FAILURES IN 1872.

According to q statement published by
the Mercantile Agency, of Edward Russell
& Co., of Boston, the failures among bust
ness and mercantile men in 1872, number
4,0S9, and their liabilities AMOUNT to
S121, 056,000. This is an immense increase
over 1871. In that year the number Of fail
ures was 2,915, andthe amount of liabilities
$50, 252,000. In their circular announcing
these facts, Messrs. Russell & Co. say: "The
figures exhibit an increase in the nun Der
of failures and amount of liabilities for 1872
over the two preceding years, which is
somewhat startling al first sight, but little
consideration will show that large proper
ton of this increase is due to the great fires in
Chicago and Boston, and, therefore, is not
chargeable 10 the ordinary calualties of bus
iness. l. is true the Chicago fire occurred
In October, IS II, but its effects were not
fully manifested till the beginning of the
following year, aud hence the losses caused
thereby came under the returns of 1871.
This is observable by the increase of liabil.
tiles for the State of Illinois, viz. from So
$4,000 in 1871 to S11,470,000 in 1872.
Taking into account these items, the exhib-
it is not, after ali, so discouraging, and al
though the year 1872 has not been, strictly
speaking, a money-making year, still it has
not been made disastrous by heavy credit
losses, except so far as relates to the fires
above named"

REPUBLICAN REFRENCHMENT AND
REFORM


The total amount of the various appro-
prlation bills passed at the last session of
Congress exceeds the amount of the pre-
vious session at least fifty-four millions of
dollars. This is bad showing for 8 party
pledged to retrenehment and reform. This
sort of s'retrenchment" win almost make
the taxpayers squeal. Now as to the mat
ter of reform. We have seen whas the Re-
publican minority in Congress did about
the Credit Mobilier scandal 1t was a
Damaging exposure, but the guilty parties,
all Republicans, were whitewashed, and
are to-day in as full and influential fell
lowship with their Republican brethren
as before their scandalous transactions
were exposed. The action of the majority
in Congress is tantamount to saying to
them they are bsameable only for being
caught. A large number of Republican
Senators are VIGOROUSLY guilty of having
bought their way Into the United States
Senate, and it will require more than the
ordinary cracking of his whip by that ex-
pert whipper-in, Senator Morton, to bring
the dismayed Republican Senators up to
the point of voting to expel these buyers of
Office. But this is not all. The act of
Congress of July II, 1862, provides that any
officer or agent of the United
States receiving public money shall
render monthly accounts to the Treas
ury Department, within ten days after
the expiration of each month, and any off
Ger neglecting to make such return shall be
deemed defaulter. This looks like a very
plain sort of q law-one easily understood;
and yet it has come out that none of the
accounts of the warehousing department of
the Custom House in New York, have
been rendered at the Treasury Department
for the last year! On the first day of July,
1870, there was due to the government on
this account S21, 962,4 40. The last account
settled was for June, 1871. 1t is per-
tinent question to ask why the defaulting
officer has not been made subjects the
law provides be shall be-to all the
penalties prescribed by the sixteenth
section of the Acs of August 6,
1852, providing for the safe-keeping of the
public money? In these halcyon days of
progress and Radical rule default for over
twenty millions is a mere bGgGteLle /; and
yet old men will remember how deeply
mortified were all the supporters of Mr..
Adams, when, in the spring of 1929, jack
sons Fourth Auditor Kendall discovered
that his predecessor, poor DR.. Watkins,
was Efficient in his accounts in the sum of
$4,000; and all who remember the history
that period will remember how severely
that unfortunate man was punished. But
we have got along to other times and other
rules of action. Honesty was the rule in
those days-now it seems to be the ex-
ception.

The congressional salary grab is catching
it on all hands. The New York Times,
which ia regarded as peculiarly Grants Or
gan, says in its issue of March II:
4" Mr.. Clarkson N. Potter, Of West Ches-
ter, publishes q letter written by him to
the Sergeant alarms of the House of Rep
resentatives, returning the warrant for his
back pay. He is not willing to accept it,
though he affirms both the constitutional
power Of Congress 10 fix its own pay, and
the fact that Shen that pay has hitherto
been advanced it has BEEN voted to the
members of the Congress making the ad-
vance. OF course 40 number of prece-
dents, and no amount of constitutional
sanction, would justify the act on which
Mr.. Potter fixes the strongest possible
condemnation by refusing to accept the
money"

JUDGE BRADY touched popular chord
and made wise decision in single breath
in New York on the 18Th inst. He de-
clined TO send a boy convicted of man
slaughter in the fourth degree to the State
prison, but sent him to the House of Ref
uge, adding that bis chief regret was that
he could not sentence the man who had
sold the child the pistol. His subsequent
suggestion of law making it criminal
offense to sell firearms to children should
meet with hearty approval everywhere, and
should be acted upon not only in New
York, but in every other State.

