Can it be Otherwise :

The open and fragrant plunderlnss
of mauy parties under the employ Of
the government forbids the supposition
that the Secretary Of War can b. ignor-
ant OF lhe facts. And then the removal
of officers WHO commence to ferret out
those practices and fasten proof OF the
crime where il belongs looks like there
was connivance at the infamy III high
places. Now one Of two things is GER
tain: f,he Secretary Of War is ignor-
anl of what is patent To every intelligent
person in ,he nation, lie is too stupad To
occupy the position he does. Ii he
knows and wink. AT it, then lie is ,on
coFIupt 10 remain where he is. In
either case h. should BE- removed.
There j. NJ ose in saving these things
cannot be prevented. They can be. at
ieas. ioa very great ex'eni. and the
criminals brought 10 sheme and con
tempt. But this will NJ; be done, so
long as honest officials are removed 10
give place 10 those who will wink n!
crime, AS in The case OF Col. Phillips,
and many other instances.
The Secretary of War owes ii 10 him
