CLAIMS AGAINST THE GOVERN
MENT

II is q matter for congmtulation that in
the numerous laws passed by Congress to
regulate the adjudication of claims against
The Government the utmost care has been
taken 10 provide against the allowance OF
payment of fraudulent accounts. Notwith.
standing this care, however, it is certain
that numerous claims, based upon false &C.
counts have been paid, and that injustice
has been done to the Government in many
instances. No human foresight can pre-
vent such unfortunate occurrences, and, SO
long as human nature is capable of sin and
dcpuvity, they must lie expected us the
natural consequences of wicked greed. 1t
is SO much easier to plumber the public
through the Government than to rob it indi-
vidually that the prospect of gain through
false claims presents a most attractive ave
nue. for riches to the unprincipled scoundrels
with which society is infested. In such
eases the Government appears as silent
and accomplishing victim. The conspira-
tors prepare their plans, make the assault
upon some Department or commission, and
carry of their spols unmolested. But, in
the course Of time, these precautions have
been abusively enlarged upon until, at pres.
ent, it is a common thing to hear complaints
that the Government treats every claimant
as plundering robber until the contrary is
proven and character of unblemished
honesty unquestionably established. TWAS
evidently not the intention of Congress, in
the passage of laws providing for the organ.
izatiOn of claims commissions and the pay.
ment of claims by the Departments, that
such an exaggerstion of the i'ssi.ts, privil.
eyes and immunities of the Government
should he granted. The plain design Of
the laws in question Is to do equal and exac,
justice to both the Government and claim.
ants:Ss it would be done between man and
man in the transactions of private life.
Perhaps, after all, the trouble does not res,
entirely with the officers who execute the
laws, because Congress reserves to itself IN
many cases (the Southern Claims Com
mission, for instance) the right of re
vision, and it therefore becomes the
interest of the officials to make thcil
awards as meagre as possible. II
doing this they take advantage of tn
provision which allows thcD,'tc prcscfib,

A ynL has been introduced in the House
by Hon. John Amber Smith, of Virginia, look
ing to an entire reorganization of the Govern
ment machinery for the collection of the ma
tional revenues. It Is proposed to abolish the
internal revenue and commissioner of customs
Offices and consolidate the duties of both into
o single bureau of revenue. The proposed
change is designed to simplify the process of
collection and dispense with Q large number of
sinecure positions: It Is believed by the ad-
vocates of this bill that in many districts the
collector Of the port can, with the assistance OF
deputies, transact the duties now pertaining to
the Office of collector of internal revenue in
addition to those imposed by the foreign COM
merce of the port. There is no doubt that the
present revenue system of the country, anu the
regulations governing It, need revision. There
is much room for improvement. The regula-
tons ought to be greatly simpliied. If the
force employed Is larger than is needed for the
faithful collection Of the revenues ana the pre-
vention and detection of fraud upon the Treas
ury it should be reduced.

The New York Express rises to explain, as
follows: 'The Washington NATIONAL REPrB-

prietors, and turned it over, body and soul,
into Republican organ, also without their
knowledge, consent, or even consultation with
them, We beg leave to say to it, and to our
friend of the Louisville Courier, which makes
bad worse by its heading and typographical
bluEder, that the Express is not sold, has not
been offered for sale and will not be-" The
next time we sell our contemporary, we shall

do it any injury in the premises, and regret it if
we have. The Express is still a sound Demo-
cratic organ.

The Hartford Conranf speculates as follows
on the women's anti-whisky war: "Yet it is
strange sight for civilized land, this woman's
crusade, and in the name and with the Offices
of religion, too. Its methods show what lit
tie way We have come from barbarian and
superstition and violence. It is a startling con-
fession of the weakness of society, of the ina
bility of men to make and administer law for
the public good. 1t is a painful comment upon
the little progress men have made as indi-
viduals In self-control. Temperance in Its full
meaning is virtue that is hardly recognized
Our methods are still incorporate and violent.
We cannot reform our society without pas
sionate excitement and temporary fanaticism
which is rather physical than spiritual in its
manifestation"

A BILL has been introduced in the House
repeating that portion Of the act Of Con-
gress which authorized the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railroad Company to cross the Sixth
street reservation. The passage Of the act IN
question was an outrage in the hrst place, and
1t is to be hoped that II will be repealed ct
once. It will be no injury to the railroad com
pany, and VIII be . great gain to the city.

