NOT TO BE LOST SIGHT OF.

The question of morality or simple
honesty raised by the recent exposure of
the traffic called ''ticket-scalping," ought
not to be lost sight of. We are willing
to concede that there may be trade in
precepts of honesty, but it is certain that
the evidence of wholesale and extensive
frauds is so conclusive as to cast the
whole business under suspicion. 1t is
said that in some localities the scalpers
have dies and stamps, and that they
manufacture and forge the tickets, and
are thus able to undersell the railroads.
This is quite as bad as counterfeiting
money or forging draft. But even this
is not the worst phase of it. They are
often not merely dishonest themselves,
but the cause of dishonesty in Others.
They employ secret agents to seduce the
conductors and train agents into selling
the tickets taken up on the train, SO that
the scalpers may sell them over again.
Conductors who had hitherto borne un-
blemished regulations have yielded to
the temptations for theft artfully prepar-
ed for them by the secret agents OF the
ticket scalpers. Every man who deals
with the scalpers runs the risk of help
ing on this infamous complication Of
swindling. When he buys ticket from
scalper at price considerably below
that demanded by the railroad, the prob
ability is that he is buying stolen proper
ty and becoming receiver of stolen
goods. No man of sufficient honesty to
be trustworthy in ordinary business af-
fairs would consent to place himself in
such a position. Nor can any man Of
business now plead ignorance of the ma
ture of this nefarious traffic. 1t has been
so fully exposed and forced upon his at
tention that hereafter he who buys a
ticket from a scalper aids and abets a
traffic which nas been shown to be ini-
quitous in most of its operations.-BGt-

MILITARY IDEAs.--In the account oi
the late reception of the President al
New York, Gen. Sherman, in reply to a
toast to "The Army and Navy" Is repor.
ted as having indulged remarks to the
effect that, "withOut an army the
American people would be mob-thal
a government cannot subsist without an
army, and a good one too" SC. 'ii Z.
Such remarks may BIZ true of the GOV.
erpment of the Old World, but, applied
to this country. it $50 preposterous that
one may be permitted to wonder IL Gen
Sherman, in the assumption of his sanity
made such uttsrances. b CAN'T be po 81 1ls
that tbs "a commander-in-chlef Of &
nen, MI t6IdJ ahd (which might be ad.
vantageously reduced, to 10000 men, can
stand up and, proclaim that a govern,
ment like ours cannot subsist without an
army, such a one at least as he desires
and that unless we have it the forty mil
lions Of citizens of the United States, are
"a mob?" If these are the ideas held by
our army officers and taught at West
Point, the sooner those aspiring souls
are brought to their senses the better. II
Gen. Sherman will read the history oil
his country he will discover that the sys.
TEN Of the United States bases the de.
militia of the, different States, and on
volunteer armies raised as occasion
demands. 1t is by them that all our great
wars have been mainly fought, and the
standing military force ha, been chiefly
employed in preserving order among the
Indian tribes of the West, and, when ne
cessary, defending the settlements. Now
that the most Of these tribes are surren-
iering to the authority of the govern
ment we need less of q standing army
perhaps than ever: but the military
school at West Point, garrisons for our
forts, and frontier guard must still be
maintained. Yet the commander-in-chief
of handful of regulars, who could not
keep possession of a single large city OF
the United States II the population were
disposed to dispossess them, has the a.,
surance to say that, unless the govern.
ment were supported by an army. the
American people care mob!" Gao this
man really suppose that it is only because
the government OF the u nited States has
an army that the people of this country
are prevented from relapsing into politi-
cal and social chaos? If he does. and il
Sociates, no better proof could be given
of the hopelessness of endeavoring to
imbue men of that vocation with an ap.
preciation of civil government There
are, however, bright exceptions to this
class in our army. Gen. Sherman ought
to know that the American people, even
in achieving their liberties, relied upon
armies raised for the occasion, and over
those who had standing armies; that they
have always relied upon afreelnilitia for
their support in war; that they are accus-
toned to self-government; and that" II
they ever should become ga mob" it is
likely to be more in Indignation excited
by, the idea of standing armies, than any
thing else. Hi

BLUE AND GRAY.

1t would be impossible to forget our
civil war. Indeed we are not sure that
it Is desirable to blot out Of memory the
noble sacrifice, devotion to princi pie and
bravery in the field which characterized
both armies and made the world ring
with the praises of the American arms.
These recollections come down to- our
common country as an inheritance OF
yalor and manhood to be remembered
above the hatred and uprejuiices which
provoked the conflict. Our country Is
one more united. Every state is free,
The voice of the eoplbissfor reconci liza
tion. The best element of the North is
as earnest and as anxious for the full
measure of brotherly love as the best els-
ment of the South. The Presidents
humane and CONSTITUTIONAL southern
policy ha> accelerated the binding toge-
liner OF the country in q bond of unity
and harmony. Sincere patriots of every
section, forgetting section and thinking
only OF county, have given their hearty
support to every step which looked to
the era of complete Cancellation. 1t was
generous and patriotic inspiration
which led the southern people to sire W
flowers on the graves of the dead of the
war, without stopping to ask whether
they wore the blue or the gray. Southern
orators have paid kindly tribute to all
filled northern graves there have been
hands to decorate their graves too II
WAS in keeping with such sentiments
that certain members of the Grand Army
of the Republican,. this city proposed to
drop floral tribute on the graves of the
confederates who sleep at london park.
They presented their views forcibly, but
the patriotic element was oyerpowered
by a few disappointed ofhceseekers and
their following. One gentleman wanted
"treason made odious," and another had
views, which he took::this occasion to ex-
press, on the ode Kalb, Hamburg and
Louisiana massacres" The opportunity
seems to have been seized upon by q
few soreheads to let the President know
what opinions they have in their little
heads, and what resentment they have
in their little hearts in the matter of his
southern policy. We sincerely regset
that members of the Grand Army of the
Republic should harborsuch uncharitable
feelings toward the dead; still more do
we regret that there were any who en-
deavored to drive partisan trade o ove1
the ashes of the men who have long
since passed away. We hope to see no
such action on the part of the Conferder-
ate society; the thing is too small to be
resented.-BdH. Gazette. n'l.

