A New scandal.

Nothing is to be expected ba! fraud
and corruption in every department Of
the government. The commission OF
the United States to the Vienna Expo.
sition has been discharged for alleged
corruption. This commission was ap-
pointed BY the United States that tue
arts, industries, &c of this country
might DO appropriately represented At
Vienna. Ii was thought there could
10 no rom for speculation or jObbery.
Bu. it was found there was "mouey in
it," It is charged that some Of tie
commission arc the paid agents Of man
ufactarcrs in this country; and what is
worse, it was supposed by some Of the
beverage vendors that within tue limits
Of tho Exposition grounds would DO Il
fine position for their stalls, and the
time a splendid opportunity for their
business, therefore at the hands Of the
commission they purchase permits tc
occupy the ground. lfthcse and sim.
liar charges that are brought againsI
lhem are true, what a ri,iablO picture
our country presents in thocycs cf the
many countries that will be represented
at Vienna.
