ness about Mr.. Richardson that more thdn
eny other one thing qualities him for place
oD-say a new twenty-five cent token. Ana
il ought TO be done. Just as Louis Alll gave
his name to the Louis dor, and the late
French Emperor coined the Napoleon, so our
twenty-five cent piece should bear the haine
of our Great Minister of Finance. After this'
the most natural thing in tho world would
be TO put Sawyer on the ten-cent piece. May
we 90 farther, and suggest that handsome
fve-cent bill should be printed with the IKE
ness of Mr.. John ID. Sanborn on the SOUTH
west corner.
These improvements we suggest to the De-
partmcnt. No false modesty should deter the
Secretary from making the change. linen

templating the unfinished Courthouse, com
mittee of the Board of Aldermen appointed
for the purpose shall exhibit these three rep

Richardson was the statesman who invented
the plan of specie resumption in sums OF hye
dollars and less; that Sawyer discovered the
plan of collecting the revenue on shares and
that Sonborn took the contract to collect the

gestion to the Department in the full convlc-
ton that the law requiring none but dead men

MR.. gOUTgELES SETTLEMENT.

Tho tardy statement of Mr.. Boutwell, before
tbe Committee of Ways and Means adds noun
ING TO our knowledge of the manner OF san
horns appointmcnt. But for the scandal Oh
tIe ex. .Secrctary's silence in the face ot so
mucb suspicion and such perpetual tossing
about of responsibility, the testimony wincn
we reported Oh Saturday might as "oii
not have been given. MIR. Boutwell, does not
n,etend to have signed contracts without look
ing at them, as Mr.. Richardson did, nor 10
have unset the whole machinery OF revenue
collection without knowing what he was ABOUT
He admits that he did consider the general
principle of these contracts at the outset, anu
if we understand him--tbat he did authorize
Mr. Banlield to d,aw up the necessary papers
He gave enough attention to the law
to know that great abuses might be com
mtted under it, and he considered
the question of compensation so far as to reel
satisfied that fifty per cent was too much.
Thus far Mr.. Boutwell, seems to have eXer-
cised the ordinary perceptive and IntelicctuaI
focultjes of a reasonable being. 1t Is great
pitv that he should not have gone little
farther. He allowed the contractors commits
sion TO be fixed at the high figure when no
knew to be unreasonable; and with regard to
tbe aDticipated abuses he adopted course
which seems to us altogether unaccOuntable.
fIe brides himself upon having introduced
into the contracts two safeguards against
wrong, namely, provision that the Secretary
sbould have power to annul the bargain at
any time, and Il condition that the money
should be paid into the Treasury through the
proper officers. Having thus equipped HIM
self with full authority to put stop
to the SanbOrn operations whenever the
slightest abuse appeared in them, he did
what9 Why, shut his eyes as tight as possible,
and never took the slightest pains TO inquire
whether abuses were committed or not. The
supcryision of these contracts was certainly
somebody's duty, and if Mr.. Boutwell, could
not attend to it himself he ought to have
intrnsted it to a subordinate. 1t almost seems
however, as if extraordinary pains must have
been taken to let SanbOrn entirely alone.
With regard to the interesting question how
il happened that Gen. Buffers man was al
lowed to make 50 much money while other
persons were obstructcd by the Treasury at
every step, Mr. Boutwell, has nothing TO say.
He does not know how Slnborn came to be
appointcd He cannot tell who his hackers
were. 1t is evident that the ex-Secretary
throws the responsibility upon the Solicitor,
and the Solicitor, as our readers remember,
emphatically refuses to shoulder il. Boutwell,,
BanGeld, Richardson, and Sawyer all accuse
one another, and the natural inference of the
public is that not one of them attended to bis
business, or else that somebody is concealng
the truth.

But one day, without netice TO counsel, tho
Pulaski Circuit Court suddenly took up tie
old deferred suit, 0verruled the demurrer. de-
clared Brooks Governor. and gave him judg-
ment for the back salary, touching which there
had never been any judicial investigation. Is
is upon the strength Of this snap judgment
that Mr.. Brooks wants President Grant 70
recognize him AZ Governor.
We do not think the Presidents conrsa
should be for moment doubtful. The orders
of a court which has no jurisdiction are abso-
lutely void The only court in Arkansas
which can pass upon Brooks's title to tha
Governorship is authOritatively and finally
declared to be the General Assembly. and
that tribunal has already decided against him.
To accept the decision of the Circuit Court it
is necessary to reverse the judgment OF
the Supreme Court, which is higher
tribunal, and of the Legislature. which is de-
clared by the Constitution to be the tribunal
having exclusive jurisdiction of all cases OF
this nature If it is possible for the peace to
be preserved until the Legislature can como
together and make proper provision for tia
enforcement of its authority, it may not ba
necessary for the President to Interfere at All
but if he does interfere, we do not see no"
he can help recognizing Baxter.

