Judge Carpenters Opinion md Order.
The serious consequences to the gen.
tlemen concerned, the extraordinary
und impossible conditions upon which
their restoration to their usual dignity
and status in the court is made to de-
pend, the Inconvenience to the commu-
nifty, and the strong feeling which has
been aroused against so unprecedented
q proceeding, all induce lis On the one
hand to be careful in what wo soy. and
on the other to question the real mean
ing md purpose OF al order 30 extra
ordinary and so injurious as the one
just decreed by Judge Carpenter against
the attorneys of tho Citizens Savings
Bank. 1t is contrary to all precedent
and all expectation. 1t cannot have the
purpose of recovering control of the
assets OF the bank. and yet the attorneys
are required to restore them to Judge
Carpenters Colrt, or, falling to do it. to
be themselves forever exiled from its
precincts. Is it Judge Carpenters de-
sire to bring his court into line with the

seemly. in things which mako tho Judi

OFFICIAL SINEcUREs..- In q recent de-
bate in Congress on the Deficiency bills,
Mr.. DAVIS read the following letter from
an ex-oficial at Milwaukee, Wisconsin
In 1870 Congress passed o law MAX

the West ports of entry. They had
been ports of delivery for years. A
previous act had made other places ports

This was new Office, at So, 900 a year.
When I received that appointment

was sinecure.7fI afterwards told the
Secretary of the Treasury to the same
effect; and year ago the present month
Informed my other Senator that the
law should be repsaled and the office
abolished. Well, an Office holder who
expresses such sentiments about his
position is decidedly unpopular in the
Republican party, and in March lastl

the charge was insanity. There could
be no charges of fneglect-or incompeten.

and diligent in drawing his salary than
was during those two years. and abso-

There are undoubtedly hundreds. L

of Congress for no other apparent pur-
pose than to enable Congressman to

attention of those charged with seeing
that the interests of the Government
were protected, to the fact of this frand
upon the public treasury; but what Was
the result? He stated the case to Sena-
tor Carpenter; then to Senator Howe,
then to the head of the Treasury De-
partment; and the only response was.
ne vas quietly strickep from the pay
oil of the sinecnre offices, and more
practical man. awarded his billet, to
draw three thousand dollars annually
from the peoples treasury without rem
dering any public services. or other
equivalent therefor. Thus it is that the,
revenues of the Government have fallen
short of meeting its current, expenses
for the past year; that the public debt
is increasing; that the country is suffer-
ing under general financial embarrass'
ment, and that additional taxation is the
only alternative to national bankruptcy.
These facts demonstrate the necessity
of reform in every department of the
Government. It is admitted that the
purest statesmen and the ablest jour
nalists of the country are earnestly la
boring to that end. No man has done
moro to expose and denounce the cor
ruptions of the dominant party than
Mr.. Dawes; and yet he adheres to the
primary party systems of which all these
corruptions are the legitimate fruits.
Both parties regard party fidelity as the
chief claim to political trusts; both hold
that I" to the victors belong the spoils"
of office, and both adhere to the caucus
system, withits log-rolling management.
as the only means of determining the
support of candidates. So long as these
practices are common to both political
pa,ties, no hope of relief can be enters
tanned by change from one party to
the other. The only remedy for mani
fest abuses is in popular enfranchise
ment from party dictation.
