What o Collector!

The following charges were filed against
Tuition, the new Collector of the port of
Philadelphia, on the eve of his appoint.
ment:
Afiidavits has been presented to the Pres.
ident from John Lindeniuth and William
G. Trexler, who were employed by Tuition
while assistant assessors of internal revenue
at Reading. Lindemuths affidavit alleges
that he was employed as clerk to Tuition and
performed duties as such, that Mrs. Tuition
spent two or three days per month in the
Office copying assessments lists, for which
she received $500 per year upon making
oath that she performed services as clerk to
her husband. Trexlcr applied for office and he
was informed by Mr.. Tuition that he only
received $50 per month for employment of
an assistant TO do the work. Trexler accep-
ted. He was instructed by Tuition to charge
SO per one thousand for inspecting cigars
From S75 to 800 per month were received
from this class of fees. Tuition paid Trexler
800 out OF those amounts, keeping the re-
mainder for himself. Trexler afterwards said
that he was himself entitled to the entire
amount received from those fees. He told
Tuition that he had learned OF this fact, at
which Tuition appeared abashed, and then
agreed to pay the difference. In making
good the deficit Tuition deducted from Trek
Ter $i5 per month as assessment Cor political
purposes, made necessary by demands from
Republican managers.

1t will be noticed that these data do not
give the actual number of members in either
of these bodies. This is to be regretted, but
perhaps could not have been avoided. Es-
timated by the number of church organiza.
tons, the Methodists have held the front
rank in each decade; the Baptists have
ranked second, and the Presbyterians third,
in each decade. The rank of the Others has
been constantly changing. In 1850 the
Congregationalists were number 4; in 1860
they were number 8, while in 1870 they sink
to number z. In 1850 the Protestant Epis-
copal Church ranked as number 8. in 1860
it has sunk to number 6, aud in 1870 it is
number 3. In 1850 the Lutheran Church
was number q, in 1860 it sank TO number 2.
but in 1870 regained its former place as
number q. In 1850 the Roman Catholic
Church was number 7 4; in 1860 it reached
number 4, and retains that position in 1870
The Christian Church in 1850 was number
s, and continued SO in 1860; but in 1870 il
has advanced to number o. Each of these
bodies has made considerable additions tn
the number of church organizations during
this period of time, but the Christian Church
seems to have excelled all Others in its rate
of increase.
