THE COLLECTION OF THE EKTER-
II EAI. rlEYE,ErErIs-- L.

1t is a titanic task-this effort to
keep the people posted concerning the
manifold coTuptions of the reign
ing party at Washington. If we were
to devote our whole space, day after
day 70 the reproduction Of the expo
sures being made, our columns would
not be equal to the task. We canonly
note the more salient and Widespread
ing abuses of the peoples money: 1t
is several years since Gen. Grant
mounted his hobby Of civil service re-
form, but meanwhile the civil service
grows worse and worse from year to
year. In no department. perhaps, is
this so plentifully proven as in the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. The Netg
York Tribune of Jan ., publishes from
its Washington correspondent a care
fully tabulated statement showing the
amount of internal revenue collected
in each district in the United States,
the cost Of collection and the rate per
cent which the cost Of collection makes
Of the whole amount. Below we giFe
the recapitulation by States. An ex-
animation of the last column vii show
that the per centage was increased last
year over what it was the year before,
while, on account of the simplifcation
Of the work Of the Office and the more
general use Of stamps, it should have
been reduced: d

WASHINGTON Jan. 1.-The Sergeant
alarms of the Hous is entitledby law
to a messenger at al annual salary of
sixteen hundred and fifty dollars For
some years Ordway has had his sons
name carried on the rolls as holding
the position, and has drawn the salary
for him with cheerful and healthy reg
ularity. During all Of the time, how
ever, the boy has been attending col,
lege in New England. and has rendered
no official service to the Sergeant-at-
Arms or any other officer of the, House,
The House paid last year from its con
tingent fund for the use of nine horses,
for carriage and saddle purposes, the
sum of $500. The DOorkeeper OF the
House, Otis S. Buxton, receives two
dollars and fifty cents day for the use
Of carriage and horse, and two dol
lars day for the use of saddle horse
all the year round, whether Congress
is in session or not. As both the ami
mails are fed and cared for at the Gov
ernment's expense, the Doorkeeper is
presumed to have a pretty good thing
Of it. =- aa .--.l
A letter was received here this even
ing from a gentleman, now a resident
of Baltimore, but formerly a clerk in
the employ of Gen. George w. Balloch,
Chief Disbursing Officer of the Freed
mems Bureau, under Howard. The
writer of the letter says that it was his
duty, while In the service of the bureau,
to examine the vouchers for each and
every month, and also to make out the
pay-rolls. He AYERS that horses and
carriages for the private use of Gen.
Howard and the private members of
his staff, and the summer vacation to
favorite clerks, including their travel
ing expenses, were provided and paid
for with money belonging TO the Gov
eminent; that the wife of Capt. Sladen,
a member of Towards staff, was borne
ON the pay-rolls under her maiden
name; that Towards coachman was
borne on the pay-rolls, as was also the
wife of one Capt. Gerard, while she had
no appointment and did no duty what
ever. In conclusion, he states that
there are many other Irregularities
which ought to be made public, and
volunteers to give his testimony before
a committee at any time. He signs his
full name, and the letter bears every In
dication Of having been written by one
who knew whereof he affirmed, and was
confident of his ability to back up what
he asserts

The amount of revenue collected in
the State of New Yorkin 1872 was S23,-
1864; the amount collected in 1873
was Sl9,2S6, 63O.43. Thus it viii be
seen that, while the amount Of revenue
decreased, the expenses of the Super
visors increased % per cent. A part
Of this increase may be explained as
follows: 1t is not customary for the
Department to pay the hotel bills Of
officials when they are Eat home" but
only when they travel on public bust
ness. But Supervisors Hawley, being
a resident ofBuffalo, had his headquart-
ers nOminally changed to that city; and
so every time he went 500 miles to New
York city, where the business was ac-
tually done, he had a bill of expenses
against the government. This was but
the precedent for numerous other Off
Gals saddling their hotel bills, etc, on
the same broad shoulders. Another
trick is, whenever a Washington clerk
goes home to vote, the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue gives him some lit
tie job to perform rs special agent, de-
tectiYe or what not, in order that his
travelling expenses may be paid out of
the Urea sury. And so it goes. But if
we undertook to tell our readers the
1.-THE Of these ''small steahngs" we
would have no room whatever for the

THE LOUISIANA QUESTION.
From the New York Times.

WASHINGTON, Jan. There is a
growing conviction that Congress viii
determine the Louisiana question by
ordering a new election. A gentleman
who has been intimately connected with
the Republican party there from the
commencement of the existing compli-
cations, and who has enjoyed the best
opportunity for forming an intelligent
opinion, to-day stated that it seems to
him probable that Congress will order
new election, rather than attempt to
decide upon the claims of the contest
ants fled here. He also asserted that
such action would, doubtless, prove sat
isfactory to the people of Louisiana.

STEALS NNUMERABLE.
Effect of Recent Exposures on the Adj
minisfratiOn's Western Adherents.
Hmm the St Louis Repnblican.


