ing.l
In dispolling the illusion of the proscriptive-
ness of the Republican party he alluded to the
number Of ex-confederate officers now in Con-
gress, and the leniency of the Republican par
~ in punishing obnoxious rebels.
In Mr. Johnson term the debt had been con-
siderably reduced, but the last thirteen months
of his administration the debt had increased
S46000000 Since Gen. Grant had come into
office he had reduced the debt at the rate of
500, 100000 n year.
Mr.. Maynard closed with the, hope Of the
their sentiments untrammeled by fear Of being
molested.
His remarks were greeted with great APP
plause.
Hr. JohnsOn's ReiOiuder.
Gen. Cheatham being absent Mr.. johnson
took his place. He had been edited as well as
the audience by Mr.. Maynard's remarks, and
thought they had taken the character Of faciti-
ousness and jocularity instead of solid argu-
ment. Abiding to finances he asked what the
State was doing with her bonded debt. Not
dollar Of interest was being paid. The bonds
were worth sixty or sixty-hve cents on the
| dollar and treasury certificates eighty cents.

| luding to the school system, when Mr. May

have mixed schools, he showed his competi-
| tors former opinion on the common herd "eu-
| thanasia," the negro question, &c. Thanking
the audience for the patient hearing given, he
| retired.
Mr.. Maynard's Reioinder.
Replying to the charge of "euthanasa' he said
the coored man couldn't be fooled. The school
question alluded to, he was glad had been
brought up, and showed that he opposed em
barrassing amendments from enemies and voted
for the bill. With ioculia allusion to the
military rank of his competitors, one of whom
was Brgader in the Federal and the other q
Major General in the Confederate army, and
thanking the crow for their great patience and
attention he bowed and retired.
1t was source of annoyance, doubtless, to
the candidates that their friends had not pre-
: pared for their coming, no stand being erected
and it is TO be hoped that in the future no such
omission will occur. The patience of the large
crowd in attendance was somewhat surprising,
considering the fact that with the rejoinders the
discussion lasted nearly six hours.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, MARCH S. 1872

he never received any share Of the profits OF
the General Order business, and he testlhes
that Leet's share of the expenses OF the famous
"messn was so small as to be mere baga-
telle-only forty or fifty dollars month.
He likewise furnishes letter which he
(Porter) wrote to Collector Murphy, warning
him against persons who might come to New
York pretending to have White House recon-
mendations for official favors. None such
were genuine.
This ia n fair summary Of the evidence
given yesterday before the Senate Committee
by Gen. Porter, who says that he is civil
secretary to the President Of the United States,
drawing pay as a Colonel in the Army. Against
the seeming asseverations of Colonel Porter,
we have on record the testimony OF George ~
Leet, variOusly known in the testimony as Colo
mel, Captain, Lieutenant, and Mr." that he cot
his Custom-ho job by using letter of the
President to Collector Grinnell, dated March
0, 1862 five days after the inauguration, In
which the President certified to Leet's fitness
" for business Of almost any kind" We also
have It in Leets evidence that he talked with
the President about the General Order bust
ness before the Inauguration, and that when
he Ueet) commenced March o.. 1869, to talk
about the affair with Mr.. Grinnell, the Presi-
dent turned to his table, and. without
word, wrote and handed him the aforemen-
toned letter to the incoming Collector of New
York. What use is there of pursuing this sub
iect any further7 What is the point in pa
rading the White House letters to Collector
Murphy, warning him against persons who
might come to him with pretenses of having
the confidence and recommendation OF the
President and his Military Secrctariesf We
make no doubt that the intentions of these
letter-wrters were very good. Lcet was al
ready in possession he could not be dis
turbed letters written to Murphy after l.eet
was in, have no relevancy whatever here.
We repeat that this new and much-trumpeted
testimony does not affect the case appreclably.
1t only proves what has heretofore been charged,
by its conspicuous absence of any knowledge
concerning vital points at issue. Whether the
Porter-Leet "mess" in Washington did or did
not share in the handsome profits OF the New
York member of the concern is not material.
Gen. Porter says they did not; Mr.. Lindsay
swears that Leet's plea for more pap was
based on the hunger of his Washington COM
radcs, or their costlness2of living. 1t is in
evidence that Leet got his General Order job
by using the Presidents influence; that the
circumstances of A. Il. Stewart and other
merchants were unavailing to choke him off;
that the President knew exactly what Leet
was about, and that various members Of his
staff did. Gen. Porter's testimony touches
none of these points.

If any incrcdulous and just-minded person
has had doubts as to the ultimate establishment
of the charges of The TRIBUNE against the
Harbor-Masters, he may dispel them now. The
investigation by the Assembly Subcommittee
on Navigation and Commerce, yesterday,
proves cOnclusively the substance and form
of these charges. Men testified to receiving
brides for keeping vessels at the piers; to
paying for the privilege of taking i'll cargo;
and after one member of towing concern
had perimed himself by swearing that
the firm had never paid anything for
sly monopoly Of the towing OF
certain district, the other member
convicted his partner by testifying that that
identical partner paid 81 900 for that privilege.
The whole inquiry shows exactly what TIE
TRIBUNE has repeatedly charged: that the So
called harbOr regulations of NewYOrk are
used as cover for all sorts of nefariOus trans
actions; that commerce is oppressed; that the
ordinary rights of ships and shipmasters are
bought and sold and that honest competition
in business is made impossible by system of
black mail and bribery that would do credit
to the administration of the displaced CarnO-
chan. Now that these things are proven, we
may hope for their abatement.

The circulation Of obscene books and pictures has
increased so alarmingly of late, especially among
the school children of this city and Brooklyn that
stringent measures have become absolutely neces-
sary to check the evil A society, we believe, has
been recently and OPPORTUNITY formed here to this
end and q descent was made last Saturday upon
some of the most notorious dealers several of whom
are now in Jail OF under bonds awaiting prosecution
While the authorities, spurred on by this society,"
NAV be safely left to bring these offenders to justice
it remains the duty of every parent and every
teacher to be continually the alert to thwart the
introduction Of this moral leprosy among those
intrusted to their guardianship. 1t is a startling
but too we'll established fact that child who
to a school of any kind in this vicinity, or even
passes along the street with other children is safe
from the sly distributors of these pestilent publ
cations In repeated instances of Late the most care
full of parents and instructors have been shocked to
find such books aud pictures in the possession of
children ofTine ten years, who had received them
az gifts, with an injunction to keep them concealed
and particular information to where Others might
be bought. Such agencies of pollution operate SO
rapidly in soing the purity Of childrens minds and
corrupting their lives, that teachers end parents
cannot possibly be too vigilant in guarding against
these bats of the Devil.

knows no more than Surveyor Cornell, whose
mind was as an unwritten page when
he was examined on the subject
of New-York politics and Custom

about his discussing the General Order bust

he does not know what Mr.. A. Il. Stewart
thought about that swindle though he cannot
deny the Grinnell- Porter dinner, nor the
conversations with Mr.. Stewart. He is, how
ever very sure that Mr.. Midget, who said
that Porter was interested in the General
