der the notice Of Justice Dowling OF the Tombs P0-

Robert b. Minturn, Of 78 South street, q membo
OF the Board Of Supervisors for Richmond county,

they had issued and purp0rting to be, in fact, the
original bonds, only tnat the forms were drawn up
in blank and could be filled up for any amount But
these fictitious forms were SO well gotten up that
they would deceive person who had taken any Of
the original stock bonds. The prime mover in this
business is Thomas Booth frequenter OF Wall
street. On the 2Sth Of February last he went to w.
H. Murphy, 65 Fulton street, and stated that he had
''particular printing jObn to be done ana asked II
Murphy could do 1t. He received the assurance
that the latter could do it we and on the following
day another man visited Murphy, bringing with hlm
THE oRIGINAL RICHMOND COUNTY BONDS
and gave an order for 200 OF the bonds at the same
time leaving ninety dollars with Murphy, as de-
posr on the cost and as an assurance Of good faith
In the transaction. The bonds were all printed, but
when Booth called for them Murphy refused 70 let
them 60 until the balance should be forthcoming In
few days the defendant called and paid fifty dol
lars more and requested to be allowed to take them
away. Murphy, however, held on until the full
amount was paid, and then
BOOTH TOOK THE FORMS AWAY.
In addition to the proof bond taken to Murphy'S
there was one elaborately sketched of In pencil,
from which fifty copies were TAKEN Detec-
tive Philip Farley was set to work upon
the case as soon as Mr. Minturn learned
the facts, and the result was the arrest
OF Booth In Maiden lane yesterday morning, "a
stated. The prisoner has been neld for further ex-
animation, and it is expected that several attempts
at passing the bonds or as genuine Will be proven.

ROUTMELL AND PLEAsAHTON.
The Latter Goes TO Grant with his Story of
the Muss in the Bureau.

NEW YORK, June 29.-The Tribune
correspondent telegraphed, last night,
that among the first to call upon the
President after his arrival yesterday
morning was General PleasantOn,
with written statement of his quarrel
with Boutwell,, which ne had during
the past few days prepared with great
care. Failing to see the President on
his first visit, he was obliged to 90 to
the White House a second and a third
time. He complains that from
the formation of the Government GER
tain duties were intrusted to the
heads of the bureaus, with which
neither the secretary OF that depart
ment nor any one else had been
allowed to interfere, and this was
necessary in order that too much
power or responsibility should not be
intrusted to one man. He says that
former Secretaries OF the Treasury
have attempted to reverse the deci-
sions of their bureau officers, but have
been overruled by the President In
almost every important instance, and
quoted as an example case where a
Comptroller in the Treasury Depart
nlent, whose decision was reversed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, ap-
pealed to General Jackson, and the
latter decided that neither the Secre-
tary nor the President even had a
right to revise the Comptroller's
work.
General PleasantOn claims that the
organization of the Internal Revenue
Bureau was made more independent
Of the Secretary than any others, and
even the organic act defining the COM
missi02ers duties makes no provision
for supervision by the Secretary. He
claims too, that the whole drift of leg
islation since the bureau was estab.
lished. has been to increase the DOW
ers of the Commissioner and make his
Office more independent. In conver-
sation, he seemed positive that when
the matter is fully understood by the
President, it will be decided in his
favor. Secretary Boutwell,, on the
other hand seems to feel very secure
in the position he has taken and in no
hurry to trouble ihe President about
the matter. lie did not go to the
White House yesterday, and will not,
probably, take any pains to defend
himself unless it shall prove neces-
safy. He acts as though he believed
he had done nothing but what his du-
ties as neaII:: Of the department re-
CURED him to do, and has, therefore,
chosen occasion to justify his action
when the time comes. However, he
will probably deny entirely General
Pleasanton's claim as to the indepen-
dcnce of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, and also that there ever has
been legislation tending at all that
way.
Ii is almost the universal opinion
here that matters have now gone so
far that it : is thought by the Presi-
dent, though he might sincerely de-
sire it, a reconciliation will be impOs-
sible. One or the other of the two
officers will surely have to resign.
General Pleasanton's conversation
seems to indicate that if he is not sus-
tanned he will Immediately resign,
and those who know Secretary Bout
well best, positively assert that he will
not remain if the Commissioner
does
