DisgraceruI Condition OF the Dead
Unttcr office.

To the EdifCF or The ErcaN0 Critic:
Now that tho war Is going on between the
postmasterGe and the sixth Auditor Of
The Treasury relative TO n change OF quarters
OF the clerks OF the latter to other quarters in
the building, Il would seem TO be good tlihc
for Mr.. Howe 20 look into the disgraceful con
dlton existing I'm relation TO clerks OF the
Dcad-Lottor Oiiice, especially the ladies oc'
cupying the galleries. had occasion a few
days ago TO escort some visiting friends TO
Washington to see tho Departments, and the
Postonlce being so near 10 the people OF tho
country, IL was especially desired to be vls-
tied. on all sides we found luxurious apart
ments with all modern and extravagant ap-
pliances for comfort and case, except In this
one case and what was source OF bittcr com
mont on the part of the visitors viewing this
Department was, that there seemed to be more
real work going on and moro business energy
displayed here than anywhere else In the
building. IL was also seen that the ladies'
were crowded together like sardinos in boxes,
and that the ladies' at their desks had hag-
gard, weary look, evidencing that other causes
than mere labor woro producing very serious
effects upon their health.
So forciblo were these symptoms manifest
that II led TO Inquiries on the part OF the
visitors, and II was learned that these women
are in little better condition than was Sergeant
Mason in his filthy cell The Impure air from
the lower floor is rebreathed by tho occupants
above. The waterclosets surrounding the
room add their stencil, ventilation being totally
unprovlded for. The sanitary condition OF
these people is simply disgraceful, and would
be Condemned by n committee of experts in
unmcasured terms. During our visit IL hap
pened 10 be lunch time. Many of the ladies'
prepare tea at this hour, and, much 10 our sur
prise, we found that the only place where this
could be done was an adjoining water-coset,
which by courtesy Is dignifled with the name
Of dressing-room, and which also is the only
Withdrawing room attached to this Depart
ment. This condition of affairs must certainly
be unknown to the Postmaster-General, or he
would not permit II 10 exist Now, however,
that you have so kindly consented, through
your popular journal, to permit his attention
TO be called to such an unnecessary and un-
healthy condition of tho most faithful and
hardest worked people In the Postof1lce De-
partment. he will have no excuse, and perhaps
no desire, to allow IL to be longer continued
The recent removal of the Money-Order De-
partment furnishes ample room in the build
ing 10 at once correct the shameful existing
condition OF these patient and deserving
clerks. ZUNI,

TO THE PUBLIC.

So many eStravagant statements have gone
forth regarding the accident to the Navy De-
partment elevator, that we deemit 1t our duty to
give the above extract from the report of the Ex-
aiming Board. The simple facts are that the ma
chinery, which passed out of our hands three
years ago, was found by the Board in bad condi-
tion; that the driving belt of the engine was not
able to hold its load that it slipped the pulley
and the car descended to the bottom-not at a
dangerous speed, being held in check by the safety
fixtures. which proved entirely reliable, and per,
formed just the duty for which they were designed,
saving from harm the seven passengers and car.
After an experience of twenty-five years in
building Hosting Machinery, having constructed
the greater part of the rstclass passenger eleva-
tors throughout the United States and many in
foreign countries, we desire to say THAT NO PER-
son HAS EVER BEEN INJURED UPON ONE OF
OUR PASSENGER ELEVATORS! When we further
state that IT is estimated that upwards of FIFTY
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE ANNUALLY CAR
RIED ON OUR ELEVATORS IN NEW YORK CRY
ALONE, the magnitude of our business may be
imagined.
Very respectfully,

GASOLINE, manufactured of coal oil, is

ONE of the satraps of Four.and a.half
street has said that there has been a fair
division of the money expended on streets,
in accordance with the taxes paid on real
estate. This is not true, even counting the
buildings and improvements which are the
result of the expenditures on the streets. If
the satraps had selected almost any other
portion of the city and improved the streets
as they have those of the favored section,
the result would have been that the own
els of the real estate would have built good
houses.

The Evening critic., 1882-04-25

THE DECISIONS of the courts in the Kill
bourn case at its various stages have been
criticised by the provincial press as a
wrongful denial of the right of Congress
or its committees to exercise judicial func-
tions IN the prosecution of their So. called
investigations Under ordinary circum-
stances a display of ignorance by provin-
cial editor on any subject need not excite
comment; but in this case the provincial
editors ignorance appears to be shared by
numerous SOlons with whom it may be
worth while to demonstrate. We observe
that quite a number of our Solons-Sam-
randall among them-have declared in
newspaper interviews the doctrine that
Congressional committees have the right
to resort to the same measures which are
in vogue in the courts to compel witnesses
to testify; "else," exclaims Sam, triumph.
antly, chow can we investigate ,"
Well, the fact is, Sapient Samuel, you
can't investigate; unless your witnesses
are willing-like Shipherd, for example.
There is rot in the Constitution or in
any law based thereon a shred of authority
for the assumption of judicial prerogatives
by committees of Congress, except in the
one case of the Committee on Elections,
which is inferentially clothed with power
to ascertain in a quasi, judicial capacity tho
facts involved in election contests, or in
proceedings for the expulsion Of its own
members. Other than this Congress has no
judicial power under the Constitution, ex-
cept that expressly vested in the Senate
sitting as a high court of impeachment I;
and even in that case the judicial capacity
is carefully separated from the legislative.
When one looks back over the dismal
history of Congressional investigation for
the past ten years, the acquiescence of the
public in the assumptions and usurpations
of committees becomes amazing. There
have been no less than half dozen actual
punishments of witnesses for contempt
in refusing to answer questions, and in not
one Of the cases had the committee any
more right to imprison the witness than
it had to hang him. Congressional inyesti-
CATION by committee was never designed
as anything but mode Of aseertaining
facts ON which to base legislation. Bat
lately the committees of Congress have
gone into all sorts of inquests upon all
classes of transactions, invading every
domain of business and trampling upor
every privilege of the citizen with nj
authority beyond Whereas and Re
solved.
This fraud and nuisance was bound to b.
exploded sooner or later, and it has hap
pened that she Kilbourn case was the in
strumentality. The wall Of the Sapien
Samuel is natural. No doubt host o
lesser demagogues will also bewail the dis
appearance Of the abuse Of power, whicl
alone gave them opportunity 10 pose a
keformers.' But honest people will hal
the action of tho courts in the Kilb0urr
case a the rebuke Of justice to usurpation
uttered none too soon.

THERE is one act of justice which Con-
gress should do before it adjourns. The
widow of General R. B. Mitchell is pre-
vented from obtaining pension by mere
technical objection. Bob" Mitchell was
one Of the bravest soldiers that ever did
battle for his country. He was In the
Mexican war and in the War of the Rebel
lion. He was wounded almost score of
times. At Wilson Creek he was wounded
five times, several balls passing entirely
through his body. He never was in health
afterward, although he did gallant service
in the Army until the close of the war.
His death was as much attributable TO his
wounds as if he had died on the field, yet
his widow cannot get his pension. He died
poor man, which of itself is almost dis
grace to the country for which he did such
gallant service. Congress should at once
come TO the relief of his family aud grant
the widow major generals pension. 1t is
debt due the memory of a man who won
his stars by many acts of gallantry and
patriotism.
