The immigration into the United
States during the year 1880 was 5937o3,
by far the largest of any year in the his
tory of the country, Previous to that
year the largest immigration was in 1872,
when the number reached 437,756. The
total number for the ninety years end
ing with 1880 was Io,7I2, ,2o5. 1t is not
improbable the immigration this year
will reach round million.

TH1s is what the Wyandot Republican
(Mr. Cuneo) says of Conkling. 1t is a
radical newspaper, and views the situa.
tion differently from the Repository:
"No salary grab, no credit mobilier,

scoundr elism attaches to his garments,
which is more than can be said of some
Republicans who are clamorous for war
to the knife against him."

The halt breeds come now to bury

TIE term "half Breeds" as applied to
Administration Republicans in New

MORE INVESTIGATION AT WASH
INGTON.

1t seems Secretary of the Treasury
Window was induced to order an inves-
tigation into the management of the
custodian of the U, S. Treasury building,
and though they have been at work three
or four weeks, the committee is not half
through. The custodian is an Ohio man,
o. L. Pitney, who had charge for several
years.
1t seems carpets, furniture, fuel, horses,
wagons, books, toilet articles for the
building are purchased by toe custodian
and paid for direct by him. This af
fords fine chance for fraud, which
seems to have been improved.
Beginning with 1875 it is found that
the amount appropriated that year was
$l44 500; expended $l28. 500 SO; balance
$l5 93357 - showing an appropriation
considerably in excess of the demands
of the Treasury building, 1t wa about
that time that the present custodian en-
tered unon his duties. The folio wing
will show how the Contingent Fund has
been disposed of under his charge:

Large purchases were made near the
close of each year, as though there was a
desire to exhaust the balance Of the ap.
preparation, and, it is assumed, to secure
the percentage. 1t seems that for the
Treasury Building alone there has been
purchased during the fiscal year ending
June 3d. 1880, the enormous quantity of
nearly twenty thousand yards of carpet
| In accounting for this amount, and with
out going beyond the Custodian's book, a
deficit OF seven hundred wards WAS dis
covered several months go by the pres
mt Chief Clerk, caused, as he asCertained
by the withdrawal and resale Of this
quantity to the Government under very
suspicious cirCu I stances. The fact was
at once communicated to Mr., Upton, the
predecessor of the present Chief Clerk,
| but it is said be took no notice of tie
matter, but rather defended the Custodi
an. 1t is alleged that in order to cover
up the deficit an inferior quality of car
net was, after the detection of the short.
age, surreptitiously delivered to the
storekeeper. 1t has been established
that the custodian has been in the habit
of purchasing carpets which were not
only not needed, but in the face of di.
rect prohibition OF the Chief Clerk, Ma
jr Power.
The stable expenses are shown in the
Congressional report to have increased
yearly, although tFe number of horses
and carriages have been reduced, al
though lumber iS known to have de-
creased in value during the past two
years, tt ere is nothing in the reports to
show that the prices paid by the Custo-
dian were reduced. Another strange
circumstance is that the bulk of the ex
penditures have been made with few
favored local dealers at ruling retail pri-
Ces, and without adver sements Inviting
bids or proposals, or a ything looking to
competition. The Gu 'odian has evil
IDENTIFY bougl from v ON he pleased.
Last year eight loCalre Il dealers reCeiv.
ed S62 900 for good boz ht by the CuFto
| dian. The committee l. now engaged in
| taking an account at The Cu5todian's
stock. A barrel of bayrum and lot of
Lubin's perfumes and soap are among
the latest discover es; but what oxplana.
ton the custodian had to offer for the
presence of these articles has not trans
pired. 1t is also charged that subordi
mates to the custodian have, through &c
titious names, secured contracts for labor
al snug price, which was then sub'Iet
to outside parties at greatly reduced fig.
ures.
In TIE report for the last Fl cal year it
is shown that local dealer received $50
for one years subscription (two Coples)
of the N. Y, Times, SIS for one years
subscription five Copies) of the n Y,
Tribune, $45 for one years subscription
(turee copies) of the N Y. Herald. The
item for street car tickets is placed at he
enormous figure of $3.50, or 80 900 tick
cts. Although many yards of new car
pet were purchased for the last fiscal
year, the report shows that it cost ST OLA
40 to clean the old ones.
