an exposure OF fraud in tho syatcm Of fu,
hlsh'hg county s'ipplics, which Inns been TO
long time promised by certain members O
tho County Board, was matlc yesterday. Th
opcoal Committee appointed ut tho frs
meeting Of tho new Bonrl to investigate til,
whole subject submitted its report. I'll.
substance Of tho report is tint tho county il
oo'hg defrauded annually Of largo sums O,
money that tho contractors nro in many III
stances dishonest; Tint tho agonts OF the
county nro careless mud corrupt; that tbore
arc no means of ascertaining wlnt quantity
Of tie supplies pnid for aro received nj
tho county institutions; that tho system OF
outdoor roliof lies been abused, both by tho
paapors anti tho contractors. Tho Commit.
too gl'o some specific cases OF fra,1d wlicl,
arc quite sufficient to establish tic general
allegations. They show by comparative ta-
oles TINT tho dry goods furnished to tho
County Poor-Houso by tic contractor
could hnye becn bought from, FIELD
d LETTER for $1,000 less than WIS
paid -. mud that tho discrepancy be-
tween the valno Of goods pnid for and
those actually received at tho poor-1Iouso is
s5,ooo more. There is at 1east prcsumptivo
eVlttcncc Of tho same kind aud degree Of rob-
ncry ut tho other county institutions wllero
no nccount ut MI was kept Of goods received,
Tho abuses in tho outdoor syste,n of rclicf
aro even mora 1nonstrous, Tho poor hovo
necn allowed to tal;o orders for pork or
homlny, md to receive from tho contractors
pretended equivalent i'll sugar OF ten.
Thus double swindlo is pcrpetratct1. first
by compelling tho county to furnish 1uxuries,
aud next by allowing tho substitution Of less
than their equivalents for tho articles order
ell The coal-contract seems to layo boon
mo0 hhcrally construed than tho others.
1t was obtained, in tho first instance, bv
means Of straw-bia, aud tho contrao-
tor has been placed on his honor
throughout, nobody attempting to check
tho weights Of tho half-tons furnished bv
him on tho order of tho County Agent,
we tIink the chargo Of fraud is pretty well
sustained The remedy suggested by tho
Committee is good, aud porllaps adequate.
1t is tho appointment of County Pur-
chasing Agent md Of purol,as;nr
Commltteo in tho County Board, who
shail together control all purchases made |
" tho county. Very wiso md necessary,
100, seems to us tho recommendation that n |
'lange should DO mado IN the Purchasing |
5ommlttce overy month, i'll order to prevent |
90 Intimate m acquaintance arising between
members Of tho Board md contractors,
A1r. HOLDEN, and tho other members of tho
'peeim Committee who have lnado this in.
cstigation, deserve the THINKS Of tho com.
annlty' Their work Inns been patient and
horough It has boon carried on foarlessly
MI honestly, though threats have not been
'anung to frighten, or money to bribe, tho

POSTAL ARIlANGEMEuTg

Postmaster-G General JEWELL is stopninr TT,
tho little leaks in his Department, aud saving
good deal Of money thoroby. Hitherto
Key "est Aas been supplied with postal mat-
ter by FOUR different routes, wliol, haye cost
$143,97s year. Hcreaftor it will cot two
mails per week, Which is as much os any reo-
sonablo native on tho sand-bank can wish,
and will cost the country only 95o, 600 year.
Ihls saving Of 100000 is pleasant New
1oars gift to tho taxpayers. They will
thank Mr.. JEWELL for it. Now lot tho good
work go on. The mail facilities of sono RI.
moto portions Of tho country aro altoeother
too great for tile worry t,iling business to bo
performed. They should bo cut down to
aomo reasonable dimensiona People who
bury themselves in tho wilderness can
better afford to got their infroouont
letters only onco week. than tho
country can afford to subsidizo lalf-n-
dozen stage lines i'll order to send m cmntv
mailing to them every dry. If A1r. JEWELL
is let alono, VIC lleye hopes TINT lo will mako
his Department pay its own expenses before his
term of oitlco expires, whoroas ho finds now n
tleficionoy Of cight millions. Ho is managing
lis public as he would his private aiYairs, It
is inevitable that his honesty aud economy
Should excite the jobbors, straw-bidlors, aud
fraudulent contractors, who have hitlorto
lived by plundoring tho people through, the
medium Of tho postal-soryico, to a fronzy Of
rngo, but We doubt not tlpt tho President
will stand by this faithful servant Of tho !
public.
Another important reform introduced
by Mr. JEWELL concerns Our postol |
relations with Canada. As soon az tin
necessary arrangements Gun bo ,nalo, tie
t"o countries, 80 far as tho mails
aro concerned, will bo practically united,
aftor Feb. l, letters mailed in eitlor for tho
othor will DO charged only domestic rates. A

francisco to Quebec, Or from ohioaeo to Hail.
