THE RELIEF or JOHN HAND.

The principal part of the fifth Report Of the
Governors Canal Commission relates to the
Buffalo dredging contracts which have already
been described in The TRIBUNE, and have led
to various indictments and arrests for conspir-
acy and bribery. Our readers know the out
lines of the stOry-hOw George ID. Lord con-
spired with Bennett, Davis, Belm, Bowman,
and probably several others, to get from the
Legislature a large award for the "reef" of
contractor already well paid for his work /;
how the contractor QIand) never imagined
that he needed relief till Lord put it into his
head how the scheme worked so well
that the cOnspirators made second
raid for "relief" on the same contract /;
how Hand never got a cent OF the money
and how-tO crown the iniquity-Lord himself
was bound by existing contracts to do the
very work for which he induced the State to
pay Hand three times over. This is already
familiar tale But the Report which we print
this morning sets 1t forth with an abundance
of interesting detail and pertinent suggestion.
The net result of the series Of operations in
connection with these Buffalo contracts, by
which George d. Lord as a member of the
Legislature succeeded in obtaining fraudulent
N~NA''
contractor may be briefly stated as follows
He was paid $44, 400 year under repair
contract to keep a certain section of the canal
dredged to a specified depth, and he got from
the treasury an additional sum of $185,OOO,
every dollar of it by fraud.
We shall have no difficulty in understanding
how these affairs were managed after we have
read the Report. Here we see contractors
keeping State officials in their pay, and engi-
neers in partnership with the contractors whose
work and charges it was their duty to super
wise. Assistant Engineer afterwards Division
Engineer) Behn was partner of Benefits in
the ownership of a dredge which seems to
have been much more useful in scoOping money
out of the State Treasury than in taking mud
out of the canal. When Canal Commissioners
Barkley, Stroud, and Jackson met at Buffalo
to Examine the claims for the "reef of
"JOhn Hand" Thaddeus C.. Davis, who acted
as counsel for the State, seems to have
been also retained in the interest of the
other side.-an arrangement which certainly

. THE TWO RACES IN PHILADELPHIA.

. THE TWO RACES IN PHILADELPHIA.
A remarkable story comes to us from Phrfa-
delphia, behind which we hope there is some
explanation yet to be given. In April last a
respectable colOred woman purchased Of the
Mount Moriah Cemetery q lot, receiving deed
therefor, and the assurance that the ground
was free to persons of color as to whites. Her
sister was subsequently buried in this lot with
out objection on the part of the Association.
Last week the husband of the owner of the
lot died: q man of means and respected not
only by the better classes OF his own color,
but by large circle of white citizens with
whom he had transacted business. His remains
were refused burial on account of his color,
and the agents of the cemetery would not even
allow the body to be placed temporarily in
vault until means should be taken to bury Ii
elsewhere.
Ii seems incredible that so fragrant an out
rage of all decent or humane feeling should
occur in a city which has been for years the
stron ghold of anti-Slavery feeling, and where
the free cOlOred class have reached hight OF
culture and refinement unknown elsewhere.
Even in the far South, in the days when the
slave-pen was reality and it was illegal to
teach black man to read, the feeling of per-
sonal attachment and kindness was strong be-
tween the races. The white child lay on the
breast of its black foster mother, played
with her children, and as on adult nursed
them and was nursed by them in time OF
sickness; and it was no unusual matter to
find some faithful slave buried in the farm
graveyard beside the master or mistress.
Ideas such as are nourished by this very ex-
elusive burying association are in advance of
the EXTREMIST bigotry of either North or South.
The Philadelphia press is unanimous in con-
demning the outrage, and, as might be ex-
pccted, it has caused, as does every extreme
measure, strong reaction in favor of the in
jured class, whom it was meant to humiliate
and degrade,

lfP RITTER SAD


Mr.. BENJAMIN +. Butler appears in n new
role. He is sad. He was not wont to be sad.
In the times when contracts were abroad, and
there were Jaynes and Sanborns i'll the land,
and the Govemorship of Massachusetts,
was in the market, and the Custom
house waited for Simmons, and there
WAS q Congress that didn't know who
led it, and all Massachusetts could be put
into q cold sweat by roar from the Essex Dis
trict, there WAS no man merrier than he. lie was
always in the highest spirits and the
best of humOr But times have changed.
He is not so conspicuous as formerly.
There's prejGdce against farming out the
revenue, and against the sort OF contracts
that used to be made, and against a great
many things that Dir. Butler used to de-
light in: and moreover he is out of Congress,
and has lost his night-key to the White
House, and Massachusetts, has quite recov-
cred from the fear of him. And 80 Mr..
Butler is sad. Why shoald MT he beY The
thing. that specially saddens him is the
condition of affairs at Fall River, where the
workmen in the mills having been on 4 strike
have abandoned the field and resumed
work. Apropos of which he writes to
the Secretary of the Legal-tender Club
of this city. (" / read in the Associated Press
"dispatches the saddest sentence that
"has ever come to my eyes. Speak
"ing of the Fall River trouble, a man
"ufacturer said, The courage is all taken out
90 of them (the workmen); they will submit
"to anything to get work." And then he
adds: "What shall we say of the reduction of
"men into slaves by this system of cOntrac-
"tion ?r and in a vein of unusual piety lifts
his hands to Heaven with the inquiry, Glow

