A WORD TO SOLDIERS

It is we'll for Mr.. Murphy that the share he
had in plundering the Government and wrong
ing the soldiers by his shoddy swindles has
been 80 long concealed that the indolent mag
nanimity of the American people has rendered
any proper punishment impossible. We all re-
member, in the days Of the war, which seem
now so distant, how the contempt and disgust
which the shoddy swindles excited among the
people of the North turned to hot and fery
indignation among the deceived and outraged
soldiers. Some of us have seen the results of
a few days wear Of that worthless trash which
those callous knaves sent down to the army :;
the shoes that came to pieces in the first days
march, leaving the naked feet Of the soldier
to mark their rough road with bleeding tracks;
the overcosts that tore apart in the
act Of putting them on, useless against the
discomfort and disease that filed the foul
weather; and those hats and caps which Muir
ply sold 30 dear, tapping over the faces of
the soldiers in filthy tatters as soon as
shower had melted the shellac with which
they were stihened and kept together. ANY
one who passed through camp of fine young
fellows turned to miserable scarecrows by this
grovelling rascality would have heard their
opinions, expressed with very little reserve, of
berry Of the army. "If the Government would
shoot few contractors we would be de-
Gently dressed" was an expression heard q
thousand times in the trenches by York
town, the swamps of the Chickahominy,
and the Sea-Island beaches. What a
heart it would have given those indignant

1t ia hard to imagine the depth G1 good-
natured cynicism to which the rule OF knaVes
has brought our politics. when honest men OF
our own party can look unmoved upon inc
revelations which we made in yesterdays
TRIBUNE. These are not the assertions OF
partisan malice. Every word we printed was
taken from official documents and sworn am
dayits. It is not asserted-it is proved that
this man Murphy swindled the Government
out of at least $1i2.000 In contracts stated IN
detail, and no one but himself knows now
much more in which he escaped detection
He delivered hats "made from ground felt and
"gum and other poor material" says one
document; chats and caps of the meanest
"quaiity,n says an official letter from the
Ouartermaster- Generals Department; "the
"poorest material, most negligently manu-
"factured, and of the most unwork-
"manlike finish have ever seen," says
another sworn statement. And if any one
asks how this was possible, he must be
reminded that Mr.. Murphy has very winning
ways with official people. 81 heard" says one
witness, under oath, "about Mr.. Murphy's get
"ting some furs for Col. Vinton's wife; also
"heard something about COL Vinton's having
carriage; it was the talk among the hat-men
"down town that Mr.. Murphy could get con-
"tracts if he wanted them"
1t may be possible for Mr.. Murphy to corrupt
Government officers; to escape the clutches
of the law; to hide away his plunder 80 safely
that it cannot be wrested from him. But we
own we are yet sanguine enough to believe
that there Ia sufficient honor and conscience
in the Republican party of New-York to say
that it is not for hands 80 leprous with fraud
to control their destinies in this coming cam
paign of the people against the thieves.

The United States District Court in Utah
has gone into business in large way. The
Grand Jury, having under consideration the
numerous cases of adultery which are alleged
to have been committed by the much-married
Mormons, have subpenaed Brigham Young
and considerable detachment of his wives.
This looks like carrying the war into Mormon
dom, and all decent people will wish well Of
the first legal attempt which has been made
to break up the anomalous polygamous set
tement of Salt Lake.

The Spanish are very unfortunate in their
management of naval affairs in the West In

British vessel which had Haytian troops on

has usually been very alert to pick up quar-
rel of this kind, and unless there is q Spanish
apology forthcoming soon, we may expect a

The architects and others who have been so
outrageously swindled by Superintendent Mac
gregor Of the Building Department held an
indignation meeting last evening, denounced
their blackmailing prosecutor in unmeasured
terms, and, which is more to the purpose, put
forth sworn charges of the most serious ma
ture and adopted plans for bringing Macgreg-
or's case into court and securing his removal
and the reformation of his Department.

A collision by which no lives, fortunately,
were sacrificed, took place at the crossing Of
the Hudson River Railroad with the Hudson
and Boston Railroad Last evening. Op/these
lines the rule requiring trains to come to Q
full stop before crossing the traverse tracks
has undoubtedly Baved many lives heretofore /;
disobedience Of that rule caused the scci-
dent. It Is fortunate thing for the culprit
in this case that he will only lose his place
not his personal liberty.

