Washington, April 8—The safe burg
lary examination becomes very exciting.
This was a conspiracy to rob the safe of
the District Attorney and place the con
tents in the possession of Columbus
Alexander, in a way to connect criminal
ity with the transaction. It was a mock
robbery, and the papers taken to Alex
ander’s house wero worthless. Some ox-
officials and those who escaped by a hung
jury two years ago are telling the whole
etory Whitely implicates Gen Babcock.
Thtre is a wild rumor that Bristow has
resigned in consequence of Henderson’s
testimony in which Bristow is made to
say that he hod no confidence in the Ad
ministration.
Bristow left suddenly for Kentucky a
few days ago. Some of Bristow’s friends
say be is only gone for his health, but it
is a singular fact that he had no idea of
such a trip before Henderson testified.
Great looseness, to soy the ;east, is de
veloping in the management of the Gov
ernment Printing Office.
Assistant Secretary Burnham says
Bristow will be here on Monday or Tues
day. He went West on pressing private
business.
Boston, April 8.—A meeting of the
Boston Light Infantry was held lo3t
night to perfect arrangements for at
tending the Fort Moultrie Centennial at
Charleston. The plan is for the com
mand to leave Boston with thirty guns
for New York, where they will join the
Old Guard with thirty guns, and proceed
to Charleston by steamer. After the
celebration these commands, with two
companies from Charleston, will return
to New York, and rendezvous at the
Hippodrome.
There the Boston Light Infantry will
be joined by thirty more guns, and with
full ranks, the Southern companies, in
cluding the South Carolina companies
will on the third day of July take a spe
cial train to Philadelphia to join the Cen
tennial legion. The New England divis
ion of tho legion]will bo under the com
mand of Gen. Bnrnsido. It is calculated
that it will take fifteen days to carry out
the programme.

London, April 8.—The warm, bright
sun to-day resembles an American May
day. Since dawn unprecedented crowds
have been flocking from every direction.
Betting was three to one in favor of
Cambridge. Both crews were in splen
did form. Cambridge University is ad
mitted to be the fastest, but some good
judges think the Oxfords’ staying powers
are superior. From the quantity of
light b.ue displayed by the crowd, it is
evident Cambridge is the favorite of the
masses.
Oxford winning the choice, took the
Middlesex side. A start.wos made at 2.17.
Cambridge got away first, rowing thirty-
seven strokes per minute and very
steady. Oxford commenced with thirty
five Cambridge drew away in the first
quarter of a mile, but at Craven Point
Oxford decreased the lead to quarter of
a length, each crew rowing thirty-sir
strokes. Both quickened slightly. The
crab tree, a mile and a furlong from the
start was reached. The boats’ crows now
settled down to steady work. Hammer
smith bridge, four furlongs further, was
reached with Cambridge a clear length
ahead. At The Doves, two furlougs from
Hammersmith bridge, Cambridge was
still further ahead, and the race
was virtually over. Cambridge rowed
steadily ahead, increasing the lead at
Chiswick church to two and a half
lengths. At Barnes’ Oxford made a last
struggle, increasing the stroke to forty,
but the boat did not answer to this spirit
and Cambridge, quickening her stroke
slightly, kept fully three lengths ahead.
Barnes’ bridge, three and a half miles
f:<»m the stmt, was reached in sixteen
minutes and forty-eight seconds, from
which point the boats rowed uniformly
to the ship, wbit-h was reached at 2:25
and 2:30 The Oxford eased up just be-
foie tbo gun fired, but Cambridge really
won by a little over three lengths.

dcors.
The Committeo on Military Affairs of
the House have called on Secretary Taft
for new estimates for the ensuing fiscal
year. They have Belknap’s figures, but
do not trust them.
The Committee on Expenditures in
the Department of Justice have unearth
ed the following: “ Tho Solicitor General
ha3 a man named Burr in his office, who
is mainly relied upon in consultations.
