THE GRATZES" COME AGAIN.

The Investigation which two legislative
committees are making into the rccciverships
of certain nsolvent insurance companies re-
calls an investigation which TIE TRIBUNE in
stituted on its own account some ten years
ago. and the developments thus far of the
present inquiry Indicate that The same sort of
abuses exist new as formerly.
II was rendered morally certain by the expo
s,lres of the Tweed Ring in 1871 that some Of
the Judges then on the bench were corrupt and
that ring of judges and lawyers on large
scale existed. The difficulty lay in securing
legal proof of it, and it was in the search for
such evidence that The TRIBUNE disclosed the
gross abuses of the referee and Iccelvershp
systems of the Courts 1t was found that the
law authorizing the judges to appoint lawyers
as referees to hear testimony and report
thereon to the Court had been stretched to the
fullest while the night to appoint receivers of
companies on the application of stock or policy
holders alleging good reason for such action,
had been so wantonly exercised that many
COMPANIES in reasonably good though not al
ways perfect financial condition had been
wrecked, and the Stockholders, for whose
security the law had been framed, were made
the sufferers by its wrongful enforcement. \
big and dirty nest OF court favorites was laid
bare and their corruption thoroughly exposed.
One reckless justice had jocularly, but in def
ance of the public sentiment which was just be-
ginning to find angry expression, given the
name of "Gratzes to these favored few of the

practice, but who waxed rich and grew saucy

| determined from tho brief dispatch which has
! been received. Evidently the situation must
have been alarming, for otherwise recourse
,yould not have been had to the desperate ex-
Incident of sending Mr.. Glider fourteen hum
! dred miles or more TO the Lena settlements to
TELEGRAPH for succor. The agonizing suiicrlngs
of such ride in mdwinter near the pole OF
Asiatic cold will be readily appreciated
The crew of the Rodgers meann hlle must
have been reduced to a most p;tiablc plight.
Provisions and shelter for six men must have
proved wrctchcdly inadequate for thirty seven
men. AS their single hut was not far from the
winter quarters of the Vega, they must have
encountered the same savages among whom
Nordensliold lived, and of whose life, language
and habits he has given so interesting an ac-
count. The Chukchrs are not a malicious race.
They are peaceablc, honest and lazy-and al
most invariably hungry and impoverished.
During the Vegas wintering their hunting
season failed them and, being reduced to the
verge OF starvation, they were fed with supplies
from the ship. Shrewd at bargain, they
would undoubtedly sell such stores as they
could spare to strangers, but shpwreckeu
crew ght not have Mt command the means OF
barter. I'm their exposed condition and with
their scanty supplies of powder and provisions,
the crew of the Rodgers may have been dcpen-
dent for subsistence upon the good nature OF
these Polar savages. Their situation must,
therefore, be very distressing, if not extremely
hazardous. We are glad to learn that whaler

4 U1RNTNG TO NORTHERN DEMOCRATS.
1t is instructive to notice that the Northern
Democratic journals are speaking of the trials
of balot-box- suffers in South Carolina as pO-
litical prosecutions. As usual they defend the
Bourbons and are very much distressed because
many Of them are standing uncOmfortably near
yawning penitcntiary doors. The crimes that
these men have committed are not mentioned
or considered at all. They are all Democratic
brethren whose only offence is that they voted
somewhat too prolusely for the Democratic
ticket; and when did n Democrat ever look
harshlv upon conduct of that kind Black as
have been the deeds OF the Southern Democrats,
they have never been black enough to restrain
the Northern Democrats from eXcusing and
defending them.
They denied the existence OF the Ku-Klux
and the Red shirts and when those methods OF
stealing control of States were abandoned fer
the tissue ballot, they at once began to defend
the tissue ballot operators. Unless they have
a care now they will be rs badly caught as they
were with the Ku-Klux In the midst Of their
clamorous denas that any such organization
existed. the members of it, having been pushed
to the wall, confessed all their misdeeds and
begged for pardon. The tissue-ballOt operators
are not unlikely to do the same thing The
conviction of some of them has already created
an incipient panic, and if confession will save
the rest of them we are likely to have them on
their knees very soon. There is already talk
of this, and a few more convictions may bring
it about The business of ballot box stullng
has been becoming unpopular in South Caro-
lima for several years, and when once the pub
lie conscience shakes off its stupOr and reasserts
itself there is no telling what may happen.
We venture, therefore, to warn the Northern
Democrats 10 exercise ordinary prudence and
stand from under.
