WAsHISGToN.Oct- 24.--One OF the most .
exaggerated and eccentric cases OF back
nav grabbing has recently come 10 light III
the post-ofhce department. The case Is
also noticeable as one Of the most singular,
viewed from the civil-service point OF view,
that has occurred under the present adj
ministration. 1t is reported, and there
seems 10 be no reason tO doubt the accur-
racy of the report, since it comes from
Trustworthy source, that Mr.. McGrew, the
chief clerk of the Sixth auditor ONCE,
nromoted his son who is a clerk in the
same Office. % a position in the Foreign
mails division. which had been vacant for
about TEN months. The son had been oc-
cupvinp a subordinate place and receiving
the regular salary of it while the vacancy
existed, but recently under the civil serv-
ice reform era. the father, it Is reported, not
only promoted his son 10 the vacancy,
lint manipulated the rolls in such man
net as to nav the sou the entire ten month !
salary of the vacant office, Notwithstanding
voung McCirew had not performed Its du
lies. and had been paid for other dutie,
which he did not perform in the same OF
fee. Another case, OF almost the saln'
character. but not quite as expensive q
the government, is said ~ have occurre'
in the pay division Of the same office. MI
Uazlett. who was chief Of the division, died
and before the vacancy was hiled a iaps
of four or FIVE months occurred. N MI
Boone was promoted at last To the vacancy
and, it is supposed, became aware OF tn
urecedent in young McGrew's case, an'
while his manner ofproceediog Is som,

Now, what was the increase Of wealth
idnrinp these eight years? Statistics prove
Ithat the increase of wealth during the de;
ycade ls6O-70 was at the average rate OF
$l 400, OOO, 600 per annum. That's to say,
\ m 1860 the total true valuation was $l6,-
Os6, 900, 900 and in 1870 it was nearly $780,

\ mind that the Director of the Census said
that from 30 to 40 per cent, OF this sup
posed increase was due to initiation and ex-
\ arperated valuations. Even if we take

Thus, then, it proves that otter deduct

pensions, the Federal Government squeeZ
es nearly three times as much taxes out Of
ment as the Federal Government did in
$4,000.
To recapitulate, it will be seen during
