This Is pus,ness.

Secretary Whitney has given John Roach |
and his bondsmen notice that as the agree |
ment TO build the cruisers in certain
time and according to certain specifications
has not been complied with, the United
States will take possession of them, credit
the builder with the work actually done,
and complete them. This will require Mr..
Roach to pay only the difference between
what he claims and what he has really paid
out, and may be considered quite as liberal
terms as he or anybody else could fairly
ask.
Even by doing this the government will
be cheated, in that it will be compelled W
take something it does not want and which
does not come up to its own specifications.
But as Mr.. Roach, after receiving the
bounty of the government TO the extent
of more than ten millions of dol
lars, has thought proper to make an
| assignment, which many well-informed
persons believe to be bogus, it is the part
of good policy for the government to take
what it can get. If Mr.. Roach's defnitive
gratitude had included favors received as
| well 40 ldNoIo eAptCteu, thtle Wouiu HaNc
been no difficulty in making an arrange
ment by which neither he nor the govern
ment would have suffered.
But Mr.. Roach and his attorney, William
+. Chandler, had a point to make against
the changed methods Of the navy depart
ment, and an assignment was considered Q
good way of making it. Even if the gov
ernment does not get the worth of Its
money out of the new cruisers, If will bt
no new thing 1t has seldom done thi'
when dealing with Mr.. Roach during thu
past twenty years. 1t will, however, ge
rid of the contractor himself for good ant
all. And this will bemuch. Whether it shal
build the vessels of the future in its owl
yards or let them out to other contractors
it may be able to get pretty good proper
ton of its moneys worth. 1t is certain l.

LANCASTER. AUGUST s, 1856.
The Great Grant Funeral.

Eulogy has exhausted itself in praise of
the character and services of Gen. Grant.
Preacher, poet, historian and friend have
sung and declaimed his merits and the Bit
terest opponents have conceded his good
qualities and praised his strong points.
Much that has been true has been ftly
said much that is new has been called out
for the enrichment of history and biogra-
ply, and some things that are false and in
i'll taste have marred the solemn ceremony.
But the heart of the whole people is
stirred to profound sympathy with the
event of to-day. The spectacle in the me-
tropolis of the country is one that all its
many millions of citizens view with inter-
est, and the accounts of the ceremonies
will be read with eager attention by the
people of all the civilized world. There
may have been intelligent desire and rea-
sonable expectation that less pomp and
simplicity would have marked the inter.
ment of the citizen soldier and president
but to the popular mind and to the foreign
view Gen. Grant embodied the successful
completion of bitter struggle for the gov
ernment's existence and the conquest OF
peace after prolonged and horrid war.
1t is well for trade and business to some
times stop their manifold activities
and contemplate the transformers o.
earthly things. 1t is wholesome for fifty
millions of people to be inspired at seasons
by common sentiment. 1t is patriotic
for the representative men of all sections
and parties to gather by the bier of on,
who, dead, represents unity and reconclia
ton, then ,e4ty power of a free people, til,
far-reaching Possibilities of great re
public.

The preliminary report of the new com,
missioner Of internal revenue, Hon. Joseph
S. Miller, on the general condition of the ser.
vice, exhibits the gratifying fact that, largely
through the consolidation of the I26 districts
into eighty-five districts and the reduction
of the revenue agents from thirty-five tc
twenty, saving of 100000 in cost of collec.
ton was effected in the fiscal year ended
July SO 1885, as compared with the previous
year. The total collections were about Sll2,
420, Ill, and the cost of collection was 3. 0 per
cent of that sum. Illicit manufacturing is
not sufficiently engaged in to materially de.
crease the revenue receipts.

"SHALLow minds censure everything be
yond their own depth"

PROFESSOR HILGARD has resigned as the
superintendent of the coast and geoditic
survey which, it must be conceded, is q
very good way OF getting out of very bad
box. But the acceptance of his resigna-
ton while his case is still under Investigation
will not strike the public as good policy.
The charges against him and his bureau are
of the most serious order, including drunk
enness and general decentralization, embezzle-
ment, forgery and conspiracy. If these are
true, and his resignation must go far to
establish them, he deserves the severest pun
ishment known to the law, and no sentiment
OF leniency or pity or consideration for age,
attainments or service should save him from
the penalty. So long as there are plenty of
penitentiaries, such offenders should be sent
to them without mercy, just as if they were
the ordinary kind of felons
