iBY TELEGRAPH 10 THE TRrBUyE
| WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-Wm. T. Moore formerly
Chief of the Special Treasury Agents and recently
dismissed from the Government service, made his
final report on Saturday. and published copy Of t
This morning IN The National Republican. Mr.. Moore
VIII be remembered rs The author OF several letters
20 Gen. Grant published several months ago i'm THE
/ Tribune, In which he made numerous accusations
AGAINST rominent officers in the Treasury which
proved to he without foundation. The apparent OBJ
ject of thcae reports was 10 inform the President
as to who among the Treasury officials favored the
nomination Of Secretary Brisow ct Cincinnati and TO
give him opportunity to remove them 1t was
through sloore5 instrumentaty also when Chief of
Spec al Agents that Maddox the witness, whom Da-
vid Dudley Field introduced during the Louisiana
| investigation as his trump card, was sent to New
Orleans during the sessions Of the Returning Board.
rs reward iorm very peculiar services Gen. Grant
after the Inauguration Of President Hayes, wrote
letterto Secretary sherman asking personal favor
that Moore be retained n the service. The substance
of Moorrs final report is as follows:
FUs'-He has discovered defalcatIon in the Nor
filis Custom House which he was engaged in nvesh-
eating when dismissed, aud which be ought TO be al
lowed to complete.
Scc0nd-A X. Tingle, present Chief Of Special
Agents and others conspired to secure Moore's re-
moya by attempting TO blacken his character in
order that Sir. Tingle might Sc lrc 3loorcs place
Third Gen. II. v Boynton, a correspondent Of
The Cincinnati Gazette j al entered into a conspiracy
with somebody both to rain Moore's character ana
TO blackmail him.
AS 10 the first Of these allegations the Treasury
officials say that it is untrue The dcfa cation in the
Norfolk Custom House was d'scoverc.. IN the
Treasury Department sometime before Moore was
detailed for work in connection With IL. The de-
hciency was covered M by Lee, the late Collector
by charging himself with the amount he had stolen
. as Collector remaining hand and unpaid after
his death. The tact tiar these funds were missing
discovered by the Customs Bureau, and
Moore having been furnished with all the facts
which had btcn collected and with explicit direc
;ions how ~ proceed was detailed 10 90 20 Norfolk
for the purpose simply Of ascertaiuing tie amount
OF money which had been misapped.
As -o the accusation against Special Agent Jingle
f. is ,Apla ned at the Treasury Department that
Tngle never made application for his present po-
.tion buJ was selected By Secretary Sherman ON
his own moron has attention having been called to
some very excellent reports l.r. Tingle had recently
made. MI. TEgie has been in he employ of the
Treasury Department for many years, and has been
commen led by all the rctires n most efficient
and valuable officer. He is now in Boston, and viii
probably answer the accusations made against him
by Moore, should an answer be necessary on bis re-
turn.
The third charge, which is the sensational ORG Of
all, is against Gen. II. v Boynton Of The Cincinnati
Cd-eie. !, is in these words:
Hearing the PrgsIien had based his action upon rep
reseutauons made by one v foyuton and others,
