Grant has returned to Washing
ton after an absence of over four
months in pursuit of pleasure
More than one-third of the entire
year has been thus devoted by Mr..
Grant TO the qualification of his
own personal tastes at the expense
of the people of thu United States.
In most avocations the absence Of
an eDploye would be attended with
suspension Of salary during ab-
sence, but it is not so with the
servan: of the people. This pies
ure trip Of the executive has cost
the country sls,Os4. As a neces-
sary consequence of the glaring
abuse, the business Of the country
requiring prompt attention and the
personal care of those charged with
the chief responsibilities, has suf-
fered far more than can be safely
stated from the want Of precise
data. Il has come 10 be assumed
that the machinery of government,
except for routine and details, is
stopped during the simmer be-
cause of this absenteeism, which,
beginning with the President and
cabinet, extends to all the heads of
bureaus, and includes the chiefs of
divisions in every department, and
instead of attending to their duties
have passed the summer months in
pursuit Of personal qualifications
al the expense Of the taxpayers of
the country. With such examples
i. is no wonder that veHality and
corruption have crept into almost
every department of the govern
nent.

Pennsylvania Treasury Nnn-
ipulaiion.

The brief summary Of some OF
the facts developed by the com
mittee of the Pennsylvania House
Of Representatives to investigate
the affairs of the State Treasury
shows of what immense importance
the question Of administrative re-
form is to the people of PeDnsyl-
vania. The direct statement is
made that from 1864 to 1874 there
appears TO be yearly overcharge
on the interest account of the pub
lie debt, different Treasurers talk
ing credit for payi;--to more interest
than the State debt bore, an that
the grand aggregate thus unlaw-
fully taken from the State treasury
in eleven years would amount to
the sum of slips, 301, an average
of over 100000 per annum. The
Treasures, it seems, had many
ways of turning the State money
to good account for themselves.
One Of these, particularly mention
ed by the committee, was the prac-
tice of charging an excess of pre-
MUM in purchases of gold to pay
interest on the gold-bearing bonds.
The committee states that this ex-
cess from 1870 TO 1874 amounted
TO sl2l ,427-a nice plum for the !
ring. II Is not at all wonderful, in |
view Of these damaging disclosures, I
that the ring should have so per-
sistently opposed any investiga- 4
ton into the condition Of the treas
uTy, and that State Treasures I
should find il advisable to decline
to obey the summons Of the COM
mittee to appear and testify. The
treasury has been reeking with /.
fraud, and the people heavily bur-
dened that riDgites might enrich
themselves by a manipulation of
the public moneys. Pennsylvania
needs at present above all things
else thorough official accountability.
1t needs an administration with
clean bands, which will not be
controlled by rings, and which will +
take energetic measures to secure,
if possible, the restoration of some
of the moneys of which the State
has been defranded and the pun
ishment of the plunderers. 1t needs
the sterling honesty Of Pershing
and Plolett.-Free Press.

The Buffalo Courier has compiled
some figures 10 show that only
297 900 new citizens have been ad-
ded 10 the country during the past
year By emigration. taking no ac-
count Of the number who have
gone home. This IS less than half
the annual arrival, two years ago.
The countries from which we re-
ceive rank n the following order:
Germany 1859, England 49,140,
Ireland 81, 957. Canada 25.000,
China l6,437. France s,33I, Russia
7,9S2. Ireland is the only country
that sends rs more females than
males, and the importation Of i'm
proper women from China would
seem to have greatly subsidized, If
We are to suppose that the number
Of women Of that nationality is
properly reported at $50. The
corners from Russia are probably
the Mennonites, and $50 are credit
ed to Iceland, OF those who have
an occupation, 2,426 belong to the
professions, and 33,sO0 TO the skill
ed occupations. There 500 music

One thing is pretty well settled,
and that Is that the American pep
PIE do not want unlimited quanti-
ties Of unredeemable paper money.
They prefer the honest redemption
o. the Government promises, and
mean to have real money for the
laborer as well as for the bond
holder.

The people are not always CRATE
ful. A fine illustration of their
gratitude for honest, earnest SER
vice in their behalf is now being in
New York State, where the cry of
"Tilden and Reform" has reused
the people TO an extraordinary
pitch Of enthusiasm. Reports from
all sections of the State are 10 the
effect that many Republicans will
not permit themselves to be used
to place Instructions in the way of
the Governor. They know that
Governor Tilden has gone steadily
forward in the prosecution of re-
form measures, not allowing any
thing TO turn him from his purpose.
Under his administration a great
reduction has been effected in
taxation, and what has been done
is only an earnest OF what is to
come. The people have had the
true condition Of their canals
spread before them, and men ac-
cused Of plundering the treasury
have been arranged before the bar
Of justice. The thorough work
