STATEMENT OF DEPARTMENT CLERK CON
CERNING.ITs DISPOSAL.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., December 30.-The
Post tomorrow will publish a letter over
fictitious signature, the writer OF which
claims TO have been clerk in the Confed-
crate Treasury ut Richmond, Va. and as
such accompanied the speci.l train from
Richmond TO Charlotte, y. c., leaving
Richmond on the night Of April ., 1865.
The amount taken the writer does not
know, but he thinks il must have been
very large. At Danyille, Va, the treasure
was. on April Sd, taken from the car and
placed i'm a bank Wit, where il remained
until after lie surrender. Then the
Secretary Of ne Treasury. Trenholm,
knowing there was no further hope OF sue
cess for the Confedcracy, ordered that
portion OF the specie be used to re-
deem Confederate notes at the rate OF one
dollar in specie for seventy in currency,
and the writer claims. he said, immense
sums OF specie thus paid out, being him
self one Of the fortunate ones after Lees
surrender. What remained Of the specie
was sent TO Greensboro, n. c., where
$50. 600 was paid to Johnst0n's army. Iere
also all officers and clerks OF the OOven-
mcni were paid off in gold in sums ranging
from 500 to $3.50 each, the writer b wing
assisted in preparing pay-rols fol this
purpose himself. Again beneficiary pre-
sumably. rs he describes the methods he
and othcr used to conceal their treasure.
What ther remained was taken southwark,
but the writer parted company with it at
Charlotte, y. c., and thereafter had no per-
sonal knowledge Of it, but he scouts the
possibility OF jefferson Davis having pro-
flied by single dollar. The writer in q
private note gives his name and address as
&. G.. Addison, Prince George county,
MARYLAND.

Two PRISONERS exchange NANEs-ONE
GOES TO THE CORRECTION, THE OTHER TO
COURT FOR TRIAL.-A remarkable case OF
personating prisoner was discovered yes
terday. During the sitting Of the Quarter
Sessions Court an indictment charging
John Mulligan with the larceny OF a carpet
valued at $3.50 was taken up for trial, and
the person who answered TO that name
placed in the dock. IL was then discovered
that the man who answered to the name
was nc the John Mulligan named in the
bill OF indictment. An inquiry at the
prison as to how the mistake occurred
elected the following facts:
On the 10Th OF this month a van-load OF
prisoners was brought there, and il left to
collect other prisoners from the station
houses. During this absence and before
the prisoners had been sent TO their differ
ent quarters Mulligan asked q man named
Phineas Taylor what he was in for, aud he
said "SiX months, House OF Correction"
Mulligan proposed to swap of commitments
with this individual, saying that he was
simply under 5000 bail to keep the peace.
Taylor accepted the proposition, and when
those who had been committed by magiS-
tratcS to the House OF Correction were
separated from those committed TO the
prison Mulligan answered 70 the name
Of Phineas Taylor, and was taken
to the House OF Correction. Taylor after
ward discovered that the charge against
Mulligan was larceny, but when called for
trial yesterday was ready 10 answer TO the
indictment. The effect of that would have
been the acquittal OF Taylor under the
name Of Alulligan, as he could not have
been identified as the man who stole the
property, and, as to Mulligan, the scheme
probably was by good behavior on his part
to get an early discharge from the House Of
Correction, and thus both would go free.
Orders have been sent from the District
Attorney to have Mulligan produced in
court TO answer TO the indictment.-P

PHILADELPHIA, December 29.-At to-
days meeting Of the state Revenue Com
mission the Committee or Manufacturing

porations and partnerships from taxation,
provided that IN oil cases where the capital
stock OF manufacturing companies and

pcrty OF said companies on partnerships,
whether represented by the stock OF said
companies or partnerships or not, shall be
subject to like taxes for local purposes as

the hands Of individuals for similar pur-
poses. The report Of the committee re-
commencing the exemption OF building
and loan associations from taxation was
also adopted. The committee 10 whom
was referred the duty OF ascertaining
what corporations are taxed on capital
STOCK, and whether any should be dis
charged, offered its report. IL recon-
mended that corporations created for
educational and benevolent purposes be
relieved from tax on capital stock, and
That no change be made in the laws affect

trade, manufacture, and commerce. This
includes corporations which erect, pur-
chase, or lease buildings for the use OF

boards OF trade, mercantile, manufactu-
ring, and exchanges. The committee, in
conclusion, recommends the relieving from
taxation OF all corporations that may
engage in the business OF transact.
ing commerce with foreign nations with
vessels built in the United States. The
committee appointed to consider the prob
able receipts and expenses for the years