Burr, before the committee, testified
that rvlfe-ii tbo Parkman-Brooks case
was referred to him, he made an adverse
report, and said the claim should never
1* passed. General Roddy, agent for the
claim, camo to Burr afterwards and
said, " This claim must pass. The
President wants it to bo done.” “ How
is that?” said Burr. Roddy took a
document from his pocket signed U. S.
Grant, addressed “ To whom it may con
cern,” and gave a good character to
Roddy, saying he was a man in whom
perfect trust could bo placed. Burr did
not know whether this was really written
byjtbe President or not. It i3 believed
l>y tbo committee that it was. Tho sub
sequent history of the claims it 13 al
leged, 6hows that it wo3 only by the
co operation in some way of ex As
sistant Secretary Sawyer that it was
finally passed. Sawyer denies that
when indicted for complicity in the
Pnikman, Brcoks & Co. claim, ho stated
that he acted in tbo case by the express
ordere of the President. It appears from
Wbitely’s evidence that Columbus Alex
ander only escaped by tho mock burglars
in mistaking the hour. They were di
rected to do their work at ten o’clock,
but read their instructions "one o’clock,"
and conld not get anyone at Alexander’s
house awake to receive tho stolen papers.
General Babcock gave Whitely assur
ances of protection should anything
ugly happen. Whitely wa3 afraid
of the job. Whitely understood that
proceedings against himself and Harring
ton after the jury disagreed, were dis
missed by order of tho President. At
all events, Gen. Babcock, in person, took
an order, ostensibly signed by President
Grant, addressed to tbo Attorney General,
directing him to have all proceedings
stopped. Ex-Attorney General Williams
summoned Mr. Riddle, who proseented
the case as special attorney, and stated
that developments mast be made to cor
respond with what was and is his theory
of tho case.
A bill extending the limits in which
indictments can be brought so as to cove-
these cases has passed Congress, and i3
in tho hands of tho President.

Congressional Printer Clapp states
that on account of printing the Congres
sional Record, the appropriation is insuf
ficient. He had availed himself of his
legal privilege to draft from the Treasn
ry to the amount of two-thirds of his

St. Louis, April 8.—Tho Circuit Court
was densely packed by spectators, includ
ing many prominent citizens to hear
Judge Dillon’s decision in the McKee,

nounced in the Maguire ease, the five
counts in tho indictments standing
against the defendent, and to which be
pleaded guilty, charging him witn fail
ng to report to his superior officers cer
tain knowledge which he possessed, would
be merged in one offence, toe charges in
each being the same. He was sentenced
to pay a fine of $15,000, the maximum pen
alty, and serve six months imprison
ment in tho county jai’, the mini-
mum penalty. Judge Dillon then asked
if W. O Avery was present, and Judgo
Krum, his counsel, stated that he
could not get here on account of
not having tho means to pay the ex
pense, but if the court would defer judg
ment till next week, he thought his cli

Thursday for Avery to appear. Wm.

Judge Krum stated that a motion for

to the Times from Venice reports that
Baron Kodich demanded that the insur
gents should disarm as a preliminary
condition. This the chiefs refused to do.
and the conference was broken up. The
insurgents returned to the mountains
and the Baron to Ragusa. The Herze

Unmitigated Millionaires.
Gold niU (Xev.) News.J
When ono reflects upon tho immense
wealth now possessed by tho four princi
pal owners of the incalculably rich bo
nanza developed in the Consolidated Vir
ginia and California mines, at the noith
end of the Comstock, the mind is dazed
with wonder, and figures after figures
are added to the already long array until
they shade off into tho misty realm of
fabulous and incomprehensible- The
wealth of tho Rothschilds, the Astors,
and other rich men noted in history and
known of at the present time could 00

lar estimates baved upon proper financial
grounds and established principles. But
in this instance, when we get to counting
by the hundred millions, and see hun
dreds of millions beyond, with very pos
sible billions in prospective, and no defin
ed or uudeistood or even guessed at
limits to the great bonanza or source of
this immense wealth, all figuring and
calculation is lost in a glittering, golden
hued, and silver starred firmament of
boundless wilderness of incor prehensible
affluence, the materialization (f a vast
gulden dream, compared with which all

THE COTTON THIEVES.
