DOCKRAY'S DOINGS,

A Thrilling Tale of Trials and Trib ulations. GK0UND3 FOR A NOVEL. TUBS TREATMENT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WAS ACCORDED ON SPANISH SOIL. Dock ray 's last exploit is thus given by the New York Herald: Mr. Frederick A. Dockray, whose case was the cause of Minister Casting's demand upon the Spanish government for the former gectleman's release aDd the observance of the treaty of 1795, arrived in this city yesterday on the Adriatic from Liverpool, having escaped from Spain. It will be remembered that Mr. Dockray was condemned to death a year and a half ago in Cuba tor commcnicating with the Insurgents. The court martial was beld in Pu erto Principe, and its decision, through the intervention cf secretary b ish, was changed to sentence for life in chains in the Spanish galleys in Alrica. Mr. Dockray was, under tbia sentence, taken on the Spanish mail steamsbip Antonio Lopez to Santander, Spain, a small port in the Bay of Biscay. By the way, it might be well to note here that Mr. I) ckray, in order tbat be might live, paid $220 rat-sage money. This was done on the suggestion oi Captain General Concha tta'. if Mr. Dockray would do so he would be transferred more as a passenger than as a prisoner. On arriving at Saotander Mr. Dockray remained a month in the military prison in tbat place, and subsequently, on requ st of the American minister, was tent to Madrid instead of to a Spanish prison at Alcala, which Mr. Cusbing found was not equal' to an ordinary dog kennel. When Mr. Dockray reached aiaana tne loiiowmg order was Issued : Civil Government of Province of Madrid, Office of Secretary. The alcalde of the prison will reserve one of the preferred quarters for Mr. Dockray, taking care that be has all consideration compatible with his character as prisoner, and tbat opportunity shall be affjrded him of receiving properly visits from the Amer ican embassy ana bis friends. By order of the governor. Manuel Llina. uk is allowed an inch. Supplementary to this came the freedom of the city to Mr. Dockray on the guarantee of Minister Cashing. On these terms Mr. Dockray remained in Madrid for a month, during which 'time Mr. Cushing obtained a reversion of the sentence in the shape ot an order which sent the prisoner to the Monas tery of St. Augustine, in Valencia, where he was incarcerated for ten months. Daring this period the American legation was constantly pressing the demand ot oar govern ment lor his absolute release on the ground of the violation of the treaty of 1795 in his trial and condemnation. Here his treatment depended solely on his pecuniary re sources, official being ineffectual. At times he suffered almost starvation, and again be lived like a prince. All this misery was terminated last September by Minister Cusbing obtaining an order from the Spanish government releasing Mr. Dockray on parole, the terms being tbat the paroled should report frequently to the local officials. His limits were the town of Valencia. Under these conditions Mr. Dockray re mained in Valencia two months that is until the 1st of December. HE TAKES AN ELL. During the excitement wbicta succeeded the presentation of Mr. Cushings famous "Mem oranda" and the expectation in Spain of dif ficulties with the United States, Mr. Dockray felt that bis position even as a paroled ptisoner was insecure, inasmuch as an out break of war would have put him beyond thA pale of the American legation's good offices. So be thought gravely over the matter and came to the conclusion that he had better f-urrender his "constructive" parole. He had never been required actually to pafrs his word of honor thai he would not escape, but he regarded the pledge entered by the American embassy as equally bind ing on him. As an example of this, the eloop ni-war Alaska came into the port of Valencia la October and Mr. Dockray was a constant visitor on board of her. Had be desired to escape, be could have ess.ly then, as she was about leaving lor the coast of France and all her officers were naturally sympathizers with him. His first step toward freedom was this, the following letter: Valencia, Nov. 15, 1875. mk uy reason ot circumstances over which I have no control, and in regard to which 1 Lave delaved acting until I feel I can not honorably longer postpone action, 1 now surrender the parole ot honor under which I was released September 22, and hold myself subject to the further disposition ot the Spanish