FOURTEEN PAYMAsTERs IMPLICATED
IN FRAUDS. The Richmond correspond
ent of the New York Herald under date
of the 23d, writes
1t is now believed and asserted that
fourteen paymasters in this department
are involved with Col Binney in the al
legged frauds growing out of the issuance
of the seven-thirties. 1t now appears
the Norfolk Bank has had seven millions
of these seven-thirties, six millions and a
half of which have actually found their
way into the hands of the paymasters
A rigid investigation is going on, and
has proceeded so far that there is no OBJ
lection so far as | can learn, to these
facts being made public 1t is further
believed that a large number of Northern
paymasters areiinvolved in similar trans
actionsJ who have had charge Of dis
bursements at depots and other Northern
rendesvouz where troops have been sent
to be paid off The gross amount OF
frauds will, it is believed, prove to sun
up to a startling figure.