THE recent elections have caused some
aialm among Republicans. The Syracuse
On. " Standard says:
CAL through the past winter the Repub-
lcan party has been carrying load which
has heavily weighed it down, How heavy
the weight it carries is seen in the uniform
testimony against it which The elections fur
nish. The party can yet be saved; but it
can only be saved by maintaining the high
est standard ofpurity, by repudiating in The
most emphatic manner its coTrup. leaders,
The lesson Of the elections must be taken
to heart by The party. No maudlin senii-
mentality must be wasted upon the fsllen
chiefs. Henceforth there must be no white
washing and 10 temporizieg wi b grave is
sues"

THE Cincinnati Enquirer makes this
point on the man who has had $4,000 a
year added to his salary: "Grant is liberal
man. He spends several thousand dollars
year on horses, and gave 500 toward the
Greeley monument. There vas a time
about ten months ago when Grant might
have been willing 10 contribute more to-
ward Greeley's monument. Not that he
wished harm to come to Greeley, but tie
German poet, Heine, after going through
Westminster Abbey, when paying the keep
er his fee, said that he would willingly have
paid more had the collection been com.
plete."

RADICAL rule in Alabama is being prsc-
dcally illustrated. The Montgomery Id
uertiser says very nearly sixteen thousand
acres of Land are advertised for sale for tax
es In Perry county alone. A similar aver
age throughout the State would give total
of one million of acres. This land will av-
erage in value five dollars per acre-whencc
we infer that not less than five millions of
real property is subject to pass under the
tax gatherer's hammer. This is robbery of
the most atrocious character, because done
under the form of law.

IT appears that Governor Straw, of New
Hampshire, has been doing a little sharp
practice. The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette says:
Representative Hubbard, of New Hamp.
shire, the Democratic member of the last
Congress from that State. who was defeated
in the recent election by only seventeen
votes, has been appointed one OF the Su-
prenle Judges of the State by Governor
Straw. The gossip among New Hamp.
shire parties re is that this appointment
was made in order 10 prevent a contest.n

The Republican Legislatures appear to
counteract the influence which the salary
grab is exerting against their party. Both
houses Of the Michigan Legislature have
adopted resolutions condemning the action
of the majority Of the late Congress in vot-
ing to increase their pay during the expiring
hours of the session, and applauding those
who opposed the measure.

WHEN Jefferson was invited to share in a

sentatives-do not believe in that old fogy

THE RECIPIENT OF GRANTS GLEN
ENJOY

The citizens Of Washington geDearlly are
justly indignant at Gen. Grant for commut-
ing the sentence of Policeman O'Brien, con-
victed Of the most atrocious murder that
has been committed in that city for years.
The circumstances of the murder, as sum
married by the Washington Star, are briefly
as follows:
"The evidence shows that Policeman
O'Brien set out to seduce the wife of Samuel
II. Cunningham at q picnic near George
town, in the summer Of 1871, under the
preteAt of obtaining for the latter a position
under the Commissioner Of Public Buildings;
that being rebuffed in this attempt By Mrs.
Cunningham, be insulted her with the most
opprobrious epithet. The insulted wife
sought the protection Of her husband, who
in turn made complaint to Lieut.. Essex,
O'Brien's superior officer on the police
force. The Lieutenant called O'Brien to
account iOr his insulting conduct toward
MS. Cunningham. Thereupon O'Brien
fell upon Cunningham, knocking him down
with his baton. Some 20 minutes after,
Cunningham, having recovered somewhat
from the blow, was leaving Green Spring
with bis wife for home, when O'Brien again
rushed upon Cunningham, revolver in hand,
and shot him through the head, killing him
on the spot, and then fred another shot at
him after he had fallen to the ground. Gun
ningham, it should be added, was slender,
feeble man, while O'Brisu is Of large, pow
erful build"
Here was man murdered in the most
deliberate, cold blooded manner for endeav-
oring to protect the honor of his wife. 1t
was one Of the most atrocious murders that
ever appeared in the annals of crime, and if
any man ever deserved hanging this man
O'Brien surely did. And yet the President
steps forward, at the solicit alton of Ben. But
Ter, the paid attorney Of the convicted Grim
inal, and-shall we write it?-Mrs. Gen.
Sherman, and a.few others, and commutes
his sentence 10 Imprisonment for life. No
wonder the citizens Of Washington are
sanslis11ast that this wretch should be the
asuch marked Rlemency from
mo wonder they regard
ference as an encourage
