NEW REVELATIONS,
HOW MONEY HAS BEEN MADE
ON THE FRONTIER.
A Million Dollars for the Benefit Of
Favored Postal Contractors-The
Frauds in the Rations Giving the
Winnebago Indians.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Col. Fish, ed
itor of Republican newspaper in He
lena, Montana, was before the House
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads, and told startling story OF The
waste of Government money for the bene-
fit of favored contractors He said that
the continuance of the route between
Walla Walla and Masovia in Montana had
been protested against since its establish
ment by Postmaster-General Creswell
in 1869. 1t was through country but
sparsely settled, and the official records
showed that to send letter over this
route cost between seven and eight hum
dred dollars. Influential citizens of the
Territory, Federal officials of well known
standing, came to Washington to see why
growing and more important parts of the
Territory, especially in the neighboorhood
of the mining regions, could not be ac-
commodated. They were told 1t was be-
cause it cost so much for the Walla Walla
route-about $4,000 a year for services
which did not actually cost the contract
ors $4,000. On their representations the
contract was rescinded, but only discon-
tinued about two months, and when an
explanation was asked for renewing the
route they were told that formidable
petition had been sent to the department
urging it. An examination lof the peti-
ton showed that it was forgery from
beginning to end, and though of this fact
the Postmaster General was fully ap-
prised yet he never took any notice of it.
The service had cost the Government
we'll on to million dollars for the bene-
fit of no one save the contractors. who
lived in Washington and New York.
C. w. Marsh, an attorney, of st. Paul,
Mimi, testified to-day before the Indian
Committee, that keeper of a restaurant
in st. Paul, Mimi. who fed the Winnie
90 Indians when they were en- route to
Nebraska in charge A. H. Wilder's agents,
came to him to ask his advice about
making out his bill for the rations sup
piled. He said that the men in charge of
the Indians wanted him to make out the
bill for three times the amount furnished,
but they were willing to pay only for ac-
tual rations supplied. Mr. Nash told him
that it WAS not legal question, but a
matter of conscience purely. If he would
ask whether it vas a fraud, ald whether
he was liable to be prosecuted for being
party thereto, he would tell him yes.
The man said he had made out his bill
honestly, but the Government agents had
refused to pay it. The restaurant keeper
is now employed at the Continental hotel
in Philadelphia and has been summoned
to appear and testify before the commit
toe

DIFFERENCES.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

The King can drink the best of wine
So canI
And has enough when he would dine:
SO have l;
And cannot order rain or shine;
Nor can |,
Then where's the difference-let me see
Betwixt my Lord the King and met
Do trusty friends surround his throne
Night and day?
Or make his interest their own?
No. not they.
Mine love me for myself alone:
Bless'd be they.
And that's one difference which see
Betwixt my Lord the King and me-
Do knayes around me lie in wait
To deceive?
Or frown or latter when they hate,
And would grieve2
Or cruel pomps oppress my State
Bymy leave?
MOI Heaven be thanked! And here you see
More difference twixt the King and me.
He has his fools with jests and quips,
When he'd play
He has his armies and his ships;
Great are they;
But not child to kiss his lips
Wel.a-day
And that's the difference sad to see
Betwixtmy Lord the King and me-
Iwear the cap and he the crown
What of that2
sleep on straw and he on down:
What of that2
And he's the King and I'm the clown
What of that?
If happy l, and wretched he,
Perhaps the King would change with me

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.
Attacked by an Administrative Or
gan-Mrs. Jonston's Reply.
From the Baltimore aazette.l

