WE have been reading the detailed
accounts of charges, countercharges,
interviews, etc, appearing in the San
Francisco papers on the part of reve-
nue. and Custom House officials, and
there is only one conclusion about
the matter thus far: that more silly
lot of stuff, altogether, never emanat-
ed from a set of officers calling them
selves men, and, whether criminally
guilty or not they ought all be
kicked out OF place on general prin-
ciples, and their positions filed with
Democrats. or Cinnamon, Anything
In Gods name for u rest from this
dreary twaddle.2 Government is big
and strong enough to stand more or
less jay -hawking, but the people can
not always endure the clashing Of
tongues Of q lot of sneaking scrubs
or jibbering idiots. The wrangle
over the Fedora. spoils in San Fran
cisco does not rise to the dignity of
children playing shookey."

1t is becoming tacitly received
doctrine that the rich should not us
in bygone times, spend their lives in
personal qualification, but should de-
vote them to the general welfare.
Year by year is the improvement OF
the people occupying a larger share
of the attention of the upper classes.
Year by year are they voluntarily de-
voting more and more energy to fur
thering the material and mental pro-
oress of the masses. And those
among them who do not join in the
discharge of these high functions are
= beginning to be looked upon with
more or less contempt by their own
order Herbert Spencer. .....f q

The Lost FOnnd.

1t will be remembered that one
day last week a dispatch from
Chicago expressed fears for the
safety of General Crook and COM
mand. The TIMES remarked that
sit was a way" Of the General to
cut loose from all communication
for weeks, but generally turning up
with an agreeable surprise for every
body. so in this case, it turned
out as expected. On Saturday
evening concise but comprehen-'
sive report was forthcoming. dated
at Fort Reno, in which the General
sets forth the results of his raid
chiefly the destruction OF large
amount of Indian provisions and
war materials, and the establishing
of the fact that the Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail agencies were the rem
devious for hostile Indians. 1t is
ever q part of General Crooks plans
to sift out the good from the bad
Indians; to lay bare the trickery OF
the cunning saEages. and establish
perfectly clear relations all ronnd.
In actual war, the secret of Crooks
success is in managing SO as to
make one portion of the enemy
fight the other. This soon de-
stroys all confidence among the
hostiles, and complete victory and
submission are easy and natural
enough. Crook panders to the
selfish, hnman nature of the Indian,
who readily falls into the trap, and
before he is aware of the true OBJ
Iject Of the policy. finds himself 1.-THE
Indisn) slaughtering his own peo-
pie right and left. Besides it elates
the savage mind to be INDUCED In
good clothes, food, horses, weapons,
etc. This plan has never been
fairly tried with the hostile Indians
east Of the Rocky Mountains. 1t

suits. r1 . .a..ls

IL ''the Fryer process"will accom-
plish what is claimed for it, the
troubles of deprecated silver are
merely in their infancy. Silver is
destined to Fbecome such glut that
a child born with silver spoon in
its mouth will confer lasting disgrace
upon its progenitors and posterity.
Senator Jones' baby had better never
been born. The Chinese "curse"
will prove a blessing in comparison
with the havoc Fryer threatens the
silver interest. A dispatch from
San Francisco conveys the impress
sion that Fryer & Co. propose at
once to get up the requisite machi-
merry for putting the process" into
the hands of every one who may be
laundering after it. We have all
along patted Fryer on the back, but
when we come to look the possible
consequences seriously in the face, a
trade dollar appears of less value
than short bit two days ago. In
short, that dispatch alarms us; an
other one would be worse than bank,

An Enterprising Clerk.


SAN Francisco, March 26.-Chas.
H. Barth, Transportation CLERK IN
| the Quartermaster's Department OF
the United States army, was arrested
few days ago for having forged or
ders on the Government. He had
control of large sums OF Govern
ment money while at headquarters,
and had opportunities to forge docu-
ments for the drawing of money.
He made the best of the opportuni-
ties presented, by forging and EN-
bezzlement, defrauding Government
out of sums Of money estimated at
from sixty to seventy thousand dollars.
Last Thursday he was placed under
arrest, and charged with the commits
sion of fraud. At first he denied the
charges, but subsequently admitted
the charge and made restitution OF
greater portion Of tile mbney. He
was ordered taken to Alcatraz, but
asserting serioas Illness caused by the
severe shock to his nervous system,
he was given permission to remain In
his house on Jackson stree. few days
in charge of corporal and private,
Orders were issued for his transfer
to Alcatraz. Before going he asked
permission to take o bath, and while
a sentry stood at the door, he es-
capped through window, and has
not vet been retaken. Barth is we'll
known in this city, and was apromi-
nent member of several societies,
about thirty-seven years OF age,
rather slim, full, grayish whls-
kers and moustache. He was for
eight years sergeant-major OF the
Ninth Infantry, and during the late
war served as captain. He was also
an officer on the staff of General
Thompson. -
The Anti-Chinese Movement.
A citizens committee of twenty,
appointed by the Board OF Super
visors to take action on the Chinese
question, met last evening and de-
cided to call a great mass meeting
for next Saturday evening at Union
Hall. There will be stands for street
speaking. GovernorIrwin has been
invited, and will probably attend.
The State Grange has notified the
committee of its intention to coop
crate with the meeting. 1t is also
proposed to adopt an address to ex-
press the public sentiment on the
subject by passing suitable resolu-
tons to be forwarded to the commit
tee. The committee propose tohave
the proceedings of the mass meet
ing printed in pamphlet form for
distribution throughout the United

and that he had better leave. He
then turned around in demonstra-
tive manner and called us a set OF
"sons of bitches" whereupoh myself,
the nurse, A. L. Slower and Mr..
Robe, took hold of him and put him
out of the Hospital without using
any undue violence. There were no
blows used. Mr.. Snow then stood In
front of the building for the period
of ten minutes; and used very abus-
i've language, among which he said
that being grand juror he would
have us all kicked out of the Hospi-
tai. In all my interviews with Mr..
Snow on that day | am positive that
1 used no ungentlemanly language
to Mr.. Snow. Mr.. Jeffries, the pa
tient above-named, was admitted to
the hospital January s, 1875. He
was upon crutches fourteen days at
ter his admission, and had had no
set-backs or reverses of any kind;
that he was going from room to
room playing cards. Mr.. Jeffries
went on duty about the third Of Feb
ruary, 1875; all the services required
of him was to occupy a separate bed
in room with patient for the Pc
riod of three hours; this was done
under the instructions of the County
Physician. We examined his leg
after he had fallen, and claimed that
he had injured his leg, and found
that his leg was nninjured.

thing, and that he was of the county

ties of him that he might perform
the same as of other patients.

we did not perform. ! then told
