Chicago Tribune; One of the heaviest
blows sustained by Gen. Babcock among
all that have fallen upon him since his
fortunes began to wane was that inflicted
by the Senate Friday in the passage
of bill for the improvement of the Capitol
grounds with provision that none of
the money thus appropriated shall pass
through the hands of Gen. Babcock as
Commissioner of Public Buildings and
grounds. The Democratic House had
already expressed in a similar manner
its lack of confidence, and this action of
the Republican Senate is peculiarly
significant.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer evidently has
Thurman on the brain. The united Re-
publican papers of the State have not ex-
hibited against Senator Thurman, during
the years he has been the acknowledged
head ofthe Democratic party in the u.
S. Senate, as much malice and bitterness
as this Enquirer is doing. The rulers of
that concern are evidently alarmed that
the Democratic people of Senator Thur
mans State, and probably of the Union,
may call upon him to be their standard
bearer for the Presidential campaign
This undoubtedly accounts for the con-
tinual assaults of that sheet.

SAMOAN, or Navigators' Islands, are
group of nine inhabited islands in the
south Pacific, lying between l3 deg and
Is deg. south latitude, about 400 miles N
Z. of the Feejees. They have an area OF
l,l25 square miles, and in 1869 had a
population of 35, 107. On each island are
extinct volcanoes showing their origin.
In 1867, for some two weeks, between
two of the islands submarine volcano
burst out, and shot up mud and dense
columns of sand and stone to a height OF
1000 feet. 1t left no permanent promi-
nence. The natives are all converted to
Christianity, mostly Independent and
Presbyterian, with some Wesleyans and
Roman Catholics. The island Tutuila
has fine and safe harbor Pango, and be-
ing on the direct route between America
and Australia, isimportant. The climate
is equabe and delightful, and the islands
very fertile in tropical fruits and prodnc-
tions. The exports are mostly copprd
or the dried meat of the cocoanut. Most
of the trade is controlled by Goddefroy
& Co., of Hamburg, Germany, where
most of the exports go, In 1872 Com
Meade, of the U. S. Navy, visited the
group, and by arrangement with the ma
tive chief, took the harbor Pango under
the protection of the United States. In
1878 a special agent was sent by President
Grant to the islands. In 1875 native
King was chosen, and Steinberger was
made prime minister 1t comes out

WHAT CAN BE PROVED IN LESS
THAN A WEEK.
From the Nev Orleans Democrat

From the NeW Orleans Democrat
We trust our delegation in Congress will
exert their combined influence to have a
thorough investigation of the Federal
officers in this city. What we want more
than anything else just nowis Congress
sional committee to investigate the New
Orleans Custom House; to let in little
light into the dark recesses of
that den of thieves. We confidently as
sert that such committee will find in S.
B. Packard, James F, Casey, and ]. P.
Beckwith three as unmitigated scound-
rels as Babcock, Belknap, and Robson.
There has been just as much stealing in
cotton and sugar as there has been in
whiskey, aye, and more too, and if in
quiry is pushed into these, there will be
shaking among the Custom House
officials named above. Then the pros
titution of their Offices by the Marshal
and District Attorney for party purposes;
villainous jobs put up by them against
the whites in the parishes, in orderto use
troops against them; compounding with
the thief c. w. Lowell; manufacturing
of false afidavits, and these are not one,
half Of what we guarantee will be proved
in less than week against these worthless
here.

0RvILLE E. BABcoCK, General by bre-
vet late Military Secretary of the Presi-
dent of the United States, Superinten-
dent of Public Buildings in Washington,
and Member of the Washington Ring,
has again found that the way of the
transgressor is hard. On Saturday last
the Grand Jury of the District, indicted
him for participation in the safe burglary
conspiracy, by which it was intended to
ruin and blast the reputation of Colum-
bus Alexander, who was opposed to the
robberies of a Ring in the nations capi-
tal
The scheme was to blast the reputa-
ton of Alexander, by having it appear
that he was the guilty man who broke
open the safe and stole therefrom valua-
BILE papers. 1t may be remembered that
when Harrington, one of the burglars,
was on trial, President Grants Secretary,
Babcock, and company, packed the jury
and secured the acquittal. The jury disa,
greed and the case was nolled, contrary
to all law and right. At the time of the
trial President Grant gave a party, and
ihe prisoner was the lion Of the occasion.
This was done to influence the jury
Truly, the revelations at Washington are
startling good to citizens ofall parties and
causing alarm for the welfare of the coun.
try and the preservation of civil liberty
The government itself seems to have
been for years in the hands of criminals
Let the people at the polls give to organ
lied corruption its fatal blow. The Grant
dynasty must be driven from power and
the country saved.-EG.

THURMAN must be gaining ground in
Ohio, as the Enquirer has retired from
squibs, and commenced columns of edi-
torial against him. 1t intimates the st.

sumo, Thurman or Tilden, and desires

ALLEN G. THURMAN seems now to be
the most likely Democratic candidate in
the field for the Presidential nomination.
While some of Mr.. Thurman's views, as
we understand him, does not accord with
our own, yet we believe him TO be our
strongest man at the present time, and if
nominated, we trust the party will give
him its united support. He can be elect
ed over any candidate the Republicans
can put in the ield.-Alli0nce Leader.

Is it not singular that Grant never dis
covered, until long after the general pub
lie, that he was surrounded by gang of
corrupt plunderers There is but one
way of explaining it, and that is not
pleasant to a good citizen who wishes to
honor authority and think no evil.

Washington, April I4,-The resolution

what steps have been taken by the De-
partment OF Justice toward prosecuting
the suits against the Union Pacific Rail
road Company and the Credit Mobilier
Company, under an act Of March 8, 1873,

General. Mr.. Hoar says that the case
which is pending in the Supreme Court,
on appeal from the United States Circuit
Court will be reached in short time,
and he understands that the Attorney
General has made no preparation for its
argument. Mr.. Hoar proposes to have
the war against the Credit Mobilier Ring,
which robbed the Government in the
building of the Union Pacific Railroad,
pressed vigorously, and, if possible, have
the charter of the Railroad Company
repealed, on account of the hagrant vio-
lations thereof

Coins will not be remitted to individuals

SENATOR STEVENSON AND MR., PEN
DLETON.

Senator Stevenson was before ike ely.
mer Investigating Committee on the 18th
testifying in relation to the affairs of the
Kentucky Railroad and Mr.. Pendleton's
connection herewith.
Senator Stevenson testified in regard
to the Kentucky Railroad that it VAS
partnership concern composed of seven
members of Board of Control, all of
whom were officers. Each member had
one vote regardless ofthe amount of in
terest. Death did not create vacancy in
the Board until the number was recured
to five. The Bowler estate was not rep.
resented in the Board after his death.
Pendleton could not have represented
the Bowler interest there because Mr..
Baldwin had no exclusive control over
the estate.
