cago, who borrowed 100000 few
months ago, on one note, wanted
to pay it, the other day, before ma
tuIity, but was not allowed to dc
so by his bank, which was only too
happy to have the amount in use,
even at low rate, because it does
not see where to use it again at a
profit. This does not look as if there
were scarcity of currency to do
business with, or as if there were
need of further imitation.

Not Douglass, but Grant.

The Buffalo Courier, after giving
condensed account OF the extent
Of the whisky frauds and the man
ner in which they were unearthed,
says:
The facts given in this account,
which are from stanchly Repub-
lican source, tend to relieve Com
missioner Douglass, to some extent
at least, from his apparent respon-
sibility for the stupendous system
of frauds that had grown up in his
department but they do so by
lying that responsibility at the
door of higher public servant,
the President of the United States.
IL appears that when the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue issued
orders, early last winter, making a
general transfer of supervisors and
special agents-Eastern officials to
the West and Western officials to
the East-it was on account of a
suspicion of collisions by which
frauds were being covered up. But
those officials who had reason to
fear the consequences of such
shifting brought influence to bear
upon the President which overcame
Commissioner and the Secretary of
the Treasury, and the order of the
former was countermanded from
the White House. When the head
of department or of bureau is
so interfered with, by the arbitrary
exercise of the Presidents author
ity, it is impossible to hold him
fully accountable for the working
of affairs in his branch of the adj
ministration. The President then
takes upon himself, not nominally
but really-not as a constituted
fiction, but as q fact-the whole
responsibility for wrong doing and
inefficiency in the government.
Unless he is greatly belied by re-
port, that kind of interference has
been constant under the admins
tration of President Grant, and the
swindlers of the whisky ring are
not the only swindlers who have
successfully appealed to the White
House against department minis
tiers and bureau officials.

Col. John p. Hatch, command
ing at Fort Sill, Indian territory,
has made a report to thu assistant
adjutant general of the department
Of Missouri, showing gross mis-
management on the part Of the
agents of the government in the
treatment of the Indians at Fort
Sill and Wachita agencies. The
supplies are not only inadequate to
the support of the Indians, but are
reported as actually unfit for hu-
man beings to eat. Gen. Pope for
wards the report to the war de-
partment, with the warning that
it is idle to expect the Indians will
remain peaceably upon their re-
servations with the prospect of
starving by SO doing, and that so
long as this gross maladministra-
ton Of affairs with the Indians ex-
lists, the military authorities can
not and will not consent to be
held accountable for any outbreak
that may occur. 1t does not ap-
pear that supplies were not fur
pished, but they doubtless are dis
posed of to other parties and the
proceeds pnt into the pockets Of
the rascally agents. The country
cannot expect peace with the In
dams so long as the agents of the
government break faith with and
deliberately swindle them. The
whole system Of managing the In
dian affairs as at present admins
tered Is a palpable fraud, and so
long as IL Is maintained armies will
be necessary to restrain the savages
and protect the frontier from ex-
periencing all the horrors Of an
Indian war Courier.

recover anything. The court has

The Loss Of the Schiller.

