PAYING ILLEGAL OFFICERS.
How EleemOsynary Politicians
are Provided For.

Nearly Five Thousand ON the Pay
Rolls OF the Treasury and Interior
Departments.
From the New York Sun, March 20.
1t would seem almost incredible,
without careful examination of the
whole subject, that the departments at
Washington have been permitted
through series of years to carry thou
sands of employeesO the pay rolls with
out any other authority of law than an
appropriation for their pay, made ses-
sion after session, and apparently to
meet some temporary necessity.
This system was devised to increase
the patronage of members of Congress
and others, and at the same time to
conceal the expenditure under decep-
tive disguise. That Is to say, several
thousand clerks have been drawing
large salaries, not one of whose names
appear in the Blue Book, which is sup
posed to give the name of every official
in the service of the United States.
Various articles have been employed
to continue device by which millions
have been drawn from the Treasury for
the support of partisan machinery, and
which can only be traced through the
devious ways of appropriations, artful-
ly contriyed to mislead the unwary and
tocover up wilful extravaganza.
First, there Is what is called a per-
manent appropriation for the alleged
expense of printing bonds, currency,
and other forms of debt uttered by the
Treasury. That dates back to the be-
ginning of the vast paper issues, and
has been maintained without reference
to the changes that have taken place
since then. From three to five millions
a year have been derived from this
source, when one million properly ad-
ministered would have been more than
sufficient for every practical purpose.
Nearly nineteen hundred clerks have
been employed out of this fund, and
the Secretary of the Treasury has ex-
ercised his wits how to get rid OF the
excess, after paying then. and the
printing bills.
Next there is apermanent appropria-
ton of 100000 year for the Bureau
of Engraving, which is applied to the
support OF Inat C-ilce ana It's 1,OOO ell
ployes. And finally there are miscel-
laneous appropriations, which having
once established a footing, are con-
stantly increased.
1t would be wholly impracticable to
perpetuate this system as has been
done, and to obtain these large grants,
without the cooperation and conni-
vance Of the Committee on Appropria-
lions. Mr.. Garfield and his predeces-
sors have sanctioned these barefaced
spoliations, and have pensioned their
political friends on the Treasury by the
abuse of their trusts. In order to ex-
pose the extent to which these practices
have been carried, let us cite few con-
spicuous examples from two of the de-
partments with the largest patronage:

ployees authorized by law, and the num-

DIRECT TRADE.
The Charleston Chamber Of Commerce
Moving I'm the Matter.
Prom the Atlanta CONSTITUTION

llc AlldulA
AUGUSTA, March %, 1S74.-The cause
of direct trade with Europe is at last re-
ceiving practical encouragement and as
Stunning feasible shape. The Charleston
Chamber of Commerce has taken the mat
ter in hand and inaugurated movement
that bids fair to be crowned with success,
and requires only the cooperation of the
interior cities to make the achievement
certain.
The Charleston Chamber of Commerce
in prosecution of its enterprising plan has
deputized a special commissioner in the
person of Mr.. j. Adger Smyth to visit the
cities of the South and West, including
Augusta, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville,
Louisville, ETC., to induce the business men
of Those cities to order all their foreign
goods direct through Charleston and thus
afford freight that win pay for the estab-
lishment of line of steamers every two
weeks.
Mr.. Smyth to-day addressed the Au-
gusta Exchange at length and most ably.
The meeting of the Exchange to hear him
was held this afternoon. He presented
unanswerable arguments and convincing
statistics in favor of a direct steamship
line from Charleston TO Liverpool and
Bremen. The Augusta Exchange enthu-
siastically endorsed the mission of Mr..
Smyth, and commend him cordially to the
people of the cities that he proposes to visit.
The Augusta Exchange also discussed
the Texas Pacific railroad and passed reSo-
buttons favorable to that road, commenting
IL to the consideration of Congress.
