nate all further negotiation on the part of
this government.
The case of William d. Bumsted, Of
Jersey City, millionaire, who was sentenced
Monday to nine months in the Penitentiary
tor stealing money from Jersey City in q
real estate transaction, he being a member
of the Board of Public Works, excites
great attention in New York. Bumsted
had just returned from the Philsdelphia
Convention, and evidently thought it impos.
sible for . person OF his wealth TO fail to
evade punishment by some means. While
the sentence was being delivered, the 81
lence with which the almost breathless aud
itors listened vas only broken by low sobs
from the prisoners father. Every possible
effort to influence the Court was made last
week by personal friends. Judges were Wis
tied by prominent men of both political
parties, but without avail, and the sentence
is universally y considered q Just one. Bum.
stsd has since the Sd of April. 1871, been
the real head Of the Board of public Works
in Jersey City, which has authorized the
heavy expenditure which has caused an
enormous increase of the debt under which
the city now struggles. Prior to that date
the expenses of the City Government had
rarely exceeded $1,000, 900 annually but,
upon the accession Of Bumsted, an era of
wild expenditure was commenced. which
has brought the city to the verge Of bank
ruptcy, go that the banks refused several
times to pay the TreAsurer's warrants. In
the hrst nine months the Board of Public
Works spent $l,775, 900, exclusive of the
payment Of money on contracts made by
the former government.

THE LITTLE ROCK FORGERs.
Examination Of Murphy-MOre Arrests
Soon Expected.

Prom the Arkansas state Journal OF Friday.
The examination in the case Of 10.
hansen was concluded Yesterday after.
noon, and his bail fixed at ten thousand
dollars. Being no more successful thar
Krull ia procuring that amount, he was
remanded to jail, and to the tender mer-
cies of Sheriff Oliver.
e. S. Murphy, another of the q~uaTtette
of s~erip-raisers sin durance VILE" wa
brought before Justice Pears this morn
ing, and his examination opened. The
following witnesses had given their tes-
timony when the court adjourned al
noon; J. S. Duffie, Judge Triplett, j. G.
Morris, Dr.. Weeks, Sam Garrett, j.
Fisher. There was q great deal of ques-
tiOning, arguing and Directing INDUCED
in by the lawyers; but nothing specially
important OF new, beyond what was al
ready deducted, was brought forth by
the testimony. That Murphy gave the
scrip to Krull and Johannsen, he, him
self, admits, but whether he is more
guilty or innocent than they, it is not
for 5 now to say. His examination was
continued this afternoon.

three others who, il is very likely, will
soon be arrested as partners of Timm0ns

Of their completely in the scheme to de
fraud citizens and the State, it is time 4
writ for their seizure was issued.
As the trial progresses, and as new
threads in the net that surrounds the
forgers are being seized by the counsel
for the State, some more individuals, APP
parently very UncOncerned until now,
begin TO look anxious and manifest deep
er Interest. They begin to realize the
truth hat "the best laid plans of mice
and men aft gang aglee," and
that if something is not dOEe by their
masters and hackers, they, too, will have
time for contemplation and repentance
in Hotel d'Oliver, while their examine
ton IS going on. But being good min
~strels, they can, when convicted, have
this consolation, that their presence in
the penitentiary viii be a good excuse
for Superintendent Scott to ask a. extra
fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars for the better control of that
institution, which, under his direction,
has proved such an enormous and unjus-
tifiable drain on the treasury, and out
rageous expense TO the State.
