The suit for the recovery of this
money has been dragging along in the
Circuit Court from Sept. 10, 1877, until
the present Gay; but not picayune
has the Government ever been able to
get hold of.
Iu conversation with a man who is
pretty well Informed in matters of that
day. inquired if Steedman had sue
ceeded in realizing tie whole amount
of that big steal.
Well" said he, 1.-The money is gone.
His habits of life were very dissolvte
aud extravagant. He gambled great
deal, and lost large amount of mon
ey. The gamblers all did a thriving
business when he was here. His Office,
too, was very badly managed. Why,
they talk of whisky frauds nowadays;
but, in those times, tie distillers

better commentary on the high sound
ing professions of the Democracy to ex
elusive honesty and desire for Re
form could not well be made than by
taking a retrospective glance into the
doings Of some of those leaders when
Andy Johnson's treachery had made it
possible for them to exhibit that brill
ant quality and worthy aspiration.
The Federal offices in this city were es
pecially blessed, in 1S66-67. by the ap-
pointment of several bright lights in
the party OF
"HoNESTY AND REFORM"
some of whom still shine out in differ
ent sections of the country like loco
motive headlights in dark nights
conspicuous for their professions of de-
sire to purify the politics of the coun
try. Perry Fuller was appointed Col
lector of the Port He is now dead.
and gone to his last account. But he
left this world with 3S indictments for
defrauding the revenue hanging over
his head, amounting in the aggregate
to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
William NJ. Smallwood was appointed
Postmaster, and left his office with q
deficit standing against his name of
S19, 2S2 Is. These men were appoint
ed to these offices from the North. but
they were not ''carpet-baggers-they
were Democrats.
Last, but not least, in the list is that
eminent supporter of "Tilden, Hen
bricks, and Reform" now OF Ohio. and
doing yeoman service TO the cause in
that State,
GEN. "JIM' sTEEDMAN,-
the man who started the false report
about Gov. Hayes personal-tax re-
turns. "OId Jim," as he is familiarly
called by those with whom he was most
familiar in those days, was quite a fav
orite, from the fact that he had GER
tain Democratic characteristics devel
oped to a large degree; indeed, he
could hold his own III drinking whisky
and telling smutty stories with the
most chivaIrous Confederate in Louis
lana. In consequence, many Demo
cratic clubs were named in his honor,
such as the "Steedman Guards" the
'Steedman Knights, and other high
sounding Steedman organizations. He
was appointed Collector of Internal
Revenue by President johnson, April
4, 1867, and held the Office two years,
during which time the administration
of the Office was characterized by the
utmost disregard of the laws of revenue
service. The Government was un
doubtedIy robbed of more revenue
than it collected, by the laxity of Gen.
Steednan, in addition to that which
was filched after it had been collected.
THE FOLLOWING REPORT
was made by Auditor c. ~ Walker to
the First Comptroller of the Treasury.
shortly after Gen. Steedman resigned:

THE RUSSO-TURKISH WAR.

The manifesto promulgated by the Gar of
Russia, and the immediate crossing of the
Pruth by strong dctachments of the Russian
army previously encamed in Bessarable, mark
tho opening of what may not be a long, but
will probably be fercely fought and unus-
ually bloody campaign. On Monday Rus
sian force took possession of Jassy, pushing
an advance guard on to Bucharest. A second
detachment of the army crossed the Pruth at
Kagul and third at Belgrade. From these
movements it appears to be definitely settled
that the theatre of war is to be what is some
times described as the delta of the Balkan, =
long strip of territory lying between the Danube
and the Black Sea, and broken into two parts
by the Balkan mountains. The force with
which Russia crosses the Pruth is estimated
at not less than 800, 600 men, or fully double
the number she has ever had in any previous
opposing Turkish army is far inferior in point
of numbers, but this disparity is compensated
to q considerable extent by the command
which it has over the navigation of the
Danube and the strong defensive positions it
holds on the line of that river. If these po-
sitions should be masked or captured there
will still remain the passes of the Balkan
range to be forced before the Russians can
seriously menace Constantinople.
The frs. engagement, officially reported,
between the Turks and Russians, has been
fought at Tchorukson, in Asiatic Turkey.
The Turks claim to have put the Russians
to rout with loss of 800. An engagement
near Arabian, also in Asiatc Turkey, re-
suited in the Russians falling back.
