| Americans, read and let Il be sounded out
through the length and breadth of the land
Do YOU know who has the charge Of the ar
chives relating to the secret service money, one
Of the most important and delicate trusts In the
State Department. and, we may say, under our
government win inform you, Bdoard Stubs,
Roman Catholic Hishman, and who IL is said,
arrived in this country in the year 1918.
This Mr. Stubbs is the person who figured so
conspicuously in the infamous charge made by
Charles J. IngersoIl against Daniel Webster, al
leging that Mr.. Webster had applied to his private
use the secret service money of the United States.
Mr.. Webster promptly demanded an investigation,
and was most triumphantly acquitted, showing
that there was not a shadow Of ground for the
charge, and, since that hour, Mr.. Ingersoll has
passed from the public eye, only TO be remembered
with Iodfhing and disgua.
Mr.. Stubs, in MiIls's " Guide to the Capitol" is
stated to be dsbursng agent for the State Depart
ment, and must, therefore, in addition 10 the dis
burscment of the secrctservice money, have had
charge Of the funds for the payment Of the entire
diplomatic corps.
| He Is all the superintendent Of the building
and grounds connected with the State Department,
and, as consequence, has the quasi appointment
and Dismissal OF the watchmen and labores.
Since Mr. Stubbss re-sppontment which was
under the present administration, (for he was
promptly removed by General Taylor, on account
Of the Webster affair." am informed that the fol-
lowing appointments have been made in the corps
Of wstchmen and lsborcrs:
Anthony Best, foreign Roman Catholic.
49, Scott, Roman Catholic.
An Irisbman and Catholic, not yet nsturalized,
name not remembered)
- Lucas, Roman Catholic.
Brannan, Roman Catholic.
- Dant Roman Catholic
McGrann, an Irish Roman Catholic
But, have something further to state In regard
to Mr.. stnbbs. extract from the Baltimore Clip
per Of the 27d Of August last. The circumstances
connected with the removal of Mr.. James, (who
has also large family,) evincc degree Of bitter
ness and persecution almost unparalleled, and re-
mind one forcibly Of the feelings which must have
prompted those demons Of the inquisition who
took such delight, las the Shepherd Of the Valley
expresses Il, Gin roasting heretics."
mr. shhttr nhS iof phb atht htiu ht p'htt W
Waterman in the State Department, and has al
ways sustained the reputation Of a most faithful
officer and an exemplary member Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. A few days ago he called
on Mr. Stubbs, the superintendent Of the building
and requested leave Of absence for FIVE days, TO
attend csmp-mceting stubbs, who IL a notorious
Irish Catholic, with large salary informed him
that he would let him know in the evening; but
instead Of granting the request placed in his hands
note informing him that his services were no
longer required. His successor, as You may sup
pose, Is foreign Roman Catholic
IF the foregoing does not open the eyes Of the
American public and arouse them to action, am
greatly mistaken. FIRST WARD.
