greater need was arms and means. II
the citizens desired to lend assistance
they could 80 more effectually by fol-
warding AIMS aud money than by send
ing men. To-day u volunteer company
of rs men orgonized here. This COM

Mr. Simpson to the President
TIE CHARGE OF CORRUPTION AGAINST
THE RHTUBNING BOARD.

TIE CHARGE OF CORRUPTION AGAINST
THE RBTURNING BOARD.
The New Orleans papers bring the full
text of the letter sent to the President
by Mr.. VIM. Simpson, ex-cashier Of GUS
toms at the port of New Orleans, which
document was read as evidence before
the subcommittee of investigation, now
in session In that city. The followingis is
an extract:
"Of course you cannot personally be
conversant with every detail concerning
your numerous subordinates, and write,
therefore, with no feeling of personal
animosity but when tell you that one
OF the members of the returning board
demanded and received $4,000 before
signing the returns-I have it from an
eyewitness, 5000 being paid ia cash
and $1,000 in an obligation, note-you
cannot wonder at the disgust and indig-
nation of an honest citizen who has inn
periled his life and given twelve of his
best years in the defense and service of
his country, when it is all considered of
no value when placed in contrast with
treason and perjury. Do not understand
me, either, as writing in spirit of bitter
and revengful feeling against those who
were formerly opposed to us. On the
contrary, the past with me is long since
buried, and to-day cherish among my
best friends those who were former foes
L only make this reference to submit If
you can, with the least sense of Justice,
indorse the removal of one of those who
has defended his country to make room
for one of those who has sought to de-
stroy it the honorable Secretary of the
Treasury was advised of these facts from
my own pen before he took action on
my removed, hut, for reasons which he
knows best, and Which others may not
be ignorant vi, he'coud stoop to 10 vio-
lence to his own AonSe OF Justice and
right and wrong another"

WILMINGToNIANs ENDEAvORING TO
OBTAIN ITS BONDS.
The Tamaqua, Pa, Herald says -
"Some $40, 900 of Berks County Railroad
bonds are held in Tamaqua. An agent
OF the DuPonts, Wilmington, Delaware,
was in town recently endeavoring to pur-
chase them but was unsuccessful, though
a few sold. The Wilmington & Northern
Line running to Reading, some seventy
miles, are again desirous to control the
road built by the Busbongs and running
to Slatington. 1t would give them a
direct feeder from the Lehigh coal and
slate fields and that is what the Whining
ton people have been after these many
years"

Burnside, who has a summer residence
in Bristol, was seriously injured on the

returned from Washington a few days
ago, and has been in rather delicate
condition for some time past. He has
suffered from the excessive heat of the
past few days, the result being to make
this recent accident take serious turn.

.oURr WAR WITH MEXICO.

The New York Tribune and few other
coniding journals published at remote dis.
tances from the headquarters of all the news
of the day, seem to be inclined to ridicule
the idea of war between the United States
and Mexico. The Tribune is especially
facetious on the subject, and remarks:
The war with Mexico is over. 1t was brief,
and not very bloody. A Washington news
paper displayed most remarkable military en- ..
terprise in taking entire charge of the confict
from tho time II first broke out. A misunder.
standing between the two countries was
promptly brought about, In the best style Of
modern journalism war was soon made in.
evitable then II was actually declared. BY a
brilliant forcthought It had been arranged
that General SHERMAN should be near the
border at the critical time In readiness for an
immediate advance, giving the foe his choice
between instant death aud years subscrip-
tion to The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. And at
this point the Administration calmly remarks
that there isn't any W. !, and isn't going to be.
But this proves nothing. The Administration
would be calm even II there was u war
We accept the compliment embraced in
the 7ribane's allusion to "the best style OF
modern journalism" but earnestly decline
to admit that the war is over. The calm
remark of the Administration to this effect,
and even the denial of "our war for we
suppose 1t is ours, since the Tribune has
given us the credit for it-by Cabinet
officer does not disturb our faith in its pro-
grcss But if THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
is to manage this affair we insist that the
Tribune shall not interfere, as it did yester.
day, by printing the following significant
Associated Press dispatch

suit Of marauders into Mexican territory, II

and the recovery Of stolen property. The In.

been somewhat strengthened by the order sent

reasons the purport OF this order is not given

The Government, We submit, Is also d
little forward in this matter. 1t certainly

Greasers cannot read English, and thei
publication would have done no harm. Or
the contrary, it would have done good, 10
the Tribune would thereby have been as
sured that the Administration is calm, /
not bluntly truthful, even at the yer,
threshold Of war. But as the 7riJun
says this proves nothing.

with the law of equivalents, or the princi-
pies of common sense and justice
1t is suggested that by making money
cheap and irredeemable, thus reducing its
purchasing power, business would revive
under the influence Of such policy. Per-
haps so. But that result would be reached
only through policy of questionable wis
dom. A man who has money that to- day
Is worth more than il is likely to bring to-
morrow, might, through desire 70 get rid
OF 1t, purchase property with IL and thus
make trade brisk and impart q higher
appreciation to the values Of property, real
and personal; but the question is whether
or not such condition of things will Sc
cure permanent and healthy prosperity to
The country. 1t has taken years to bring
the business interests Of the country into
this strait, and it will require time, patience,
and endurance TO work out Of II. The man
uiacture OF a thousand million of green
backs for circulation will help nothing until
they get into circulation, and that point will

thing of equal value to exchange for them
Somebody must purchase these of the Gov.
ernment They are not TO be given away
upon the asking, but he who possesses them
from the Government must render an equiv
alent therefor when he obtains them. Then
they will be on the road to circulation, and
the next man can get his share by purchase
and in no other way, except that he steal:
