WASHINGTON, April l6.-Mr. \. G..
Bateman, of the firm of Bateman & Co,
bankers, of this city, to-day filed with the
Secretary Of War a letter in which he
says: 1T becomes my duty to prefer
charges against Brigadier General ID. G.
Swain, at the head of the bureau of
military justice of the United States
army, for fraud and for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and a gentleman. [
stand ready to prove what | have said.
ID. j. Swain has committed fraud to all
intents and purposes upon the banking
house of Bateman d Co, of which [ am
a member. Some two years ago the said
ID. q. SWAIN, having deposited the sum
of s., 1000, received on his departure for
the West a simple due bill, at his request.
to have in case accident should befall
him. This amount was checked out sub
s%equently to that by said d. G. Swain, for
which he have a number of vouchers.
After having drawn all the money out and
settlement being made, he negotiated and
transferred a due bill for the full amount,
with certain parties in this city. | am
further ready to prove that said ID. G.
Swain assisted to negotiate army pay
vouchers with our firm which he knew to
be fraudulent, and triplicates of outstand-
ing accounts. | ask hat a court martial
be ordered for the trial of said d. G.
Swain, on the charges preferred. | de-
sire when it is ordered, to amend this by
presenting other charges under the head
of conduct ~unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman.
General Swain was seen by a reporter
tonight and the charges made by Bate
man read to him. He expressed himself
as greatly surprised, and said there was
not a word of truth in the charges. He
said he had deposited money with Bate
man and taken IA due bill for the amount
of the deposit, which due bill he had af-
forwards disposed of to the contractors
who built his house, but that at the time
the due bill was thus disposed of by him
the money was on deposit in the bank.
He denies that the deposit was checked
out by him, charges Bateman with at
tempting to blackmail him and says he
has brought these charges in order to get
out of paying the amount of this due bill.

A Singular Wager.

Two rich Polish landlords agreed
each to isolate two hens, two ducks
and two geese from the poultry
yard and allow them to multiply
for fifteen yeaes. Superfiuous male
ard IN .imed female birds could be
sold, but the total sale was not to
exceed ten per cent of the whole
flock at the end of the fifteen years.
At the end of that term the posses

the smaller flock and 10, 600 roubles
in cash to be distributed among
charitable institutions. Upon set

LabOuchcre's Logic.

There is at least one man in

land" he says, call the rights pos
sessed by each State of the Ameri-
can Union. and the Irish would
ask for no more" The concession
suggested would in very short
time end the lorg duet of the cen
turtles that has been fought between
the two countries; put stop to
dynamite conspiracies, political as
sassinations and the long train of
lesser evils that afiict both peo-
pies. Let us hope that Parliament
will have the wisdom this year to
follow the statesmanlike policy
which Mr.. Labouchere. who has a
seat in the Commons, has so terse-
~ outlined.

GORHAMS, LETTERS.

The San Francisco Chronicle.
with q fine stroke of enterprise, has
secured the pen Of George Gorham
to furnish it with letters from
Washington during the session OF
Congress. Gorham has facilities
for getting at the inside of National
politics enjoyed by few men in the
country. and thus coupled with a
clear, decisive style as a writer,
gives his letters great prestige. 1t
is the fault with many Washington
correspondents that they aim to
make letter interesting and gos-
sipy, and when they cannot get
facts, work upon their imagina-
tions, and the result is bewilder-
ing array of chaffy rumors, all of
which are contradicted inside of
twenty-four hours. Mr.. Gorham
knows as much of National politics
as any other man that can be
named, and hundreds of channels
lead up to him which reach very
few correspondents. One feels in
terested in reading his letters from
a knowledge of the fact that he
speaks by the card.

The new directory of the Postal
Telegraph and Cable Company,
which has just been elected. counts
among its membership Mr.. John
W. Mackay. Mr.. Henry Rosener.
Mr., Daniel E. Davidson, and sew
eral other well known gentlemen.
A large number of the principal
cities of the continent are already
connected by the Postal wires, and
the company is rapidly pushing its
system in every direction. We
congratulate the new organization
on the vigor displayed by it, and
the public upon the prospect of
strong opposition to the Western
Union association. The rates
charged by the present monopoly
are entirely too high, and severe
tax on the business of the country.
If its stock had not been so out
rageously watered, its tariff could
of course be very materially de-
creased and still yield a handsome
return on its cash investment. The
gentlemen who are interested in
the Postal Telegraph and Cable
Company do not intend to follow
the vicious precedent thus set them
and so will make their enterprise
all the more valuable to themselves
and the public.-New York Jour
nal,

Mr.. Marshall Field, the dry
goods king of Chicago, has anuoun-
ced that he is in favor of Free Trade.
As Free Trade will enable Mr. Field
to get European dry goods into
this country without paying duty,
it is but natural that he should be
willing to join the Democrats in
the cry for a reduction in the tariff.
If Mr.. Field were interested in
American manufacture, he would
not be SO glib in desiring free i'm
portation of foreign stuffs, or if he
happened to be working for daily
wages in an American factory.
