DOMESTIC NEWS.
Captured Counterfeiiers.
WASHINGTON, October 23l.-Dispatches
received at the Secret Service Office to-day
give the secret to the arrest of Doyle in Chi
cago, and thereby complete chapter of the
most successful work ever accomplished by
the Secret Service Bureau. Two arrests made
il. New York this afternoon disclose the fact
that the engraver of the extremely danger
Gus $50 counterfeit, also long concealed, is
at last urearthed. The engraver, as has been
surmised, is entirely new to the counterfeit
ing business. His name is Charles IL. Smith,
of Brooklyn. In company with him was cap
tured G. w Spencer, alias Bill Brockway,
also one of the best plate engravers among
known counterfeiters. None of the plates OF
materials have been captured with the men.
Warning of the arrest in Chicago, perhaps,
has given them time to conceal or destroy
that evidence, but the engraver, Smith, has
become alarmed, and is making disclosures
that will result In the conviction OF other mem
bers of the gang, who are all known, and
who have been Swallowed for months. All
the information shows that the organization
that employed Smith was one of the strong
est combinations of rascals ever captured IN
one haul in this country. Smith, in par
tial confession to night, relates the astound-
ing fact that the bonds captured in Chicago,
and pronounced by Chicago experts to be
genuine. are counterfeit, and printed from
plates engraved by him. The twenty-seven
SIOO-bills are also impressions from plates
manufactured by him. This prince of en-
gravers, who has produced work superior to
the genuine issues of the Government, is re-
ported by Chief Brooks as prize of whom
he may well be proud. The latest informa-
ton shows that had it not been for the arrest
in Chicago yesterday, and had a fortnight's
tins elapsed, $3.50, 600 of bonds would have
been floated upon the Chicago market.
CHICAGO, October 23d.-James B. Doyle,
the counterfeiter lately arrested here, was
brought before United States Commissioner
How're to-day, and his case was continued to
Thursday, under bail of S25, 600.
General Grant in Court.
NV YORK, October 23d.-General Grant
appeared before the Warren Court of Inquiry
to-day as 8 witness, but his recollection was
not very clear as TO the details Of the battle
of the Five Forks. He was asked as to his
order authorizing General Sheridan to relieve
General Warren, but Stickney, Warren's at
torney, opposed the personal opinion of the
first soldier of the country being used as a
weight against his client. General Grant
made a statement of his motive in calling in
the Fifth Corps to hide General Warren's de-
fects. There was tilt between the counsel.
Some dispatches were produced. General
Grant could not say whether General Warren
had suggested the attack on the enemy's rear.
He found that when officers undertook to
think for themselves, instead of obeying or
ders, it generally led to defeat. He did not
like it, and it had led to the removal of an
officer referring to Warren). StickneY there

This part of the testimony was then struck
out, together with some other answers derog-
atory to General Warren.
