GOVERNMENT INFoRMERs The Cincin-
natl Commercial, Republican, very just
y remarks:
The whole system is demoralizing TO
the public service. Il is a standing offer
of reward, to officials, not to put a stop
to the commission of frauds upon the
revenue, bat to connive at their continu-
ance; to let the perpetrators go unpunish-
ed, to seize the fruits of the fraud, as Of
ten as can be done without rendering
wholly Improbable the work of the of.
fender. The Secretary of the Treasury
states that under the existing law on the
subject. "revenue officers are led to as
sert claims in behalf Of the government
which have no foundation in law or fact,
and when real claims exist it is often the
object of the informer and officials who
share the penalty, to misrepresent the
case, to secure the greatest advantage to
themselves He adds that the interest
Of informers and Of officials receiving
shares, is largely in the continuance Of
the practices from which they derive pe-
cuniary advantages That the revenue
laws can be perverted to such ends, and
that they make it the interest Of officials
to encourage offences against them, is
scanalJus, and calls for the repeal Of
those sections which afford opportunity
for partnership speculations in public

AN ALLEGoRY In one of the fable of
Esop it is related that goat, standing
aloit on neighboring rock, was exceed.
ingly saucy and impudent to passing
lion. BY way of reply the lion remark.
ed that he did not look on the impudence
as coming from the goat, but from the
place which protected him.
If the goat had been a judge. like JOHN
WHYrocK, he would doubtless have con
sideled the remark Of the lion 1s con-
tempt. had him arrested, brought to the
bar of his court, have acted in the capac

with his precious odors. But he would
still have been goat, and nothing but a

The Senate passed the House militia

Previous to the vote thirteen Of the

EXPLOSION OF THE RIGHT WAY.
Neglect in Cleaning the Boilers.

The following report is furnished to the
REPUBLICAN for publication by P. F. Her
wig, Esq Special Deputy Collector:
Orp,cp Bo.Rp OF United STATES Local INSPECTORS.
New Orleans, August y, 1870. }
SIR-We have the honor to submit the
following report on the explosion of the
boilers of the steamer Right Way, on the
morning of the eighteenth OF July last:
The steamer Right Way left this city at
about six o'clock z. NJ, on the siXteecth
day of July last, bound to and on Bayou
Lafourchr. having on board an ordinary
cargo OF merchandise and some fifteen or
twenty passengers. Nothing OF note
occurred previous to the disaster, with the
exception of {, leak in the bottom of the
starhoarl boiler, in fore and aft seam
within the furnace. which was first discov-
cred on the evening OF the seventeenth. and
on her return trip TO this city. while lying
at a landing diSchargng freight. about two
miles above ThibodeauX. the Starhoard boiler
exploded. Monday the eighteenth. at seven
O'Clock \. NJ. killing six persons almost ln-
stanrlv. among whom was the first engineer.
and wOundiIlg fourteen Others. seven OF
whom have since died, making III all thlr-
teen killed.
After a careful review of the testimony
and evidence before us. sufficient has been
cllcircd thcrctro1n to place the prime cause
Of this sad disaster. TO neglect III cleaning
the boilers and. inatteHticn to dangerous
leak in the bottom OF the boiler that eN-
pioded. thereby causing a burn. which re-
suited in the explosion and its melancholy
effects. II is il evidence that Il burn had
previously happened in the same locality,
and that a part of a sheet had been put III
which had commenced 20 leak about fifteen
hours previous 10 the explosion. and con
timed 10 increase up to the occurrence OF
tie disaster. Ii is also i'll evidence that the
foregoing facts We're well known 10 both
engineers. and that no attention appears II
have been by them paid to the said defects,
wherefore a total disregirded OF their du-
ties is clearly evident.
Believing the second engineer. Mr.. Henry
A. Moore. who was on duty at the time OF
the explosion. to have been cu!pable.' we
have revoked his license as an engineer OF
steam vessels. and have notified him to that
effect.
Very respectfully.
Your obedient servants,

Now into this Honorable court comes the

derous words about the said defendant, AS
follows: That the said plaintiff while an

CITY did neglect to collect various sums OF
money as well as other useful commodities,
which should have been collected and paid
over to one Sted. Slourme, who was the
grand hoseOmitor of the aforesaid whisky
ring, all of which will more fully appear AT
the investigation at the bar of this hOnOrf-
bic court.
Your rcIator is prepared to swear and
prove BIZ numerous and competent witnesses
that he never did refuse to take any and
all moneys or other property which came
within reach OF could be carried On a mar
gin, while engaged in protecting the reve
MUGS Of his adopted country.

antecedents considered. that plaintiff bt
