that Il serious insrlrcction had broken

TIERS DHAFrS.-A man named Henry
Wilson was arrested by the I. :. Mar
ShaI "Wednesday, for uttcriny certain
forged Pavnastcr'S Certificates, ordratts.
Most of the papers have it that he was
arrested for forging /. :. Treasury
notes, which was far from hcin" the
ease. 1t was, and is still! supposed, that
the chief, and perhaps only guilty par
ty, was one William Smith, and it was
desired that nothing should be SAID OF
the matter, 80 that Il full opportunity
might be given the officers to make hts
arrcst--but either rurpoScly, rcarclrss-
", the matter was given publicity by
outsiders, and thus the matter has been
made prcmaturc!y public, while Smith
is still at large.
1t appears that on Saturday last the
man Wilson appeared at the Police OF
flee and complained that William Smith
Sergeant ina company OF the United
States troops stationed on the san Juan
Island in Washington Territory. was
about leaving on the Stcamcrand owed
him about $500. Officers Ellis and
johnson went with him to the steamer.
when Wilson. seeing Smith un the
steamer. ran upto him, collarcd him and
dragged linn off. He and Smith then
had some conversation on the wharf,
when Smith gave over to him certain
three papers purporting to be paymas-
ter's certificates or drafts, drawn by
Capt. Pickett of San Juan, and in favor
of Corporal J. Kelly for $274.7l: one in
favor of Private =. McCorlnic for S3s5,
e;5:: asHli.l tie third in favor of Private ID.
Williams for S345.45. On the receipt
of them Wilson expressed himself sat
istcd and paid the officers 500 for their
trouble. Smith was allowed to go his
way, but in the meanwhile the steamer
had departed, SO that he is probably in
State, perhaps IN this city.
These aforementioned certificates.
which are forged, have endorsements on
them to Wilson, and he drew the mon
cy on them from Pavmastcr Ringold
-S1.lO5 81 in all. There seems to be
no doubt whatever, but that Smith
knew all about the torgcrics, possibly
forged the papers himself; and the
question now is whether Wilson was
coynizant Of the torgcrics. lie was
charged with having collected the mon
cy on the papers as an accomplicc of
Smith.
The ease was examined before I. S.
Commissioner J. b. Williams ycStcr-
day; and there appearing sufficient tes-
timony to send the accused to the grand
jury, he was bound over by the Com
missioner to the L. s. Circuit Court
and his bail fixed at 81, 900.

unbecoming an officer and Il gentle

obnoxious to the accusation of "author-
