Immense Frauds at Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The House
Committee on frauds in the pay Depart
mcnt, in the course of their Investigations
have discovered some startling frauds in
the payment of bounties in the Second
Auditors office which implicate clerks in
that Office and in the Office of the Adjutant
General principally, in the payment of
colored soldiers. By the bounty laws
'colored soldiers who were slaves were al
lowed one hundred dollars bounty, and
free colored men three hundred dollars,
and in advocating the accounts, the latter
amount was paid in a very large number
of cases, where only one hundred dollars
was due, the difference being divided be-
tween the clerks and certain ring of
claim agents.
Upon the facts being made known to
Secretary McCulloch, he to day issued an
order suspenaing payments of bounties to
'colored men, and all the papers and re-
cords in the cases were placed in room of
the Department and the key was turned
over to the Chairman of the Investigating
Committee. Secretary Schofeld took sim
liar action I'd day, and the Committee will
now proceed to free examination of all
the papers in each Department relating to
the snbject. Two prominent firms of
claim agents in this city are largely i'm
plicated in the frauds.

The Treasury has paid out $4,000, ,O60
this week on account of interest Gov
ernmcnt bonds are lower. Parties who
have been carrying are obliged to sell.
Capital is glut in Europe. Loans are
made at 2 per cent, but there, as here,
trade is stagnant, and the working classes
are seething and boiling with strikes and
revolutionary movements, all of which en-
barrass the capitalist, retard the recupera-
ton of commerce, and react to the disad-
vantage of the wcalth-producer. 1t is a
bad sign when money is quoted cheap.
Business activity draws out money, and
scatters it broadcast through all the ave-
nues of production and consumption.
When the latter are stagnant, as is the
case now, money flows back to the Golfers
of the capitalist, and is to be had at very
low rates. A "glut" in the money marts
of the world, is very bad indication. 1t
tells of hard times among the artisans and
workingmen. As rule, "dear money
market" is healthy sign. 1t means ac-
tive commerce.
