of the Treasury last month, who said, upon the
authority of the Commissioner OF PENSIONS
that 1895, OOO, 900 would he needed TO meet
the arrears of pensions already allowed or stu
10 be allowed that 7S9,063 claims had been
filed ND TO November !, of which only 12,3'G
had been rejected or abandoned, 4jO,919 had
been admitted. and 26J,57 were then pend
ing. Instead of Els, 1000 600 in all, rs the Com
missioner and the Senator represented, the act
has already cost the Government over
sos, 100000. Only $2I131019 was tho
sum required for pensions in the fiscal year
1873, the year before the act passed, and the
amount was steadily decreasing rs pensioners
died. In the fiscal year 1879, the act having
been in force only five months, the payments
rose to S35, 121,1S2; in 1850 to SOC, 11Il7l,
in 1SS1 to S5O.Oj9,2SO, and the amount
officially estimated for the year ending next
July is $7O,OOOO00. In four years
$211,95793G will have been paid, whereas
SlOS. 600 900, would have covered four years
payments prior to the act, and yet it is officially
stated that $3.50, 100000 more will be required
for the arrears alone.
II is safe to say that neither Mr. ingalls, nor
any other member possessed of integrity or
sclf-rcspect would have voted for the bill II
what is now known had been forcsecn. The
manly course for members is to admit that they
had no idea that such stupcndous frauds would
be pcrpctratcd 10y means of the bill as have
been perpetrated. aud to do what they can at
once to protect the Government from further
robbery. The men who voted for the bill be-
cause they were told that it would take only
SIS. 100. 900 from the Treasury and that
"Conercss would be there to apply a remedy .
if the measure shoulG result in fraud, had some
excuse. Bat any member who now votes
against repeal of the act in the light OF the
infamous transactions which have occurred
since its passage, votes to rob the Government
He votes that claim agents shall continue to 20
about the country hunting for doctors who will
sign false certificates for twenty-five dollars
or more. He votes that honest men shall he
robbed Of their earnings, to the tune of two
hundred millions more, in order to enrich per-
iurcrs and persons who instigatc perjury
Perhaps there are some persons left to whom
arrears Of pensions are reasonably and cqut-
ably due. If 50, Congress can make provision,
by an honest and well guarded law, for the siit-
ing of such claims from the great mass Of
fraudulent claims presented. But the first duty
is to stop the perjury and the plumber. And
the next is to hunt down, prosecute, and punish
to the utmost limit of the law, the persons who
have dishonorod the name of Union soldier by
robbing the Union.

This should be borne In upon the public mind OF
this State. Tie Legslai ure has been drawing on
the State Treasury for support for nearly three
weeks, and not particle of public business mas
been done. This Is Democratic reform Leu the
people contemplate 1t.
We have not yet heard or seen any denial from
ex-senator Thomas G.. Plat Of the explicit state
ment by The TRIBUNE as to the exact nature of his
pledges TO vote for Judge RobertSon's confirmation,
If Mr. Pat has any denial TO make, will he be good
enough TO makeit at once and make il so there can
be no skulkng out of IL when the overwhelming
proof IS produced.
That is an important admission about the Misss-
sppi election which we quoted yesterday from The
JicksbUg HTdld The Democrats claim TO have
carried the State by - 600 majority but their lead
ing organ says that with fair election they would
have had somewhere between 5000 and 10000.
That IS there was a confessed theft of $4,000 or
10000 votes. The question at once arises, Why
was 1t necessary TO steal any if there was an honest
maortyl The only answer possible is that the
Democrats feared they would have no majority at
all if they did not cheat This shows how vague
The HraIFs claim of 5000 or 10000 votes is The
party confessed by its cheating that it feared de-
feat on fair vote. The HFald estimates tho votes
whether there were not really 10000 or even
3oOoo' Its confession gives away the whole
Democratic case, and u,tliirS the claim OF the Anti
BOurbOns that they carried the State.
Let 1t be understood once for all that THE TmB-
UNE has no idea of going away from the Republican
party because Gutcau has changed the man at the
helm. 1t proposes to stay In the party, and to dem
onstrate whenever il Is necessary that the bullet of
an assassin did turn the party to the posses
sion of its enemies; give a license to any subor-
dnate to reverse the will OF the people and the
action Of his principals.
1t seems to be a trle nopportune for Mr.. Tilden
to put out his annual Presidential adv crtisement at
the tmv when John Kelly is sitting on top Of the
New-York Democracy and thumbins his nose at the
universe.
The Garfield sneall-slandercrs are not calling for
documcu,s' any more They seem to have be-
come satisfied before the fight really began.

UHOLESALE ROBBERY.


