Accounts OF District Attorney Bliss.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
WASHINGToN, D. c.. April 2o.-Not
satisfied with the recent disallowance
of S315 in the accounts of District Attor-
ney Bliss, the auditing officers of the
Treasury are going back over hls rec
ords for two or three years. The point
they make is that the District A ito.
ney has no right to charge per diem
except when actually present in court.
He can not charge when he is absent
and repre- resented by his assistant. In
asmuch as Mr.. Bliss did this to the ex-
tent of sixty-three days in his last set
Element, the accounting officers pre-
sumo that he has been doing SO iirl. t
along, and they propose to find out and
insist on restitution. 1t is only fair to
Mr.. Bliss to say that the Department
OF Justice sides with him i'm this issue
which has been raised. The auditing
officers, however, are ali-pOWerful
when it comes to squaring accounts
WAsHINGToN, D. c., May 1.-The
examination of the accounts of District
Attorney Bliss has been going forward
with great care for some time i'm the
Comptroller's office. The Treasury
people think they have found enough
to demonstrate that the law prescrib-
ing fees for District Attorneys should
be materially changed. In this case
the fact is revealed that the District
Attorney has received besides the regu-
lar fees and emoluments of his office I'll e
sum Of Sl4, 1854 for prosecuting land
fraud cases. These fees extend over two
years, and have already been passed
and paid. Although the salaries of
District Attorneys are apparently linn
tied to $4,000 per year, it is we'll
known fact that the District Attoruay
of New York works in fees to the
amount of about S4O,0 900 per annum.
The Attorney of the District of Col
umbia gets from $50, 600 to $40, 900,
and yet when any case of Importance
comes up, like that of Guittau or the
star routers, special assistants are en-
ploFed at enormous rates. The whole
country knows how George Bliss, of
New York, and other attorneys, dur
ing all that farce drew 500 per day
apiece, while the District Attorney
practically did nothing. There is IA
statute which forhits officers of the
Government receiving any extra COM
pensation or fees for so-called extra
work, but the clause which shuts out
every body else says that the section
shall not be SO construed to preclude
District Attorneys fl, IN receiving
special fees for sevices prescribed by the
Attorney General. Bliss would in this
way seem to have been within the letter
OF the law while receiving these hand
some fees for prosecuting land frauds.

"lf Thomas Allen were alive and had
control of the st. Louis, Iron Mountain 4
Southern Railway, as he had in 1877, does
ANYBODY believe its present condition would
exist? No: he would have arbitrated the
strike ere it had forty EIGHT hours exist
ence. The great corporation may yet bitter
ly regret that Hoxie is not second tom
Allen"
So says the REGISTER. Yet it appears to
us like dream, that brother AXE, while Mr..
Alien controlled the "Iron Mountain road"
was no admireT of that great and enterprising
citizen of Missouri. If we are not sadly mis-
taken he had some sort of Il grievance and OH
more than one occasion found opportunity
to numerically criticise what now must ap-
pear we'll directed efforts and endeavors of
Mr.. Allen. We do not mention this as an
offense, but merely to show that time at last
sets all things even.-Cdpe GTdrdeau DEM
Ocrdt.
1t took but short time to vindicate
fine REGISTER in its fight with Mr..
Allen. When he bought the Iron
Mountain Railroad he took it subject to
the provisions of its charter. One of
those provisions required that it be exz
tended "south from Pilot Knob"within
a given time. Mr.. Allen tried to avoid
this 10y branching off at Bismarck. In
defence of the people, whose money
had been used in building the road
from ST. Louis to its then terminal
point-Pilot KIob-the REGISTER in
sisted that in the building of the Bel
mont Branch the law was not COM
piled with, and the rights of the people
ask fairer field for fight? AS between
Mr.. Alien and his employees, the above
paragraph was not the first that al-
peared i'm these columns favorable to
the man whose taking off was dtplored

daughter of the Thomas's of Virginia, of
whom nothing in Recommendation needs to
be said for any of those who have been so
fortunates as to meet one of the members OF
the "Old Dominion's" aristocracy will con-
cur with me in the assertion that they are
the most truly geentee! people that America
can boast, and both the bride and groom are
creditable to their excellent ancestry. Many