government. Respectfully yours, F. A. Dockray. To the Hon. C. Cushing, American Minister. remanded to the monastery. In reply to this communication the Amer lean consul at Valencia, Mr. Farrington, received a telegram from the American lc gation notifying him tbat the Spanish gov ernment bad ben informed of this surrender, and that it had forwarded an order remanding Mr. Dockray to St. Augustine Monastery. Oa receipt of this information through the consul, Mr. Dockray deemed himself completely absolved from any responsibility growing out of tbe parole, but, to satisfy himssll thoroughly, visited tbe local governor and inquired it any order of tbat character had been received, and, upon being Informed in the negative, decided to effect his escape at tbe first opportunity. To carry out this purpose Mr. Dockray left Valencia at daylight the next day, disguised as a peasant, and for three days was secreted on board tbe American brigL". Staples, lying in the roads. Meantime tbe alarm had gone abroad ashore and Dr.' Dockray had to endare something even worse than his incarceration in the monastery. On the' second day a French steamer bound for Marseilles was about leaving, and Mr. Dockray, feeling t at, in view of the rigid search that was being made for him, be might be discovered, determined, if possible, to get on board of her. To do this he induced the hands on board the brig to lower his boat, and in the darkness attempted to board her. He was unsuccessful. The captain and family of the biig deeply sympathzied with the refugee and offered to do all they could for him. His chances looked very black after this but be got on board of an Eagllsh steamer bound for Gibraltar, and on her succeeded in reaching a little port In Spain, fifty miles southward, called Denis. While there the Ejglhh captain grew alarmed and Mr. DwCkray went ashore, where he remained for six or eight hours. Hia chances looked black indeed; but, luckily for him, he met the captain of a felucca one of the fruit or smuggling crafts that are to be found all over the waters of the Mediterranean. This man agreed, for a skinful of wine and provisions, to fee him through, not because be was an American, hut becaus9 be bad known a mouk named Don Mariano, an old lrend of tbe skipper, tried during the troubles la Spain of 3 ears gone by across thk OCT. Mr. Dockray took pa sage with the cap tain of the lelucca, ar ein to all the terms and having purchased a passport from an Italian for f 2. This was a peculiar document, which set forth tbat its holder was an individual 57 jears old and a native of Genoa. But It answered its purpose and

was never calleJ in question. The greatest

trouble that tbe refugee experienced was durin tbe Jrip toward the coast ot Africa, whither tbe craft was bound. A storm aros9 and the light batten boat was wet from stem to etern by tbe wares into which she dived, when her canvas bad to be taken in. The utmost consternation prevailed among the crew and Mr. Dockray felt tbat he bad only fled irom one danger to dare another. The course was toward Morocco, and alter a dangerous voyage Tangiers was reached, and Mr. Dockray once more gladly stepped upon terra nrm even In a land where there was scarcely a soul who could by any possibility appreciate his situation. The weather having bsen so bad, as before described, the captain of tbe felucca did cot dare to attempt the passage scro?s the strait toward Gibraltar. In a day or two it was effected, and then, beinz on English territory, Mr. Dockray was secure. Tee Spaniards bad no farther bold upon him. He bad escaped from tbe grip o! those who would have been only too glad to have garrotted him, recording to the original sentence, or eent him to the galleys. wblcb, by tbe way. were nearer to mm at Tangiers than at any time daring his incarceration. Mr. Dockray went to London on tbe steamer Europa, and be has filed a claim agninst the Spanish government for ? 