Mr. RICHARDSON AGAIN.

II there was anything left Of Secretary
Richardson's character yesterday, 1t Is not WIS.,
ible to the naked eye this morning. Mr..
Odell the Treasurer of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Company, gave
the Ways and Means Committee yesterday q
history of the payment of back taxes to the
amount of nearly 100000, on which Sanborn
claimed and received commission. The
debt to the Government had never been con-
cealed, but the amount had long been in dis
mite, and successive Commissioners of Inter-
nal Revenue had given contradictory decisions
respecting it. The Company finally came
to an agreement with Supervisor Lu-
Glen Hawley. and consented TO pay $780,
6S5 "a, after an examination OF their
books by the regular assessor. Mr.
Sanborn meanwhile gave notice to Mr.. Haw-
lev that the road was embraced in his con-
tract, and that he was consequently entitled
to his moiety. AS he had copied into his con-
tract the name of every railroad given in APP
pletons' Guide, he was entitled of course upon
equally good grounds to the half of all the
Government collected from each and every
railroad in the United States. Mr.. Hawley
thereupon wrote to Mr.. Richardson for in.
structions, and received telegram in reply
(not given in the published correspondence
directing him to recognize Sanborn's claim.
Mr.. Odell, however, who had never heard
of Sanborn, and had transacted all his bust
ness with the proper officers Of the Govern
ment, sens his check for the amount of the tax
to tho Secretary of the Treasury. This was on
the 9th of January, 1874. On the 9Th Mr.. San
born wrote formal notification to the Secre-

gravely affect tho good repute OF the line. III,
on the other hand, the injury was received
after the vessel sailed, and the mismanage
ment of the pumps and the engines prevented
any effectual resistance to the progress of the
leak, the officers of the ship would be justly
held to account for the subsequent loss. A
very serious question may also arise in regard
to the seamanship displayed by the French
officers and sailors in abandoning their vessel
at time when the English officers thought it
might still be saved. 1t is true that this was
an error of judgment on the part of the En-
glishmen, and that the proceeding of First Off
Ger Buck and his associates showed more pluck
than sagacty. But a superabundance OF the
former quality, in cases where other peoples
lives are not placed in peril by it, is never very
severely criticised
In reference to the main matter OF fact'
whether Capt. Lemari6 was justified IN
transferring his passengers to the Greece
at the time he did, we think there ought
to be no question. Even if the Europe
had been safely taken into some European
port, we should certainly say that her captain
had done his duty in placing the lives OF those
committed to his charge out OF the reach OF
danger. The danger was grave and immedl-
ate II he had allowed the Greece to go out
of sight and had made known to his passen-
gers the next day the condition OF the vessel
it is easy to imagine the bitterness aud justice
of the reproaches with which he would nave
been assaied. He had no right to do any
thing but what he did. so far as his pasSen-
gers were concerned. Az to his own share In
the matter there will probably be two opinions.
Some will hold that he should have placed his
passengers in safety, and then, with such Of
bis crew as chose to remain, should have
stayed by his vessel and saved her. if posi-
BILE, for her owners and not left her to the
charge of strangers in her disabled and
weather-beaten condition. But he doubtless
thought that he had no more right to trifie
with the lives of his crew than with those of
his passengers, and that going to sea in a
vessel which he was convinced was sinking
was q form of suicide. This is question, 1t
seems to us, more particularly affecting the
captain and his owners. We are more inter
ested in the safety of the passengers, and we
think that he acted wisely and properly in
providing for that, first of all.

THE TAP-ROOT OF MISCHIEF.

The discussion growing out OF the attempts
of the inflationists to increase the volume of
irredeemable currency, in order to "make
money cheap" will not be entirely unproft-
able or unproductive of good results. The
speeches of Messrs Phelps, Hawley, Cox, and
others in the House, and of Messrs. Schurz, Fem
ton and others in the Senate, have added greatly
to the enlightenment of the people upon
subject of the utmost importance, but which,
beyond the limited circle of students of pOit-
ical economy, ia little understood. In the
light which has been thrown upon it during
the debates in Congress and the discussion of
the general question by the press, it
has begun to dawn upon the public
mind that the kernel of tho matter
is. after all, more moral than poltical-that it
is as question of political morals, more than
of political economy. that gives the financial
issue its most important aspect The iniquitous
attempt-for it is nothing else--to dilute the
unpaid promises of the Government by the
further issue of notes unsecured by anything
having the remotest relations with value, has
called public attention to the quality OF the
transaction which the Government note attests.
Here is promise-here, indeed, are four
hundred millions of them passing from hand
TO hand. The promise was made in the stress
of great trial, III the face Of appalling national
peril and under the pressure of war; The
stipulation, express and implied. in the act
providing for their issue and in all the cate
cedent conditions of the transaction. was

Commissioner Van Mort has reconsidered
his intention to submit his resignation TO
Mayor Hayemeyer. AS political coup the
stratagem has not met with success. The
resignation could not be rendered without
imminent risk of its being accepted, and the
ostentatious announcement of contemplated
withdrawal from the most powerful position
in the City Government was something too
shadowy to thave any effect on public opinion.
We are at least spared any fresh pretext for
more confusion and wire-pulling at Albany.

The dedication Of the audience room Of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church of Evanston,
which is announced to take place one week from
to-day, is an event which has been looked for
with longing bg large number Of persons, and
Tor no lnconsiderable length Of time. The base
meDt Of this elegant church edidoe WAS dedicat-
ed as far back in the past as 1871, since which
time it has been in constant use, but has
proved sadly inadequate to the wants
OF the society and the village. Although
the basement will seat more persons
than any other similar edifce in Evanston. it
Was not sutfcie ntY spacious to accommodate
those who wors gathered together for serv1cos
of special interest.
But, though badly needed, the officers of the
church have proceeded with great dellberation,
and we're determined to see their way clear be-
fore completing the upper portion OF the build
ing. Finally the wo4k could he delayed no
longer, and the result is an audience
room which, it is c-aimed. Will coua1orta-
bly, seat larger Timber OF per1ons than
will any church in Chc5so. In appearance the
building, which is bull: Of the best white BRICK,
will when the spire is completed, be exoeleu by
few, if any, church edldces in the West. The
entire cost OF the structure thus far has been
about $50, 200.

1,sy people, required ], ,5oo yards Of carpetlnG

the entire length OF tho room, sloping
down at the western end to the niche in which

the speaker can DO seen with facility from every
part Ut the house aud gallery. Taken all in all
the edlice is an ornament to Evanston. and re-

belongs.
As stated, the church will be dedicated q
weak from to-day, and the programme OF the
services on that OCCASION will be announced IN
due season.