Mr. Butler in condition of sadness is
of itself spectacle of thrilling interest. Mr..
Butler in a prayerful mood excites curiosity
and arouses inquiry. He is depressed
if we catch his meaning through
his despondent yet devotional utter
ances-by the fact that the Fall River
operatives have felt obliged to accept
wages at what their employers consider
the market rate instead of what they
themselves believe to be fair and just. AS the
mill owners were able to hire help at the
wages they offered and as the striking Op-
eratives, finding that there were plenty of
workmen out of employment to take their
places, decided of their own free will TO take
such wages, we presume Mr. Butler does not
blame the capitalists who, IN order TO
get fair return for their investment, hired

labor where they could get it cheapest. Dir.
Butler Is % capitalist himself, and we
doubt not invests his money where it
will bring the largest returns. IL he has
work to be done ho probably hires OF
two men who arc equally capable
the one who will do it cheapest And
we have no idea that no contemplates with
sadness the man who demanded 81 80 for tho
work which plenty of other men would be glad to
do for 81. Mr.. Buffers sadness, we take it,
grows out of what he calls " this system of
contraction to which he attributes the re-
"duction of men into slaves" Mr..
Butler ought to know, and doubtless
by this time does know, that the
depression in business which has COM
PEELED reduction of wages is
not duo to any "system of contraction"
or any contraction whatever except in
public confidence. But suppose it were true.
What is Mr. Buffers specific Let us look at
it briefly
With currency expanded vastly be-
yond the demands of legitimate business,
tho country at the close of the
war entered upon an era of speculation
of the widest sort. Prices went up
and up according to an unvarying
law of trade-wages with the rest-till
the inevitable crash came, the bottom
fell out, and all business was pretty
nearly at a stand-sti, waiting for
revival of confidence which could only come
by giving stability to the currency. In this
lull and waiting time, prices had
to come down, wages with the rest.
The country was sick-in pain; it
was and is paying the penalty of
years of speculation and extravaganza
growing largely out of this vast volume of ire
deemable currency. All trade and industry,
capital and labor alike, are suffering. 1t is one
of tho sad things in life that we
have to look on in such straits, whether
it be nations or individuals that
suffer, and feel that we are helpless except as
we are patient. 1t is sad to think that any
man should be obliged to work for less
than what he considers a fair days
wages sadder to think that in these times
thousands cannot find work at any price, and
saddest of all to think that there arc
dcmagogues who propose to get out of
the slough of imitation by initiating fur
ther; to restore confidence in an ire
deemable currency by issuing more of it.
There is no sadder sight thln a drunkard
recovering from debauch, unless it be a
drunkard who upon tho approach of
consciousness, knowing the penalty of re-
morse and pain that so surely follows his
excesses, resorts again to the bottle to drown
rcmorse and Overwhelm the pain. For the
drunkarG who takes the pain az the legitimate
penalty of his fault, and through abstinence
and sef-rcstraint comes soTOwfully back to
himself made wiser by his experience. there
is hope. For him who undertakes to
dodge the consequences of his indulgence
by renewing his connection with the bottle,
there is nothing but short dellrium of life,
and then the end. Mr.. Butler is saddened
by tho spectacle of nation slowly
and painfully recovering from q financial
debauch. And he recommends brandy on an
empty stomach. Better be sad little while
longer, and have a surer recovery and per-
manent reform.
New-York tribune., 1875-10-06

Not altogether pleasant thoughts to tax
payers are suggested by what was said and
done in the Board of AppOrtiOnment yester-
day. Assessment bonds to the amount of half
a million dollars were authorized to be issued
for the Eleventh-ave. extension, and the Con-
troller stated that $S,0O0,000 more must soon
be issued to meet bonds falling due next
month. Mr.. Green took the opportunity to
explain further his position in regard to costly
up town Improvements. He accepted the re-
sponsbility-about which there has been much
ado-of share in preparing the plan of these
improvements, but he declared that he was
not responsible for their prosecution far in ad-
vance of the city needs, nor for the enormous ex-
penditures lavished on them of late years.
Whatever may be thought of Mr.. Green's part
in getting up the plans, prudent citizens who
are not interested in real estate speculatiOns
will applaud his present attitude in regard to
these improvements, and give him their sup
port in his vigorous and tireless resistance to
excessive outlay on them.

The dispatches from Mississippi by the
roundabout way of Arkansas and Tennessee
indicate critical situation in the village of
Friar's Point, where the negro sheriff, who is
a candidate for reelection, proposes military
proceedings on his own account. The fact
that Senator Alcom, thorough Republican,
has seen fit to denOunce this sheriff, shows
that the opposition to his reelection is
not confined to the Democrats. If this fellow
brings on bloodshed by his importation and
distribution of ammunition, and by his incen-
diary speeches, he will only be carrying out
the letter and spirit of the incorporate advice
which Mr.. Frederick Douglass gave to the
negroes of Mississippi a few weeks ago on re-
ceiving an untrlthful account of the riot at
Clinton.
