THE TREASURY DEPARTMENTS MoIETY SYSTEM
from The syracuse Journal
The management of the Treasury Depart
ment is beng furiousy assaed by the opposition in
relation the existing system whereby moieies are
maid 10 inforrers through whom moneys arc collected
RON nersons withholding them for the purpose of de-
frauding the Government THE TRIBUNE, especially, ~
as spteful and rancorouS as man having an acute
attack of dyspepsia aud liver complaint combined
and IN the blindness Of its malice, II does not dis
crminate between the facts Us SHOWN by the records
and the hctons coujured mp the brain OF its Washing
spOndent We now have reference TO the San
born contracts that absorbing great deal OF aten-
Ion and likely 20 attract still more since the Ways
and Means Committee do not intend 20 drop the subject
before it has been investigated tO the very utterm0t
There IS not the shadow OF doubt that the
mOeties which have been paid 10 Sanb0rn
during the past thirteen or fourteen months
enormousamOunng in all TO S2l3202 for collecting
little than double that amount but there is very
great doubt that the Treasury Department has been for
lected was money which known 20 the regular
Internal Revenue Collectors being illegally withheld
the Government Hence the fault, II there Is any,
is 10 charged the moety system not to the SecrO-
Jary of the Treasury, as one of design and fraud.
