The two speciao charges are that on May 14, 1877, he passed a case of kid gloves as glass-ware, and on May 26th a ease of silk umbrellas also as glass-ware.

the olcerence ut dunes amounting to some $300, which be kept The goods were shipped by Benedict of. Vienna, to Bernbard Benedict, American representative of the House In Chicago. The invoices' were al way made correctly in Hamburg, and sent to Moeller; but Moeller wrote ont fraudulent ones for goods ot leas raluo. and In small amounts, and while charging Bene dict tbe full duty, pocketed the difference. The in voices he presented were, of course, always unver ified bnt he had numerous excuses for this omission, aad as he waa well known a a Custom-house broker his excuses were always accepted, especially as be swore to tha truth of the "invoices presented by him.

Before tbe transaction of May 26th. Benedict be gan to suspect Hoellers way of doing business was crooked." May 26th, Mr. Benedict waa In this dry, and. In order to obtain his goods, was about to pass the genuine Invoice for the umbrellas. Moeller told him.

however, not to do it, as be had already passed an invoice for a case containing glass. Be said it was all right, aud Benedict waa Induced to remain silent. The goods were sent to Chicago, but Benedict became afraid of getting into trouble, and finally lodged information with the author! lles-ln Chlcoo." A few days ago he arrived in this city with Special Agent Htnea, of Chicago. and, on his Information, Moeller waa arrested this morning. He waa at ence taken before cnitea Sixes Commissioner Shields, who held him in avouobail.

From letters and memorandum fonnd in bis possession and sent to different parties, it seems Moeller has beers engaged lo defrauding tbe Government for at least fire years back, it also appears he has bad an accomplice in tne (joiiector omce. since be speaks in some letters of baring unusual facilities for passing goods through the Customhouse. The Deputy IMstrict Attorney, who has charge oi the case, thinks the evidence against loeucrano tne cnances oi cringing mm to punishment are as strong as they can be. since, aside from the issuine of fraudulent invoices, be is also guilty of perjury in swearing to their truth.

Nrw Oh.s-s.kb, February ll Tbe Custom house officials who resisted the arrest of Anderson purged themselves of contempt, and were discharged by Judge Whlttakec Ex -Governor Warmoth, who Is a member of the Boose of Representatives; raised, the wind to-day by Introducing a resolution Instructing the Judiciary Committee to- Inquire and report whether the prosecution, -of the Returning Board was not a violation of the joint resolution' adopted at the extra session of 1877, before Warmoth had gone over to the Nicholls Legislature. This provoked stormy debate. It will come np again to-morrow for discussion and final when one and perhaps two Conservatives will rapport It The joint resolution alluded to was adopted on April promulgated on vie 30th, after the visiting states men had been senkJier. Tbe resolution Indorses lis yes' Inaugural add closes as follows: "Tbat In honestly restoring the prosperity of Lou isiana, the Nicholl's Government will discountenance any attempted persecution from any quarter, of ant individuals, for past political oflensea." Anderson irienaa nere ana at nasmngwa ww strtie thai to mean "prosecutions;" and those here say tbe agreement waa nrst made at Mormiey in Washington, between the Louisiana managers and the Uayea manatee's, aud that ta that consultation tha word "prosecutions" waa used.

Tbey claim-, too, tbat Hayes will hold Klcholls to the strict letter of the agreement. Recently parties on both aides at Washington have denied publicly that any agreement whatever waa made between the Hayes managers and Louis iana, and even the Chandler letters nave tailed to bring that agreement to ligbt; but a reierence to a dispatch of April 7, 1877, published in the Enqcirkb of the following day, will show tbat there was. Tbe Information conveyed in that dispatch was from.

CoLusrars, February 14. The Committees oa Canals and Pnblie Works of tha two Houses bad a meeting la the Attorney-General' office to-night. tojrrestle with the conundrum of what shall we do with the leasees and their contract with the 8 tale? And after a pow wow oi nearly threw hours agreed to give it During the day the Sub-Committee appointed laat night had a conference with Parrot the Re ceiver on tbe part of the It is pes, and received from him an alternative proposition to sea all the tools. boats, dredge-boats, end Implements for or the Board of Public Work to appoint one ap praiser, the lessees another, and these two a third.

wbo shall value the property, and the lessees to take one-half of the value agreed upon. In either case, all suits or claims for damages on either side to be withdrawn, aad the laasess to be allowed to go without further cost, Tbe meeting of to-night was to consider this proposition, and. it possible, to determine upon some plan to settle the points at issue amicably. General 8 teed man. Chairman of the Senate Com mitteecalled the Committee to order, and Repre sentative Sawyer read the proposition by Mr.

Par- rott. In connection will) It he presented a schedule of the property belonging to the lessee. In the list waa enumerated four steam dredge-boats, one horse-power dredge, five boarding boats, twenty repair boats, twenty horses and mules, one steam' boat, one steam pile-driver, two pilo-drivers, horse power, several scows, S00 or 400 wheel-barrows, a large quantity of picks and shovels and an Immense lot of other stun required. The cost value of none of them was put down on the list, and the value of it could only be estimated by making diligent In qnlries. Attorney-General Pillars said that the cause al leged by the leasees -for the abandonment of the canals was the filling np of the basin at Hamilton.

This bad been authorized, he admitted, by a law passed by the Legislature; but the lessees had their remedy in a suit for damages. If they had sustained any injury. They had further claimed that the bridging oi a branch of the canal at Dayton bad been a serious injury to them but in this eat also, tbey bad their remedy iu the Conns. When they abandoned tbe canals tho Attorney-General, Mr. Little, bad entered suit against them for 000 87, tbe amount of their rent from the first of December until tbe flirt of June, and this suit was the one which was to decide their authority to abandon the public works.

