An Outrageous Swindle-How Paymasters
Rob the Government-The Soldiers Like
wise Observation-Disclosures National Banks
Implicated.
special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.

| Special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.
| WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Aug %, 1865
Several months ago at a Cabinet meet
ing, the question was discussed whether
Seven-Thirties should be paid out to SOL
diers. Mr.. Lincoln approved the policy
for the reason that banks and merchants
in localities where large amounts were
paid at one time would in all probability
place discount on the bonds when
they exchanged legal-tenders for them;
subsequently it was determined that
Paymasters should be furnished with
certain proportion of Seven-Thirties.
and should, before paying off, notify
officers and soldiers that they could take
their choice of the funds in which they
should be paid. Through the conniv-
ance of some of the Paymasters, the
result apprehended by Mr.. Lincoln has
occurred. Paymaster-General Brice has
completely unfolded the whole scheme.
Colonel Binney, Paymaster in charge
OF the Norfolk district, took there few
months ago eight millions OF dollars i'm
United States Treasury checks, in utter
violation OF his Instructions He had
them cashed in Norfolk, and took in ex-
change 7-30s. BY an arrangement with
the National Bank of Norfolk, of which
one Coles, u notorious Secessionist. is
President, Binney received one-half of
the per centage allowed by Jay Cook &
Go. for the circulation of 7-3O bonds.
Some of the other paymasters, of
whom he has eight (S) under him, get
ting wind of the transaction, went to
Binney and compelled him to share
with them. Those who at present, APP
pear to have made the most out of this
little financial transaction are Majors
Pullsfer, Howell and Narmon. Their
gains in one month alone We're over one
thousand dollars each. Binney received
in the same time over thirteen thousand
dollars. rs 80 III
The gains of the National Banks at
Richmond and Norfolk must have been
enormous, for large proportion of the
bonds came back on their counters to be
exchanged for legal tender notes, and
they Invariably charged from one-half
10 one per cent. discount. The mer-
chants and suffers followed suit, and a
soldier could not buy the smallest article
with his 7-30 bond unless he submitted
TO this infamous swindle. 80
:, These facts have been developed by
The examination of Mr.. Clark. cashier
Of the National Bank at Norfolk who
has made a statement of over $500. 900
hat he has paid out to different paw
masters, all of which has come out of
he soldiers.
The Paymaster-General is informed
hat there are other localities where
imilar offences have been committed.

windlers is not yet determined, but the

There is stern determination mani
tested by the press and people at the
North to bring to prompt punishment
the authors of the many serious railroad
disasters which have occurred lately in
different sections of the country. The
World styles them all horrible murders,
and insists that the presidents, directors,
conductors, and various other employees
be held to strict accountability. A
few convictions and executions, it
thinks, would exercise healthful infiu-
ence, and in this idea it is seconded by
the press generally. The people and
the coroners' juries are also taking the
matter in hand, and we shall not be
surprised if the railroad managers are
taught to be little more careful of hui
man life in future.
