MORE ABOUT THE New YORK DEFAULTER.-
Some particulars of the antecedents of MrI
Phelps have been obtained from Specia
Agent B. G. Jaynes of the Treasury depart
ment, by the New York Times 1t appears
that he was formerly wegher in the CUSTOM
house, and was appointed to that position on
the recommendation of Senator Rueben E. Fem
ton. While holding this Office his corrupt
practices led to his arrest upon two separate
and distinct charges. The first charge was for
making laborers pay for obtaining work in his
department. Upon these charges Commission
err White discharged him in 1870. After he
was dismissed, Judge Noah Davis who was
then United. States District Attorney, exam
ined the testimony and affidavits made by the
employees and laid the matter before the col
lector. In the report submitted Mr.. Davis
stated that although Mr.. Phelps had been dis
charged by the United States Commissioner,
the evidence left no doubt of his guilt upon
this charge The other charge was of pre-
cisely similar character. This charge was fully
proved, and though there appeared to be no
United States statue .under which he could be
punished. it was amply sufficient to show that
he was unit to hold the position any longer.
1t was especially on the report of this matter
that he was removed by Mr.. Murphy. On his
-
ester, who owned Raines had him appointed
cashier in the State treasurers office. For a
long time he kept an advertisement in a morn
ing paper announcing for sale positions in his
office. II was IN this way he was caught. Men
were sent to answer the advertisements and he
actually offered positions to laborers for a fee
of $500. Up to a year ago he was playing this
confidence game. The Patterson Investigating
committee did good deal in backing him up
and procuring men to swear all manner of
things against the custem-house department
There are several affidavits in Collector Ar
thurs possession made by men who.were work
ing in the weigh-office tending to criminate
him.
During the rebellion he was connected with
the Southern Express Company and remained
outside the Union lines up to the close of the
war. He was originally from Rochester, and is
a relative of Brown of that p'ace.-the man
who labored at Elmira to get the liberals to in
dorse the entire Democratic ticket 1t is fact
that the State treasurer permitted Phelps to
