BILLS THAT NEED WATCHING.

There is a class of bills brought
before Congress each session which
are presented, referred, reported
back and passed without the knowl
edge of the people, and which in
many cases are little better than di-
rect attempts to take money from
the treasury without giving any
thing in return; or to speak more
plainly stealing. Our specials re-
late that there are over 10000 bills
before Congress, mostly on private
claims; and this must be true, for
careful examination of the busi-
ness before Congress would not fur
nish more than 100 bills of general
interest to the whole Union. The
manner in which "private claims"
are sometimes rushed through or
quietly attached to some measure
of more Importance. and permitted
to go through under its "ggis" is
one of the most fragrant abuses now
prevalent in Congress. The secresy
whether Intentional or not, which
covers their class of legislation, is
all wrong, and reform is due the
people. The only safeguard now is
the Ways and Means Committee,
which occasionally contrives to
strangle batch of private bills, but
even its .watchfulness, in the midst
of onerous duties, cannot always be
relied On. There should be com
plete system provided by which the
people may know what ''little jobs"
have been put in process for grab
at the treasury, and no better plan
suggests itself thar that of requir
ing the clerk of the House to adver-
bloC Ill C1Cu o1dJC GliC uduC vi buC
claimant, the character of his de-
mand and the amount claimed. This
would give intelligent citizens who
know the claimant and facts an op-
portunity to be heard. II is well
known at Washington that many
frauds upon the treasury have been
prevented by the voluntary testimo-
ny of persons who were moved sole
ly by patriotism to tell what they
knew.
Let these claims be advertised in
some way, at least let the bills from
each State be advertised in the jour
nails of that State. This done, we
predict that the committees who
consider such bills will often receive
suggestions from outside parties
which will help them materially in
determining their merit and JUS
Leader.

A PRESENT FROM SPAlN-A SWORD
FOR THE PRESIDENT.
There is at the State Departmen

There is at the State Department
a finely finished sword, sent by the
late CASTELAR, government of Spain,
rs present to President Grant. 1t
is a superb Toledo blade, of rare
workmanship, and Of the finest met
al and temper. On one side is
list of battles in which General
Grant figured during the rebellion,
and on the other the words "Let us
have peace" The hilt is what is
known as the basket pattern, and
was carved entirely by hand. The
scabbard is of polished steel, with
out any ornament. Under the Con-
stitution neither the President nor
any officer of the United States can
accept present from any foreign
government, and it will require an
lct of Congress to enable General
Grant to become the possessor of
his sword.-WaShingtOn Star.

earnest devotion to liberal educa-

that its management means to make
the most of all the agencies that
may be provided.

THE RicHLAnD Comfy EMBEZZLE-
MENT, 80

It is said that j. 81. Rowland, who
so recently passed away from Rich
land with, $1,000 of county money,
is said to be in Canada. One of
our exchanges asserts that he evinc-
ed willingness to refund all the
stolen lucre on the condition that
his bondsmen be released, and that
he GO unpnnished. If he has made
such an offer, it will undoubtedly be
accepted, as he cannot, under our
extradition treaty, be brought TO
this state. Under the Ashturton
treaty there are but five crimes for
which person may be extricated
from England or her colonies-viz.,
murder, arson, forgery, treason and
robbery. The latter is clearly de.
fined in Canada to be taking form the
person of another by violence. The
person so charged must be arrested
on a warrant of a magistrate, and
stand an examination as in similar
cases in the country. If the evi.
dence would be sufficient, if the
crime was committed in Canada, to
commit the prisoner to appear be
fore the next Quarter Session-oul
Common Pleas Court-then he is
committed to await the action of the
United States authorities, and will
then be delivered to the agent oi
the United States appointed by the
President.
This being a defalcation and EN-.
bezzlemeut, it will hardly come un.
der the crimes enumerated above.
