A correspondent Of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, who interviewed General Grant at
Ogden, reports him as saying with emphasis
that the charges preferred by Moaby against
Seward as to the corruption in the Hong
Kong consulate are true; and not only
there, but in some other places in the East.
The General then went on to show in detaj il
how these peculations are carried on ; and
ne declared that the greediness Of the con-
suls ior fees was SO great that they did not
carefully administer the oath regarding
voluntary emigration, and were therefore
