A CROOKED CUSTODIAN.
Fraud and Extravagance in the Treasury
Department.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 24-The report of the
committee charged with investigating the Gus
todian's office of the Treasury Department was
submitted to the Senate this afternoon. 1t re-
fers in detail to various questionable trans
actions, the most fragrant OF which are that
during the fiscal year of 1880 shortage of 159
wards of carpet was found in the store-room;
that $40 per dozen had been paid for file hold
ers, which might be bought for ~ 80 or less,
and several similar overcharges The story OF
Appointment Clerk Lamphere's book being
purchased by the wholesale at So per copy
while being retailed at $3.50 with 20 per cent.
discount, is mentioned as one of the most
glaring extravagances: 1882 was found charged
as having been expended for candles, which,
according to the custodian, was really used in
the purchase OF sugar and lemons used Tor lem
onade for the Secretary, Assistant Secretaries
and Chief Clerk and for "a certain church"
which was furnished in the treasury building
about the time of the Chicago convention.
Assistant Secretary Upton and Chief CLERK
Power affirm that they had no knowledge of
occasion and believed that the lemonade and
lunch referred to were furnished in legiti-
mate manner. The committee make no rec
concentrations owing to the superficial exam
ination which was made. The accompanying
papers consist of letters from Assistant Secre-
tary Upton and Chief Clerk Power. explana-
tory Of certain transactions and, and IN which
they disclaim any knowledge OF certain othef
matters at issue.
The letter of the Secretary OF the treasury
transmitting the report says:
Soon after assuming the duties OF Secretary
of the Treasury my attention was called to
alleged abuses in the disbursement of the con-
tingent fund of the department which was
under immediate charge of the custodian and
under general supervision of the chief clerk of
the department, and l appointed committee
to look into the matter as had been the custom
of the department in such cases. | became
conv inced that certain Irregularities and
abuses existed in that branch of the service
and as had some doubts as to the legality OF
tho appointment of custodian abolished the
office June II. 1881, land by general order OF
July /, 1881, re-organized the sffice.
A copy of that order is herewith Transmits
ted from which it will appear that all changes
necessary to complete and thorough correc-
ii on of the Irregularities and abuses referred to
have been adopted. It was my intention as
soon as my more pressing public duties would
permit to have pursued this general policy IN
other branch of the treasury by the appoint
ment of competent committee to collect the
necessary data on which to base proper action
to secure economy and promote the best inter-
est of the public service, but the assassination
of the President suspended further action in
that direction.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-It appears that only twen-
ty to thirty persons were drowned by the
laundering of the steamer Clan MacDuH,
some of her passengers, comprising part OF
theatrical company bound for Bombay, having
been rescued. The disaster was caused by
leak in the vessel, the water through which
extinguished the fires in the furnaces.
The passengers comprising part of the the
atrical company previously reported as having
been rescued, were those picked up by the
British steamer Palestine off Ballycotton.

of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The President sent
to the Senate to-day the name of Ex-Goy b.
d Morgan, of New York, to be Secretary OF
the Treasury, and he was promptly confirmed
It is said not TO be settled yet whether ex-Sen-
ator Howe or Gov. Boutwell, will be nominated
for Attorney General.
The report last night that Gov. Morgan had
telegraphed his acceptance is erroneous UP
to a late hour this evening no acceptance had
been received. Gov. Morgan's physician has
advised him not to accept at his time OF life a
position which will impose upon him such ar
duous and trying duties as will the Secretary
ship of the Treasury with the incoming OF a
new administration Notwithstanding the
fact that the President is pressing MacV eagh
to remain, some of his near friends say he IS
determined to retire at once.
