The daily gazette., 1875-12-27

Mr.. George II. Pendlcton does not
think the democracy will have any
difficulty in harmonizing on the cur.
rency question next year. He told a
reporter of the Atlanta Herald, recent
ly, that "ninetenths of the people of
Ohio, want to see return to a specie
basis, but they want to see the return
gradual and natural" He thinks the
democrats of the east cannot ask more
than this, and submits the following
as a common ground of agreement: "a
plank, recognizing the necessity of a
return to a fixed specie basis, and
promising to lead the country to such
a basis as soon as it can be reached
naturally, and without dong violence
to the public interests, would i believe,
be all that would be needed on that
subject in q platform that would COM
mend the support of the democrats OF
all sections"

The Work Before the House.

LIT THE EXAMINATION COMMENCE
The whole country is looking to the
Democratic House of Representatives to
commence the work of examination OF
the several Departments of Govern
ment. There should be no time lost be-
fore this is commenced. The Journal 81
Commerce proposes to recover from some
Of the thieves who have never been
prosecuted for part of their stealings.
1t says:
There are some things that should
BE overhauled rs seon as possible, be-
eause of their exceptional Importance.
Two OF them are new matters. One Is
the neglect of the Comptrollers of the
Treasury to make annual reports of the
arrears of accounts of public officers
who failed to settle with the Treasury
for period of three years, with state
ment of the causes that have prevented
settlements. Those reports are required
by Law, but have been withheld since
1865. Senator Davis, at the opening OF
the session, offered resolution respect
fully asking for the delayed information,
but the Republican majority referred it
to committee instead of adopting it at
once. AS similar resolutions have been
twice before entombed by like reference
Il is probable that this one will never see
the light again. The amount due from
dehnque 1t officials is supposed to be
enormous, and no thorough effort, so far
as we know, has been made to collect it
Every days delay renders the recovery
of what Is owing more difficult. There.
fore no time should be lost in getting al
the bottom facts of these unadjusted ac
counts, and If the Senate shirks It's duty
the House should assume the trouble Of
an investigation. The blaze of sunlight
should also be turned upon that very
dark affair-the recent costly and alarm
ing hurry Of preparation at all the navy
yards. There are secrets in this which
the Presidents friends will never dis
close except on compulsion, and tn,
House must undertake to elicit the trutl
from unwilling lips. So reckless ant
dangerous procedure, without apparen,
cause, deserves to be exposed and indig
nantly rebuked as precedent fraugh
with injury to the peace and business
interests of the country. 1t might b,
well, perhaps, to add to these two in
quiries some investigation into the mat
ter Of printing currency and securitie
at Washington, inasn.hch as there ar
reasons for very grave suspicious tina
the Treasury has suffered in this re
spect, and if the business is not CAREFUL,
watched is liable to suffer still more be
fore the close of this administration
We should be content to let the Whiske.
Ring and the Indian Ring, and all tn
rest, wait while j. the investigation
mentioned were commenced al once an,
vigorously prosecuted"
