Der, 1S6i, and the prosecuting witness, Mr..
NcGhan, has also sued him for scandal, for
publishing the same, laying $1,000 damages.

COLLECTORS OFFICE United States Internal
RereHus, District of Columbia, Washington,
Nov. l., 1e6l.-HOn. g. A. Dana, Assistant Secre-
fdTy Of Var: Sri think You Will agree with
me that the Administration should not lend its
assistance 10 nen in efforts to overthrow the
Government by retaining in position those
who are using their offices or the emoluments
received therefrom for that purpose. There
are many such, you are doubtless aware, and
convinced. as lar as you have the power,
YOU Will hurl all from such positions where
charges of dislOyalty can be fully sustained
against the indi viduals.
L desire, therefore, TO bring one such case TO
your notice Mr.. Francis McCihan, of this
city, has made large sum of money by fur
nishiDg pipe and other plumbing materials
through Capt. Moore, of the Quartermaster's
Department. This money has not been made
through contracts but through the favoritism
of Capt Moore and others connected with that
Department. Now this McGhan has been
freely using tins money and patronage thus
bestowed upon him In the recent elections in
efforts 70 overthrow the administration, and on
the night of the election made himself particu-
larry obnoxious to our Union citizens by going
about hUrrahing for Little Mac, and offering to
bet any amount on his election. He has also
had Mcclellan flag run across the street in
front OF his place of business ID street. 1t
Is known throughout the city that his sympa-
thies are all with the secessiOnists. l can bring
additional proofs of the facts contained in this
communication if desired.
1t is no pleasant duty to me to report these
cases, but am determined to do what can in
having removed all such dIsloyal mer from
positions of honor or profit under this admin
lsratlon. have the honor TO be yours, &c
(Slgned,) l.. CLEPHANE.
