Mr.. Minister Hale is charged with what,
under the circumstances. is worse than grand
larceny. Members Of the diplomatic body in
all countries are allowed to receive, free Of
duty, such imported goods as they need for
personal, official or family use. Mr.. Hale, in
the ell of 1856, made an arrangement with one
or two merchants in Madrid, by which consld-
cradle quar titles of oarpetinR, linen cloth,
window curtaining and table napkin stuff were
imported from England, free of duty, on his
diplomatic privilege, and sold for the joint ben
eft OF himself and the merchants. In October
of that year, he was detected in thus importing
$50 pounds Of cotton stuff called ''orock, {"
1900 pounds Of woollen felt, and about A. 600
pounds of moqueta carpetine; and in Febru-
ary, 1867, of thus bringing in 400 pounds more
''crock," S75 pounds of linen damask and 760
Of curtain goods. Information OF his transac-
tions as dry goods importer did not reach
our government Till less than month ago. AS
soon as President Grant examined the papers
in the case, he determined to remove Mr..
Hale graciously giving him the opportunity
to resign.
