THE st. Louis Times of the 25th inst.
says editorially: "The withdrawal of
Major Henry Heiss from his late edi-
torial association with this paper has
already been announced, and he left
yesterday evening for Nashville, Tenn,
where he will soon enter upon new
field of duty, as managing editor Of
the UNION AND AMERICAN. The
change had been contemplated for
some time past on the part of Major
Heiss, owing to business considerations
of personal nature that rendered his
departure almost matter Of necessity;
but we think it no trespass upon the
confidence that has so long subsisted
between himself and his associates
upon the Times TO say that the change
was not one that he sought nor under
other circumstances would have pre-
ferred, while 1t was certainly a change
which the publishers regret exceeding
" that any outside interest should have
compelled him to make. He leaves an

tire Office for an uninterrupted career
of similar honorable success IN the

FRAUDS IN WAR CLAIMS.
From The Cincinnati Gazette.


WASHINGTON, March 25.-Representa-
tive R. s. Hale, late agent and counsel for
the United States before the American and
British Mixed Claims Commission, has in
his possession, for use in Congress, re-
markable report made by an agent Of the
Southern Claims Commission, upon the
collection of evidence, and the means used
to establish the large claim awarded by the
mixed commission. This award was TO
person named Macdonald, of Memphis,
and amounted to one hundred and ninety
thousand dollars. This report Of the
agents that evidence of the amount and de-
straction of the cotton was procured by
paving negro witnesses a certain sum cash
for testimony which they gave in support
of the claim. 1t is also charged that the
United States MaTShals were tempered
with, and persons acting in the interest of
the claimants preceded the Marshals in
their search for witnesses for the govern
ment. and succeeded in prevailing upon
some to absent themselves, and upon 9th
ers to give such testimony as was necessary
to establish the claims.
By testimony procured in this way the
mixed commission passed the claim, the
American Commissioner. Mr.. Frazer, re-
fusing to approve it under the treaty. The
claims passed BY the commission are final,
and can not be set aside by either party;
but il is the intention in this case TO repre-
sent to the British Government and the
State Department that the claim was pro
cured wholly by fraud, and to submit that it
is contrary to the law of nations that
claims thus established, though passed upon
in good faith, should be considered as final
by either party.

GOV. Kemper ON the Funding Bill.

RICHMOND, Va, March 27.-Gov. KEN
per to-day sent a message to the Legislature
relative to the State debt, in regard to the
act of March 80, 1871, known as the fund
ing bill. He says however unwise or pre-
cipitate its enactment, it were idle now TO
question its validity. 1t was an act of COM
potent authority. Under it bonds of the
State have been executed and delivered and
We cannot go behind them. Nevertheless
the utmost resources of the State are equal
to the fulfillment of its requirements. He
recommends an arrangement with creditors
of the State for the payment Of two-thirds
interest in cash, with certificates with de-
ferred interest, until the resources of the
State become sufficient Tor payment in full,
and payment be arranged as soon as practi-
cable. The income of the State is adequate
to this much, but no more, without danger
of bankruptcy. He recommends the ap
pOintment of two commissioners to consult
such agent as may be deputcd by creditors
20 this end.

4 great temperance meeting was held
last evening in the Ransom Place Baptist
Church, Brooklyn. A few of the noted

ladies sat Charlie Myers, the converted

president Of the church temperance society
presided, and while he was speaking Dio
Devils entered, and repeated cheers greeted
him.
DR.. Fulton, pastor of the church, said he
thought if the Lord would let him speak
he would go after Rev. Howard Crosbie a
little, but as Dio Lewis had been invited to
open the campaign in Brooklyn, and was
present at the time, he would introduce
him at once. That gentleman said his
only talent was in organizing and manag
ing the campaign, and he should do it with
out respect TO any ones feelings. He then
told the story of the beginning and con-
duct of the movement in Ohio, and pre-
scented the converted Meyers for a speech,
but that person could not make one. He
at least bowed TO the applauding audience.
DiO Lewis called for money 20 aid in the
fight, and headed subscription list with
500, DR.. Cuyler following with another
hundred. No other subscriptions were Of
fered, but the ladies are TO press their claims
privately. DR.. Fulton reported that three

given, he called again on Magruder who
paid him the $4,000, but again asked him
for S. 200, and as he handed him a check
for his $40, 600, suggested that if he felt any
delicacy about giving the 5000 to him, he
might 90 10 Georgetown, the residence Of
the Treasurer, and leave the amount with
Mrs. Magruder.
Witness was closely cross examined
about this alleged transaction, as alsoin re-
lation TO his four and half street contract.
During his examination it transpired that
Cullinare did not perform the work in
four and half street, in any respect in ae-
cordance with the terms of the contract.
When the final settlement was made with
him, $4,000 was retained for the cost of
making his work good; also that on exam
lining his work by order of the Board, evi-
dence was disclosed to justify suspicion OF
collision between Cullinare and the Street
Superintendent, whose duty it was to GER
tify whether the contract had been per-
formed according 10 specification. Col.
James A. Magruder, Treasurer Of the
Board, asked leave to make a statement,
and said in order to make that statement
more positive, he desired 10 be sworn.
MagTuder then said that there was not one
word of truth in the testimony of Cullinare
so far as related to any demand, request or
suggestion made by him to Cullinare for
the payment of money as an inducement
to the settlement of any claim. Such
statement was absolutely and utterly false,
not only in regard to Cullinare, but also to
any a all contractors und r the Board.
He said he never heard the least hint of
this charge now made by Cullinare until
since this Investigation began.
