OFFICIAL DELINQUENCIEs.

The Committee of Investigation, raised on
motion of Gov. Gilmer, has excited seine
CONSERVATION in certain quarters. If there be
many instances like that stated below, there
Is good reason fer general quaking among
the official herd.
From the ~. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
RAscAIITY WITHOUT PARALLEL.
While in Washington ten days agc,,he fol-
lowing statement from the Louisville Journal
was put into our hands. Notwithstanding
all the known and unknown instances of Off
clal corruption under the late Administration,
we could scarcely credit tale Of such W.
blushing villainy, and we straighiway appli-
cd TO the General Post Office for information.
We were there informed that il was true to
the letter:
"Whcn Mr.. Barry was PostMasier-general,
a committee was appointed by the u. States
Senate to investigate the affairs of the Post
Office Department. The investigation result
ted in the very able report made by MIR. Ew-
ing, In which divers extra allowances, and
ether corruption, were duly made known to
the people of the county,"
To parry the effects of that startling report,
Mr.. Barry, IT may be remembered, published
a pamphlet, vindication, so called Of his
conduct. This pamphlet was of course an
individual, and not an official docume Mt
Nevertheless, he agreed to pay to the Editors
OF the Globe, Messrs. Blair a. Rivcs, 81 500

When Amos Kendall succeeded Mr.. Barry.
as Postmaster General, he glanced over the
books Of the Department and saw this item of
Sl,5OO. Afraid that another investigation
would soon take place, and that this extraor-
binary Item would thus be brought to light
he made Blair 81 Rives refund the money!
at least he entered it as refunded on the books.
Thus the matter remained till the Sd of
March, 1911, the very last day of Mr.. v. Bu-
ren's Administration, when MIR. Niles, the
successor OF Kendall as Postmaster General.
paid back the 81 800 to Blair g. Riyes, and
an entry was actually made in the books to
that eilec:!''
The statement, we repeat, is true, and the
facts doubtless constitute a fair specimen of
the conduct of the Post Office Department du-
ring the twelve years antecedent to the 18th of
March last. Beyond all doubt that Depart
menth has, during that period, been one of the
ioulest dens oI corruption that ever existed in
aclvlli2ed nation. From another but well adj
vised source we were informed that being
out o! funds, Niles drew upon Pennsylvania

VILE IMPOSITION.

the misrepresentation and abuse heaped up
on the Catholic Society, in consequence of
the story of Maria Monk, which filed the pa
pers and magazines some two or three years
ago. The authors of such gross imposition
are as vile as they are daring
MISUNDERSTANDING to the New York
Commercial, the Maria Monk and Miss Par
fridge affairs are blown up. The books were
written by young lawyer of that city let
tiers of the Rev. George Bourne have come to
light, which prove his collision in the fraud
as an alder and abettor and the Rev. w. c..
Brownlee acknowledges through the vindi-
Gator that he has been dipped by the whole
party. Clinton Roosevelt, few years since
a member of the Legislature, it appears by
some of his letters which have also turned up,
wrote the preface to Partridge's book. The
Commercial says:
"Ihus has the religious public been sport
ed with and deceived by these miserable wo-
men and their appendages in male attire. -

the true details of Catholic enormities, they
were only reading the pruient trash of star

ROBBERY OF THE FREDERICK
COUNTY BANK.

Recovery ria large portion of tic money!
The money that was stolen from this bank
has been recovered, with the exception Of a.
bout $4,000. We understand that the cir
cumstancoS which led to this result were as
iollows--Some time ago, the directors of the
bank received communication from per-
son in N. York named Wiley, who represen
ted himself as lawyer, and stated that ho
had professionally became acquainted with
such facts as would enable him to secure the
restitution of the stolen property upon certain
terms. DIR. VIM. Bradley Tyler, enc of the
directors of the Frederick County Bank, and
VIM. Nj. Beall, Esq. the Cashier of the Far.
mefs' and Mechanics Bank of Frederick Co,
repaired to n. Y ork, and, after good deal OF
negotiation, succeeded in recovering the
whole amount, with the exception of the sum
above stated. We understand that tho gold
and the notes Of banks other than the issues
of the robbed institution were retained, and
that tho lawyer who was the agent in COM
pounding the felony, charged a commission
OF some SIC 900 for his services. Nc jnior-
nation was given that could lead 70 the de
lection OF the robbers, although Mr.. Wiley
admitted to DR.. TYLER, that the latter had
seen the principal several times pending the
negotiation.
This arrangement, we think, is utterly in
defensible. Ii Wiley be, as he represented
himself, lawyer, he should be, at once de-
nounced by his associates and dismissed the
bar. There is nothing in the professional OBJ
legations under which he pretended to act,
whfh can justify the conups part which he
played in this affair. We trust that the bank
will put the public in possession of all the
facts in an authentic shape. Whilst we re-
joice that the money has been recovered, we
hope that we shalt not find any thing in the
measures takenby tho bank, to interfere wirh
the course Of rubiicjustice.- Pat.
