day, and while the principal officers OF the ship
were absent, band Of xretches ON board committed
acts Of murder, violence and pilIsge that would
have disgIsoed the veriest ssvages. The accounts

veil known man of business, and who bore a, OK
celsnt reputation for integrity, has sbsconded from
thst city aer having committed forgeries and con.
tasted business debts TO tho amount Of near two
millions Of dollsrs. John G. Meiggs, who had re.
Gently been elected City Comptroller under reform
snspces, dsappeayed At 81 tho same time With Henry
Meigs, and IL was supposed that the brothers were
connected together in the forgeries. Other frauds
we're expected to be discovered, and no erson in
Ban Francisco could tell the extent TO which they
had been carried. Such acts are painful to rec nd
% their effects must be injurious TO the commercial
world and are calculated to destroy ali moral conf.
dense between man and man. An interesting &C
sonnt Of these forgeries win be found in our pa Ger
to-day.
