A SCHOLARLY SCAMP.

Eint)'i Political YiSTaTii3 ti-Cieri & Blaine Mia. How Sir. Anctln II. Brown, tin Indiana Democrat, Detected II ie Rscadly Operation in Washington. I Washington Special to Ealtimore San. Arthur J. Harvey, the late treasury ofSciai convicted and sentenced for forgery of horse claims, will leave for Albany, N. Y., next week, where he la to remain In tue penitentiary for twelve years. The magnitcde and character of the frauds perpetrated by this accomplished scholar and esthetic gentleman are but little understood by the public. With the exception of a few casts only, all of these claims wire founded upon forged papers placed on file in lC and 1?-S7, but bearing Imitation date-stamps of December, 1SS3, and January, lfsS4. thus giving them the semblance of a flliig within the time fixed by statute of limitation. At the time of actual Cling they were barred and worthless. The imaginary claimants were made to assume a legal status by an ingenious method. The forger evidently obtained copies of the puoiished ciücial records of Pennsylvania and New Jersey organizations. These gave the military history of their officers, with notations of the engagements in which they participated. Finding that certain field cthcers were in the same action, one of these was made a claimant, and two others his witnesses of the imaginary loss of a horse '".tilled in battle," These witnesses in turn became applicants, and the ethers testified in their cases. Thus testimony was fabricated that many horses were "ihet from under" their rider?, whereas, in fact, cone were 'so lost. Each officf r made elaim for at least two horses at $200 each. In this manner Uarvey would take ud regiment after regiment and fabricate all the claims possible. When fields cCIcers were exhausted he took up cavalry regiments and worked up claims for company officers in like manner. "With all h!s skill, however, he made some mistakes. Many of these officers now known to be dead were made to appear on earth as living claimants, and as such ware sworn to and signed affidavits long after tieath. General William McCandiess, a noted Pennsylvania politician who had been dead over four years, and General James H. McCabe, well known in New "iorir, and wto deceased about a year ato were amoDg these trouget to life by Harvey to aid him in ir"s peculation. Chief Brooks, of tlia secret service bureau, found in a desk in Harvey's house all the necessary appliances for forgery, including many different colored inks and kinds of pens, appliances m blank prepared by hec tcgrapnic process, rubber stamps used to mark and aniedat3 papcr3 filed in the offices of the second and third auditor and quartermaster general, seals of various imaginary notaries public, forged certificates from the second auditor verifying signatures, which Harvey had filed and then abstracted from the papers after allowance, etc He also found letter-heads of V. W. Wynn, the double of Harvey, wno came upon the stage eighteen months ao as a claim attorney. Ia his private safe were fotnd many books and papers throwing light upon his methods. Borr e Washington correspondents of Republican papers have endeavored to break the force of the discovery of these forgeries and 10 weaken the point made that a Democratic administration could and would pux.ish its own officers when caught in wrtDg-doirg by declaring that the aiscoyeiy cf theee frauds was first made by an old clerk, who is a Republican, and that it was he who first called the attention of the present chief of division tu the fraud. Austin IT. Brown, Harvey's successor, when asked by The Sun correspondent if there was any truth in the statement, said: "As to the honor of this discovery I make no particular claim. I am not troubled in mind as to what hss been said about it to belittle my efforts to bring Harvey tc iustice. I know that the second and third auditors, the chief of the secret service and tte Secretary of the Treasary are well rcquainted with the facts and know whs rendered the service. I did my whole duty, and with no malice towards Harvey. In fact it was several days before any suspicion was had that he was the guilty party. On the fifth day after I went on doty I noticed peculiarities and appearances of too mach care in the preparation of the Wynn claims case?. Bei Lg a green band engaged ia learning my business, I became quite ciitical in examinations. I had laid aside s few marked cases of peculiar signatures, with the intention of visiting oSices whers rolls containing genuine signatures were kept, and then making comparison. While thus trgeged I came upon a paper signed by a name different from the one given in the bedy cf the paper. Mr. Wynn had rxade a mistake. I called the clerk up who had parsed the claim and exhibited the papers to him. He has since voluntarily given me a written statement, from which I quote: 'iir. Crown Bent for ma and called my attention to the discrepancy. I then informed Mr. Brown that the matter discovered by him bad fscsped my notice, owing to the fact that I had been harried in the adjustment of a large number ot similar claims not by tte auditor, bat by Mr. Hsrvey while he had been chief of the division. This circumstance, I believe, led Mr, Brown to commence an investigation, which resulted in finding that the claim referred to and a large number of others were fraudulent, and filed by Oscar J. Harvey under the assumed name of W. W. Wynn. I am not conscious that I am entitled to any credit for the discovery made by Mr. Brown.' " The public has had some intimation as to the influences which secured Harvey s appointment over the protest ot Governor Curt in. These were not political, but were social, old college and fraudulent society influences altogether. He made no pretense to ever having been a Democrat or a Mugwump. It Is now known that he was a blatant Republican. Among the papers found In his desk at hts residence was a manuscript copy of a Blaine and Logan speech in the hand-writing of and on the last page bearing the signature of Oscar J. Harvey, with this note: ''8 :S0 p. m., banday, 2ath September, 18S1, Wilkesbarre. Pa." On the first page are pasted pictures of Blaine and Logan. Whether the speech was ever delivered is cot known, but the following extracts from it will convince the reader that oflall the claims fabricated by Oscar J. Harvey, that by which he obtained a $2,000 office under a Demorcatic administration la the most fraudulent one: "Let the Democrats make as much noise and display as they like. Big banners and bigger bands make no rotes. Fortunately the Republican ;party!has as its national standard-bearers in this fight men whose selection was no Occident. Never since I rtmeicber, never since yon remember, did a great party present so grand a ticket as was presented in Chicago last June for the aucrage of the American people. Never! A ticket with no tail; a ticket with a head at both ends. And these candidates are not -a arc norses.' metr names are famous. I tell you, my friends, the Amer lean people have just cause to love James G. Blaine, because in his every fibre he love a America, lie oeuevee in the policy of protection to native industry. Com. pared with Cleveland physically Blaine is a small man, but be baa more brains to the pquare itch than Cleveland and Hen dricks combined. I know that it is possible to make circus lemonade with out lemons, church oyster stews without oysters, but I do not know that It is possible to make a statesman without brains. It jj ur-JCTS fox Cleyelaxa .to pose as ft

