FORNEY'S ACCOUNTS COVERED UP


\ special telegram to the Harrisburg
Patriot says:
Mr.. Cragin introduced a resolution to
close the accounts of John W Forney,
late Secretary Of the Senate. Mr.. Cam
eron apologized for having ona former
occasion, made some disparaging re-
marks in reference to these accounts.
He now believes that Forney was un-
fortunately subjected to wrongful inn
pressions through the inalfeasance of
his confidential secretary. He is salts
fed that Forney's sseuunts have been
made ap in some way by that gentle
man himself or his friends, and that
the government had not lost cent
A statement of the last Comptroller of
the Treasury was then read, showing
that Forney's accounts had been fully
adjusted. The joint resolution was
then passed, and Forney's Gisreputa-
bic career as Secretary of the Senate
was closed up. The proceeding was
the most transparent subterfuge which
ever transpired IN the Senate Chamber.
The whole matter was preNrranged,
and as a reward for months OF fulsome
puffs in Forney's paper.

lief Fund amounts to S126,077, and
thus far only 1000 has been given to
the widows and orphans for whom it
was intended, lover three hundred
persons, or at the rate ofS37 II apiece.
The balance has been judiciously in
vested for the benefit of the sufferers by
the terrible calamity ia future. We
think 1t would be better for the trus-
tees of the fund to present each faIni-
ly entitled to relief with $500 this win
ter and no. wait until the pensioners
get olt before giving them this spon-
taneous charity offering of the people.
In few years many Of those having
claims upon the fund may die or re-
turn to their former homes in Great
Britain, and some rich and entirely
undeserving person may swallow up
the shares of the absent claimants, in
terest and all. the great disaster will
become an old story in time, and the
people would be better pleased to see
their gift applied wnile their hearts are
warm with the pleasure OF giving.
