Mr.. Benjamin, Uf Louisiana, when he left this

been occupying, to the Secretaries of the

min. After sundry vexatous delays, arising
from tho immunity from arrest, by which the
members Of the diplomatic corps arc prote cted, +,
Major McBlair has recently been enabled,
through the action Of the French Minister, to
obtain possession of tho house. He has also
seized the effects of Mr.. Benjamin, to the value
OF several hundreds Of dollars, and Tuesday
they were sold at auction. Among these effects
we're several portraits of Mrs. Benjamin, 4
marble bust Of Benjamin himself. and strange
to tell, q full length portrait Of Mons. Cellini,
the person with whom Mrs. Benjamin eoped
from New Orleans several years ago! There
was also an elegant service of plate, and some
articles OF household furniture. The principal
portion of Mr.. Benjamins furniture was sold In
May, 1860, when Mrs. B. returned to Paris. 1t
WAS the most superb collection ever sold in this
city, having cost $50 0e0 In Paris, to which, for
packing and transportation, four or i've thou
sand dollars must be added to cover its whole
cost here. The house occupied by Benjamin
was the well known mansion erected by Com.
modore Decatur In 1919, a few months before
his death, at an expense of 500, 900. The whole
rent of the property is 50, 900 a year.

A CLEAR CASE OF FRAUD.-It is related by one
Of the dispatches from the battle field AT Ed.
wardss Ferry, that when our brave boys were
trying to make their way from tho trap into
which they had been foolishly led, back across
the Potomac. IA poor negro with II small skill
employed himself the whole night in ferrying
over the fugitves. He succeeded, in this way,
in saving the lives, or In securing the escape,
at least of no less than one hundred persons.
His master all the while was probably on the
Virginia shore trying to send MIME ball into
the hearts of our men.
Now, as the " "service" of this fellow did not
belong to himself, bu, his master, what right
had he to lend his labor to our suffering s0l.
diers? Was he not defrauding his owner
Will not some of our generals insist upon de-
livering him up" to be properly punished for
so audacious a use Of his muscles? or course,
no one will be so insane AS to propose that he
should be emancpa,ed for this timely rescue
of 80 many loyal troops. That would be abo'
ltionism; that would be interfering with the
sacred institution; that would be confesslug
