SCANDAL IN Alaska.

An extraordinary report made by Gen. o. o
Howard to the Secretary Of War has been
transmitted to the Senate and duly published.
1t contains an account Of his visit to Alaska
in June last, and memorandum of the
complaints made to him at Sitka by number
of traders and other civilian residents Of the
Territory whom he invited to meet him "apart
" from the officers of the garrison" in order
that he might inquire into the truth of certain
unpleasant rumors. The most important topic
considered at this conference seems to have
been the manner In which the Alaska Com
mercial Company obtained its twenty years
lease and monopoly of trade. The "memoi an
"dum" alleges that fourteen bids for this
privilege were submitted to the Secretary of

THE FRONTIER RAIDS.

When it was announced that neither the
United States, nor the State OF Texas, nor the
Republic of Mexico, was able at present to
stop the passage of cattle thieves and other
maraudcrs to and fro across the Rio Grande,
some ingenious statesmen, of thrifty turn of
mind. proposed to cure the frontier disorders
by moving the boundary into the back coun-
try, where the raiders would avoid the bother
of the rlver and have nothing to cross except
an imaginary line. The remedy suggested by
the Special Committee of the House OF Repre-
sentatives seems to De simpler. Ii Is to post at
least two full regiments of efficient cavalry
along the Rio Grande. /; has dawned upon
the House of Rcpresentatives-though IT seems
to have been only dimly perceived as yet by
the National Administratlon-that we have n
duty to perform in that quarter both toward
our own citizens and toward Mexico. NO
reasonable man doubts that there are outrages
on both sides. There never was border war
i'm any part of the world where theft did not
provoke retaliation, and the scent OF plumber
attract freebooters from both countries alike.
The trouble heretofore seems to have been
two-fold. The ncursions Of the Mexicans and
the failure Of their weak and embarrassed
Government to hold them in check have
created very bitter feeling among the Tex
ans, and public sentiment will not justify the
local authorities in any strong measures Tor the
suppression of our share of the disorders.
This is the first difficulty. But n more serious
one is that the Federal military force on the
frontier is both small and inefficient. The de-
fense of the river is intrusted principally to
negro troops, who, whatever their adaptabiliiy
for other duties, seem to be here of little use.
There is no doubt that the force must be re-
organized and increased. and we see 10 reason
why few companies should not be Withdrawn
from political duty in the reconstructed States
and sent where they can do the most good
Senator Morton can be trusted to keep down
the impending Shareholders rebellion for few
months longer.

lowest, $65, 900 year, was that OF the Alaska

customs officers, into the character and stand

were said to be entirely satisfactory. Inc
Alaska Company nevertheless protested against
the award being made to them, and the mat

prosecute plunderers. The man who devotes
himself to the public service in connection
with such questions as these will grow
in strength year after year, and the
very people who shout for dema-

come back to the patient and faithful states

unscrupulous enough to lead nor weak enough
to follow in such chase after will-o-the-

There appears to be no prospect that Great
Britain would regard favorably Senator Shcr-
mans proposed monetary unit for transactions
with this country. The English are evidently
too conservative to tolerate any other coin
than their own being made legal tender
in the United Kingdom. A similar OBJ
lection would probably be urged horo against
making the sovereign the unit of our coinage.
1t is generally conceded that there is no pros
pect that any one of the leading nations will
adopt standard of coinage like that of any
other. The most practical scheme yet offered
is to make an international coinage founded
solely on the basis of the metric system.

A letter from the Rev. Edward Beecher, ana
the correspondence between Mrs. Moulton and
her counsel, which we publish to-day, give the
two sides of the question as 10 the failure OF
tbe Mutual Council. There are now three va
rieties of public opinion on this subject: that
the Church did and Mrs. Moulton did not want
the Council; that Mrs. Moulton did and the
Church did not,-and that neither did. The
controversy on the subject gives the chance to
those most interested to free their minds some

Since the electors who are to choose the
Senators in France number in all 42,94l, 1t
is obviously difficult to determine how the
new Senate will be constituted. Estimates are
rendered more improbable by the likelihood
that coalitions will be formed similar to those
which enabled the Republicans to elect
majority of life Senators in the Assembly.
The comparatively democratic basis of the
system of election is the best assurance the
Republicans have of securing fair number OF