Senator Beck doubtless desires the repeal OF
the Arrears of Pensions Act. We trust that he
/, so sincere and earnest in that desire that he
viii not permit himself TO lie drawn into barren
debate about the motives of the men who
passed the bill. No good can be done, at least
to the party which that Senator represents, by
treating the enactment as a deliberate and in
territorial robbery. The bill was one of the
most outrageous frauds ever conceived, it is
true. But Senator Beck viii undoubtedly find
ii more oxpedcnt to treat it rs fraud practised
upon Congress than as fraud perpctrated by
Congress. For the bill originated In Demo-
cratic House, consisting of 1876 Democratic to
1877 Republican members, and in Democratic
Committee appointed by Speaker Randall. In
the brief debate jim the Senate, it appears that
Senators Voorhees, and Herman were at least as
urgent and Jealous as Senator ingalls,. who had
the bill in charge Mr. Herman said he :" de-
sired very much to see this bill become a law
and Mr. Voorhees, took especial pains to i'm
press the Senate with the idea that the bill
would make no important change in existing
law, and that if it did not work rightly, Con-
gress would be there to rcmedy' the evil.
The truth is that the measure is a disgrace TO
Congress, but principally because many MEM
bers voted for it who did not know what they
were doing. They stopped 10 be denagogueS,
when, if they had known the nature Of the bill,
some of them at least would have had The cOur-
age to be patriotic statesmen.
This bill was passed by lalsehoods. Whether
the fal~ehoods were told by members OF Con-
grcss or to them, by the then Commissioner of
Pensions or to him, is not just now the vital
question. The vital matter is to get the act
repealed, OF so modified that it shall cease to
rob the country past endurance. Strict justice
would require the immediate repeal of the act,
the stoppage of all payments provided for
under il until each case could he fully inVcsti
gated and the prosecution of every person
found To have dciTaudcd the Government by
means of it, For a larger and more outrageous
swindlc wa, never perpcuated than this act has
proved TO be.
When Senator Ingalls, called it up for final
action in the Senate, according to the report
printed the next day;
He explained that the Commissioner 81 Pensions
states that up 10 the lst Of January 1876, there were
l6l54 invanls 70 whom the BIN applied, AMI the amount
REQUIRED 10 pay them arrears would De S9j-371J. Ia
addition TO the above, 5IlJ widows and dependents
would be- entitled TO the benefits OF the act requiring
S8ss7 334 makinga total Of S134l7,l09 required TO
make the bin operative. since the datc Of this conn-
nication TWO years had elapsed and Mr. ingalls, esti-
mated that S5,OOOOOO should be added to the above
amount.

cptvD .TJ7Py INVESTIGATIONS.

II was a theory prOpOundcd by the present
District Attorney before coming into his once
that it was the privilege and the duty OF thc
public prosecutor to institute inquiry DJ the
Grand Jury into the condition, not merely OF
the prIsoDs and other public institutions OF the
county. but also into the management OF the
various departments Of the City Government,
fine Police Courts, etc. Mr.. McKeOn may we'll
look into some of the departments and learn
why the heads permit such laXity as exists in
them.
There is a Police Board and large police
force, with numerous Captains, several Inspect
ors and a Superintendent. That Board has
list of habtual violators Of the Excise laws, but
it takes no steps to enforce those laws against
the offenders. 1t has a list Of at least one
hundred gambling houses in this city, whose
proprictors are well known to the Superintcnd-
cnt, Inspectors and Captains. They know, and
their subOrdinatcs know that tits illegal to keep
gaming house, and that professional gam
bier is legally an habitual criminal; yet they
not only do not arrest such criminals and sup
press such illegal places, but permit them to
carry on, with scarcely prctence OF conceal
ment. bu,iucS, which the law distinctly calls
Il crime The Governor of the State recently
called the attention Of the late District
Attorney and of the present police officials to
the fact that foreign lottery companies, none OF
which were or could be lcgalizcd in this State,
and two of which were prescribed by the States
which had originally chartered them, were
openly and in fragrant defiance Of the law car
rying on fraudulent bushes, III this city, and
required them to suppress it. The police have
done nothing toward thai end, and evidently
do not mean to do anything. An emphasis 10
the Governors orders might well be added by
a Grand Jury after a brief inycst CATION which
the District Attorney can direct II 10 make. lie
has only to send for the Captains Of the two
lower precincts TO obtain ample evidence to
indict the whole Police Board for permitting
number, of gambling houses and lottery Offices
in Broadway, Barclay and Ann-sts. to prey
upon the foolish and the credulonS. Let him
try it at any rate, and see what virtue there is
in such a pressure, since other miider means
bpyp tlilpd
