The offer of Turkey to form an offensive
and defensive alliance with Greece on condi-
ton that she will consent to modification
of the cession of territory contemplated by
the treaty of Berlin, ought to have some in
duence at Athens. Neither power amounts
to great deal in the politics of Europe sin
ely, but together they might be able to WELD
an influence that would be mutually advan-
tageeus. Greece has already acquired sub
stantial concessions from Turkey to which
she was not entitled by any law of nations
or of equity, and ought to be content
especially when, by an alliance, she can in.
crease her own influence among her sister
powers. But the obstinacy she has hereto
fore displayed does not augur we'll for the
success of this proposition.

The very singular case of an Enolisb ladv

THE very singular case of an English lady
trying 10 palm off spurious child upon her
husband as his heir has recently come to
light, the parties being Sir Francis Gooch
and his vito. The attempt was an audacious
one to secure possession of the property of
the baronet, and must have been played with
partial success in order to have attained its
present notoriety. We can remember of but
one similar instance in which the trick was
played. The wife Of prominent and popu-
lar minstrel Of Chicago undertook to fool her
husband in that manner, and was 80 success
full that he did not discover the deception till
a year or more afterwards, when genuine
heir to his estate came upon the stage. It
IS not likely, however, that the dodge will
become popular.

AS we have heretofore remarked, Dick
Thompson's report is the most creditable of
all of the reports of the heads of depart
ments. The figures published in yesterday IS
GLOBE confirm the opinion. He has not
only administered the affairs of the navy de-
partment with economy, but has apparently
displayed rare judgment-for government
official-in his expenditures. The navy is
now in better condition than for many
years past, and the redoubtable mariner OF
the Wabash is able to meet foreign foe
with fleet that would make him quail with
dismay. When our government finally gets
upon its feet financially, it will no doubt see
that his recommendations regarding our
commercial marine are carried out.

A CABINET officer said to-day that while he
did not speak of absolute knowledge, he had
reason to believe the President would urge upon
Congress the necessity of more stringent laws
for the prevention of election frauds, which
will have as much application to the North as
to the Washington Special.
We would like to inquire what right Con-
gress has to pass any election laws with ap-
plication to either the North or the South !?
Ihe several States are endowed by the con-
stltutlon and laws with the power to regulate
elections, and any effort of the federal gov
eminent to interfere is simply an usurpation
But, If that power is conceded to Congress,
we shall be satisfied if the contemplated leg.
islation shall be non sectional. We have

vince one that it is terrible failure

Kellogg Jealous Of Hiss Litta, tho Ne,c A.
pirant for Popular Favor.
[St. Louis Special
1t is alleged here that ever since the first
success of Miss Litta in Chicago, Miss Kel-
logg has become inordinately jealous of her.
On the arrival of the troupe in st. Louis
Miss Kellogg, it is said, wanted Max Stra-
>kosch to .'see the newspapers and arrange
that they should not give Miss Litta the
welcome she deserved, and especially that
they should not award the same enthusiastic
praise to her that the papers did in Chicago.
Max refused, and yesterday this caused quite
q lively scene between the voluble snDresu7s0
and the great American primo donna. Kel-
logg is the head of the troupe, is also prinsa-
donna assoluta, and, besides, is pecuniarly
interested in the venture. Bat it is asserted
she thinks Litta is light too near the
throne, and the enthusiastic enconiums Law
ished on the latter this morning by the press
had increased her jealousy. It may be safe
~ predicted that the "happy operate family
will not remain happy much longer. There
is the prospect of lively row in. the .Stra-
kosch camp. The above facts are obtained
from reliable authority.

TILDEN AND THE CLIPPERS.

