for the purpose of carrying to the front in or
der to pay certain regiments there. 1t appears
that after drawing the money he took it to his

it in trunk under his bed and supposed it all
safe. Sometime during the night, the trunk
was taken from his room and this morning
servant in the house found the trunk a the
stable broken open, and an amount of postage

AN EXPLANATION.

As our friends of the Baltimore American
seem to imagine that "the national executive
committee" Of which Mr.. Pomeroy signs him.
self " chairman is the national committee act
ing under authority Of the Chicago convention,
1t may be well for to call its attention to the
fact that Gov. Morgan, OF New York, 70 the
chairman of that committeeman MI. PoInsroy,
whose committee was constituted by no poiiti
cal organization that has SO far appeared ION
the boards'' of our nationalpoiitics. A labored
investigation to ascertain who compose Mr..
P.'s committee, and by whom elected, has 50
far proved utterly fruitless.
