Moralizing upon the Fall River defalca-
ton, and referring to the prominent posi-
ton heretofore held in society by the de-
faulter, the Boston Traveller of the 18th
says:
1t will not do in this enlightened age to
pass lightly over the crimes of defaulters and
holder thieves because they have been hon.
ored members Of religious or social circles II
will not do to indulge the sentimental view,
and overlook great offences, because the Of
fender has done some good in the world. On
the contrary, the man who has been brought
up under good moral and religious teaching
so that he is fitted TO teach his neighbors, il
more infamous as defaslter than the COM
mon thief would be. He adds hypocrisy &c
theft, thereby charging his capacity for mis-
chief; and he violates every principle OF his
education, thereby doing more injury to 50
| ciety than the offences of a score OF common
scamps could do.

She went before the investigating commit
tee of Plymouth Church and with wonder

OF domestic infdelity, and underwent

their esteem. When the council of 1876
was called several interviews were arranged
between her and eminent gentlemen, both
OF the clergy and of the law. In every case
she satisfied them of her absolute innocence.
subsequently, at an interview arranged for
the purpose OF giving permanence to her

in mind that she first charged me with this

she subseq lently renewed the charge that

State or section only upon the previous knowledge
of the Executive branch or the simple recommends
tions of private persons while there is brought To
bear for the candidates of other States and sections
the powerful and personal solicitations of Senators
and Representatives, whose gratitude for success
may be drawn upon i'll an emergency. or whose dls-
appointment in failure may prejudice them against
some most necessary measure recommended by the
Executive.
1t can he easily SEEM too, that there would be no
gain to the public welfare if the practice OF foOw-
ing the volunteer recommendations II Senators
aud Representatives were to give place to the IN
uence of private cliques to business brokerage
in Offices as it is said has sometimes happened.
1t is not probable that the fitness of
persons appointed would be increased by such
change as this and is clear that the responsibility
of the promoters of such appointments would be
less as they would be less easily ascortaned, and
would not have so strong motives TO satisfy public
opinion as those who had been elected to the House
or Senate by their fellowcizens, and who are gem
orally supposed to desire fresh proofs of public conf
dencc.
With the vast extent of our territory and its pop
ulaton, the number of placehoders has OF necessity
become very great, and the means of personal or
other knowledge of men by the Executive branch
has proportionaely decreased; and in the same de-
gree the evils of patronage, i'll whatever hands 1t
practically exists is increased think these can be
greatly mitigated by an entire cessation by Sen
ators and Representatives from volunteer adj
vice or solicitations respecting appointments
and by the establishment by law of definite regula-
tons respecting selection for many offices and en-
Payments, and the terms upon which they shall be
held so that the Executive branch and the legsla-
tive bodies NAV be and feel perfectly free in their
respective Spheres and that the holders of Office
may feel also, that they the servants of the law
and not the personal tenants at will i'll their places
of either heads Of departments or congressman

fBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNEJ
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The work of the Appro-
priatons Committee of the House is not as far adj
vanced as had been expected. During the re-
cess it was reported that the Legislative Bill
which ordinarily is the first presented 10
the House, was completed. A member OF
the subcommittee charged with the preparation
of that bill says that it has scarcely been touched;
and that so far rs lie concerned he has not looked
into n book Of estimates during tho recess. Inc
other bills are not in advanced state and scyeral
members of the committee say that the real
work of the Appropriations Committee is yet 20 be
begun. About the only advantages gained by the
extra session are that the Paris Exposition Bill has
been disposed of, and will not occupy SIX weeks III
discussion as the Centennial Bill did; and provision
has been made for the Army and Navy. Another CIR
cunstancc which will facilitate the progress oil tue
bills is that the the Democrats in this Congress VIII
not have To revise the plans of a Republican Con-
gress as they did two years ago. Then every item
in every bill was sharply contested. Now they have
only TO revise their own work.
