How Government Detective Proceed

ed Against the Ku-Klux.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secret.ser-
vice agents of the Administration arc
almost daily turning States evidence
and revealing the conspiracies and
crimes of Grantism. Whitley, ex-
Chief Of the Secret Service and one of
the safe burglary conspirators who
was indicted and tried but escaped by
a packed jury, recently returned here
from Colorado and has been summon
ed to appear before several investigat-
ing committees of the House. To-day
he testified before the Committee OH
Expenditures in the Department of
Justice. He swore that in 1871 After
ney General Ackerman gave him an
unlimited order on the disbursing
clerk of the Treasury to draw as much
money as was needed to procure arrest
Of the leaders of the Ku-Klux outrages
in the Southern states. Whitley made
one or two trips to South Carolina and
Georgia, and came back well armed
with exaggerated stories to circulate
in the North about fearful outrages
which had never been committed
and were Of use to the Administration
for political purposes. Then he sent
detectives South to work up the cases.
These detectives were mostly relatives
of Whitley, to whom he would give
81 900 or So, ,0O0,each with instructions
to establish grocery store or go into
any other business that they liked,
and use it as blind to obtain informa-
ton about Ku-KluX operations. The
witness very frankly stated in the ma
jerity of cases he never heard from
these detectives after they became es-
tablished in grocery stores or ON farms
and the information that he did obtain
from the few was only of avail to cir
culate blood-curdling stories. Mr..
Whitley spent between $130, 600 and
$3.50, 600 in this way, and he neglected
to tell the committee how much of this
amount he appropriated to himself.
His stsry was the old story of Detec-
tive Hester, who Ku.Kluxed Alabama
by manufacturing his crimes and using
the unrestricted powers of the Force
bill to intimidate and disfranchise en-
tire counties by wholesale arrests of
innocent people who were never even
convicted in courts controlled by
Grant.

In the Virginia House Of Represen-
tatives yesterday resolution was pre-
sented removing from Office George S.
Stevens, Judge OF the Nelson county
Court, for conduct unbecoming his
judicial character. such as gam

G. K. Peck testified before the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the War
Department yesterday that "the post
traders were assessed for political pur-
poses, and that during the last Presi.
idential canvass he paid from $4,000 ia
$4,000. He thought he remitted the
money to the Chairman of the Com
mittee at Washington. He presumed
they were asked to subscribe because
they held the post traderships under
the administration. He did not con.
slider they were obliged to pay, but
were notified that contributions would
be acceptable. Similar testimony was

A New England administration or

A New England administration or
gan says "the House has wasted away
its time in most disgraeeful manner"
Probably it was a waste of time to
show how Belknap was swindling the
poor soldiers on the frontier and MAX
ing money cut of the graves of dead
union soldiers in the national cemeter-
les; probably it was waste of tirhe to
show how OWL Grant the brother of
the President, is thepaid solicitor and
agent OF a score of firms in different
cities, to obtain contracts at exorbi-
tant prices for worthless goods from
the government: probably it was o
waste of time to prove how the coun-
try has been swindled out of hundreds
of thousand if not millions of dollars in
the Pestoffice Department, the Depart.
ment of Justice, aud in almost every
other branch of the service. The or
gans of the administration may think
this waste of time, but the people
wLo have to foot the bills look upon it
in an entirely different light. Doubt
less they knew all about it. They
shared in the spoils, but there was q

whisIsey Frauds Confessed.

In the whiskey case of Pohlman, Rust
4 Co, at Chicago, yesterday, Herman
Becker and Ernest Mattean, formely
Storekeepers, testified that they received
money from the firm for allowing frauds
upon the Government. Becker showed
a note S1700, which he said the firm had
given him; and Mattern said that in less
than q year he received s25O0 for similar
service. The frauds consis d in using
stamps q second time, and running the
distillery beyond its taxed capacity, and
putting the surplus on the market
without paying the tax.

