The Trenton True american is engaged
in the logical undertaking of proving that
Frederick A. Potts is not paying as much tax
on personal estate in New Jersey as be ought,
and that he is not citizen of this State. If
Mr.. Potts is not citizen Of New Jersey he
could hardly be expected to pay tax here on
property taxable according to residence in
another state.
However, Mr.. Potts is citizen of New
Jersey and he pays tax on his farm and on
$4,000 of personal estate. The balance of his
means being invested in stocks and real es-
tate outside of the State, of course be pays
where the property is located as far as 1t is
taxable Some of the stocks are taxed to the
companies and paid by them.

LEON ALBEIT ON THE TARIFF

About as silly an attempt MS we have heard,
tendencies on the tariff question, was that of
Leon Albeit, at the Democratic meeting in
this city, last week. To say that the gentle
MAPS remarks on that subject were honest,
is TO disparage his intelligence. He knew he
was stating what was false, or else he is
utterly ignorant of the action of Congress for
the past two sessions.
Mr.. Albeit said in his speech that the fears
created by Republican orators that the tariff
woald be tempered with to the detriment of
labor, were groundless, because the Demo-
cratic party had been in power in both Houses
of Congress for two years, and they had not
altered the tariff in any wise That was
sufficient guarantee that nothing of the kind
would be done.
Now, while the gentleman was saying this,
he doubtless knew very we'll that Fernando
Wood introduced bill into the House two
years ago, materially altering the tariff to the
injury of home industry. That bill created
great excitement among the various manufac-
turing interests attacked, and committees
from the pottery, the iron, paper making and
other interests were sent to Washington to
protest against the bill. The bill was practi-
eally smothered in committee, and Democratic
free trade sheets and Southern members
charged that Speaker Randall had selected
tariff men in the appointment of the commit
tee, aud in that way killed the bill. The
honesty of Mr.. Albeit may be judged from
the above statement OF facts.
Does any working man feel it safe to
trust the entire control Of the government to
a party that fayors a tariff for revenue only"
well knowing that the more the tariff is low
cred the larger the importations, and there
fore the greater the revenue. That kind of
tariff means the closing up of home manufac.
tories, or the reduction of the price of labor
20 that received by the working men of Eu-
rope. Is the Democratic party so important
70 any man, that he is willing to sacrifice his
business interests OF his wages TO secure its
success

Mr.. Leon Albeit says the tariff is only a
side. issuep So far as Democracy is con-
cerned, perhaps it is. The principal issue
with them is to get into power and Office
But with workingmen, and manufacturers,

for nearly $4,4OOOOO. Caleb Cushing
rendered an opinion that the omission
Of March 3 repealed The restrictions Of
Jan. 8, and that Congress evidently saw
that the restrictions were imprscticable,
and "impliedly instructed the Board of
Public Works to proceed as before in the
execution Of its general duties under the
organic act of the Legislature Of the Dis
trict." 1t was at this session of Con-
gress that President Grant nominated
Caleb Cushing for Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The people Of the District had now be-
come thoroughly aroused. Through W,
W. Corcoran and other leading citizens
they pray ed Congress to make an inVes-
tigation. In an insolent communication
to the Senate which Hannibal Hamlin
presented and commended, Shepherd
denounced those citizens as pretended
taxpayers," and coolly informed Con.
gress that he did not want to be investi.
gated But the Committee was ordered.
In entering upon this investigation it
was discovered, first of all, that the
Board of Public Works had diverted
$215,5482l from the school fund, thus
depriving the teachers Of their pay for a
period of eight months. It was next
found that Shepherds last claim for
81 056, ,574 36 for work done on the ave.
nues was made up by including all the
work done since 1802-s period of 70
years, and, moreover that 1t had been
settled by the appropriation Of March 3,
1873. They found that the charge OF
81, FAC, ,68l ,8S as the Governments share
of the sewer work was 1904, ,826.60 more
than the entire cost of that work,
and that enough to pay for it had pre-
viously been raised by assessments on
private property. They found that
Babcock's accounts and N measurements
were unreliable and inaccurate" and
that the provisions of the law were not
complied with in their letter aud spirit"
The Committee, in speaking of the
job which De Golyer Garfield secured
from the Public Works, said: "Any
system which would enable an adven-
turer to come from a distant city, and in
the name of contracting firm, make
profers of 30 cents yard to any person
having, or supposed to have, influence
with the Board, whereby paying con-
tract could be secured, and after persist.
ent efforts succeed in seCuringa contract,
and actually binding his principals, the
contractors, to pay $4,000 for the con.
tract of 100000 yards of pavement, after
an effort of five months to secure it, the
gross amount to be received being only
about $700,0 900 in it's nature must be vi
cious, and ought to be condemned"
They found that the bonded debt of
the Board of Public Works was at least
$4,000 Gt was really $20O0O), instead of
$4,000, TO which the act of 1872 limited
it, The floating debt of the Board was
$l1 ,497 96l.13, making q grand total of
nearly $31 100000.
In conclusion the Committee recom-
mended that the District Government
be abolished, and that three Commits.
sioners be appointed by the President,
with the consent of the Senate, to wind
up it's affairs investigate it's accounts,
&c. These recommendation were en-
bodied in a bill which soon became
law.

