Two million of dollars were deposited with Messrs. Dli, Ojdjke & Blatchford, subject to Cum minga's draft. . Cummings drew a quarter of ; million, ot wbicn ne says ne paid ninety tbou sand to the Union Defense Committee, for tX' peaces incurred, arid deposited one hundred and sixtv thousand to his own credit, in .ths Park Bank. Cummings employed as clerk, James Humphrey, who made a large number of par chases. He never knew Humphrey before, but took him on (he recommendation of Tburlow Weed. Cummings expended money according to bis own fancy, without consulting the Govern ment Quartermaster or Commissary, , He ex pended twenty one thousand dollars for linen panti ana straw nais, contrary to army regula tions; bought beef and pork of Erastns Corn ing tt Co . bardwara house, Albanv.'at the sug gestion of one Davidson; also bought a lot of scotcn aie, .umaon .porter, picaiee, nutter, cheeeC, codfish, bemcge, tongaee; chartered the steamer Coatzacoalcos at one thousand dol lars per day,' without .examining , her., Cum mings gave no bond, took no oath, says be turn ed over the balance money, one "million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, .to Sub Treaaurer Cisco, but subsequently says be re tained one bundrea ana lorty tnousina dollars, accounted for by vouchers.,.
