so, at the present time, when Democrats
platc of the economy of their party rule, it
would be advisable to hang up before them "A
few OF its corrupt practices, which have been
| successfully exposed since the Inauguration
| of Mr. buchanan First was the Fort Smelling
job, where, without notice or advertisement,
$500 OUO worth of Government property was
sold for less than onc-third of its value, and
| after the sale, $4,000 month was charged
as rent for the barracks to accommodate a
few soldiers, so that the government hardly
realized cent by the whole Transaction
Then came the Wilets Point job. An i'm
practicable site for fort in the State of New
York was purchased for 100000, and after
its selection, it was bought by some conliden-
tal friend of the President for halfthe money.
We showed the other day how Capt. Van
Welt, Assistant Quar- termastcr, was on trial
at Fort Leavenworth for refusing to buy
mules for the Utah expedition at exorhitant
prices, and how, notwithstanding this, they
rurchascd-at $l10 when they were offered at
SS5 to $lC0.
The last exposure Of this party of plumbers,
as made by the St. Louis Democrat, has ref.
eIeIiCe W operations at Fort IeaVcnWOrth, for
a reproduction of the Fort Smelling affair ::
but the plot was unfortunately marrcl and
the machinery stopped by the Chief Quarter
master then stationed at that post, and by
the refusal of Gen. Harvey, acting on the rep
reservations Of Col. Crossman, to sanction
the JOB. Genge Saunders and the firm of
Russell Waddell, & Co., and several others
had carved out the great part of the rcscrva-
walton for the moderate sum of TWENTY-FIVE
dollars an acre. The Secretary of War was
willing, but the assent of the commanding
officer was essential. He consulted the Chief
Quartermaster, who exposed the plot and
threatened to bid 500 an acre for it himself
if 1t were to be sold. This blew up the whole
scheme, and so the military reservation in
Kansas had escaped for the time the fate Of
the reservation in Minnesota.
These little sketches are refreshing to the
Democrats when they attempt to say that the
one hundred milllors asked for next year by
MIR. Buchanan are not inconsistent with an
economical administration of the government.
