being MIR. Fant Of the frm of FAINT, Rittenhoust
Il Co., bankers, and NJ w. Gait, of the firm OF
Gait Il Brothers, jewellers.
1t Is stated that the abstraC ton of the bonds wa
known az long ago as Thursday last, II havinj
been at that time communicated by Bailey t
Secretary Floyd. Bailey asked the advice Of tn
latter Secretary Floyd replied that he had n
: return the matter should be thoroughly investi
gated. Bailey confessed the whole matter to Sec
e rotary Thompson, alleging that he had bee
g desire to save the honor of Mr.. Floyd, whose &C
v | ceptances 10 a large amount In possession Of MI
!, | Russell, Of the firm of Russell, Mayors Il Co
Government contractors, would otherwise hav
e been dishonored, he Bailey apprehended. Thes
II 4" acceptances," II appears, are simply memoran
e dums Of the amounts which would be due at Gel
+ tain periods to Russell, provided he executed hi
| contracts with the Government, and invoked n
% | liability whatever, they being given to enabl
e him to obtain credit. The records it IL alleged
prove that the existence of these acceptances WI
e unknown to Bailey at the period Of the first al
l. strsction Of bonds and that his excuse In refe
l. ence to Mr. Floyd is merely subterfuge. Rui
sell asked for these aCceptances to show his cree
d itors, to satisfy them Of his resources. Simil;
I memorandums have been given 10 public col
L tractors for several wears past
d Those who profess to know the facts in the ca.
n | say that Mr.. RUSSELL who has been largely e.
ar gagged in transporting United States stores
z | the Plains to Utah and beyond, finding himse
financially embarrassed more than year az
1t | obtained the consent Of the Secretary Of War
at draw upon bis Department to the amount
r 500 600. The Secretary accepted the draft Son
ID | time afterwards he made similar request for Il
slme amount, assuring the Secretary that the n
draft was taken care of, aud the latter supposi
l. that at time did his obligations mount to ov
pit 800 600.
