GRANDMOTHER'S MONEY.
The First "Chisellng" Of the Barrel Used
in Indiana,
Mr.. Englisl, Appropriatcs Ills Grandmother's
Pension to His own Uso-other
Heirs Left out In the Cold.
A short Chapter of English History.

General Boynton, the Washington c0rre-
spondont of the Cincinnati Gasette, has un-
earthed chapter of the history Of William
II. English, the democratic candidate for vice.
president, which will appear in the Gdsctte
this morning. and which reveals the infamous
practices of that individual even as early as
1547, 's aud %. This case is made up from
documents in tho departments Of the govern
mcnt ut that period, which bear
the official signatures of William Marcy,
secretary of war Isaac Toucey, attornoy.gen.
eral and the commissioner of pensions at that
time, aud hence the narrative Is proven TO be
true by eminent democratic testimony, and is
not at all subject TO the plea that II Is an in
vention of the enemy purely 10 tho interest
of party advantage. The documentary proof
Is vouminous, filling several columns of the
Gdsette, aud hence is too unwicldly for the
columns Of The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN at
this late hour. The gist of the affair how
ever, has been CLEANED from hasty perusal of
the documents In manuscript, aud presents q
case of rare turpitude. 1t Is said that about
tho meanest thing man can be guilty of is
10 steal the cents from dead grandmother's
eyes, aud this affair Is analogous to such u
transaction.
1t appears that while English was an em
ploye in one of the departments in Washing
ton he discovered that his grandmother Easton,
his grandfather having died, was entitled to
a pension for his grandfatheI's services In the
army of the country, which aggregated some
$1,000, more or less. English dug up this
claim aud secured the money. He then had
himself Illegally, 1t is said, appointed admin
istiator of his gramdmother's estate, which he
settled, paying over nothing 10 the heirs
This performances was discovered, another nd
ministrator was legally appointed nt the in
stance of the heirs, the receipt Of this money
by English was established by departmental
proof aud tho money was demanded. Eng.
lish pleaded insolvency, and his bond being
only for $500, and his bUndsmen insOlvent also,
nothing could be recovered and nothing has
bcen recovered for the rightGul heirs, some four
or FIVE in number, down to the present hour.
Letters have recently been received by the
pension bureau from some of the heirs of this
grandmother iuquiiing after this claim but
without giving the key to it so that it could
be traced. General Boymton, however, got
wind Of the matter, avaled himself of the
key to the case aud has 50 far revealed its
history as TO establish by the best possible
documentary proofs the facts as substantially
given above 1t now appears that English is II
millionaire, and that lie has Lad the use of
this $4,000 Of his grandmothe's pension
money, which rightfuly belonged principally
to other heirs, for more than thirty years. No
wonder lie Is rich. Is this the manner OF man
to fill the second position in the govern.
ment of the United States? The people will
answer In November.
