honest examination of the claims would
have Welded, while many honest claim
ants who refused to submit to- the da-
vision exacted by The conspirators
we're left without any form OF redress
whatever.
The Government Of Venezuela,
having learned something OF the
frauds practiced by the commls-
sion, have refused to pay the
interest on the awards, though on
one occasion, some time ago, they
sent gold for the interest to our Secfe-
tary of State under protest, and he,
after some discussion in Congress
paid out in greenbacks the sum he
had received in coin. So great has
been the power of this combination of
plunderers that it has been proposed
to make war on Venezuela, to compel
the payment of these fraudnient
awards; and in his last message Presl-
dent Grant says that We should deal
forbearingly with that republic on
account OF its Weakness.
II the details of this transaction, as
set forth by the correspondent Of the
Sun, are true, it Is certainly one OF the
most disgraceful swindles to be found,
even in the dark record OF Radicai
venality and corruption, and should
be promptly and thoroughly inFesti-
gated by Congress.

The Herald brings ont an interest
ing circumstance connected with the
appointment Of Chief Justice Waite.
1t seems that he was first nominated
by S. l.. Barlow, of this city, some SIX
months ago, and that III appointing
him President Grant has followed Mr.
Barlow's advice. There is nothing
wrong in this; aud indeed it might De
we'll for General Grant AND ior the
country if he would Qftener draw conn /!
sci from the same source; but the fact
tends to strengthen the belief that IN
1864 Mr.. Waite voted for Mcclellan.
We dare say such WAS the ease we
suppose that it Is indisputable that
not long before that election he was Ia
full sympathy with a most estlmaole
class Of men then known as Copper
heads, who, while they believed III
the integrity OF the eo''l'.
try, strongly disapproved OF many
measures which MIR. Lincoln, Mr. sew
ard. and MIR. Stanton were then put
ting in force. These measures were
freely denounced at the time by such
men as Mr.. Barlow, Judge thurman
(the present Senator from Ohio. Judge
Black, of Pennsylvania, and Governor
Seymour, of New York; and unless We
are greatly mistaken MIR. Waite al
that time shared their views, and was
perhaps even more extreme in his feei-
.nos than some of them. This makes
it all the more remarkable that he
should have been appointed Chief Jas
tee on the suggestion of Mr.. Barrow
and that Mr.. Thurman should nave
been the principal advocate OF his con
in the Senate.-lNe" f''N

HISTORY sss' GEFsCEAE VIII

The New York Sun, which spares
neither pains nor expense to ferret out
and expose the vilIainy and corruption
which characterize the manner ii which
public affairs ere managed in Washing
ton, in its issi1e Of Monday last gives a
detailed history CT q conspiracy, which
| ought to bring blush upon the check
OF every american. 1t seems that in
1866 Joint commission was appointed
by the Government OF Venezuela and
the Government of the United States
to audit and sett1e claims which
American cltizeEs had fet up against
the former Government on account Of
damages alleged to have been incur-
red during various civil connections in
that country. The commission was
composed of one citizen of each power.
In case OF disagreement they were to
select an umpire, aad to make every
thing safe, they chose boy OF eight
cen, a Venezuelan, to act in that Gu
pacity.
The american Minister to Venzuela
IT. \. 5tiiwoil and his Secretary of
Legation l'ore prominent part in the
affair, and along with the two comu.is-
sioners undertook to employ the COM
mission for the enormous scheme of
public and international robbery. OF
this conspiracy the Secretary of the
Legation, one Murray, was the active
agent. he obtained beforehand from
most of the claimants an agreement to
pay to him one-half of whatever
amount they might recover. The
claims of parties who refused to enter
into this agreement were either de-
nounced by the commission as I'M
founded or were tacitly disallowed;
while the claims of those who had
agreed to the required division were
passed without Investigation, the only
ceremony being that in many Gases
their amounts were doubled before
they weEe allowed.
A large proportion of the awards was
brought by the osnzpirators to the
United States in certificates binding
the Venezuela Government, and aaost
of these were distributed by the brig
ands, though portion of them are
still involved in law suits in this coun-
try. The amount OF debt thus sad
died upon the Treasury of Venezuela
Is now not far from a million and half
of dollars, many times as much as an

A strange use has been made of fish
scales, in the manufacture of water
proof material, designed for dental
plates, but capable of being made into
waterproof cloaks and other useful ar
ticles. The fish scales are dissolved
and combined with certain fibrCus and
adhesive substances. The material
may be highly polished and colored
to any desired tint.
