port the heaviest business OF any year since
the war, the Increase in sales being estimated
at from twenty-five to thirty per cent over
1871. One prominent cause of this prosperity
ia the large Increase in the number of SAW
mills throughout the State caused by the de-
msnd for lumber, ties, &C., for building and
railroads, and the comparative depletion OF
the Northern forests. A large and Increasing
demand for engines, pumps, wagons, &C.,
has also been caused by the transfer OF the
production of naval stores 10 South Carolina,

THOS. G. BOYD.
More of his ViIIainy Exposed.

George w. Ross, special agent of the
Pension Bureau, has recently been investi-
eating a number of cases, where pensions
had been procured by the notorious Thos.
G. Boyd who is now serving a term in the
penitentiary, as the result Of his vilainy.
The Investigations of Mr.. Ross show that
Boyd procured fraudulent pension claims
for Amanda Dyer, alleged widow of Jacob
Dyer, Mary Humphreys, widow of Henry
Humphreys, Sarah Eaton, widow of Har-
rison Eaton, Elizabeth J. Bridges, widow
of Harrison Bridges, Margaret Moore, Wild
ow of George Moore, and Eliza Mooney,
widow of John Mooney. In these cases
Boyd managed to swindle the Government
out of an average of about 81 200 in each
case. The names of the soldiers were per-
haps procured from the Adjutant Generals
Report and the facts manufactured by
Boyd to suit the emergency. In the above
cases, no such persons existed as the wild
ows mentioned. He made them appear as
having from three to five children EACH
The proof was all gotten up by Boyd, who
ed.witnesses' magistrates and attor-
neys' names, as occasion required In 9TH
er cases genuine names were presented
but claims procured by fraud from begin,
ming to end.
III the case of Eliza Mooney, alleged wild
Wv vi JOllI NOOlSJ, lllNSSblSdllOll SlOWS
that no such person existed, John Mooney,
having never been married. Boyd got up
the proof that he was married, using for
that purpose as witnesses, the names of
Sarah Lankfo and Martha j. Landlord,
both fictitious persons. They made their
marks to the application, which are wit
messed by Boyd. His forged application
showed five children for Mooney. The
proof taken upon investigation, shows that
Mooney was only Is years old when
he enlisted in the army, about
two years before his DEATH and
that he was never married. J. II. Kelso,
Esq, appears as attorney to draw these
claims, and letters to the Department sign
ed by him are in BOyd's handwriting, sig
nature and all. Esquire Kelso makes atfi-
davit that his name was used without his
knowledge, and that signatures purporting
to be his were forgeries.
This is q specimen of the cases. Boyd's
cool villainy is without a parallel in this
country, and his confinement in cell in
the penitentiary, made as comfortable as
his, is very slight punishment.
The way these last discoveries were
made, DIR. Boynton, the Pension Agent at
this place, sent out pension certificates to
the fraudulent claimants, which, after
Boyd's death and resurrection, were re-
turned, he not being there to receive them.
They were returned to the Department,
and hence the investigation.
