order of tho Secretary Of the Treasury
Captain Craig and q. ". Bryant OF
Missouri were arrested here yesterday
on a charge of q conspiracy to delraud

loss of train while transporting gov
eminent freight between Lesvenworth
and Fort Yuba 1t is stated by parties in
interest that this claim had been under
investigation for the last ten years
and was passed by different
departments without n Suspicion of fraud,
payment being delayed IN consequence
or v OF supposed want Of jurisdiction.
In December last, however, tnst question

The Monroe county Regi'ter says that
oil the criminals who have been convicted
on account OF crooked whisky are simply
democratic einssaries in the confidence
and employ of the Government Now
that remark is entitled 20 credit for orig

possibly have COZ ceived it, unless he
was genius. But since that was the
case, please inform us how much
money the Democra paid JOYCE,

1t certainly is economizing to some
purpose when the pay Of Major or
Colonel Of Engineers suffices TO support
family in Washington and make in
vestments at an average rate of nearly
S25, 900 a year, as Babcock did 10 the four
years beginning May, 1870. These figures
represent only the cost OF bare real es-
tate. When it is further considered that
Babcock built rows of first-class tenement
houses on his real estate, it will be seen
that his investment was nearer an aver
age OF $4,000 or $4,000 than $4,000
In this no account is made of tho Long
Branch property, which is understood 10
be quite valuable.
1t is understood in money circles in
Washington that Babcock is 3 lender,
and transactions of this nature on mort
gage amounting to $4,000 in each in
stance are mentioned. The record shows
nothing, however, Of this, as the loans
are made through trustee. Besides, the
