NeWeII'S Threats.

Washington. 22.-The letter of
J. 2. Newell, making charges of
bribery in connection with the pas
sage Of the Texas Pacific land grant
bill in IS69-70, has not attracted
much attention here. Newell will
be examined by the judiciary COM
mittee on Tuesday, to learn what
proofs he possesses of the truth OF
his accusations. 1t is reported that
Newell holds papers which were
formerly the property of one of the
compaDy's managers, who died
without destroying them, and that
these documents implicate seven
teen men who were then members
of the House, and four senators in
corrupt practice. Newell is said to
have heretofore made vague charges
of the character indicated in
his letter to the judiciary COM
but proofs of their
truth have never accompanied them.
The grant to the Texas Pacific,
which it is proposed to investigate,
is not one upon which the land
grant bonds of the company are
based, that grant having been made
by the State of Texas.

Washington ga rather singu-
lar story Of premeditated and Grim
inal negligence in acting upon in
valid pension cases in the third
auditors Office is afloat and is as
signed as a reason for the recent
suspension of Mr.. III. II. Whitney,
chief of the invalid pension division
of that office. The division of which
Mr.. Whitney was chief, employed
about 40 clerks whose duties were to
examine invalid pension claims,
reimbursement claims and claims of
widows and minors. For some
time, here has been much
complaint Of unexplained delays
in the disposition of those claims
causing general embarrassment and
entailing suffering upon widows
and orphans and other claimants
for pensions, which became so
numerous that the third auditor
instituted an investigation. Accord
ing to a report in circulation the re-
suits Of this investigation were
startling. 1t was found that i'm
mense numbers of Gains had been
held back for no Imaginable reason,
some of them being claims long
since audited. Large numbers Of
letters, sealed and directed ready for
mailing were found lying
in Whitney's office, having
been untouched for days and
weeks, and important documents
and notifications were found to
have accumulated to an extent
never before known in the history
of the division. Whitney was i'm
suspended, and has not
yet made an explanation. The Sc
cret of the delay, which is now said
to have been intentional, is alleged |
to be in the determination of |
to cause dissatisfaction |
with the work Of the commissioner
Of pensions. The reason assigned |
for such a course is that Whitney
was displeased at a decision of the |
third auditor and second cOmptrOl-
er some months ago, that the work
If his division should be subject to
ne endorsement of the commits
'iOner of pensions. Prior to the
late of that ruling there had been
10 complaint of the work of Whit
ley's division, and it is asserted.
when that decision was made and
lie found himself practically re-
luced from the position Of head of
/ division to that Of a subordinate,
lie said his only way to get even was
10 hold back claims and excite dis
with the new order in
he hope Of having it reversed.

from the SpectatorJ.

The paper entitled "a Cry from
the Indian Mahommedans" which is
published in the current number Of
the NieetecaM Century, deserves a
more detailed examination than the
cursory reference which we made to
it in noticing the Magazines for
August. There is, indeed, very little
in it which is not already we'll known
to readers Of DR.. Hunters works;
but it derives Importance from the
fact that it is written by Il sincere
and weIl-educated Mahommedan, who
is at the same time a loyal British
subject. mo one" he says, " can
attach greater Importance to the per-
manence of British rule in India than
myself, for [ believe hat upon it
depend, for a long time to come, the
well being and progress of the coun-
try" But he warns us that British
rule in India is exposed to a serious
danger, from the discomfort, leading
to disaffection, of the MussuIman
population OF our Indian Empire,
"a discomfort arising from their
practical, though, of course, %uninten-
t%ionaI, exclusion from the public SER
vice. We believe that the danger is
not so great as he imagines. In the
first place, the Mussulman weight in
India is greatly counterbalanced by
the fact that the warrior classes,
Sikhs, Rajpoots, and Marhattas are
bigoted Hindoos. In the second place,
the Indian Mussulmans are by no
means the Homogeneous" population
which the Syed Ameer Ali represents
them to be. They are divided into
two hostile sects, which hate each
other more than either of them hates
the Infidel; and it has recently come

and will neither pay taxes, break up their

Throughout Egypt there are signs of the
Oriental feeling that the results of battle
proclaim the viii of Destiny, and that the
victor has moral rights. Not only are the
Egyptian officers and soldiers everywhere
submitting, which might be the result of
calculation, but the people have suddenly
changed their attitude. At Zagazig, Gen
eral MACPHERSON reports that the popula-
ton is "submissive,' and in Alexandria
the temper of the people seems to

is, Of course, set down to s|ervility or the
worship Of success; but though those
vices exist, they do not explain all the
facts. Asiatias help the conQueror with
more internal willingness than the con
quered from a conviction that those who
conquer are the proper objects Of service,
that God gives victory, and that He must
know best. Servility will explain the
lip-worship and the readiness to take ser

exaggerated, is probably real; and
for this reason, as well as on the
general grounds of Justice, it is I'M
doubtedIy the duty of the Indian
Government to inquire into the griev-
ances of which the Indian Mussul-
mans complain, and to remedy them,
as far as possible. We fear, how
ever, that that is not very far, for we
believe that the loss of status of
Mahommedanism in India, as else
where, has its roots in causes which
lie deeper than any of those suggeS-
ted by the accomplished Mussulman
who uttors this pathetic "cry from
the Indian Mahommedans," Mean
while, let us hear what he has to say.
The Iahommedans," he tells us,
"possess neither the wealth nor the
education Of the Hndoos." every
community under British rule has
prospered except the Mahommodans,
which stands alone as the marked
and disappointing exception" In
every walk OF life the Mussulman
finds himself jostIed and passed by
the supple and versatile Hindo0.
Instead of monopolising, as he used
to do, all honorable and lucrative
posts in tho Army, the Law, and the
Civil Service, lie sees these appropri-
ated either by EngIishmon, or by the
race over which his fathers ruled not
long ago. The Syed Amoor Ali
shows by statistics chat the proper
ton of MussuIman officials to Hin
docs in every department of State
Is illfnitesimal, and this even in dis
tricts whore the MussuImans form tho
majority Of the population. How is
this startling fact to be accounted
for Ameer Ais explanation is that
we obtained the administration of
Bengal from the Mussulman Emperor
on the understanding that we would
carry out the Mussulman system, but
that we violated the compact. "For
about half a century the Mussulmans
were scr~upulousIy maintained in
their position Suddenly, secretly,
and insidiously, as the Nahommedans
alIoge, the thunderbolt was forged
which was to oyerwhelm with ruin
their status, and power, and privi-
legos." In other words, we abolish
ed the Mussulman system of admin
istration, and substituted the English
system. The author quotes DR..
Hunter in support of his view that
both parties to the contract under
stood" that the English e" would en-
deavour to carry on the Government
Of the country in accordance with the
Mussulman system" DR.. Hunter does
say SO; but he .exaggerates uncon-
sciousIy by using the word contract,
whereas the understanding was of
the vaguest kind, and was certainly
not intended to cover a Mussulman
a%scendancy. And DR.. Hunter also
says something else which Ameer Ali
does not quote. "Our reply to the
charge of bad faith, says DR., Hunter,
'is that, when we came to look into
the Mahommedan Administration of
Bengal, we found it so one-sided, SO
corrupt, so absolutely shocking to
every principle of humanity, that we
should have been a disgrace to civili-
zation had we retained it.
