Washington special says; There has
long been q wsll-ssttlsd conviction that
in the matter Of the sale and secountA-
bility Of captured and abandoned prop
srty In the South In consequences Of the
war and acts Of Congress. uonstrous
frauds have been committed; and the
House Committee on Expenditures In
the Treasury Department endcavorsd 10
and out the facts. During the past few
days inquiry has developed facts OF the
most astounding character. bat msmbers
Of the committee are pledged to sscrssy.
They hold sessions with closed doors
and are very rctlcent. Enough Is known,
however, to warrant the statement that
there Is n deficit OF several millions be-
tween the accounts OF sales Of property
In the South and captured and the
return Of money from such sales.
In the matter Of cotton. the difference 10
very great. The accounts Of Simon
Draper, Of New York. who was the cot.
ton agent Of the Government. are re-
ceivipg particular attention; but It Ia
discovered that many Of the books and
papers kept by him. which were sup
posed to be In tho Treasury Department,
are missing. Some attorneys who as
sisted the Government In it, suits against
the captured and abandoned property
have been examined. When their tssti-
mony 10 mads public 1t will contain 70
markabls disclosures. The use OF Large
sums Of money arising from sales Of
property Of this character by the late
arm Of Jay Cooke & Co. Is slso rsceiv'
ing tho attention Of the committee.

The report Of Special Agent Phillips
on The misconduct Of the treasury aud
revenue officials In California. and tbs
INDUSTRIOUS fraudF committed on the
revenue In that State attracts a good
deal Of remark here. especially because
Phillips very plainly hinted that some
Senators and Republicans from caliior'
mia, and especially Sargent have en-
couragsd these frauds, aud stand behind
the corrupt officials whom Phillips eI'
poses. HIS charges directly. that Bar

ordered the seizure Of . distillsry ownsi
by q political alloy Of Sargent. II hs'
long been known here that rsvsnu a.
fairs were In q very d~isorderly condition
in CIifosnia. and II has been noticed
that, az Phillips states, the revenue OF

United states Senators, which makes re
form very difficult.
