Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
Gov. BuIIOck's Resignation.
Private advices here to-day to high Offici-
ais are to the effect that Gov. Bullock's re-
sgnatiOn of the Governorship of Georgia is
regarded as a sharp trick to escape the pend
ing impeachment, and also criminal prose-
cutions which the Attorney-General of the
State was about to institute. 1t is stated
here, however, that warrants will shortly be
issued for Bullock arrest. He will be taken
back to Georgia for trial on numerous
charges growing out of his transactions
Willie occupying the gubernatorial chair. 1t
is believed, according to the present adviceS,
that Bullock has realized nearly million
dollars through his operations in Georgia
bonds and manipulatiOnS of the State Rail
road funds. Bullock left this city for New
York ON Monday, and il is suggested that
he is making arrangements to leave the
country. He visited this city to confer
with Secretary Delano and Senator Gamer
on in regard to their lease of the State Rail
road.
Butler, of Tennessee, the Alleged PEN
sion FOrger.
United States District Attorney Camp, of
East Tennessee, arrived too late to prevent
his removal. 1t appears that the President
suspended him some days ago, upon repre-
sentation of Republican Congressman of
Tennessee. 1t now appears that the chief
worker against him was Roderick X. But
lSr, who has been pursuing him for the
part he took wear ago in collecting evi-
dence in Buffers pension frauds. District
Attorney Fisher, who prosecuted Butler
here, now says that he only escaped con-
victiOn by perjsry of witnesses, and forged
papers used as evidence.
A TriHing Accommodation.
In connection with the Stokes irregulari-
v
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of the
Washington City government, kindly con-
sented, at the request of his friend Stokes,
to attach his notarial seal to those papers
which the Department of Justice now
charges are fraudulent throughout.
Special to the Louisville Ledger.
Bullock,
This individual is now supposed to be in
New \ ork, making arrangements to leave
the country. 1t is estimated that Bullock
has realized about million dollars from his
Georgia operations. His visit to this city
was 10 confer with Secretary DelanO and
Senator Cameron relative to the late lease
of the State railroad.
stokes 'SuecessOr-His Friend I'm Need.
The President to-day appointed one En-
cry successor to Stokes as Collector of the
Tennessee revenue district. Stokes.
however, is not altogether without
friends. Horace Maynard has written a
long letter here advising the "Bald Eagle"
that he will stand by him and defend him
10 the best of his ability. One of the stat
utes which Stokes has clearly violated is
that Of 1858, which prescribes that any
member of Congress who shall receive, or
agree to receive, any bribe, present, or COM
