Heads of Departments Pleased with eli
Efficiency of the Clerks. a.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 31.--A leading Det5
ocrat, of this District who has access to thS5
inner circles of the new administration, was
heard to say last evening, that the heads OF the
various departments had been most agreeably
surprised by the efficiency displayed by the rank
and file of their respective departments that as
a general thing clerks were thoroughly equip
ped for their duties, were prompt and indus
trious, and that it would be ruinous to the
service to discharge them and put green men
in their places. The different Secretaries also
said that there were few, if any, sinecures in
their respective departments but that every
employee had about as much to do as he could
get through with, while scores of them had so
much to do that they had to work extra houra
in or der to keep their tables clear When these
gentlemen investigate a little further, and find
as they undoubtedly WILL that the frauds they
have been in the habit of charging were hid
away in the dark recesses of the various depart
ments have existence only in their own fertile
imaginations, they will be in position to con-
TESS that the affairs of the government never
were so honestly and efficiently conducted as
during the twenty-four years of Republican
rule. OF course, they will not like to make
such confession, but the facts that will come
to light during their suspicious Investigations
will compel them to make it.

THE decision of the United States Supreme
Court, rendered on Monday, in the James B.
Wilson case, seems to make imperative the
discharge Of Mackin and Gallagher, the Chi
cago ballot box suffers James B. Wilson
was convicted on information 'for having in
his possession, with fraudulent intent, an
obligation engraved and printed after the
similitude of an interest bearing coupon bond
of the United States The petition for
habeas CORPUS was that no person can
be convicted of an Infamous" crime
unless on presentment or Indictment
of a grand jury, according to the fifth amend
ment of the Constitution. The Supreme
Court decides the exception well taken, and
the prisoner will be discharged. Mackin and
Gallagher were convicted on information 1t
Is apparent therefore, that they cannot be
held, and the good Offices of the honest citi-
sens of Chicago must go for naught because of
irregularity of legal proceedings through fault
Of the officers of the court. The claw is a
great bulwark for criminals, and when the
law fails, some ignorance or failure of the Of
acers may be almost absolutely relied on.

De FREYcINET, the new French Premier,
has already had experience similar to that which
NJ. Ferry has just passed through. At the
outbreak of the Franco-P russian war he was a
member of the Council general of the Depart
ment of Tarn-et Garonne. When the en-
pire fell, in September, 1870, and M. Gambet-
ia left Paris to superintend the conduct of the
war in the provinces, M. de Freycinet was ap-
pointed chief of the military cabinet of the Min
istry of War, with his headquarters first at Tours
and then at Bordeaux The details of the mil
itary administration during the remainder of
the struggle were practically in his hands,
and when the utter defeat and humiliation
of the French ensued he was freely blamed by
his adversares as the one man most response
BILE for the lack of success So great was his
unpopularity, in fact, that he was unsuccess-
full in his efforts to secure a seat in the
Assembly at the supplementary elections held
in July, 1871. Subsequently he published
an account of "The War in the Provinces
During the Siege of Paris" which he dedi-
Gated to NJ. Gambetta, and which provoked a
great deal of discussion and numberless criti-
cisms from the generals whom he had blamed
for different reverses When President Mac
Mahon was forced to submit to Republican
Ministry or to resign, by the result of the
elections of 1877, M. de Freycinet, who had
meanwhile been elected a senator, was made
Minister of Public Works in Dufaure's Cab-
net and he retained that position when the
Ministry was reorganized, with NJ. Wadding-
1879, Immediately after the election of M.
Grevy to succeed Marshal MacMahon
as President. M. de Freycinet was
regarded as the true Republican
leader in the Ministry, and as the
prospective successor of M. Waddington in
the premiership To that place he succeeded
on the 2lst of December, 1879, on the resig-
nation of M. Waddington He held office
until September, 1880, when there was anoth-
er 'crisis,' and the De Freycinet Ministry
went out The cause of NJ de Freycin ct
fall was his foreign policy, and it was resolved
upon the day he opposed General Thomassin's
mission to Greece, as also more definitely on
his replying to the disquieting Cherbourg
programme by the pacific Montauban pro-
gramme From this it is apparent that he
has come to the front at a peculiarly trying
juncture His unpopularity in the Franco