DESPERATE EFFORTS TO RAISE THE WIND.

DESPERATE EFFORTS TO RAISE THE WIND.
When the District Legislature met in
April, 1873, the Territorial Government
was virtually bankrupt. Its greed had
80 far outru6i its discretion that, notwith-
standing all the raids it had made in
Congress, it's credit was at low water
mark. Every dollar realized from APP
preparations, from taxes, and from the
sale of lands had Deen Immediately COB.
bled up by the thieves.
The District Legislature proceeded to
authorize the issue of $2,0OO,00O of debt
certificates based ON uncolleCted assess.
ments. The late Caleb Cushing was re-
tanned by Mr.. Shepherd, and readily
rendered an opinion to the effect that
these certificates represented the in.
debtedness of private property owners,
converted into negotiable form for con.
venience sake by the Board of Public
Works, and were not, therefore, part
of the District debt. The proceeds of
these certificates we're very quickly con-
sumed, but the demand for money con,
tinued unabated.
The ring now entered on it's largest
and most scandalous job. 1t resolved to
issue bonds for the nominal purpose pf
paying for main sewers throughout the
city. But before this idea entered the
dull brains of the thieves the sewers
were almost completed and had already
been paid for by assessments on private
property. 1t was now resolved, howev-
or, to levy general tax for this purpose
and to charge against the United States
for its proportion of the work the enor-
nous sum of $2,74O,6Sl.83. These wor.
thies were always particular about the
odd cents, for 1t gave an air Of accuracy
to their audaCious charges. II was sub.
sequently found that the whole cost of
these main sewers was less than So 500,-
900. The Legislature adjourned on the
26th of June, after authorizing the issue
of securities in one shape and another
to the amount of $5,091 ,67897. In their
mad haste to realize ready money on
these securities the Ring did not hesi-
tate to hypotheCate them at fifty Cents
on the dollar.

best to comply with this order, but
failed. The jury disagreed. While the
trial was in progress and the evidence
against the accused had established his
guilt beyond all question or cavil, Ulys-
ses s. Grant invited Richard Harrington
from the prisoners dock TO public re-
Ception at the White House, where, In
the presence OF hundred astonished
guests, he took special pains to treat
him with distinguished consideration
Thus the Territorial Govern meat went
ont of existence in blaze of infamy, its
crimes condOned, It's vices extOlled, and
its criminals sheltered by the President
of the United States.

SHEPHERD AS GOVERNOR OF THE DIS.
TRICT.

ThlOI.
Alexander R. Shepherd entered on
his duties as Governor of the District Of
Columbia about the lst Of August, 1873.
Cooke, the outgoing Governor, failed in
September, and among bis liabilities
we're trust funds Incorporated.
One Of Governor Shepherds first acts
was to borrow $225,OOO from Morton,
Bliss & Co. of New York, with whom he
pledged $450,0O0 of the per cent. sewer
bonds as collateral. In December, 1873,
when Congress met, Governor Shepherd
transmitted through President Grant a
statement coolly setting forth that the
General Government was indebted to
the Board Of Public Works in the sum
of $4 $40. 1874, and he added: ut is
earnestly hoped that Congress will make
immediate provision for the payment of
its indebtedness to the District, in order
that the necessities Of faithful contrac.
tors may be promptly relieved"
To understand the audaCity of this de-
mand it must be remembered that the
act of January s. 1878, contained pro.
vision that the Board of Public Works
should make no further improvements
till Congress had appropriated th money
to meets its share of the expense. This
prohibition was as plain az words could
make it, When the appropriation Of
March 8, 1873, came up for discussion in
the Senate, Mr.. Cassevly called attention
to the fact that the prohibition against
further expenditures was omitted. But
Cole of California responded: "This
bill does not operate as a repeal of those
restrictions" Then, rs Mr.. Casserly in.
sisted that it be inserted, Sawyer of
South Carolina, said; "The Committee
have no objection to putting in any safe.
guard in this bill that is in the bill of
Jan. g." The President of the Senate
then said; "Vith that understanding,
II there be no objection, the amendment
will be agreed to-" But In the engrossed
copy Of the bill the amendment was
omitted, and, on the strength Of that
omission, thus fraudulently and surrep-
titiously made Shepherd based his claim

Qist, Charles A. Eldridge, Democrat, OF
Wisconsin, who, from his long service In
Congress, exerted considerable influence
till the TACT was revealed that he was one
of the original members of the Real Es'
tate Pool, which he entered with the
understanding that he should have the
profits, but that his name should be Kept
secret. The chairman of the committee
was the notorious Henry H. Starkwea-
ther. The report of the majority was
accepted by the Ring as vindication
OF its work, and it entered refreshed'
upon q new career of piunder.