A Gigantic Combination which Has
nobbed tbe Government ot Hit
lions—Worse than Even the Wbls.
by Bing.
Congressional RecordJ
Mr. Willis—I send to tho desk a reso
lution, on which I demand the previous
question.
Tho Clerk road as follows s
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be and is herebv requested to
transmit to this Houso a list of all the
cotton claims presented to and paid by
his department from January, 1865, up
to the present time; also, the names of
tho original owners and their places of
residence, together with the names and
places of residence of the attorneys em
ployed in each ease, and any information
he, tho Secretary of the Treasury, may
have in his possession in regard to tho
manner of paying fees in such cases; and
also, whether he knows 01 has any in
formation concerning the existence of
any combinations formed to defraud the
Government in relation to such claims,
and if eo, what such knowledge or in
formation is.
The resolution was adopted.
New York Sun.
Washington, April 3 — Tho above
resolution, introduced by Wr. Willis, of
New York, will reveal a new field of
fraud and corruption. It has for a long
time been very well understood, by thoso
in a position to know, that a fermidable
and corrupt cotton ring existed, and that
through its manipulations tho Govern
ment had been robbed of millions of dol
lars. To trace the history of this ring
from its origin in the Treasury Depart
ment itself, at the close of the war, up to
tho present time, when it ba3 assumed
gigantic proportions, would require
great deal of space.
It will bo within the recollection of
many that, just before the close of the
war, what was called a Bureau of Cotton
Claims was established in the Treasury.
The exemplary Christians and clerks
and agents in charge of this bureau,
which in many respects was not unlike
that great humanizing institution, the
Freedman’s Bureau, entered it with more
piety in their souls than money in their
pockets. It very soon became evident
that these poor but pions gentlemen had
struck riches, for they began to ride in
their coaches, to dress their wives in
costly sit%s and satins, to buy lots and
build bouses, and 10 furnish the latter
in an extravagant manner.
There was something so mysterious
about tho way in which these men ac
cumulated their wealth, that the matter
soon became tho scandal of tho town,
and the concern earned for itself the
unenviable soubriquet of “ The Bureau
of Cotton Thieves.” It was not an un
common thing to see a man who went
into that bureau without money enough
to pay his washing bill, riding in hUown
carriage and displaying diamonds in less
than a year. “ Lucky fellow! Ho is a
clerk or agent in the Bureau of Cotton
Thieves,” it would be remarked, as he
drove along Pennsylvania avenue. Ex
actly bow these men came to be so very
well off while they were attached to this
flourishing bureau has never been clearly
explained. It has been charged they
were in league with outside p irties, and
received large sums of money for giving
them valuable information in regard to
claims. But the gentlemen of the Bu
reau of C dton Thieves did not restrict
their benevolent operations within any
Euch boundaries. It is said, and is be
lieved, that a truly loyal Assistant S :c-
retary of the Treasury was tne first to
discover “ riches ” in this wonderful
bureau. And it is also said, and believ
ed, that ho resigned his office for the
purpose of forming a combination with
outside parties, with a view to accumu
lating some of these riches. Seeing
that it might bo profitable to follow an
example so illustrious, the gentlemen of
the bureau dropped out one by one, and
ou.Uo.ty i.o»jn o partners of attorneys
for tbe prosecution of cotton claims.
This cotton claim business having be
come very profitable, those engaged in
it made no disguise of th’eir rapidly ac
quired wealth. Claims, too, began to
increase in magnitude and number, un
til the Secretary of the Treasury became
alarmed at the drain they were making
on his surplus funds In truth, the moro
of tnem he paid the faster th“y increased
in number. If these claims were genuine
and the attorneys prosecuting them
honest, the South, and more especially
tbe State of Louisiana, must have been
covered with cotton at least two feet deep
at the end of the war. And now wo have
the proof that they-were not genuine;
that probably seven-tenths of them were
wbat is known as manufactured.
