THE GREAT CARMICHAEL CASE.

Comfy gentlemen who have invented and
broght into notice the Great Carmichael
Cas- are satisfied with their tremendous value.
Peole who have never before heard of The
Bihamton Republican and The Oneonta Her
aldiave now actually seen the titles of these
inflential journals printed in the columns of
TIL TRIBUNE. More than this, they have
leared all about Mr.. Carmichael, a modest
citm Of 0tsego County, who has had great

the nal publication of the result Of the STAN
lev sarch for Livingstone in Equatorial Africa

and as had an interview with the great
origial Carmichael.

Horde Seymour, and others. In these letters
Mr.. Greeley was reputed to have declared
himslf willing to take Democratic votes, in
casele was nominated for the Presidency by
the Liberals; that he would, if asked, favor
the ensioning of Rebel soldiers and that he
wou1 accept Democratic nomination. This
"viJ conspiracy" in which great many well
knon Democratic and Republican politicians
wer concerned, was duly substantiated by o
serB of afiidavits. These documents were all,
ever one, based on the understanding which
Mesrs John Doe Richard Roe, John Stokes,
Richrd Nokes, and others, had of the letters
with Doe heard Roe say that Stokes heard
Nols heard Others say they had of the mys-
terius letters. So, as Mr.. Carmichael of Una
dill was the repository of this mighty con-
spircy, The Herald, with its usual journalistic
enterprise, sent out an expedtionary corps to
findCarmichael. The report fills three of the
closly printed and crowded columns of our
cotmporary, and will delight the souls of the
edlbrs of those honest sheets, The Erening
Pos and The Times.

the $1,000 natives of 0sego County, and found

"reading of the Dents, jockeys, and gifts"
This dreadful state of facts, it was discovered,
exists also in Delaware, Chenango, Schohare,
and Herkimer Counties, and circumjacent re-
gions. Not finding the famous Mr. Car
michael at Unadila, the expedition started for
Oneonta, the Ujiji of Otsego, and, after Sc
ries of adventures, met the great consplrator
on tho road. We regret to say that Car
michael, at the beginning of his conversation,
showed tendency to speak lightly OF powers
and dignities. The President was frivolously
referred to as ga smoky, horsey individual )"
and tho BinghamtOn afiidavits were denounced
as false in gross and details" To the as
tonishment of the chief of The Herald expedl-
ton, Mr.. Carmichael said he had received only
five letters from Mr.. Greeley; the gist of all
these was that the writer thought Mr. Chase
should have been nominated in 1868, and that
he (AIr. Greeley could MT see his way clear to
the end of 1872. And was this ALL Allah
solutely ALL But how about the letters which
Doe, Roe, Stokes, NOkes, and others had seen
in Mr.. Carmichael's hands2 How about the
pensioning of Confederate soldiers7 Mr.. Car
michael could only say that not one word was
ever written on that topic by Mr.. Greeley
and as for tho rest of the contents OF the let
tiers, he had just given the sum and substance
thereof; and if Doe, Roe, Stokes, NOkes, and
Others, who had seen the dread documents in
his own hands, could have made treason,
stratagem and spoils out of the somewhat &c
centric handwriting Of Mr.. Greeley, they were
uncommonly smart men. And this WAS all.

talk politics, and politely turned him over to
an attach6 of The TRIBUNE. He was shown
the cOmpOsng-rOOms, the stereOtype-r00ms,
the ponderous engines. and all the machinery
of the great journal and so dismissed with
much information regarding the art OF printing.
And thus an end is made of the Great Car

density, as the Boston pundits would put 1t

are, they meant no harm; they had good in

as they wish, or even take the newspapers
they wish, because they have in some mystic
rious way been led TO believe that he
does want to be reelected. Bah! Mr..
Senator; concoct your untruths with little
more care for plausibility.
Mr.. Greeley has plainly and repeatedly avowed IN
public and in private that his political action hinges on
patronage and spols.
If some innocent were to speak of Roscoe
Copkling as a sweet-tempered person and
gentleman, he could MT get laughed at for q
more ludicrOus untruth. If MIR. Conklng
means by this language to describe Mr..
Greeley's position in the Seward letter, then
the realers of THE TRIBUNE, who know that
interesting document pretty well, have an OPP
portunily for an accurate decision as to how
far he can be trusted in describing anything.
But enough. We have given Mr.. Conk-
ling great deal more space than he deserves
These shnders, misrepresentation, garblings.

