doing what it can to relieve the distress

SINGULAR ACCUSATION AGAINST
SECRETARY STANTON.

Correspondence OF the Boston Post
WAsHISGToN, May 30.-EX-Secre-
tary Stanton, who has been i'll for
some weeks, has so far recovered as to
be able to ride out. 1t will be recol-
lected that some months ago there
was controversy about the senti-
ment of Mr.. Stanton at or about the
time OF the breaking out of the rebel
hon, relative 10 the merits of the issue
between the North and the South.
On the one hand IL was alleged that
Mr.. Stanton was in, full sympathy
with the Southerners; that ne said
encouraging words 10 q certain United
States military officer who had deter
mined 70 espouse the Southern cause ;
that he enthusiastically endorsed the
course determined upon by Ex-
Senator Brown, and gave hiIn a God
speed as he left the United States
Senate to 60 over to the Southern
Confederacy, etc. On the other hand,
it was by the friends Of Mr.. Stanton.
but never by himself, denied that he
was in sympathy with the rebellion
at the commencement thereof, etc. etc.
On this subject ansthef and more per-
lect proof has tufned UP. A letter is
extant written by Mr.. stanton to q
gentleman in the West, wherein the
CamOt of the war h une eualified terms
expresses his approval of the stand
taken by the South and his sympathy
with their struggle. The letter 4
dated after the attack upon Sumter,
and after the date of the melee be-
tween the Baltinaoreans and members
of the Massachusetts, troops when the
latter were passing through Baltimore
en- route for Washington in 1861.
The Lslperi0liSt still lives" at a
poor, dying ratel--but has a meagre
and sickly look. We feel sorry for
those who are afraid it will overturn

KING OF THE TURF.
Pedigree and Description ef the Horse
HerzOg.

From lexington observer and Reporter
Such interest is manifested by the
public in this colt, on account of his
recent unequaled achievement at Gin
cinnati, that we give brief memoir
of him with his extended pedigree.
He was foaled the property of Mr.. J.
a. Grinstead and W. J. Hawkins, in
the spring Of 1866, and soon after he
was fOaled, in a sale of land by q. G..
Thomas to Mr., Hawkins, the former
obtained the interest of tine latter gen
tleman in Herzog, and several other
heads of thorough bred stock, includ-
ing Dixie his dam.
In the fall Of 1896 Messrs, Grinstead
and Thomas exchanged some of their
partnership interest in thOrOughbreds,
and Major Thomas then became the
owner of HerZ0g. When eighteen
months old he was taught to gallop,
and when two years old he took his
first lesson in running. His training
as a race horse began in the fall of his
second year, and, though he was
beaten twiee that year, the most
|prejudiced had to admit his want oi
condition.
This spring, the undivided half OF
him was sold to Mr.. Jackson, and he
was taken to Nashville to be prepared
for the spring campaign, which has
just terminated with the Cincianati
races. Herzog is a beautiful bay 49,
hands high with frOst-bitten ears,
and looks like great rage horse. He
was sired by Vandal, son of Glencoe,
and his dam is Dixie by imp. Sove-
reign ID dam, St.Mary by Hamlet; Sd
dam, Vamp;. 4th dam, Wire; 9TH
dam, Penelope; 9Th dam, Prunella
7th dam, Promise; Sth dam, Julia; 9th

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Com
Rlereial. -as7 a-.. ss+ ,.s.s ..t
W4sHTSGToN, May 2s.-In June,
1865, there were received at the Treas
uIy Department three wooden boxes,
said to contain valuables turned over
by the War Department for safe keep
| ing. These boxes have since laid in
the vaults of the Treasury, but were
to-day opened by the efforts ofa United
| States Senator, some of whose cOnstit-
/ uents were supposed to be interested.
A committee, composed of officers of
the War and Treasury Departments,
| witnessed the carrying out of the joint
order of the two departments. The
| boxes We're found to contain exceed
| ingly valuable invoices of diamonds,
Ofpearls, necklaces, watches, earrings,
| brooches, rings, chains, seals and all
manner of rare and expensive jeWelry,
to the value of many thousands of dol
lars. The most valuable property,
however, which the boxes contained,
was a very large amount of solid sill
verware, neutrality-suspicious., salyers,
spoons, knives, urns, cups, and all
kinds of plates, some of which was
thought to be more than a hundred

some very rich wearing apparel for Ia
dies, silks, velvets, laces, etc., besides
an incredible amount of Confederate
notes and bonds, and notes of State
banks. There was small amount of
specie, both gold and silver. The
boxes We're about the size of ordinary
dry goods boxes, and the value of their
contents is variOusly estimated at from I
twenty thousand to one hundred thou
sand dollars. Many of the articles
contained the family crests, initials, or !
mOnOgrams of the owners, and all7
were-of the finest and most costly de !
scTiption. The boxes were sent by |
the Provost Marshal-General of the |
Army of Tennessee to the War De- |
partment in this city, and Secretary /
Stanton turned them over to rreasu- /
rer Spinner, subject to future action. |
The valuables are supposed to have
been taken possession of by Sherman'S |
men in Georgia and other States, |
where they had been abandoned by /
the fleeing inhabitants. In some cases
they were taken from banks which +.
had ceased to do business upon the |
approach of the Federal army. The |
officers of both departments are un-
certain of their duty in the matter of
the disposition of the property. Some ,
hold that it should be returned, under |
proper restrictions and proof Others
believe the articles belong to the Gov
under the laws of Congress,
and that they Should be sold and the
proceeds. covered into the Treasury.
Still others affirm that neither the
War nor Treasury Departments has
any authority in the premises, and
that a special act of Congress should
be called for. Nothing has yet been
done, and the valuables are returned |
to the vaults Of the Treasury.
