WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25. 1874.
A New System of Moieties.
The term moiety, in its Badical accep
tation, like charity, is made to cover a
multitude of sins. It is, indeed, synono-
mous with official plunder, robbery and
theft. For more than a week past Con-
!ss has been occupied rummaging among
moieties of the Bntler-Sanbom ban-
and in spite of the reticence of Sec-
Bichardson, have already brought
light villainies involving millions of
Bara, that have been plundered from
treasury and transferred to the pock-
of the ring. Besides the immense
sums extorted by Butler’s licensed black
mailers of the Treasury Department from
honest merchants,' it has been discovered
that $3,000,000, over-Daid to certain rail
roads, has been lost to the government,
because the individual who made the dis
covery of the fraud and applied for the
contract to collect the money was not a
member of the Butler-Sanbom ring. And
now we have the disclosure of another
branch of the moiety business by which,
no doubt, vast sums have been plundered
for the government A Washington dis
patch to the Philadelphia Press, of Fri
day last says:
“Some time ago a member of the
House from Ohio discovered that a .sys
tem of moieties was in vogue in the Post
Office Department somewhat similar to
that practised by the Treasury Depart
ment It appears that for some time
past the special agents of the Post Office
Department, in addition to their other
duties, have been acting as spies and de
tectives upon postmasters and mail con
tractors. For every delinquency reported
these men receive a moiety, consisting of
a percentage on the amount involved.
This was, of course, in addition to their
regular salaries. The matter was referred
to the House Committee on Post Offices
and Post-roads, and to-day it was dis
cussed at some length. A resolution was
adopted calling upon the Postmaster Gen
eral for a copy of the law, if any such
exists, under which these parties acted,
the amount paid them, and the names of
those against whom information was
lodged. So far as the members have been
able to ascertain, this whole moiety busi
ness in the Post Office Department has
been conducted without authority of law.
The matter is to be fully investigated,
and appropriate legislation will follow.”
The Moiety Frauds.—A Washington
special to the St. Louis Republican says:
“A Bepublican member of the Ways and
Means Committee remarked on Friday,
the more the moiety infamy is investi
gated, the more the Committee finds to
investigate. Now that the terrorism which
has been exercised over the merchants is
removed, the Committee is flooded every
day with offers of testimony from the
most responsible importing firms m the
.country, each one relating to some enor
mity. Some of the Bepublicans on the
Committee are getting frightened at the
political consequences of these exposures,
fearing that too much truth will come to
light as to the means whereby the great
mercantile interests of the country were
dragooned into supporting Grant in 1872.
It is not believed, however, that the in
vestigation will be stayed, although ah
effort will be mode to hush the matter by
simply repealing . the law under which it
was carried on.”
When Gbeek Meets Geeee.—A few
days ago two colored justices in De Soto
county, Miss., near Commerce, gave judg
ments against parties residing in rival
beats or districts, which led to a clash of
authority. One charged the other with
having changed his decision after
hearing of his rival’s decision, and forth
with issued a warrant for his arrest.
When the constable, with a colored posse,
arrived at the residence of the justice he
found an armed party awaiting his arri
val, who fired upon the posse, badly
wounding two of them, and captured the
constable, who was taken to Austin by
the warlike justice, to be turned over to
’the sheriff, who arrested the entire party.
The case was on trial at last accounts,
and caused intense excitement'among the
colored population.
: :
The Butleb-Sanborn Bobbeby.—An
ifficial report of the collections in the
bom cases shows a very curious state
if things, if we reflect that Sanborn was
commissioned to “discover” claims to be
•fleeted. The New York Tribune pub
es an abstract of this report covering
(forty-one cases; these netted Sanborn
And partners the tidy sum of $191,395.
But it is clear, upon examination of the
data officially furnished, that Sanborn’s
“discoveries” only amounted to the gross
Hum of $11,000 as due the government;
fhe rest were simply taken from the reg
ular lists of the officials. The arrange
ment of figures derived from the state
ment of the Secretary of the_ Treasury
Simply makes more clear the fact that
this whole business is an enormous rob
bery of the public money.
A Pointed Thbeat.—A Washington
dispatch says: “Some of the Philadel
phians here in the interest of the centen
nial job have declared that if the West-
' 'em members opposed their exposition,
the weight of the Pennsylvania delega
tion and influence of the Philadelphia
i lobby would be thrown against any ap-
L propriation for river improvement.”
Has it come to this, that the Fhiladel-
(phia lobby must be bribed in order to se-
t cure legislation demanded by the inter-
ests of the country at large ?