A CONVENTION is to be held at Raleigh next
month to discuss the immigration question,
and, if possible, attract emigrants southwark.
The idea is good one, and we hope some sub
stantial benefit may come of 1t, but our South
ern friends should recollect that the working
man and the skilled mechanic will never settle
in that section until the old feudsl notions that
labor is disgrace and idleness honorable and
aristocratic are abandoned. That is the trouble
with the South. A NORTHERN man who visited
Virginia short time ago put the whole case in
nutshell when he told the story which is now
floating through our exchanges, that ''every
otherwhite male citizen he met had gun on
his shoulder and a dog at his heels"

an effort TO get up military company, had very
bad effect upon the negroes. AS the blacks In
Mississippi are too numerous to be frightened oy
any sucn device, and especially the blacks living
within twenty miles OF the headquarters OF the
Department OF the Gull, the only effect OF such
unauthorized organizations must be to enrage
them. And the republican papers In such an
emergency WILL contribute much to enhance the
bitterness OF ieeing. The following paragraph
from the republican organ here may serve as q
specimen
That military company Is slow in getting up We see
no use OF 1t so long as Holly Springs Is so near.
And here Is the leading editorial announcement
from the same paper-
Federal bayonets comingi
When the negroes read things like these, or hear
tnen read, ana know, as they cannot Iail to know,
that they are true. It is wonder they should be-
whites Nor can there be any talk among the DEM
ocratic politicians about the ''color hne'' or
"wnlte leagues" without their knowing all about
~ See how deitly the RicOchet puts the point
We want no white black leagues in north Missis-
npP, we cannot afford to have any color line issues
oxford. ana II Is high time sossippng sosns; were
misunderstanding rumors
The evil effect OF these 'rdle, mischie f. breeding
runors" upon the negro mind IS incalcuable es-
peciay when we consider that the negro belief in
the potency OF federal bayonets is a religion The
latter point cannot be better illustrated Jnan by
Joke upon colonel Lamar. one OF the negro
waters at the hotels informs me that that dlStn-
gulshed gentleman behaves much better now than
before ne went TO Washington-"Doe not put on
SO many airs, sab, as he used to-" And the reason
assigned lot this lancled change in the demea eanor
OF the Congressman is that ne saw Grant and came
nome with hea In his ear There Is not much
activity here. however IN the pursuit OF this MIS-
chievous and mistaken policy, and. when COM

FUTURE OF The UNITED STATES.

During the session OF the British Association at
Besst, on the Goth OF August Mr.. George Ward
Norman read I'm the Economic Science Secti0n)
paper "On the Future OF the Cnited States.u Hc
said there probably never was nation more ia.
vored by Providence than the Anglo Americans.
He traced their settlement on the American Con.
tnent and their history, ana gave brief account
OF the rise and progress OF the United States. lie
doubted the possibility OF establishing In an old
country anything At all ike the government OF the
great Repubhc On the whole there was no coun.
try IN which the national Will when once ascer.
tained and expressed, would more surety attain
the objects at which II aimed than In the United
states. When the majority pronounced opposition
ceased. The centrallzatlon OF the government id
no prejudicial effect on the Development and exer.
else OF the NATIONAL power. During the late civil
war, when the Unionists were temporarily divided,
the armies brought into the field numbered nearly
l,5OO, OOO and that out OF population OF perhaps
25O00,WO. What would he say as to the future OF
the united states He could see no danger as
long as and remained available for cultivation
and population. There was no Imperial Legsla-
ture sitting IN vast capital ana open at any time
10 the attacks OF mob. Socialistic views we're
not, OF course, confined TO Europe but In the
United states, where II was easy to obtain SUB
sistence, there was nothing like the food for dis
convent which was to be found In Germany,
France or England.
