tigated Officials.

During the last session OF Congress the commit
tee on expenditures in the Department OF Justice
examined large number OF witnesses relative to
the charges against the government made by
United States marshals, United States supervisors
OF elections and other officers appointed by or con-
nected with the Department OF Justice. report
based upon the testimony taken has been made for
submission to the House OF Representatives upon
the reaSsembling Of Congress 1t is signed by the
democratic members OF the committee. The re-
publican members will submit minority report.
The report observes that there is not much reason
to hope for any great Improvement in the charac-
ter OF appointed officials as long as those who pos
sesS the power OF appointing these oftcerS regard
the oniceS only as rewards to be bestowed upon
their most UnScrupulouS political allies.
The testimony before the committee, the report
says. clearly shows that utter ineniciency and
criminal practices have prevailed In many parts OF
TINS pranch OF the public service for many years
loser thereby. The report discusses, at some
length the ingenious modes adopted by officials TO
accomplish "tbe one unhallowed purpose OF get
ting money they were not entitled to-" such as
counts, making arrests on false charges &c. The
late marshal OF South Carolina is charged with
nine illegal acts during an incumbency OF twelve or
eighteen months 1t is charged that he made re-
turns TO the government Of only about one-lfth OF
the fees and commissions earned by him In civil
cases, and that he presented for payment accounts
OF deputy marShalS, when he knew they contained
false, fraudulent and fictitious items Lengthy no
tiCe Is given OF practice OF deputy marShals OF
evadtng regulations intended for the protection OF
GERS. They then worked up the case as deputy
marshal, signed the afidavitS as deputy collector
and then served the warrant as deputy marshal
The report concludes by recommending the
mite salaries for United states district attorneys
and marshals.

The Alleged Theft Of JeWelry.
JAMES PRICE HELD IN $500 BA1I-How THE WAR

JAMES PRICE HELD IN $5O0 BATI-H0W THE WAR
RANT WAS SWORN OUT.
In the Police Court this morning, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Thomas stated to the court that
James Price, colored, who was arrested yesterday
on charge of stealing s., 500 worth OF Jewery from
his Wife, Carrie Price, the fortune teller, locked
up but that no charges had been filed against him.
Mr.. Thomas wished the court, however; to hold
Price until the matter could be referred to the dis
trfct attorney
MI. Campbell Darlington, who appeared for Price,
asked thot Price be discharged, as there were no
papers against him.
The court said he would be discharged unless
there was something against him. At present he
would be held.
Mr.. Darlington then asked the court to TX bail In
event Of a warrant being issued.
The court fixed the ball at 81 900.
Mr.. Darlington said he hoped that the person
who should take out the warrant would be respon-
Sble as he intended to hold that person TO strict
accountability.
Mrs. Price, later in the day, returned to the
Police Court and had her nine-year-Old daughter,
Mary l. Montague, swear out a warrant, charging
Price, her step father, with feloniOuSly stealing
diamond breastpin, valued at $50, the property Of
Jennie Kenert.
Mr. Darlington denounced the proceeding as an
outrage.
Ball was reduced to $500, in default Of which
Price was committed to Jail
Mrs Price states that part part OF the tewelry al
legged to be stolen did not belong to her, but that
she was keeping 1t for friend.
