It appears that tbo h State liauway employed an Inspector t< stamp such goods as had withstood tht ? regular tests. The iccrimlaated work- t( men are accused of having made f&lst stamps, with which they marked mater- ^ fal which had not been examined; witl repairing holes, cracks, and other de- * fects in the rails with a particular f cement, and so giving the inforior and is useless material the appearance of fin- ^ ished work, and with substituting re- * jecte.l rails for tnose which the oflS dais y had handed over to be stamped as sat- *1 isfactory, and marking the good rails J, with t'ia forged stamps. The incentive c to the frauds was the fact that the work- F men aro paid a premium on the amount ^ r of work passed by tl?o inspector. How long they have beon indulging in these dishonest practices, how geoeral tho | distribution of defective material has been, is stilt as uncertain as the possible const<] uences of the rascality I i THREE STATES' BRIEFS. 1 relegnphie Dispatches From Many Points of Interest. rhe Field* of Virgin*, North and South Carolina Carefully Cleaned For New*.