combine to cause this reduction, the panic
and the absence of any great attraction like
the Vienna Exhibition being the principal
ones. We attach less Importance to the alarm

took the French and White Star lines. An
article elsewhere sets forth in an interesting
manner what the steamship companies anticl-

A petition to the Governor, begging nm

owners and occupants of premises on the two
streets where the Legislature has proposed to

concurred in. The action OF Gen. DIX IN

The summary of the forthcoming report on
the Sanborn investigation, which we print
to-day, shows that that document will not
throw any light on the mystery of the Treas
ury Department. Mr.. Boutwell, and Mr.. Rich
ardsOn are to be acquitted of all criminal
intent; and this verdict is to be elastic enough to
cover those subordinates whose names have been
conspicuous in the investigation. The prac-
tiCal results, therefore, of this long and patient
inquiry will be the repeal of the law under
which the Sanborn contracts were concluded,
and the suspension of all existing contracts.
For we take it for granted that Congress will
not delay action on the report of the Com
mttee, which it is understood will be unani-
nous in recommending repeal and abrogation
of the law and the contracts. Nevertheless 1t
is something of a disappointment that the in
quiry has come to an end without answering
the question. Who is responsible!
New-York tribune., 1874-05-04

1t is undeniable that in Germany there Is,
and for some years will continue to be, fear OF
France which will exercise very important In
fluence upon the foreign policy of Germany
The letter from Berlin, which we publish to-
day, shows how it was the evident purpose of
the Liberals, in voting to fix the military strength
for seven years, to enable the Emperor to prepare
for any hostile demonstrations during the
seven years that President MacMahon IS to
exercise his powers. The German military
establishment will now probably be sufficient
to keep the peace, unless France should be
materially strengthened by alliances; but it
is q sad necessity that compels country to
maintain standing army of 4Ol,OOO men
without any important productive capacity.

In another of Mr.. Bayard Taylor's letters,
printed on our second page, the famous trav-
eler gives graphic description of visit to
the Khedlve. But, although the present ruler
of Egypt is a man worth reading about, Mr..
Taylor's account of the recent discovery of a
yace of pigmics, in the heart of Central
Africa, will excite much more curiosity. These
little men are not creatures of arrested devel-
opment but of an chronological variety which
is now first brought to the light Of the civil
lied world.

Details of the abandonment of the steam
ship L'Am6rique received by late European
mails do not improve the aspect of the case.
From the reports of the salvage crews it
appears that the ship was abandoned in a
panic, and that very little systematic effort could
lave been made to save her by the crew. The
pumping apparatus was in bad condition,
though not 80 badly damaged, one would sup

YOUNG MAN KILLED ON THE DELAWARE
RAILROAD, NEAR THE CANAL.
Saturday night about $50 o'clock,
an accident occurred on the Delaware
Railroad, near the canal bridge, by
which young man named John Kus
sell, came to his death
Russell, who has been on the road
but u short time, was freight brake
man, and on Saturday evening was
coming up on the freight train with
passenger car attached, which arrives
in this city about 10 o'clock, p: M.
When the train arrived at the canal
bridge, the engineer slowed up, and
soon II laundering bump announced
to him that portion of the train had
become detached and had just caug ht
up again AT this time Russell, who
was in charge of the forward part OF
the train, was missed, and fears were
entertained of his safety. Accordingly
the train was backed. and about haffs
mile below his lifeless body was found
lying to the right of the track. Hi,
head was split clear across the top
his nose and right arm were broken
and he was otherwise bruiscd.s
1t is supposed that Russell was in tll'
| act of stepping from one car to thu
other just when thc train separated
| which caused him to fall, and in tn,
fall his head struck violently agains
the car platform, splitting it open ant
breaking his nose In hls descent h'
was caught in the break gearing an'
dragged about thirty yards, when h'
was thrown out to the right of th'
track.
The body of the unfortunate youn!
man was brought to this city, where
the next morning, Coroner Wmsloy
held an inquest, the jury rendering

facts. The remains We're then fol
warded to the friends of the deceased