from his speech with no purpose of defending
Mr. Greeley, but only of making little
palmer t, the citizens of New-York their re-
markable possession-a Senator who can toss
off things like these every five minutes
throughout three hours speech as easily as
as he ca talk.

1LdBAWd-CINCTNNATT.

Alabama has lately enjoyed the services in
Washington of two imported Senators. Mr..
Geo. T.. Slencer, young man from Iowa, was
sent down to Alabama in May, 1867, as Reg
lister in Bankruptcy, and within trifle over
a year he succeeded in going to Washington
with the commission of United States Senator.
He had n, property in the State, pays no
taxes therenow, and practically has no home
there. Mr.. Willard Warner, at the close of
the war, invested $4,000 in ali Alabama
plantation getting 1000 acres in cultivation
in 1866, which he managed personally without
an overSeer The next year he purchased
another plmtation, which he still owns, which
he has planted each year since, and from
which he derives his subsistence. In 1868,
after Through identification of this sort
with the State in which he had cast his
fortunes AMI made his home, he was elected
TO the State Legislature, and after that to the
United Stats Senate.
Of these TWO Senators, Mr.. Spencer supports
Gen. Grant, who supports him Mr.. Warner
has long heitated to make an ayOwal of his
position les he should be accused of shaping
his conduct in public affairs by private griev-
hama were defeated through the Vaccinations
OF Spencer, Mr.. Warner took the Collector
slip of Mobile as a means of keeping
the party together, and the gentlemen
who signed his bail bond were William
Teoumseh Sherman and Alexander Cattell.
Not q charge was brought against his Official
conduct, but presently it became necessary, in
the Spencerinterest to prescribe him at home.
Then he was offered. the mission to Brazil, as
means of holding him faithful to the Grant
interest Secretary Deano was sent to him to
ak if he would accept any bureau office in
Washington. Other offers were made after
he pleasant Pleasonton fashion, which Gen.
ichurz has brought to fame. Mr.. Warner de-
lined all positions, and remains quietly in
Alabama.
We print on our second page this morning
tie letter in which he finally declares his rea-
sns as a Republican for supporting the Gin
cinati nominees against those of Philadel-
pia. Few of those jealous partisans who will
r0ile him for this act can show so good or so
log a Republican record as Mr.. Warner. He

pUllcdH, HcNcl NolOu Doiho'i"'iN 'i' 80
hlife, was an enthusiastic delegate at the
Convention which first nominated Lincoln,
an has been active alike in his native and
adpted States in the service of the Repub-
lien party ever since. His letter is but
apther Illustration of the great and growing
tedency among the best and truest Pepub-
lms away from Grant, the pro-
SKery Democrat of 1860, to Greeley, one of
tn fathers and founders of the Republican

pnciples to protect.

Let us give just one moment more TO me Ne'o-
York Times and its spies. 1t denounced the haDt Oh
sending spies to sneak about the Presidents home
and report his conversations with his guests wherein
we heartily concurred. 1t sent spies TO sneak about
Mr.. Greeley's home and report his conversations
with his guests. 1t pretended that reporters
from other papers had been professionally
invited to that homo (which was falsel and there
fore justified its performance in sending its report
ers unlimited, to skulk in concealment and report
what they could hear, with tenfold amplihcatlon
and infinite classification. It's only other excuse was
that The TRIBUNE once printed an account of what
was done at Chappaqua, and therefore 1t was right
in holding everything done there public property.
There was lately one semipublis occasion at Chap
paqua. The gentlemen of the National Democratic
Committee, appointed to wait on Mr.. Greeley, were
publicly invited to his home and of their presence
and savings some mention was made. Nobody ever
complained Of The Neio York Times for that. What 1t
has done has been TO send spies about the
grounds on other occasions, to publish their
ridiculous ctons about Mr. Greeley and brutaliues
about his family and to boast Of its intention to
continue the practice In consequence, Mr.. Greeley
has been obliged to say to his friends and TO casual
callers that it il no longer possible for him to re-
coive them at his accustomed hours, at hts home

GILL SERVICE HONESTY.