A dispatch from Washington states that
the Democratic members of Congress have
resolved upon full investigation of the CT
pher dispatches alleged to have passed be-
tween Mr.. Tilden and his agents in Florida
and South Carolina pending the canvass of
the Presidential votes in 1876, with view
to casting Tilden overheard, and that eau
GUS will be held to decide upon the plan of
procedure. While We do not object to an
investigation, we very seriously doubt if it
will result in developing any more facts than
are already in possession OF the public. e.,
that while Tilden himself was innocent of
completely in the transactions, those about
him, who were his trusted friends and ac-
knowledged agents, were fully aware of the
dlsreputable nature of the business in which
they were engaged, and conspired to right
wrong by committing far greater wrong.
We are most emphatically of the opinion
that even if all the cipher dispatches laid at
their door can be traced directly to the
nephew and confidential friends of Mr..
rilden, that fact will not in the least com
promise the integrity of the Democratic
party. 1t will disgrace the individuals who
participated in the matter, and will convince
the people that Mr.. Tilden, as long as he is
surrounded by such men and in measure at
their mercy, is an unsafe man to be en-
trusted with any Office in the gift of the
people. The public, indeed, without &C
krowledging the truth of all that has been
charged, feels that there is sufficient truth in
the developments t'lus far made to warrant
sucha conclusion, and will not look with favor
upon any movement designed to bring the
sage of Gramercy square again into promi-
hence as Presidential candidate. If an
investigation shall seem to be calculated to
increase this conviction and render it abso-
lutte, we are decidedly in favor of thorough
and searching inquiry such as is contem-
plated.
Mr.. Tilden as a Presidential candidate
must take back seat. While Acknowledge
ing that personally he may be blameless in
the alleged attempt to corrupt the returning
officers and electors Of South Carolina. we
hold that his associations are such that the
people could have no confidence that wrong
would not be committed in his name. The
Democratic party has an abundance of good
men who are as well qualified for the posi-
ton as he, whose surroundings are such as
to inspire confidence instead of distrust.

wipe out the banks. The indications are
that, while at the ensuing session Congress
will discuss the propriety of the abolition of
the banks, the act of absolutely abolishing
the national bank system will be reserved
tor the Forty-sixth Congress. To antag-
onlze the resumption policy with the GER
talnty of defeat either in the Senate or by
Mr.. Hayes veto would manifestly be q
waste of energy, and we have no doubt the
Democrats in the present House will view it
in that light. They can, however, do much
towards paving the way for the abolition of
the national bank system, which can only be
accomplished by the next Congress, and this
should be their settled policy.

The annual report of Horace Austin, third
auditor of the treasury, has been submitted to
Secretary Schurz. The duty Of the third au-
ditor is to examine and adjust all accounts re-
lating to the army, claims for lost horses &C.
counts for unpaid PENSIONS and State war
claims. The report shows that 10, 446 accounts
and claims remained on hand June 80. 1877,
and that Is. 745 were received during the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1873. OF these claims
u, 533 amounting to s46 gle, 237 % were settled
and $2o,659 involving 500. 138, 517.69 remain
unsettled. Referring to the army pension di-

quire constant watchfulness to prevent erron-
eous payments. By executive order dated May
z, 1877, the number of pension agencies was
reduced from fifty-eight to eighteen from and
after July l, 1877. This consolidation saved
the government this fiscal year $142, 1872 in
compensation, and the expenses of consolida-
ton, ordered by the commissioner and ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior, thus
far amounts to $8,79S.17.''

The number of pensioners recorded is 1881 {;
of these 662 have had their pensions in
creased and 1872 are the restored list. Thirty
seven clerks and two copyists were employed
in the Office last year, being three clerks less
than during the previous year. Under the
head of needed legislation, the auditor says:
THE necessity for a fund for special investi-
cation of claims, and authority to cause the
production of witnesses and papers before the
accounting officers in doubtful cases, is
becoming more and more pressing. In
many cases have been convinced that slight
expenditure would probably protect the gov
eminent from un just demands. But unless
fraud is apparent as to justify placing the
case in the hands of the law officers for crimi-
nal prosecution, the Investigation must be linn
tied to such as can be made without expense
by aid of the files, records and accounts and
snch investigation often entirely fails to estab-
fish the fact of the non-liability of the govern
ment, or SO corroborate the ex-parte evidence
produced by the claimant as to free the case
from doubt. or to make the payment of the
claim safe for the government.