The strangest thing of all is that neith
er Boutwell nor Richardson’s attention
was attracted to this method of plunder
ing the Treasury, nnd they paid out
claims for millions of dollars without
making even an ordinary examination in
to their merits. It was very different
with Bristow. He bad not been Secre
tory of the Treasury long until ho found
there was corruption in all it3 buieaus,
and. as the country knows, ho began
fighting it. “How much of a fee do you
get in that case?” ho inquired of an at
torney who had just got a cotton claim
fur $83,000 through his department.
“Half, or fifty per cent.,” was tho reply,
made with a smile. It at onco occurred
to the keen-witted Bristow that if the
claim was a genuine one, and tho owner
an honest man, he would not give one-
half of it to his attorney. Tho Secreta
ry at onco ordered a thorough investiga
tion into this matter, and the result is
: he discovery of a gigantic Cotton Ring,
with its headquarters in Washington,
and its working members in Now Orleans,
Mobile, Memphis, New York, Boston and
Philadelphia.
The Government is in possession of
facts which prove tho existence of as
formidable and corrupt a combination as
the Whisky Ring, and that the Treasury
has been robbed of $11,000,000 by it.
“ Giants In Tlioso Days.”
Tho New York Sun of the 4th instant,
prints a letter from Majsville, Kentucky,
dated SOtn March, which narrates at
length the discovery of a cave by a party
of hunters. At the month of tho cave
was an inscription in hieroglyphics, and,
after threading its labyrinths by the aid
of candles and a rope, they fonnd in a
large vaulted chamber moro than a hun
dred feet in height,
a giant skeleton.
In tho centre of this room thero loomed
up out of tho darkness an immense
square, moss-covered bunch of loose
stones, carefully laid one upon the other,
after the fashion of the rock fences com
mon in this section of country. There
could be no doubt that this monument
or cairn was the result of human labor,
expended probably thousands of years
ago. The top of this sarcophagus, for
such it proved to be, was covered by
slabs of thin rock, evidently transported
from the surface. They were carofully
removed, disclosing a square vault that
had been plastered with mud mixed with
small pieces of straw or twigs of trees or
bushes. In tho centre of the vault, in a
sitting posture, was found the skeleton
of a human figure, entire, and perfectly
preserved by the dry atmosphere of the
cave. As there wa*s no appearance of
flesh upon the bunts, it is probable the
body had been prepared in tho open air,
denuded of the fl_-sl>, and afterward re
moved to the cav j for burial. The bone3
were taken carefully out of tho vault,
laid upon the floor, nnd by the rough
measurement tbe young men were able
to make, found to be those of a man over
eight feet Six inches in height. The
skull measured nearly twelve inches in
the shortest diameter, and bad on the
left side .an indentation, evidently made
by a severe blow/
In the vault at tbe side of tho skeleton
was found an implement of copper, four
feet three inches in length, that weighs
four pounds, and appears to have been
intended for a weapon of defence. It is
roughly made, and was probably fashion-
1 ed trom the native coppcr_o£ tho lake re
gions. The sword is slightly bent, tapers
to a point, and has somewhat the ap
pearance of a saw upon its catting edge.
A rude effort at decoration is made upon
tho handle by irregular lines running
entirely around it.
In close proximity to this interesting
relic was found wbat was at first taken
to be a rude bowl of the same metal, bat
it has since been decided that it is a
helmet or head covering, A stone axe of
elegant workmanship, seven flint arrow
points, a stone pipe carved to represent
a frog, a piece of buckskin four inches
square stained red, a pair of sandals wo
ven from vegetable fibre, and a water
vessel of sun- baked clay were fonnd.
an aboriginal water cooler.
Tho latter is now in my own possession
and is a very beantiful specimen. It
appears to be made from clay tempered
with skill, and is very similar in design
to the pottery occasionally fonnd in Ten
nessee, Arkansas, and some of the other
Southern States, and known among an
tiquarians B9 .the " Mound Builders’
water cooler." The specimen in my pos
session weighs one pound and ten ounces,
and holds exactly two and a half pints.
