FRAUDULENT WAR CLAIMS.

ST. LOUIS NO., June Z, 1875
1t will be recoilected that It was announced
some weeks since, the authority OF SPECIAL
dispatches nom Jefferson City TO the then Globe
that great fraud IN war claims was being per-
petrated upon this state and the United States
The whole matter has now assumed definite and
Official shape, and Adjutant General George c.
Bingham win to-day lay before the Constitutional
Convention, in response 10 resolution adopted
by that BODY, report OF his investigation OF the
AFFAIR.
A special despatch 10 the Globe Democrat SAYS -
The report OF Adjutant General Bingham shows
that war claims certificates have been audited
and issued to tue amount OF s1l3,o0o for military
services alleged TO have been rendered by the
seventeenth regiment OF enrolled militia organIz-
ed in ST. Louis, although that regiment was never
In active service, ana according 10 the roll filed
In the AdJutant Generals ONCE, was never en-
titled TO any paw whatever anu thaC these certl.
ncafes were issued against the rules and Te1ula-
tlons OF the pay department, and IN violation OF
the laws relating TO war CLAIMS; that the stub books
from which the certificates issued on account OF
TINS regiment were taken have disappeared rom
the Adjutant Generals ONCE; that duplicate
copies ot the muster and pay rolls OF fns regiment
were fabricated as vouchers Tor the fraudulent
claims en- which the issue OF these certificates was
based.
General Bingham's investigation has onry ex-
tended as yet TO the seventeenth regiment, but
ne adds TO MS report that the amount Of war
claims audited and allowed and the certificates
OF Indebtedness issued therefor by the PaYmasier
General rs sl4l4,325. while the amount due TO the
enrolled militia for services during the war, as
appeared on he record OF unpaid claims, is only
1906 500, leaving balance of over $i0OOOg0 wnlcn
seems TO be fraudulent. The despatch furtner
states that Ex-Governor WoOdson Is expected in
Jefferson CITY lew days to assist In n further
exposure oil TINS alleged swlndle. Ii Is also stated
that great efforts have been made 10 hush this
matter mp ana that various Inducements nave
been offered General Bingham by interested par
