Mr.. Henry Randall Waite, Of the census
office, has paper in the International Rorieio
for January on "Corruptiblo Elements in the
Suffrage" which has attracted much atten-
tion. The facts and figures arc very properly
accepted rs the best that can be had.
Whether the deductions arc the only ones
that can bo made or not is q question which
need not be affected by Mr.. Waitc's census
Office facilities and his well-earned roputa-
tion for care and accuracy. In order to give
the reader hint of the writer's bent Of mind
it will be well TO quote the closing sentence
of the article before giving the statistics. He
says that in order to make political reform
radical and permanent IL is necessary TO "dc.
prive tho corruptible elements in the suffrage
of their present power for evil, which re-
quires first of ALL reform in the caucus sys-
TEN, or the substitution in its place of some-
thing better, as the result of which the can
didates chosen for suffrage, and then for of
fec, will at least represent the choice of the
majority and patriotism, intelligence, and
honesty equal to that of the greater number
Of those who exercise the right of suffrage"
Tho per cent. of illiteracy is given and
made, with good logic, TO account for the cor
rnptibility by the purchasable vote, and the
following table gives this vote according to
Mr.. Waito's estimate:

Gen. Malone and the Tobacco Tax.
RichmOnd JYhiG.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 10--The bourbon nows-
papers, with their usual regard for fairness in
their report of the senate proceedings, to-day
gave the credit to Senator Beck for the mo-
tion to reduce the tax on tobacco and snuff to
eight cents. The facts are that Gen. Malone
some weeks ago introduced resolution in
the senate reducing the tax to eight cents,
and, under the rules, 1t went over. To-day
il was called up on Senator Mahone's motion
Senator Beck himself arose in the senate
chamber and yielded the whole subject TO
Senator MahOne's direction, whereupOn the
motion TO reduce was passed together with
the rebate feature, which is most important to
tobacco producers Of tho south. Had it not
been for Gen. Mahone's inhuencesand persist
ent advocacy of this reduction, the result
could not have been attained. 1t is a con-
ceded fact that the tobacco interest of the
country, represented by meeting held in this
city, entrusted the whole matter to Senator
Malone, and the action of the senate to-day
in reducing the tax proves the wisdom Of
their selection.

three BINS Affecting Ponsions.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Willis, of KY.
to prevent claim agents from practicing before
the commissioner of pensions under fictitious
Names provides that every person practicing
rs pension claim agent shall file Mt the Office
of the commissioner his full name, place of
residence, street, and number, with certificate
of his honesty from the judge of the United
States court in whose district he resides. The
preparation of this bill was inspired by the
recent discovery of number of attempted
frauds on claimants perpetrated under cover
of fictitious names and addresses.
The bill introduced by Repres entative Dun
nell provides that no pension clerk or agent
shall be detailed by the commissioner of PEN
sions to duty in the state from which he was
appointed.
The bill introduced by request, in the sem
ate this morning, by Mr.. Cameron, Of Mis-
consin, TO regulate fees of pension agents, pro-
vides that claimants and agents living in the
same or contiguous counties may sign con-
tracts allowing the agents S25 in an original
case, or Il Ieopened case whore new disabil-
ity is proven, and $40 for other causes of in
crease of pension, in all cases filed since June
90, 1873. Tho bill further provides that fee
shall be paid in advance Of tho allowance of
claims filed after the bill becomes a law. Mr..
Cameron says the object of the framer of the
bill is to place the pension business in the
hands Of local agents and prevent its absorp-
ton by the Washington agencies.

for argument. He keeps tho illitcracy and
compatibility abreast all through tho article,
aud says:

based on the careful estimates Of those whose
opinion may be accepted as reasonably accurate.
Assuming that the votes subject to monipulation
are not overstated--and tho contrary is.beivod to
be true-the control of one third of the COrrupu-
bic vote in the single city of New York In 1881
would have decided the political control of that
great state Of thirty.five votes in the electoral
college, and of the national government. In the

Complaints About the Distribution q
,hSS Funds TO Creek Orphans.
A reporter of THE REPUBLICAN saw Mr..
Perryman and Capt. Daniel Childers, of the
Creek nation, at the fremont iouse last
night, and learned that she report telegraphed
east aMfew days ago to the effect that the
100000 sent out for the Creek Orphans and
their heirs had been captured by body
of armed mon is not trde, but that it arrived
in ..salety; but in the distribution of tho
amount unfair and INSCRIPTIONS, not to say
dishonest, means were used. One Voc, a clerk
to the government agent, in givinglout moneys
due the Indians, they say, treats those of tho
northern party unfairly. Tho northern
party are those who stood by the
government during the rebellion, and
the southern party arc those who did not.
One Stdham withheld the sum of $500 from
Capt. Childers, eaying he wished to give il
to anu x-confederate. Tho lands cedcd to
the United states government by the Creeks
for thirty cents per acre was in reality sold be-
fore the bargain had been closed for fifty
cents per acre. The Indians acknowledge
that this thing has established bad prece-
dent. The southern party have been en-
party ever since the close of the war, and II
IL does not cease these gentlemen think
trouble will most assuredly ensuo.