What our demOralized civil service Is coming
TO under the rule of the reelectiOnsts may be
seen from the list which we publish to-day Of
nearly one hundred cases of robbery and de-
falcation committed by Of6ce-holders under
the present Administration. 1t Is by no means
complete list, for the official records never
tell the full story of thefts. No man is Off
cialIy reckoned defaulter until suit has been
actually brought against him for the recovery
of the stolen money. If he has friends pow
erful enough to induce the Government to
hush the matter up, the case is never reported
at all, and the public knows nothing about it
unless it be discovered by the vigilance OF the
newspapers Still the terrible array of names
and figures which we publish will suffice to
show how deeply corruption has eaten into
the civil service. All classes of placemen are
embraced in this damaging catalogue, from
the paymaster who embezzes half O million
dollars down to the letter-carrier who steals
valentines and garden seeds. The amount of
money involved is not in all cases known;
but so far as ascertained it reaches the fol-
lowing figures in the different departments of
the Administration

MR.. GERRIT SMITH ONCE MORE.

When we showed that Mr. Gerrit Smith,
who now declares that it would be burning
shame to break up well established party
like the Republican, was perfectly willing 10
break it up in 1859, we were savagely charged
with slandering that fine old philanthropist.
To be sure, we gave in his own words MI

For reprintng these opinions-Of MIR. Smith,
originally and voluntarily printed and pub
lisbed by himself, we have been so taken to
task by a certain newspaper remarkable tOr

stances, to leave the Republican party in 1868,
Just as he was ready to leave it in 1869. AS

would give him good, satisfactory candidate
in 1872 he exclaims: by all that is abhorrent

Democratic party must be kept out of

How much the Government has actually lost
by these fraudulent transactions we cannot
tell. The national accounts, which in so many
respects seem to be calculated expressly to
conceal what ought to be public, and to make
known what nobody wants to know, will not
enIghten us. This, however, is not of primary
importance. Neither is it essential to know
whether President Grant appointed all these
robbers to Office Some of them were men of
bad character, and ought never to have been
taken into the Government service. Others
were reputable citizens, whom nobody believed
capable of wrong-doing till they were found
out. The blame falls properly on an Admin
istration so loose that it did not prevent
this enormous thievery at the rate of mil
lion a year, and SO careless or so corrupt that
it still leaves numbers of the criminals I'M
whpt of justice. Paymaster Hodge continued
his depredatons for years, and the pay de-
partment of the army declares that with rea-
sonable vigilance at the Treasury such thefts
ought to have been impossible-an opinion in
which most impartial persons will concur.
Hodge has been punished; but what of
othersf Reed, defaulting Postmaster at jack
sonyille, Fla, was merely dismissed from Of
fee he is the son OF Governor; Edwlns,
convicted of ENLIGHTENMENT in the Treasury
Department, has been pardoned by the Presi-
dent after few months confinement; Hull
bird was reappOinted Controller of the
Currency while he was on trial for taking
brides, and on conviction he was merely re-
ouested TO resign; Britton, defaultng United
States Marshal in Arkansas, after defraudmg
the Government of $4,000, was dismissed
and reinstated Palfrey Ogden, and Merrick,
dishonest Customs officers, were simply re-
moved. And so with others.
What sort of vigilance is this which allows
certainly over three millions, and probably
very much more, to be stolen from the Treas
ury in about three ycarsF What manner of
