To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD -

To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD -
SIR-All0w me 10 correct an error OF the Paris
journals, which perceive found its way into tba
HERALD OF Saturday. Ny drama, "The Long
Strike" now In rehearsal at the Ambigu ComiqUe
Theatre, under the title OF ia Greve," was not
emasculated by the French government In
translating the piece for the French stage omitted
all the political parts; therefore the dculty stated
to have arisen could not have done so.
A similar report was circulated concerning n
song OF mine, called ''The Wearing OF the Green.a
II was stated that the English government problb-
tied this song during the late Fenian rising. This
is not true. ! sang IL every night in ''Arrah Da
Pogue.v No notice whatever was taken Of II by
the English government
BY the way, / fnd that three OF my dramas are in
preparation at three different theatres in Paris
'.The Long Strike" Hunted Down. and Flying
Scud." Half dozen others are stock pieces on
the French stage. May be permitted TO ask IL =
am, as many lively American journals alege, Only
an adapter OF French dramas How comes IL that

BANK SWINDLERS.
Futile Attempts Of the Bank swindling Gang
to Rob the First National Bank of Memphis
MEMPHIS, Dec. 10, 1872,

MEMPHIS, Dec. 10, 1872
Several weeks ago F. s. Davis President OF the
First National Bank, Memphis, received from a
printing and engraving house in Philadelphia a
letter, with bill enclosed purportng to be for let.
ter heads and draft blanks furnished said bank.
AS no such work had been ordered or received by
the bank, and thinking probably the letter was In.
tended for F. 5. Davis banker OF Boston, Mr..
Davis returned letter and bill with explanation,
ana thought no more Of the matter. Several days
after the First National Bank received from ].
Mihken q Co., bankers, OF Decatur, H..
o note for $4,000, signed by F. II. Clark h Co.,
and payable to the order of T. H. Allen 4 Co., both
OF this city. to be collected On presentation ol
the note to these parties 1t was declared forgery
and was as before, returned To-day letter was
received from Mkn & Co. by the First National
to have been drawn by the latter on the Park
National Bank and which, 1t appears, party rep
resentng himself to be q. J. Moore, very res
spectacle workingman of abont fifty years, had
presented with letter pnrporting to be from w.
w. Hatcher, Cashier First National Bank OF Men,
phis, in which 1t was stated that on payment Of
draft
MOORE WOULD SURRENDER A COLLATERAL
note for $4,000, the same as described above.
well as the note, are forgeres. This explains the
letter from Pniladelph!a, with bill Tor printing
il from a common woodcut, whereas genuine
drafts OF the First National Bank are engraved by
the American Bank Note Company, and
Thatcher, instead OF Thacher. The letter
is also poorly executed, and there was tho
same error in the name, besides which Daviss
s., as in the genuine.
Another forged draft, calling for $500, that had
been received and bears evidences of having come
from the same source. II is likely that others are
ahoat and there 10 no doubt that Moore, whoever
ne may be, is the party who got the printing done
in Philadelphia.

that upwards OF one hundred tbousapa cigars had
been smcQgled into Montvil)e, and subsequently
sold to parties In Newport. Suspicion pointed to
the Pioneer, and the officers stated it as their be-
lief that the sad cigars had been brought in under
the cargo OF this vessel, and. moreover, that the
unlawful trade had been practiccd for more than
year previously
IL was alleged that these cigars we're landed AZ
night and duly transported to purchasers by the
parties chiefly interested. The O1lcers after hsy-