Tbe Beecher Scandal*
New York, April 5.—The annual meet
ing of the New York and Brooklyn As
sociation of Congregational Ministers
began thi3 morning. An organization
was affected by the choice of Rev. George
Whipple for Moderator. Only about
twenty persons wero present when the
meeting opened, among others Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Storre, Revs.
Mr. Whittemore, Halliday, Dr. Bidding-
ton and Lyman Abbott.
A committee of fivo wero appointed to
report what measures are necessary in
regard to the great scandal.
A motion for executive session received
several negative votes, Mr. Beecher being
among tho number.
The report of tho committee was read.
It wa3 not very long, and was understood
to state that while there is great need of
thorough investigation of the whole
subject of the matter of scandal, the
difficulty of carrying on two or more in
vestigations at the same time, is fully
realized, and, therefore, it is recom
mended that the Association wait until
the plan devised by tho advisory council
expires by limitation, or until a pros
pect of an ecclesiastical investigation i3
ess marked.
Tho report created some excitement,
and a sharp debate ensued, in which Mr.
Beecher took a prominent part, speaking
in a strong and forciblo manner. Among
other things, he said he wanted this trial
to be the last one.
Tho following resolution is said to have
been offered by Dr. Buddington:
Resolved, That this association ap
prove the action of tho Church in the
Theological Seminary at Andover, and
instruct the committee to await the issue
of the application made by the Andover
church, and tako such action thereafter
as shall seem expedient in preparing
their final report to the association.
Henderson’s Testimony.
Gen. Henderson was again last Wed
nesday before the Investigating Commit
tee charged with examining into tho St.
Louis crooked whisky trials, and tho
Washington special to tho Courier-Jour
nal say3 his testimony was important,
and members of the committee have no
hesitancy in saying that it exposes a
grand ring, embracing Grant, Babcock
and Fierrepont. Mr. Henderson testified
that, to his knowledge, For, one of tho
jurors in the whisky trials, left the
grand jury room at St. Loui3 on different
occasions, came directly to Washington,
and informed tho President of all that
had taken place therein. Wnen Pierre
pont would come to the President with
information from tho trials, which reach
ed the Attorney General through the
regular routine channels, he would be
anticipated by tho President’s remark:
*’X Aliun nil dlnsut, .1—.-»» lr. TT.,..,lor-
son stated that no reason ever existed for
issuing tho circular letter, and it is his
belief that tho story circulated that the
President at the start believed that the
prosecution of Babcock wa3 to be a pros
ecution of his private secretary intended
to injure him (Grant) for political effect,
is falso. He is said to bo of the opinion
that tho President from the begin
ning knew that Babcock was guilty;
that tho circular letter was printed to
help him; that tho man Fox was hired
to give tbo secrets of the Grand Jury
room to tho President, who in turn gave
them to Babcock, who handed them over
to his attorneys. He thinks that the
circular letter was published with the
President’s knowledge and consent.
Not True to Themselves.
Agucw, Mayor, and seven members out
of twelve, (fivo of them negroes,) have
been elected by the extreme Radicals of
Columbia, South Carolina, in the recent
municipal election. This, the corres
pondent of tho Neu-s and Courier from that
city writes, was wholly due t.* the apathy
of some, and the treachery of others of
tho whites. The Radical Mayor was
chosen over his Democratic opponent,
Stanley, by twenty-four votes only.
Mr. Stanley’s defeat is to be attriouted
solely to division and indifference on tho
part of tho white Democrats, enough of
whom voted for Agnew to secure his
election by tbe pitiful majority above
given. Seventy-five white men failed to
register in the third ward alone, nnd
even with thi3 disadvantage Stanley
would have boon elected bad not a few
white Democrats voted against him. A
ruling majority in the council was also
lost by tho miserable conduct of thoso
white citizensjwho failed to do their duty,
or who threw away their votes on the
irregular nominees. Stenbouse, Hayne,
Wing, Senn, Darling and Dierck3 are all
conservative men, and the city can con
gratulate itself upon having secured
these at least. The feeling in regard to
the result is very deep, and is directed
solely against the faithless whites, to
whom the credit of the failure is duo.
