Senator John i. Pattsrson, Of
South Carolina. wss arrested here
on Saturday, but was released on
bail. The charges are Of bribing
members of the South Carolina Leg
islature and hiring Niles G.. Parker
Treasurer OF that State. to commit
larceny. Patterson is q Pennsylva-
nian, and was said to be of unsavory
life before going South. South Car
olina is beyond doubt permanently
I'D of him, as it 10 of Chamberlain,
Parker and the rest, unless the State
welcomes them to her Penitentiary.
There have been two or three dis
coveries of irregularities in the In
terror Department Of late--not by
any OF the secret Investigations OF
Secretary Schurz, however. The in
vestigating committees are made up
of suspected parties, for the purpose
of finding out the rascalities Of other
suspected parties. A B and G
investigate d Z and #. Then d
= and F investigate A B and 9. It
is all done in secret, and unless
human nature is different in the
Interior Department from what il
| is elsewhere each set of rogues will
whitewash each otherset. The frauds
exposed Of late have been such as no
such committee had the task Of dis
covering. They exposed themselves.
In the Post Office Department also.
frauds have been discovered, and as
they illustrate q point made in this
correspondence-viz: that rings"
were formed among the subordinates
| in the various Offices, and therefore
that changes were desirable occa-
sionally-I give the particulars.
One OF the clerks being absent on
leave, another man was put at his
desk and soon discovered that in
many cases mail contractor had
been paid twice for the same service.
The contractor would receive drafts
on various Postmasters, would col
leet the money, the Postmasters
would DO duly credited with the
amounts, but tho contractor moi
charged. Irepeat that the discov-
cry was not owing to any extra vigi-
lance of Department officers. or to
any investigation. but simply TO the
fact that, accidently. change was
made in the person performing. Oh
supposed to perform, certain duties.
Two or three clerks wers necessary
