THE L0GAN-HONORE-GRAN7' G.
SCANDAL


In our Washington correspondence
to-day will be found complete history
Of the circumstances under which Fred
Grants hthcr.in-law and Senator Lo-
gan obtained possession of valuable
mining properly in Colorado by pro-
curing the removal Of n Judge who
stood in the way of the contemplated
seizure, and the appointment of one
who could be depended upon to sup
port their claims to property which, as
the courts~had decided. belonged to
other parties who had long been in
possession of tho same. There have
been a good many scandalous disclos-
ures lately in regard 10 the manner in
which the White House influence has
been used for the cmolumcnt Of friends
and relatives of the President; but we
do not know of anything that has yet
transplrcd which has an uglier look
than this shameful transaction. IA.

the OLD FARM HOUSE.

the OLD FARM HOUSE.
The easy chair, all patched with care,
Il placed by the cold hsarth-stonsj
With witching grace, in the old re-place,
The evergreens are strewn,
And pictures hang on the whtsned wall,
And the old clock ticks on the cottage hall
More lovely stiil, on the window-slll,
The dew-eyed flowers rest,
While midst the leaves on the moss. grown cave
The martin builds her nestj
And all day long the summer breeze
Is whispering love to the Bonded trees.
Over the door, all covered DER
With q sack Of dark green baze,
Lays n musket old, whose worth Is told
In the events Of other days;
And the powderaask, and the hunters horn,
Have hung beside Il for many q morn.
For years have fed, with noisaless tread,
Like fairy dreams away,
And in their flight, all shorn of its might,
A father-old and gray
And the soft winds play with the snow-white hair
And the old man sleeps 10 his easy chair.
Inside the door, on the sanded floor
Light. airy footsteps glide,
And u maiden fair, with naxen hair,
kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm,
While the ivy clings TO Its trembling form.

with the fear Of removal before tbei,
eyes, were ready 10 weld to such pres
sure, and the corrupt ones were toe
glad of n SEEMING opportunity te
strengthen their hands by Congres
sional protection.
DR.. Brodhead the retired Second
Comptroller, had held office ior more
than a generation and had become a
mere time server Enormons claims
were decided by the clerks under him,
some OF whom have acquired public
notriety ftr being purchasable. He
signed their awards without scruple.
lie was also member of the Board OF
Audit to settle the accounts of the
washington ling, and in capacity
signed whatever papers Boss Shop
herds former clerks presented.
Mr.. Rutherford, the retired Auditor,
was carpet-bagger who squatted
down in North Carolina, and who, like
his class, never failed to improve any
opportunity within reach. The sus.
picious methods of doing business in
his Office long ago attracted attention.
but he was truly loyal TO Grant, and
that devotion was u shield until his
misconduct threatened serious dflicul.
ties for the Administration.
The CHANGES now made ara usctul
and may temporarily cbecl, the nlun.
der of the Treasury. But really tbev
only scratch the surface. Tho whole
organization, with honorable excep.
tions, is dcmoralizcd, and in many
branches utterly rotten. Combinations
have long existed between claim agents
and lobbyists outside and officials inside
the Treasury, by which bad claims are
not only put through, but the best ones
are scandalously blackmailcd. The
agents who are the Intermediates Of
this extortion are as well known at
Washington as the President himself.
They arrange the terms with confed.
crates who have to pass upon the ac-
counts, and who can reject or admit
claims at discretion. The practice is
to suspend action until bargain is
made, and when all the formalities are
completed, to rush through the award
by concert with the checking officers.
