A Case Like IIayes's.

We are indebted to the report Of CARL
SCHUHZs Indian Bureau Investigating Com
mttee for knowledge Of n fraudulent at.
mnistration, in Il small way very much like
that of Mr. HAYES and his Cabinet. The
Eastern Band OF Chcrokocs in North Carolina
elects its chief 10y popular vote. In July,
1878, such an election was heidi and one
LLOYD K. WEIGH was declared Chief in
spite Of charges that he had been counted
in by conspiracy Of white men and In
dans belonging 30 other tribes. The agent
for he Eastern Band who had nctod ~ pre-
siding officer at their electoral convention,
believed the election "a bee fraudulent. aud 80
reported to the department at Washington.
A statement was drawn up and signed by
eight hundrod out of the thousand Indians
IN the Band protesting against any rocog-
uition OF WEIGH az Chief, and asking for n
new election. The ingenious ZACuAItAH
CHANDLER, who was then Secretary of the
Interior seems 10 have constituted himself
an Electoral Commission, and to have de-
cidcd, 10y u unanimous vote 81 one, that he
had no power to 90 behind the returns.
The papers, protests, and anlayits were
sholVod in the Office OF Indian Commissioner
SMITH, and were subsequently, purloincd or
destroyed. Meanwhile, the Eastern Band
Of North Carolina Chcrokccs continue To-
suffer undcr the administration of an cx-
ocutlyc whom they never cWtod. Mr..
SUHuM's Board of Inquiry is clear and
positive in its notion Of what ought b be-
done in this ease. The Boards report says
IT'S clear to the MINDS Of the members OF the Board OF
inquiry that an investigation by eourI or commission
appointed by the frtsld w, should be made into die
questions IN controversy, from the tact that the welfare
M the Eastern Band OF North Carolina chcrokees has
been ieopardedsy tho delays ~ settle them.n
Will Mr.. HAYES take immediate steps "

upper floors with about 100000 pounds OF
wool, and the front wall of the GREEN
FIELDS building was separated from the
sides ready to fall. It is proved that an i'm
mense sheet OF flame shot up from the
chimney, and out of the basement grating
at the instant Of the disaster. What was
this sheet Of flame, that lasted but moment,
II IL was not carbonic oxide gas gene
rated In the defective chimney IL is also
proved that such gas ~ generated when
furnace Is banked with coal. In such a case
tho furnace is turned into gas-making
machine, and IL il only necessary TO admit
common air to make the gas highly cXplo-
sive. The last seen Of the engineer was
when he was going TO bank his fires, and
the body of the fireman, found nearest the
boiler, showed that he had raised his arm
across his face, as Il man naturally would
when Il flame suddenly burst out into his
face.
Tho conclusion from all the facts seems
inevitable that these sub-sidewalk boilers In
cities are very dangerous, unless the CHM
ncys are run up as nearly perpcndiculaily
as possible, and care Is taken that the fur
naces shall never be clogged with uncon-
sumcd coal, so that no explosive gas may
accumulate. Tho Barclay street disaster
reveals a new peril in cities that must I've
met by Just such action as the Fire Com
mlssioncrs proposed, but which Is clearly
the duty of the Department Of Buildings.

Costing Much More than it Comes To.

The report of the Register of the Treasury
for the last fiscal year shows that a large
rctrcnchneut in the expense Of keeping up
useless and extravagant ports of entry is
not only practicable without the least in
jury to the public service. but Is necessary
as a measure of roh,rm. Many Of these
ports are mere political appendagcs; that
is to say, they are maintained on account Of
the patronage connected with them, and not
for the sake Of revenue or for advantage to
commerce. Take an Illustration, in the port
of Frenchman's Bay, Maine. The receipts
from customs were. during the fiscal year,

The Newspapers and the Preachers.

The Rev. DR.. joins HALL spoke on Sunday
with some feeling about the criticisms of tho
newspapers upon the church for its harbor-
Ing Of bad men. He contendcd that no
amount of money would purchase church
membership for n man who was morally un-
sound
We do not deny the truth Of this. We think,
however, that DR.. HALL was wrong when
he twittcd the newspapers with not having
themselves exposed the scoundrclly church
members whose conviction rs forgcrs and
rmbczzlers has given rise To the present dis
russslon. Though the newspapers did not
directly bring To light the crimes Of these
religious frauds, they yet contributed to
their discovery and punishment by persist
emily and vigorously dcnouncing the loose
commercial morality which has been so
prevalent since the war. They gave the
public warning, and moulded its opinion
and sentiment, SO that a sort Of thievery
committed by respectable men, and which
hitherto has gone unpublished is at last Wis
tied with the penalties OF the law Did the
churches lend hand in this good work
We're thcyas earnest TO push it forward as
the newspapers?
For years The SrN has been stigmatizing
ny their right names those thievish trus-
toes and rapacious life insurance officers
who have got people to trust them in order
that they may pursue profitable business
ol swndling. As we have PROCEEDED we
have urged the preachers ITO join
III In the attempt to bring these
pious and respectable Peter Funks TO
Just retribution. We have told them that
they sat in the principal pcws OF the most
fashionable churches. and onioned on the
ministers the duty OF stirring up their con-
sciences. We regret TO say that few OF the
ministers have thought it incumbent on
Them to listen to our advice.
1t is not surprising that men should ask II
there is not some fault in the manner or the
matter OF the religious teaching under which
respectable thieves may sit for years with
nut mending their ways. Instead of blam-
ing the newspapers for suggesting 10 them
that their preaching is not producing the
best results, the minister's might better try
la find out what is the trouble with it,
Moreover, lot us remind DR. HALL that II
r. hut very short .imc since he himself
took occasion To aud the chief actor in the
greatest crime Of the century. He spoke in
praise Of the Fraudulent President. without
breathing even a whisper in Pronunciation of
The unequallcd robbery, fraud, and outrage
upon lawand right. of which he il the Great
nrc and the beneficiary, II the newspapers
were not in this matter more fat hful toward
COPS law than the preachers, the cause Of
religion and morality would indeed suffer a
deep injury.

Because Mr.. WILLIAM c. GILMAN and
some other recent state prison convicts
have been conspicuous in the management
Of Sunday schools, it does not follow. by any
means. that men prone to dishonest prac-
ticcs are fitted for Sunday school teachers.
We have read, within few days what
purported to be a report Of an interview
with the venerable TuuRLow WEED, in
which that distinguished gentleman il rep
resented as saying that Mr. RUTHERFORD
Il. HAYES, instead Of being made President
Of the United States, might more appro-
priately have been made President Of Il sun
day school.
We hardly think n man OF Mr.. WEEDS
proverbial sagacity could have made such II
remark. At all events, We submit that II is
very erroneous estimate to place upon Mr.
HAYES character Is man capable of
obtaining Office and its emoumcnts by
fraudulent returns Of votes 10y corrupt bar
gains; by treachory To the party that nom-
mated HIM and tried, though in vain, To elect
him is such II man fit to bc President Of Il
Sunday SCHOOL,
No, unit rs Mr.. HAYES Is to be the acting
President Of the United States, he is no less
unfit to bc President Of II Sunday school.