The new postage law brings a con
siderable revenue from the New York
advertising agencies. Geo. P. Howell
& Co’s quarterly bills upon newspapers
received exceed. $430; those of S. M.
Pettengill & Co. are above $350, while
the agencies of W. J. Carlton, Bates &.
Locke, W. W. Sharpe and others most
prominent,* pay from one-fourth to one-
eighth of the above amounts.
I • Notes on Current Literature,
i No publishers in this country nor in
Europe have responded more readily or
with more judgment to the recent, re
markable manifestations of a desire on
the part of the public to be educated up
to a sympathetic appreciation of the re
sults’ of modem science than the Messrs.
Appleton, of New York. They were
among the first to discover the popular
tendency towards scientific studies, and
they! made early arrangements with the
most distinguished Scientists of Eu
rope and America to publish a series of
works, elementary in their character, that
would meet the wants of the public. In
pursuance of this arrangement, the
Messrs. Appleton have been for several
months issuing what is known as “The
International Scientific Series,” embracing
contributions from such men as Darwin,
Tyndall, Proctor, Spencer and others.
We have upon our table three of the
latest volumes of this series.
“The Conservation of Energy,” by Dr.
Balfour Stewart, is one of the most valu
able of the series, dealing as it does with
the modern doctrine of the correlation of
forces. The statement of the subject is
perhaps the clearest that has ever been
attempted—the style is simple and lucid—
and the illustrations copious and familiar.
As Dr. Stewart’s essay deals with the
physical aspects of the question, Profes
sor Youman’s, under whose editorial su
pervision the series is issued, has, with
great forethought, added an appendix to
the volume which comprises lectures by
Professor Joseph Le Conte and by Pro
fessor A. Bain^the celebrated psycholo
gist of Aberdeen?which the vital and
mental phenomena *of the subject are
ably considered.
Another volume of the series, not less
entertaining than instructive, is '* 1 Animal
Locomotion, or Walking, Swimming and
Flying, with a Dissertation on Aeronau-
j tics,” by the celebrated Dr. J. Bell Petti
grew, of the Boyal College of Surgeons of
Edinburgh. This volume is something out
of the usual order. Briefly, it is a success
ful attempt to explain in a simple, con
cise and vigorous style some of the more
difficult problems in “animal mechanics.”
The essay on aeronauties will be found
to be particularly entertaining.- In order
to avoid tedious technical descriptions
and explanations, the author has intro
duced a large number of drawings, which
have been very effectively reproduced on
wood.
“The New Chemistry,” by Prof. Josiah
P. Cook, Jr., of Harvard, is another val
uable number of the International Series.
The author aims to present the modern
theories of chemistry clearly to the ninds
of intelligent but not professional read
ers, and in this he has admirably suc
ceeded.
From J. B. Lippincott A Co., of Phila
delphia, we have “Alide: an Episode of
Goethe’s Life,” by Emma Lazarus—alto
gether a pleasant little volume. Miss
Lazarus, with the insight of a poet, lias
seized upon the most touching episode in
the history of the great German and
wrought out a delightful story. The
character of “Alide Duroc” is a creatnre
of the imagination, but her history, it
need hardly be said, is identical with that
of Frederika Brion.
The same publishers send us “Hubert
Freeth’s Prosperity,” by Mrs. Newton
Crossland. We confess that we have
given this book a cursory examination.
It is a bulky volume of five hundred
pages, and besides the author is to us a
literary stranger. Dipping into the story
here and there, we have not been very
favorably impressed with its merits, and
we fear that a more careful reading would
merely confirm the suspicion that what
is technically known os “padding” is one
of its prominent features.
G. W. Carleton & Co. send us “ The
Story of a Summer,” mainly made up of
extracts from a journal kept by Cecelia
Cleveland while on a visit to Chappaqua,
the home of Horace Greeley. The book
is written in a gushing, gossipy style, but
is exceedingly interesting. Nevertheless,
some of the details seem trivial and com
monplace, and some, to a sensitive per
son, would appear painfully minute; but
to the admirers of the veteran journalist
these things will be overshadowed in the
interest they feel in everything that ap
pertains to Mr. Greeley. That portion
of the volume relating to the life and
death of little “Pickie,” the wonderful
child, of whom newspaper readers have
heard, is exceedingly touching.'
The books noticed in the foregoing are
sent to us through Messers. John M.
Cooper & Co., who have them for sale.
The bill to repeal the act appropriating
$1000,000 for the Centennial Celebration
was reported adversely in the New Jersey
House of BepreseDtatives on Friday and
notwithstanding such action, placed on
the calen lar in regular order. It pro-
at $5,00,000 must be first
from all sources before this
tion be granted. The ship
lost in the Senate.
