c. H. ELWELL,
Captain Dewitt &. Kells.

The death of Commander Charles A.
Babcock has caused the promotion OF
Lieutenant Commander Dewitt c. Kells
to the command of the Cononicus.
Captain Kells is well known, personally,
to the citizens of New Orleans, and is
highly esteemed. He was first assigned to
this station in charge of the material OF
the navy, then at the ircn-clad station, in
1870, relieving Commodore William Ronck-
endorff, now on the retired list on advanced
pay. The monitors then under his charge
have since been sold.
Captain Kells was born in and was ap-
pointed from New York December "a, 1861.
The Navy Register gives the date OF his
present commission as Of March ?, 1870,
his name standing ninety-one on the list OF
lieutenant commanders. Though he is the
junior of so many officers of his grade he
has mad long, varied and honorable sea
experience, q great portion OF it being in
the merchant service. He has been fourteen
years in the navy, and has had over nine
years. sea duty. He has been unemployed
only four months. His last cruise was to
the Rio Grande, commanding the Rio Bravo,
which was purchased since January l, 1875,
for special service, Lieutenant Commander
Henry L. johnson being her present COM
msnder. The Caronicus is . fourth rate
ironclad screw of $50 tons, carrying two
guns. Captain Kells was for some time her
executive officer, and his promotion gives
great pleasure to his friends.

ator Bayard Defines His Position.

Senator Baynrd Defines His Position.
A Washington special, July 3, to the
Chicago Post and Nail says:
The debate in the Senate to-day. on the
bill paying Pinchback, drifted into very
exciting discussion Of general politics, in
cludlng the issues of the forthcoming presi-
Dental canvass. In fact the presidential
campaign is opened by the Senate. Mr.
Bayard got intensely excited, denounced
Louisiana as q foul blot upon the country.
Senator Morton agreed that it was indeed
Of legal voters were driven from the polls
and deprived of all rights as citizens, and
in many instances murdered outright by the
armed and well-disciplined Democratic
minority.
Mr.. Bayard openly justified the use Of
shotguns of Southern Democrats in all po-
itical campaign, on the ground that they
apprehend trouble from colored people if
admitted in the right Of suffrage, and said
the forthcoming report of the Mississippi in
vestigating committee, of which he was q
member, would fully justify the action Of
the Democrats of the State in resorting to
arms to carry the last election at which
Lamar was made United States Senator In
short, Mr.. Bayard fully defended the shot
gun policy Of the Southern Democracy.
Senator Cameron, of Wisconsin, and Nc
MILAN, of Minnesota, made spirited replies
to Bayard, showing that as to outrages
committed by the Mississippi Democracy,
for which there was no justification what
ever, the half had not been told.
1t came out in the debate that the whole
commission, Senators Boutwell,, Cameron,
McMillan, Bayard and Mcdonald, agree as
to tho commission of terrible outrages by
the Democracy in Mississippi, but the Dem
ocrstic Senator'S justification, for which
they have pleaded no grounds whatever.

Sam Tflden's Crookedness.

The New York Times makes some revela-
tions regarding Tilden's private affairs,
which indicate that he has not always been
a hard-money man. We extract as follows:
The revelations concerning Tilden's shin
plaster mill in Northern Michigan continue.
There were fifty y-eight companies engaged
in the manufacture of the Currency" the
returns of two of which are thus stated:
Iron Cliff (Tildensl. ,s52 oo4 90
New York (Tilden's)...... ........." 2.ll3, 30
The whole amount of the currency issued
in Michigan was over $l00, ,OO0,O 900, and it
had an exclusive run from 1868 until 1874,
when some persons were indicted for c0un-
terfeitine it. and the court discharged the
prisoners on the ground that the currency
itself was fraudulent and illegal, and it was
no crime to counterfeit it. At the same
time, the revenue officers began to demand
the internal revenue tax, and began to take
evidence az to the amount in circulation.
The tax was ten por cent, and for the
twelve years Tilden's share amounted to at
least SIC, ,0O0, 900. But by some secret manip-
ulati0n bill was smuggled through Con.
gress on the night Of March >, 1879, remit
ting this tax, except for the last year.
Here was the apostle of hard money talk
ing and writing to the people upon the de-
structive decentralization Of paper money,
and pointing out the gl0ries of hard money,
while for twelve years he was running Two
mills for tho manufacture of rag money,
and palming it of on the miners as better
than gold. Sam also had several stores IN
the neighborhood of the mines, where gro.
ceries and dry goods and q variety OF other
articles were for sale, and Sam made his
notes legal tender in exchange for these
goods. His notes being legal tender only at
his own stores, the unfortunate holders had
to make all their purchases from Tilden,
who thus pocketed q handsome extra profit
on the sale of his wares.

An Old Time Fraud Turned Up.

A Washington special, July 3, to the
Baltimore Americ0n, says:
Secretary Chandler has just discovered
in his department fraud Of stupendous
magnitude. An act of the present session
Of Congress directs the transfer Of the
Indian trust funds heretofore held by the
Secretary of the Interior to the custody of
the Treasurer of the United States. Pre-
paratory to complying with this law, Secre-
tary Chandler caused an inventory TO be
made Of the various stocks, bonds and
other securities constituting the fund on
Friday and Saturday last, when it was
found that in addition to the $50, 600 taken
by Jacob Thompson, Buchanan'e Secretary
Of the Interior, for which suit has been
brought by Secretary Chandler, .
was taken out by some of Th0mp-
sons predecessors and replaced by various
kinds of Southern bonds, including 500 200
in bonds of the Tennessee Turnpike Com
pany, and others equally valueless. In
other words, while the law required that
the funds should be invested only in gov
ernment bonds, these unfaithful custOdians
took out 81, 100000 in cash and put in NOM
inaIy an equal amount of bonds upon
which little or no interest has ever been
paid, and which are now almost, if not ab-
solutely worthless. The United States, as
trustee, owes the Indians not only the
the fund, but also interest thereon 80 that
the government hae actually been defrauded
to an amount between e5OOO,O0O and
$6,0O0,0 ,00O Secretary Chandler is investi-
eating the subject with characteristic vigor,
and within q few days complete state
ment of the whole transaction will proba-
bly, be made.
