UNEARTHING FRAUDS.

Investigation by Congressional com
mittees at Washington shows how the
Government has been defrauded in
almost every department, The inter
ests of the country have been made n
secondary consideration. subservient to
party, by the principal officials in
Grants administration. The Commit
tee on Post-office expenditures have
examined George w. McLane, who
held the position of frst-class clerk in
the Post-office Department. He swore
that leave of absense was given him,
and his expenses paid from the public
money, to 90 to Connecticut to make
speeches for the Republican party.
Mr.. McLane, of course, denounced the
South, and held the bloody shirt aloft
while stumping the Nutmeg State, part
lv at the expense of the section against
which he endeavored to revive war pre-
JUDGES. 1t is so truly patriotic for
speaker, whose salary and expenses are
paid by the whole country, to deliver
partisan and sectarian speeches, that
the Post Master General, under whose
Instructions McLane acted, ought to be
an eligible candidate for the Presidency.
Again, in the Pension Bureau some
startling frauds have been discovered.
Millions, of the money appropriated
annually for the MANNED and decrepid
soldiers and sailors, is not accounted
for, unless the supposition that it has
been applied by the officials of the
Bureau for personal and partisan pur-
poses is enough to satisfy the people.
The Committee thinks that ffty-eight
pension agents, whose aggregate
salaries amount to $500, 900 year,
can be dispensed with by transferring
the Bureau to the War Department.
Under the present management 420
clerks are employed, while in 1866 only
rs were employed, when at least four
times the present business was trans
acted.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

The House of Representative is do
ing good work in the way of retrench-
ment. They lop off unnecessary ex-
penses in many departments, reduce
salaries. and consolidate offices great
ly to the disgust of Office holders who
have been fattening at the public crib.
The idea prevailed at Was, ington tina.
because the Republican party was in
power during the war, it had gen.
eral license to continue bleeding the
public treasury forever. This theory
is not accepted by the present House
of Representatives, hence the effort to
reduce expenses. The Appropriation
Committee, among other bills for re-
trenchment. has agreed to report one
for the consolidation of internal rev.
enue districts, which they propose to
reduce from III, to los. The ten SUI
pervisors are to be dispensed with and
the number of special agents increased.
This will reduce the expenses about
$1,000 annually.
