What the Snnbora Contracts are.

So much has lately been said and pub
lished about the Sanborn Contracts that
it may be Il matter of some interest to
our readers to know what they are. 1t
seems that when assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury, Sawyer, was in the Senate
as a Southern G. B., he secured the adop-
ton of an amendment to bin which
provided that contracts with not exceed
ing three persons should be made for the
collection of certain revenues, upon terms
to be prescribed by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. Sawyer then took charge
of the machine and got Sanborn in to
assist him. They became head contrac-
tors, with Sanbom in the nominal lead
but the beneficiaries are understood to
include several prominent members Of Con-
gress, Beast Butler Ct id omie.
One item Of Sanborn's collections was
$500, 600 Of unpaid revenues in Boston.
Oft!lis sum Secretary Richardson allowed
him 80 per cent, for collection and all his
expenses, so that Mr.. Sanborn made the
snug sum Of $500, 900 clear in the course
of few months All the other contracts
under the Sawyer section were made up
on the basis Of 80 per cent. commission
and all expenses, go that the government
only realize from thirty five to forty
cents on the dollar As matter of
course the whole thing was Il "swindling
Job" but it would have gone on, so long
as there was pay in it, hal it not been
for the vigilance of the Democracy
The first statements submitted by the
Democratic press were, Of course, denied.
They were called democratic ISLANDERS
of good and pure men" But the evidence
adduced was too positive and reliable 10
be slightly treated. The consequence
was that the House had, finally, to call
for copies Of the contracts. Mr.. Rich
ardson lodged the call, however, and
sent in other papers, not called for and
not wanted. The call had the effect to
call Mr. Sanborn to Washington TO look
after his interests and to pronounce for
slight reduction"
In 1878, he found it impossible 70 col
lect the delinquent revenue, for less than
80 per cent commission aud all incident
al expenses. In 1874, he says that he
is willing to undertake it Tor % per cent
Mr.. Sanborn says that il the Treasury
Department will give him this contract
he will collect S25, 900, 00D This would
net him 80, $50, 900, about $500, 900 per
month. Loyalty" may be a good thing
in its way, but it seems t. ~ that a price
like this for the services Of one professor
of that science partakes of the ''steep.

about his work like an unwilling hireling
When an officer accepts a plan he be-
comes responsible for its success. There
was no person at Richmond to force his
baton to his grasp had he chosen to de-
cline it. Pemberton resigned as general
to take command of battery, and Bragg
declared his willingness to go into the
ranks, but General Johnston held on as
long as there was a regiment in the field
he held office under an administration
which had tried to disgrace him. When
they called he went; when they ordered
he came. They made him the instru-
ment of death to thousands of poor brave
men whose ignorance and love made
them look up with respect and confidence
to their general and he led them to
slaughter-useless slaughter-under the
order of the administration as coolly as if
they were trees that he were Topping un-
der orders of a foolish master This is
not military 1t has not the first element
OF soldiers brave, proud heart about it.

Hooker more than his estimate of Gen

learned to resign; but while taking

The Destruction of Sugar Plan
tatiOns Ina Cuba.

A new desolation has been added to
the waste of the Cuban instruction. The
sugar plantations of the island are being
put to the torch. The incenoiaries are
unknown, but they are presumably the
insurgents. Their estates have been con-
fscated. They are driven 20 desperation,
and are but too ready to sacrifice any
thing that will lessen the attractions of
their beloved island for the Spaniards.
A large portion Of Spanish revenue from
Cuba depends upon the sugar crop, and
Spanish finances are, therefore, involved
Cuba furnishes about one-third the sugar
crop of the world, and, if the destruction
of the cane becomes general, It's effect
will be fairly worldwide. -Chicago Tri-

But this article is already too long for
the limits of newspaper. It is not in
tended as a criticism upon either Gener-
al Johnston,s strategy or capacity, but
because the writer deems him to have
done Mr.. Davis great injustice and him
self more. He makes a grave mistake
whe he imagines because the southern
people found fault with the administra-
ton, in some few particulars, they meant
to make hero of him. He is also mis-
taken if he supposes the soldiers will ever
place him beside such men as Lee and
| jackson. His continued and invidious
comparisons of his own position with
/ these great captains and our other brave
generals can only make him appear less
than he is. If he desires to know, he
may hear that the soldiers, with a keen
insight into fitness for office, declared
that he was the best quartemaster in the

A HUNDRED HORNS FOR A SIN
GLE HAIR.

Here is q very pretty story from vi
emma, told by one Of the papers in that
city: CA few days ago @ young and
poorly-clad girl entered BARRIERS shop
i'll Vienna and told the proprietor that
he must buy her head The fi5seur
examined her long, glossy, chestnut
locks, and began to bargain. He could
give eight gTllden, and no more Hair
was plentiful this year, the price had
fallen, there was less demand, and other
phrases Of the kind The little maiden's
eyes filed with tears, and she hesitated
q moment while threading her fingers
through her chestnut locks. She finally
threw herself into a chair. In Gods
name, she gasped, take it quickly
The barber, satisfied with his bargain,
was about to clinch It with his shears.
when a gentleman who sat half shaved,
looking on, told him to stop. My child
said he why do you want to sell your
beautiful bair?' Ny mother has been
nearly five months Ill; [ can't work
work enough to support US; everything
has been sold or pawned, and there is
not penny in thehouse, '(und klein Arent-
aer ins ha1se.) 40, no, my child, said
the stranger, IF that is the case, VIII
buy your hair, and viii give you q hun
bred gulden for it. He gave the poor
girl the note, the sight of which had
dried her tears, and took up the barber's
shears. Taking the locks in his hand,
he took the longest hair, cut it off alone
and put it carefully in his pocket-book,
thus paying one hundred forms for
single hair. He took the poor girls I'D
dress, in case he should want to buy an
other at the same rate. This charitable
