WILMINGTON, DEL. MAR. II. 1875
High officiaI Positions COn.pen.
safOru.

1t has frequently been said that high
official positions in the United States
were not compensatory, and that it tool
all Of O Cabinet officers salary to keeI
his family in the style necessary to life
in Washington. That no doubt is owing
to what kind of man the Office holder
is. II, like the great old Democratic
Statesmen, he has contempt for balls
and parties, and too much sense 10 be-
come addicted to wine or whiskey, and
gives his whole time and attention to the
duties he is sworn to perform, he will
find NO difficulty in living upon his
salary.
But under Grant it appears that office
holding has become very lucrative, and
that most Of the high positions have en-
riched their possessors. 1t does not ap-
pear that Bristow has made much, nor
that Secretary Fish is yet numbered
among the milionaires, but Cresswell, De-
lano and Robson, it is said, have fallen
upon bonanzas which averendere ] them
Independent of the world, go far as filthy
llcre goes. Thus tie Baltimore Sun is
authority for the statement that Robson
had to sorrow 81 900 to purchase suit
able outfit when he assumed his Office,
and to-day he is reported to be worth
s2,ooo,ooo. That is doing pretty well.
How many fortunes have been made
BY minor officials, who have been per-
mitted to draw Government teats for
years past, says the Philadelphia Chron-
iele, is beyond reasonable computation,
but it would not be unfair to estimate
the aggregate at fully one-half the gross
amount of the National debt. And yet
in the face Of all this corruption, this
downright bare-faced stealing, there are
many honest-hearted men who will not
be persuaded to aid in restoring the Gov
ernment to something like the primitive
condition of honesty. There are those
who can find an apology for Belknap,
and who will not be convinced that Sec
retary Robson has made his millions IN
any other than perfectly legitimate way.
It is this kind Of feeling that encourages
official thieves in their dishonesty, that
causes them to take heart, and prompts
them to repeat again their acts Of dis
honesty. But we are, proverbially, on
unoomplaining people. We endure griev-
ances for a long time very patiently, but
as there is limit to all things, so this
spirit of forbearance will eventually be.
come impatient, and when the revulsior
does take place, it will be well fer cor
ruptionists to stand from under.

The Latest Re yelstsons.

A despatch from Washington says -
Col. Fisk, editor of Republican news
paper in Helena. Montana, was before
the House Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, and told startling story Of
the waste Of Government money for the
benefit of favored contractors. He said
that the continuance Of the route be-
tween Walla Walla and Masovla in
Montana had been protested against
since it's establishment by Postmaster
General Creswell in 1862 1t was through
q country but sparsely settled, and the
official records showed that to send let
ter over this route cost between seven
and eight hundred dollars. The service
had cost the Government well on to a
million of dollars for the benefit of no
one save the contractors, who lived in
luxury in Washington and New York.
A Mr. Nash testified that he knew an
army officer who could tell some very
startling facts in regard to beef con-
tracts. In one case alone he would test
ify that heard of sixteen hundred cat
tie were accepted and receipted for, and
their aggregate was placed at 32O, ,oOo
pounds more than the animals actually
weighed. He knew of another instance
where voucher for $4,000 was issued
for beef that was never supplied. The
name of this army officer was given, anc
he is now in the city and will be exam
ined at an early day.