Plain Words,
From the New York Tribune.

FROM inc NeW L OfK Irl0une.
"Plain words are best" said Mr..
Curtis inhis sensible and earnest speech
before tho convention, The friends
of Mr.. Cenkling seem to have agreed
with him. Nobody doubts what Mr..
Conkling represents; nobody tries to
conceal or lessen his responsibility
for a policy Of administration which
he has always defended and sought to
perpetuate; but the Chairman of the
convention was even more outspoken
than any of US thought he would dare
10 be, and defined the connection be.
tween "sur great Senator" and Grant
ism with a frankness which must have
made some of the delegates open their
eyes. We have only to accept Mr..
Conkling for President, said Chairman
Dawson, and we shall have "a worthy
successor of the present incumbent of
the office, who has proved himself as
wise and patriotic In peace as he was
brave and invulnerable on the field of
battle"
SO General Grant has been wise in
peace. j. was wise to make an inJi>
mate frit i Of Shepperd. 1t was wise
TO trust Donald and Babcock. 1t
was wis u hold up the District Ring,
the Whiahcy Ring, the Real Estate
Ring, the Suffers Ring, the Naval
Ring.I was wise to overlook Belknap's
bribery when it was divulged in 1872
1t was wise to sstracize Sumner and
make al ally of Butler, 1t was wise
to undertake the San Domingo job, 1t
was wise to appoint GARNER and Casey
, and Packard. 1t was wise to upset the
Government of Louisiana. 1t was wise
to dispersc the Legislature at New
| Orleans. 1t was wise to back kellogg
and Spencer. 1t was wise te retain
Williams as Attorney General and
Schenck as an Ambassador. 1t was
wise to nominate Williams as Chief
Justice, and to put Billings in the
place of Durrell. 1t was wise to let
OrVille Grant make a shabby living
by the sale of appointments, 1t was
wise to take the Government fund;
away from the Barings and trust them
to Clews. 1t was wise to put the
Treasury into the hands of Richardson
and to encourage the operations ol
Jayne and SanboIn, and to eustair
Delano under fire, and to accept the
resignation of Belknap with regret. l
was wise to take the increase of ON,
hundred per cent. in bis salary and ts
! sign the back pay bill. And finally i
was wise to enter into the great Thirt
Term conspiracy, and prostitute the
civil service to prolong his own leas,
of power. All these actions, and ,
hundred like them, were wise, patrio
tic and beneficent. And Mr.. CoDklin&
promises, if elected, to 90 on in tn
same course.
Well, that is just whatMr. Conkhn
would do. There is not one of Gen
Grants most tlagrant blunders whic
Conkling has not approved; not one 9
: his outrages upon the rights of lh
people and the States to which Conk
ling has not been censenting party
: 1t is perfectly true that he would be
worthy successor to President who's
policy has corrupted the entire Gov
! ernment and disgraced the country il
tic eyes of the world. And now W
ask again, as we asked yesterday
What are decent Republicans going t.

A MEETING AT MILFORD IN FAVOR OF
THE PROJECT.
At Milford, on Wednesday evening,
a meeting was held in behalf of the en-
terprise of erecting at the Centennial
grounds magnificent bronze memor
ial lamp post as perpetual monument
to the State OF Delaware.
Mr. S. p. Bancroft, former Della
warean, now of Philadelphia, has
charge of the work in this State and
has been for several weeks energeti-
cally prosecuting the enterprise, ad-
dressed the meeting. He gave min
ute description of the contemplated
lam pest. from which it appears that
it will be splendid work of art, and
remain for all time a monument to the
State. Mr.. 3. said the work would
cost $4,000; and while that might ap-
pear to be a large sum, it was proposed
to collect in small amounts so that 1t
would be oncrous to none. Every
contributor is furnished with Il receipt,
and dollar subscription entities to
life membe ship in the Association.

galactometer is used for ascertaining the

only Instrument employed by the New

good authorities, the employment of
