Consul TrufnbuII In Trouble.


The Boston Courier publishes a letter from
correspondent at Talcahuana, China, giving
account Of mn operation Of the U. 8. Consul
at That port, who is Mr.. james Il. Trumbull,
relative Of tho Illinois Senator. The affair Is
stated thus:
During the month Of August Inst, an Amer.
lean by the name OF William Stevens, EN-
ploycd 10 the mill Of Mr. Casanuero, in
Tome, was put in jail on account Of dtiH-
Guilty with one Gibson; and Scotchman By
the name OF Geo. Chcssor, who witnessed
the disturbance, was also fucarceEtcd.
Stevens applied to the q. s. Consul {Trum-
l.1l) for his official assistance and influence
20thr Mr. TrumbuN visited him, apd said
that "Ao would get them out II they would
Tuy him $500, Which he nTonld pay Gibson to
compromise mattcrs.'' Mr.. Trumbull told
Stevens and Cheesor that they were each
fined SO, so "tllat they were to pay over to
him, In a1l, s400, which he would fake charge
of, and get them both ont" On this Chessor
paid s50to MIR. Trumbull, and Stevens paid
him In addition, $3.50. Consul Trumbu1l left
the jail with the 800; and whcn he came
back, he informed them that they were free.
Trumbull SIS for his s*otficiai services u and
cnpenses Of his trip to Tome
The employer Of The imprisoned parties be-
leying that ftnud had been practiced upon
them, set on foot an investigation, and dis
covered that such WIS the case. Papers re-
lating to the matter laye been forwarded to
Washington. -.
