DefaultIng Pension Agent..Govern-
ment Robbed of $50, 700.

s..r..F. NEW 4UhhI Aptll 90
The Tribune says that the examination
Of tho accounts Of General Lawrence,
lately pension :agent Of this city, has
shown that there not only Is q defalcation
but that the amount Is far beyond what
was at first feared. The friends Of the
missing man appear no less deceived as
to the condition Of his affairs than the
public. The examination has been so far
completed as 10 show deficit Of over
$4,000. A large number Of pension
checks, the payment OF which were sus-
pended because no funds wcre provided
at the sub.treasury to meet them, have
been returned to the pension office. Pen
sioners will, of course, receive the full
amount for which the checks were drawn;
the Government being the only loser by
the defAlcation.
In the case of Gen. Lawrence, cx.pen-
sion agent, It Is said that the government
has been defrauded by system Of raised
checks, and that in foreign pensions,
which arc paid In gross by the govern
ment and payable to the order Of the
agent, Lawrence was In the habit Of re-
porting the total sum as much larger than
itreally was, and obtaining check for q
false amount. Il Is believed hero that he
went to Chicago as first stated, and that
he Is now in Canada. It Is said that a
woman is the cause Of the whole trouble,
and that she accompanied him in his
flight The ultimate losers BY the defal.
cation will be Gen. Lawrence's bondsmen,
whose liabilities are amply sufficient to
indemnity the government. ------

New Railroad Projected from New
York to Chicago.

New YoRK, April 20.
A movement toward the building Of a
new and imp lrtant railroad has been
made in this State, by the filing OF deeds
Of trust in the clerks offices Of lhe several
counties through which the road will pass,
for the New York, West Shore, aud
Chicago Railway Company. This road
has been In contemplation by New York
capitalists for several years, and the route
laid out. Nothing has ever been done be,
yond studying maps Of routes and earnest
discussion Ot the project in certain mon.
eyed circles. But few energetic men
have now taken the matter in hand, and
the work will be begun at an early day.
The route OF the road through the State
Of New York starts at a point on the west
shore Of the Hudson River near tho Jer.
sey line, and runs through RoCkland,
Orange, Ulster, Greene, and Albany coun.
ties, Leaving Albany, 1t runs north.
westerly to Schenectady along the south
shore Of the Mohawk River to Utica, then
west to Syracuse. Thence 1t leads to
BuiEIlo. and has its terminus in this State
ut point on the Niagara River, In Erie
county, running through the counties Of
Schoharie, Schenectady, Montgomery,
uerkimer, Oneida, Madison, OnOndagN,
Cayuga, Seneca, Ontario, Livingston,
Monroe, Wyoming, Genesee and Erie, af
ter leaving the Hudson. A route has
been selected west from this State, with

THE KU.KLUx IN ALABAMA.
Outrages on Methodist Preachers =.
Minister Thornton Investigating
an Outrage on a British Subject.
WAsIIiNOTON, ADril 2l,

WARRINGTON, April II.
A leading minister Of the NJ E. Church
In Alabama writes to u member oil Con.
greSs from that State that, having just
completed his second round Of quarterly
meetings in his district, he is fully per.
suaded that he cannot prosecute his min.
isterial labors in that State and escape as.
sassination. He has been obliged TO hide
in private places, travel unftequcnted
roads and bridle.p paths, and to be guarded
at nights to avoid death or torture by the
Ku.Klux. His people have become alarm.
ed for him, and he has therefore deter.
mined TO leave the State. He says that
the feeling Of bitterness and hostility to
the Government is increasing, and that he
has never known such feeling Of inse.
Curity and uneaSiness among loyal men
before. He has no confidence in q Ku.
Klux bill. There is deep-seated, wide.
spread, villainOus purpose in the South to
revolutionize the Government, and unless
q heavy hand Is laid upon the outlaws, he
thinks that the Ku.Klux will get posses.
sion Of States, as they have Of counties
He says that two Of his presiding Elders
have been driven from their districts; two
white preachers have been brutally whip.
ped, and driven from their work; one
colored preacher and his son have been
shot and killed; one has been beaten and
both his arms have been broken, one Of
them in two places; and one white preach
er has been shot in his own house and
killed. .
The jealousy with which the British
Government guards the person and pro.
perty Of Its subjects Is well illustrated 10
the recent action Of Minister Thornton.
A paragraph appeared in the Washington
correspondence Of the Tribune, a few days
ago, announcing that an English school
teacher had been whipped In Alabama,
and that Mr.. Buckley had received the
full particulars. An English family In
Jersey City, a member Of which was
teaching in Alabama, Immediately tele.
graphed to Minister Thornton In regard
TO the matter, and he was on the floor OF
the House the same day as soon as Con.
greSs met, inqniriug in regard to tho mat
ter. He then designated some one in Ala.
bama to investigate the matter, and will
now bring the matter before our authors
ties for redress.
