WASHINGTON, DeCemDer 1, loOS. #
The accounts of Robert W, Taliaferro, late
postmaster Of New Orleans, have been ex-
amined and balanced, and it ROW appears
that he owes the government about thirty
thousand dollars. Suits against him and his
sureties are to be pushed with the utmost
rigor of the law. Against his first bond, on
which j. Madison Wells and General Will
liam Bailey are sureties suit of seventeen
thousand dollars will be brought; and
against his second bond, with Wells, Bailey
and Senator John Ray as sureties, there is a
claim of thirteen thousand dollars.
Many New Orleans people are passing
through this city, and their accounts OF
the late election in Louisiana are calculated
to strengthen the opinions of Congressman
against counting the vote Of your State,
and against receiving your Congressional
delegation. The chances of Colonel Jones
for the short term are favorable.
Thomas ]. Durant says he will probably
remove to Louisiana after Andrew Johnson
term of office expires, when loyal men will
receive protection.
General Butler is expected here to-day
Louisianians have posted him on your State
affairs, and look to him for support in re-
storing law and order. u...
Judge Dent, brother.in.law of General
Grant, and lately Treasury Agent at New
Orleans, has opened law office opposite
he Chronicle office in this city. Nathaniel
Paige, formerly editor of the New orleans
REPUBLICAN, is associated with him. The
latter denounces the Republican Office hold.
ers in Louisiana.
Richard L. Shelley and John Mollere, OF
New Orleans, are here, and appear quite
busy in their movements among prominent
public men. ......
The pressure for the appointment and
confirmation of General West as Treasury
Supervisor for Louisiana and Arkansas was
very strong, and it is supposed that nothing
but the streng friendship and confdential
relations existing between the heads of the
Treasury Department and Mr.. Creeey de-
feated the former and secured the appoint
ment to the latter. .-.sr
Mr.. Creecy will be assisted in his official
duties by Mr.. Lawrence ,whois now examin-
to the revenue frauds in the Northern
district of Louisiana, and who skes strong
showing against Tisdale aud Norcross. Every
one says Mr.. Creecy is honestand can not be
bought. ......... ..-..r.-
Mr.. H. G. Penniman, of New Orleans, who
is on confidential relations with Commits
sioner Rollins, represents the operations Of
the whisky ring" in Louisiana as the most
stupendous frauds ever committed in thi:
country.
His statements are supported by the tes-
timony of Mr.. Hughes, who had been 8
clerk for General Steedman for more than 6
year, and who has furnished valuable in
formation to the Government. Commission
er Rollins is greatly excited over the reve
nue. frauds in Louisiana, and complains
that Andrew Johnson did not remove Steed
man long ago.
Startling developments will soon be mad'
to the courts and to Congress.
General Grant is very decided in his ex
pressions that lawlessness In the Southern
States shall cease, and fair elections be al