It will be seen by our Washington dis
patches that Hon.- Morgan Bawls, the
legally elected Representative of the
First Congressional District, has been de
prived of his seat in the House, and his
defeated Opponent, Mr. Sloan, seated in
bis stead. This is in accordance with the
universal practice of the Badical majority
in Congress.
During a visit of one of the praying
bands of women to a drinking saloon, in
Brooklyn, the hostile spirit of the crowd
was entirely changed by seeing one of the
ladies approach and fondle an ugly bull
dog, point to him as a cold-water man
and ask him to sign the pledge for the
sake of his example.
History of the South Carolina Col
lege.—Messrs. Walker, Evans & Co., of
Charleston, South Carolina, are about to
publish a second edition of the “ History
of the South Carolina College,” by the
late Professor LaBorde, who was for the
greater portion of his life associated with
that institution. The new edition, be
sides containing additional sketches, will
also contain the life of the author, by the
Bev. J. L. Reynolds, D. D.
The publication of this volume must be
a source of gratification, not only to the
numerous graduates of thiR college, once
so highly esteemed, but must also be of
interest to all who value the memories of
Calhoun, McDuffie and other great and
famous men who were there educated.
A subscription list will be found at the
book store of Messrs. John M. Cooper
& Co.
The Centennial Fiasco.—The Boston
Journal of Commerce thinks “it would be
wise in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania to
fully esteem the genuineness of the oppo
sition to the holding an International Ex
hibition in ’76. It-is now merely opposi
tion, but it can be easily changed into
open hostility to any and all medbures
suggested from a similar source for any
national observance of the one hundredth
birthday of the Bepublic. The whole
thing has been badly managed—in no
straightforward manner. But Congress
win not assume any responsibility, direct
ly or indirectly, and Pennsylvania had
better accommodate herself to the situa
tion.”

it is with a man by the name of Jacobs,
a denizen of Scuffletown, who is said to be

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington. March 24.—In the House,
after a three hours’ discussion, to which
nobody paid any attention, the vote was
taken on the Georgia contested election
case, and Bawls, the sitting member, ’was
ousted, and Sloan, the contestant, admit
ted to his seat by a strictly party vote,
except that Banning cf Ohio, Foot of H-
linois, and Shoemaker of Pennsylvania,
voted with the Democrats for Bawls.
After that the House went on in the af
ternoon and evening sessions with the bill
to regulate interstate railroad commerce.
In the Senate, Mr. Morton presented a
lengthy memorial from the citizens of
Texas, alleging that the late Governor
Davis was not permitted to serve out his

SALE OF A RAILROAD.
Selma, March 24.—Chancellor Turner
to-day decreed the sale of the Selma,
Borne and Dalton Boad, and all the pro-
erty of the Company, including four hun
dred thousand acres of public land. The
decree was on a suit of Johnston & Stew
art, trustees of the first mortgage bond
holders. It is the most important cose
ever adjudicated in Alabama.
The plaintiffs were represented by Messrs.
Brooks, Haralson and Bay, and the de
fendant by Messrs. Pettas, Dawson and
Tillman. The road to be sold is two
hundred and thirty-six miles long, and
one of the most important thoroughfares
in the South.
Chancellor Turner held that a mortgage
to Gazaway B. Lamar, executed July 1st,
1872, is a first lien on the road from
Selma to Blue Mountain; that the mort
gage to Chas. G. Edwards, trustee, exe
cuted January 10, 1855, is a second lien
on one hundred miles of the road from
Selma; that the mortgage to W. P. Fel
lows, trustee, is a first lien on the public
lands; and that the mortgage to Johnston
& Stewart is a first lien on the road from
Blue Mountain to Dalton, 101 miles, and
upon all other property acquired since
August 8th, 1866, not appurtenant to the
road from Selma to Blue Mountain, and
also upon the Ashby branch.
Chancellor Turner also held the re
ceiver’s certificates to be a first charge on
gross proceeds of sales.
THE MACON RACES.
Macon, Ga.. March 24.—The spring
meeting of the Central City Park opened
to-day under the auspices of the Central
Georgia Jockey Club. The weather was
fine, the track good, and the attendance
large. The first race—two mile dash over
eight hurdles—was won by “Chief En
gineer,” beating “Fireball,” “Lanta
Lawler” and “Nashville Harry.” Time,
4:21.
The second race—half mile dash for
two year olds—was won by “Vanderlite,”
beating “Lulia H" and the “Belle of
Australia.” Time, 5:47.
The third race—mile beats—was won
by ‘’Limestone,” in two straight heats.
