Special Dispatch to the New York Times.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 1.-The General Or
der business, as it now exists, is doomed
The President will shortly issue an order
to break up the present system utterly.
Just what will be decided upon TO take its
place is not yet fully determined, but that
the Treasury and the Collector of the port
of New York, who is by law responsible at
all times and under all circumstances for
the faithful collection of the revenue. The
President may or may not await the report
of the Senate Investigating Committee.
The ground on which he will abolish it is
that it is an erroneous tax on merchants,
that its existence has always edgendered
commercial and political discomfort, and
that the transaction of such business
should be placed on basis where it can
not be affected by political or personal in
nuence.

is in progress, taught by 4. y. and w. 4.

to state that the people of Sewer county
are alive to their interests in the line of
education, especially in this district We
hope they will continue so, and in time
they will look upon these efforts as the
most prudent Of their lives. Let the flame
spread from hill to hill; from island to

The Fanatic.

The Quaker poet, Whittier, last
week wrote 10 Senator Sumner: cam
ncsty for rebels and guarantee of
safety for the freedmen should go to-
gether." In other words, the white
man must remain a slave until he
comedies tho negro to be his superior
and master Hypocrites like Whitti-
er, away down IN Massachusetts,, used
to shed tears as large as hickory nuts,
while 100000 Of negroes were in
slavery, but now when they have TO-
100000 of whites in the same condi.
ton they oppose freedom as glibly as
harlot proclams her virtue on The
street corner. Whittier comes from a
stock who had their ears cropped and
their tongues cut out, and some even
hanged, in sight of the Yankee blar
ney.stone, Plymouth Rock, the au
thors Of which he and his school have
denounced as tic worst enemies o.
the human race. Yet the "pcople o.
God" only murdered, mutilated
hanged and banished a few Quaker
and Baptists, while Whittier desir
es to treat ten millions no better
Such is fanataesm in every age anC
cline. The mon and women whit

and denounced the masters as thieves

The Ergns Robbery.

The Legislative investigating CON
mittce has finally gone 10 work to
hunt up the 100000 robbery pcrpc,
tratcd on the State Treasury by a ring
of loyal scalawags who stand high in
the Radical church,
Our readers are aware that a poor
devil named George o. Evans was
arrested for porpetrating the robbery,
But the investigation, although just
commenced, shows that he was only
used as n cats-paw to scratch the
chostnuts out Of the fire, for which he
has lost what little character ho had,
and whether he got TO keep any Of
the money is not yet so fully dovol
oped.
The committee has found $4,000 Of
the money. John w, Forney, The
virtuous editor of the Philadelphia
Press, upon his oath before the com
mittoe, stated that he had got S2,OOC
of the stolen money, given TO him by
his cousin d. c. Forney, Tho latter
Forney swears that he got $4,000
from his Excellency John W Geary
and was to have had $4,000, bu
Goary cheated him out Of $4,000, bu
says he is ready to receive it at any
time that Gcary secs fit to hand i
over.
Col. McMichael swears that he col
lectod Just as much money at Wash
ington for the State as Evans did, bu
that he only got 81 400, while Evan
& Co. got s29O,OOO
Pretty work for the loyal Cover
nor and the patriotic Forneys' /
pays to be loyal these degenerate
times.

Col. FoRNEY UNBosoMs.-Grant's
Collector of the Port of Philadelphia
and editor Of the Press, was called be.
fore the Legislative Committee last
week to tell what he knew about the
Evans robbery. The gallant Colonel
answered the questions Of the Com.
mittco in the following manly man.
ner:
Q.-subsequent to the passage Of this rcsolu-
tion, aud after the receipt Of moneys by Mr.
Evans from the United States government, do you
know Of any division Of the commission retained
by Mr. Eyansl
A.-Nothing, except land | suppose that is tho
object Of my being summoned here my cousin, j.
c, Foney, was one Of his sub-agents. | don't
know when he was appointed.
Q.-Do you know Of Mr.. ID. c. Fornoy having
received any money!
A.--Yes sir. lie received $4,000 Of Mr.. Evans,
| think So, 1000 Of which he handed to me, which
| received believing II to have been fairly earned,
an opinion which has been subsequently confirm
ed BY the judgment Of your local courts he re-
ceiycd this amount last summer, | think from
Mr.. Evans.
Q.-Upon what account was the $4,000 handed
to your
Al suppose, because Of our rolationsj Ger
tainly not because Of any services rendered
] rendered none ] know nothing Of the disposi-
ti0n Of this money, other than of tie $1,000
speak Of; must have given Mr.. Evans the let-
ter Of introduction to tie Governor after the pas
sage Of the resolution.
Democrat and LoyalisI, there is the
way your money goes. And these
thieves have the impotence to say
after they are arrested that their i'll.
gotten gains "have been fairly earn.
ed" The opinion Of tho court to
which Forney alludes is worth about
as much as Fornoy's in this case. 1t
seems that tho whole country, like
Europe, is just now ruled, and well
nigh ruined, by relations-blooded
families and thieves.

