l'he FrAnking Abuse.

When the two houses of Congress
agreed in voting away a large sum to
print 800 900 extra copies of the trashy
Agricultural reports of 1874 and 1875,
they supplied themselves with another
for reviving the franking abuse. OF
what value would these books be if
honorable members were to be charged
postage on them? They would only
add to the mountainous piles of Pub.
Does. already accumulated in the eel
lars and attics of Washington. But
if these could all be mailed free, the
members could do a good and mex.
pensive turn (useful for the campaign)
by sending the bulky volumes to
simple minded bucolic constituents
who know no better than to prize the
worthless gifts. This is the principal
object, probably, of the Senate vote
restoring the frank-though the pri-
vilege of sending home ones letters
washing, and garden seeds free had
some influence on that result. As fol
speeches for campaign consumption,
those are already provided for in the
Congressional Record. In this publi>
cation members can publish speeches
never made in Congress, or enlarge
and alter those actually made to suit
themselves. The Record goes free
everywhere. The great purpose of
the old franking privilege is therefore
attained in another way; and there is
less excuse for the attempt to load q
new expense of hundreds Of thousands
of dollars on the country. The repeal
of the frank was one of the most popu.
lar acts that ever passed Congress
Every man and woman in the Uunited
States who received and sent letters
was interested in clearing the mails ol
all that obstructive rubbish from
Washington.

The BlackmaiIing to Go On.

The clause in the Legislative &e.
Appropriation bill prohibiting the
political assessment of office>holders,
as it has passed Congress, is hollow
mockery and false pretense. 1t will
not diminish the continuance of this
disgraceful praticl alike oppressive
upon the Office holders and Injurious
to the public service. The clause first
adopted by the House made it mis-
demeanor for an off. Ger or employee of
the Government to pay to any person
whomsoever an assessment for politi,
cal purposes, as well as to solicit the
same from any other officer or en-
ployee. This covered all the loop.
holes. 1t is we'll understood that
chairmen or secretaries of partisan
committees. These are not necessari-
ly officers of the Government. The
heads of departments of bureaus give
their consent to the blackmailing
operation, but personally appear to
have nothing to do with it. Some of
them probably divide portion of the
plunder with the assessors-of course
leaving some share behind for genuine
campaign expenses. This Infamous
system can now be kept up as briskly
and proftably as before-provided on =.
ly that the men who solicit and receive
the levies of money are not themselves
office.holders. For by an amendment
of the prohibitory clause in the Senate,
which has now been forced through
Congress, only the offlce-holders are
made liable to the penalty when coll
lecting from or paying to others of the
tribe.
Let lis illustrate the future workings
of the law by case in hand. Some
weeks ago clerk in the Interior De-
partment Travelled among his fellow
employees with subscription list for
campaign expenses. They were taxed
two per cent. on their salaries. They
knew that this was done under high
authority, and if they did not sign
their places would soon be vacant.
Only few refused. Towards the
close of last week, when 1t became
evident that the bill forbidding these
acts would pass, Secretary Chandler
found it convenient to order his clerk
to take a back track, and sent him
around to tell the victims that the
subscriptions were voluntary, and
they could take their names off. This
he did, but it is said that none of the
signers have complied. They know
too we'll that the subscriptions will now
be collected by persons who do not
happen to hold office and TO whom they
can legally pay the assessments, and
that if they decline to adapt Them
selves to this arrangement off go their
heads! Every dollar OF the subscrip-
tions Will probably be collected, and
none of the office holders will have
violated the letter OF the law. Such is
the trickery of legislation in Presiden-
tial campaigns.

The Rebel" House.
HOW UNION SOLDIERS WERE DIS
CHARGED AND REBELs PUTIN
THEIR PLACESO ~

The following clearly proves the
falsity of the charge made by the Ra-
dical press, at the organization of the
last House of Representatives, that
"Union soldiers were discharged to
make room for rebels"
The House adopted the invarlabie
rule of political parties, and chose its
employees many from among its own
friends. The result was that more
Union soldiers got positions under the
Forty third Congress.
In point of fact the charge of unus-
ual favoritism of men who served in
the rebel army is false. The door.
keepers department contains the grea-
test number of employees and has
been described as the most exclusiv ely
rebel department about the House.

figures furnished to Congress by the
doorkeeper, giving details of the per.
sonnel OF his employees.

They Ought to be Court-Mar.ialed.

One of the most potoriously corrupt
officials in the service of the Govern
ment is Isaiah Hanscom, Chief of the
Bureau of Construction and Repair in
the Navy Department. 1t is from the
contracts made by the corrupt conni.
vance of this man Hanscom that Robe
son and his friends have got large
share of their plunder. With scoun
drelly chief, the opportunities for
blackmailing contractors and engin~
eering plans for stealing have been
great in this bureau. which has spent
since the advent of Robson twenty or
thirty millions in mostly useless re"
pairs and foolish reconstruction OF yes
sells. The way in which the Republic
can Congress made the appropriations
for the navy directly helped these
plunderers. Instead Of appropriating
money in detail, and for specific pur-
ses, plainly set forth in the bill, the
he money has been given in lump,
and Robson and Hanscom have spent
it as best suited their private gain.
This Hanseom is not only corrupt
but also an incompetent chief of this
bureau. He is simply ship carpeh-
ter, brutally ignorant of the science of
naval. architecture. ALI he knows
about it is what he has picked up by
heaving timber in ship yards. If lock.
cd in room by himself with pencil
and sheet of blank paper, be couldn't
go through the most elementary CONT
putations necessary in ship building.
But he is just the man for Robson,
ready to foster jebs and collect divvies
Ever since he has been in the place he
has been actively at work in this di-
rection, and that such has been his
employment is a matter of notoriety
in the navy.
The Bureau of Steam Engineering
is just as rotten. At its head is the
imbecile Wood and Robson has been
able to plunder right and left to his
hearts content. If not an actively

cy, and mental incapaclty have enabL
