MOORE AND GEN BOYNToN.
One W. b. Moore, late Special Agent
of the Treasury Department, is out in a
letter to the Secretary OF the Treasury,
in which he alleges that his removal
took place while he was Investigating
the Norfolk Custom-house defalcation.
He asserts tnat Mr.. Sturtevant, OF the
Treasury Department, was accessory to
The abstraction OF certain correspond
ence between him (Moore) and Presi-
dent Grant, which was used by General
BOynton to effect his removal; that Gen.
BOynton tried to bIackmail him, etc.
The charge against Gen. Boynton is
universally discredited at the Treasury
Department. 1t is stated that Mr..
Moore was removed on the direct re-
quest of President Hayes, and it is said
that the grounds Of removal were other
than those Mr.. Moore supposed. Presi-
dent Grant appears to have asked tor
Moore's retention in Office, Sand for this
reason he was kept in longer than he
otherwise would have been.

A BOy OF Mettle.

On Wednesday afternoon, in Capp
street, a lady and child had Just taken
their seats in buggy, to which two
horses were harnessed, when the animals
took fright and went down the street at
full speed. The lines had fallen over
the dashboard, and the lady had no
means of controlling the team, but she
had presence of mind enough to retain
her seat and tightly grasp the child.
Several attempts were made by persons ON
the street to stop the runaways, but they
only served to increase the speed of the
frightened horses. At length boy on
horseback appeared on the scene and
galloped after the fugitives. He headed
them at the corner Of Fourteenth and
Capp streets, after they had cleared two
or three blocks, and, by dexterous hand
ling of his own horse, managed 10 seize
the lines of the runaway team and bring
them to standstill. As NAV be i'm
agined, the lady was greatly agitated by
the adventure, but was not too overcome
to speak her gratitude to her deliverer.
The name of the little hero is John
Flynn. He is about IL or 13 years of
age, and is said TO have stopped other
runaways in much the same way.-.San
