The Argus and the Marshal.

The Argus invites the PRESS to correct
its definition of an efficient city marshal.
The PRESS sees no reason to change in any
particular any definition it has already Civ
en-. The PRESS does not believe that city
marshal who daily raids two rum shops, and
allows 29S others to ply their illegal business
without molestation, an efficient city mar
shal; the PRESS does not believe city mar
shall who withdraws all the policemen from
their beats in the night time with the inten-
ton of sending them into another county to
suppress prize fight, which, as it turned
out, the local authorities were able to sup
press without assistance, an efficient city
marshal; the PRESS does not believe city
marshal who deliberately alters a complaint
after it has been sworn to, rather than take
the trouble to hunt up the judge Of the mu-
nicipal court an efficient city marshal; the
PRESS does not believe city marshal who
quashes a complaint against rum seller on
a point suggested by the rum seller him
self, and without consultation with anybody
else an efficient city marshal. The Argus
apparently thinks that city marshal can
be guilty of all these things and yet not be
guilty of anything which reflects on his eff
cheney. Under the circumstances de6ni-
tion of efficiency from the Argus would pos
sess the charm of novelty and undoubtedly
prove highly entertaining.
But the Argus also wants to know what
the PRESS thinks of the conduct Of the pres
ent city marshal, particularly on Tuesday
night, when, to quote the Argus's language,
he conceived the brilliant idea of Selling
some 5000 gallons OF native wine, stored
in huge butts on Plum street, not kept or
Intended for sale in this State' and ex-
posed the banks to thieves and burglars In
order to carry out his scheme. We unhesi-
tatingly answer that city marshal who
should Conceive the brilliant idea" of seiz-
ing liquors which he knew he had no right
to seize ought to be retired along with the
city marshal who Conceived the brilliant
idea' of changing complaint which he
knew he had no right to charge. But the
Argus's question is purely hypothetical one.
1t is not founded on any existing facts. Mar
shall Decelle did not conceive the idea, brill
liant or otherwise, of raiding Mr.. Mains's

That the business carried on by Ferdinand
Ward of the firm of Grant & Ward was
downright swindling has been morally GER
tain for some time, but convincing legal
proof of the fact was obtained the other day
by the production of the Contract books,
which were kept in duplicate in Fish g
Wards Office. The books were filled with
entries of ''oats," ebay" ''corn," and
"pork," which were represented as being
supplied in large amounts to the Govern
ment. The precise amounts were given, as
for example: 100000 bushels of oats, $4O,-
205"; $4,000 bushels of corn, 17,0O7.60."
After some of these entries, all of which
were purely fictitious, were written the
"profits." In one case the contract was
marked "proft $50, 0O0,'' and when Ward
was asked how he fixed upon that sum in
May, when the contract did not expire IN
der the date given till August, he said: sob,
by writing it." The grand jury has begun
an investigation of Wards transactions and
his indictment is probably not far off.

The letter which it was said Tilden had
prepared relative to his attitude toward the
Democratic nomination, and which it was ex-
pected would be read before the Democratic
State committee of New York on Wednes-
day, did not make its appearance. Not a
word came from the Gramercy sage to damp
en- the enthusiasm of the committee for the
old ticket. Tilden is probably reserving him
self for the Democratic convention. Then,
If he is alive. something will come from him.
And 1t is pretty safe to say that it will not
be in the shape of letter of declination.

The Democrats came very near doing
decent and honest thing in the case
of English VS.. Peele. A nights reflection,
however, convinced them that to be decent
was TO violate Democratic traditions and the
next day they concluded that it was better
to stick to tradition and let decency slide.

The New Hampshire Democrats want the
fraud issue' made prominent in the COM
ing campaign. The 'sfraud'' to which they
refer ID the seating of President Hayes in
1915. But if Tilden is nominated some
other fraud issues are likely to become as
prominent as this. The fraud by which Til
den undertook to secure the electoral vote
of Oregon and the frauds revealed by the cl-
pher dispatches are some of them.