Vhy is It : Because they nave no conudence in iU integrity. It is because it is rotten to the very center and core, in the language of George Will am Curtis, it is a party that 'cow attempt) to sneak back to power as a conspiracy for plunder and spoils.' The Democratic party of to-day is a political tramp, cradling up to the back door of the Executive Mansion beg ging for food. The Democratic party is huncry acd very thirsty. It is all teeth and empty stomach. They tell us that the Republican party is corrupt; that office and power have made it so. They want effice and power, and at the same'timethey tell us that it Is cilice and power that have made us corrupt. If this is so, let us keep them pure, and keep theru in the path of reform by keeping them in the minority." OSCAR J. HARVEY. The TVIXe of the Dlahoneat Official Return to Oer Mother.

These who saw and recognized Mrs. Harvey mentally contrasted this home coming of hers with the brilliant occasion seven years ago, when she left Westchester a proud and blushing bride. Never before or since were wedding festivities here conducted upon such a grand scale.

AMONG THE BOXERS.

Tte Battle tilt Smith, ud KJrtia are to Fight h Spain. SalllTan not Satlifled With Hli Enforced Retirement From the Bins Stage Notes and Personal. In the articles of agreement for an international cham pioDthi p match between Jake Kilrain and Jem Smith, the Englishman got everything he asked for, and the match may be said to have been well made on his side at least. That there may be a fair field and no favor, and that the best man may win, is the ardent aspiration of every true sportsman. That the best man and the winner may be Kilrain is the hope of all patriotic Americans. That the match has not caused a tithe of the excitement that was created by the coatest between John C. Hcenan, "the Eenecia Boy," and Tom Saycrs is patent to all, and that the lact that Sullivan is cot the champion who is to represent the btars and Stripes is the reason ot the apparent apathy of sporting men is equally plain. Besides, international matches, or matches between the best men of Great Britain and America, have been commoner in late years than they were formerly, and tbat is another reason for the lack of interest' in the present aflair. There are features about the present match which do not recommend it to public confidence. I don't say there is anythirg wrong, or that any wrong is contemplated, but I do say that the public cannot see why there should be any limitation to the cumber of spectators permittel to be present. It is understood that there is no law against prize fighting iu Spain. Why, then, should there be any objection to any one who is willing to go to the expenss of money and time necessary being present and witnessing the battle? It may be an swered that Kilrain, being the stranger of the two and the furthest from his home, would have the fewest partisans if all were permitted to attend. I doubt if this is a valid objection or one that will hold water. Americans will give quicker, and more than any other people on the face of the earth, and the more friends Jake would bave at the ring side the better he would eeL However the die is ca3t, the match is made, and the Eaglish will not recede one iota from its terms. I do cot want to tbrow any cold water on the match, and I co hope that it will be conducted fairly acd manfully on botn sides. There have been a good many hard stories about Sullivan afloat lately. He deserves credit for his long abstinence from nquor, and it Is sincerely to be hoped that he may have the moral strength to cocquor his appetite for It hereafter. I tear thst John is anything but satisfied with his enforced retirement from the ring. ie naturally dislikes the idea of seeiEg Jake Kilrain announce as cham pion, and the fact tbat Jake is