THE IGNORANCE LEGIsLAToRs.

Every year our National Legislature
and some forty State and Territorial
Legislatures, and n vast number of
county and town boards, are brought
face to face with the most vital social
problems. They are called upon to
make great expenditures for the pre-
ventiOn and cure Of pauperism, for the
repression and punishment of crime,
for the treatment Of lunatics of various
sorts, for the care of idiots Of various
grades, for the special treatment Of in
ebriates, for the cure Of the sick hos
pJtals, for general measures Of preven-
ton as regards epidemics, and yet no
one will gainsay my assertion that, on
no subject, are our Legislature, and all
our various public bodies. 50 utterly
blind as On this. Ii we look at the re-
suit Of this as regards expenditure, the
case is bad enough.
The amount annually expended in all
our States for this purpose is enormous.
The only approach which we have to
the palaces of the Old World are in the
various hospitals, and prisons, aud
asylums Of the New | pan speak of
this want OF knowledge from personal
experience. l can stand in the eonfes-
sional on tins subject. 1t has been nay
lot more than once TO vote ON such APP
preparations il a legislative body. ]
Ismember especially one caseiwhere the
Legislature Of this State was called |
upon to establish Il great asylum, at
vast expense, for a certain class of lu- !
natics. The case was Y6Iy pressing.
A careful report from commission
showed that some provision of this sort |
must be made.
4 bill was passed. the buildings were
erected, and vet, when all was done. |
we were assured by an expert, who bad |
no interest one way or the other IN the /
matter, that all our weli-meant benevO- /
lence had, perhaps, resulted in almost |
as much evil as good, and that the
whole institution was a failure as re-
CARDS the immediate purposes forwhica
it was erected.
The niulple cause for this was that
in that whole legislature, IL the Lower
House, in the Upper House, IN the FX-
ecutive Department, there was not one
person who he'd ever given any close at
tention 10 subjects Of this kind, and
we had been obliged % trust Gatirely

fcInlatiop, no matter how crude. But

Important Developments - Another
Little Job Of Ben BuiIer's.
From the CINCINNATI COmmerciaI.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The inves-
LEGATIONS Of Messrs. Foster, of Ohio,
and Beck, Of Kentucky, the sub-Com-
mittee Of Ways and Means Committee,
into Internal Revenue Affairs, is bring
ing to light some singular facts. Among
other things recently developed is a
little Job wherein Benjamin Butler has
provided well for personal friend or
two. without detriment to his own
pocket. While the Legislative, Judi
clad and Executive Appropriation bill
was pending in 1872, Benjamin Butler
and an eX-member Of Congress from
New York, by the name of Kelsey. en-
deayOred to secure the adoption Of an
amendment in the committee to author
ize and direct the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to employ three persons to hunt
up and collect unpaid and unrepoyted
internal revenue taxes, allowing them,
Il. IN case Of informers, a moIety of
One-haIf. Prior to the adoption Of this
amendment this class of business
could be done by anybody. The re-
cords of a Probate Judges office afford
ed good field for these people to work
In. as there could be found, officially
set forth. the facts with regard to lega-
cies and requests upon which TIE taxes
had not been paid. This was the source
of the principal part OF the revenue de-
rived by professional Informers, This
amendment was defeated through Gen.
Garfeld's opposition IN the House Com
mittee. Butler and Kelsey secured its
abortion. however, in the Senate.
Bben 1t came to the House the latter
s,ody refused to concur, and 1t was not
until the bill had been in the hands of
three successive conference committees
that the House finally agreed TO it.
Under the law Ties amended Butler
secured the appointment &s official IN
former O. his friend SanbOrh, 81 New
York. Kelsey secured the appointment
of his particular friend, and the third
person is named Green, and lives in
this city. Sanborn has been particu-
larly active and has secured the pay
lnent of such taxes to the. amount OF
three hundred and seventy-f0us thou
sand dollars, one half Of which,
of course, he pockcted. The 9TH
er two have not been SO active, but
they have done passably well. Sanborn
was recently arrested for colIudmg
with a Collector in New York. the ar
arrangement being that the Collector
would make II point To fan occasion
aliy 10 make collections. and Sanborn
worid make the collection and take his
moiety, dividing with the Collector:
His arrest was made at the instance OF
a District Attorney. Butler, however.
imagined that Commissioner Douglass

bos threatened him with dismissal IT he
don'f u,end his ways. There is a pros
