FRAUDS UPON 1:E B n THE GOVERNMENT.

yernnient fora number of years past, IN
New York, hayel been at last discovered:
Land warrant applications for back pay,
for services alleged to have been performed
in.the Mexican war, and 2pension certificates
have been forged To very large extent, and
|5the government defranded 3of a sum amount
ing to hundreds Thousands of dollars. The
period in which these frauds have extended
is said to. .beenearly ighteen years: 4 fraud;
Involving in one single instance "a loss:of

application, he states, had been handed 80
him by one, Of the Other parties, for the.
purpose of having it transmitted to Wash
ington, the accused at the same time be-
lieving it to be genuine document. One
of the. accused was arrested about three
months ago in this city, charged with pre-
senting forged check at the Bank of the
State Of New York, for $4,000, and he is
now under Indictment and awaiting a trial
on the charge. When apprehended for pre-
senting the check, and taken before Justice
Stewart, (who was then Police Justice, a
number of land warrants were found in his
pockets, and the police supposing them to
he genuine, returned them to the prisoner.
It was soon after this circumstance that
Justice Stewart learned Of his operations,
and this prompted him to make inquiries
which have led to this exposure. The
police are in search of other parties charged
with similar frauds, and will probably sue
ceed in bringing them all to justice. Some
of the parties live out of the city and a fe.v
in other States. Justice, Stewart intends
investigating the matter further to-day. Mr..

Washington, has with him ,an immense
