THE CHARGE AGAINST MR.. POTTER AND MR..
The Chicago indictments have made great cora.
motion at the Treasury. including, they do, SO
well known a citizen Mr.. William A. Potter, ex-
Supervising Architect OF the Treasury, and
the present incumbent of that office, Mr..
James G. Hill The former gentleman
is brother Of Congressman Clarkson N. Potter and
a Of Bishop Potter, and bears reputation above
the suspicion of reproach. In answer to questions
as to the meaning and reason Of the indictment. Mr.
HILL in the of interview this evening, said
that it arose ont of the ambition Of Collector smith,
Chicago to control the federal patronage of that
city and based charges preferred by Collector
Smith and Assistant District Attorney Thompson to
the Treasury Department last spring.
"rhe whole thing is an outrage said Mr. Hill,
"and in the Of Mr. Potter will be huge joke
did it from serious source. The alleged
frauds amount to $S00,0OO in an outlay OF
only about sl.600.oOO for stonework, so that
the charge is preposterous. Furthermore, only nifty
per cent of the stone work has been put in since the
close of Mr.. Mulletts term Of Office beyond which
period the indictments do not extend Therefore the
frauds must have embraced all the material used
"The charges investigated last spring by As
ssant Secretary French who reported that there was
evidence of any fraud except possibly between the
timekeepers and the men. The papers, however,
were by advice OF Attorney General Devcns
referred back to the United States District
Attorney at Chicago, and these indictments are
the result. / should not mind SO much for myself
the conduct Of Collector Smith in prosttuting his
position as Associated Press agent at Chicago and
using the newspapers in his own interest but
l think il was an unnecessary and wicked fling
at Chief Clerk Jacobs, an old and honored
official publish the statement that he only escaped
Indictment also by of oversight on the part OF
the Grand Jury. How Mr.. Smith to know that
the Grand jury had committed any oversightT
Mr.. Hill is ready to meet all accusations against
him.
EDIsoN's ELECTRIC LIGHT PATENT
There is no truth in the report that Edison's
application for patent for an electric light was re-
jected There is reason for believing however that
it is delayed by reason Of informalty in one Of
his claims which can be easily amended. patent
cannot be rejected cavcat, and, therefore, the
published statement that it infringement on
patent OF 1S45 is false.

WILLING TO BE IDLE.-ltis calamity whom
able bodied men arc willing to be idle, and 1.-Two
on tho bounty of others. 1t is unfair to those
who have 10 support them, and it is q great
damage to themselves. 1t bclittles q man to
live upon his friends. 1t destroys ones sell
respect, aud when one ceases tc respect himself,
he can hardly expect others to respect him. 1t
has been said that four lifths Of mankind arc
supported by the other fifth, and it is probable
that one half of the dependent four ilfths arc
as competent, physically, to earn their own
living as those who sustain them.