UNDER existing circumstances, the
Eastern State of Roumania Consisting Of
the Principalities of Wallachia and Mol
davia, close to the Russian frontier) has
in manner been compelled to permit the
Cars troops to pass through it in all di-
rections, and to provide for them subsist-
ence on cash payment for the same. 1t
is stated, too, that Roumania will con-
tribute soldiers to the crusade against the
Moslems, and that the Gear has promised
hat, at the settlement of affairs after the
war closes, 1t shall be admitted as an in
dependent kingkom into the family oil
European sovereigns. Considering that
the whole area of Roumania (45,642
square miles) is smaller than that of
Pennsylvania, there will not be much of
IA kingdom at the best, but the great river
Danube runs through it. The whole
population is under five millions, the
yearly revenue amounts to about S19,-
100000, the national debt to $116,000,00O
and its regular army, infantry and caval-
ry, is about $4,000. There is militia,
also numerous, considering the limited
population of the country. The sovereign
elected in May, 1866, was Prince Carl, OF
the Hohenzollern stock, then 27 years
old, and only lieutenant in Prussian
dragon regiment. The preceding "Hos-
podar," or Lord, who had been elected a
few years before, was compelled, for his
harsh rule. to abdicate, and the represen-
tatives of the people. assembling at
Bucharest, proceeded to new election.
The vacant headship was offered to vari-
Gus persons among others to princes OF
England and of Belgium-but non-ac-
ceptance, however graciously worded, was
the order of the day. At last the Prussian
Prince somehow was mentioned, and he
was elected with scarcely an expectation
that he would accept, but, only too glad
to have the chance, he devoted ten min
utes to packing up his carpet-bag, dashed
off by the next drain for Bucharest, where
he arrived within forty-eight hours, was
accepted by Roumania, recognized by
Turkey, and has reigned ever since very
acceptably as rulers go. He is the first
''man with a carpet-bag" who rose at one
bound from a military subaltern's homely
quarters to throne, and, if the Gar
shall add Bulgaria to his realm by-and-by
ne will then be sovereign with extensive
territory, for Bulgaria has an area of 81, :
900 square miles. In days to come it
may be that the story of Prince Carl, of
Roumania, may form chapter in the ro-
nance of history.

NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE FRAUDS
COMING oUT-REMARKABLE TEsTI-
MONY BY HON. A. s. HEWITT
Hl AND OTHERS.
NEW YORK, May 17.--Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt gave some remarkable testimony
before the custom-house commission to.
day. He stated that in 1870 or 1871 he
was appointed merchant appraiser to as
sist the appraiser in examining 81 cases OF
steel. The law allowed the merchant
appraiser SIS case for every case exam
ined. When witness presented his GER
tificate for so cases to Mr.. Lydecker the
latter said he was only entitled to $35
instead OF $2S5. and refused to give him
more than $35. t.-'.r.. Y n
Mr.. Hewitt said the merchant had
to deposit $40 for each case examined,
and asked if that money was put In the
treasury? Lydecker told him it was none
of his business. To other questions
bearing on the same point Lvdecker re-
turned the same onswer. Mr.. Hewitt
went to see Mr.. Cherish but was met by
the same answers as those Lydecker gave
Mr.. Hewitt then saw some OF the mer-
chants aud they said they never got back
a cent Of their money. When asked why
they did not demand it they replied that
if they did so these persons would make
things unpleasant for them, and they
might just as we'll retire from business at
once. The commission will re-examine
Lydeeker on merchant appraisers fees in
few. days.
Col. q. E. Hall testified that political
influence has demoralized custom-house
efficiency. Incompetent and illiterate
persons are put into positions and kept
there by political influence, and fitness
qualifications are not necessary. No
merchant would hire such men for
clerks.
A. II. Adams, of Troy, N. Y, said he
was candidate for position In the GUS
tom house in 1872, and was examined by
the civil service board of examiners, but
not appointed. He was rated &C 10 to 80
per cent. i'll history, geography and arith-
metic, but at only 40 per cent. in general
aptitude. This, he afterwards learned
meant political influence, and candi-
dates rating high therein were all ap-
pointed.

Dartment,

1t would be folly to assert that the
Republican party fully indorse the
Southern policy of President Hayes,
but what must be most gratifying to
the President is the unanimity with
which the party yield to his views ON
the subject, and their entire confidence
in the honesty of his motives. Should
his policy prove the success he aIticl-
pate, the Republican party will ac-
cord to him all honor, but should II
fail of the beneficent results which ne
