WHAT AN OLD LETTER BOOK REVEALS
The New York Times published yesterday
certain letters and memoranda, and says
eOltOrlally: 1.-The story which these appear
TO tell is brief but suggestive. First, IL seems
that on August 3, 1872, the firm of George A.
Cowles s. Co, of Philadelphia. maze an
agreement with George Mcclellan 10 paw
him per cent on al sums received from the
war department for the preservation OF
army clOthiDg, etc, from moths and mildew
by the process OF the firm in question. Sec
ond, that on November 20, 1872, George w.
Breea, OF the firm OF George A. COwles Il
Co., authorized General X. b. Marcy to hand
General Mcclellan an agreement whereby
the commission OF per cent. was doubled,
aud whereby Gen. Mcclellan was enabled to
claim 10 per cent. on all payments made
through the War department for the use OF
the moth exterminator. Third, that bet ween
May q and September 8, 1873, four checks of
which the numbers, dates, and amounts are
given were paid by George n. Cowles x Co.,
through the Girard National Bank, OF Phfla-
delphia, TO George B. Mcclellan, in pursu-
ance OF the last mentioned agreement. The
total amount OF these checks was Al SIS.
These facts form but small portion of the
case against General Mcclellan; but they
their apparent significance be the true one,
they are quite sufficient for conviction. We
have taken some pains to discover whether
any satisfactory explanations can be offered
transactions. Mr.. Cowles admits the pay
ment OF the checks and, inferentially, the
existence OF the agreements. But in spite of
the wording OF the agreements, Mr.. Cowles
states that the clerks were paid in return for
certain services rendered by General Nc
CIellan In recommending the use of the moth
exterminator to the Prussian and other for
made 10 AM 1ns

mitted that no practical result came OF his
efforts TO introduce the exterminator to for

The man James Leroy, of whom the
Times obtained the information upon
which their outrageous charge against
Gov. Hayes was based last Saturday. used
to live in this county. He has the reputa-
ton Of being a most worthless scamp. He
decamped from here for parts unknown
in 1851, leaving debts amounting in all
to about 81 900 unpaid behind him. His
record while here was Of the worst kind.
In June, 1860, he suppressed testimony in
a chancery suit of James S. Houghton
against the Western Union Railroad Com
pany, and sold ont to the defendants for
sos acres of land while the plaintiff lie
roy's CLIENT was out of town, and obtained
a decree of court for So, 105.45 against
plaintiff. He is also charged with many
graver crimes. The article of the Times
has given clue to his whereabouts, and
his old creditors of 1861 are hunting up
their bills, which have a new interest,
