some Railroad Company TO complete the
work upon such terms as may be agreed
upon; that we expect that company to

THE SECRET sERVICE FUND.
Hew the Peoples Money was Used 70 Elect
Republican Cn nndIdates.

WARRINGTON, July 3O.-The Committee
on Expenditures in the Department Of Justice
will be ready to present their report to tho
House tomorrow or the next day. The part
relating to the use OF the secret service fund for
political purposes In New York city Is vol
luminous. 1t shows conclusively, from tho evil
dence taken In New York. that Little Johnny
Davenport, In endeavortnR to furnish vouchers
for the money OF the secret service fund turned
over to him by order OF the President, used re-
ceiptsd bills which had been paid by
paid by private contributions from poiitl-
clans. The testimony Of Albert CUM Is
quoted to show the loose manner In
which the secret service money was accounted
for by Col. whitley II was quite according to
Cum to pay local politicians out OF II who rem
dered no service TO the Government. In CON
clusion the committee show that the use OF the
secret service money by Government was an H.
legal diversion OF funds from the purposes for
which 1t was Appropriated, and that IN ordering
the money TO be paid over to Davenport, the
President was guilty OF violation of law.
There was an Appropriation In terms to pay
the cost OF all legal proceed ngs attending the
execution OF tho registration law, but this
money could not be drawn In advance OF the rem
diton Of accounts, and hence Davenport wanted
the secret service fund. which Is disbursed on
the order OF the chief OF the secret service di-
vision, and vouchers were not required, W hit
ley's simple receipt being sufficient. This loose
and irresponsible method OF accounting for
public moneys Is severely commented on, and
the President and tho Attorney-G General are
held responsible for a system which has proba-
bly, enabled dishonest men to inappropriate
and apply to their own use tens OF thousands Of
the peoples money.

TO the DefalcatiOn of Fairbanks

T.. T.. Williams the dry goods merchant
OF Elizabeth was arrested by chief OF Police
Heron Of that city late on Saturday night, 'on a
warrant granted by United States Commissioner
Whitehead Of Newark. He is accused Of being
an accessory to tho frauds perpetrated on the
state National Bank by Assistant Cashier j. f..
Fairbanks. Williams was riding down Morris
avenue In the best Of spirits, but when the chief
stopped him, and produced the warrant, he al
most fell to the ground he was 80 excited. lie

ranged with the bank Official and his New York
creditors, who were IN conference on saturday

his attorney, which was granted. Afterward ho
was taken to Newark and baied 10 5000.
It's believed that Williamss indebtedness TO

quish her dowry rights to the estate, II Will be

OF course on the Senators who voted against ju-
risdiction; but they also profess to believe
that there are several Senators who voted in

not deem the evidence sufficient TO war

that the Preiident openly ssvs that

for his impeachment. Several OF tho Hepubli-