One of the administration organs hav-
ing published a communication charging
the late President Buchanan with being
"a Democratic President Gift-taker," Mrs.
Harriet Lane Johnston, makes the fol-
lowing reply:
Ny attention has this moment been
called to an item in your paper of the
18th instant, which reads as follows
A DEMOCRATIC PREsIDNT GGFT-TAKBR--
To show that President Grant is not the
only chief magistrate who accepted pres
ents, the subjoined letter goes to prove:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 1860.
My DEAR SIR: | have received the case
containg specimens of the birds of Amer
lea, for which you have my thanks. |
hesitated as to whether | would accept
them, having acted on the principlesince
| became President that would not re-
ceive presents of value from any friend.
These would come within my rule but
still shall not return them, but retain
them as a token Of your personal regard.
have 10 doubt that Miss Lane will be
much pleased with them.
Your friend, very respectfully,
Signed JAMES BUCHANAN.
The name OF the person to whom this
was addressed desires that his name be
withheld, but if the genuineness of this
letter is questioned his name will be
given.
The insinuation attempted to be con.
veyed herein is so unjust that I am sure
your sense of propriety will hardly deny
me the opportunity of pronouncing it,
over my own signature in your columns.
Ny uncle, Mr.. Buchanan, has long been
slandered and villifed by both northern
and southern extremists, for no other
reason than that the patriotism impelled
him 10 disregard party ties and personal
friendships in an honest effort to uphold
the constitution and laws of his country
and to avert civil war; but none have
yet dared to insinuate aught against his
personal honor and integrity.
Not only whilst occupying the Presi-
dency, but during long life devoted to
the service of his country, Mr.. Buchan-
ans invariable rule was to decline all
presents. The gift" to which reference
is now made consisted of sic or eight small
stuffed birds in a glass case.
My uncle's first impulse was to apply
in this case the rule which governed him
after entering public life and to return
the offered present, trifing as it was;
but the thing was so utterly valulees, ex.
cept as a token of personal regard" and
good will, that after some hesitation he
decided to retain it rather than wound
the feeling of the person sending it.
Fortunately this gift" as it is now
dignifed, is, or was, when last saw it,
at Wheatland, where it has been kept
out of proper regard for the motive
which prompted the gentleman to send
it to Mr.. Buchanan, and it is to be regret
ted that a similar feeling did not induce
the recipient of Mr.. BuChanan's letter to
hold it sacred, rather than allow tito be
used in this unwarrantable manner.
Yours, very respectfully,
HARRIET LANE JOHNSTON.

WASHINGTON CLIPS.

The co-portnership of Sherman &
Grant, doing busines as bankers in Was
hington, has been dissolved by mutual
consent. This separation is the final
resultof a misunderstanding and
estrangement between the members of
the firm, which began with the publ
cation of General Sherman's book.
The Suns Washington special says
the Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department have discovered that
the Ouartermaster-G office has
been paying Messrs. Calos & Brey for
the use Of a patent for the prevention OF
moths in army clothing Notwithstanding
it proved useless and appropriation or
it was left out of the Army Bill last win
ter. Captain Allegood, who reported
against the patent, was removed, Dom
Piatt and General Rufus Ingalls, are
summoned to appear before the COM
mittee.
Washington, March 24.--The Congress
sional Democratic Committee announce
that it is now fully organized for the
Presidential campaign and request De-
mocratc organization in all States and
Territories to send in the name ofregular
committees Immediately. Applications
for documents, speeches and other politi-
calmatter, and all communications relating
to the bushes of the Committee, should
be addressed to the secretary at !, 1924 F,
street, Washington City. Editors who
may send their newspapers to the com
mittee will be furnished with all the
documents published by them.
Payne's financial bill has been ad-
dopted in the Democratic caucus, by
vote Of 69 to 40.
Hon. John A. Mcmahon was ap-
pointed on the committee to investi-
gate the whisky frauds. The commit
tee is very able one. The Crook
ed will now be made straight"
The Senate Committee on Privileges
met Saturday and continued its investi-
cation of the charges concerning Senator
Spencer's election by the Alabama Le-
gislature.
Robert Barber, clerk of the House of
Delegates, testified that Spencer pro-
missed to have him appointed marshal
this was before he had begun to work for
Spencer's interests. The night before
Spencer'S election, witness kept guard
over two colored Representatives who
were thought to be against Spencer for
the purpose of breaking the quorum next
day; in the morning Spencer promised
the colored members that they should be
provided for, limiting that there was
route agency vacant on the Western
Railroad; they subsequently voted for
Spencer. Witness went with party to
Lorrudes county to defeat the election of
an enemy Of Spencer, and the latter fur
nished $500 for expenses; also went in
to other counties on similar business, but
forgets whether the expenses were to be
paid by Spencer or the State Committee.
Some letters from Spencer to witness
promising the Marshalship and other
patronage in case of Spencer's election,
were offered and read.

LAND FRAUDS.
ANOTHER GREAT PLUMBER
SCHEME BROUGHT TO
LIGHT.
The President, Ex-Secretary Borie,
Fred Grant and Others Said
to be Implicated.