Mr. Clough offered a motion that the Joint Com mittee report to the Legislature by a jolut resolu tion requiring the Board of Public Works to resume control of tha canals. In doing so he said he offered the motion simply to test the temper of the Committee. Senator Jackson hoped that ao action would be taken at this time binding the State. He thought a settlement could be made that would be made satisfactory.

Mr. Wilson said that money would be required, and It would be well enough to make an appropria tion: for these receivers ouaht not. without know ing the value of the property and without knowing the damage that might oe done, to make a settlement with the lessees. Mr. Lord asked the Attorney-General whether the result of these stilts waa ao uncertain asHo re--quire a comftromiae to secure the interests of the State? Attorney-General Pillars answered: "While we feel confident in our minds, every body here knows the uncertainty of lawsuits.

All 'matters of law are apt to be uncertain. As a matter of policy, it might be well for tbe State to consider the proposition. The lease will expire iu 1881, and within year or two the Legislature will have to prepare to assume control of them." On the whole, he thought It better that the State should consider the proposition. Senator Lord aald It would be an easy matter to make an appraisement. As to the que tlon of damages, that would probably bring along tedious lawsuits.

The appraisement wouldn't take a week, and the matter of damages wouldn't be likely to amount to much. Every business ma wonld-real-ize this. He believed thai it was best for the Stale to come in and assume control. Steedman asked tbe Attorney-General If the Legislature should make an appropriation, wouldn't it prejudice the suits already commenced. Ueneral Pillars answered that it certainly would.

Tbe auit was entered for advance rent for six months, from December 1st, not for back rent, if the State should now step In and take control nf the canal and appropriate money It would be a rar to a collection of the reut during the But then it would not necessarily be a bar to tne col lection of damaires. I Senator Steedman had no faith In being able to collect one dollar against these men for damacrea. If it was a mere question of law. It would be differ ent: but In Questions of fact tbey could always swear the State one He wouldn't give a snap of bis finger for all tbey would ever get out of these Keceivera. He had no love for thdse lessees, bnt he didn't feel like spitting against the wind to have it blown back in bis face.

He wouldn't vote togive a dollar to these keeivers either: but If the canals were taken from their hands ne wouia be willing to vote money to the Board of Public Works to en able tnem to taae tne canais and run tnem. Representative Sawyer raid that there was no Im mediate danger, at least for three or four weeks; bnt sometblntr ouabt to be done. He snreested the appointment of a Committee to examine the property, and also learn what damage bad been dona to the canal. Senator Lord was In favor of taking the bull by the horns He waa in favorof the State taking possession of the canals. and when she control once it might be determined what to do with them.

Tbe State could not anoro to aaopt any temporising policy when such vast interests were at stake. They could never collect ang damages from these men. The claim for damages, in bis opinion, wasn't worth a snap of the finger. As to the proposed plan of huntina up these damages. It wouldn't be a job of a few weeks, but of many mouths, and wound Involve taking testimony in every county through wbicn tne canais pass, ano tne investigating of fifteen years of business of the lessees, senator Howland asked Uie Attorney-General how long it would take to reach a decision of the case if it was carried up to the Supreme Court, and was answered If the decisions were promptly made it would take shout two months.

Representative Covert said that It was apparent that no compromise could be made under one or two months, and the time for making repairs would be arround before it could be reached. The canals must be kept' up, and to do this tbey must have money, lis inougnt tnat it would be proper for this loinmiltee to recommend an appropriation for the present time, with the understanding tbat it was to be repaid out of tbe first money from rents. Howland didn't want to have tbe suite aban- dnnMl -whabiver else miaht decided uml Senator Grove said he knew something about tbe vol ue of some of tbe property tne lessees proposed to turn over. Tbe dredice-boata cost when new 9.000 to SI 1.000 each. Tbey were Drubably worth all tbey asxed for tnem.

He is not orthodox, but indifferent, aad clergymen or men of science or eloquent doubters are all equal with him. He is not in perfect health, but of an lnterestiiut mind and talk. There is no country with such a range of character as this: the republic is seated In every skull, the democracy wherever two men meet. Turning to Ingersoll I see a man of rather animal presence, or with all tbe signs of good living and fine health, a frame rather lanre and filled no with a belly sizable, but not groasr He stands five feet eleven, weighs two hundred and twenty-five pounds, bas a ngnt temperament and complexion and a perfectly hairless face, with thin fair-and- gray hair on the growing baldness of the medium intellectual head.

Robert J. Ingersoll was the son of a Con cress tional clorgvman, born near fJtica. New York, and removed to Illinois about 1943. He became a law yer and politician, and advanced the opinions he- sun noias ever since a young man. incy prevented bis gaming distinguL'ned political nonors, but did not operato atiainst bis getting a regiment the kJeveuin Illinois uavairy at tne beginning of tbe war.

He baa very general reauluK, ano nis boidneas of opinion ex tends to men whom he estimates at nrst hand, without reference to current superstition. The habit of forming original opinion has been, perhaps, to the sacrifice of bis charity and discretion, Looking chiefly for intellectual force, he recognizes little else as merit. Being himself a man of health and enjoyment, be creates a religion upon tbat, for- retting that there are many of imperfect health and inferior confidence who derive consolation from other than visible things.

Finding abnegation of religion to give him satisfaction, he does not see many wbo live in tne comfort oi what to him is a delusion. He resents the treatment of; men of f.irce bat of aggressive unbelief -by ecclesiastical literature, and being thoroughly an American. takes ThiHnas Paine to be the most belied. He lacks patience with men of Inferior expression and holds that Washington was of leas mental con' sequence than Paine.
