TRg DFFFERENCE,-N0 government
can defend itself wholly from frauds, The
hest securities are liable to be broken
down occasionally. Even the manifold
precautions OF the federal government and
the yigilant care of the present admins.
lralion do not always and altogether pro.
tcct the treasury, But sec tho exact diff.
rrcnCc between the treatment of such in.
stances in Washington and in New York.
Two cases of deialcAtiOn have lately OC.
CURED under the federal government. In
both, the offenders were promptly arrest
cd Restitution was made by the one in
whole, by the other in part, and the latter
is in close custody with sentinel over
him. The government makes every cI'
fort to recover the money and to punish
the criminals.
In the New York case, the money is
stolen, millions upon millions, by the very
men whose duty II Is to guard the trca'
sury. The offenders sleep, not in prison
cells, but in marble palaces, with sump-
luous tables, their very horses stalled in
rosewood and gilt, and they coolly throw
themselves upon "lhc solid Irish vote" for
reelection, and say to the taxpayers,
"what are you going to do about itY"

Hamilton, and their contemporaries,

They then descended to nine feet, where
there were number of dead bodies and
several coliers alive ard calling for wa.