to have a chance to fight Smith mnst be gall and wormwood to mm. bmith had promised him the first chance, and John longed for the chance cf stowing how much superior he was to England's best man. 8:eedy, for some reason or other, has little or no confidence in Sullivan's broken arm, and has done all m his power to prevent him nom fighting again. In so doing he has, I feel sure, nothing but Sullivan's interests at heart ; but if the arm Is as well as Sully ceciares it is, and if the big fellow will train down to 210 pounds, I think Tat is making a mistake in keeping him back. It ia tullivsn, the pugilist, that the public admire. They don't want him a bravo, a bully, or a drunkard, but they don't care a snap for him in the role of Sir Elegant uentieman. Jf John Intends remaining in the ring, he will have an excellent opportunity of announcing the fact when the belt is girded around his loins. I would like to see him take the conceit out of Smith, and so would all of you. I take no stock in the report that Pat Bheedy had made a proposition to Joe Lancon, whereoy he was to receive $230 for lettirg Sullivan knock him out in one round at the exhibition in Boston on Monday night. The object of the arrangement, it is said, was to show that Sullivan could whip Joe. whereas it took Kilrain a hard battle to conquer him. Sullivan has plenty of faults, but he has altered greatly if crookedness has been added to the list. I I think he would have no trouble in doing Lannon on the dead level in one round if be was so inclined, but the probabilities are that the story was started to injure him in public estimation. S alii van is no saint, and Sheedy can't make people believe him one, but he is a dead square man, aiid no one can "arrange a fight for him. The Charley Mitchell-Gallagher fight endtd as the talent expected. Ktddy proved himself a rattiics Rood man for his avoir depois, but he will have to eat a sack or two more of potatoes before he can trot in the first class of fighters. Peter Nolan, of Cincinnati, did a plucky thirg in standing up at the ring side and cbaliengirg either Mitchell or Kilrain. As Jake has a match on hand, of course he can hardly be expected to accept, but there is co obstacle in Mitchell's way. Peter is very anxious to get on with the handsome Englishman, and he ia dead eure that he can whip him. There is co doubt that he will give him a rattling fight, and in a go to a finish he ought to have an equal chance With him. Progress is all that can be reported in the Jack Burke-faddy Kyan fight. Sporting; Farrago. The Maryland Jockey Club offers many rich purses for Its fall meeting. Tommy Warren wants to fight Ike Weir, the Belfast Spider, for $250 a aide. Mona is getting back her speed, and will cow be dangerous in all short races. It is stated that the four-oared crew of the Toronto club will go to England this fail. McFarlane. of McKeesport, wants to fight Tatsey Farrell, and Joe Pudge is after Billy Kelly. It is e ipectad the pquadron of the N. Y. Y. C. will cruise to Halifax for the jubilee regatta. Billy Madden may accept the challenge of John P. Clow on behalf of Charley Mitchell. Joe Ridge is considering the challenge of Jack Dougherty, a featherweight of Bayonne, N. J. If Jack Burke docs not eo to Australia he will soon fight Ileddy Gallagher ten rounds in Cleveland. John L. Sullivan has been on a spree for a fortnight and Is quarrelling with his manager, Pat Sheedy. The oew Manhattan Jockey Club will exclude horses that have been raced on a half-mile track, or for less than $000. Gallagher's next match, if Barke does cot go to Australia, which is probable, will be with the Irish lad. And it will be of ten rounds. A cumber of strong clubs, including the very strong Crescent Athletic, are joining the American Football Union, which plays under inter-collegiate rules.

