HEAVY CORRUPTION !
Frauds in the Methodist Book Con-
Germ.
Several Hundred Thousand
Dollars Involved.
An Investigation in Progress

New YORK, September 2l.-The Times
saws: We are creditably informed that
the new agent of the Methodist Book
Concern, Rev. DR.. Lanahan, has discoy'
cred in that establishment great corrup-
tion frauds involving losses to TIM
amount of several hundred thousand
dollars, The subject is new undergoing
investigation. AS soon as the details
can be given to the public without pre-
iudice to any but eulpable parties they
will be furnished. These frauds it is
said have been going on fer some eight
or nine years and of course their full
extent is not yet ascertained with pre-
cisiOn.
New YORK, September 2l.-1t ap-
pears that the frauds discovered IN the
Methodist Book Concord consist in the
alleged fact that son of DR.. Porter, one
of the agents, has received commissions
for the past eight or nine years, averag-
ing not less than per cent, for pur-
chasing printing paper for the insttu-
ton; that is, the agent has permitted
his son, who is q paper broker, to charge
heavy commissions for doing what it was
the agents duty to do himself. Report
says the purchases on which the COM
missions have been allowed, amounted
to $50, 900 per annum, and also that the
son sold paper to the concern at rates
which gave him greater profit. IT.
regularities are also reported In the
binding department., but no particulars
are known. A rigid investigation is
progressing, and the implicated parties
have been dismissed.

ernments of England and France have,
after diplomatic consultation, come to

convent and ceases henceforth to preach
in the church of Notre Dame of Paris.
As reason for this step he declares he

protests before the Pope and Council
against the doctrines and practices OF
the Romish Church, which are not in
accordance with the principles of Chris
tiaEity.
MADRID, September 2l.-The journals
of this city are still violent against the
presumed unfriendly action of the
American Government. Some of them
urge an immediate declaration of war
if the Cubans are recognized as belliger-

propriety of returning Sickles' note un'

their reply until the arrival of General
Prim.

not say any thing about it at present,
but that he would make his decision
known at the proper time and through
an official channel. The Department
processes not to be alarmed at the
threats from New York of a combination
forming to lock up thirty millions Of
gold coin, and declares that his policy
will not be worked by the dictation OF

The Forthcoming Report.
A mischievous paragraph has been
sent hence, that on his forthcoming an
nual report, the Secretary of the Treas
ury intends to recommend an increase Of
the tax on whisky and the levying OF
tax on raw cotton of one cent pei
pound. He furnishes denial OF 'nis
report, and says that he shall Suggest
nothing of the kind. Mr.. Boutweli ID
of the opinion that if the tax on dlstil'
led spirits is fully collected tits Oil inc
Government ought to ask. 1t Is not
unavoidable, however, that Commission
er Delano may recommend the cotton
tax; but the Secretary is averse to 1t.
Good News from Pennsyivania.
Letters received here from Pennsyl-
yania, from Democrats of prominence,
express the greatest confidence in the
election of Packer for Governor on the
18th of October. The change in the
local ticket in Philadelphia has added
very materially to the strength OF the
Democratic State ticket. Forney says
unless the Republicans poll full vote
the State is lost.

FROM CHICAGO.
Return of Col. Powelps Exploring
ExpeditIon.


CHICAGO, September 2l.-Col. j. w.
Powell, the Colorado explorer, returned
to this city yesterday, having success
fully travelled the entire Grand Canon
from Green river to the point where the
Colorado debouches into the open plain
in the territory of Arizona. From the
point where Col. PowelPs last letter
was written, the expedition descended
the river about four hundred miles, be-
tween walls almost vertical, ranging
from 500 to 1900 feet in length, the ex-
terror view of the canon being from 25OO
to 1000 feet above the bed of the
river. More than 200 waterfalls
and cascades emptying themselves over
the walls OF the canon into the main
river, were seen in this distance, pre-
senting almost every variety of natural
scenery. The geological formation OF
the canon consists principally OF lime
stone and sandstone. Granite was
found only at three places and in lin
tied amount. No discoveries of precious
metals were made and no indications of
gold or silver were found in the bed OF
the river. One section of the canon
was found to consist of very fine and
beautifully polished marble which is ut
present entirely inaccessible. The coun-
try traverssd is barren beyond descrip-
tiou. and is pronounced by Colonel
Powell not tit for cultivation.

RICHMOND, September 2O.-The fol-

North Carolina, which adjoins Lenoir,
where the arrest of eighteen members of
the Cuklux was recently made: A few
evenings since, Mr.. David Green, q re-
spectacle citizen of Jones county, while
crossing Chinquepiu creek seven miles
from Trenton and less than mile from
his residence, while on his way home
was fred at by party of men concealed
in the underground. Eleven buckshot
took effect, seven in his left side and
