The New York Tribune wants to know
how it was that Paymaster Hodge, OF the
army, was enabled to steal and squander
over 100000. the defalcatiOn going on
for years without being discovered. 1t
remarks that "the fact that the Treasurer
and the Paymaster- General seem each to
throw the blame on the other, is most
amusing" That is very laudable pur-
suit of knowledge, but it will not, we
fear, be grati6ed. The loss of the S400. .00o
is q small matter compared TO the discre-
tionary agencies by which it was rendered
possible to be hidden so long. How many
millions yet undiscovered have gone the
way of the $4o0, ,0oO2 We shall never
know until we have an investigation of

ministration,

WORK that the Grant dynasty & corruption
can or ever will be overcome. They are
seated in power and are not to be unssated
save by the power of the Psnple. The
people too must be fully aroused to the
work. It is neither this man nor that
man, as candidate, who will do it. No

The three millions of Democratic voters IN

T1.t aTEALING AT WASHINGTON

AAhE SAEAAA%NO SIip - = -
Goes bravely on. Eas Late defalcatiops OF
MARDEN and Johnson ip the Treasury
Departmens arc but parts of regular
svstem of swindlng running through all
parts of the Department. The proposal
Of Democratic members of Congress to
have thorough and searching investiga-
lion into the frauds that have already been
detected, and those that undoubtedly ex-
lat. is howled down by the opposition who
propose to cut off all controversy by char
pino Ku Kluxism upon those who desire
an investigation into the conduct of pub
lie affairs, and by exposing rascality, put
a stop to it.
The defalcation of MARDES and JOHN
SON are of the same character as those OF
Hodges ( others, & tits shown that sys-
tenn of fraud is interviewer with the whole
machinery of the government at Wash
ington. And yet the Republicans will not
investigate and the Democrats are prohib-
tied from investigating into them, and
thus put an end to the wholesale plumber
ing of the government that is now being
carried on.
All this goes to show the absolute ne
cessity for change in the general admin
istration of affairs. When party refu-
sss to investigate into wholesale system
of frauds for fear it would injure its pros
pects of success, it is no longer fit to rule
the destinies of the country.

rnxesi raxestr

We learn from Treasurer Allen that u
very small portion OF the taxes TO be paid
on or before the 10th inst. are as yet paid
into the Treasury The amount unpaid is
much larger than usual.
Of course, if all taxpayers stay away
till the last day it would be impossible TO
get through. And indeed. ifthe Treasurer
and his deputies were kept busy every
day from now till the evening Of the 10th,
they would have all they could possibly
do to get through. 1t Is exceedingly an
noying to collectors and taxpayers to have
the Office jammed and crowded with peo-
pie from all parts of the county, all the
latter anxious to get through snd get
away. Usually at this season Of the year
taxpaying is active and 50 continues till
after the Doth Let people consider these
things and act without delay.
For the last few years our TreasuTers
have been quite indulgent, but at the
December period they cannot indulge to
any extent, as the County Auditor Is re-
quired under the law TO have the books
within week, that he may prepare list
Of the real estate on which are Delinquent
taxes, that he may advertise all such
tracts and offer for sale about the 10th of
January. This may give our friends an
idea of the Importance Of prompt payment
Of their taxes about this time. Taxpay-
ing is q disagreeable matter at any time,
but when done it is great relief Hence,
do it quickly and be done with it.

thing about public affairs. He don tread
the newspapers, and has not the average
information Oh contemporaneous events.
Yes, he actually told me be never read a
book. You remember just after he was
elected Pesident, Hooper and lot of 9TH
er fellows got up subscription to furnish
Grant with new library. Grant told me
that be had just received letter from
Hooper, sayisg that they had selected the
books for the library with the exception
of thOse-relating to military matters.-
They supposed he had most of those, but
if there were any rare works nD the sub
ject, or any he did not have, they would
supply them. Grant, said he. replied that
he had never in his life read the book on
the art of war"

Denth of Iohn baum.

Some three weeks ago We related an ac-
cident that befell our noble friend JOHN
L. DAUM, of Plain township, in which his
leg was badly broken and crushed be-
tween the ankle and knee In addition to
the very dangerous injuries, we learn ty-
phoid fever set in, and Mr. DAUa, on Fri
day last expired at the age of 81, leaving
his wife, father and mother TO mourn his
early and melancholy death. We deeply
regret the early demise Of joan L DAuM,
and sympathize with the bereaved friends.
Mr. DAUM was young man of more than
ordinary promise, bright of intellect and
noble ofheaFt. The world has too few
such men, but death loves shining mark.
His remains were buried on Sunday last
in the Cemetery; aud Wsre followed to their
last resting place by large number of
people, the procession of carriages extend

OLD President THEIRS. Of Francs, sent
in his Message to the French Assembly
last week. He claims his Republic is
peace. If it is he had better put stop
to this thing of shooting in cold
blood such gallant Frenchmen as Rossel.
One would suppose gallant Frenchmen
enough had perished during the last year
or two to satisfy the most heartless des-
pot that France was ever cursed with.
