New Developments in the Eetchum
Fraud

As tho Investigation into tho affairs of
the house Of KETCuUM & Co. progresses
the darker grows the case, not only for
the principal swindler himself bat for
others of the firm who were for weeks
previous to the public expose, cognzant
Of what had been done, and who withheld
ali knowledge from those who have been
SO deeply wronged. There are also ru-
mors ahoat that in the fna! adjustment of
the affairs of the house, Determinations
are made with creditors that detects Sc
riously from the previous reputation Of
the older members Of tae finn. The New
York Sun says:
From letters submitted to a meeting Of
the creditors of ketchum, Son & Go it
appears that the detaIcation of yourr
ketchum was known to two persons, mem
bers of the firm, several weeks before the
public development. One Of these letters
addressed 10 the deiautor, was written by
Mr.. Swan, partner in the ketcaum con-
Germ, and was dated Aug. 4th, 1865 The
writer says IN this letter that the delin>
quent admitted to him, long before the
denouement, that lie mad distracted a
large amount of the firms funds, but the
matter was KEEP. secret to avoid exposure.
This is his language: " know that the
amount Of your distractions from The as
sets of the firm are much greater than you
admitted to be the case when | first spoke
to you on the subject" and he furthur
says, 81 cannot permit things TO % on
in this way any longer" Mr.. Belknap,
another member Of the firm makes similar
developments. According to his statement
about one million dollars Of the firms
funds were missing on the first of June,
and the matter waa kept from the public
IN order " to prevent exposure. Even the
senior member, Morris Ketchum, an
nounced at the meeting of the creditors
that the secrecy ofhis partners relative to
the fraud "was the dictate equally Of good
sense and Kindness" From all these facts
it Is evident that the firm knew of the
speculations Of young Ketchum long be.
fore the fraud was detected on TIE street,
and also that they sought to keep the
matter secret. 1t is not strange, under
such circumstances, that some Of The crtdi-
tors were not easily satisfied.

a Coop CoMrAEIsoS-Ona Of the New
York papers compares the publisher OF
newspaper who has to go all parts of the
country before getting pay for them, to a
farmer who would sell his wheat on credit,
and not more than a single busLel to any
person. If any farmer will try The exper-
iment Of distributing The proceeds of bis
labor over two or three counties, with an
additional busLe! or two to far distant
States, for one year, We will guarantee
that lie will never after that years ex
peTience ask a publisher to supply him
with paper year or two without the
pay for it.

Buchanan was working toI Tie peace con-

were then IN the cabinet those who not

Whether, therefore, You consult the
public record, or 60 beyond lis veil and
