THE ALLEGED CALrFoRNTA CusroM HOUSE
FRAuDs.-The home correspondent of the Wash
ington Star makes the following explanation ofthe
alleged custom house frauds in San Francisco:
A California newspaper, received by the Treas
ury Department, states that the grand jury of San
Francisco has found q true bill of indictment a.
gainst Col. James Collier, first Collector ut that
port, charging Inn with having mISapproprlated
some 100000 of the public funds; that a similar
Indictment was expected 10 be found against T.
Butler King, who succeeded Colonel Collier,
changing him with the msaPplicati n OF about
100000.
1t is not true, believe, that the Department
has received any Official notification of the facts,
or any information on the subject except that con-
tanned in the newSpaperreierred TO. Some months
since the Department sent out to San francisco,
by the present Collector [Major Hammond) such
evidence as it had in its possession, with dlrec-
tons TO have the subject brought before the grand
jury, if the evidence transmitted, and such add
tional evidence as was expected to be obtained,
was deemed sufficient 10 procure the indictments.
This action of the Department was kept pro-
found secret until to-day.
| Colonel Golfers accounts have never been adj
| iustcd by the Department. He acknowledges hay-
ing in his possession moneys belonging 10 the Uni
ted States, but had steadily refused 10 pay them
over, until the Department should allow him Ger
tain suspended items charged against him. From
the first, however, he declared his readiness 10
stand suit and abide the issue, whatever 1t
might be. Itseems that TIE Department preferred
TO take the more summary method of prosecution,
which will probably end in smoke. Perhaps the
prosecution in Mr.. Kings case rests upon similar
basis.

The daily progress of the Exhibition is marked
and gratifying. The general aspect worn by 1t

process of Transformation bids fair to continue in

prospect is, that it will prove highly interesting

Mr.. PEABoDY.-The New York Post of Monday
afternoon contradicts the paragraph, which we yes
terday extracted from the foreign correspondence
of the Tribune, stating that Mr.. George PEABODY,
of London, had been seriously ill. The Post
says
owe are directed distinctly 10 deny the truth of
this statement. Letters have been received by the
Arctic, from that gentleman, written by himself,
and making no nllusion to any sickness; while
personal friend Of his, who came over in the Arc
lie, and who saw him the day before leaving Lon
don, informs us that Mr.. Peabody is in perfect
health About month ago, he had slight touch
of rheumatism in his great Toe, which, however,
did not disable him fIom attending to business, al
though it gave him much pain; but from this he IS
now entirely recovered"
