A HUGE FRAUD.--Tho failure of the
Mechanics National Bank of Newark,
New Jersey, on Monday, the 3lst ult.,
proves to be one Of the hugest robber.
les that has been pcrpctrated in mod.
ern times. The cashier Baldwin
squandered the capital stock of the
Bank $500, 900, surplus fund s46O, 600 /;
National Bank notes, S4s0,O00 and
100000 Of deposits. The Govern.
ment experts who are overbauling the
books OF the concern put the loss down
in round numbers at S2,600,000.
Reader, think Of it Iioo million sir
hundred thousand dollars spent by one
man in four years, and never attracted
the attention of the President Direct
ors, or any body else The cashier
was bailed out OF prison in the wee
sum of s25, 000-lcss than one.tenth Of
the sum he had stolen. A full account
of the transaction is published on the
first page cf this paper. Frederick
Frelinghuysen has been qualified as
receiver of the Mechanics National
Bank of Newark, his father, ex.Sena.

THosE HYPooRITEs.-Two years ago,
when the Radicals in Congress were
hopelessly in the minority, they nomi.
mated a negro ex.Congressmau from
South Carolina (named Rainey) for
Clerk Of the Federal House of Repre-.
sentatives, He was, of course, not
elected. Learning that his party
friends will have majority in the
next Congress, which meets on the
first Monday of December, he came
early to the front and put in his claims
for the Clerkship, receiving good
deal of encouragement from the New
England members and those from the
Northwest. But il seems now that
the bosses have taken the colored gen.
tleman by the top.knot and led him
outside of the ring, and in his stead
introduce Mr. Edward Mcpherson, late
Of the Philadelphia Press, and several
other white chaps for that position.
Rainey's boom is "busted." This is one
of the moral frauds practiced and
brought to light by those who vond
"grand moral ideas" and preach the
equality of the black and white races.
Such demagoguism and knavory
among proiessed statesmen is disgust.

THE CUSTER MoNUMENT.-The work
Of erecting on the Custer battle field

harnessed to each runner of the drag,
making twentyiour mules - four

top stands fourteen feet above the top
OF the hill. Its centre is within six

A LUCRATIVE BILL According to
an estimate by the Indianapolis SENT.
mel, the illness and burial of the late
President involved an expenditure Of
about $4,000. OF that SUN s2I7 600
were spent at Cleveland and Sl0O, 900
during the patients struggle for life,
Mr.. Garfeld's Private Secretary, Mr.,
Brown, kept tho run OF things until
the fatal termination. lie says that
the doctors bills probably will prove
TO be $4,000, aud that the average
daily expense approximated sl,2oO.
The sick bed expenses, as Mr. Brown
thinks, will be borne by Congress, and
there seems TO be settled conclusion
that the s2I7,0 incurred at Cleve-
land are to como out Of the Ohio State
treasury and Cleveland people. The
decorations in Cleveland cost sl03, 900 I;
the accommodations, 100000; the
arches, $4,000 the catafalque 81, 900 (;
the music, $4,000, and so on. The
transportation of the remains from
Elberon to Ohio was the work of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
which, il is understood, will make no
charge, Accompanying the estimate
of the sick bed and funeral expenses is
statement that Mrs. Garfield is
likely to receive pension Of at least
$4,000 a year, which will make her in.
come about $4,000.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY's Love FOR
THE SoLDIER.-J. f. Wilson, Union
soldier, has been postmaster Of Lynch.
burgb, Va, for several years. He had
two brothers killed in the Union army,
and he had an eye shot out and was
shot through the shoulder, rendering
one arm powerless. He is, and always
has been Republican, but he refused
to support Malone. For this reason
Malone demanded his head. Presi.
dent Arthur removed him and nomi-
mated in his place an ex rebel soldier
named Statham. The Senate refused
to confirm Statham. As soon as the
Senate adjourned the President ap.
pointed him. This, to assist the Re-
pudiators in Virginia, too. 1t is the
true inwardness of the Republican
party's love for the soldier.

GRAVEYARD lNsURANCE.-We notice
that the Harrisburg Conference of the
Lutheran Church, at their recent ses
sion in that city, passed a resolution
stating that since "the evils resulting
from what is called speculative or
graveyard life insurance have become
so grave, having not only led men to
disregard the life and welfare of fel.
low.men, but even violate the ties Of
relationship and homes, and since the
root of the evil lies in a spirit OF avarice
and covetousness, we, as ministers Of
the Gospel and members of the Church
of Christ, do hereby express our un.
qualified disapprobation of this deplor.
able evil and should seek to enlighten
our communities in this nefarious bust.
ness and should teach healthful things
on growing sin of making haste to be
rich, even at the cost OF principle and
the sanctities of life and honor"

show themselves about tho bar rooms

ing something Of their old swagger
and bravado. The counsels OF whole
nation were not heard, OF were dsre.
garded, and before the President was
buried his successor had taken the
oath of office, surrounded by his old
stalwart companions, and from that
day forth he has had no other com.
panionship. The country can accept
with what good grace it may the fact
that not with it, but with them, has
the new President resolved to abide
and to be guided not by its advice,
but by theirs

The IMPERIAL GUARD.-The Wash.
ington Register says; A morning co.
temporary, in referring to a case OF
accidental shooting near the Capitol
Tuesday night, states that "0ficers
King and Marks WERE ON GUARD at
President Arthur's residence" &C., &c.
This pretence of personal danger to
President Arthur, by keeping officers
"on guard" at his residence, is the
merest bosh, and the President will
best preserve his seli.rcspect, and
command the confidence and respect
of the people by dismissing his guards
and dcporting himself like other gen.
tlemen OF character.

A CARD WANTED.-The Baltimore
American, the "stalwart" organ of the
Maryland Radicals, puts in a growl in
this way in relation to the Star Route
trials. The editor says at is sad to
know that the prevailing sentiment is
that Mr.. District Attorney Corkhill is
rather lukewarm in his prosecution Of
the Star Route gang. Mr.. Corkhill
should write a card. The case de-
mands it, A number OF Washington
correspondents also file objections to
the conduct of the District Attorney
in the GuiteRu case Several call upon
him to resign.

SETTING IT UP ALREADY.--The an.
nOuncement is made, on the alleged
authority of Governor Foster, that
Blaine is to be the next candidate of
the Republican party for President.
1t is supplementary asserted, on the
authority of ex.Secretary Sherman,
that Governor Foster is booked for the
second place on the ticket. The kind.
ness of the gentlemen in arranging this
little matter will be appreciated by a
bewildered public and the fact that
an Ohio man is to be dragged to the
front will soothe the feelings of those
who dislike to see the politicians of a
great State neglected by their country.

Private STORAGE wAREHousE.-A

PRIVATE STORAGE WAREHoUsE.-A
special Washington telegram TO the
Philadelphia Times, Il few days ago,
says:
The discovery has been made that certain Sem
ators have been in the habit OF using portion Of
the Senate wing Of the Capitol for the storage of
their private household goods. Desks, cradles,
tables, chairs, clothes baskets, trunks and hun
dreds Of other articles are stored in these rooms
which are located in the basement. They are
hauled there 10 Senate wagons, stored free Of
charg and carried back to Senator'S residences
when needed. While this saves paying rent IL
causes a good deal Of sarcasm at Senatorial ex-
pense, In view OF the fact that the want Of room
for the transaction Of public business has been a
standing complaint.
1t would seem from this that grave
Senators are good deal like some
other peoplo-got along as cheaply as
possible.
