The High Regard in Which He Held General
Gant-Feeling Sentiments.
Mr.. Horatio Seymour, having been invited
to speak bt the memorial meeting in the
opera house, Utica, n. Y, has sent the fol-
lowing letter OF tribute to the great generals
memory:
CAzENovIA, Aug. 6, 1855.
"DEAR SIR: i am sorry my absence from
home put it out of my power to attend and
address the meeting OF the citizens of Utica
to express their sentiments with regard to
the character and services of Gen. Grant. i
enjoyed pleasant intercourse with him and
held him in high regard. In addition to his
distinguished military services, he had other
claims upon the gratitude of his countrymen.
Throughout his brilliant career he preserved
the simplicity of habits and sentiments
which is ever characteristic Of great
ness. lie was never Dewildered by
his great achievements over
come by his brilliant success. He will
live in the history of his country not only on
account of his deeds on battlefields, but also
for his thoughtful utterances and his kindly
words with regard to all sections of our land.
He served his country as well upon bis
deathbed as on the fields of war. His words
will do much to do away with hurtful pas
sions and prejudices and To strengthen the
bonds of our Union. There has never been
an exhibition of popular feeling which gives
MS more confidence in the future Of our
Union than the expressions with regard to
the death ot Gen. Grant in all sections of the
land and by members OF all parties. To all
thoughtful citizens this exhibition of general
regard and respect does much to encourage
the hope that sectional passions and preju
dices are dying out HIS words at the close
OF his life have done much to bring about
this happy change of feeling and senti
ment. Respectfully yours, etc.
"HoRATIo SEYMOUR.

mittee, Utica"

sHREwD SCHEME TO DEFRAuD.
Tapping n Telegraph Wire Ia Get the
Caalls-An Operators Signature.

BosroN, Aug. 14.--A fraud was perpe-
!rated on the Sandy River National Bank
of Farmington, Me-, two or three days
ago. A man describing himself as Walter
W. Wanser, Jr., of Portland, deposited
81 500 in the Exchange Bank of this city,
for which he obtained certificate of
deposit, and signified his desire to have
it paid in Pennington, Me-, and the
Sandy River Bank was so notified
by the Exchange Bank. Wanser
then went to Pennington and
had his certificate of deposit cashed.
Having thus established his identity and
the fact that he had had dealings with n
reputable bank in Boston, lie soon after
ward said that he expected So, 900 more
to be paid into the Exchange Bank,
of which the Pennington Bank would
be notified by telegraph. Some
time afterward the telegram came, but in
ordinary language instead of cipher, as is
usually the case in such transactions be-
tween banks. The cashier at Pennington
did not wait to verify the deposit, but i'm
mediately paid it by check dated August
18th, and numbered SOL, and Wanser dis
appeared. After the check was delivered
the cashier had doubts about the
transaction, and telegraphed to Boston
receiving answer that the Exchange Bank
knew nothing of Wanser beyond the first
certificate OF deposit. Steps were taken
to stop the negotiation of the check, but
up to date it has not been heard from.
1t was at first supposed that the forged
dispatch directing the payment of the
$5, 900 had been sent by II confederate in
Boston. The telegraph company, how
ever, could get no trace of the message
outside the Pennington office. Yesterday
it was discovered that the telegraph wire
between Portland and Pennington Ind
been cut in the woods two or three miles
outside the latter place, and loopput ina
telegraph instrument was found concealed
near by. The sharper had managed things
with great skill. He must have listened
to what was said over the wire for u long
time to get the calls, message numbers,
operators signature, &C., right in order
not to excite the suspicion of the
Pennington operator. When he sent his
bogus message it was correctly numbered
to follow that last sent from the Portland
Office, and the operators private sigma
ture of that Office was affixed to it.
