Frauds upon the Navy Department.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial advertiser says;
"The enormous frauds which have been
committed In the purchase Of supplies for tho
Navy Department, heretofore alluded to in this
correspondence, are now becoming known to
the members Of Congress and others In public
life here, causing profound astonishment. Ar
rests have been made, papers have been seized,
and the transactions of secret "rings" have
been exposed, involving frauds of long exist
enee, In which men who have sustained high
character and have occupied important posi-
tIons have been engaged. One of the govern
ment officials implicated has doubtless been
classed among the "solid men" of New York,
and one of the contractors has been for flfteen
years engaged in supplying the Navy Depart.
ment, sustaining high mercantile reputa-
tlon."
1.-THE "frauds of long existence" alluded to
probably originated in the Pierce and Buchanan
administrations1