Tho whites of our sister State will
lose much of tho sympathy of their
brethren from abroad, if they thus show
that they are willing to bug their chains,
and submit supinely to negro and rene
gade domination. Shame on a people
who onco led tho van wherever thero was
danger to be encountered, or glory won.
Let us hope that thi9 sad result in their
own capital will arouse the people of tho
State hereafter to greater exertions.
Nobodt can blame that Brooklyn wo
man who almost shrieked the ceiling
down yesterday when tho husband,
whose supposed remains she had identi
fied and interred in the family vault
threo months ago, came walking in, and
remarked, " Jan/, get me a cup of tea,
please,” justa3 if nothing had happened.
Symptoms of Catarrh.
Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of
tho nasal passages, discharge falling
into the throat, sometimes profuse, wa
tery, acrid, thick and tenacious mucuous,
purulent, muco-purulent, bloody, putrid,
offensive, etc. In others, a dryness, dry,
watery, weak, or inflamed eyes, ringing
in ears, deafness, hawking and coughing
to clear the throat, ulcerations, scabs
from ulcers, voico altered, nasal twang,
offensive breath, impaired smell and
taste, dizziness, mental depression, tick
ling cough, etc. Only a few of the above
symptoms are likely to bo present in

SIGNS OF HANGEB.
The Lessons or Four Years—Who is
Hesponsible for tbe National Deo
rnUatlon?
[Senator Bayard’s Answer to Boutwell.]
Bear with me for a moment while I call
your attention to some of the signs of
danger. About four years ago an emi
nent statesman and patriot with whom you
all, I think, probably—certainly most of
you—differed during his long political
life, bnt whom you all respected, not
offly because of bis learning, not only
because of his eloquence, bnt because a
patriotic heart beat within his bosom—
four years ago, standing in tbe Senate of
the United States, Charles Sumner [ap
plause] warned the people of the dangers
which lay before them. You remember,
for you recall tho speech, how it fell upon
ears that were deaf, and that, notwith
standing this warning, expressed with
matchless eloquence and with consnm
mate skill, the people of tho country
bliudly walked in the path against which
he had warned them, and re-elected to
office the men against whom he had
uttered his warning. Hardly were they
in their seats—nay, his second oath as
President had rot been administered to
Gen. Grant before the country was amaz
ed at a revelation of a scandal in connec
tion with the construction of the road
from the Mississippi river to the Pacifio
ocean.
One after another the public idols went
down; one man after another,previously
in good repute, was smirched, and the
people stood amazed. This was hardly
ended before disclosures were made as to
the practices by which great sums of
money had been extorted from the mer
chants of our great seaport, and the in
former Jayne became familiar to tbe
people. We then saw how the prosecu
tion of the law was made an instrument
for blackmail, and that while the Treas
ury suffered tho informer grew rich.
Hardly was this ended before other reve
lations were brought to light, and one
gentleman after another left the Presi
dent’s Cabinet. Proof of incompotency
compelled tho Secretary of the Treasmy,
Mr. Richardson, to retire. Suspicion of
unworthy conduct next drove Attorney
General Williams ont of tho Cabinet, and
then certain disclosures affecting his son
and other persons upon intimate terms
with him. compelled Mr. Delano to re
tire.
Before long disclosnrcs of fraud in the
West leading to tho conviction of certain
minor officials there wero traced into tho
very household of the President, and his
private secretary, a ward of tho nation,
educated at its military academy, was
thrown under suspicion. I don't, know
how you felt, but I was glad enough to
hoar of his acquittal, for I wished to be
lieve that it had not yet come to this
that even tho soldiers who had carried
our flag in their bands and had worn
our swords upon thoir thighs and our
uniforms upon their shoulders, bad de
scended to the common degradation; but
this morning’s newspapers leave no
doubt even upon-that offense of Gen.
Babcock, and show him not only to be
guilty, but to havo endeavored to 3teal
from the hands of his prosecutors the
cvidenccof his guilt. [Cries of “shame.”]
