now say that the Grand Jury at Albany,
which found bills of indictment against
Senator Sessions and the others, was
packed by Conkling, OF course they
claim that Sessions and the others are
innocent; that they did not attempt to
brihe, or If they did, there was nothing
wrong in it. Their culprits are always
model Christian men, even if they are
gamblers and cutthroats.

An Inquiry Complete and Sweeping
to be Made.

WAsH1NGToN, D. c., May 23.-An in
vestigation of the accounts and conduct
OF o. X. Pituey, custodian OF the Ifeass
ury Department, which was ordered by
Secretary Window, is developing some
ugly facts, and involving persons who
have held high places.
Pitney's business is to buy everything
needed in the Treasury, including fur.
niture, carpets, soap, etc. 1t is ascer-
tanned that he has for six years violated
the law requiring them to be purchased
by contract from the lowest bidders.
He has bought from friends and favor
ties without making any contracts, pay
ing them whatever they charged No sys-
tenn OF books or vouchers has been kept.
Everything has been run loosely and
without any sort OF business rules. Out
rageously exorbitant prices have been
paid, ranging from thirty to fifty per
cent. higher than the ruling market pri-
ces and the difference between the mar
ket prices and those paid have been al
lowed to Pitney by parties he purchased
from in tine way Of goods for his own
use. One cabinet maker, named Frazer,
who is regularly employed under Pitney,
testifes that nearly all OF bis time, for
several years past, has been consumed
IN doing work for outside parties instead
of working for the government; that
be spent one month in working in new
house OF one of the highest Government
officials; that he frequently went from
his house to another Of the persons in
the Government employ, some holding
important places, doing whatever they
wanted, and the money paid for bis SER
vices was charged round to the different
Government bureaus. He swears that
he made fifteen fac SMILES of the desk
used by jefferson when be wrote the
Declaration OF Independence, and which
was presented to the Government year
or so ago, that each of these imitation
desks cost $50, the materials for which
were paid out Of the government money
and charged among materials needed
for government uses. These fifteen
desks were given out as presents by Tie
authorities in the treasury to friends.
The furniture belonging to the treasury
has been loaned out on occasions OF re-
ceptions at certain residences. The facts
go to show that a regular ring, consist
ing of the subordiaates OF the treasury,
some OF them holding responsible po-
sltlons, existed, and got benefits from
the loose and reckless management Of
the custodians Office of captain OF the
treasury watch. The appointment of
clerk besides Pitney and his book
keeper, and the storckeeper and Hessler,
who has charge Of the Cabinet making
department. In few instances con-
tracts have been made but not In the
most important and extensive purchases.
Pitney has built him new residence.
The result of the investigation will
probably be number of removals. Ex-
Cabinet officers are mentioned in the
testimony as having had the benefit of
the Government cabinet makers work
at their private residences.

Worth Remembering.

Now that good times are again upon
rs, before indulging in extravsgant
show, it is worth remembering that no
one can enjoy the pleasantest surround
ings II in had health. There are hum
dreds of miserable people going about
to-day with disordered stomach, liver
or kidneys, or dry, hacking cough, and
one foot in the grave, when so ct. bot
tie of Parker's Ginger Tonic would do
them more good than all the expensive
doctors and quack medicines they have
ever tried. 1t always makes the. blood
pure and rich, and will build you up
and give you good health at little cost
