To the Schcnck Investigating Com
mittep.

Like master like man; and following the
line OF public doubts respecting GRANT,
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs is
now trying TO determine whether Gen.
ScHENCK's connection with the Emma
swindle was that of fool or that of IA
rascal. SCuENCK himself, having lodged
a writ at the railway station in London, is
on his way home TO testify in support OF
the fool theory. Ii is not TO be presumed
that his evidence will materially aid the
committee in arriving Mt Il conclusion; but
there are other persons who could, If dis
posed, throw considerable light on the in
side history Of the affair.
1t might be worth while to 1lbpona Mr..
OLIVER a. GAGER, Mr.. PARKS partner in
the chinaware trade. If the committee is
ever favored with Mr.. GAGER's attendance,
il should not omit TO ask him whether he
did not pay over 70 SCHEEcE, in London,
in November Isl, the sum OF $4,000 rs
the American Minister'S share of the pro-
fits Of speculative pool in Emma stock,
made up by SCHuNcR aud other members
of the poker congress which was then as
sembled in that metropolis.
Another gentleman who should have the
floor just at present is Mr.. JAMES Nj. SELo-
YER, friend OF PARK, and the man who
escorted Mr.. BRYDGEs WILLIAMS, NJ. r.,
and Prof. SILLIMAN across the continent III
palace car II will interest Prof. SILL
MANS friends TO learn whether Mr.. SELo-
YER has or has not in his possession Il re-
ceipt for $4,000 by him paid to SILLIMAN
in consideration of the latter's favorable
report ON the condition OF the mine.
Strange ms 1t may appear, even Mr.. JOIN
RUSSELL NoUNG, the celebrated sneak
news thief, is in position to aid the cause
Of truth. That journalist was, Mt the time
OIL scIIENcK's directoiship. a European am
bassador Of the Herdld. He ought TO be
able to remember whether Lyon, and Mr..
JOHNSON, his counsel, in al interview nj
the Langham Hotel in the fall of
1871, did not give him statement,
substantially the same as that made by
LioN before the House committee only the

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUNNI. The

thoughtful readers of The Sun, yet, after ALL

No doubt plenty of very grave reasons
will he found for mpeaching the secretary
of the Navy. He il corrupt, and has plum
dered the Treasury at rate which far ex-
cceds the achievements Of BtLKSAr; and
we are confident that Mr.. WuirTHoRNE's
committee VIII obtain ample evidence
upon which 10 proceed against him. But
we think II will be moro useful to take him
upon another and u less aggravated case.
We publish IN another column an account
of RoDEsoN's lending the United States
frigate Powhatan TO Mrs. BELKNAP for a
summer excursion TO New London, New
port Narragansott Pier, and West Point
This lasted fortnight or more; and dur
ing the whole time, Mrs. BELKNAp employ
ed the Powhatan precisely as though the
ship was her private property. She went
30 far that. when the ship was order
ed away upon actual duty in the West In
dies. She promptly got RorEsoN TO revci &C.
the order. so that she might still continue
to make this use of the fligatc.
This transaction of RoBEsoN' q constitutes
high crime and misdcmeanor, for which
lac should he impeached. 1t is true that the
practice is OF kind not infrequent under
the reign of Grantism; but this is only an
additional reason for cutting it up by the
roots, by furnishing the guilty Secretary.
We commend tins subject to the consider
alton Of Mr. WHITTHoUNE's committee.

Over one-halfof all the confirmed drunk
ards who take refuge in the lnebriate ASYLUM
IT BnghantoD, are permanently cured Of their
morbid appetite. The official statistics on the
subject, which have been published. cover seven
years, and a very large number of cases. Ibis
Is encouraging news for the slaves of drunken
ness. Many Of these slaves are utterly desti-
tute Of hope, and look on themselves az doomed.
They feel that their desires are unquenchable,
that their power Of resistance Is wholly gone,
and that forcible restraint would destroy their
reason. But yet 1t appears that even though
their drunken habit has become chronic, aud
has gone To its furthest limit, they have an even
chance Of getting over IT, and reHntering the
paths Of sotioty. There is not a drunkard who
needs 10 feel himself lost, II he has a desire TO
be saved.

Inc with FAR more power and practically than

nearly 250CO people, were especially deserving Of
notice. lie now shows that he Is not afraid to
retuke and attack the great practical manifest
evils, SINS, and wrongs that are so widespread
and so injurious to the community. He has

II seems clear that the Legislature cannot
much longer hold out against public opinion
in regard TO the ineniciency and mislnan-
ngcnent of the Dock Department. Ii is
very evident that the Commission ought
either TO he abolished or shoru entirely of
its power of squandering money and
botching the water front. A commission
that is responsible for the bullying and
cracked walls and other self-confessed
abortions which were the result of VAN
and foolish attempt to substitute some
thing of their own connection for the care

the abolition OF this fraudulent depart
meut Nobody who gave any attention to
what il had done could honestly advise
differently. Comptroller GREEN, IN one of
his late letters on city taxation, gave CO.
gent reasons for wiping out the whole con-
Germ, and turning the care of the docks
over To a bureau of the Department Of
Public Works. Three Commissioners now
wraugle over work which is the creation
of their own imaginations, and large
retinuo of clerks and employees busy them
selves in recording what this Pickwiclian
board does. and in fussing with nnicky de-
tails. The Commissioners should be dis

Gov. TILDEN in his last admirable mes
sage went largely and with great dscrim-
nation into tho question Of taxation.
which he rightly regarded as the most I'M
portant question of the day. In effect he
promised that If certain reforms, which he
detailed, were carried out, taxation might
| be reduced one-half. Let him now turn
his attention to this enormous Dock De-
pnrtment leak. and recommend to the
