firm, Jackson being the stronger of
the two, that the poor mate could do
nothing, and after many struggles, both
were launched into eternity-drowned.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-A Herald's Wash
ington special says: The investigation which
is going on by the Retrenchment Committee
has developed facts which implicate parties
occupying high and influential positions
under the Government, in the cotton frauds.
A great deal Of fraud, more than was at first
supposed, has been practiced upon the Gov
ernment and citizens of the South, by the
cotton agent. 1t appears that these agents
were in the habit of confscating large guam
titles of Gotten in the name Of the Govern
ment, and after it had remained in their
hands a short time, they turned it over to
outside parties, who sold it and divided the
proceeds with the agents.
Another game which was resorted to eX-
tensively by these men, was to release the
cotton upon paymCnt of a handsome sum.

accorded the benefit of the presumption, If
the contrary did not appear upon muster
rolls, and the bounty allowed, if otherwise

The Second Auditor has decided that
where discharged colored soldiers have ap-

any arrearages Of nay, not paid in final dis
charge, or for bounty provided by the act Of

in New York has been made the victim OF
several Just such swindles, within the past

attempt upon the New York firm, the party
not only bought goods in the city, but or
dered further shipments at almost every
point of his route to the West, thus running
upa bill for thousands of dollars, which.
but for the sharpness of the firm in follow
ing up the goods, would have been lost, as
was thousands in other cases preceding it.
The object was to get the goods sold quickly,
pocket the proceeds and decamp; in other
words, it was to be second edition of the
