THE GREAT FORGERY.

ST J.oI-TS Mo August G.-Bethel C.
Alexander. charged with forging cotton
warehouse receipts. made a full state
ment of his affairs to-day for the benefit
of the public as well as his creditors he
says the first forged receipts were llade
last December, to prevent suspension OF
failure in business, and that none nave
been issued since April. The whole
amount of spurious receipts issued can
not be ascertained, for it appears that
he made new ones TO take up OLD ones
as the sums he raised on them became
due. In the mean time he used genuine
receipts in the usual way, and III July ne
held nearly four thousand bales OF COT
ton. out of the proceeds OF when ne IN
tended to take up the forged certlncates-
The proceeds of cotton sold Phelps
Bros. s Co. would have reduced the
bad receipts one-half The total amount
of forged receipts now out, he says, Is
s167. 900, distributed as follows: Bank
of the West, S42. 900; German Savings,
So. 900; Mechanics, $50, 600; Fourth Ma
tioual. S10. 900; Third National, $40, OOo'
Fusz & Booker, commission house, Slz,
900: Hon. Erastus Wells, S14, 600 His
assets. he asserts, are worth S2SO, OOOi
liabilities 1913, 600. He refers to the
fact that all the money raised on bogus
receipts was put into his business, in
stead of being spirited away, as evidence
that he did not intend really to defraud
any one. He acquits his partners of the
blame entirely, saying, they knew moth
ing whatever of his fraudulent transac-
tions He is still in prison and will
probably remain there until it is deci-
ded what action shall be taken in the
matter. His creditors held a meeting
this evening TO discuss what should be
done in the premises, but the result has
not yet transpired. Alexander offers 10
assist in the settlement of the affairs of
the firm, and says he can do it at a
great saving to the creditors. He says
he paid young Sheppard 81, 900 for max
ing the forged signatures.

From the Picayune.I
SEVENTY YEARS AGO.

About seventy years ago there lived in
this country a very great man. His
name was Alexander Hamilton. He had
been distinguished officer of the revO-
luton, and a trusted friend and coun-
sellor of the illustriOus Washington. On
the organization of the Government,
Hamilton became a leader of a great po-
Iitical party, and was appointed the first
Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States. He was the ablest man who ever
filled that Office. As party leader at
time of fierce political eXcitements, Mr..
Hamilton was the shining mark of
many bitter assaults. His own party
was not slow or moderate in its counter
attacks. Mr.. jefferson was the target
of the Federal or Hamiltonian diatribes
His private life, too, was overhauled,
and his every act distorted into some
thing criminal or immoral. There were
no limits to this sort of abuse on both
sides. At last the JeffersonianS lighted
upon a precious piece of scandal against
Mr.. Hamilton which did not even need
colOring or exaggeration to render it ex-
cessively distasteful to his fiendS and
damaging to his reputation.
The story ran thus: A buXOm and
attractive woman had visited the young
and susceptible Secretary of the Treas
ury, and under preteXt of seeking some
favor OF him, had captivated and Sc
duced him from the paths of duty and
morality. An amour of n somewhat
extended and complicated character
sprung out of the affair, which had gone
far enough, however, to expose the
character of the woman as an adventu-
ress and blackmailer of the most avari-
cious nature. Finally n convenient hus-
band was introduced into the drama, an
illiterate and vulgar fellow, who at
tempted the panel game on the great
Secretary. Nothing but an Office in the
Treasury or $50, 600 i'll cash would solace
the wounds upon his honor and connubi-
al felicity which We're inflicted by Hamil-
ton.
That great man resisted and defied
the arts and opportunities of both the
woman and her suppositiOus husband.
Thereupon they sold their valuable scam
dal to the enemies of Mr. Hamilton, who
were not slow in laying the whole affair
before the world The friends of Ham
ilton denied the story at first, but were
quickly silenced by the amazing courage
and honesty of his answer.
tAhehb AiN W
from the path of duty, and had grievi-
ously sinned as a father and husband,
under tie wiles and seducing arts of a
voluptuous woman, he Indignantly re-
PEELED all aspersions upon his honor as
public official and gentleman. For his
sin, of which he had deeply repented, he
asked the indulgence of his fellOw-citi-
zens, but if he had permitted himself to
be misled by any arts or influence to a
betrayal of the high trust contided to
him, he should feel that he had no right
TO ask their forgiveness or indulgence.
1t is a curious fact in our political and
social history that Mr.. Hamilton's manly
answer completely disarmed the public
censure, and he continued until his un-
happy death the idol of his party, and
the most admired and respected political
chieftain of the era

out, and, after addressing the finely
dressed madam in the carriage, was
asked if she might see her husband, who
was a convict under his charge. He re
piled that if she was the wife of any man
in the prison she of course could see him.
She alighted and went into the office
Meanwhile the man whose name she
gave was sent for. Before he came the
woman privately told the warden that
she had n bill of divorce from her hus-
band, and it might be that he would
not dare to see her, and she wanted to
be advised on that point before he
should come in Accordingly the war
den met the husband in the guard room
and said to him that his divorced wife
was in the office and desired to see him
if he was willing. He said he had no
objection to seeing her. He went into
the Office, where she met him with n
welcome hand and caress which were
both very eoolly received. During the
conversation that ensued she asked him
if he intended coming home when his
time was out, and told him that his
father had said that he would establish
him in business if he would behave him
self. He indifferently replied that he
didn't know or care much where he
went to. Her interest in his behalf was
not very warmly reciprocated, and she
finally remarked that she would have to
be going. As they parted she offered
another caress, which lie accepted,
seemingly only as a matter of pOliteness.
After he had gone back to work she told
the captain of the guard to tell him that
if he would be a good man until his time
was out and come home. she would
again join him in the bands of wedlOck
