trY THE NATIONAL AsD AMERICAN usrs.l


NEW YoRK, May 15.-Isaac v. Fowler has been
removed from the office of Postmaster Of this city
on account of extensive frauds committed during
his control OF the postoffice
1t has been ascertained that he is defaulter In
the sum of s17s,s0O. 1t was supposed that this
amount was fraudulentIy obtained towards the
close of President Pierce's administration.
The state of affairs as above recounted was
brought to light on Saturday last, as sequence Of
the late Charleston Convention.
On Saturday Marshal Rynders had received or
ders from Washington to arrest Fowler, but the
order being received at late hour of the day, the
latter took advantage Of the following day (Sun-
day. and left his residence early in the morning.
Although his whereabouts is not known, some
think clue can be obtained in the Sixth Auditors
office at Washington.
1t was long ago believed that greater part of
the money was spent in carrying the Pennsylvania
election during the Presidential campaign in 1885,
1t was rumored last night that Fowler had com
mitted suicide but there was no credit be placed
in the statement.
Messrs Hillyer, Solicitor Of the Treasury, and
District Attorney Roosevelt, are preparing the me-
cessary papers with view of recovering the de-
fciency from George Law and Augustus Csnnoyer,
who were the bondsmen of Fowler. These gem
temen deny their Inability, because the defalcaton
occurred previous to their suretyship.
