Seizure Of Clifton Rank Money and
Arrest OF a Chicago Man.

Inc correspondent of the Cincinnati CARTE,
writing from Huntsville, Ala, furnishes the
particulars appended below of gigantic swim
die attempted By Chicago man, in which
which also the sut1er Of Col. Turchia's re5i-
1nent is implicated. The worthless notes Of
the Clifton Bank are well known here, and
tho arrest 81 the guilty parties anu seizure Of
The trash we're none too timely. The follow
Ing gives the details Of the operation:
Three weeks a"o, two men, J. f. Chadwick
cf Chicago and Samuel Sands Of Boston, came
into Huntsville for the ostensible purpose of
busirg cotton, but suspicion bein- aroused
Us 10 the 1latnre Of the money they were offer
ing, it Was mt length refused. It rurror,ed to
be Issued By the American Bank OF the State
OF Indiana snd the Bank Of Clifton, Province
OF Canada. When Messrs. Chadwick and
Sands found the1nselyrs unable to obtain any
n1orc Gotten, they made contracts with the
waEonmast.rs for the distribution Of their
LOCUS money alon. I'll. road, and hired private
soldiers to tEavs! through the country and
1It il off.
In Huntsville they passed lot OF it to
captain Of the 1st Tennessee regiment, who
happened to be in town. Silortly after, the
captain, t,ccouing suspicious u:ar all was not
right, took the money back to them, and they
very proluit!y refused to redeem it. The
captain at oncr Made complaint Of Sands AID
Chadwick TO Grn. Mitchell, who had them
:,rre6tcd Immediately and lodged in Jail. The
Provost Marshal then took possession of their
tifccte, broke open thrir trunks, and found
about serenity thousand dollars OF the bogus
money
The suffer of the 10Th Illinois is badly i'm
Tlica1ed in the business. rs he gave out sou1e
s. COO or s., 90 Of it in change to the Inrn OF
Lis regiment. mid then refused either to re-
deem it or to RECEIVE it III exchange for goods.
The regiment is much excited in consequence,
and I understand 1t is the intention Of the
military authorities to compel The 6utler tc
redeem every dollar Of the worthless money
l.e has paid out, in good current funds.
This gigantic and partially accomplished
swind1c has created great sensation here
