A FRAUD.
To the Editor OF the y. 7. Dispatct.
ANDERSON.

To the Editor OF the n. Y. Dispatch.
The article published in your paper en-
titled ''Sad Fate Of tho Daughter of an
Ex-Governor of Florida," III justice to the
| living and the dead requires an answer
at my hands.
The woman, ''Heleu Maude," was no
| lighter or other relation of Ex-Governor
Moseley, as is Incorrectly stated in your
article.
Governor Mosely, died at Palatha,in 1863
a widower, leaving three sons and three
daught ers-the only children he ever had.
The eldest daughter, Elizabeth, married
T. S. Haughton, ESQ, now County Judge
of Putnam county, Florida. The young
est daughter, Alice, married DR.. N. H.
Moragne. also 4 resident Of Putnam coun-
ty; and the second daughter, Susan, mar
ried Joseph Husson, lawyer, then and
now practicing in this city.
During the Mexican war with this
country, VIM. G. Moscley (the Governors
eldest sony commenced enlisting q COM
pany at Tallahassee to be under his COM
mand; and a man named Spronl express
ed a wish to volunteer, but he did not
know what to do with his two children,
a boy and girl, whose mother had left
him and gone Off. Governor Moseley
promised him that he would look after
and care for them if he, from any cause,
failed to return.
As he did not return, the Governor sent
these two orphans up to his plantation,
where they were provided for the same
as the rest of his family. The girl, whose
name was Helen, was quite pretty, and
withal willful and unwilling to bear re-
straint. Having no female in his house
qualified to keep Helen in subsection, he
placed her in care of a milliner at Talla-
| hassee, to learn trade. While here her
conduct SD became notorious for her
many improprieties, and she left with
some man for parts unknown, when he
and his family lost sight of her. This
| Helen Is undoubtedly the "Helen Maude"
who has fraudulently attempted to pass
herself off as the daughter of Governor
Moseley, and sought in this way to bring
| sympathy upon herself, even though it
brought disgrace upon Governor Moseey
and his daughters, in being related to one
so utterly depraved as your article prove
her to have been.

BYACU SARA, Nov. Sth 1877.

To the Editor Feliciana SENTINEL,
Mr.. EDtTOR:-I am too sensible wo-
man to be surprised to find that the fash
ions or manners of my girl-hood no long
er prevail; nor do ! fancy that those were
in all respects, better than the modern
ones. acknowledge that the present
classical drapery is not quite us clinging
as the dresses worn by Josephine and her
friends wien Bonaparte was first Consul;
and that it is far more graceful and be-
coming than the fashion prevailing when
1 went to dancing school CH to 30) l
never approved of the custom, prevalent
in the South in ante bellum days, of ladies
reclining in their carriages, while bare
headed clerks, (gentlemen in every sense
of the word) brought them their richest
goods for inspection. 1t was then very
common for the capricious lady amid
rhis embarrGs dc richesses, to order those
valuable goods sent to her house where
she would make her selection. That
these naughty airs added somewhat to
| the bill, is not unlikely. My latter years
have been spent in retirement, and this
is probably one reason why, on shop
ping excursion to a neighboring city this
summer, l felt startled at the change !;
not so much in the 1nerchandise-all
good in its place, bnt at the mixture OF
heterogeneous articles. On one counter,
brocaded silk, grenadines, laces &c, on
the one opposite, Goldfish, onions, tobac-
co: drugs, gun-powder (not the flagran t
leaf "that cheers''), coal-oil and whiskcy ;
the last three warranted not to explode
when used with discretion. Then the
brusque manner ofthe statesmen: Hats
on and coats off, presume must be one
of the new "notions' so extensively adj
vertised. It took me little time to COM
prehend that when I was asked to look
at some notions, the word meant what
we used to call noure ats. "Whatcver
is, is right" was said by no less authori-
ty than Pope; but dissent even from
him and still think ':the times are out of
Joint" go temporu, o mores :"

the party's success this fall.-Ea8tern E.r.
change. ....r. --.--r
Confidence is good, but over confidence
is dangerous, especially if it grows out
of mere opinion, rooted perhaps, into, a
conceit. A political party in the minor.
ity should make its campaign policy ag-
gressiye rather than opinionative. In
the latter case they are placed upon the
defensive, and are made to suffer in con-
sequence. This ought not to be allowed
this fall. The disaster of 1875 should be
avoided, by policy more sensible and
prudent.

Sherman's Real Estate Transac-
tiOns. e4
WAsnINFroN, June IS.

John Sherman has gone into real estate
speculation here on large scale, a IA
Shepherd. A sort time since he purchased
a large tract of ground on Capital Hill
Then he influenced the District Commits
sioners to make some necessary improve
ments in the immediate locality This
Shepherds old trick and of course, the
old result followed. Square 72o being
guarded and Improved, wentup great
ly in price, whereupon Sherman, together
with r. c. Mccormick and Z. S. Bah
cock, who are operating with him, iAduc'
ed the surveyor Of the District to subdi-
vide the square and run street through
it to be called Chicago street Now these
enterprising gentlemen have I23 builds
ings lost, on which they propose to erect
sixty four dwelling houses. AS the con
tractor is still at work making improve
ments, and the District authorities pro
pose to make one ofthe handsome squares
in the city, Messrs. Sherman, Mccormick
Ell al. may be able to exc out their Gov
ernment salaries and exist, even though
they cannot run campaign committees
and play politics any more.
The Degenerate Son Of Noble Sire.
The taking of evidence in the case of
United States Marshal Douglas, Of North
Carolina, charged with malfeasance in
office, was completed to day. Franks,
the Deputy Marshal, who was caught,
and has since appeared against Douglas
to save himself, had the day to himself
and made the most Of it. He introduced
documentary proof to show that fraudu-
lent pay vouchers were common in
Douglas office, and that various sorts of
frauds were resorted to for the purpose Of
robbing the Government. AS a specimen,
he related one case where Deputy, in
company with United States Commits
sioner, entered drugstore and noticed
a bottle of some sort Of bitters containing
whisky, on which the Government tax
had not been paid. A warrant was made
out on the spot, the papers served across
the counter, the case tried across the
counter, a fine imposed and paid across
the counter, and the whole matter began
and ended inside of twenty minutes. For
that case, however, the Government was
charged mileage for a number Of miles
travel, subsistence for several persons for
several days, witnesses fees, &C., the
total making heavy bill Of expense.
This, Franks declares, is merely a sample
of the way expense accounts were fraud.
ulently increased. He testified that it
was the rule, and not the exception, to
make false charges for mileage and sub
sistence. Duriag the trial he and Doug
las have both sought to prove that the
other was the biggest rascal out Of Jail,
A prominent North Carolina Democrat,
who is in the city, says both are right,
and the United States Courts in North
Carolina are rotten clear through, and in
need of complete reformation.
