OLD TREASURY FRAUDS.
A Startling Story Of Corruption.

81. LOUIS, April 23.
The Times today publishes a statement
made by Sergt. George Premier, in charge
of the signal service station here, regard
ing the alleged frauds in the treasury de-
partment. Prender has gone TO Washing
ton to testify before the treasury expendi-
lures committee. His story IL in effect
that he was public debt statement clerk in
the treasury department under Secretary
NcCulloch, and while SO engaged he dis
covered great frauds being practiced upon
tho government that each public debt
statement reported money in the treasury
that was not on hand, while the govern
ment was paying 3 per cent for money to
of Thousands of dollars of government
| money was placed in the hands of confed-
crates outside the department who loaned
II back to the government as individual
funds and drew interest on it,
Prendcr was informed by clerk In the
redemption bureau named Richardson, that
Immense frauds were being perpetrated in
that bureau, and that fortunes were being
made by reported money destroyca which
was preserved that only half of the
money turned in tor destruction was act
TALLY destroyed, the other half being di-
vided among the perpetrators Of fraud.
Prender reported these facts to Gen. Spin
ner, then treasurer, but the latter declined
an investigation of them, saying, he did
not believe frauds were being prscticed.
In March, 1860, the congress canal re-
trenchment committee was examining the
alleged frauds in the treasury printing de-
pariment. Prender went TO Mr. Edmunds,
chairman Of the committee, laid all the
facts before him, and asked an investiga-
ton. Mr.. Edmunds replied that the time
of the committee was too short to warrant
an extended examination, and nothing was
done after Boutwell, became secretary Of
the treasury.
Prender, who then had retired from the
treasury department, informed him Of the
discoveries he had made, while the clerk in
the department and the secretary promised
to investigate the matter. Shortly after
man named Fox, who bad also been a clerk
in the redemption bureau, called on Prem
der. stated that he had been appointed a
detective by Boutwell, to work up these
grounds and wanted all the papers and ev-
idcnce he had in his possession. Prender
declined to give them up except on an
order from Boutwell, Fox returned with
a letter from the secretary asking for the
documents and Prender gave them to Fox
in the presence of witness, who knew
their character, and who is now in Wash
ington. In the meantime Richardson had
retired from the redemption bureau and To-
Gated at Albany, N. Y. Fox visited him
and soon aflerward Richardson, although
democrat, was appointed assistant post
master at Albany, and no investiga ton of
the frauds was ever made.

Counterfeit Fractional Currency

intended to apply to the old issue, particu-
larly the denominations of twenty-five and
fifty cents. The issue of fifty cent stamps,
bearing the heads Of Lincoln, Spinner,
Robert J. Walker, Warrington and Stan

due care should be taken in accepting them.

been discovered of the latest Issues of flfty
