ed Mr. Forrest that Mr.. Macready bothered him
self about him and the press, when our tragedian
paid his last visit to London. The Herald shows
conclusvely that this same Wikofis meddlesome
person, and the very letter written by him to Mr.
Forrest, and upon which that gentleman relies to
sustain his charge against Macready, shows him to
| be a BLACKBOARD. No gentleman ever repeats or
publishes private conversations relative to other
persons. Mr. Wikofi, then, in publishing private
conversations between himself and MIR. Albany
Fonblanque, relative to Forrest and Macready has
shown himself to be meddlesome funkey.-Sun-

Office hunters and partisans of both sides, versed
In the history OF our local politics, were astOnished
at the grave charge preferred against the Hon. Ely
Moore, the Marshal of the Southern District, and
others of his office.
During the administration of Gen. Jackson,
well known politician, w. Ii. Coventry Waddell,
held this truly lucrative situation for couple of
terms, but at the close of Mr. Van Buren's reign he
was superseded by Anthony j Blocker. who, in
time, yielded the staff to the Hon. Silas NJ. Still
WELL name very well known to fraudulent debt
ors. This nominee of the wing party received his
passports from Mr.. Polk, who honored the present
incumbent with his patronage. During the entire
period, from Mr.. WaddelPs entry down to the fall
of 1916, MIR. Rapeye, faithful officer, and one
among the oldest Of our citizens, held the post of
chief deputy, and cashier of the department. from

Hudson, celebrated in story for its prison and pill
factory: fact not generally known, but fully de-
veoped by the present occurrences, is now brought
to lghtIthe friends Of Mr.. Rapeys furnished sure
ties for three of the Marshals on condition that he
should have entire control Of the finances by virtue
OF his position in the bureau. To facilitate the ar
rangement, Mr.. Blocker executed an assignment
OF all the emolumens OF the Office to his chief de-
putty, thus rendering MIR. Rapelye Marshal de facto
This ingenious precedent was followed by Stillwell,

Polk, the friends, of the working man, Rapelye,

been appointed to the vacancy. 1t now appears
further that the arrangement and assignment were
adopted ey MI Mo % Sr. and Mr.; kaPelye.
be remembered that Judge Nelson was Nominated w
and flnay confirmed as successor to Judge Thomp-
son; but this appointment was hampered BY sundry
family arrangements-hat Mr. Gardner, brother
TO Mr. Tyler, was to be clerk of the circuit court
and another brother was to be created a comms.
sioner of our district and in consequence, the in
cumbents were ordered to resign. The clerk at
once obeycd the judicial summons; but Mr. Rapel-
We, long established commissioner, who, though
not lawyer by profession had adequately perform
ed the duties, conceived it bitter bill to be eject
ed by one Of his own political party. The Presi-
Dental WI was imperative, and Rapelye, who
steadfastly refused to resign, was deprived of his
mountaineering. This may appear irrelevant to
the subject but still has important bearing upon
the marshalships, and can be adjudged the cause of
the present financial catastrophe.
From the hour of his decapitation the spirits of
the commls soner dl ooped; his health became yisi-
ply affected, and the advice of physicians required
his retirement from the cares of public life
meeting OF the sureties and of friends to the Mar
shall and his deputy, was convened, and arrange
ment effected with Mr.. Peck to assume the vacated
situation along with the balance due from Moore
to his deputy. 1t Is further alleged that regular
contract was entered into between the Marshal and
his new deputy, whereby the former resigned all
his title and interest in the marshaship to Mr.
Peck, receiving therefor bonus of &c. 600, and
monthly. income Of Sl75 and this arrangement,
prcludlcial TO the public interest, was known TO,
and approved by, the late Presldentand his cabinet
The balance due the deputy, Rapelye, is SAID to
