TIE POMEROY BRIBERY CASE.

A brief dispatch from Kansas, published q
day or two since, announced the final settle
ment Of what has been known as the Pomeroy
Bribery Case. The statement that portion
of the $1,000 bribery fund was returned to
Pomeroy himself is reported now to e,erro-
neous. The history of the fund is interesting.
1t was in February, 1873, that it was placed
by Senator York on the desk of the presiding
officer of the Senate, with the statement that
it had been given him by Samuel c. Pomcroy.
then a Senator of the United States and a
candidate for reelection, as a bride in pay
ment for York's vote and influence Mr.
York's story was that the opponents Of SEN
ator Pcmeroy, feeling satisfied that he was
making a corrupt use of money to aid his re-
election, devised plan to entrap him; and
that he york. was the instrument byswhich
it was effected. He said that he had met Pom
eroy. and that after beating about the bush
for q little time Pomeroy bad arranged the
terms, and in two payments given him $1,000,
with the promise of another thousand after the
election: On the day of the Senatorial election,
the two Houses of the Kansas Legislature be-
ing in Joint convention, when YOrk's name
was called he deliberately stepped forward to
the presiding officers desk and handed that
officer an envelope containing $1,000 in current
funds, requesting him to count the money.
When this was done, York, with good deal
of dramatic effect amid the breathless aston
ishment of his audience, announced that this
was the sum of money paid him by Senator
Pomeroy for his vote, and proceeded to mar
rate the circumstances attending the payment.
The immediate effect Of this piece of strategy
was what the persons who planned it most
desired. the defeat of Pomeroy, as after this
exposure his friends abandoned him and his
competitor Ingalls,, tho present Senator, was
elected. Mr.. YOrk's proposition when he
turned over the money to the keeping Of the
presiding officer of the Senate was that it
should be used to defray tho expenses of
prosecuting Pomeroy for his crime against
morality and law Proceedings were
instituted, and for two years have been
lingering along, hindered upon various pretexts
from coming to trial, until now conclusion
has been reached by which the cases are
Withdrawn and tho money remaining unex-
pended divided. The money was handed over

question. Il necessarily follows, therefore,
that considerable number of Administration
Senators would have voted against him IL they
had been compelled to vote at all. Yet these
same men had no hesitation about taking
refuge in that evasive device pointed OUT 10
them by West, by which they could delay the
decision of the matter nine months longer
and leave the field free in the mean while 10

they can in any manner be permitted to hold
their tongues when they do not agree with tnc
White House, and save at least share OF
their post-oiiices. This is a class which the
Presidents men understand exactly how to
deal with. When by careful count of noses
they had become convinced that this Pinch
back business was too strong for these deli
cate brethren, they suddenly and boldly offered
them this door of escape, and they accepted
it as eagerly as rats at bay would jump at the
shelter of friendly hole.
What Gen. Grant and his Louisiana sup
porters will do with this time they have
gained remains to be seen. 1t is not yet
known with absolute certainty what will be

swell that bill for relief with which he will
some day come before the party. Meanwhile
it is plain to see how he can be dextrously
held in terrorem over the head of Louisiana
to effect the election of one who. with all his
faults, has constant access to the White
House. Pinchback is a man and brother, but

TIE pOSTPONEMENT OF PINCHBACK

THE POS1PONEMENC OF PINCHDACh.
| There is no greater disaster for people
than for its politics to become ridiculous, and
our Senate seems to be doing its best to reach
this point. 1t has lost, ever since the admins
tration of Gen. Grant began, the character it
formerly enjoyed of being to a certain degree
superior to the House of Representatives. in
temper, deliberateness, and independence as
| well of popular gusts OF passion as OF
Executive influence. 1t has been more Bit
terly partisan than the House for several
years, in ways that showed ignorance as well
as malice. A body must be greatly lacking in
culture as well as justice which would degrade
men like Sumner and Schurz and put in their
places men like Cameron and Flanagan. 1t
was formerly thought that their longer term
| Of service would render Senators more
| independent of the hasty demands of their
constituents. But the last few years have
showns what weight is exerted upon
the most sordid motives Of Senators by the
fact that the President holds the patronage of
their States subject to their loyal and Obedent
behavior. If Senator Trumbull could have
passed his bill making it penal for Senator
to recommend anybody for office, it might have
raised the character of the Senate somewhat,
though it could not have prevented certain
number from begging at the backstairs for the
offices they now demand in the Executive Office.
But in the absence of any such regulation, the
President and Senate have gone on, tempting
and corrupting each other until the Senate
has positively become less dignifed body
than the House.
For this reason it will not cause 30 much
surprise as it should, that the Senate has
lodged the decision of the most important po-
litcal question before it at this session, in
very discreditable way. The Republicans have
been saying for the last six months that tho
admission of Pinchback was absolutely neces-
sary for the repOse and peace of the country.
They said this in every possible tone down to
within few minutes of midnight of Tuesday.
Then, while the air was still lurid with Nor
toms prophecies of horrors in case this affair
was not settled at once, and vibrating with
Logan's roaring repetition of his half-dozen
speeches to the same effect, Dir. West moved
to postpone the whole question TO the next
Winter, and the proposition was carried by
solid Administration vote. Among those who
opposed it we are glad to sec the names of
Judge Christiancy and ex-GOv Booth, who
seem to think it as unmanly TO dodge such
issues as it is to take the wrong side in them.
There are enough theories to account for
this disingenuous trick, but none which makes
the act especially honorable to the Republican
members of the Senate. 1t may be assumed,
and 10 fact Mr.. West had tho effrOntery to
ayOw, that Pinchback would not have been
admitted if vote had been taken on that

