The ROAD TO RUN.-The gross city debt
on the 30th of June was nearly one hundred
and fifty-eight million dollars. Since January
1 the Comptroller has taken for investment
on account of the sinking fund, one million
six hundred thousand dollars of newly issued
city bonds, one-half bearing six per cent and
one-half (revenue bonds) bearing five per
cent interest. This interest comes back to
the city. In the same time he has issued one
million six hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars consolidated stock, which he has marketed
to private individuals and banks at seven per
cent interest. This interest goes into the
pockets of the moneyed hackers and cham
pions of Comptroller Green. Just prior to
January, 1876, the Comptroller had issued
and marketed to the same parties nearly four
millions of State sinking fund deficiency
bonds, bearing the exorbtant interest of
seven per cent while taking investments for
the city sinking fund at five and six per
cent

Ju.tio. According to Twsed.

When Tweed invested half million ont OF
the four or five millions he stole from the
people in lawyers, leeches and blackmailers
he made good movs. There was never
thief in the whole history of crime who has
been so well protected. The money he stole,
and which he should have delivered up to the
custody of the law the moment he was ar.
rested, he has been permitted to keep and de.
vote to his own defence Here are lawyers,
eminent and brilliant, who are giving theI
genius to the service of this monumental rob.
Der and receiving fees out of the money taken
from the treasury. Not only does Tweed defy
the law, but he selects his judges. The other
day he declined to go before certain judge
because the judge did not suit him. So that he
not only uses the city taxes to defend himseh
from the just claims of the people, but he ad.
ministers justice in his own behalf.
Tweed has escaped through the prison bars
of one cell, and now, by the aid of Judge Don
ohue, he seems about to escape through the
bars of another Shortly after the exposure
of the Tammany frauds Tweed, by the aid Of
some of his minions, robbed the Comptroller's
Office and destroyed large number of vouch-
ers. These were the forged and altered vouch.
ers upon which Ingersoll, Garvey, Davidson
and others were paid. These bills and vouch.
ers are necessary to establish case against
Tweed. There is legal evidence that they ex.
listed and that Tweed had destroyed them.
Judge Donohue decides that the prosecutors
of Tweed must produce these bills and vouch.
ers before they can make good their case. Az
Tweed has destroyed the vouchers how can
Mr. o. Conor produce them?

A new field Of litigation in connection with
the sale of railroad bonds is opened up by the
proceedings of certain German capitalists who
invested in the securities of the Davenport and
St. Paul Railroad Company. They purchased
through banking firm 10 Frankfort, and, the
company having become almost bankrupt, they
now sue the bankers for damages for obtaining
money under false pretences. The firm alleges
in their defence that the conditions under which
the bonds we're issued seemed to them to rem
der them absolutely safe as an investment, but
at the same time they serve notice upon the
company that if they are mulcted 10 damages
they will hold it responsible, and have suits for
recovery brought against it by their American
agency. There are millions of bonds of Amer
lean railroads on which interest has been de-
faultsd held abroad.

Mr. Charles W. Thompson, of Boston, re-
Gently sent circular letter to Gen. Fitzbugh
Lee. announcing that movement was being
made there among the veteran soldiers and
sailors, having the welfare and honor of our
country wholly and truly at heart, to bring
prominently before the independent voters all
over the land the names of Hon. Nathaniel P.
Banks, of Massachusetts, for President, and
Hon. L. O. G. Lamar, of Mississippi, for Vice
President, in the next coming Presidential
campaign" The circular hopes that the move
ment will meet Gen. Lees approval, and that
he will give the parties engaged in the move
ment bis advice and suggestions. To which
Gen. Lee replies: Il feel it my duty to say,
that should those gentlemen be the nominees
of the National Democratic Convention for the
high Offices you desire them to fill, it will give
me pleasure to vote for them, and to aid in an
humble way to secure their election"

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL,

In financial affairs there is nothing of special
interest to note this week. The receipts of pro-
duce having increased considerably, business
has improved. There has been decline in the
price of Wheat, but there is still good deal of
activity and some speculative feeling. Money
may be quoted easy for legitimate purposes, and
on the street there is less complaint of stringen.
cy. In New York money is quoted without
change. State securities are quiet, Virginias

little doing, and We quote:

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY, AUGUST ID.

MIR. William Welsh, of Philadelphia, has
written an open letter to President Grant in
oorroborstion of the charges which be has
brought against the Interior Department and
the Indian ring Mr.. Welsh was chairman of
the Indian commission formed upon the sug.
gestion of the President, and declares that the
first effort of the commission to secure an hoH-
est purchase of Indian goods Was frustrated by
IN order of the President made at the recon-
mendstion of the Secretary of tue Interior. At
tho instance Of the secretary also Mr. Vincent
Colyer was removed from a position in which
he had 'ferreted out the fraudulent practices
that the secretary seemed unwilling to check ="
Mr.. Welsh further states that Secretary De-
lsno paid $500, 1000, the vouchers for which the
commission rejected because the frauds with
the connivance of the Interior Department be-
came so apparent" and when the commission
obtained iodisputable evidence of the propriety
Of their proceeding, "Mr. Delano united with
General Cowan, the Assistant Secretary of the
Interior, to destroy the force of this truthful
testimony by maligning the character of Mr..
Samuel Walker, the clerk of the commission,
and demanding his removal. MIR. Welsh
makes vigorous defence of Walker, and de-
clsres that Delano and Cowan combined and
concocted libel upon Walker, as to his al
legged habits of intemperanee, because be ex-
posed the frauds which it was the duty of the
department to check. Finally, MIR. Welsh
charges the secretary with making willfully
false report to the President in reference to the
amount of stock subscribed to the Northern
Pacific railroad, and, as if this were not enough,
threatens to publish further statements of even
more Objectionable acts; and concludes -
Livery suggestion l ever made to you was
promptly responded to, save only the investi
CATION of frauds allowed by your appointees.
Even this lamentable trait I believe springs
from distorted virtue Your protection of
General Parker, when he was convicted of mis-
teasance or malfeassnce as commissioner of In
dian affairs, and of those who now control that
Office, seems wholly unaocountable, except on
the hypothesis that love in you is blind. 1t may
seem strange to others that should have writ
ten this open letter, but necessity was laid
upon me to write, and I could not, with proper
respect to myself, address you in any other
way, as you have in every instance closed your
mind to evidence that must have convinced
any other man"
