GREAT NATIONAL ROBBERY

$4,000 IN BoNDs EMBEzZLED The CITY
of Washington was thrown into tremendous tx
element, on Saturday, in consequence of the
discovery that Goddard Bailey, the officer in
charge of he Indian trust funds, had abstract
$4,000 of the bonds. lie confessed to the
transaction in presence of the secretary of state,
attorney general, secretary of the interior, and
district attorney, and an examination of his ac-
counts was made by them, proving the fact to
be too true.
1t is difficult to tell precisely the extent to
which the Secretary of War and other parties
are implicated. The Philadelphia Press, in a
special dispatch from Washington dated Dec.
oath, gives the following:
"Among the rumors with respect to the
$4,000 depreciation on the Indian Trust fund
is one which if il be not reliable, seems plausi-
bic. tits, that Secretary Floyd, to aid Russell,
Majors & Co., in complying with their huge
contract for the transportation of army supplies
from the Missouri river to Utah, accepted their
drafts, in some instances absolutely, in others
conditionally. for a sum exceeding $500. OOO.-
Subsequently he allowed Russell, Majors & Co.,
to draw the whole amount due them under
their contract, with the assurance on their part
that all of his acceptances rs Secretary of War
shonld he retired. Drafts maturod, and Rus
sell, Majors & Co. We're unable TO meet them,
and others were soon to mature, which, unless
money could be had, would be protested, also.
Under these circumstances, Mr. Bailey, the
clerk in charge OF the Indian Trust fund, who,
it is said, married a niece of Secretary FLOYD,
was approached by an agent of Russell, Ma
jors x Co., and told that unless the acceptances
referred to were provided for Immediately, the
Secretary of War would be disgraced irrcmedi-
ably. He was then asked to lend to Russell.
Majors & Co., temporarily, State bonds of the
Indian trust fund to the amount Of eight hun
dred ant SERENITY thousand doHqrs. Bailey. in
fluenced by the conviction that this breach of
trust was the only means of saving the honor
of the Secretary of War, and satisfied, also, that