The streets were afflicted last night with the
noise and glare of body of men, henchmen
of Tweed, who were parading the city in order
to show that the man who is the real defendant
in the great criminal case now in progress
has no shame, no sense of personal guilt. 1t
was an apotheosis of political vice.
New-York tribune., 1871-09-23

such Q monstrous perversion Of Justice and
such an outrage upon public poiicyi but the LAW
seems to have been cunningly and dishonestly
framed, and 1t Is hard TO say what may not
be got out Of 1t. For instance, the section
which We have just quoted from the Conson-
dated Debt Act. passed April 9, 1871, author.
LEES tho issue of consolidated stock to cancer
and pay of any bonds or stocks maturing TINS
year; yet the. Two Per Cent Act, passed thir-
teen days later, il very explicit In directing
that such bonds and stocks shall be paid out
of the revenue from taxation. At the same
time 1t declares that nothing in this ACT
"shall impair in any manner or affect the pro-
"visions" Of the Consolidated Debt Act! How
are these contradictions to be reconciledf
The fraud which underlies this whole scheme
Of finance is perfectly illustrated by passage
in the report which Mr.. Connolly submitted
to the Mayor on the list Of August:
win be noticed that there is increase Of tho per.
msnont debt OF county BY tho issue OF consos 70 ne
amount OF g. 900 without reduction Of the revenue
ment Of taIes account Of the redemption Of which
the consos were issued Tho bonds for repayment OF
bonds not until DeeemSsr tss MONEY So1ToSsS sss.
s:d yor s Current spenses Of 10 govenmsn IN dG
Ona bonds and also bonds for temporary loans
for improvements Of streets &c. has been usual thus
saving the interest which would have becn incurred
the money had boen borrowed on such bonds"
There is no authority Of law for issuing con-
soils to defray the current expenses Of the
government, and the validity Of this stock
may therefore be called in question. But
about the ruinous policy of such discounting
of the future there can be no question at all.
To cancel Revenue Bonds at 7 per cent in
terest, Mr.. Connolly issues per cent consols
redeemable in 1901, but issues them ssvsra!
months before they are wanted. Then, since the
money lies idle, while the interest is running
on, he uses the proceeds to meet his cur
rent expenses, and in November and De-
cember he will want to borrow again
And he has the effrontery to tell us that by
this scheme he "saves the interest,"" He does
not save o penny. On the contrary, be COM
mits the objectionable extravaganza OF paying
his ordinary daily expenses in thirty years.
stock bearing interest at the high rate of 2
per cent currency, or per cent geld; and so
we go on, piling up debt day after day, never
paying even the interest of our obligations,
but adding it constantly to the principal.
How long, Mr.. Connolly, could you have ex-
pected to carry on business by the simple
process of renewing your notes We do not
believe we shall have to look in vain to Gen,
Green for q change.

The people Of France are engaged 10 inter.
necine strife, the government headed by
Theirs has been forced to use the implements
of war against the COMMUNISTS of Paris. The
Paris insurgents advanced on Versailles with
force reported to number $4,000. That
portion of their forces moving on the South of
the city had protection from forts in the hands
of those friendly to the insurrection, but that
portion moving on the West met with the FIRE
from Mont Valerien, fortress which they
expected would fraternize with their move
ment. The result was, that all the forces of
the insurgents were beaten with loss of
$4,000 killed, wounded and missing. Flour
ems one Of the insurgent leaders was killed.
The army Of the Versailles government now
surrounds Paris. Good order prevails
throughout France except in the city. If the
Insurgents can do no better than in their first
attempt, they must soon yield to the power
of the country as represented by the govern
ment, which exhausted every means to con-
ciliate the hot headed and impracticable lead
ers of the Partisan moi before resorting to
the dread alternative of war. The govern
ment has exhibited courage and shown much
wisdom, and when it shall have established
its authority in Paris will have accomplished
much towards the cause Of free government
in France. That it will 90 so shortly, seems
probable. as disseasions exist among the in
surgeGt leaders to such an extent that they
can hardly make prolonged resistance.
Bismarck il Is reported intends il peace is not
restored by the 18th Of this month to march
a force of $4,000 Germans into the city, and
enforce respect to the government. With
this report staring them in the face the Com
muuisss can have no hope Of carrying their
efforts,to success.
