leaders of that city, purchased 100
acres of land for the county upon
which to build poor house. lie paid
$4,000 for the land and had the deed
made to his son. In a few weeks
after the son made a deed TO the
County Commissioners for the same
100 acres and obtained $500. Gain,
$4,000. And yet such are tho men

THERE IT Is.--Thc New York Sur
says: "On tho Sd Of March, just before
hc assembled the Capitol steps to take
tho oath of Office, General Grant ac
ccpted a gift Of $4,000. On the 9th

pointed the largest contributor 70 this
fund, Secretary of the Treasury, and
the two most active agents in raising
it, Sub Treasurer and Collector Of the
Customs at New York" As Ameri.

nEYEs RIGHT, DREss This is q
military order, aud of course familiar
to both General Grant and General
Plcasanton, who was last week kicked
out of Office By tho patron of Long
Branch and public robbers Mr.. Dana
editor of the New York Sun, a lead
ing Radical organ well posted in
"ways that are dark" and loyal
throws some light on the appointment
of sour own Douglass" mot tho mig
ger,) which goes far to prove the rot
tcnncss Of the revenue business. The
editor in question says:
Mr.. Douglass the successor Of Gen.
Plcasanton in tho Office of Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, is describ
ed as one of the warmest friends oI
the well known dciaulter ex.Colonel
Bailey. 1t is charged that whilo the
latter was in trouble Mr.. Douglass
advised him ofevery wovomcn. against
him in Washington. The kilograms
cmbodying these facts were sent ia
cipher, and subsequently purchased
by distillers whose property has been
unlawfully seized by Bailey Mr.
Douglass is also said to have beer
officially connected with the ALLEGED
whisky frauds in Baltimore, in which
Supervisor Fulton took such a con
spicuous part. He came on to this
city after Bailcy's fight, and made q
secret examination of Bailcy's books
but never published tho result. A
shrowd revenue officer says tha,
Douglass was appointed to his present
position TO prevent any investigation
of Pleasanton's accounts, and to fix
up things generally.
Douglass was formerly Collector in
this district, and the creature Bailey
robbed the Treasury of half a million
dollars, and ran Off to Europe, where
he is now rusticating. We wonder
how long it will take the people tc
get their eyes open? If what the
Sun editor says is true, Grant, Doug
lass, Bailey and all should be in the
penitentiary.