100,000 tor false imprisonment. MATRIMONIAL MULTIPLICITY. AN ADONIS ON HIS TRAVELS. A MASSACHUSETTS MAN 8 WEAKNESS FOR WIVES MARRYING AT RANDOM A SOCIAL VIPER FORGERY AND ADULTERY. The Pittsfield correspondent of the New York Sun contributes the following concern ing an Adonis who came to grief there Gen. Harrison Morgan, of Sandlsfield, Berk shire county, was fined at the Superior Court In this town, January 19. aaa sen tenced to seven years imprisonment at Cbarlestown five years for forgery and two years lor adultery. He was proved to have three wives living, to have eloped with a fourth woman, ana the wite ot another man, and to have forged the name of this woman's husband upon a bank check, with which tbe lugitlve couple abstracted 175 from bis bank account. "Gen." Morgan never earned his military title, but was so christened after Gen. Harrison. Morgan was born at Alford, received a common school education, and ten years ago, at the ge ot nineteen, became a track-driver for Barnum, Richardson & Co., the great Iron men, at Canaan, Conn. While thus employed he made the acquaintance oi a Miss Ida Tret cot, and in time became affianced to ber. Mr. Trescott warned his daughter tbat Morgan had the reputation of being insincere, but Mrs. Trescott was captivated by Morgan's appearance and manners, and openly favored tbe match. The young peo ple were married, and as a result THE GIRL'S PARENTS SEPARATED, Mrs. Trescott residiag with her son in-law and daughter. All three removed to Unlonville, Conn., a few months after the wedding, and there Morgan renewed his acquaintance with several young women whom he had known in the past. His volatile affection was at once centered upon these friends, and he admits tbat he not only lost all love for bis wife, but in a great measure be denied her bis society. Her mother frequently upbraided him about his mode of life, and finally ordered him from his home. He never returned, but joined bis father in SandUfieid, and four years later, in 1S70, became enamored of a fair young ladj a Miss Gingall and having assured her tfcat a sufficient time had elapsed since his rupture with his former wife to render the marriage binding, was wedded tbe second time. A child was born to him, and to all appearances he was living most happily, whan, upon hearicg it intimated tbat the marritge was void, he announced to Miss Gingall tiat she was not really bis wite. According t a portion of his defense, Miss Ging 11 asser led tbat she had not been by any meaos a faithful spouse, and that it was of but little moment to ber whether they parted or rutintwined their relations toward each otler. "After we talked it over a little," said -Morgan, "we agreed to separate, and about a year afterward, while I was in Alt any, I H APPENED TO SEE A LAWYER'S SIGN, and it occurred to me to ask advice at to whether I was right in leaving her. I give tbe lawyer 50 cents, and he told me the second marriage was illegal, because it was too soon after tbe first, and I bad a right to marry again." Armed with this authority, he courted a Miss Nelly Preston, who lied near Great Barrlngton, and she became bis third wite. This wedding occurred last year. At about the same time Morgan was employed to drive the stage and carry the mails between Sandistleid, Mass., and Winsted, Conn. In one of the farm bouses along tbe route live! Mr. Balcb, a dull, goxlnatured rustic, and bis wife, Emma, a young and decidedly handsome brunette. Morgan formed Mrs. Batch's acquaintance. She rode to and fro with him in the stage, and her husband looked on approvingly, apparently de lighted that bis wife could travel when and where she would for nothing. Morgan says tbat Mrs. Balcb frequently besought him to elope with her, sayiog that she could get plenty of money from her hasband. Again and again he refused her, until one day last April, three months alter his third mar riage, when she bad ridden with him to Barrlngton, she said: "General, I've GOT THE OLD MAN'S BANK BOOK. I'll write au order, draw the money, and we'll elope." By the night train north from Barrlngton, they eloped together, tourneyed as far as Detroit, epent a week there and then be tired of her, and, return ing what remained of tbe stolen money, left her, and boldly returned to Berkshire county, and rejoined his third wife, with whom be Bbortly alterward removed to New Hartford, Conn. In tbe meanwhile Mr. Balcb coli tied the sheriff of bis losses, and Morgan was found and arrested, with his third wite, in- Connecticut. The wife went with the sheriff into Berkshire county. Morgan was left in tbe care of Balcb. So hnmble was he, and so pitifully did he beg for freedom, and promise to make every possible amend for tbe wrongs be bad committed, tbat tbe simple-minded man allowed him to escape. When Balcb returned to his home be found bis wife there, begging to be restored to bis affection, and with tbe same good nature he at once forgave her. Three months later, in December last, Morgan completed