Explanation of the Davenport Exs
penditures.
Ex-Attorney General Williams, refer
ring to the published statements in rela-
tion to the expenditure of the Secret Ser
vice Fund in New York City, says John
|: Davenport, Chief Supervisor Of Eleo-
tions in the city Of New York, was en-
gagged in making a perfect registration
OF voters in that city. He exhibited his
work to the President and explained to
him its object and effects, and the Presi-
dent was satisfied that II compile ted it
would enable those in charge Of the cleo
tions TO prevent false registration and
fraudulent voting.
This work was OF course very expens-
i've, and as the expenses of preventing
frauds at elections for Representatives
In Congress are devolved by law upon
the Department Of Justice In cities con-
taining more than twenty thousand in-
habitanus, the President requested the
Attorney General to give Mr.. Daven-
port some pecuniary assistance In the
prosecution of his work. The money
was advanced from time to time as was
needed Tor this and no other purpose.
The act of 1871, commonly called the en-
iorcement act, provides for the registra-
tion OF votes by the Supervisors OF Elec-
tions.
The whole amount given Mr.. Daven-
port for this purpose was S35 900 in tour
years. Mr.. Williams says the act of
Congress providing for the supervision
cost the Department of Justice in 1872
from $500, 900 to $500, 900, and in 1874 about
$2OO,000. The expenditure through Dav-
enport was for the sole purpose of pre-
venting frauds at elections, and carry
ing into effect legislation of Congress
passed for that purpose.
The President, in conversation to-day
on the disbursement by Davenport and
| the purpose for which it was made,
stated the case substantially as by Gen.
Wilnams. The President also stated
| that he was more than willing that all of
his official acts should be thoroughly In
vestigated. He would stand by them.
He was confident he had never in any
single instance infringed the law. Ali
he asked was for truth with regard TO his
official acts-he was sure to be Vindicated

AMERICAN LEATHER.-The New York
Shipping List gives the following incl
dents in connection with the American
leather trade with England:
"One of The partners in Boston house
took over, some four years ago, samples
of buff and grain leather, but could not
prevail on the English manufacturers TO-
cut it; they stuck to their gnu and quag-
ga and Kangaroo and horse hide upper
leather with u tenacity worthy OF bet
ter cause, but still characteristic OF En-
glishmen, to whom change or innovation
Is unweIcome. But the Yankee is pro-
verbally persistent. Our curriers' kept
buying little lots Of English upper stock,
getting it over here and initiating Its
trim and finish, and decided demand
began to spring up, and, to tell the truth,
our English neighbors have, during the
past winter, bought largely of our upper
leather without knowing it,"
In this connection a curious fact came
under our notice recently. A Massa-
chusetts leather currier, desirous OF
shipping some upper stock to Europe, in
the present dull state Of the market
here, wrole to an English manufacturer
TO send him roll OF such leather as was
selling most readily, TO tan and finish
some like it. In due time roll was
received and a letter stating that such
leather as the sample was wanted, and
would sell very readily in England. The
bundle being opened, the merchant saw
before him Il dozen sides of his own pro-
duction. 1t had been sold to shipping
house and by them sent to Europe. AS
the price which could be realized for
such stock was two or three cents u foot
more than 1t would bring here,it is need
| less 70 say that an invoice was sent over
without delay. There is now very little
doubt tHat our upper leather, both light
and heavy, will 20 over to Europe as reg.
ulariy as sole leather does, and be as
generally used In making boots and
SHOES.
