THE New York G.uphic is neutral in poll
tics, but is very clever and enterprising in
discovering queer things in the political
arena. 1t has lately overhauled the list of
names published by one of its New York
city cotemporarics, the World, we think,
under the cheerful heading" How HAYES
has paid the men who counted him in "
and pronounces it n small business. In
glancing over the list it says it finds in-
cluded in it members of State Legislatures
and inquiries" What did the President
have to do with their appointments p
But in pursuing its researches it finds O
bonanza in the name of one G. CAsANAvE
which it feels assured includes the greatest
service of the lot. He holds an Office un.
known to the Constitution or laws OF tho
United States, or to those of any State IL
the Union. The officer who appointed hin
to it and every discussing officer who ha!
aided him in drawing his salary is liable u
impeachment and removal. This CAsANAvE
whose political employment in 1876" wa
member of the Louisiana Returning Board
now holds the Office of Brother of United
" States Storekceper, &C." And his salar,
as "brother" is 81, AGO per annum. This
the Graphic thinks, is fiat treason. 9Th
' time has been that men were born broth
" crs, but now in this EZRA of fame they ar
appointed to that position by the Presidcn
"and paid salary for discharging its du
"ties." Why wasn't this grave ollense discov
cred and reported to the POTTER committee

brought before it, and then it would hay
been such a rich plum for Uncle BEN in hi