Time, 1:50—1:49. “Bessie Lee” was
second; “Chief Engineer” was distanced
in the first race.
. The races continue throughout the
week.

New Yore, March 24.—Of seventy-
nine churches invited to Congregational
Council only one had last evening in
formed the committee of their decision to
send delegates. A few of the most
prominent men who were expected are
unable to be present. This number is
email, but embraces names renowned in
the recent history of the church.' Bev. Dr.
Theo. D. Woolsey, of New Haven, Bev.
Dr. BnshncH, of Hartford, and Bev. Dr.
Tillman, have written letters expressing
that on account of sickness they were un
able to be present Bev. Dr. Vennflyer
is in Florida, and Hon. Henry P. Haven,
of Connecticut, on account of pressing
business at home, cannot come. No word
has been received from Bev. Dr. George
F. Magoa, of Iowa, one of the lights of
Congregationalism in the West, and he is
not expected. The absence of these men
will not materially affect the representa
tive character of the Council, but it
would be highly satisfactory to all con
cerned could they be present The Coun
cil will organize this evening, in Clin
ton Avenue Church, but inasmuch as
few delegates bad reached the city yes
terday, it cannot be foreseen bow it will
be organized, or who will be elected pre
siding officer. There will be a committee
in waiting this afternoon at the Church
of the Pilgrims to provide for the accom
modation of delegates.
WASHINGTON NEWS AND NOTES.

ment. Dr. Alexander Sharp and Colonel
Fred D. Grant accompanied the remains.
Professor Baird was before the House
Committee on Appropriations to-day with
reference to an appropriation of $15,000
to carry on the work of propagating food
fishes,' he being one of the Fish Commis
sioners under the law. The committee

to the modus operand! of paying bounties
to colored soldiers.
Robeson’s mock heroics.
New York, March 24.—A Key West
dispatch states that the naval armed
forces, two thousand men, made a land
ing yesterday under cover of a heavy fire
from the gun boats. After the lauding of
the skirmishers, a dress parade and review
by Admiral Case followed. A large crowd

resolved to adjourn on March 28th until
May 2d.
A deputation of Royalists will soon
visit the Count de Chambord and make a
last effort to effect a restoration of the
Monarchy.
A NEW CABLE.
London, March 24.—Messrs. Siemens
Brothers announce that their new steam
ship, the Farrady, built specially for the
purpose of laying cable, will commence
on the 15th of next month to take on
board the cable which is to be laid direct
to the United States.
THE CARLISTS.
Bayonne, March 24.—The Cariists are
throwing incendiary shells into Bilbao
with terrible effect. Whole streets are
reported in flumes. The recent engage
ment before the city has resulted in the
occupation by the besiegers of the Allbia
suburbs, on the left bank of theNervion.
Another Guerrilla Recruit.—Grant’s
organ, the New York Times, notices with
infinite satisfaction the report that
Harris H. Barksdale, of Jackson, Missis
sippi, one of the proprietors of the Clar
ion, long the leading Democratic paper of
the State, has lately joined the Republi
can Club in Jackson, and that his “defec
tion” receives the hearty approval of
Major Ethel Barksdale, his father, the
editor in chief of the Clarion, who has
long exercised a controlling influence in
the politics of Mississippi, in common
with the distinguished Barksdale family.
The Times quotes from a correspondent:
“Gen. Wm. Barksdale, who fell at
Sharpsburg leading his splendid Missis
sippi brigade, was one of the most ultra
Yancey Democrats, in Congress just be
fore the war. With him abolitionism
was the sum of all moral, social and po
litical villainy. In this sentiment all of
bis name heartily concurred, and, being
men of brains, position and influence,
they added much to the popular storm
which swept the State out of the Union
in January, 1861. The idea of a Barks
dale as anything else but a Democrat
seems almost preposterous; and when' de
fection occurs in such a camp, it needs
no prophet to sing the final doom of the
Democratic party in this State. It is, in
fact, already dead.’
The story does really seem preposter
ous in the extreme, and the fact, if fact it
be, can only be accounted for in the sup
position that ’Mosby has been recruiting
for Grant in Mississippi.
John Bull After the Dons.—The
Kingston (Jamaica) Gleaner, of March 7,
says: “In accordance with instructions
received from Her Majesfy’s Government
an inquiry will shortly be held in respect
to the relatives of those British subjects
who were captured on board the steamer
Virginius and shot by order of General
Burriel at Santiago de Cuba. It is sur
mised that this inquiry is with a view of
securing compensation from the Spanish
Government.”'
