These reports ere tolerably curious things.
They seem to be made with the view of satisfying
the people that things are all fair and square,
without giving them any real knowledge Of what
goes with their money. They have, until lately,
also been honest enough 10 give in their reports
some account of the products of the farm, but Of
late years these have got to be so large that ii is
thought prudent to keep this knowledge to them
selves, hence, instead of reporting the amount OF
any of the produce, they add $500 to their list of
expenditures as rental raiue Of he farm Pretty

that he will make some speeches in Della

ton which will crafty the Republicans Of

one OF the strongest arguments made during

they will be able to overthrow the govern

may; any change in Spain can hardly help

No account is rendered either Of the lard, which

that must be raised on such fam; nor is any
| account taken Of the annual interest on their
debt of $780, which must DO paid regularly at
Bank though not appearing in the reports at all !
These facts prove as clearly as demonstration
that the whole thing is managed by the board to
suit themselves without ever giving any truthful

stantial food, chiefly the products of the farm,

radically detective and opens the door to enor-

is far otherwise, as the facts above enumerated
clearly enough indicate, new and better system
should be inaugurated. Some Of the trustees are
said to be honest men, but they are made the tools
| Of those who are far otherwise. The whole con-
Germ is evidently maelstrom of corruption in
which is swallowed up a large share of the taxes
wrung out of the toiling people of that county.
One of the 'overseers" was recently removed by
the immaculate board for what they called 'mal-

what the malieasance consisted. 1t was therefore

wish to monopolze the thing and who will not

Corruption and peculation generally result from
keeping one set Of men in office for long time.
They learn how to cheat, their conscieuces gradu-
ally become hardened, and their moral percep-
tions bunted until population appears to them a

Don't Know Him

SEYMOUR, the champion and spokes-
man of the New York Democracy, in
his late remarkable speech said: He
had no political prejudice In favor of
Mr.. JOHNSON. In fact, he had never
seen him, and didn't know him. He
had not helped to place him in office,
had never advised him, or was con-
suited by him; that he had been
cheated and betrayed by those about
him, and had been most unhappy in
his friends" Alas poor Yorick
The great danger which now threat
ems A. j. is that he will have nc
friend left to see him deeently buried

understood that the secret order in

known as the Kuklux Khan, is a
branch of the same organization. To
what extent the Constitutional Al
lance or Kuklux Khan has gone, or
how far its ramifcations extend, we
do not know, nor do we care. It is
very evident, however, that a secret
movement of the kind is on foot to
Offset, what is supposed by the Demo
cratic leaders to be, the military and
political power welded by the Grand
Army of the Republic. But we have
no fear of an organization composed
of Sons of Liberty, draft sneaks, de-

Army, which has only been known
through its benevolent enterprises,
will still live.

FOREIGN NEWS.
The Treaty with the North German
Confederation The Articles.

New YORK. March y. - The
Worlds Berlin letter gives a synopsis
of the new treaty with the North
German Confederation. According
to article one the North German Bund
covenants to record TO Germans who
become naturalized citizens of the
United States. and reside in that
country FIVE years, the same rights
and privileges as native born citizens
Of the Republic. In the second clause
of the same article, the Government
of the United States reciprocally
agrees to recognize the persons who,
though formerly citizens of the IN
tied States, have become naturalized
citizens of the North German Bund,
and resided in the territory of the
latter five years, as citizens of the
Bund. It is provided, moreover, that
whoever, having thus alienated him.
self from one country and become a
citizen of the other country, and re-
turns to his native country and there
acquires a domicil, shall. by the ac-
quisition of such domicil, be consid-
cred to have renowned his adopted
citizenship.
Article two provides that no per-
citizenship through naturalization,
or from obligations incurred through
crime or misdemeanor committed
while citizen of his native country.
Article three extends the eXtradi-
ton treaty Of 1852 between the
United States and Prussia, to the
North German Bund.
Article four declares the acquisi~
ton Of domicile, which works to the
loss of citizenship, shall be presuma-
BILE from two years residence out of
ones adopted country; the mere de-
claration of the intention to become
a citizen is to be of no international
effect.
Articles five and six relate to a
ratification of treaty, and stlpulate
this to be affected within six months,
and that the treaty shall take eff
feet Immediately after the exchange
Of ratification, and remaining in force
for ten years.

