Frauds In the Treasury-Speculations and
Peculations-A $50, 900 Defalcation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. For two or three
days an investigation has been going on at
the Treasury Department, into the affairs
of Mr.. F. A. Marden, chief of the division
of accounts of the Treasurer's office, evil
dcnces having presented themselves of seri-
GUS Irregularities in his official conduct.
A careful examination proved that for
some time past there have been abstrac-
tons of public funds committed to Marden
as disbursing officer, the total amount of
which will reach sum in excess of $12,-
900. 1t is charged that his pay rolls show
that he paid out about that amount less
than the amount drawn by him. After
full consideration by the solicitor and other
officers of the department twas considered
proper to arrest Marden, and he was accord
ingly yesterday evening taken before Judge
Smell, of the police court, and being unable
to procure bail was committed to Jail.
Marden, who is o Massachusetts man,
has been for the past nine years in the de-
partment, and possessed the unlimited
confidence of all his associates. A feeling
of intense sorrow pervades the entire bu-
reau on account of his guilty violation of
this confidence. The pecuniary loss falls
upon Treasurer Spinner, for whom there
are expressions of very great sympathy.
The investigation of the case to-day has
developed other frauds of heavy sums of
money, and the books show that by means
of distractions, at different periods within
about two years, an amount of over $780,
900 has been stolen from the government
in the cash-room Of the Treasury, the
offenders being Marden, whose theft has
already been alluded to, and Seth John
son, interest teller. The discovery of Mar
denis guilt led the way to the discovery OF
Johnson's crime. The latter, it is said,
has been dealing in gold and stock specula-
tons, and has been losing for sometime.
There does not seem to have been any
collision between the two, and it appears
that neither knew of the crime of the other.
Both were discharged from the department
to-day. johnson has been for about eight
years in the treasurer's office, and was
highly esteemed by all his associates. II
is noticed that johnson has been rather
respondent for some time past, but not un.
ill Monday last was it discovered that hi
was implicated in frauds upon the govern
ment. .-.aF
The whole affair is now in the hands o
the officers of the law. johnson is sick il
bed, having been utterly Frustrated wher
he learned that his guilt had been dis
covered. He states that it had weighed
upon his mind, and that he had decided tc
confess his crime.
Both Marden and johnson are very re
specially connected. Marden is abou
forty-fiye years Of age, and has wife ant
two children, all in very delicate health
johnson is married, but has no children
General Spinner, whose confidence in boil
has been without limit, is very much effect
ed at the occurrence of their guilt.

The Defnulting Collectors,

A further explanation has been given
by the Secretary of the Treasury in re.
gard to the defaulting revenue Collect
ors of Pennsylvania, which sustains
the declarations of the latter that " the
balances against them consist of tax
lists charged to them but turned over
to their successors in office" The Sec
retary further says:
"Under the existing law the account
ing officers cannot credit an outgoing
Collector with lists so turned over, un-
less the Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue shall certify that such outgoing
Collector has used due diligence. In the
absence of such certificate the account
ing officers cannot credit Collectors with
taxes turned over to their successors,
and in almost every case a Collector
must appear to be in arrears, though
nothing be due from him, until the re-
quired certificates shall have been sup.

More Radical Robbery /!

One of Gov. GEARY's State agents to
collect war claims from the Federal
government, who was appointed on the
recommendation of the Union League
of Philadelphia, is now alledged to be a
defaulter to the amount of three hundred
and sirty thousand dollars! The League
spent money enormously in elections,
and at least portion of this sum has
no doubt gone in that direction. To rob
the people of means to cheat the people
seems to have been secret plank in the
Radical platform. The desperate gang
of gamblers in politics who head the
Radical party, deem the public treasury
q legitimate object of prey.
