Collector RusselI's Case.

AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED BY SECRETARY
sHERAAN-wHICH, 1T Is HOPED, WILL BE
THOROUGH AND SEARCHING. 2,
Secretary Sherman has ordered an inves-
tigation into the serious charges preferred
against Collector Russell, which will preba-
bly be proceeded with at once. 1t was
stated in an afternoon paper that these
charges against Russell had been previously
examined and dismissed for lack Of proof.
The gentlemen who are now prosecuting
the charges, against Russell aver that The
investigations heretofore conducted by the
Department have been ca parte, and Rus
SELLS statements have been accepted as
conclusive evidence Of his innocence. ~
In the investigation which is about to take
place the Secretary will Of course allow the
introduction; of all the proofs that can be
presented to substantiate the charges of cor
ruption against Russell. Nothing more is
demanded. Nobody is pushing for Rus
sells place that we are aware OF. This
prosecution does not originate in politics.
1t is purely question Of scrutiny into the
past official conduct OF nun holding a re-
sponsible public Office. II he is innocent
he will go forth stronger man than before.
II guilty, il will be for the President and
Secretary to determine whether honest men
are SO scarce as to make it necessary to re-
tain rascal in office Washington Repub-