WASHINGTON, Jan. SIT never
rains but it pours, and the exposures of
Tweedism in Washington having be-
gun, there seems to be no end to them,
The various departments seem to have
been sieves through which the public
money has leaked and filtered for years
in every direction. When it was posi-
BILE to screen a steal und,r some con-
tingent expense, the opportunity has
been embraced, until the number and
variety of petty larcenies on the public
treasury has been infinite.
All these things are coming out in
doublets, making interesting reading
for the Changers these long winter
evenings. a prominent Western Ad-
ministration Congressman, just return
ed from his holiday vacation, remarked
to me tonight that it was no use to
disguise the truth any longer, the Ad-
ministratlOn had ceased to command
the popular confidence, and that the
Republican party, as represented by
the Administration, had lost It's grip In
the Northwest. This gentleman, hav-
ing spent the last two weeks among
his constituents, has some opportunity
Of knowing what he is talking about.

1t Is curious to note that the one
State which shows Nc change IN the per
cent. Of cost for collecting the revenues,
is Ohio-a State IN which the parties
are nearly balanced, and where the live,
straightout Democracy lave been most
vigilant and active, until last year they
got possession Of the State The ugh-
est features of the table are such IN
creases in the per cent. Of cost as that
shown by Mississippi, from about 8 per
cent. in 1872 to Il per cent in 1873
while other States, Ike Nevada. show a
decrease from 81 per cent. to Is. There
has been nothing IN the commercial de-
velopment OF these States to explain
such enormous divergences. Theloose-
ness Of q system producing such re-
suits must be appalling. The lowest
per cent. Of cost for collecting, in any
single district, occurs IN the First dis
trict Of Illinois, where it was last year,
nine-tenths of one per cent, showing
that the bulk Of internal revenue
weighs on Western products; and even
this is a slight increase over 1872, when
it was only three-fourths Of one per
cent. The next lowest is the First DIS
trict OF Ohio, only 98-I00 Of one per
cent, again showing the heavy collec-
tons in the West, which cause a low
per cent. of collection costs. The high |
est rate the past year was in Dakota,
where the Government got only one
dollar Of every ten dollars gathered |
from the people. The cases in which |
the Treasury received only four, FIVE or |
six dollars on each ten dollars wrung
out of the people, are too numerous to |
partieularize. Below, We give the |
statement for Tennessee by districts:

JUDGE PETERS, of Maine, VINO sery-
ed several terms in Congress, and re-
fused to take the back pay at the close
Of the last Congress, says there is a de-
fusion about the expenses Of living in
Washington. He IS also reported as
saying It is mistake to suppose that
members sacrificed their private busi-
ness by going to Congress. He was an
active lawyer when he went to Con
gress, and he ought to know, for he was
pretty constant in his attendance at
the sessions.

THE Washington correspondent of
the Ne1r York Sun, writing Jan. l, says:
The Treasury Department stable is
not the only establishment Of the kind
here for the benefit Of officials. There
are two stables for horses at the Cap
itol in which the teams Of Senators and
Representatives are kept, the expense
being charged to the ontingent funds
of the Senate and House. The drivers

he should press the passage Of the bill
so as to have an uniform freight tariff,
to test the question whether Con-
gress has power to regulate the mat
ter. He admitted there would be some
difficulty in getting the bill through
Congress, as there is a difference of
opinion on the subject of regulating
freights.

QUAKING ANON G OFFICIALS.
Army Officers Involved ia the PecuIa-
ton from the Department Funds.

From the Springfield Republican
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The COM
bat deepens over the private carriages
and servants. One cabinet officer is
reported to have sold out his establish
ment, and returned the original
amount to the contmgentfund. Not only
are the department officers provoked
and indignant at the impertinence of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, but
they are incensed at the attempt of
Williams friends to defeud him by
saying that everybody else about the
departments were driving themselves
and families in similar stolen teams.
Before the subject is disposed of the
chances are that half the officials Of
high rank in this city viii be by the
ears. The last discovery of an extra
fine carriage and span is thatof the Chief
Clerk of the Agricultural Department,
Frederick Watts, Jr., who comes over
to the city regularly to his meals, and
his driver sits in state outside and
waits for him. Senators and members
here say the matter has become such a
scandal that it must be investigated at
the meeting of Congress.
The book of estimates contains an
item of $500 for forage for the ma
rine corps. This is inserted under the
naval establishment. It has been as
seTtained that. although the Comptrol-
Ter Of the Treasury construes the pres
ent law as prohibiting military officers
from drawing commissioned quarters,
H.N
houses, such as Gems. Sherman, Meigs,
and others, and receive Communication
under the pretext that the war de-
partment rents rooms for them. The
money is obtained by these officers
turning these houses over to agents,
generally members of their families,
wins, in turn, rent them TO the govern
ment for an;amount equal to the COM
mutation paid for rooms due to the
rank of each officer.
