A Year OF Plenty.

WASHINGTON, September 1G.-Alr. L. B
Sidney, OF Chicago, makes a business o.
loaning money for Scotch and English
capitalists, and depends for security upon
western:iarmN mortgages. He finds it ncces
sary to know to an absolute certainty what
the prospects are for crops each year
and i he ! said to-day, Ito the; cores
pondent, that there would be great crops
in the northwest;if the frost holds off ten
days loneer.S The wheat crop is assured,
and is very good. Corn and potatoes give
promise OF yielding better than was ever
known before, and the, grass crop has not
only been good, but has received more at.
teniion from haryesters than in previous
years. ) The certainty Of; the beef marke,
and the yearly. increasing demand have
turned the attention OF some farmers to
stock raising and feeding, in localities
where the land has heretofore been e1clu'
sively seeded with grain. ~ ~

allegations Of Foreman Dickson, OF the

Dickson's charges, and denies them in toto
He says the advances were made by Mr.
Dickson, who wanted to know what ad

WASHINGTON, sSeptember l6.-IIenry
George has written letter to President
Arthur, formally calling his attention to a
recent experience of George in Ireland.
The letter: Was filed at the White House to-
day by J.@1Iale Sypher, along with COM
munica,ion from Sypher himself, in which
he, ms representative Of Georges friends,
bespoke early consideration by the execu-
tive Of the history OF Georges wrongs.
The letter recounts the story OF the recent
arrest Of George, and the annoyances he
was subjected I'd in spite Of his statements
that he WAS an American citizen, OF re-
spectacle character, travelling upon lawful
business. The charge against him was as
sociating with suspicious persons. George
claims his case is not IN isolated one, but
that many Americans have been subjected
to similar and worse indignaties, merely
because they were Americans. :

WASHINGTON, September lG.-Charles
Z. Westling, clerk In the Peusion Office,
desired to become Special Agent IN the
General Land Office. He was backed by
the Nebraska delegation, Governor John,
Governor Cullum, Senator Logan and other
prominent men. He obtained the position,
and in March last was sent into Mississip-
pi TO investigate depredations on the timber
lands 1.-The United States. lie had not been
there long before he found, or pretended
10 find, that P. Rouse was cutting timber
unlawfully. He made complaint against
him. and Rouse was arrested. After hay.
Ing gone this far, Westling demanded Of
Rouse, md received $500 Us q compromise
on the part Of the United States with Rouse.
Westling knew that he had no authority 10
make the compromise. After he had done
50 he Jailed either to report what he had
done TO the Commissioner OF the General
Land Office, or that Rouse hud committed
any oiense, but quietly pocketed the
money. B
However, 1t leaked out that Rouse had
been arrested and his case comprmised.
Special Agent Dunn was assigned 10 inves.
tigate Westling's conduct. The investiga.
ton showed the special agents's charges to
be correct, and on September he procured
a warrant for the arrest of Westling. He
was taken into custody. the following day,
and brought before justice, and held in
$500 for his appearance on September s.
The delay in the hearing was occasion I'd
BY the necessity to bring witnesses from
Mississippi. At the time set the Govern
ment had here J. 7, Rouse, J. J. Cowie
and G. v. n. Ogden, but Mr.. Westling
failed to appear. His bond was forfeited
and q bench warrant issued, which has
been returned "not found" % Z
It is evident the accused has left for parts
unknown. - a
Rouse was willing TO tell all that trans.
pired in relation to the whole transaction
believing that he was acting In good faith
with party clothed with the authority to
compromise on the part OF the Government
and not having the remotest idea, until he
met Special Agent Dunn, that he was
minus $500 aud in no easier circumstances
with the United States as far as cutting off
its timber was concerned. The Land Office,
when this small steal was discovered, de-
clded to press the investigation further,
and were surprised to find that WestIing's
business had been conducted on much
larger scale than was supposed, and that
that the amount stolen will get up into, the
thousands instead Of tarrying in the hun.
dreds. The inquiry is not yet concluded,
and very little Information beyond what is
given can be ascertained.

ment published to-day, declaring Controll-
erPattison, their Subernatorial candidate, re-
sponsible for the enormous thefts OF the city
cash, recently committed by superintend-
ent Phipps, Of the Philadelphia almshouse.
Chairman Henzel had planned 10 boss the
big part Of Pattison's claims to election on
his record as city controller. Now, how.
ever, it is claimed that he has been violating
the law openly for the last two years and it
WAS altogether through this violation that
Phipps and his confederates were enabled
TO make their wholesale robbery. The
law requires that the controller shall coun:
tersgn almshouse warrants only for con-
tractors in person. Instead Of doing that
be has been countersigning them for any
one who presented them. Phipps and his
confederates kept presenting warrants,
getting them countersigned and drawing
the money without anybody questioning
them. Now that Phipps has disappeared
a number OF aims house contractors have
rushed forward to get their warrants; only
to find that through Pattison's violation OF
the law Phipps has drawn them and taken
the money with him. tits also openly rs.
serted that the head clerk in the Controll.
er's Office was found hand in glove with
Phipps. A number Of the prominent
members Of the bar have been interviewed
and declare that not only can Controller
Pattison's bondsmen be held responsible
for whatever loss the city may sustain in
four suits which have already been entered
against;the city by the defrauded aims
house contractors for bis violation OF the
law and hisoath OF oiotiice, but he can be i'm
peached and expelled from the Controller
ship by Councils. The Democrats are en-.
deavoring to hush:the matter up, but there
