sertion with prompt denial. What will the
reader say Of the honesty of the administra-
ton, and the veracity Of the 1000 Editor,
when they perceive, by the subjOined extract
| of letter from Pont0toc, that this secret or
der was issued, was publicly read, and acted
upon at the Land Office in that places After
giving description Of various manGuvers,l
shiftings and equivocations, the writer says:
s.All was doubt and uncertainty up to y
o'clock this morning. The Jackson van no-
rem men were TO be seen every where pro-
testing that every thing would be conducted

genteel looking gentleman rode up. "A des-
patch from Secretary Woodbury. was the
|cry that passed from lips to lips, through the
assembled crowd. All hurried around the
stand 10 learn what new change was about
tc take place. 1t was occupied by an elder
Nv gentleman, who with a sermon'c voice de- /
tailed . great many things about the "soa~s

wound up by saying that If any land was pur-
chased BY an Indian, it must be paid tor IN

~Shortlv afterwards, the elderly gentleman
read letter from Secretary Woodbury., add

Decatur Bank, which gives them the power

Thus the matter stands. II seems clear that
the Treasury Order was issued TO PREVENT
the purchaser from attending the land sales.
There are large numbers Of Van Buren, men
here who will obtain all the lands at II low
price. While the poor humbugged fellow
who went to an enormous expense to procure
the hard dollars, cannot compete with them
and are forced to quit. On the eve Of the
land sales, the Treasury Circular Is resc'nded.
aThc government officers will be forced to-
answer the following questions: For what
end was the Treasury Circular issued! And
why al this precise moment was 1t recalled
These are short questions. and we should Ike
to have them answered"
II is more remarkable, that this Treasury
Circular was rescinded no where else, a. we
have vet heard, but at the Pontotoc land Of
ifice-and still more remarkable that there 1t
vas rescinded bv secret order. Is il not
las palpable as the sun at nom day that the
administration is lending itself to favorite
spectators, and closing the door to fair and
honorable competition in the disposal OF the
public domain that it is employing the Peo-
pe's lands, as it Is the public Offices, to re-
ward party favorites, And will the people
sustain such an administrations, or elect to
the Presidency a man who is pledged toF@car.
