for the private use of the chief of the bu.
reau, except for the few hours the driver
acted as messenger in the Office.
When Mcpherson entered on his du.
ties he made requisition on the custodian
of the building for the construction of 8
new Office and fittings for the same. A
portion of the money appropriated for
| "abor and expenses of engraving and
printing" was diverted from its legiti-
mate channel and disbursed under the
direction of the custodian for this pur-
pose.
The printing of bank notes has been
taken from the Comptroller Of Currency,
in violation of law, and put into this cor
rupt bureau. The printing of the backs
of greenbacks, fractional currency and
bonds have been taken from responsible
and skillful engravers--also in disregard
and violation of law-and is now all
done in that concern; and the revised
statutes have been tampered with 10
make it seem lawful. This concentration
of the printing in the bureau has been
condemned as every way wrong by re-
peated reports of investigators. 1t has
been excused by false pretenses of cheap
work.
! September 25, 1877, in response to ad-
vertisements inviting proposals for
printing the black backs on national
bank notes, bids were received from en-
grayers, and when opened were found to
range from SIP to 1884 per 1000 sheets.
The chief of the bureau offered to do the
work for 1892, two cents lower than the
least bid, and the work was awarded to
the bureau.
An inspection of the bills rendered un-
der this arrangement showed that while
the bureau charged 1892 per 1000 sheets
for the first printing, it charged S14 for
the green printing on the backs, and $40
for the faces; being together S41.92 per
1000 for the three printings, instead of
$297S as, on the basis of this bid, it
should have done. The bureau also OBJ
tanned, in violation Of law, the printing
of the black backs of the legal tenders
by putting in an absurd "bid" of $S.27
per 1000 Impressions. At this rate the
completed notes should not have cost
over $37.66 per 1000 sheets: but the
chief admitted that it was S49.79, and his
own figures revealed the fact that it was
Sl01.15l The bureau accounts are not
so kept as to show the cost of printing
any kind of obligation, and these facts
had to be dug out. The accounts had
also been falsified in various respects.

AN ARMY OFFICERS LETTER.
To give you an idea of the Indignation
that prevails 1 may give the letter of a
British officer to the Standard. He says {:
"The report of the incidents connected
with the death of the Prince Imperial
will cause deep sensation, not only of
sorrow, but of shame, throughout the
British army. In the first place, it was
an act of the most extraordinary reckless
ness to send two young officers miles away
from the support of the British column,
with a scouting party Of six irregular
troopers, white men, and a Kaffir guide.
So great has been the dread felt by the
authorities for the Zulus that they suffer-
ed our dead to lie at Isandula for four
months within sight of military post,
and during this time only one scouting
party ventured to pay flying visit to the
place; and yet these young officers were
despatched many miles into an utterly
unknown country with only six troopers.
1t would in any case have been an act of
objectionable recklessness to despatch
this little party upon such an expedition,
but the recklessness is thousandfold
more serious when it is remembered that
one of these officers is the Prince lmpe-
rial of France. 1t is clear that in his
case the greatest caution should have
been observed, and that he should have
been the very last person chosen for a
service of extraordinary danger Does
any one suppose that, had the Duke Of
Connaught been present with the force,

TIE Baltimore american takes issue with
the sentiment and argument of Professor
LANGsTON's address on the Exodus, and
seems to entertain the opinion that the
ex-saye shall remain in the South and
endure all the ills incident upon his present
condition rather than make an effort to
emancpate himself therelrom. This does
not surprise us. The surroundings Of tn
AmeIicaa have been such as to tint its
views somewhat with the colorings of
slavery Maryland was slave-holding
State, and but for the geographical location
of the seat Of the Government between it
and Virginia, it would no doubt have fol-
lowed that State out of the Union under
the ordinance of secession. II did not go,
simply because it could not but still its
sympathies were with rebellion all the
same, though it was forced by circumstances
TO keep out Of it. Living as it does in the
midst of that sentiment, it is expedient,
perhaps, that the american should show
some Difference TO ii in formulating and
presenting its views on questions kindred
TO the rebellion and its consequences OF
this we make no complaint, but simply
refer to it to show why our cotemporary is
not now among the most stalwart of the
Stalwarts on the question Of the Exodus.

THE idea that the blacks of the South
should remain at their native homes instead
of seeking new ones, and either submit to
the political bondage ofbogus Home Rule or
organize TO resist that oppression, is very
good one-in theory. But the question is,
would four or five millions of whites put
this theory into practice under the existing
circumstances? This theory is based upon
the assumption that they are able to fight
"thc devil with fire." so to speak; that
they can and should out-Ku Klux the
ku Klux, and that they should resent vio-
lence with violence. But those who enter
tain these ideas forget that ever since the
war these people have been instructed
carefully and religiously instructed-to rely
on the courts ofjustice for legal vindication
of their rights, and for redress of personal
and political injuries. This lesson was
assiduously taught by the Freedmen's
Bureau so long rs it remained in existence,
rs well as by the Republican press and
speakers, North and South; and it was a
lesson readily learned by the blacks, who,
rs a mass, are better qualified through the
influences of years and generations of scrvi-
tude to submit to the requirements or die
tates of legally asserted authority than their
domineering white neiShbors are, ever were,
or ever will be. In short, the blacks of the
South are essentially and uuqualihedly q
law-abiding race, and submissive patient
and enduring race-one that will naturally
seek a peaceful solution of their race
troubles rather than assume the risk of meet
ing aggression with return in kind. This
solution, which enables them to avoid dam
ger and evade the responsibility of fighting
for their rights rs citizens, now presents
itself in the Exodus; and they will adopt it,
as many white men would and as it is their
privilege and right to do.