WASHINGTON, March %. A new
scheme of plunder, in which the names
of President Grant, ex-Secretary Borie,
Fred. Grant, and other prominent Ad-
ministration persons are mentioned, has
come to light. The statements of the case,
as vouched for by John G. Fitnam, a
prominent lawyer in Colorado Territory,
in letter written to Mr.. Clymer, Chair
man of the Committee on Expenditures
in the War Department, are these:
1t has been the common subject Of con-
versation for a long time in the southern
part of Colorado that land frauds. involv-
ing thousands ofacres of the public do
main in Los Animas county, have been
committed by the parties who control the
Denver and Rio Grande Railway Com
pany. These frauds have been commit
ted with the Connivance and collusion of
Government land officers at Pueblo, Col,
and in this city. Immense tracts of land
have been entered without the pretense
of compliance with pre-emption laws by
perjury and subornation. William l..
Jackson, Treasurer of the Denver and
Rio Grande Railway Company, holds the
title to extensive areas of public land in
Los Animas county as trustee for the
Company, upon which, as alleged, no set
tlement or improvement was ever made
in compliance with law. Many honest
settlers have been defrauded of their i'm
provements Many tracts of coal lands,
worth from $40 to 500 per acre, have
been entered as agricultural land and the
Government defrauded of the difference.
The Denver and Rio Grande Railway
Company is a corporation composed
chiefly of wealthy Philadelphia and Lon
don capitalists, who, according to authen-
tic statements, form one of the most dis
agreeable monopolies in the West. The
people of Colorado complain bitterly of
the way in which the road is managed in
the interests of its owners and to the
manifest detriment of the parties who
should be benefited by it. 1t is charged
that President Grant has invested money
either directly or indirectly in these land
speculations, and it is matter of no sec
resy that the President is stockholder
in the Denver and Rio Grande Rail-
way.
The Commissioner ofthe General Land
Office, has afidavits, reports, &c, on file
in relation to this matter, and II. G. ALLIE
man, of Washington, the United States
Attorney for Colorado, will be subpenaed
to give all the information in his possess
sion pertaining to this matter. Aninves-
tigation will be made by the Committee
on Public Lands, of which Mr.. Sayler is
Chairman. 1t will undoubtedly show, as
every other investigation has done, bo-
naza of corruption, with the man lode
entering the door of the White House.
Some of the residents of Trinidad, Col,
have made Intellectual efforts to have the
subject investigated by the Land Office
at Pueblo.

A WORK DONE BYA WOMAN.

A suggestive account, says the New
York Tribune, has just been published by
a German woman in this country ofthe
work done by certain women in Berlin
in reducing the price of living in that
city. In 1866 Mrs. Lena Morganstern,
with two or three other ladies of wealth
and influence, finding that the cost of
provisions was enormous, established
several Volk's Kuchen, or peoples kitch-
ens-restaurants where meals could be
had at the retail cost of the materials
alone. In 1873 these women determined
to bring charity to their own homes by
forming a housel eeper's association,
whose object should be the reduction of
the cost of living, the promotion of plain
and economical habits and the improve
ment of the condition of servants In
1874 there were two hundred and fifty
members. Cooperative laundries, bak-
cries, intelligence offices and stores for
groceries, meats and provisions were
opened, all under the supervision of wo-
men. At the present time the member
ship embraces 900 families, and issues
weekly paper of high order, containing
its price lists, etc. The central bureau
imports its supplies direct from China,
France, Java, the United States, etc, and
is thus enabled to supply the co opera
tive trade throughout Europe. Coal is
also purchased wholesale by the associa-
ton, and sold in accurately measured
caps.

THE BELKNAPS BETTER THAN
THE EHARLANSAND WILLLAl[SES

It cannot be forgotten that while ex-
Secretary Harlan was Senator, Gen. Boyn-
ton ofthe Cincinnati Gazette counted from
the Auditors books in the Treasury all
ofthe items of daily expenditure that Mr..
Harlan had charged to the funds appro'
priated for the expenditures Of the Inte-
rior Department while he was Secretary
of the same. The bills paid were for the
carpets in his dwelling house, and put
down by Mr.. A. T Stewart of New York,
The Gazette published the scandal. The
furniture was paid for in the same way
so were carriage, horses, servants, his
sons pony, and his wife's visiting and
reception cards. This exposure did not
seem to injure Mr., Harlan with his
brother senators, nor in his State, for,
with the aid of Durand's ten thousand
dollars, he was reelected.
Pending the confirmation of eX-Attor-
General Williams as Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, 1t was proved that
he and his wife had diverted the money
appropriated for the expenditures of his
department to private uses. Not only
did he pay ST 800 of the Government
money for his wife's landaulet, but there
were many other Interpretations of
Government funds. Mr.. Williams re.
NAMED in the Cabinet eighteen monthD
after these exposures, and his wife was
received the same as usual. Now, the
Belknaps have done nothing of this
sort They have been scrupulous in
drawing a dividing line between their
own and Government funds,-C0uier-
