WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 1881.
The development Of scandal in
the Pension Bureau OF the interior
Department has just come to light
which threatens 10 put to the blush
the petty speculations recently ex-
posed in the Treasury
On the LIST OF September one
George w. Black, former clerk in
the Pension Office, was arrested and
brought before the Police Court ON
an information charging him with
the presentation OF false claim tor
a pension. Black had but a short
time previous appeared before tn
same court as one of the principals
OF an indecent affary, The character
OF the man neutralized the force OF
the offence against the government
leaving the public to infer that it was
confined to one rascal. A new Conn
missioner OF Pensions, however,
had just been installed and Mr.
Dudley could not understand how IL
was possible for a single clerk to sue
cessiullv get false claim through.
The former Commissioner, Mr.. Ben
tley bad reiterated that thousands OF
pension claims, one in every five,
were fraudulent and was simply de.
nounced for his frankness and finally
removed by President Garfield. Mr..
Dudley, undeterred by the fate OF
his predecessor, Immediately began
an investigation. Black false CLAIM
was filed on the 9th of June, 1879.
The investigation was begun, there
fore, to include claims filed some
time previous TO that.
The conviction OF Colonel Dudley
that the ex stence of a ring was nee
cessary to the successful operation
OF getting money on false claim has
been verified. 1t involves number
a number OF clerks 10 the examiners
branch and revising division and
among these some OF the mos trust
ed men in the office.
Your correspondent called on
Commissioner Dudley to-day and
inquired as to the facts in the case.
That gentleman admitted that ex-
tensive frauds, similar to the Black
case had been going on, but refused
to divulge the name of the suspects
ed parties.
You think it is the operations OF
Iing?" was asked.
II do, and am just now Invests
gazing that ring, in which, am sorry
TO say, appear to be some truste d
clerks. The names cannot be given
for obvious reasons. We are not

Given u supper.

Last evening, the members of
DUPONT Post, q. A. r., were the
guest OF their fellow m mber, Anton
Hence, at his saloon, No. l24 King.
Mr.. HenEe sometime ago extended
an invitation to the Post to parlake
of banquet which he would prepare
for them. The invitation was accept.
ed and last night fixed upon as the
date. AS soon as the invitation had
been accepted, MIR. Hepze began
preparing for the event and as a
result, those who were present par
took Of banquet equal il not su-
perior to any that has been given TO
private party in this city. Two
large extensions tables were spread
in the dining room, and were fairly
grooming under the best of edibles.
The bill of fare consisted of deviled
crabs, chicken crouquettes, roast beef
aud lamb, cod ham and tongue,
salads and the necessary condements.
Each table was ornamented with a
handsome fruit stand, and was also
graced with bouquets. Upon each
plate was laid u bard tack containing
the letters G. A. r., in a monogram .
These were forclble reminder of
marching days. After all had par
taken of the good things spread be
fore them number of speeches were
made. and a resolution of thanks
passed. The FIRST Regiment Band
was to have been present, but owing
to some OF their members being en-
gagged at the Elkton Fair they failed
to put in an appearance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hence are to be con-
graduated for the manner and taste
with which the banquet was gotten
up. Mrs. Hepze prepared the
edibles.

BLAINE AND CONKLIxG.
Telling Effect Of a Letter from
sthe Former TO the President.

Washington special to the Boston,Herald.l
The absurd story that Secretary
Blaine knew nothing of tho Robert.
SON nomination nor of others until
they were received, improbable in
itself, is explained by the fact, that.
on the night of the day when the pres
ident nominated Mr.. Conkling's four
men Tor the district at~torneyship and
narshalships of nothern and southern
New York, Secretary Blaine being
then incensed at the apparent whole
sale surrender of New York patronage
to Mr.; COnkling, and being unable to
leave his house on account of sickness.
wrote q letter to the president. cover
ing eight pages, in which he expressed
his regret at the nominations he made.
and urged the immediate nomination
OF Mr.. Robertson to be collector of
the port OF New York as a check TO
Mr.. Conkling and an encouragement
to the anti Conkling men Of New
York, who made Mr.. Garfeld's nomi-
nation possible at Chicago. Mr.. Rob
ertson was nominated on the morrow.
Nh. Merrett, whom he displaced, was
named consul general to London, and.
as a consequence, MIR. Badeau, who
had filed tnat place, was shifted to
Denmark, and Mr.. CTause was shifted
10 Switzerland. All these latter nom
nations were, of course. in the baili-
wick OF the secretary OF state, whether
he were Mr.. Blaine or anyone else.

The HydrOlith.

1t is to be hoped that the Memphi:
discovers of the new "Hydrolith'
pavement made out of liquid cobble
stones at New Orleans, will secure a
few specimens for exhibition and in
spection in this city. A difficulty is
apprehended from the statement that
all the material prepared in a cistern
was pumped out and turned into a
solid slab of granulated granite. An
editor was unable to break a piece,
which somehow got to his office, with
a hammer. Ofcourse an editor always
keepsa hammer lying around loose
for such experiments. However, if
they will manage to melt off a piece
somehow and send it up here, we will
see what can be done with the Hydro
18th. We have some editors and en-
gineers who will no doubt cheerfully
tackle it.

to reconsider the vote by which boiled
