Two years ago Nj. ii. W. t,,lmuns was pay
ing-teiier Of the Second National Bank of Bos-
ton, but the sum of $4,000 was missed from
the safe and the consequence was his quiet dis
charge from the service Of the institution,
August Is, 1874. The directors believed him to
be an honest man, but the fact stood that there
was a deficiency of $4,000 for which he was
responsible. They We're content, however, with
dropping Inn and taking 10 legal action for the
recovery OF the money. Since the severance of
his connection with the bank Mr.. Edmunds has
been engaged III the book business, but through
all he has been suspected man. To-day his
deliverance came i'll simple way. His Sue
ceSsor in the bank, Mr.. Henry Fuller, while en-
engaged al the safe this morning found the iden-
teal bills which had been missing for two years
in the safe near the jamb Of the door and in
such position that every time the door was
opened they We're pushed farther out Of sight.
We find the above in the news des-
patches, as an occurrence in Boston 1t is
full Of food for the thoughtful mind And
it may We'll be suspected that such cases
are more common than people generally
believe. Nobody IS specially to blame in
the matter. Ihe directors, in the dis
charge of their trust, could hardly have
taken a different conrse--and the disap-
pearance Of the money can be set down
only as an unfortunate accident. But
think Of the nental anguish Of an honest
man, knowing his own innocence, at be-
ing discharged in Disgrace and compelled
to bear for years tile stigma Of breach of
trust AID robbery. The unlocked for dis
covery Of the missing finds causes two
important restorations-to the bank its
money, and to the ex-teler his reputation.

The Committee on Foreign affairs, which
has been investigating the conduct Of Min
lister Schenck in England, has made re-
port. They decide that the stock jobbing
of the Emma Mine was an operation not
consistent with honor or his diplomatic
position, and recommended the ,ssage Of
the following resolution
Resolved. That this House condemns the
actions OF Gen. Robert q. Schenck, United
States Minister at the Court of St. james, in be-
coming Il director Of the Emma Silver Mining
Company Of London, and his operations in con-
nectlon with the shares of said company and
the vendors thereof, as iIl-advised, unfortunate
and Incompatible with the duties Of his official
position.
That is mild enough, Heaven knows,
Tor the conduct of a man whose official po-
sltlon was used to swindle the English
public and enrich himself Schenck may
congratulate himself on getting of easily.

"My own public life has been a brief and III
significant one, extending little beyond the du-
ration of a single term of senatorial office, but
in that brief period have seen five judges of a
high court of the United States driven from Of
flee by threats of impeachment for corruption
or administration. | have heard the taunt
from triendliest lips that when the United
States presented herself in the East to take
part with the civilized world in generous com
petition in the arts Of life, the only product of
her institutions in which She surpassed all
others beyond question was her corruption. |
have seen in the State in the Union foremost in
power and wealth four judges of her courts
impeached for corruption, and the political adj
ministration of her chief city become disgrace
and a by-word throughout the world. ! have
seen the chairman of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs in the House, now distinguished
member of this court, rise in his place and de-
mand the expulsion of four of his associates for
making sale of their official privilege of select
ing the youths to be educated at our great mil
itary school. When the greatest railroad of
the world, binding together the continent and
uniting the two great seas which wash our
shores, was finished, have seen our national
triumph and eXating turned to bitterness and
shame by the unanimous reports of three COM
mitteeS Of Congress, two of the House and one
here, that every step of that mighty enterprise
had been taken in fraud. / have heard in high
est places the shameless doctrine avowed by
men grown old in public office that the true
way by which power should be gained in the
republic is to bride the people with the offices
created for their service, and the true end of
which it should be used when gained is the pro-
motion of selfish ambition and the qualification
of personal revenge. | have heard that suspi-
cion haunts the footsteps of the trusted com
panions of the President. These things have
passed into history
Thus much regarding the general cor
ruption of the country. Let us turn to its
local outcroppings. Four years ago the
Progressive Age sounded the alarm from
its watch tower that corruption was stalk
ing abroad in the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict of Maine The sitting member of
Congress, it declared, was keeping him
self in Office by means OF the creation and
maintenance of sinecure Offices, the hold
ers Of which iabored to secure the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S denomination and reelection.
And all this against the will of the people
that he represented. This was Il most
serious accusation. 1t included, first the
robbery of the treasury to pay useless Of
ticials, whose real work was to aid the
Congressman in turn to hold 4 rich Office
with al. that it implied in pay, influence
and emoluments. 1t also included cor
ruption at Washington, which responded
to the desire to have such needless Off
cials, when the treasury department must

The Louisiana Supreme Court, in the
case of HELwEGE VS.. Hlbernia National
bank, where check for forty-one dollars
was raised by the drawer, after certifica-
ton, to 81, 150 and passed to plaintiff in
the course of business, held the bank ha-
BILE TO pay the full amount. The decision
seems to have been rested on the ground
that the bank was negligent in certifying
q check in which there was suck blank
as to allow the alteration to be made
without exciting suspicion. Expert tes-
timony was given that if the blank had
been ssored with pen the mark could
not have been erased so as to leave no
traces. The same ridiculous theory Of
courts held nearer home.

IHE CAUCUS SYSTEM.

There is something radically wrong IN
our political caucus system. 1t is true
that it is impossible to control political
organizations without the system. 1t is
absolutely necessary in order to have
harmony and discipline in the ranks.
Without q thorough organization it is
useless for party to enter canvass,
for il is as true in politics as it is IN mill
tar science, that a we'll drilled and dis
ciphned minority is always an over
match for a disorganized and unwieldy
majority. But the difficulty now is to
conduct a caucus proceeding in such fair
and straightforward manner as to give no
cause of complaint TO the members of the
party. There would be no difficulty in
accomplishing it if every man who went
into party convention, would go there
with the purpose Of doing what WAS a
square thing and subordinating every
thing else to the welfare of his party.
Blu. politics have SO degenerated that
that politicians have coIe to look upon
the caucus rs q mere piece of machinery
to promote personal aspirations, and in
stead of using what was originally de-
vised as machine for party success, for
the purposes created, the contest becomes
as 10 who shall be the engineer
to run the locomotive The
result of this action is plain
to DO seen. Those who are
attached to party for the sake of a
party's principles alone, became Disguised
and sullenly and mournfully retire from
the party councils, leaving the machine
to be run by irresponsible parties.
The caucus system is Democratic
idea, and in the days of political purity
and craftsmanship it served an admirable
purpose, and kept up for halt-century
the splendid organization of the old
Democratic party. There are numbers
of old Democrats now living in this city

ING, JUDGE THOMPSON, JOHN KNoTE
and number of others whose names

US Just at this moment, who can
doubtless recollect twenty-five or thirty
years ago that when they went into
caucus, there was not even suspicion Of
fraud being perpetrsted. Every man
went in with the purest intentions, every
proposition was made in good faith; no
one was suspected of trying to take ad-
vantage of another. Everything was
discussed freely and without reservation,
and after full, free and courteous inter-
change Of views whatever the majority
adopted as the best policy was unani-
mously supported. Thus commencing
with but handful of veterans they
built up party organization and finally
attained political supremacy. The re-
verse of this rule OF working is now be-
ing adopted-uone but those who have
axes TO grind for themselves or their
friends, attend the political gatherings
dis,nterested parties not carirg TO re-
ceive the snubbings and discourtesies go
frequently imposed upon them-and of
those who run the machine are rings
and combinations formed, and every fell
low suspicious and jealous Of his neigh
Dor. The result Of this work is appar-
