GOVERNOR DIX AND THE CREDIT MoErLER.--
The New York Journal Of Commerce eX-
presses serious surprise that Governor Dix,
of New York, did notappear before the Con-
greSSional investigating committee inquiring
into the affairs Of the Credit-Mobilier corpo-
ration and the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, especially rs, according 10 the test-
mony of Mr.. Bushnell. "ttle only contract the
Union Pacific Railroad Company ever had
with the Credit-Mobllier Of America was
under the direction of an executed by Gene
raj Dix" The Journal Of Commerce takes
the HoXic contract as Nh example of the
benefit derived by the Credit-Mobilcr ring,
which cleared over S5,00o,000 by the job, or
about thirty-fivc per cctt., and uses the same
contract TO bring home to Governor Dix, AS
president OF the Union Pacific Railroad Com.
rany, the full knowledge of the fraud perpc-
tratcd. In view Of the additional fact this
testimony in full was given before the in
vcStisating committee, the Journal Of COM
nerce very justly concludes that Governor
Dix's personal reputation demanded his
presence before the committee, rather than
the "lame and impotent conclusion that
"Governor Dix could not he present on &C.
count of his executive duties Of the State
of New York."

The most ingenious. and we may add, the
most satisfactory, arguments that we have
ever read in favor of unity Of the human
race, are contained i'm a series Of lectures de-
livered (of all places in Paris, France, by
Professor \. ID. QuATREFAGES, and translated
by ELIZA A. YouMANs and repubIishcd by
ID. APPLETON g. Co. in their Popular Science
Monthly. Even NJ. QuArREFAGES, however,
trips sometimes. In combating the argu-
ment drawn from the comparative heights OF
different races of men, lie says that if in
thought we place all men in one line accord
ing to their height, all the Caucassians would
not come first, nor all the Bushmen Of Aus
train last but we should obtain Il series in
Which the difference from one to the next
would be perhaps the 10000 Of an inch.
$50 that, by themselves, these considera-
"tions drawn from the height furnish exec
client proof of tue unity of the human race"
Now, no fact is better established than that
men arc taller than wolncn-that is, the ave
rage height of men exceeds that of women
Yet if NJ. QuATREFAGES' s argument is Il sound
one, it would be easy to prove that women
,ue rs tall as men; for if we form line such
as he speaks of, composed of all the men and
women in the world. ii is certain that all the
men would not come together, there being
some women who are taller than some men.
$50 that, by themselves, these considerations
"driwn from the height furnish excellent
"proof" that women are as tall as men, or,
IL you please, that women are men.

HOW SMUGGLING IS ENCOURAGED.

NEARLY MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS REcov-
Erred PROM MERCHANTS IN -FOUR YEARS AND
DIVIDED BETWEEN THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND
THE UNITED STATES TREAsURY-OFFICIAL RECORD
OF THE SUITS DISCONTINUED AND HERETOFORE
CONCEALED.
The interest manifested in the investigation of the
affairs of Woodruff & Robinson by the special agents
and Custom house officials and rumors that the
alleged against them is to be compromised, attract
attention once more to the system of compromising
suits for fraud and smuggling which isin vogue here
and which has frequently subjected Custom-house
officers to the general charge Of encouraging Snug
Cling by concealing the names of the smuggers,
and which has brought deserved odium on
the whole system of rewards to informers
and agents. The extent to which compromises have
been conducted in this port has hardly been sus-
pected for the reason that the court officials and
United States District Attorneys have carefully con-
cealed the facts in each compromised case. The
settlements are always made privately, and the
suits are discontinued in court by formal process
which attracts attention, and does not Drine out
the facts. Often firm is detected, lts DOCKS
seized and examined, the amount OF 1raud
determined. the suit begun, compromised, the
money paid into the Treasury, then d.
vided among the officials interested, and
the suit discontinued without the slightest Interrupt
ton to the business of the accused and without the
knowledge Of the public that there has been any
such process. In the books of the United States
Courts the suits are entered in such manner that
only certain officials know their character ana ths
the firms charged with fraud are protected from
publicity 1t is only where firms like W. T.. Dodge
& Co oppose the suit that there Is any disposition
TO make public exposure displayed by the officials.
A TRIBUNE reporter has obtained the key to this
method of entry in such cases, and thus secured a
list from the official records OF all compromised cases
since 1869.
The mode of disposition of the sum paid by the
COMPROMISING firm in customs cases was settled by
the act of Congress of March g 1867 UNITED States
Statutes at Large. vol xiv, p 546 The taxed costs
of the court in such cases were fixed by the act OF
