THO rs McCRACKENF

Some Light may be threwn on the question OF the
identity Of the new Peeping Tom by the following
extract which we are permitted TO make from q
private letter dated Paris Feb. %
"A pair Of Americans Of my acquaintance pointed out
20 me 10 Gq'ign0ni this morning paragraph stating
that be sccundtly DICTATOR, the strength OF whose
letter 10 johnson Seward wrote almost as shameful
one to Mr Motley. il -- CAV. McCraezen and
Joining 20 this identity Of some other little lkeii-
hood, they much inclined to believe that this cit-
zen Of the United States is the person whom We
have the honor Of counting visiting list. Some
time last September or early in October, | was
told az the Consulate that a Mr. McCracken, repre-
santins himself a correspondent Of The Ner- York
Herald had been asking for my address left note

he came poorly dressed shirt rey dirty, looking quite

own account he had been the army then had place

tghty-and had left there for his health aud come to Eu
rope IA many foolish fellows do, without sufficient
means Of paying his expenses. His fatherinlaw was
uc bat mean He had written letters 10 several papers,
aud was sure Of money coming 10 him here from some one
10 Chicago; was surprised at the delay sure that
Hf NtD1y lOur Consul then off for his quarters vaca-
ton an 5wuzcTlandJ would furnish him money being a
friend Of his; asked trnc Of me 90 carry him
on li Monday Ghe following day, when Mr. " was ex-
pcced home got Of course and noted that was not 20
consider it gratulty" Eicolay told me that he did
not recall the mans face at all dd suppose that
as S'Oy was true 10 the extent that they were t0wnsmen

lived By direct begging FOR weeks here helped him

think. by charitable gentleman Of the name Of Tucker
Now this mans name is G. W. McCracken. He did not
indeed hai from NewYOrk, but from Illinois: but as
ntiao'ed above, there other little circumiix
beside identity of name, that lead suspect identity
