PAYMASTER HODGE’S DEFALCATION. 
Sept. 15.—An examination of theSeound Au¬ 
ditor’s office iu the Treasury Department re¬ 
veals the fact that there are four and one-half 
years of Paymaster Hodge's unsettled accounts 
in that office awaiting examination. His last 
settlement includes only accounts up to the 
period of March, 1887. In the account current, 
filed with the Second Auditor for examination 
on July 1,1871, Major Hodge claimed to have a 
balance with the U. S. Treasurer of $089,778, 
when ho really had, as nppeared by the books, 
only $250,009. This discrepancy was not discov¬ 
ered until iIds morning. The alleged fraudulent 
voucher, that led to Hodge’s detection, was filed 
in Hie Second Auditor’s office for examination 
in 1865, and its fraudulent nature was not dis¬ 
covered during nil this Unto. Thu custom of 
keeping paymasters' accounts so much in ar¬ 
rears gives every opportunity for defalcation. 
The officers of the Second Auditor’s Bureau as¬ 
sert that it was not the fault of that officer that 
the discovery of the frauds was not tnndo at nil 
earlier period, but. the fault of lMytunsler-Gcn. 
Brico, whoso duty it is to certify a paymaster’s 
return and to approve his requisitions for 
money. It is shown that Gon. Brlco approved 
Hodge's requisitions for hundreds of thousands 
of dollars, when Hodge’s accounts, showed that 
he had over a half a million on deposit. It is 
claimed that if Paymaster-Gen. Brlco had given 
his attention to the mutter, instead ol' trusting 
blindly to Hodge's honesty, he would have 
thwarted Hodge '8 designs before he had used 
many thousands of the Government money, 
From present indications It is not unlikely that 
the embezzlement will reach a million of dollars.

Washington, Sept. 20.—A soldier entered ns 
a private in December, 1861, was discharged for 
wounds, and after an interval of so mo months, 
re-enlisted as a veteran, and was discharged for 
n wound received during his tlrst enlistment.. 
He claimed that under tlie fourth section of 
the act. of March 3,1865, providing that when 
soldiers aro discharged for wound* they shall 
reeive bounty ns it they had served thoir full 
term, he was entitled to the whole veteran 
bounty for the three years’ term. The Second 
Comptroller held t hat ns the wound for which the 
soldier was discharged was received dining a 
former contract, of enlistment, for which he 
had already received bounty, he could not re¬ 
ceive two bounties for the same wound, but 
was entitled to the matured installments only 
nt the time of Ills second discharge.

On Saturday morning. Sept. 16, Dennis H. 
Mahan, Professor of Military and Civil Engi¬ 
neering at 'Vest Point, took passage f rom that 
place to New York on t lie steamboat Mary 
Powell. His conduct seemed to excite the ap¬ 
prehensions of liis housekeeper, who accompa¬ 
nied him on the journey. She kept such a care¬ 
ful watch over him as to annoy him, and ho 
petulantly requested her to cease following 
him. At it moment when he was free from her 
supervision, ho drew off his coat and shoos and 
plunged into the water, and probably received 
a blow from the paddle-wheel while lie was iu 
the water. Ho sank immediately, and all efforts 
to recover his body wore In vatit. It is sup¬ 
posed that the oauso of his suicide was the re- 
oomnumdiition tnndo by the Board of Visitors 
at West Point, last .Tune, t hat he be placed upon 
the retired list, which strangely affected his 
mind. 
POUGHKEEPSIE, Sept. 17.—A boy, age 7, be¬ 
longing to O’Brien’s Circus, was found in n room 
of the hotel at Stormville, Inst week, with his 
hands tied behind him, and almost dead from 
starvation. The oook board his cries, and gave 
him u piece of broad, and when this was discov¬ 
ered by thcoirous people, he was severely beaten 
for eating it. He wus deprived of fond that he 
might remain light, so that the men in the ring 
oould toss him about easily. Thursday he died, 
and the physician deolared that ho had been ac¬ 
tually starved to death. Ho belonged to u per¬ 
son called the ’’Strong Woman " of ihc circus, 
who is said to have bought him In Paris for $1U0. 
Ithaca, Sept. 14.—The examinations for en¬ 
tering students have been in progress since Mon¬ 
day, and about 250 students have been examined. 
The entering class this year will not be as large 
as that of last year, but will number nntcb above 
200. The prospoots for the year tiro very flue. 
President White stated In his address before the 
students this morning that this would, without 
doubt, be ihe most prosperous year yet known. 
He stated also that in the past years of the Uni¬ 
versity tho preference had been given in the 
scientific schools, iu order that they might lie 
pushed forward and perfected; that now, how¬ 
ever, this measure had been in great part se¬ 
cured, at least, so fur as to warrant the trustees 
to make greater preparations for Classical De¬ 
partment, and to secure a full professorship in 
both Latin and Greek. Heretofore, only one 
Professor and an assistant were employed in 
that department. A professor of agriculture 
lias been secured, and, it is expected, will reach 
hereabout the last of tho mouth. Prof. Goo. 
W. Green has also been secured to deliver a 
course of lectures on American History before 
Senior Class. 
The Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman 
years are now filled with large classes, tho pres¬ 
ent Senior being the only class that has gone 
through the four years. Large invoices of 
1 
machinery nre received daily for the Sibley 
Building, and put in place there. The University I 
presses have all been placed in a room of that 
building and connected with the engine-room. 
The MeUraw building is nearly finished, and the 
President’s house has been commenced. The 
design of the latter was made by it student, iu 
arcliitefiuro connected with this Institution. 
The Income or the University is, it is said, $125,- 
000, ami it is expected that iL will exceed this 
slim before another year. The tuition fee Iihs 
been raised from $10 to $15; for this no reason 
has been given. The new professors who com¬ 
menced their duties this morning were Prof. 
Tracy Peck, formerly Of Yale, Professor of 
Lntiii; Mr. J. L. Flagg of Harvard, Professor of 
Greek; Prof. Thomas J. Tilney of Yale, Pro¬ 
fessor of Rhetoric; Prof. F. E. Loomiss of Yule,

MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS, 
New York, Saturday, Sept. 23 , 1871 . 
Monev has gone up 2 per cent, in value since our 
last report and is now lending to the Brokers at 7 per 
cent, The change is immediately due to the last 
Bankreturns which showed continued expansion in 
Loans with a rapidly declining average of Gold and 
Greenbacks. The rule for the Government of the 
National Banks is 25 per cent, of lawful money to 
liabilities on Deposits and Circulation. This average 
is now very nearly approached, and caution and the 
curtailment in Loans are now required to keep with¬ 
in the rule. Beyond this course of agitation in the 
market ts the trouble of the Tammany King specu¬ 
lators, who for several years past have been heavy 
operators in Gold and Stocks, and especially in Erie 
Stock, and the unsettled credit of the City and Coun¬ 
ty. Some good progress has been made, however, 
in placing the City and County finances in safer 
management. Mr. Conneiav has given place to his 
new deputy, Mr. A. IL Green, without actually re¬ 
signing his commission to the Mayor. 
The Gold market has also been a disturbing ele¬ 
ment, affecting the Merchants connected with our 
Foreign trade, but on Thursday the Secretary of the 
Treasury directed the sale ol $ 6 , 020,000 Gold out nf 
the Treasury, which being nearly double the proba¬ 
ble Customs receipts of ihe week, will case the sup¬ 
ply and restore order to our Foreign exchanges. So 
seriously had these been affected that Gold began to 
be shipped to New York out of the Bankol England, 
and that great establishment on Tuesday advanced 
the rate of interest to 3 per cent, from 2 per cent, per 
annum, at which it had stood for nearly two months. 
General trade continues active, but the sudden 
change in the Money market unsettled the Stock 
Exchange, as will be seen from the following declin¬ 
ing quotations.

Butler.—With Cool weather there is it naturally 
increased demand, and 1 lie scarcity of fine or nearly 
line table grades is unfortunate, now that, wo have a 
proniiseof additional local e«ll. Palls have been pul 
up to 40c. since our last I**r selections. This is IQc, 
below this date last lull. Slate half tubs and firkins 
do not (ollow tire large improvement as rnp'dly as 
usual, owing to the scarcity ol grades that will fill 
the place nf pail*. Besides retail buyers haven set 
idea that easy price* must rule this season, and thut 
class of trade, that uses up a good deal of slock, Im¬ 
mediately run to Western, on the first intimation 
that Stave is (0 he firmer. They will pay the ad¬ 
vanced figure* readily for fresh Ohio. A higher 
Class of trade will give ]®Sc. for selections of tlrkins 
or half tub*, hut neither of this distributing trade 
will buy anything ahead. This is probably a round- 
about way to express a dull market, but matters are 
so undecided, und the actual ranges for stock In 
store and lots arriving make It difficult to speak ex¬ 
plicitly. Shippers nut buying only sparingly, and 
obtained the 1.450 package* they took last week at 
listlie.

Cheese.—An unlooked-for and wholly unexplain¬ 
ed advance abroad ha* brought the market up here 
in sympathy. The market has been pretty well cleared 
of stock, exporters buying with confidence, and ut 
much belter rate*. Theories are afloat to the effect 
thut there are strong munlpulutlonH, and that heavy 
stocks are held on the other side, with some iic-ip 
from purtios here, which, with the gold market in 
then favor, they are carrying along until n favorable 
moment arrive* for thorn to step nut. Nevertheless, 
it is generally nonBidered that dairymen are now of¬ 
fered the best opportunity for muny weeks to market 
their goods. The consumption no doubt, on the other 
side, is somewhat larger, as the trade have been *>f- 
lercd this scuson soiueof the fineBtlines ever brought 
upon the market. Exports tills week 50.17(1 boxes;