a fruit less tramp through New Jersey and New York, returning to bis father's house in Sandlsfield, where be was ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED. Police Justice Pease beard the complaints and put both Morgan and Mrs Balch under bonds to appear before the superior court in Pittsfield. Mrs. Balcb escaped trial by vol unteering ber testimony before tbe grand iury. Daring tbe trial both second and third wives testified In Morgan's behalf, and Mis. Balch aided the prosecution. She swore tbat he stole ber husband's bank book, forged tbe check, and prevailed upon ber to get it cashed and run away with him Morgan's manner showed tbat be had no conception of the wrong be bad done In en stracging Mr. and Mrs. Balch or In multiplying his wlveB. He declared again and gain that be was Innocent ot tbe forgery, but Saerlff Mcoreand Mr. Balch both swore tbat at the time of tbe arrest be bad confessed tbe crime to them. The tblrd Mm. Morgan displayed tbe warmest affection for the prisoner, embracing him and sobbing in his arms when the sentence was passed upon mm.

AN OBJECT OP CONTEMPT.

The Party of Power and Plunder. IN A PRETTY PREDICAMENT. INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE SCHEMES OP 8COCNDR.ELS ALMOST UNIVERSALLY IMPLICATE TUB ADMINISTRATION AND ARB DECRIED BY THE PARTY AS ATTACKS ON THK GOVERNMENT. Special Correspondence or the Ben tin el. Washington, D. C, Feb. 13, 1876 Whethor or not Darwin' missing link is discovered by scratching a Frenchman, certain it is that by gently probing the numerous sore places of tbe republican party and abradlrg tbe cuticle ol tbe various and multitudinous thievingrings infesting tbe party of splendid civil service, the back of the administration comes directly to view. When the gold panic, that scandal of the nation, was Investigated by a committee of congress, and twenty-five thousand dollars was traced to the White House it was discovered that the whole shameless transaction was inaugurated in order "to move the crops." Then tbe subject was dropped and glossed over, lor lear the "parly" would suflerl And In fact tbe investigation was a blow at tbe administration. When the Irregular practlcf s, commonly called frauds, of Leet, Stocking & Murphy, at the New York eastern bouse, were proposed to be looked into, again the investigation was stigmatized as an effort to injure tbe party and cast odium on tbe administra'ion. When Shepherd and his plundering rings were overhauled and all tbe euriace indications pointed directly to tbe west end of the avenue, and tbe trail was leading straight to Hiram, immediate n tbe bounds were called off. Too cloto inspely tion Implicated the purest alminctration since tbe days of ' Washington t Again, when tbe festering carbuncles fairlji blooming, in the interior department, under Grant's darling Dalano, were supposed to need a little airlng.tbe bare suspicion of corruption was an Infamous attack on the gracelets figure head now ornamenting tbe office of president. Murphy, Shepherd and Delano, all ot unsavory memory, were duly certified as exceptional patriots, and they are even yet cherished as worthy friends of tbat patriotic stupidity his excellence. And finally passing over the depredations of Cresweli, Robeson and Belknap, now ander investigation by committees of the House, we find the latest reflection on the adminis tration in the developments of whisky rings, " Let no guilty man escape" was doubtless intended as a joke and as a campaign clap trap Dy the man on horse back. Bat luckily tbe present bead ot tbe treasury not sufficiently skilled In political jugglery baa pushed tbe joke too far to retrace bis steps, and as a consequence be has brought upon himself tbe displeasure of tbe administration. WHAT A SPECTACLE! The president of the United States, in this centennial year of grace, not only consorting with and harboring infamous scoundrels against whose appointment be was duly warned, but standing In with them on the eve of their conviction, and manifesting unteemly disapproval of honest officials wbo;e Bworn duty it is to send the thieves to the penitentiary. No wonder It is thought necessary to investigate tbe elections of Mississippi, get up a howl over Jeff. LMVis and wave the crimson banner. In order to amuse tbe American people and di vert meir attention irom the frauds, thefts and putrid sores of a party and an adrninl ration which for organized corruDtton urns ballenge comparison