tice.
Mr. S. b. Benson, formerly chief of tho
secret service division of the treasury depart
ment, testified before the house committee
on expenditures, in the department Of justice
yesterday. in relation TO the defalcation Of
United States Marshal Hall in the western
district Of Pennsylvania. In speaking of the
present organization of tho United States
district attorneys Office In Pittsburg, he said
that all the work was performed by tho at
torney, Mr.. Stone, and his assistant, Mr..
Wilson, and that Mr.. ID. Cameron, who Is
Senator MitchelPs law partner aud brother
in-law, and who draws salary of $3.50
per annum as an assistant attorney lives
at Wellsboro, Tioga county, about 400
miles from Pittsburg, and renders no
public service. This state of affairs, he said,
had given rise to good deal of scandal in the
district. He also made statement in re-
gard to the failure Of the Venango National
bank, to the effect that when the failure oc-
Cured the bank owed the government
$2s0,000, which was there on deposit; that by
some manipulation tho bank got the United
States to agree to take 200 acres of land in
the oil regions in payment Of tho debt; that
the government had subsequently TO pay old
mortgage Of $4,000 In order to get clear
title to portion of tho land, and that about
two.thirds Of the land was sold after
ward for $4,000. The witness had
heard, and believed, that also "by
some manipulation" tho bank had
succeeded in Withdrawing its deposit in the
treasury of 100000, thus leaving the govern
ment nothing but this oil land in lieu of the
$2S0,000, or, If the deposit was not returned
to the bank, in lieu Of the debt of $1S0000.
In answer to n question by Mr.. Milliken, the
witness admitted that at the time the settle-
ment was made with the bank oil lands in
western Pennsylvania were regarded as very
valuable.

district of Georgia, has asked to be heard in

The arrangements for the Greedy relief ex-
pedition are being rapidly perfected. The
detail for the officers to serve on the expedi-
tion has not been finally determined upon,
with the exception of Commander William S.
Schley, who will have command. A number
of officers have been selected for that duty,
but their acceptance is subject to an examin-
alton as to their physical soundness. Lieut..
William II. Emory, jr., will most probably
accompany the expedition as commander of
the steamer Bear. He has been on special duty
in Washington for some time as aid to Ad-
miral Porter. Among other officers who are
likely to be ordered to duty with tho expodi-
tion are Commander John J, Read, Lieuts.
Colwell, @, A. Bradbury, Samuel Seabury, L.,
X. Reynolds, 8. G. Lemly, and Emory Taunt
and Ensign Usher. Medical officers have been
selected for the expedition as follows Passed
Assistant Surgeon f. II. Green for the Thetis;
Passed Assistant Surgeon Howard Ames for
the Alert, and Passed Assistant Surgeon Nash
for the Bear. 1t is not settled yet which ves-
sci Commander Schley will command. He
will probably command the Thetis, in which
event Compander Read will command tho

The Public Schools and Religious
Training.


Our Catholic friends, and some Others,
will find good, solid advice in the following
extract from sermon by the Jewish Rabbi,
DIR. Huebach, preached on recent Sabt ath
in New York. The question considered was
what course should be taken with the jew
ish children upon their sacred days. The
Rabbi shows that he is good Jew and at
the same time patriotic citizen who appre-
ciates the American public school, and his
patriotic utterance that mo well-intentioned
citizen, Jew or Gentle, would like to see
this system changed" should be Endorsed
by every loyal American:
Il have always urged a thorough observ-
anee Of the sacred days, and 10 nv congre-
CATION, as In my family, have found no diff
Guilty IN their observance. Our children stay
away from school and attend divine wor
snip. A note sent by the parents to the
teacher excuses their absence, but the marks
Tor the days lessons are lost. Now, with a
good deal of noise, but with very little re-
Election, the question has been raised lately.
Should not Jewish children be excused from
Lessons on their holidays? | answer this
question with an emphatic No. Here are
my reasons: Our public schools, as a civil
institution, are based on the principle of to-
tai equality. The education of the future
American citizen is the task: the religious
denomination of the pupil is of no concern.
such is the basis. and no wel-intentioned
citizen, Jew or Gentle, would like to see
this sysl em changed. We, of the Jewish de-
nomination., are certainly the last ones who
wonld like to see our children take an excep-
tlonal position in the school, Have now
system introduced that allows to Jewish
children thirteen days lessons less during
the year than to other pupils, and you Gre
ate a division which will lot fail to mark
Jewish children as a separate class in the
school. No, even If the Board of Education
could and should make voluntarily such an
offer, it would be our imperative duty, in
the interest of American principles and in
the interest of our unimpaired citizenship,
vigorously TO decline the acceptance of such
favor. Let our children learn early to bring
willingly sacrifices for the faithful Practice
of their ancestral religion, and let them learn
at the same time to look from higher stand
point than selfishness upon the sacred duties

Congressman Dingley says he finds the
leading Democrats not at all enthusiastic
over the situation, but on the contrary eau
tious and apprehensive. The narrow mar
gin by which they won, and the many dan
gers that lie III their path, make them fear
full that they will not be able to maintain
their ascendancy, but brief time. Asked
as to the report that serenade would be
rendered to Mr.. B aine upon his arrival In
Washington, and that speech would be
expected, Gov. Dingley said that there would
be no such demonstration if Mr.. Blaine's
wishes were consulted. All that Mr.. Blaine
wants, said Gov. Dingley, is to be permitted
to CONE to Washington, settle down quietly
in his home and to go to work upon his
book. Upon that subject he is enthusiastic.
He harbors no revenges, and is not embit-
tered by disappointment. No one has heard
him say an unpleasant or an unkindly thing
of any Republican who opposed him. Gov.
Dingley thinks Congress will do little be-
sfdes passing the appropriation bills.

There isn't a man in the land who was a
Copperhead during the war but is now
ashamed of it and has on hand some sort of
story to explain away his reasonable talk
of twenty years ago. Thomas A. Hendricks
wants it understood now that his course dur
ing the war was dictated by the highest pat
iiotism and that his opposition to the draft
was simply for the reason that it would not
furnish SO many soldiers as the volunteer
system encouraged by liberal bounties 1t is
safe to say that if in 1864 Mr.. Hendricks had
been half as anxious to make it appear that
he was sincerely supporting the government
In It's efforts to put down the rebellion as he
Ia in 1884, no mistake in regard to his atti-
tude would have been possible.

1t seems that President Arthur had good
reason for his recommendation that a life
pension be given to Gen. Grant. The ex-
President has not only lost his fortune, but,
unless some provision is made for him by
the government, he is likely to be without
the means of living. The fund which was
raised for him by wealthy gentlemen of New
York and Philadelphia has been almost ex-
hausted by bad investments, and the guar
anteed income upon which it was supposed
he would be able to live comfort ably for the
remainder of his life, is likely soon to cease,
the guarantee having been made only for
limited term, which has nearly expired.

to be inclined to repudiate the bargain Of his
manager He probably thinks, ind thinks
correctly, that Tilden's support was hardly

Like all the stories which come from the

are that Mrs. Howe, of Woman's bank noto-

establishment. Her trial and conviction for
swindling and three years Imprisonment in

seem not to have destroyed confidence in
her business capacity or honesty. The

her new institution are apparently as impos-
sibIe IT fufilment as those she made when
she was running the Womau's bank.
