THE LESSON OF THE STEERAGE.

Lest some injudiciOus and absurd writer,
without just conception of the duties and
obligations of journalism, may mistake the
purpose and the scope of the article which we
publish elsewhere, showing the abuses to
which Immigrants are subjected abroad, at
sea, in Castle Garden, and the Emigrant
Boarding Houses of New York, and on the
Emigrant Trains of our Railways, we will
begin by saying that in the prepara-
ton of the material we have been
aided at getting at the whole truth by
none so much as the steamship managers
and the Commissioners of Emigration, who
have most to lose or to gain by the develop
ments And we will here add, in justice to
all concerned, and for the general credit of
humanity, that in all our exposures, whether of
Debtor Jail or Insane Asylum abuses official
or commercial frauds, we have found none so
ready 70 aid and advance reform as those
most deeply involved and most severely
reflected upon as responsible for mismanage-
ment and corruption. 1t has invariably
proved, as the result of our investigations,
that while the responsibilities were placed
upon the leading managers or officials,
the abuses complained of were wholly by SUBJ
ordinates, and that an exposure being made,
the responsible or managing men were eager
and honest in their effort at reform. AS the
general plan of an expedition may be correct
and be satisfactorily executed, and yet the
details be carried out most imperfectly, so it
happens frequently,-nay, almost invariably
that while the managers of great corporations
and important public offices are faithful in |
the general supervision the subordinates in |
the discharge Of their detailed duties commit |
the grossest Outragcs.

THE BEGGING-LETTER WRITERS.
*. Who is a proved blackmailer.

The Administration, which levies its little
testimonials from soldiers widows and poor
Custom house clerks, of course does not spare
the letter-carriers-nay we dare say it lays
its finger upon the dollar week of the boy
who sweeps the office, and the hard-earned
shillings of its private cooks and washer
women. Here in New York the official tax
gatherer goes about his work with little
more respect to the lettor of the Civil Service
rules than he has shown in some other places;
but his rapacity is none the better for being
little disguised. Mr.. Hugh Gardner, CHAIR
"man the State Executive Committee" writes
letter to Col. George f. Hopper, Treas
"urer Soldiers and Sailors State Committee"
appointing him Assistant Treasurer "to solicit
"and collect subscriptions" and Col. Hopper
sends to every letter-carrier copy OF Mr.
Gardner's communication, with the following
nOte
DEAR SIR: Referring to the above, peg to call your
attention to the necessity and proprety Of all friends OF
the Republican cause giving their aid in defraying the
legitimate large outlay required in the present con-
test and to ask from you contribution 10 be used for
that purpose supporter Of the Republican party ana

you will cheerfuy respond to this request and will be
happy to receive your subscription or before the SOth

Assistant Treasurer Republican State Committee.
The victim is privately made to understand
that $25 is about the sum expected of him.
That is great deal to ask of man on a
salary of $40 a week; but it is not more than
Grant will need if he means to be elected.

Senator James OBrien. with that supreme con-
tempt for truth which has always characterized
him, lately declared he had information which
justified the belief that he would get greater
majority for Mayor than any other candidate
could get votes. On the night of the mass
meeting it was clearly demonstrated by the
numbers in the parade headed by Alderman
Croker that O'Brien could not carry his own
ward. Subsequently he boasted that a Liberal
club in his district would hoist the names OF
Grant and Dix, and turn against Greeley and
Herman. Since then the Senator himself has
been forced by his own adherents to pro-
nounce for Herman. Evidently in politics
Senator O'Brien is of the catfish Order-a
species described as "a bullhead, extremely
"yoracious." Both the ichthyOlOgical descrip-
ton and political definition aptly fit the

Grants Opa is dreadfully annoyed that we should
insist on the trial of its new ally Tweed and hyster
cally demands to know why we don't insist on the
arraignment of Sweeny and Hall and Connolly
Now. it isn't possible that that journal is ignorant
that its friend Connolly has turned States evidence
for it is very well understood that The N. Y
Times has always been in the confidence of Connolly,
who was the only member of the Ring in favor of
paying its other friend OBrien's fraudulent bills.
But as il seems ignorant of the facts, will tell it
that Mr. Connolly is not to be tried at all; that
Attorney-General Barlow is understood to have
compromised with him on condition that he ekes out
the evidence of Garvey which Judge DAILY would
not admit on Mayor Halls trial Possibly the Iea:
son why Halls trial is not resumed is that the evi-
denc5 is not satisfactory to the prosecution, with
whom it rests to begin again. Certainly The ~ Y.
Times cannot complain that opportunity has not been
offered it to establish ts charges against Hall 1t
offered to prove him thief and being put on the
stand before Grand Jury it established only that 1t
was itself an impersonaity without any opinion and

and Garyey and Connolly as witnesses; and with
them ample evidence send Tweed To States Prison.

spite of Murphy, The n. Y. Times, and all his new

The sad-eyed jeremiah of The Erening Post, who
prophesies from Washington, gave us this doleful
wall. last night:
The Democratic Liberal Campaign Committee here are
much exercised the reports received from Indiana
that that state Is probably lost to the Democrats OcO
ber by OF the alleged colonization OF colored
from Kentucky and Tennessee. At the Liberal
Headquarters desp0ndent feeling prevails, and even
Greeleys tour through Ohio. Kentucky and Indiana has
served 10 inspire the leaders with hopes of achieving
success In November.
Considering that the prospects Of the Liberal
cause were never brighter, the only explanation of
this gratuious bit of information is that the writer
cannot conceal his joy at the prospect Of carrying
Indiana for Grant by coonizing negroes from Kon-
lucky and Tennessee.
In England any misguided person who sells any
aslulterated article whatever is fined ESQ for the
first ofonse, and for the second gets six months i'm
prisonment with hard labor. And these penalties
arc enforced vigorously. What comfort it would
be If We could have little law and little energy
in this direction here There might be less assassi

Here is richness. The revolution in Erie
which ousted Jay Gould put in John A. Dix.
THE TRIBUNE meekly inquired what Gen. Dix
did in less than three months to warrant his
drawing salary as a reform officer from this
impoverished and thief-ridden corporation at
the rate of sixty thousand dollars per annum
Thereupon The N. Y. Times, as of counsel for

he knew of and shared in the swindling, what

New-York tribune., 1872-09-25

Facts and figures of great importance were
yesterday brought out at the session of the
Milk Producers Convention. Reports show
that an honest attempt on the part of the pro-
ducers to get pure, unadulterated milk into
the city, in their own vessels, has been fought
with bitterness and rage by the middlemen.
Last Winter, THE TRIBUNE showed that the
dangerous and cheating manipulation of milk
consumed in the city was the work of the
middlemen, with scarcely an exception. This
is abundantly proved now, as it was then,
by the statements of the producers.
1t is shown that the country product
falls far below the city consumption (;
the excess is made up of foreign materials
added by city venders. And the producers
are at last reused into self-protection by the
discovery of the fact that their business is
kept down by the substitution of an artificial
compound for the natural product. We will
not stop to inquire how long it would have
taken the dairymen to see the enormity of this
crime against consumers if they had not, like
Mr. McNaughton, found they only got $G2 40
for that for which somebody else received
s270 when diluted. 1t is good sign that the
milkmen have resolved to do something for
their own protection. They will thus protect
their customers.

With Owlish gravity it is announced from
Washington, in a semi-official manner, that it
has been determined to make large number
of appointments to clerkships under the new
Civil Service rules. We wonder if the Exam
iners who are detailed for this farce do not
think of the well-worn story of the Roman
augurs, who did not dare look at each other
during their mummeries lest they should burst
out in laughter.