The waters of the Thames rose rapidly
on Thursday last, and overflowed the em
bankments in London, flooding the adja
cent streets and warehouses. Putney was
inundated, and there were several narrow
escapes from drowning. The rise was
caused by a remarkable high tide all along
the eastern coast of England, Ipswich.
Yarmouth and Hull were partially flooded.
A Society of thirty Indiana women,
mostly girls from 18 to 25, has been
organized to pay a temperance visit to
the Pacific coast. They will commence
their labors at Omaha, and stop at every
saloon on the line of the railroad from
there to San Francisco.
Among Mr. Sumner's valued treasures
are the Bible used by Bunyan when he
wrote “Pilgrim’s Progress,” containing
the autograph of Bunyan, while the mar
gin is full of notes, also in his handwrit
ing. He owned also the manuscript of
Burns’ “Scots wha hae wi’ Wallace bled.”
Romantic Marriage of Aged People.
—The Cincinnati Commercial, of Satur
day , contains the following: “An inter
esting wedding occurred on Mt Adams
on lliUTsday evening, one of the high
contracting parties being Mrs. Pabst,
aged sixty-nine, who has long been a res
ident on the Mount. The groom is a
wealthy gentleman from Chicago, over
seventy years of age. The two venerable
lovers, at an early age, were playmates in
Germany, and there began to love each
other, though the fates separated them
for a number of years, exceeding an ordi
nary lifetime. The young man came to
America, married, and in time amassed a
large fortune, his wife dying about two
years ago. The young woman also came
to this country, married, but her husband
who since died, was not quite so fortu
nate in accumulating worldly wealth. We
learn that the venerable bridegroom fur
nished the funds for the wedding outfit,
and that the celebration, in all its details,
was very enjoyable,” •
The Adulteration of Sherry Wine.
The well known English chemist, Dr.
Ha'ssall, has sent the folio wing to the Lon-
i don Times :
With a view to determine the question
of the purify of the sherries sold in this
country, I have subjected nineteen sam
ples to full quantitative chemical analysis,
with the result which, with your permis
sion, I will now proceed to record in as
brief a manner as possible. Of these
nineteen samples eight were of the high
est qualify procurable, at d their analysis
was undertaken with a view to arrive at
pies, purchased in the ordinary way from
wine merchants, restaurant proprietors
and publicans, might be compared. The
results arrived at were as follows:
1. That the whole of the wines, with
out exception, were fortified with extra
neous spirit to a large extent. _ This spirit,
doubtless, in nearly all cases, and proba
bly in every case, is derived either from
corn, beet-root, or potato, and not from
the grape; while the average amount of
proof spirit furnished by the must from
which sherries are made at Xeres, accord
ing to the best authorities, is about 19
per cent., the lowest quantify found by
me was 29.723, and the highest 41.294,
the mean of all being 35.477 per cent.
In fact, the quantity'of spirit added falls
not very short of that actually furnished
by the fermentation of the grape itself.
2. That seventeen of the nineteen sam
ples were decidedly plastered. The quan
tity of sulphate of potash found in the
wines, after deducting 3 grains per bottle—
this being the utmost amount ever met
with in natural sherry—ranged from 15.0
to 51.6 grains per bottle. These quanti
ties give 90.0 grains as the lowest and
306.9 grains as the highest amount per
gallon. It will be seen, therefore, that
these analyses bear out the statement of
Dr. Thudichum—that all the sherries im
ported into this country are plastered—
that is to say, the must is dusted over
with sulphate of lime; in addition to
which it is also impregnated with the
fumes of burning sulphur, whereby a still
further quantity of sulphuric acid is in
troduced into the wine. Dr. Thudichum
gives the quantity of sulphate of potash
contained in sherries as varying from
36.1 to 169.2 grains per bottle, of one-
sixth of a gallon. It will be seen that my
highest quantify amounts to 51.6 per bob-,
tie, or 309.6 grains per gallon, equal to
about three-quarters of an ounce; the
quantity of sulphate of potash therefore
met with in these analyses is much below
the larger amount given by Dr. Thudi-.
enum—namely, nearly 2^ ounces.
3. That, in addition to the fortifying
and plastering, five of the wines contained
considerable amounts of cane sugar, the
presence of which affords, of course, clear
evidence of adulteration.
4. That two of the sherries—those de
nominated “Hambro” sherries—contained
very little wine at all, but consisted
chiefly of spirit, sugar and water, flavored;
in fact, these mixtures could, hardly be
said to have auy claim to be regarded as
wines at all.
It will thus be seen that, notwithstand
ing that eight of the samples were of the
highest quality obtainable in this coun
try, not one of the nineteen wines can be
regarded as the pure and natural product
of the grape alone.