Congress Bringing Relief TO the
People.

1t will be remembered that a month
or more ago we published letter
from Hon. SCHUYLER CoLFAx
Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives, in which he assured the country
that Congress was earnestly at work
to remedy the existing evils in fnan-
cial affairs, and to tighten the bur
dens of taxation which were resting
upon the people He said that the
Republican Representatives in Con-
gress would prove themselves true to
their duty, and bring relief to the
nation, as speedily and fully as it was
possible for them to do consistent with
the lawful obligations of the Govern
ment. 1t appears, from the action of
the House on Tuesday, that his
promises are likely to be redeemed.
The Committee of Ways and Means on
that day reported back the tax bill,
with a sweeping provision, removiag
entire the foe per cent. tao upon all
manufactures, leaving nothing to be
taxed as manufactures but liquors,
oil, gas, and manufactured tobacco.
The House very promptly responded
to the recommendation of the Com
mittee, and the bill was at once pass
ed, and goes to the Senate for con-
currence. This will be good news for
the manufacturers of Evansville, but
especially so for the people all over
the country, who are the consumers,
and who, in the end, have to pay the
taxes in the increased cost of the ar
ticles. We hope and believe that in
other matters so cheeringly spoken Of
by Mr.. CoLFAX, the Fortieth Con
gress will bring relief to the nation
and that the loyal people will have
renewed cause for endorsing their
legislation.

THE Democratic papers have had
much to say of the improperly Of
Senator WADE acting as member Of
the jury that is to try the President.
They argue that he Is to be Mr.. JOHN
SONS successor in case he is removed,
and, therefore, he is personally inter
ested in establishing the guilt of the
accused, that he may occupy his posi-
ton. If the reasoning of these pa
pers be good, it will also apply to SEN
ator PATTERSON, of Tennessee, Mr..
JoHNsoN's son-in-law. He certainly
is interested in having Mr.. JOHNSON
acquitted. His family occupy the
White House and do the honors of
the Presidential mansion. If Mr..
JOHNSON is removed, the PATTERSON
family will have to vacate the Presi-
Dental premises. We are gratifed
to know that Senator WADE has
spiked this Democratic gun.
He did it easily and successfully.
When his right to be sworn in was
being contested by Senator HEN
BRICKS and other Senatorial advo-
Gates of the President, Mr.. WADE
went to PATTERSON and proposed
that they should pair off during the
entire trial. This the latter persist
emily refused to do, and asserted that
he should demand his right to vote
on the final question. If Mr.. PAT
TERsoN, under all the circumstances,
is proper juror, surely no objection
ought to be urged against Senator
WADE.

WASHINGTON.
Attorney General Stanbery Tenders
His ResigRatl0n-The Full Amount
OF Revenue Required for Carrying
on the Government.

WASHINGTON, March T2.-Attorney
General Stanbery rendered his resig-
nation last night, for the reason that
he wishes to be uuencumbered by
official duties and restraints in his
future actions as counsel for the Pres
ident during the trial of the latter be-
fore the Senate. Stanbery has been
in consultation with the President the
greater portion of the day, and it is
understood that his resignation will
be accepted.
The Committee on Ways and
Means, it is understood, have arrived
at a conclusion as to the full amount
of revenue required for carrying on
the Government, and can be raised
from the following: Distilled spirits,
$15, 600 900; Incomes, $40, 900, 600; To-
bacco, so, 100000; Stamp duties,
$25, 000, 600. This is about s.. 000. 600
in excess Of the amount required to
carry on the Government.
