NORMAN e. CA ,sr.

Major Norman ii. camp, eN-
United States Assayer at Boise
City was charged with embezzle-
mcnt Of over $4,000 of United
State bullion funds in that Office
sometime last spring. During an
absence of several weeks Major
Camp left the Office in charge of
the meter. Mr.. Heuschkcl, who,
according to his own statement,
had implicit confidence in Camp,
and for sixteen days made daily
reports of the money on hand
without counting it-simply taking
the balance left in the books by
Camp. Suspicion arose and the
Director of the Mint telegraphed
to Heuschkel to count the money,
which was then found $4,000
short. Camp, some time previous
to his going away, drew a check on
New York for $4,000, but filed
the stub out for $4,000 and
reported the cheek to the Treasury
Department as $4,000 instead of
$4,000. This made a discrepancy
between his account and the treas
ury, of 5000 against Camp.
Camp told Hcuschkel of this mis-
take, admitting that the check was
$4,000, and asked him how to
correct it. Ieuschkel told him to
I'll out another stub for 5000 and
not make out the check but erase
it and leave it blank and report it
as 5000 drawn, when in fact it
was not drawn or paid out and it
would make the $1,000 good, which
was done in this way.
In Boise the suspicion seemed to
rest heavily upon Ieuschilel, but
trial fixed the guilt upon Camp,
who, If guilty, must have taken the
money before going away, with
The idea that n discovery of the
shortage would involve Heuschkel
and give the advantage TO him.
Ills attorney, Silas ". Moody, thus
concluded his final speech before
Judge Broderick:
81 have been satisfied that Major
Camp never emb0zzled a dollar of
Government property, and SO again
asserting his innocence, which Will
always be believed even to the end,
/ ask Your Honor before passing
sentence to remember this: To re-
member that TIE jury recommended
him 20 the mercy of the Court to
remember the sorrow he has expe-
riencod, the anxiety he has suffered,
the high station he so recently
occupied among The citizens Of this
Territory, the awfulness of the fall
from that post Of honor to his
present place; TO remember his
services to our country when in
danger, as one of her brave defend
ers ON the field OF battle to remrn-
Der his stricken family plunged in
misery by the outcome of this
trial; to remember that his little
children will through the years to
come need a fathers love and q
fathers protection, and remember
ing these to exercise the power
placed in Your Honor's hands,
in mercy"

Secretary Manning's Illness.

1t is reported that the illness of Secre-
tary Manning is due to disagreement. at
tended with much feeling, between him
and the President, in regard to the matter
of appointments. 1t appears that, at a
Cabinet meeting just previous to the sick
ness of Mr.. Manning, the subject OF max.
ing nominations in the light of the action
of the Senate was under consideration,
mova!s of republicans and appointments
OF democrats made in New York were
made solely for political reasons. and that
it would be unjust and injurious to the
men removed to have it understood that
they were removed for other causes.
The secretary was in favor of assigning
the true reason for the changes in office
which were made, and therefore came in
conflict with the pet policy of the Presi-
dent. which is to give out that no changes
are made on partisan grounds. but solely
to promote civil service reform. The see.
rotary expostulated with the President, but
all to no purpose. The excitement caused
by the disagreement so wrought upon Mr..
Manning that apopleyy eusued.
If the reports about this matter be true,
the President occupies an uuenviable posi-
ton. Secretary Manning desired to call
things by their right names. and to be
honest in regard to changes in office He
knew the removals and appointments in
New York were made for partisan rea-
sons. and no other. and wished to say so
but the President. though knowing that
Mr. Manning was correct and desired to be
honest. would not conse1t to have the
right thing done. but insisted that sham
civil service reform should be kept up at
all hazards. There will be much sympa-
thy for the sick Secretary on account of
the peculiar circumstances which pros
trated him. and a feeling that he deserved
better success in his attempt to bring the
President to abandon the great sham
which he is engaged in as civil service
retormer.
