THE LAST ATTACK.
Treasury.

Senator Morton is q politician whom we
thoroughly distrllst. His methods ana Dis
polcy are alike bad. We can hardly think or q
prominent man now in public life so objectiona-
bile that we should not feel bound to support
him for the Presidency, as against Mr.. Morton.
And vet we cannot help seeing that the
present Democratic attack upon the Indiana
Senator is ingeniously calculated to beget for
him the sympathy and good will OF the coun-
try. IL proceeds upon the charge that, al inc
beginning of the war, when rebel syInpa-
thizers controlled the Legislature OF INDIANA
he obtained, rs Governor of that State, large
sum of money from the United States for eX-
penditure in paying, equipping, ana arming
troops to aid in the suppression OF the rebel
lion. If it can be shown that any part OF tins
money was taken by Mr. Morton Tor pn-
yatc use, any decent citizen would at
least prefer to have the proof before max
ing the story public. Nobody asserts
such thing. The charge is that tho
pavmcnt to Gov. Morton was not strictly war
ranted by law because his State was not ID
rebellion. In short, the Democrats propose To
punish Mr.. Morton for taking effective meas
ures against rebellion in Indiana. That Is all
there is in the business thus far.
If later evidence warrants any question as
to the faithful disposition of the money thus
received it will then be time to consider II.
As tho case stands new, it appears to be
merely another attempt to besmirch Presl-
Dental candidate The Democrats will gam
no advantage from the fact that some
of their spokesman seem to hal this
attempt with the more joy, for the reason
that Mr. Morton was exceedingly troublesome
to their party in 1861. 1t is not by the
revival of such memories that the Democracy
is to win victory-if it win it at all-in 1876.

We do not propose to discuss the merits of Messrs.
Cowles & Co.'S great Moth Destroyer whereby the
uniforms Of our gallant soldiery were to be saved
from that hungry and troublesome little creature.
Nor shall we now take part in the controversy re-
speeding the remuneration for their services owhich
Messis Cowles * Co. entitled but wo should
like to ask these experts in the art of publication if
some kind of stuing might not be hit upon for the
chairs in Congress and the public Offices which
would exercise wholesome moral influence upon
tho occupants of that furniture. Ii is u sad truth
that there are great many moths of gigantic size
in Washington. They fatten wonderfully upon the
public grecnbacks. They have appettcs which never
fail. They gorge themselves upon contracts They
fill themselves full of internal revenue. They wash
down their victua so TO speak, with Illicit whisky.
In short they are tho Moths of the Treasury. We
do not propose to kill them of. but we shoud like to
physic them into something like moderation. Can
not Cowles * Co. invent something for the purpose
something which might also be well rubbed into
lobby members collectors secretaries, and cOntrac-
tors 7 Ii would be better than impeachment-it
would be less expensive and surer than indictment.
An ounce of this sort of prevention would be worth
pound Of legal cure. Pray let us have it If it be
possible

By defeating the insurgents and entering
Nicsic in triumph, Mukhtar Pasha has sue
ceeded in striking a heavy blow at the nsur-
rectionary cause. The victory may, however,
eventually prove damaging to the Turks, since
it will inevitably make them arrogant and I'M
reasonable.

stitutional, if levied by a State, it cannot be
met beforehand by an injunction, no matter
whether there is irregularity in the proceed
ings, error in the valuation of property, hard
ship in the law, or any other grievance that
lawsuit can remedy. The Court also finds
that the Illinois State tax is constitutional, lts
application to railroad capital and franchise
is legal, and the mode of assessing is equitable.
General amnesty is becoming more popular
in France. At the great meeting held yester-
day in Lyons it was warmly advocated. In
Paris Louis Blanc and Victor Hugo were rap
turously applauded when they favored the
policy of forgiveness. "Amerca," said the
latter, " initiated us by abolshing slavery ;
eve shall initiate her by granting amnesty"
The movement is beset with danger to the
Republicans If they make amnesty party
measure, they will be very generally identiii d
with the misdeeds of the Commune; if they
do not they will lose the Radical support 1t
may not be too late for the Government to
act more generously, and thus break the force
of the popular demand.
Though not without good features, the bill
fixing new rates of postage evidently contains
many crUdities, and it needs to be thouShtiully
revised before it is adopted This bill is, how
ever, better than the average OF postal meas
urcs before Congress, one OF tho others, Tor
instance, providing that letters not fully pre-
paid shall be sent to the Dead Letter once
The plan of Postmaster James respecting such
letters IS far more reasonable, as it c0ntcm-
plates forwarding them when the sender IS not
known, and charging double rates for the de-
fciency This plan would be still better if the
letters were to be forwarded in all cases. as
the delay of returning the letter when its
sender happens to be known to the Post-O Office,
must three times out of -four be productive OF
a loss compared with which little extra post
age would be of no moment.
Gen. Belknap's impeachment becomes more
and more a matter of doubt, despite the elab-
crate ceremonies of the trial. Senators are
beginning to perceive that il they have the
right to try private citizens who are no longer
in Office there is 10 end to the ghosts which
Democratic House may call up from the buried
past for fresh investigation. If Gen. Bclknap
can be impeached, why cannot, for instance,
ex-Secretary Dclano7 But if the failure to
impeach is consequent upon Gen. Belknap's
prompt resignation, the people who helped HIM
to resign must accept the responsibility for the
failure. Mr.. Clymer's advice to Gen. Bclknap
was certainly very significant, and probably
fastened his application to the President The
position which Mr.. Clymer occupies III respect
to this advice is precisely the same as IN re-
gard to permitting the flight of the Marshes
to Canada. He either meant to help Gen.
Belknap or has very feeble capacity for see
inc beyond his nose.

Secretary Chambers evidence before the
Real Estate Pool Committee puts in new
light the story of Mrs. Boggs, who received
500 a month for her influence in keeping
Major Clemens in office. The President, in the
correspondence furnished, appears to have dis
countenanced the arrangement as soon as he
heard of it; but this fact can only be de-

War on Suerfal Lnxys,

Representative Springer's proposed
amendment to the constitution to pre-
vent special legislation by Congress as
is now done in several States with ex-
cellent effect, if adopted will inaugur-
ate great reform,
The evil or special legislation in
Congress is even greater than in the
State Legislature. During the present
session there have been introduced in
the House alone more than 1 ZOO bills,
and very large majority of these are
private Or special in their character
In their consideration, committees are
obliged to act on er parte evidence,
produced by persons interested in their
passage; and it is very rare that any
special investigation on the part of
the Government can be made. The
result is, that numerous bills, appro-
priating money which the Government
does not owe, pass during every ses-
sion of Congress.
In the last Congress 1000 bills, re-
presenting claims. amounting to $27,-
OO0, 600, were referred to single COM
mittee of the House, that on war
claims. There was probably not one
of these claims which could not better
have been dealt with by a court having
competent jurisdiction.

CONGRESS YESTERDAY

In the Serate yesterday after the
expiration of the morning hour, Mr.
Morton resumed his speech on the
alleged frauds in the late election in
Mississippi, but without concluding
the matter was allowed to go over un.
til to day. The resolution to continue
in force the joint rules for the govern
ment of the two bouses Of Congress
was adopted with an amendment ex.
cepting the 22d rule.in regard TO coun-
ting the vote for President and Vice
President.
In the House an adverse report was
made on the billproyiding for rednc-
tion on first class mail matter. The
consideration of the centennial appro,
priation bill was then resumed.
