ard, it reminds us have been the prin-
cipaf supporters of one5of the mobs.
Collector Casey gave revenue cutter
to the rebellious Senators in order to
prevent laolegal quorum in the State
Senate. Marshal 4 Packard arrested
the members of the House of Repre-
sentativess for the purpose of giving
the minority faction an opportunity
to seize the control of that body Sew
eral of. the Senators who are still
skulking to avoid their duties in the
legislature are officers under Casey
and Packard, drawing pay from the
United States while they are pursuing
the cowardly course. So far as the
United States civil service has been
neglected. and disgraced in this affair,
the President is bound to interfere.
And yetthe meddiers in the affairs
of that State will continue to hold on
to their lucrative positions without
even receiving airebuke for their viii
lainies. loasn1 as51g aa- saG

In his letter of November 20, 1871,
accepting Collector Murphy's resigna-

administration the revenues from the

lection in proportion to the amount
collected has been greatlydiminished.' =

Gov. Parker, of New Jersey, was
inaugurated on Tuesday the 18th inst i.
His message recommends increased
educational facilities, condemns legis-
lation which gives municipal govern
ments into the hands of commissions,
urges proper treatment of children
employed in the factories. and adjust
ment of the hours. He regards with
suspicion the ignoring of State rights
and tendency to Capitalization, favors
amnesty to the South, urges harmony,

partisan legislation. a E
The presentation of the credentials

did not and could not go behind the

stance cited proves nothing. .

Secretary Boutwell, Scared.

If we read Secretary Boutwell's let
Ter of the End instant to Speaker Blaine
Alright, that eminent financier is unea-
sy at the prospective ventilation of
his syndicate job, and prays . valida-
ting act. The letter encloses section
which the secretary recommends
should be inserted in the next def
cheney bill. The section reads thus:
The expenses of loans, legal-tender
notes, fractional currency, checks,
certificates, stamps, commissions, and
other plate and seal engraving and
printing required by the Treasury De-
partment, including the issue, transfer
delivery, redemption, and destruction
of securities, shall be paid from and
shall not exceed the appropriation OF
one per centum ON the amount of le-
gal tender notes, fractional currency,
and securities issued and redeemed
during each fiscal year."
The mode here is distinctly marked
but the time is left indeterminate.
The expenses of loans are to be paid
SO and so, but the expenses of what
loans-past, pending. or futnre? The
section is silent on this point, and may
thus be construed to cover loans made
at any time. This brings the syndi-
cate job under the protection of the
proposed clause and allows Mr.. Bout
well to devote to the expenses of that
performance a sum equal TO one per
cent on the aggregate amount of all
the legal tender notes and all the frac-
tional currency issued in the fiscal
year, and also one per cent. on the
amount of the new bonds issued and
the old redeemed. Having far ex-
ceedeG the limit of expense allowed
by law--how far none but himself
knows-Mr. Boutwell, comes forward
with validating law to condone his
malfeasance and provide means for
the liquidation of the obligations he
has illegally incurred. seThe object OF
this section,v he says in his letter, sis
to furnish a legislative construction
to previous laws" Being translated
this means to repeal existing laws by
retroactive statute which saves him
from the consequences of his unlaw-
full acts. We take it that Secretary
Boutwell, would not ask this kind OF
legislation if he were not afraid of the
results of an investigation of his syn
dicate job. Investigation is the order
of the day and may light upon him

Defaulter Arrested.
History won't lie,
GERMAN Y.

Col. John F. Wood, Assistant Post
master, at indianapolis, has been detected
in using government fumes to tile amount
of ABOUT $4,000, and making false re-
port of the condition of his accounts. 1t
is not known how long he has been steal
ing, nor exactly how much he has stolen F;
but it is not less than the amount above
stated. He had succeeded in hiding his
crime by reporting an amount of govern
ment stamps on hand which were not in
the office, and as an account of stock had
not been taken by Col. Holloway, the
Postmaster, the fraud was not detected /,
and when he ascertained that an account
OF stock would be taken, he sent to Louis
vile and Lafayette and borrowed stamps.
which was made known when the Louis
vile and Lafayette offices sent in their
accounts for payment. The deficiency
was made good by COL Holloway. who
is amply secured by Col Woods bonds
men. He was arrested and taken before
Commissioner Davis; but owing to the
absence. of witnesses, an examination of
the case was postponed to Aug. 5th, and
defendant placed under bonds of $4,000
of course the utmost confidence had
been placed in Col Wood, or be could
not have held the position he did. Sus-
p'cion was aroused about the 18th of
May last; but the arrest was not made
until last Friday.
