The Christian statesman who runs the

Mr. DLLANO has been Secretary of the ln-

one half of his time to the post of duty as
he calls it, lie has been absent at least
three days in every week on an average.
All confidence in that department and
its branches, the Land ONCE and Indian
Bureau, is destroyed. A vcual Ring,

rule and the guiding motive of official

The Senate sham.

And there was no honest intention to

cl,e something substantial would have

wa, brought in after the most oxtrayagant
promises.
The House bill fixes the compensation nj

bill restores the old pay Of members ami
employees Of Congress AMI the Cabinet.
This Is about the practical difference be-

Babcock,s Measurements.

Gen. o. f. BABcocK is employed con-
trary TO law as n secretary OF President
GRANT. Tie is also Commissioner Of Public
Works in Washington, and Ivy an act of
Congress approved March 2, 1873, he was
charged with the duty OF making "a full
examination and measurement OF Ger
tain improvements made by the Boaid Of
Public Works opposite and around Gov
eminent property in Washington. In ac-
cordance with this provision he certified
to various measurements OF the improve
mcnts i'm question. and upon those ccrtif-
Gates money was obtained from the Trca
sury.
Two experienced engineers and sur
vcyors, Mr.. W. III. De MAIN Of Washington
and Col. II. LEIPER PATTERSON, Chief En-
gincCr of the Baltimore aud Ohio Canal
Company, have since examined u portion
OF these measurements OF Gen. BABCoCK,
and declare that they were fraudulent and
false and that the Treasury has been nn9c
by this falsehood aud fraud to pay large
sums over and above what it wou1 have
had TO pay had his measurements bccn
made and stated truly according to the
facts.
These arc not the loose allegations of
Irresponsible persons; nor is IT dificult to
ascertain whether they are true or not. 1t
needs no committee Of investigation nor
any summoung OF witnesses. All that il
necessary is for either House of Congress
to direct Gen. A. 4. IIUMpHREYs, Chicf
Engineer of the army, TO 90 over tho
measurements thus certified to by Gen.
BAucoCK aud report upon them. II Gen.
IIUMruREYs should aver that lie has eN-
aniucd these measurements and found
that uon. BAnCOcK made them accurately
aud stated them truly, aud that no more
money lbs bctn paid upon thcm than WAS
right, the public wLl ncquit Gen. BABCoct
and will believe that Mr.. DE MAIN and Col.
/ PATTERSON were either honestly mistaken
or wcrc actuatcl by malice.
This is not q triGing matter. Tha truth
can easily be nscvrtuin,d, md IL IL IS not
done, thorc Will be reason 10 conclude that
Gen. BAncocK is G rtaiuly guilty, aud that
the majority in Congress will not allow
