A Tardv Reform.

A telegram from Washington, datet
Sunday, says the President has ordered
Secretary BOUTWELL, and Collector Ar
THUR to prepare some substitute for th,
New York general order warehouses, and
put 1t into operation as soon as the repor
Of the committee Is made. Unquestiona
bly, this very proper order, but 1t Is ont
that ought to have been made lonf
ago. Ever since Senator PATTERsoN's
ltetrenchment Committee made their in.
vestigation and report on this general
order scandal, Secretary BOUTWELL, and
other Treasury officers have wanted the
President to do what he Is at last re.
ported TO have done, but some influence
more potent than that Of the Secretary oI
the Treasury has kept LERT and sFoCK.
ING and their fellow plunderers in their
places and at their work Of extortion and
robbery. Now It Is stated at the Treasury
Department that the investigation com.
mittee which has just concluded It's labors
in New York, has not brought to light
any facts not already known there, but
that the testimony substantiates all the
charges made by Mr.. PATTERSON
in his report submitted about ono year
ago. When the proposition to make this
investigation was being angrily debated
in the Senate, 1t was stated by Senator
PATTERSON and others that abundant
evidence as to the corrupt practices in
the general order business were to be
found in the sworn testimony taken by
Mr. PATTERsoN's committee; that that
testimony had long been in the hands Of
the President, and that on the strength Of
II Mr.. boutwell, had urged that the
abuses disclosed by that testimony be
reformed. Itwas asked then, and peril
nently, why they had not been reformed,
the matter depending entirely on the
will of the President; and 1t is an inquiry
even more pertinent now. If there is
need Tor this reform now, there was need
for ii year ago, and the President knew
then just what he knows now about this
need. But public opinion had not then
ripened as 1t has since into the stern de.
mand that now exists that corruption and
public plunder, whether in high places or
low, shall have an end The debate in the
Senate and the wide publication Of the tes.
timony taken during the recent investiga-
ton have concentrated the attention of the
whole country upon the abuses Of the
New York Custom House, and the public
demand for reform, greatly intensified
within few months by the developments
in the municipal affairs of New York, Is
too powerful and persistent TO be longer
ignored. President Grant dare not longer
refuse to clean out the den of thieves in
the New York Custom House. The order
to do this is in the right direction and we
hope to see it promptly and relentlessly
enforced; but candor compels us to say,
as to President Grant, that we should
have a better opinion Of his sincerity in
protesting desire to reform the civil ser.