QUALIFICATIONS FOR OFFICE.

Two more! David p. Lowe of Kansas to
be Commissioner of Pensions. MIR. Lowe was
Representative in Congress, but as his con-
stituents had no further need of his services
he retired on the 4th of March. He signalized
the last hours of his official career at the Cap
itol by sustaining Mr. Alexander Il. Shepherds
proposal to recognize Joseph Brooks as Gov
ernor of Arkansas, and voting for the Force
bill, and so the President has taken care of
him. This will have an excellent effect here
after in promoting an independent and'patll-
otto sp.rit-we will not say among unjust stew
ards who are about to be turned out OF their
ste wardsLp, but among Congressman who
have not been reelected.
And Joseph Brooks to be Postmaster at
Little Rock! This eminent statesman, who
struggled two years for the GOvernorship and
finally put up with O post Office, reminds us
of the office seeker who began by demanding
foreign mission and came down by degrees
to an old pair of pantaloons. What has
Brooks done to earn an office? He threatened
Arkansas with civil war; and he lent himself
to o faction of advent Ters, whose names are
ANONYMOUS with all that is disreputabie In
politics and dishonest IN fnanciering,. to over
throw the State Government and set aside
the new Constitution after it had been adopted
by an overwhelming vote of the people. 1t is
only little while since the President issued
proclamation calling Brooks and his follow
ers turbulent and disordery persons and
commanding them to disperse. Even Attorney
General Williams secuted his pretensions
to be recognized as Governor. The Poland
Committee and the House of Representatives
declared against him in the most emphatic
terms. Ever since the close Of the Bg9oks-
and Baxter war he has been a nuisance to tho
State and in his new place he will probably
be q nuisance STILL The new nominations
make it plain that the chief qualification for
office in these days is an alacrity in sustaining
every violent and revolutionary project upon
which the President determines. The time
has passed when such appointments could sur
prise us. Upon their significance people will
form their own opinions.

THE PORT JERVIS FLOOD.

The barrier of ice that has SO long OBJ
structed the Delaware River and kept the
dwellers along its banks in fever of appre-
hension, has at length given way. The tor
rent, gathering fresh volume with every
obstacle that yielded to it, swept through its
path of destruction without much regard to
the engineering devices that were to
circumscribe its course. We give on
another page vivid description OF
the event, and some account OF
the wreck it has Occasioned. For while 1t
appeared as if the precautions that had been
taken would prove successful, and the
channel that had been opened articially
seemed capable of conveying the flood. But
when a fresh accession to its power came by
the giving way of one of the upper bridges,
the lower structures. which it was hoped
were secure, were swept into the common ruin.
So far as the ice gorge near Port Jervis was
concerned, the engineering operations seem to
have been in some measure successful. part
of the additional volume that otherwise might
| there have been added was carried off through
the passage artifcially made. But even the
full effect of the operations that were pro-
jected,was not attained.
The experience of this Spring shows con-
clusively that our engineers have as yet a
very insufficient knowledge on the subject of
ice gorges. Their devices seem to be mere
experiments, offering an even chance of sue
cess or failure. In nitro glycerne wo have
an explosive agent of abundant strength to
tear passage through the heaviest
accommodations of ice. 1t is not the means
we want, but the knowledge to apply
the means to advantage. Another season
should not be allowed to pass without a
full consideration of this subject by our scien-
tifc bodies. 1t is quite within the province OF
the National Academy, which will meet next
month. 1t will of course receive consideration
atsthe meeting of the Association of Engi-
neers. The reports of the Signal Service Bu-
reau might be utilized every Winter in ascer-
tanning in advance when and whore great ice
dams are forming. There is at least some
ground for the current belief that the chief
cause of failure in dealing with these ac-
cumulations of ice, is that measures OF
relief are not taken early enough in the season.
The sufferers by this disaster are at all events
relieved from the horror of a ong-impending
danger 1t is fortunate that the torrent broke
through in the day time. 1t is more than
fortunat if no lives are lost.
