to give clearance unless requested - do

condemnation Of the Collector and Gensr-

These parties mast hare ali been ia New

person besides the captain and cfew was
James Larkin, who went on the boat, he
says, as purser, although he hnaliy CON

the captain. This maHwAs appointed By
Mr. Deyelin, upon the recommendation Of
Mr.. DaTldsoa. No ane seeaaes3ea take

Mr.. Develfn. Coiond Tonpkins knew
nothing of her cargo. The Union De-
Tense Uoarnitssa knsw nothing of her
cargo and when DIR. Cummings was ask

''Sot a PARTICLE He relied entirely ap-
on and trusted to the clerk, hir. Hamph-

lion of Mr.. Weed. IL must be left to the
surrounding facts who we're she friends
referred to By Ar, stetson, and whether
the boat was first loaded fog private
speculation; and when no clearance could
be obtained, hs. Cummings, khroagh bis

pH. CUMMINGS As AN 'fAexNr." a.
The Doctor was certainly remarkable
agent. The Secretary wants an eUerget-
10, Intelligent and experienced man, of
eourse-one more so than the Union De-
Tense Committee, or the army officers 10
| New York-oue on whom he ean rely; vet
tha Doctor, apparently, takes no interest
but to draw and pay the maney. When
| he was called on especially to aid in pur-
| chases, be trusts ii all to Mr.. Humphreys,
his clerk. When vessels are to be char
tered, be dosn't deem il worth while to
| examine them. He good nataredly says
he took il for granted that what the own
ers said was true. He was certainly a
confdenee man. The Secretary says, not
withstaHding the pressure on his private
business, be is sure he will aid him. Yet
| the Doctor repays this generous aud un-
bounded confidence by knowiug nothing,
absolutely nothing, Of the purchasing Of
articles or loading of vessels. ~
I Two million dollars, by the Secretary
| of the Treasury, we're piaced In the bands
Of committee of high-teaBsi, hanoFable
men, TO be paid OUT on tbs order or Fe-
QUESTION of Mr. Cummings, without bis
| producing to them any vouchers. Strange
as it may appear, while this money was
/ there TO respond to has resuisition, he
draws sl60se00, and deposits IL in hts
name, with bis private socogns, in one of
the city banks. Stranger still, four
months after his agency ceased, he leaves
no vouchers with the War Dapartrn aat.A--
The War Department, in ia generous
confidence, seeks no settlement With ttsa
Doctor, nor an inspection of his vouchers.
Such were the prominent transactions
occurring at time when mans geueF-
Qua instincts should freely have offered
