In yesterdays paper we made
some mention of Steinberger
and his mission to the Samoan
Islands, We felt that there was a
missing link somewhere, but our
ynsuspecting nature prevented its
discovery. 1t is all out now. There
is nothing more to be told in that
connection, 1t was Babcock; Bah
cock, the very evil genius of public
affairs, both foreign and domestic.
Babcock pf the whisky ring and all
the rings on the planet, and as far
beyond as Saturn--to the fixed stars.
We have had ..'the wickodest man of
New York." aside from Boss Tweed !;
we have had the serpent in the Gar
den Of Eden ). we have had most
everything bad in history, but never
since the fall of man was there the
like of Babcock. No doubt he has
caused the Indian outbreak in Ari-
IONA in the interest of the post-trad-
ers. We are satisfied that the war on
the Rio Grande is his work, and the
next war in Europe will be rightly
laid to lin. Observation-Disclosures

New York, April ia Herald
Washington special says of Revenue
Agent Phillips report about whisky
and custom frauds in California /;
The general understanding is that
the Senators and Representatives of
California have absolute control of
the offices and those who held them,
hence the Civil Service is utterly
debased, venal and purely personal.
No sooner did Agent Clarke, per-
fectly honest officer, arrive than
Sargent filed charges against him,
but the afiidavits were of a charac-
ter that precluded their use. Clarke
is above suspicion and beyond pur-
chase. Supervisor Hawley reported
in full on this matter, and the at
lacks on him were for the pur-
pose of securing the removal of
honest public officers who We're
proving troublesome to the revenue
officers and distillers engaged in
plundering the Government. Re
lying on this representative omnip-
otence, efforts will be continued to
crush all who try to expose them.
The executive power OF removal is
regarded now as an invasion of
Senatorial rights in California, and
California taxpayers and citizens
are powerless. The regal power of
Senators and members protects dis
tillers, wholesale Liquor dealers aAd
revenue officials, let them act as
they please. After prolonged in
vestigation evidence has been dis
cove red OF frauds in 1865 and 1868
and 1869, amounting to 81, 500, 900.
The men thus caught furnished
some of the affidavits filed by Sar-
gent against Clarke. The report on
the condition of revenue affairs in
San Francisco is of an exceedingly
unfavorable character. ~

manager Of the Grand Trunk declines

the agreement heretofore existing be-
tween the roads. Other circumstances
have recently occurred calculated to
disturb the harmony of the pool lines
and the managers will now protect
their own interests, A great railway
war may be expected. Several roads
have already reduced fares and
Eeights, and others will follow suit.

Congress and the Currency.

Among the kilograms from Wash
iugton, we find the following interest
ing paragraph:
The bill to supply the deficiency in
the Printing Bureau of the Treasury
Department and for the issue of sub
sidiary silver coin in place of frac-
tional currency, came up and the
Senate amendments were concHrred
in. The bill now goes to the Presi-
dent for his signature
That the President will sign the
bill, there can be little if any doubt.
1t is also reported that Senator Jones
will deliver his long-talked-of two
days long, speech on the currency
question next week. Will not the pas
sage Of this bill lessen the interest in
his remarks! The effect of the bill
will be most keenly felt by the peo-
pie east of the Rocky Mountains,
where the sight of hard money, out
side of nickel pennies and five-cent
pieces, has been unknown since be-
fore the rebellion. In one respect,
the fractional paper currency is con-
venicnt---its lightness. But it is a
ragged sort Of money, and the marks
of its valuation are easily worn off,
so that about one-half of it in circu-
lation requires close inspection,
even in daylight, to distinguish one
denomination from another. On the
other hand, silver stands generation
Of banging round, and the different
sized coins are recognizable by the
touch. Altogether, we think the
people Of the older States will take
kindly to the new departure. We
do not believe that, even if the Fryer
process accomplishes all it claims,
silver currency will ever fiuctuate to
SO aggravating an extent as the green
back currency of the country. In
short, we believe that there has been
no real caese for the recent great de-
probation IN silver; that it is chiefly
the result of q panic or alarm. Those
who make dealing in money a
business are doubtless more or less
guilty of creating the sensation over
silver, aud which has been rapidly
subsiding of late, regardless of what
Congress might do in the premises.
If the effects of this new currency
bill prove as salutary as generally be-
lieved, the present dilly-dallying
Congress will have redeemed itself TO
as great extent, in the estimation OF
the people, as the metallic currency
provided will have redeemed the rag
baby remains of the rebellion. The
new departure, too, will acquire adj
ditional cclut from the fact OF its
being the Centennial year. The eff
feet of this return to specie payment
ought to so long way toward in
surfing the success Of the resumption
act of last Congress, to 60 into opera
ton in 1879.