with ansthiii in re corded history. It is needless to encumber the CTiuaiES or the Sentinel with rehearsal ot the small gossip touchng pre-ident making, or cf the utnors afloat recardirgimmaterial 6uhi9cts. In papstrg, however, it may not be amiss to uote th fact, uot deputed iu sources well nlormed, that the administration's back is up that tbe political goose, trom the republican party ttandpoint, dees not, in tbe classical language ot McDonald, "bang alti tudilum." and that tbe "true inwardness" of tbe party of power and plunder is being uncovered and its hopeless demoralization assured Coold our unsophisticated Hoosler grangers realizs the bottom facts of tbe icfamous corruptions pervading every branch of the government, they would unite with cheering unanimity, regardless of their past condition ot party servitude, in visiting upon the doomed party, "a section otthe day of judgment." It would be amusing, if be subject were not too serious lor levity, to listen to bead sachems of tbe party gravely tel'.citating themselves tbat tbealministraion is purifying Itself, tbat tbe republicans are tbe only partisans who have ever at tempted to cleanse their rottenness. Tbe truth is, tbeparty being essentially saturated with the virus ot rottenness, the sporadic shedding off ot effete corruption, no more proves a cleansing process than tbe falling off of small maggots from a putrid carcass is evidence of returning soundno. All the purification has either been the result of merest accident and unintentional, or has been only a seeming, from the fact that the phenomenon has only been tbe sloughing off of surface putresence, owing to the interior being Id like condition. No post mortem Is needed to reveal the true condi tion ot things. Only a very si ght vlvi section does the business. Harper's Weekly seems to reflect some lucid moments, and a return to partial eanity. Its editor not only admits the facts herein charged, but gives as their cause, Morton, Conkling. Chandler. Logan. Blaine and tbat BEVY CF SWEET-SCENTED PATRIOTS, and Insists with patriotic arder upon the 'clcsa retirement" not only ot Ulysses, but of all tbe fraternity named, eeemlngly forgetting tbat its suggestions carried out would leave nothing desirable of tbe party. Its most cherished friends would not recog nize tbe organization deprived of Its idol iztd leadrs. The Christian gentlemen desig nated have tbe party by tbe throat, and 6eem determined to Doia on wnn a aeam er Id. and tbe only remedy left for the suffer ing public is to amputate tbe dog's tall by nuttine in tbe knlte just behind Its ears, The displacement of Barclay, late journal clerk of the Bouse, has given adminlstra tion organs occasion to do a little gratuitous howllnar. When any government cmciai persuades himself that the stability of tbe universe depends upon blm then is tbe time for bis judicious retiracy. He seemed determined to load himself down with tbe heavy weight of a very offen slve assistant by tbe name of Clay .am arHt ha. ha1 thA TfirfitaFlnn kj , W wmv v wv..w mm of infamous lobbyist and general utility man and eavesdropper, from Matyland, and be tried to pull through a certain musical-voiced. Meboffey, a reading clerk. The wheels of government do not seem to be seriously affected by tbe change, and when It is considered bow free from taint ot disloyalty all the departments are, whining comes with bad grace from tbe administra tion party at tbe displacement or barnacles who have enjovea omciai position lor nuarter ot a century. That exemplar ol total abstinence. Chandler, it must be con fessed, is an improvement, if not in personal morality, at least In honesty, on Delano, and Dion Pot, as tbe secretary eietig natea the editor ot the "Capital," seems Inclined to treat this official with more respectful consideration. Tne Forty-fourth Congress bids lair to be a long one. The unearthing of depredations on tbe treasury is entailing much-deeded labor on committees, and when the invest!-

gations shall be completed, tbe people will be presented with a mats of corruption and peculation tbat will be perfectly astonishing. The commissioner of internal revenue, under certain influences, seems bent on retaining the worse than ueeles supervisors to useful on the eve of a Dretddential electiocül Bat they will have to go, they serve only as;ornamntlstrengtbeners of whisky rings, and if they were all with McDonald tbe condition of the treasury would be healthier.

