waddy's Little Operations.

Memphis Special 10 the Cincinnati Commercial.
The Waddy Thompson case eXcites much
interest here, where for fifteen years past
his operations in dollars and cents have
been colossal, and where he is regarded as
one of the sharpest tricksters of the age.
Some of his exploits have been well venti-
lated-others have never seen the light
through the public prints. He dealt largely
in Southern cotton during the war, and also,
it is said in articles cOntraband of war. He
figured with Parhman, Brooks * Co. and
others in connection with claims against
the Government. At one time, five or six
years since, he received So, 900 from the
National Treasury on one of these claims.
He was mixed up in the burning of a YES
sci at or near New Orleans, purpOrting to
be loaded with cotton, but which, it after
wards turned out, had a cargo of Louisiana
moss and cotton seed. both comparatively
valueless. A suit for insurance on the car
90 was successfully resisted. 1t is conceded
that ho is a shrewd and expert gstherer of
needed testimony. Vast sums of the money
he mas made was long gagOcOnsumed inteeing
ATTORNEYS and managing the laws intrica-
