VIEWS OF ATTORNEY-GENERAL PIERRE

PROGRESS OF REFORM IN THE DEPARTMENT OF
JusTICE-MR. PIERREPONTs SUPPORT OF Mr..
BLISS IN THE SMUGGLING CASES.
Attorney General PierrepOnt arrived in this
city last evening from Washington his way to Albany
where he goes attend the Court Of Appeals In con-
versatlon with q TRIBUNE reporter, he stated that
the work of overhauling the Department
was progressing satisfactorily, II one takes
into consideration the amount Of work to be done and
the territory which 1t extends. lone OF the most
serious difficulties" he said is that experienced In get
ting trustworthy information regarding the men who
hold office in faro districts especially the
greater portion Of Southwest. great deal OF time
ia consumed in corresponding with these distant
points, but still greater difficulty is found in breaking
up the cqIes that exist many places the members Of
which operate principally by furnishing the Department
with false information regarding either those now In
office or the appontees, as 1t may happen to suit
their interests For instance false charges will be made
against certain officials for the sole purpose Of having
them removed and the friends Of the nformans substi
tuted
"The bills for the payment Of all the judges marshas,
witnesses etc. of the different districts pass through my
Department." continued Mr.. Perrepont, but OF this
was not aware until after my appointment AS an Illus
traton Of how the business has been managed In the
past may mention that the bills for the fees Of wit
nesses in one of the Southwestern districts
recently received at the Department amounted
to about $4,000 in twelve days time.
As fast as trustworthy information cap be obtained de-
handing changes they will be made. Already marked
improvement the expense account Of some branches
of. the Department lie noticeable The order recently
issued regarding pardons has very greatly diminished
the applications for them. I should be glad
to describe In detail some OF the work
now in progress, showing also to what
