s. Colonel Mosby, of Virginia, who dis
tinguished himself in the late war as
chief of band of guerrillas, Stamped
Virginia for Hayes in the Presidential
campaign four years ago. As reward
For his services, and to convince the
world that rebels who become Repub-
licans are considered more worthy of
Government pap than Democrats who
fought for the Union, Mosby was APP
pointed United States Consul at Hong
kong. Though a. red-handed guerrilla
during the war, Mosby made an honest
aud efficient officer, and exposed the
rascalty of his predecessor at the con-
salate who robbed the Government of
at least $4,000. He directed the at
tcntion of the State Department to the
regulations of Bailey, whom he suc-
ceeded as Consul at Hong Kong; but as
/. no attention was paid to the charges
Which he preferred, he wrote to friends
On the subject and his communication
found their way into the papers. Foo
this irregularity he was threatened with
removal, but the threat was not carried
:. into execution. As proof of the truth
Of his charges, he turned over to the
!. Government, on account of fees collected
by him during the first year of his in.
cumbency of the consulate, some 81 900,
which is several thousand dollars more
than was returned by Bailey for cor
responding period. He is again writing
: private letters on the corruption of
Bailey, one of which has been pub
hshed by the Chicago Inter Ocean, the
most ultra Grant paper published. In
this letter he says that his efforts in
behalf of honest administration in East
ern Consulates and his exposure of cor
Yupt officials are not appreciated by
the Department of State, as he has re-
ceived several rebukes and not word
of encouragement from the Department.
lie says he has been threatened with
:. dismissal for uncovering frauds, but
will not resign, as he wants to give the
Administration an opportunity of car
rying ont its threats, and thereby sig
nalizing its zeal for civil service re-
form, by furnishing the only man whom
it has appointed to office for trying
to reform it.
Evidently Mosby is the wrong man
in the right place, but the frankness
with which he criticises Hayes and
Evarts and others of his superior oifi-
GERS, has not been relished at Washing.
ton, and is considered very destructive
OF discipline. He has done much good
in uncovering frauds which bave been
practiced for long time by American

that the provision of the national bank act,
