NOVEL SwINDIING 0PERArIoN.-Robert Sperinp
has been arrested in Philadelphia for dealing in
counterfeit autograph letters of General Washing
ton.
The autographs were sent to persons that would
probably prove customers, offering them for sale al
five or ten dollars each, with the suggestion that il
the recipients did not desire to purchase them, they
might know some one who did. Sperng also offer
ed to exchange the autographs for old books, en-
cravings, &C. Mayor Henry received letters from
different parts of the country, notifying him that
some one in Philadelphia was selling the counter
feits, and among the letters were from E. ID.
Hobbs, Esq, President of the Louisville and Frank
fort Railroad, and one from Rev. James Seaton,
Springfield, ILL.,
The ". american says the autographs sent with
them are, beyond all question: the best limitations
now extant. They are entire sfac-simes in every
respect-in the color of the ink, the water lines in
the paper, and the ancient look of the paper itself
They are copies of Washington's well known com,
munication to Hon. James Wood dated Sept u,
1876.
Spering states that he is an Englishman, dealer
in old books and curiosities. Sometime ago he
came into possession of a genuine letter by Wash
lngton, and being in very needy circumstances,
conceived the idea of duplicating it in such man.
ner as to render detection impossible. This he de-
clared he considered no crime, as in England there
are persons constantly employed in producing spu-
rious paintings as productions of the old masters
He then procured unruled paper with the same wa
ter mark as the genuine letter. This he immersed
in coffee, and after it had acquired the tint peculiar
to age, ironed it smooth. By taking a pane of
glass; with the original letter beneath it, and his
prepared paper on the top of the glass, there was
nothing easier than to hold it to the light and pro-
duce perfect copy by tracing it with pen.
The officers took possession of goodly batch of
prepared paper, lot of envelopes, with postage
stamps attached, and also daily journal. Spering
had procured directories of all the States and Can,
adas, from which to obtain names of persons likely
to appreciate rarties like autographs of the Father
OF his Country In his journal, among the pages OF
which divided afr lrto nj
gentlemen numbering three or four thousand, tu
whom autographs had already been sent, while
against many of them were checked figures showing
that he had been largely successful. On one day as
much S52 is credited receipts while the aver
age will perhaps be fifteen to twenty. He is man
of fair education, writes beautiful hand, and ap.
pears to have beea- tuated mainly by the pressure
of poverty. His wife has the appearance of being
superior woman, She is the sister of magistrate
in the city of ofBatimore and was terrified almost out
of her wits at the arrest of her husband.

respondence has taken place which has not already
been communicated to Congress. and adds 'In my
last annual message, l stated that the publicity
which has been given to former negotiations on this
subject, and the large appropriations which may
be required to effect the purposes, render it exped-
ent, before making another attempt to renew the
negotiation, that l should lay the whole subject
before Congress still entertain the same opinion,
deeming it highly important, if not indispensable
to the success of any negotiation which might in
stitute for the purchase of that Island, that the
measure should receive the previous sanction of
Congress- The message was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
