Mr.. Bay ards Consular REFORM

Secretary Bayard, in his wonderfully
grotesque manifesto Of reform promised
in the Consulate service of the country,
only weakeGs his case when he an
nounces that the service will be i'm
proved in two or three years. From
this we are left to infer that the country
will have to wait that length of time
before the new appointees will be in
structed suffi ciently in their work to
know how to make u reform. In the
meantime, American commerce and the
marine service will have to blunder
along as best they can until Mr..
Bsyard's excellent appointees will be
prepared to commence work where
their predecessors left off. II it were
not for the serious fact that important
and growing interests are involved az
fecting the position OF the U nited States
| as commercial nation, all this parade
| Of virtue would be ridiculous but IN
fortunately there are credulons soul,
who may be misled by high sounding
phrases to which the Secretary is 80
verely addicted, into accepting as genu
inc q spurious article of reform.
The intention of Mr.. Bayard seems t,
be fully set forth in his last manifesto
He informs the public that his new
officials have been given special instru
tions looking to an improvement of til,
scr vice. These instru ctions are nothin
more than the printed rules Of the Con
sulate service that have been In use fo
twelve years under three Republican
Administrations. Butte read this won
derful proclamation which Mr.. Bay ar,
has given to the public, it would b
left to infer that he had hit upon some
I thing new that had been totally disr,
Q garded and left undone by former ad
| ministrations without making ad

THE NATHANIEL SANDS CASE.

 The Ex-Commiss1oner Who APPro-
 priated $75,OOO of the New fofR
 CItV,s Money Twelve Years Ago
 Goes Back to Jail.
 In 1873 MT. Nathaniel Sands was one or the commissioners of taxes for the city or New York and during the year he approprl- ated $75, 900 of the city's money. A CIVIL suit, as we'll as a criminal one, was brought againt him to recover the money sands procured bail and after few days skipped his bond and disappeared. About ten years ago he returned and settled in Norwaik as wealthy man. The old suit was brought against him and judgment given to recover $40, 1000. The matter was put into the hands of Lawyer William K. Townsend, of this city, and he had Sands arrested TOT fraud in not turning over the property whlen it was claimed he owned for attachment ana he was placed in the Bridgeport jail. He attempted to get out on a writ of habeas corpus, but failed, when he again attempted to get out by taking the poor debtors oath, claiming that he had but $17 in the world. hearing on 8 review in the proceedings was held before Judge Hall in Bridgeport yester- day morning. During the proceedings Law yer Warner, Sands counsel, asked tune to consult with his client before the case went on, which privilege was granted, and after long consultation Sands refused to submit to further examinations, and Judge Hall de- cided that Justice Forrest ought not to have administered the poor debtors oath to Sands, and the latter was remanded back to jail tc await suit. Previous to this Sands had re- fused to bring his books and pa pers into court, and when Mrs Sands was summoned as witness she refused to come to court, sending doc, tors certificate stating that she had heart disease As the testimony in the case shows that Sands has from $100,000 to $150, 900 se creted somewhere at the present time, the plaintiffs regard Judge Halls decision yes terday as victory, and feel confident they have discovered fraud enough to keep Sands in jail until he dies or settles up MT. Sands own son is reported as stating that his fathel has money enough to settle if he will Professor William K. Townsend and Messrs Miller and Seymour have done good work or this case, and are deserving of great credit
