Frauds Of Congressman tho Pension
Bureau.

A very serious allegation against Ten
nessee Congressman comes from Washington.
II is said that one of the honorable members
who were implicated in the charge of selling
cadetships is now suspected of the more
grave charge Of detrauding the Pension
Bureau, by means of forged receipts and power
of attorney and the illegal use of county
seal. The frauds, it seems, extended also to
poor widow, who was the worst victim,
living in secluded part Of Ash county, North
Carolina whose name he forged and whose
pension he pocketed. If these facts can be
proved it will 60 hard with the Congressman.
So far has the Commissioner been convinced
of the truth of the charges that he has had an
order issued for the arrest of the accused, and
he will be brought to Washington Immediately.
Similar charges are reported to lie against a
Georgia member; but they have not been
fully developed yet. These, although but
single cases Of such crime as forgery, are
but feeble evidences of the vast mass Of putrd
decentralization in which Congress is immerged.
The sale of cadetshps was shabby, ungentle-

scandalous. This matter of cheating
poor soldiers widow out of her
pension, and committing forgery in
order to accomplish the purpose, is,
probably, still more in keeping with the gene
raj atmosphere of corruption which pervaded
the Fortieth Congress.
There was time when Southern members,
whatever may have been their faults, however
bombastic, quarresome and sometimes ridicu-
lous they may have been on the f1oor-would
shrink from anything petty or contemplate.
They were men of honor at least. But unhap-

Of the country now is of entirely different

several of the prisoners from Alamance
county captured by Governor Holden, Of
North Carolina, have confessed to belonging
to the Ku Klux Klan, and, being convinced
Of the infamy and villany of that organiza-

withdraw from it. One of them, James Boyd,
who was democratic candidate for Congress
In Alamance county, delivers long
address to the people of North Caro-
lima, in which he forswears all Ku

Andrew Johnson, while President of the
United States, was the head centre of the or

the entire corrupt course of the last Congress
and its utter worthessness for all purposes OF
good to the country, we are not much surprised
to hear of isolated cases of grave offence like
this discovered by the Pension Bureau brought
home to members. Indeed, we expect to hear
good deal more Of them; but we hope that
few examples will be made and condign pun

order to serve as warning to those who may
stand upon the brink of infamy and have not
yet fallen into the gull, if any such Congress-
