A NEW PENSION FRAUD,
A vermonter Held for Trial and Two Wasl
lngton Lawyers Suspected

lHBtOn lawyers suspected.
A special dispatch to the Boston Herald,
dated at Montpelier, Saturday, July 10,
says: When the pension office detectives
were set at work last winter in looking for
"crookedncss" In certain suspected pension
claims, presented to that office by Attor-
neys Thomas i. and Benz. f. Lloyds of
Washington, u. c., they found that those
cases had been worked up by Samuel Nor
gan of Vermont. Detective Alexander
Hull was sent to this state, who very soon
procured sufficient evidence against Nor.
gan to justify him in arresting him an{
holding him for trial. When the evidepc,
was presented before the grand Jury
found several indictments against Morgan
for violation of the pension laws. Th,l
evidence is so clear against him, il is said
that the only defense he will make will b,
one of law. lie will claim that the law
that he has broken are all unco Institutional.
null and void. When Morgan was arrest
ed it was stated that the Lloyds did not
know of anything wrong, even in Morgan's
manner of doing business but a
recent journey of the detective to that state
has enabled him to procure evidence that
has brought Messrs. Thomas Il and Benz.
+. Lloyd to grief also. They have been
suspended from practice in the pension de-
partment, and the commissioner of ren-
sions refuses to hold further communca-
ton with them relative to the pending
claims. The HeraH correspondent is not
Informed whether they have been arrested
or not. If Morgan should consent to be a
witness against them, and get them con.
viCted, he would be released, no doubt, but
it ls said he will not do that. 1t has been
over twenty years since the Rev. Mr..
Bickiord was arrested and sent to prison
for procuring land warrants at the pension
Office on forged papers for Vermonters
Mr.. Diclford died in prison, and no arrests
have been made of claim agents since, un.
til Mr. Morgan's.

Failures for the Last Six Months.

The circular of Dun, Barlow q 20. for
the second quarter of the year
shows that the amount Of failures
in the United States during the three
months was $4,000, 900, compared with
k33, 900, 900 for the like period of 1876.
The amount for the first half Of the year
stated at 100000, 900, against $40, 0O0.-
90 for the first six months of last year.
This is a very unsatisfactory exhibit, but
| |. is observed that there is marked decline
n the number of failures for the second
quarter of the current year. In other
words, the number of failures in the last
hree months is less by one thousand than
lin the preceding three months of this year,
while the liabilities show decline of $751;
900, 0O0 both items showing an improve
ment of over 40 per cent. Happily the
variation is in the right direction.

Under the newly developed appreciation
of Grantism there is demand that Gov.
Hayes shall repudate the president and all
his works, as necessary means of secur-
ing his own election. The Governors let
ter does this both abundan,lv and sufficient
ly. His discussion of the civil-service re-
form question, bis pledge OF himself 10 a
single term, and his treatment Of the
southern question are most pertinent and
sharp COMBINATIONS OF Gen. Grant and
both his personal and political policy. The
country should so understand it. Gen.
Grant does, and is indignant and condemn
natory accordingly. To have singled ont
the president by name, or his especial acts
In detail, would have been in bad taste fer
Gov. Hayes. He did his work best in
stating sharply and deiiantly his own views
and his own policy, aud neither translation
or dictionary is needed to show ihat they
are very different from the views ard pol
icy of President Grant, In short. Gov.
Hayes proposes, il he has chance, to
track, to do what the independents and re-
formers have been qusrreling, these six
years, with Gen. Grant for not doing. No
one sees this better than the president him
self, and it isn't in Grant human nature to
give his critic the chance, if he can help
it.--Sp1inqtleM Republican,.

The strongest argument against breaking

of certain professions is that of prescription.
Ever since the creation peculiar duties ana

others quite as naturally to women. 1t Is quite
sufficient TO note the distinctions without IN

been well marked it is probable that they Will
continue To be. There was time, golden
time, when there were no lawyers, male OF

was mainly cultivated by men, though there
was nothing to prevent women from studying