On her return the Spider gave her twenty-five cents more, and then sailed into the old lady's persecutors. By this time a large crowd had collected, and viewed the battle with the most in tense relish.

About 9 o'clock in formation was received that the jury in tne Doocner trial had reached a conclusion. Instantly the courtroom was in commo tion, while the people in the corridors and along the sidewalks were ou the tip-toe of expectation. The eleven defendants some pale and nervous, others defiant stepped to their row of black chairs iust as the jurors entered. The loud buzz of excited conversation ceased with startling sudden ness. All of the jary avoided look irg in the direction of the accused, and the latter after an eager glance by one or two adopted similar tactics. The faces of the talesmen were ominously grave. When the verdict was handed in, and the clerk, with trembling voice, announced one alter another of the entire eleven guilty, the delendants seemed rooted to their chairs, the very embodiment of despair. Then began the list of penalties: "Commissioner McClaughrey, two years." There was a start of surprise among the spectators. The extreme penalty of the law was three years aud a fine ot $1C0. Nothing less had been expected by the majority of those present 'Ucmmteh'.oner Uachs, two years," read the clerk, and the defendants began to look up. Commissioners Leydon, Van Pelt, Wren and Wasserman, Warden Varoell all got two years, and everyone looked relieved except wren, lie turned pale and seemed dazed, ihe crowd was now prepared for any surprise and it came speedily in the statement, "Commissioner McCarty, Oliver, Casselman and Geils, a fine of $1,000." A look of unmistakable exultation took possession of the countenance of Buck McCarthy, who had throughout the trial acd for months previous been the most conspicuously attacked of all the crowd. "I move that the jury be polled," shouted the Irrepressible McCarthy. It was done and immediately those of the defendants who had escaped with a fine were released on ball. The others were remaadtd to jail. A motion for a new trial of every one was quickly entered by tho defendant's attorney, Alexsnder Sullivan, and then the crowd melted away in -.vondsr. Dnricg the long wait Commissioner Mc Carthy, one of the defendant" came to the door of the room In which they were under guard. He was in his shirt sieaves. very red in the face and very talkative. It was plain that he had been drinking neavily. WaEserman and Van Pelt also showed signs ot bavirg tarried at the bottle. Apparently ell the defendants expected to go to jail be fore morning and were carousing tj keep up tceir spirits. the first two ballots oi tne lury were on the question of guilt. The first billot stood 11 to 1 for conviction, and the second 12 to nothing for conviction. Ballots were then taken on the question of punishment. The first ballot stood 9 for three years ou all, 2 for two years on all and 1 for $1,000 fine on all. The second ballot was the same as the first. The third ballot resulted in a compromise and a verdict was ren dered. A DISASTROUS DEFEAT, Texas Antl-FrohlhitloDtets Claim a Major ity of 100,000, Galvestow, Aug. 5.
