Who are the GaIphim's Now?

1t appears from the Report Of the Select Com
miitee Of the House Of Representatives, upon the
Public Printing frauds, that Father Ritchie, who
expressed SO much holy horror, a, the payment ol
the Galphin claim, and INDUCED in such length
ened homiles upon the enormity of allowing it,
has had his hand into the public Treasury clear
up to the shoulder. By making out false bills u.s.
ing poorer quality Of paper than that contracted
for, and other means, he has defrauded the Gov
eminent out of at least ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS, and not satisfied with this,
has attempted to get extra compensation, before
finishing his contracts.
Father Richie became the public Printer, by a
system Of meanness and fraud, perfectly contemii-
BILE in man making any presensions to moral hon
esty and if he had suffered some would have
been entitled to no sympathy whatever But a
man who has The fnesse TO get $375O0. for what
bv his contract, he was only entitled to S657, is
sufficient adept in the art of rascaity, to make
money out of anything and Father Richie has
done this BY another operation-makng a diff
ference of 81 As on each ream Of paper used
he has made fraudulent gain of 100000. This
however, he defends with The plea that it is custo
mary ; but he does not say whether he justifies

by far the most ancient customs of getting money

A correspondent Of the New York Express Civ
ing an account of the Woman Rights Convention,
says:
Mrs. Tyndale Of Philadelphia, related her ex-
perience in conducting extensive and compli-
Gated mercantile business. Her husband (who
had been the largest importing merchant in the
world, as Mrs. Mott informed the audience,) sud
denly deceased, leaving his affairs in an embar
rassed situation. After proper deliberation, she
concluded to continue the business herself She
found debts to large amount, which she felt it
her duty to pay to the utmost farthing-
as she sincerely did, that honesty is the best pol
icy .a
The creditors expressed their confidence in her
abilities, by extending TO her every indulgence,
and in few years she found herself free from
,qop with lucrative business on her hands. She
employed girls as well as boys behind the coun-
ter and found the former far superior to the latter
and recommended that they should be employed
in preference to boys. AT the age of fifty, she
proposed to retire, and leave the business in the
hands of her children, who were sufficiently ad
vanced in life be entrusted with The conducting Of
affairs. But she could not si, still The indus
trious habits thus acquired must be exercise, and
she had since devoted her time to the cause o
charity and doing good. Mrs. Mott related thai

CooDing i'm Baltimore.

The extent 10 which the practice OF " coop
ing" has been carried on in Baltimore this iail'
is astonishing Our readers would no, believe
that the parties who praciiced this mode OF o.
leclioneerlng would venture TO coop" and put
the lowest Sagran,s, but il seems from the iol-
lowing extract that very prominent citizens,
even the Mayor Of the city, and the Attorney
General OF Pennsylvania were shu. up in these
pens. We copy from the Baltimore correspon-
den, of The Tribune