The SAT- Siriwdles.

1t would hardly bo credited were it
not patont fact that somo half dozen
salt mandarns from Onondaga, Mich
igan, and othor places, in solemn pro
ccssion marched up TO tho capitol on
Wednesday, invaded the Senate finance
committee room, and there in tho most
eloquent strains (their spokesman be.
ing q silvor tongued judgo) protested
not only against tho repeal of the salt
duty, but against even the reduction
Of tho duty. They Of course paid n
like visit to the ways and means com
miltee on The following day. These
salt mandarins, wealthy much above
the average OF rich men, much of their
wealth squeezed out Of the poorest
negro and hard working soamen who
live on salt provisions--these salt mill
ionaircs have the eifrontery to plead
for another years plumber by the help
of government power in the infamous
salt tax-for a year or two longer TO
rob the people, Could they but have
been inspired by the goddess of Truth
this would have been the speech Of the
salt mandarins: We, tho owners of the
Onondaga salt works, took advantage
some twelve years ago Of the misior.
tunes Of a broken down salt corpora.
tion, got into our hands (only some
six or eight Of us) all the property for
n nero song, say twenty cents OF thirty
cents on the dollar. Congress kindly
helped us by the salt duty to aecumu-
late some millions Of dollars, ard wcro
we to reckon our yearly divisions sim.
ply upon tho capital invested over
twelve years ago it would amount to
an average of some 1000 per cent.
per annum. We have grown rich and
powerful. We enjoy comfortable in,
comes-s20,000, $4,000, 100000 an.
nually. Have you got the heart 70
rob us now of this income? We have
no respect for the divine rights oj
kings or queens, but surely We always
had and hope we still may have respect
for tho divine rights of millionres
which we, the Onondaga salt owners
really are. Beside, look at tho igius
tice of the the thing, Our formerrcp
rescntative, tho wise M Carthy, phin
ly told you two years ago that The
whole salt tax is only six and Dne
quarter cents per capita Is there
any hardship in that? But looS a
the hardship it would be TO US if gor
, relieve tho people with this six lnc

If anybody wants to know how
Radicals conduct elections in Phila.
delphia, let them read Col, MoClures
statement in another column. Reader
If they cheat one another in this man
ner at elections, how do you suppose
they treat Democrats Tho election
in the Fourth Senatorial district two
weeks ago is an exact copy OF tho
conduct of the Radicals in Phlladcl
phia last October, Tho Democratic
candidates had n majority OF at least
5000 legal votes, but the Radical ruff
fans counted them out and gave the
other side 5000 majority, If these
fellows stuffed tho ballot boxes TO the
tuno of 5000 in poll of $4,000, no
wonder they succeeded so well in Il
poll of 100000.
Col. Mcclure is now before the
Senate with his ease, and the rovela
tions are really startling already
although tho contest has scarcely
opened
An immense meeting was hold in
Philadelphia on Wednesday last by
those who favor honesty in elections
as well as in business, and right wei
did the ring, ballot box suffers ant
repcaters como in for good denunci
alton. To our mind the rascals have
gone too far with their frauds. The
Radical cart has been upset, and next
October will clean the nest out in tha
city.
The late half million robbery of th'
city, by the Treasurer, is directly
traceablo to an organized ring o
robbers who stand at the head Of th,
Radical party in Philadelphia, uni
form with the Evans robbery ring n
