A Carter man testi6es that Warmoth de-

The same witness testifes that sixteen of
Warmoth's legislative supporters had
acted as Registers of Election in violation
of law But few moments later, it
transpired that Carter himself had acted
as 1icgister at his own election. Carter
testified that there were two sworn secret
rings in the Legislature, whose sole OBJ
ject was booty; and that the members
who did not belong to either were known
as ''free lances," who were independent
because it paid better to hold the balance
Of power than to be in either ring. From
Carter's Statements the ratio of honest

Collection of the Revenue.

What gives the people confidence in
| the administration Of President Grant,
is the fact, that the revenue is being
more thoroughly collected and the pro-
cceds more honestly applied than ever
before. Besides, deiaulters, as soon as
discovered, are promptly dealt with.
| But the amount of detalcations and
| losses to the government are designedly
misrepresented. Tammany stole more in
one year than all the officers of the gov
ernment have for the past five years
| Considering the amount Of money that is
handled the defalcations are wonderfully
small, and the number of dishonest Of
| fcials surprisingly few, OF collectors of
Internal Revenue, seven appointed by
Lincoln, twenty-three appointed by John
son and ten appointed by Grant show a
deficiency in their accounts, the Lincoln
men of $62 Sl09l the johnson of $797,-
963. Sc and the Grant men of $l75, 995.
Suits have been commanded against all
these men and against their bondsmen.
But the aggregate amount of defalca-
tions compared with the aggregate
amount Of receipts and expenditures
shows remarkably small percentage of
loss. The Chicago Journal gives the
figures as follows:
Receipts. 1,165, 523, 169. rs
Expenditures. 924, ,697 .O25. 80
Aggregate te.......... $1,000, 900, / 96. SO
Defalca $l,2S2, ,963. 64
This is barely equal to one-sixteenth
Of one per cent. on the dollar. Ofcourse
if it were possible for the President to
know and appoint only strictly honest
and capable men to Office the public loss
would be very small. As this is impos
sible, the wonder is, considering the pres
sure for places, that more dishonest men
do not secure positions We can congra-
discovery of dishonesty is followed by
ton.
The pretended discovery Of great fraud
in the management of the Custom House
in New Y York, turns out 20 be fraud of
itself. There are abuses, and abuses
which demand a remedy. In some cas-
es subordinates have been bribed, and
overcharges made on packages. The
general order business has been to some
extent a monopoly by which few men
have made money. But the evidence
shows that abuses Of this kind have ex-
listed for years, and that President Grant
is not responsible for them. Moreover,
1t is the merchants who have a right to
complain The loss to the government
has been nothing, excepting In few
cases which have been compromised.
| More revenue was collected at less cX-
pense under the much-abused Tom Muir
ply, than under any Of his predecessors.
Steps have already been taken to correct
these evils so far as exposed, bills having
been introduced into the Senate by Sc
nators Fenton and Sherman. The re-
suit will show that the Republican party
favors both investigation and correction