The loss of this vessel, the par
ticulars of which are now filling
the columns of the daily press, and
carrying sorrow to many hearts in
this broad land, eclipses in horror
any of the ocean disasters that have
occurred for many months. As
stated the Schiller sailed from New
York on the 28th of April, nothing
happening to detain the progress
Of the good ship until May 4th,
when heavy weather set in, accom-
panied by a dense fog which pre-
vented the taking of observations
to determine the position of the
ship. The captain, it is said, adopt
ed all the usual precautions, and
for four days and nights stood
manfully at his post on the deck
of his ship. The vessel, it is said,
was only half mile out of her
course when the catastrophe occur
ed. A dense fog prevailed, the
darkness was intense, a violent sea
rolled its angry pillows mountain
high, and at 10 o'clock the ill-fated
ship struck the ledge. Some idea
of the state of the weather may be
gathered from the fact that Bish-
ops light was not visible from the
steamer, although only half a mile
from the scene of the disaster. A
scene of the widest confusion en-
sued after the ship struck
There was a hurrying to and fro,
the waves sweeping the deck, and
with almost every roll carrying in
to the watery depths human souls.
The name Of Dwight Klinck does
not appear among the list of the
saved, and there is probably no
doubt that he numbers one among
the 311 victims of this awful dis
aster. Mr.. Klink was secretary of
the Chicago, Saginaw & Canada
and was in this city the
week he sailed from New York.
He was well known here, was a
young man of fine abilities and his
sad fate in the prime of life is de-
plored. He was on his way to
Europe for the purpose of negotia-
ting loan for the company.
The Scilly Islands, the scene of
this disaster, consist Of one hun
dred and thirty islets and rocks,
having an aggregate area Of nine
square miles. They are situated
about thirty miles west south west
Of Lands End, England, off the
south west coast Of Cornwall
They rise abruptly from the deep
sea, and on that account are more
dangerous, as the depth of water
deceived the officers OF the Schiller,
who we're confident they were not
much out of their course. Numer-
,us shipprecks have occurred on
,hese rocks. The Schiller, belong
ID to the Eagle line running be-
ween New York and Hamburg,
md was one Of the strongest and
BEST ships in the trans-continental

The sole survivor Of Equinox Picked up n cr
FIontinR for ThirIy-one Hours.

CHICAGO, Sept. H.-Reubcn Burr, who is
supposed to be the sole survivor Of the wreck
Of the propeller Equinox, which foundered OF
Point au Sable. Lake Michigan, on the morning
Of the 10th inst, reached this city yesterday
afternoon by the schooner Haven, Capt. Ross,
having been picked up by that vessel after 8oat-
ing thrty.on hours on the pilot house Of the
wrecked steamer. Burr was a helmsmaD. He
was picked up eighty miles south-southwest Of
Manitou Island on Saturday last. He said the
sea was very rough during all the night preced-
ing the catastrophe, and the vessel sprung a
leak while he was at the wheel. At l o'clock on
Friday morning AN inspection OF the vessel dis
closed that the after buwarks were stove in.
Burr and the mate attempted to stop the leak,
but their efforts were frutless, and IL was de-
cided to lower the boats. At this time the
schooner in tow Cthe Emma T. Mayesj was hailed
and asked TO come alongside, but either the
persons on board did not hear the request, or
the vessel was unmanageaDle. AT all events the
schoouer did not respond. Signals were made
and lights displayed, but without avail. A boat
was then lowered from the port side of the pro
peller. and the mate, the owner, a watchman,
i've deck hands, an engineer, and two nremen
got into IL, when the ship went down almost i'm
mediately. Burr swan for a long distance side
by side with the capt IN, and they finally reach
a spar. but aiterward got separated. subse-
occupied that with the second cook. but the
latter after nearly days drifting became ex-
hausted then UNCONSCIOUS, and slipped OF.
Burr was picked up 10y the Haven IN very ex-
hauste condition on saturday morning. but he
Is now feeling quite comfortable.

that at one o'clock on Friday morning waves
began breaking over the Mendoza, and she part

o'clock, when the other barge wus thrown OF.
Soon htterward the boats were lowered, and the
CAPTAIN, his son, the hrst mate, and some OF the
crew climbed into the larger boat. The smaller
one was taken by some of the crew. who almost
Immediately pulled away Tue father and wife
OF the Captain were left. The father was seventy
years Of age. and tried 10 reach the boat When
last seen, the steward stood with his wife, and
went down with her The story Is related also
by another Of the crew. who speaks In terms of
Ieaise OF the conduct OF the Captain and officers.
The Mendoza was eighteen years old and WIS
owned 10y VIM. Crossthwaite Of Buffalo. His son
perished on the boat. She carried large cargo

was insured, but the vessel was not. II Is feared

had six board.
