FINANCIAL FRAUDS AND CRIMINAL PRosEcu-
TONS ave published yesterday an account OF
an alleged fraud Of stupendous character, and
the arrest Of the principal party concerned in
IL, person Of some prominence In the financial
world. This is but the beginning Of the dis
closures Of this kind which are sure to follow
the late revulsion. The crisis being past, the
reactionary period has come; and reaction al
ways brings TO light frauds Of large magnitude
In the management, OF railroads, banks, insu-
rance companies and other corporations II was
40 te the extent of some hundreds OF millions
after the crisis Of 1887, and we have no doubt
that every month for years to come will de-
velope some new fraud. Of 70 startling a charac-
ter that criminal prosecutions will be likely
nary expansion and wild speculation which
characterized our method Of transacting bust
ness for some time were fruitful sources of
fraud. The faster men made money the more
eager they became to accumulate; and from the
loose manner in which many corporations we're
conducted. the temptations and the facilities for
fraud we're equally great. The criminal prose-
cution Of Mr.. Dwight now pending, will strike
terror into the hearts Of many a smart operator
throughout the country. The Ohio Life and
Trust Company, whose failure brought ruin to
20 many thousand households, viii, we presume,
be the next subject for criminal proceedings.
II is time that the commercial atmosphere
should be purged. and there is no better
instrument for eaecting that purpose than
criminal prosecution now and then vigor-
ously and successfully carried out such as
those in England which sent Sir John Dean
Paul and his confederates into penal servitude,
and the directors Of the Royal British Bank to
vegetate in the county prisons
II Is not only in commercial transactions that
these gigantic swindles exist. The frauds and
forgeries in the city treasury the Finance and
Street Departments which are being every
day developed by the committees Of the Com
mon Council, are assuming fearful shape.
Three millions would not cover the frauds
already discovered: and as the system has been
going on for years, this unfortunate city must
be victim to the amount Of some twenty mil
lions altogether. These rogueries have been
perpetrated ny the COLLISION OF the different
executive officers Of the departments and
bureaus, whose operations have been greatly
facilitated by the incompetency Of their clerks;
for Il is fact, and shameful one, that there

Offices. The plumber OF the city treasury APP

GOVERNMENT LAND CoSrRAcrs-THE FoRr
WuLErr AND FoRT SMELLING PrRcHAsEs.-The
Fort Willett purchase is, IL seems likely to ere
ate quite as much OF fuss as that of the Fort
Smelling reservation. In this instance, however,
the government il the buyer, and not the seller.
The complaint against II Is that Il has given
more for the Fort Willett site than IL is really
worth. This may be the case, aud yet the bar
gain may still be an advantageous one We're the
land bought for the purpose of raising turnips
and potatoes, the price given for II might possibly
be deemed excessive. But when the govern
ment enters the market as buyer of real es.
tate, il stands in a different position from that
of any other purchaser. Once II is known tina,
IL requires particular spot for a particular
purpose, the value Of the site is proportionately
enhanced. Owners of real estate are perfectly
justified in obtaining for their property the
highest value which the government compet-
ton attaches to IT, Either the government can
do without Il, or it must have IL: and If its ne
cessities compel it 10 buy, there is no reason
why Il should be placed in more favorable po-
sition than shy private purchaser having the
same strong interest in the property. The case Of
the Fort Smelling reservation il very differ
ent one, and must not be judged Of by the same
rBlcs In this instance the government was the
vendor. and the conditions under which the
land should have been sold were fixed by law
The purchasers, 20 far from obtaining the
reservation at deprecated value, paid for II
about thirteenth more than The amount Of the

VINO ORGANIZED THE PASIc?-We now see
by the proceedings which are pending against
some of the Wall street financiers and specula-
tors, who were the real authors of the recent
panic. The defalcations committed during the
years 1856 and 1867 by bankers, brokers, and
others placed in positions Of commercial trust,
are in process Of development, and explain
satisfactorily the causes Of the sudden inter-
.ruption Of commercial confidence which led to
the tremendous commercial revulsiou through
which we have just passed. II was by these
men, and BY no others, that the panic was origi-
mated. They hoped TO find in II security, but
Il has brought to them only detection and
shame

The TRACT SOcETy.-This body. and the
worthy people who are affiliated with or
friendly to II, have been much dis
turbed during the last three days by the con.
test pending between the pro-slavery and the
antislavery parties in the society. For some
years there has been feud between the two
factions; the one contending that the society
II 1t did not openly denounce slavery as sinful
and immoral, would at least not mutilate tracts
by British authors containing reflections on the
subject Of slavery; the other holding that twas
the first duty Of the society and the first con.
dition Of its usefulness that II should have
nothing whatever to do with slavery in any
shape; that it should publish no tracts which
we're either wholly or in part deemed obec-
tionable by the slavery men OF the South, and
that whatever was said in the tracts respecting
should be so said as TO leave the reader in the
dark as to whether II applied to voluntary or
involuntary servitude. On these issues the war
has been waged for several years, each season
increasing the asperity Of the contest, until the
two factions as will be seen by the report Of
and almost as abusive as political Office seekers
on the eve of an election.
There can be but little difficulty in deciding
where the truth lies between the two disputants.
II would be a very satisfactory thing indeed IL
the institutions of all sections of the country
permitted the same tracts and books Of all
kinds TO circulate throughout. But Of the fact
that those institutions do differ and that the
differences are 30 decided and marked that the
tracts which are good in one place are not
suitable In another, there can be no reasonable
question. And TO try by argument and oratory
10 satisfy both sections that they ought to use
the same class Of tracts is as hopeful task as
IL would be to try to convince the people Of
Maine and the people Of Florida that they ought
to wear the same kind Of clothing.
The only sensible thing that can be done
with the Tract Society is to split IT, as the
Methodist Book Concern and the other book
publishing religious bodies we're split some
years ago. The settlement Of the question yes
terday is only temporary arrangement. II
cant last Let there be, therefore, a Tract So
ciety North and Tract Society South, and LET
each issue the tracts required for consumption
In It's particular locality. The members Of the
two concerns need be none the less friends for
being separated; and tbis perpetual bone OF dis
cord between them would thus be removed.
The time must come when the Bible Society
and all the other religious concerns which cele-
brate their anniversaries here in May, will be
divided by the slavery question. II Is oil per-
vsding and paramount. The preachers North
and South have taken bold of II, and Brown
low on the one side ana Beecher on the other
preach about nothing else. What can he ex-
pected hut that religious establishments so d.
vided must be severed In twain And ought u
not to he the best wish Of every Christian man
10 see the separation effected quietly and

etstutory estimate. Whilst, therefore, In the
Fort wiliett case there is no just ground for
complaint, in that of the Fort Smelling rssel'-
walton there is fair claim for q remission Of
price on the part of government. The pur-
chasers in the latter contract are, it will be sd
mitted, fairly entitled to have the excess over
the legal price of the land refunded to them.
