| produces some solicitude on the
whole subject of the series, al
though the whole redemption OF
coupons did not exceed the amount
issued but, in the case of this series
the redemption of the coupons
comes so near to the whole issue
appearing on the registers books,
that the duplication cannot be fully
explained by the absence of cou-
pons entirely from some numbers"
In respect to the duplication of
the 5-20s, I'd series, just alluded
to, the committee reject the theory
of Mr.. Clark, the Superintendent of
the Printing Bureau, that one class
of these Implications is fraudulent,
and that the bonds were produced
from ga face-plate" before it came
to the Treasury, and that the backs
were initiated in the same class of
types as those used in the Treasury.
The committee express themselves
entirely satisfied that the duplicates
in question "were duplicated in the
Treasury, and not out of it.
Again. OF the 5,20's, 4th series,
four bonds of 1000 each cannot
be accounted for.
Other facts of lesser note are
stated by the committee; but the
quotations We have already made
from their report are amply suf-
ficient to prove both fraud and gross
irregularities on the part Of those
connected with the Printing Bureau,
and although the committee appear |
to have obtained no evidence di-
lectly duplicating any of the officers
Of the Bureau or their subordinates,
they charge that $50 large an ele-
ment of incapacity and unfaithful-
ness is introduced into its opera

efforts of those who are sincerely J
DESTROYS Of doing the best possible

fore, come to the sensible conclu-
sion that the Printing Bureau of the
Treasury Department ought to be
and any one who has
read the abstract Of the
report, as given above, must GER
.ainly be impressed with the belief
hat a good deal of rascality has
been practiced in the Printing Bu-
reau, and that some radical change
n that branch of the Treasury De
Dartment has become a matter of
necessity. !

TRADE TRCKs,-A correspondent of
the New York Commercial Advertiser
has made the discovery that there are
such things as tricks of trade. It is
too true that the Pepper Dust told
about in. the Successful Merchant, )"
has its counterpart in every business
and profession. The above mentioned
correspondent finds that if the article
be fish in barrels, the lower head is ia
ken out and layer of fish is removed,
the space being filled up with salt. The
bottom of raisin boxes are also opened
and the fruit taken out, and a similar
fraud islinterwoyen with all branches Of
trade. 1t is a common and very con-
yenient reply when the customer com
plains of short account, to charge the
whole thing on some imaginary rail-
way thief, and that there is the end of
the matter. Very frequently goods are
charged after purchase is made, par
ticularly if the goods are for third
party. A lady recently purchased as
present for friend an elegant service
of French china. and paid suitable
price. 1t was ordered to be sent and
its recipient had a visit from the do
nor, who in viewing the set was much
surprised. An Inferior had been sent,
making difference of $25 or more.
She was much distressed, but there
was no remedy. The dealer, taking
advantage of the fact that it was going
to third party, had sent an inferior
article, thereby clearing 80 per cent.
more than otherwise. 1t is common
for people from the country in making
purchases at different places to have
the paroles packed. It's recommend
ed that such people attend personally
to this business of packing otherwise
they will find some things missing.

LONGsTREET, HOOD, AND BEAURE-
...as- GARD.


A correspondent of the Boston Tray
eler writes from New Orleans:
Into the uncompleted Custom House
upon which General Beauregard
was working when he abandoned archi-
lecture for the field, we went, admir-
ing the grand design and the ponder
Gus masonry Of the building. In the
rooms where the troops We're quartered
during the war, we found the desks Of
busy clerks surrounded by piles of Off
cial papers and bundles of red tape. In
the basement was the post-office, occu
plying nearly the floor, and its entrance
filled at all hours of the day with an
anxious-faced crowd. On the second
floor, the way to which is up the same
old rickety plank stairs, is the room
occupied by General Longstreet.
He was there when we went in, and
greeted us in a very cordial manner,
appearing as much at home as any 9th
er man should in fat Custom House
office. If Il man ever has reason to
smile it is when he gets into the Gus
tom House, for it is one OF the neatest,
prettiest, iolliest. LATEST positions ever
held by man.
S" General Hood is running com
mission store on the second floor of q
stone building on a side street. He
was very sociable, and talked freely
about the war, and said he regretted
nothing he had done, and would do the
same fighting over again if he had q
chance He said when he succeeded
General Johnson in command of the
western Confederate army he knew the
game was up. He was only fighting to
save his honor. The revolution" was
crushed when Vicksburg fell. and he
said SO at that time. He said it was
painful for him to talk about the lost
cause, and he did not like to recall the
war. gI
General Beauregard is President of
the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad
and has his Office in fine marble-front-
ed building in the wealthiest part of
the city He made little or no refer
ence to the war but confined his con-
versation to the commercial conSen-
ton and the condition of the railroads
From what he said and-our own expe-
rience, we concluded that nearly all
the railroads in the South were almost
as bad stock to invest in as Southern
Confedracy bonds. Nearly every one
had borrowed money at the North be-
fore the war, and when the Confeder-
acy confscated all moneys due north
ern creditors they paid these sums to
So the powers that were;;'' and, being
now obliged to pay these debts to the
lawful creditors, they have become

tR3ilroad Meeting at Richland


/ I'D. Ladd ami A. II. Hamilton,
Esqrs, of this city attended a Mass
Meeting at Richland, Keokuk county,
yesterday, the I'd inst. The meeting
was worry large and enthusiastic. 1t
is but doing simple justice to say of
the friends in that region that no
people along the Ottumwa line ofthc
Chicago and Southwestern Railway,
have done better than they have, and
mono are moro wide awake today
Ladd and Hamilton examined their
subscription to the road and found
that they had $50, $50, in first-class
notes by actual count. This was the
sum they first set themselves about
to raise, and they must have worked
most theoretically or they could not
have succeeded. We feel that much
praise is due that people for what
they have done. At the meeting
however, ofyesterday, after hearing
from the speakers that the amount
pledged to Judge Allcr along the Of
tumwa line was not yet raised, they
again willingly and cheerfully rolled
up their sleeves for the work: nm.

sand dollars more. Messrs. Ladd and
Hamilton desire to express their
thanks to the people in and about
Rlchland for their courtesies. 1t is
most emphatically true, that contrary
to the general rule, it is labor of
pleasure to hold railroad meetings
among the Richland people, and If
they don't succeed in getting rail
road, we shall always think they
ought to.
