FROM WASHINGTON.
Alleged Claim Fraud-Surrender
of Lowenthal.

WASHINGTON, Oct ll.-Mr. Lowenthal
reported himself yesterday morning TO
the different departments, soliciting ar
rest The Paymaster General and other
accounting officers informed him that
they knew of nothing warranting his
arrest Lowenthal then proceeded to
the Criminal Court room, but neither
the Marshal or District attorney were
willing to arrest him. He afterwards
applied to the chief of police, but he
also declined to act, and only upon the
earnest solicitation Of Lowenthal ad-
mitted him to bail on his own recogni-
zance to answer any and every charge
which may be brought against him.
Some sensation has been produced by
a rumor that defalcation has occurred
in the Navy Yard Paymasters Depart
ment. The report is that Mr.. Thomp-
son, clerk in the Clothing Inspector 8
Bureau, has been making improper use
of his position. Psymaster Fulton, of
the yard, has been detached, and Pay
master Boggs appointed. No dereliction
is attributed to Fulton.
WASHINGTON, October H. CONVEX
sions of the 7.3O notes falling due August,
1867, into 5.2O's continue TO be made at
the Treasury Department, at the rate OF
something less than four millions per
week. There are now outstanding about
two hundred and seventy millions Of this
issue of 1908 These notes, owing to
the immense clerical labor involved in
their examination, can be redeemed by
the department at only about the average
rate of five millions per week, if pre-
scented as rapidly as they could be dis
posed of Parties holding 7.30 notes Of
the above issue will therefore do well &c
forward them to the Treasury for con,
version into 5.20's as soon as possible.

ONE TILTOE.

One of the nuisances of the pulpit and
press Of the North, is TILToS, edi-
tor Of a negro paper, called the hide
pendent He wears clerical robes, but
they cover a coxcomb, not an apostle.
He deserves TO be made notorious and
infamous in the South, SO that the ris-
ing generation may scorn his teachings
and detest his example. He affects to
hold himself high above the white peo-
pie of the South, while he arms the
meanest of the negro race into politi
cal convention. His sagacity consists
in discovering excellences in the black
race not to be found in the white. New
TON, generally recognized as the person
in whom the most exalted traits Of hui
manity eliminated, must give way for
FRED. DOUGLAS, who, according to this
Brooklyn coxcomb, becomes priest Of
Nature" The New York Herald thus
airs him:
The Rev. TwADDLINe TLToE is young
man who lives by his notoriety, and
gains his notoriety by his extravaganza.
His aim in life is to make a sensation,
and he has not enough sense to care
how the sensation is made. he began
his public career by letting his hslr
grow until it was as long as the tail Of
BARSUM's woody horse As this long
hair attracted considerable attention
especially among the BARRIERS, the Rev
ToDDLIEG TILToS imagined that it ex
allied him above his fellow-men, for
getting that any woman could exec
him in his capillary display. Then h'
set himself up as secondhand HENRI
WARD BEECHER, and tried hard to imi
tate this divine in his speeches ant
writings, but lacked the brains 10 sue

Mobile merchant:
In July felt confident | would make

of that amount is as much as / can rea-
sonably expect; and | assure you it
grieves me to think how short the crop

who had debts due them, and furnished
supplies and money to their debtors in

will do we'll to get the advance Of this
year back. Now, you see if such is not
the case.

All the cases went off for want of juris-

uow THEY SUCCEEDED.

The blood and thunder stories told OF
the South to influence public opinion in
the North, have worked like CHARM
and eliminated in Radical victory.
The riot at Memphis afforded material
to work on. A committee was sent
down by Congress to initiate the ahair
into massacre of innocents. True 10
this purpose and to the necessity oil
making capital for future elections a
long and false report was made and pub
lished. The Radical papers gave 1t
circulation and hurried it to localities
where contradictions could not 60.
After this, followed the riot OF New
Orleans. The negro papers OF
the North told only one story
TWAS one of rebels, slaughtering loyal
negroes. Pictures of pretended scenes
at the riot were hurried into the pictori-
ais and sent from one end of the country
to the other. No contradiction, no proof
was listened to. 1t was just what the
Radicals wanted They did not care for
the negroes killed-they needed the al
fair for party purposes. They tore and
mancled the truth-they outraged justice,
fairness and decency to save their party
from destruction. They sent profes-
sional sneaks and habitual liars to the
South to pick up scraps of scandal, and
convert the most commonplace occur
rences into evidences of treason. These
liars represented the South as still hos
tile to the Government, and, on the eve
of the late election, told the world that
the rebel soldiers we're actually organ
lied under their old officers for another
rebellion. 1t was more than limited that
ANDREW JOHNSON was at the head. In
this way the elections on Tuesday were
carried for the Radicals. In this way
the country is carried back to strife, and
perhaps to ruin.
