We received some days since the report Of
the Committee on Expenditures of the De-
partmeut of Justice, of which Mr.. SsNER is
chairman. 1t is voluminous; so were the
expenditures. The report is temperate in
tone, and the facts enormous. The Tribune
thus touches upon few points of the re-
port:
"From the day when United States Mar
shal Logan IL. Roots disbursed $4,000 a
month until now the administration Of JUS
ice in Arkansas has been a most expensive
farce. Mr. Roots is reported as running a
national bank, with capital Of $4,000, do
ing great business in fraudulent vouchers.
A genial deputy marshal, Perry Duval by
name, says that he and his coatjutors used
TO ride over the country and 'gobble up
wayfarers, arresting them on baSeless charges
for the sake of the mileage and fees. Alto
gether. the condition of affairs in the United
States districts is not whit better than in
the State under the discordant reign of
Brooks and Baxter. Now. what shall be
done about it,"

MopE CIVIL RIGHTS. -IcSterday morning
while the steamer Hampton was on her way
to this city, and after she hal lett Hampton,
three negroes who got on IL that pliCc at
tempted 10 procure trSt.claos tickets 70 this
city. They were refused, but afterwards, it
it thought, through the iuStrunentality of
some white person, obtained them and took
their seats in the saloon. The mate saw them
there and ordered them out, but they refused
10 obey. and the captains orders 10 this et-
feet were alike diSre@ardeC, and one of the
negroes struck his band with which he was
waving them towards the door. Seeing that
moral sua>ion was of no use, Captain Scher-
merboru knocked his asSailant down and
kicked him down stairs, the other two fol-
lowing him. On the lower deck the three
negroes were joined by others, and general
melee ensucd, the captain and mate being
assailed by numbers. The engineer of the
boat, seeing the trouble they were in, seized
u monkey-wrench, and with that weapon
speedily quelled the disturbance. There is
some rascJity at the bottom Of these fire.

An Express Error.

The H'hig of Monday endeavored to sug-
gcst an erroneous deduction from Its own
premises concerning certain Ohio railroads.
In putting 1t right we made an error which
il great degree broke the force OF our cor
rectioE.
The reader probably has observed that the
Wing. endeavoripg to change the discussion
from the real matter in debate, charges US
with being the champion of the Adams En-
press. Nothing could be more unjust. We
have repeated time and again that we have
nothing to do with that company. We Know
there arc other companies, and we cure not
which of them does the express business for
this city. Ii General MALONE would do 1t
rs we'll as any of them, we would be con-
tent. But he does it not at all, and bis COM
plc'e failure is the ground of complaint, and
against that we shall continue to complain
| rs long as 1t exists.
Now, then, our error was in mixing, Iup:a
| number of railroads with express companies.
We reprint our summary.
The prominent express companies of the
country are The Adams, American Mer-
chants Union, Eastern, Harnden, United
States, Texas Union Pacific (the Pacific rail-
road, whose express is about to be transferred
to IIarEdcn), and Wells, Fargo Il 20. These
great companies prorate and transfer, ana
are all responsible. We name below num-
Der Of railroads on which the Wing said the
Adams Company does not have its express.
And tba; paper left the Inference to be drawn
that they themselves run the express. W hat
is the truth:
The United States Express Company does
the express business over the following
roads: The Atlantic and Great Western
| Railroad; the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton Railroad; the Dayton and Michigan
Railroad; and Cincinnati, SandnSky anu
Cleveland Railroad. And the American
Merchants Union does the express business
over the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati
and Indianapolis Railroad and the Cleveland
and I'ittsburg Railroad.
What matters it that the Adams Express
does not run upon these roads! They all
employ express companies, and it is very
shallow movement by which the Wing
would seem to endeavor TO lead the public
to believe that those roads run their own
express.
TIE fuct is really Of no Importance. The
question is whether Richmond does or does
no. enjoy express facilities over the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad. If not she
ought TO have those facilities, and the sup
pcriers Of the management of that road
have not urged the first argument to show
that it is not the business Of that rodd-of
its President, General MAHoNE-to give
those facilities to the people of Richmond.
We should say that the larger express
companies are stockholders in several Of the
smaller companies, and that they are man.
agr d we'll and without discard, rs far as we
know. The Adams Company, Us we stated,
is the chosen express company of the Balti-
mere aud Ohio lines and the Pennsylvania
Central: The fact is the highest compli-
mcnt that could be paid it. Ii is also the
Express on all the railroads in Firginia-eX-
cept General MAHoSEs!

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE GRANGE OF THE
PATRONS OF merchandising,
Penn, June 1.-THE Grange has adjourned

buttons appeal to agrlculturists everywhere

practically at an early day. The amend
ments to the constitution of the National

rights, at the same time remembering that
all others have rights as we'll as themselves.
1t was predicted by the National Lecturer
who was present that Pennsylvania would
have 1000 Oranges next January, with q
membership of over $4,000. One county in
the State already had forty Oranges, with q
membership of nearly 1000, and the same
county had but one Grange, with less than
100 members, on the LIST of January. The
Grange adjourned to meet in regular session

WAsHBURs CHAR GGD WITH SwINDIHG.-ln
the United States House of Representatives
on Monday Mr.. Specr, of Pennsylvania,
moved proforma amendment, and pro-
duced a paper to sustain statement made
by him on Saturday In relation to the new
State Department. He charged that two dol
lars was paid for granite per foot, while
equally good granite could be bought for
sixty.tiye cents. He said the workmen- were
paid by the Government, and the favored
contractor received fifteen per cent. on the
amount dispensed.
Mr. Smith, of Virginia, said the Govern
ment had been defrauded out of S6o,Ooo Dy
Andrew Washbnrn, United States pension
agent at Richmond, Va. He bllShed 10 ac-
knowledge that such q man was pension
agent in his city. He hoped that the granite
company, which was furnishing granite
cheaper and better than could be procured
elsewhere, would not be denounced because
United States officer had detrauded Doth
it and the Government.
Mr.. PIitt. of Virginia, said, in reference
10 the statement relative to MIR. Washburn,
he desired to say they were unfounded.
WHY were not the charges made in proper
and manly form?
MIR. Smith replied that he had put the
charges in proper form and in the hands OF
the President.
MIR, Beck called attention to an assertion
made day or TWO since by Mr. Platt, OF
Virginia, that the construction of the new
State Department building was in charge oil
the Secretary.
Mr.. Plat asserted that as matter OF fact
the Secretary of State had the control. he,
explained the manner in which the work
men were hired by the contractor, who re-
ceiycd fifteen per cent. for the work which
was done under the supervision OF Gov
eminent inspector.
The proposed amendment was then with
drawn.
In view of the statements made in the
House to-day by Mr.. j. Ambler Smith and
other members in relation TO an alleged
swindle of the United States in the matter
of furnishing granite for the new Siate'De-
partmcnt building. Alr. Sener will olter
resolution directing an investigation OF the
whole subject. Mr.. Smith, who represents
the district in which the granite utt@rE'es arc
situated, made the direct and po-ciEc charge
that Mr.. WaShburn, the pension @@ent at
Richmond, had swindled the Government
out OF $4,000 by becoming connected 10
some way with the quarries. He further
said that be had had it i'll contemplation LOT
some time to offer resolution for an inrcs-
tigation. Mr.. Plat came to Washburns de-
fence, and denied the charge. But it does
not seem possible there can be so much
smoke unless there is fire SOnleWhere.-
