II IS now discovered that during the year
1859, Mr.. D. c. Slower, as the clerk of Hon.
John A. Cravens, the present member OF
Congress from the Second Congressional
District in this State, but at that time the
agent Of the State issued a large amount Of
fraudulent five per cent. stock. This stock
was never registered and has been in the
market since that time.
Mr.. Cravens resigned the position of
State agent after he had held the Office but
a short time, and Governor Willard ap-
pointed Mr.. Stover to fill thevaUancy, and
It is more than likely that he continued to
issue these fraudulent bonds during his en-
tire term Of Office, antedating them during
CraTeH's term IN order to make them val
id, and if possible save his own bondsmen.
Il is not known to what amount these
bonds have been issued, but more than
million dollars is known to have been in
existence by the confession of the guilty
I parties. 50 t-,o.. lal .lI.- .-- % =
Il is but justice to Dir, Crayens to say
that be had no knowledge whatever Of the
transaction until few. days since.
The bonds are signed -. A. Gravens, BY
J D. c. Glover, clerk None. Of these coun-
terfeit or spurious issues have ever been
resolved here for transfer, since. February
l1th, 1889, and the officers here have never
seen them. -a.Hs.
OF course, the war loan Of six per cent.
bonds Of Indiana, being coupon bonds, have
I no connection with the FIVE per cents. Of
/ the State, which is inscribed stock. vn
/ Col. Hudson, the present Adiutant Of
4 State, learned this fraud some months since.
/ and informed the State authorities here of
! its existence. Gov. Norton went immedi-
ately to New York and insisted upoh an
/ immediate arrest, and the prosecution of
the guilty parties; but Mr.. A Oakley Hall,
I the District Attorney, and Hon. Daniel S.
Dickinson, the Attorney General of New
York, on whom the prosecution, Sill j
voive, objected, and insisted that these par
ties to take these bonds, when an arrange
ment was affected between Messrs. Hall
and Stoyer's accomplices to redeem S25,000
weekly, and up to last Saturday they had
redeemed over 500, 900, leaving as they as
sert, about half a million dollars still in
the hands Of innocent parties
Mr.. Slower confesses the crime, and says
the funds are all in the hands Of his accom-
| plices, two well known Wall street brokers.
The same parties have bank at Bell
vile, New Jersey, of which Mr.. Stover is
the President. Arrangements have been
made for the arrest Of the guilty parties
Gov. Morton, who is now at Gen Hal
leek's headquarters, near C0rinth was tel
| egraphed these facts, and Immediately tel
! egraphed Mr.. John S. Kibbley, Attorney
General Of this State and Jessie j. Brown,
one Of the Loan Commissioners, to 60 to
! New York at once, and assist in the prose-
cution Of the guilty parties, which win be
Immediately done.
t. Martin Baltzner for the past eight years
/ Treasurer Of Franklin county, Indiana,
recently decamped with some 5000 be
/ longing 70 the county. It is said that he
has deserted his family, and that woman
1 not his wife accompanied him in his fight.
/ He left home for the ostensible purpose of
| settling with the State Treasurer, which he
failed to do. He is represented as being
slightly Secesh.
"Confscation means emancipation, say
the abolition leaders a tax on cotton and
tobacco would bring money into the Treas
ury, while confscation viii not but rath-
er block up the channels of trade by let
ting loose upon the community a vast horde
Of idle negro Fagfahts" y
EDS. LEADER The above is taken from
the columns of the Cleveland Plain Dealer
the editor of which paper is in great agita-
ton about that which is is none Of his
business. He was in favor Of the annex
alton Of the slave State of Texas; the re-
peal Of Missouri Compromise in order that
slavery might 20 on the free soil of Kan
sag be was opposed to the election Of
Abraham Lincoln, and has EVER opposed
every measure that has had tendency to
elevate humanity and he is now opposed
to the saving of all that is worth saving Of
What once belonged to his party,
"a vast horde of idle negro va
grants in those States that voted
. ave- for James Buchanan. His business
has been to enslaye. He would now like
to dictate to freemen; he cries not to help
the cause but to save his own soul. He can
see that a tax on cotton and tobacco will
bring money in the treasury, but he cam
not see that confscation viii do anything
only to block up the channels Of trade and
let loose q vast horde Of idle negro va
grants. He prints articles containing his
sentiments against liberty to, but none for
the poor slave. AN ABOLITIONIST.

: The Response TO the Governors Call.
On Sunday the Secretary Of War tele-
3 graphed Gov. Tod for amore men, Yes
q terday the Governor put the lightning tC
work on the 'double quick" over the State
? and last evening the imOre mem began
I to come in. Where 100 had been asked
z for, 500 came. GAINESVILLE and its neigh
horhoOd turned out simultaneously ana
' spontaneously and gregariously. In one
I township there are but two men under 81
f left at home-sO they say. And from thu
! number arrived here last night, we thinl
I It probable. Other townships Of old Mus
= kingum, they say, are also coming. An,
Q other counties are doing likewise.