CHARGES AND COUNTER CHARGES. AN APPLE OF DISCORD A DE8PRR4TK CHASR AFIER A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE. The New Orleans Timos of Saturday saye: Perhaps no case which bas been before our courts for a long time ba t excited tnoie general interest than the Ualpin cae. From the opening of tbe case ULtil the present time there has been growing an indefinable suspicion that there was something in the case that would not bear the light of truth. In view of the Importance which tbe ca-e has assumed, it may not be uninteresting to present a few of the charges and counter charges of parties who hare in one way or another been connected with thecase. These charges may seem a little peculiar because they are made by parties who are lawyers and' detectives, and who, it is said, have heretotore been associated on different occasions in working up claims and other busineas transactions. On January 29 h, last, R. Stewart Dannee, of tbe city of New Orleans, appeared before W. L. Evans, judge of tbe First Municipal Police Court, and made an affidavit to Ih effect tbat he had resson to believe, and did verily believe tbat James F. Cunningtam, also of tbe city of New Orleans, promised to Isaac W. Falls, seventh Jostice otthe peace in and for tbe parish ni Orleans, a certain bribe and reward to influence bis behavior in office, viz: A piece ot real estate valued at 15,000, more or less, in order to obtain tbe itsuance by him of a fraudulent certificate of marriage; that this offer was made on or about the 19th day of May, 1875. The case was transferred by Judge Evans to tbe court of Judge Falls. The case bas been set twice for a hearing tbe last time on February 10. It was continued to February 15 At tbe last continuance Judge Thompson sat in place of Judge Falls, as it appears that Judge Falls is one of the principal WITNESSES FOR THE PROSECUTION. It seems that when testimony was being taken in tbe Halpin case, Judge Falls was called by the defense as a witness for the purpose of showing tbat tbe claimant, Mrs. Dalton, had made application to hi m for a marriage certificate alter the death of Patrick Halpin. The testimony ot Judge Falls was to tbe effect that a man whom be recogn:z?d as Cunningham and a woman whom be did not recognize, called upon him at his office and stated to him that a man had recently died in tbe city who bad left a large estate amounting to 100,000 or f 200,000; tbat tbe deceased had for a lojgtlme before bis death been living with a woman who was sup posed by almost every one who knew tbem to be bis wi:e; tbat all tbat was needed by A. 1 . tne woman to secure mis large esta'e was a marriage certificate. Judge Falls said tbat they wanted him to furnish tbe certificate, dated at a period shortly before tbe death of the man whom they wished to represent as having been married at tbe time of his death; that for this service they offered him a pieco of real estate known as the "Charm coffae-house." A. F. WI' D CHARGED WITH FEBJCRY. Oa the 29th of January, II. Stewart Dennee appeared before tbe Second Municipal Court and made an affidavit to the effect "ItSftÄ tx tween Arne Ben" j aue heirs ol Patrick Ualpin, In this that the said Wild, on or about tne S'-b of December, 1875, being duly sworn, testified as follows: "I remained there till the lady left Mr. De need's office. went to Mr. Deon66'a office on the occa'.on relerred to, to meet him and Mr. Qamage in regard to the Cleveland and Mill's case. I don't know how long alter Mr. Dnnee lound out that I was acting aa detective lor tbe government; I told him ol it about four wee Ks aller. I was the agent of tbe United States iu pointlog out the trne cbaraster of the Cleveland and Mills case." STKWART DENNEE CHARGED WITH PEBJTBT. On February 6, 1674, Peter F. Kendall made an affidavit that R.
