Congress-.

The Seuate was not 10 session on Saturday.
In the House Of Representatives the bills to
enable VIM. H. Ward to make application for
a patent for machine to mould shell; and au-
thorizlng John w. Mark to apply far au ex-
tension OF his patent for a trimming attach
mcnt for sewing machines were passed. Mr.
Roberts reported bill to amend the Customs
laws, ADD TO repeal all laws allowing moieties
to officers, including the law under which the
notorious Sanborn contracts were made. Other
lnformers are never to receive more than the
value OF the articles seized, and in no case
more than $1,000. The exact sum inside these
limits is TO be fixed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and that officer is required TO make
full annual report, 10 each case, TO Congress.
Hereafter intent to defraud must be shown
and judgment is not TO be given upon proof of
mere technical violation of regulation. The
call for private bills was gone through with,
and a number were passed.
The SANBoRN CASE. In its editorial ccnl-
ments upon the Sanborn case, now uoder in-
vestigation by the Congressional Committee,
the Baltimore American says:
"For sonethree months has the committee
| been faithfully and patiently endeavoring to
find out who is responsible for converting the
revenue service into machine to earn money
for Mr.. Sanborn, and it is no nearer fixing the
responsibility now than it was when it COM
menced. The whole business has grown mean,
shabby and ludicrcus, and the ex. Secretary has
not put better face upon it. Whether San
born fist obtained his contract through the bar.
gaining Of the heads Of the Treasury with cor
rupt politicians, or whether the system Of The
Department was SO loose and slovenly that such
a job could be pushed through it without st-
tracing attention, is question tina. will proba,
bly, never be solved while we have only the les
timony Of the implicated officials and their ben
efciares to rely upon But it is shameful to see
the tricks, the evasions, the turnings and twist
ings of these witnesses before the committee
like set of boys caught robbng al orchard
and each seeking to put the blame upon the
other. Review the evidence from the beginning
and notice the shifts and contradictions and ad-
missions of negligence that Messrs. Boutwell,
Richardson, Sawyer and B,ntield have been put
to, to carry out their favorite theory that San
born just happened 20 get his contracts. The
attempts at retaining papers, denying records
instructing witnesses and passing the resposl
bility down to nameess subordinates, are the
worst and most convincing Of all the ugly fea
lures OF the transaction 1t las no defenders
for il cannot be defended"