Well, wo had endured so much with
what patience wo could command, when
wo were suddenly astounded, and I be
lieve every citizen was shocked at the
terrible revelation with reference to Mr.
Belknap, the Secretary of War. I will
not dwell upon this; thoso people who
like such scoundrels may descant upon
them, but it was the first time in our
history that any such suspicion had ever
attached to an officer ot the President's
Cabinet. Whatever reason thero was to
*ha purity of men holding
lower graaca „r h |
always found that the process or se
lection by which Cabinet officers were
chosen was so strict that a thief could
not go into the Cabinet, nor havo tho
right of daily access to tho President,
nor the right 10 tako a seat in his council
chamber; but this time—bringing, too,
the fair repute of woman down—William
Belknap, Secretary of War, went down
into utter infamy.
My frionds, is this accidental ? Are
these mere occasional manifestations of
slight disaster which wo may suppose
will presently pass away to occur no more,
or aro they, as I think they are, proofs
of deep-seated disease, which can only bo
extirpated by tho most efficient—nay, by
the most- heroic—remedies? I stand
hero to say to-night that in my judg
ment the President of the United States
has his full sharo of responsibility in the
degradation of our public service. [Ap-
fiause.l We havo been accnstomed to
saving our Presidents men who were
trained to the methods and systems and
traditions of our Government, but when
he camo to tho Presidency the Govern
ment fell into tho hands of a soldier un
familiar with the governmental pro-,
cesses, and accustomed to tho rude and
arbitrary rules of tho camp, and in the
very choicoof his Cabinet he showed that
he was a stranger to the institutions of
his country, for ho brought into his Cab
inet, in a very largo part, men not only
without a tithe of the training which we
have been accustomed to think eo neces
sary, but he brought into his Cabinet
men who wero unknown, whoso very
names the people did not recognize,
showing that ho looked upon the high
office of the State to be not a trust com
mitted to his bands by the people, but as
a property to be used by himself a3 be
chose. And so in tho same spirit he put
all of his family [laughter] into office,
[Laughter and applause.]
I certainly am not giving yon novel
information when I ssy to you that up to
the accession of Gen. Grant to the Presi
dency no President of the United States
has ever appointed his relatives to effioe,
unless it was that a President ho3 select
ed for his privato secretary a person in
such intimate and close relation to
himself as a President might well
wish to havo in a person filling so confi
dential nn office. With this exception,
no President ever appointed relations to
office before Gen. Grant. A distinguished
Senator from New York defended the
President became he said he had looked
carefully through tbe list, and the Presi
dent had only nine of his family in office
besides himself. Well, the President
was in the Wbite Houso and his son
at West Point, and there were nine o:her
gentlemen in offiee. Now I wondered
when I read that observation how many
people fitted to hold office the gentleman
supposed the average President would
have in his family? Yon will remember
that in ordor to hold official positian ono
must bo a male; that is a thing to be
greatly regretted, for I don’t doubt that
if the Jodies were in office we should be
spared some of the scandals, but at pres
ent he must be a male, and twenty-ono
years of age. In other words, a voter.
Now, taking the ordinary proportion of
voters to the whole population as one to
fivo a man mast hare a family of forty-
five is order to find nine men among
them. [Laughter.]
I say nothing about General Grant
being in the White House or his son at
West Point; if they were added, why
then it wonid require a family of fifty-
fivo. [Renewed laughter.] Senator
Conkling most have had large ideas as
to the sizo of families when he supposed
he was defending President Grant by
proving that ho only had nino of his
family in office. But, if so, the question
of nino men taking office, you would for
give, especially in case of a soldier who
had done much good for his country.
Bnt, my friends; that does not disclose
oil tbo ovils of such example. I tell yon
tho differenco is not very great between
tho President who forgets his duties,
who neglects to exercise his power as if
it were a trust, and puts relatives in of
fice—thero is not much difference be
tween him and a Secretary of War who
soils post-traderships. [Applause.] It
is one of degree only.
Now, I don’t mean to say that because
Gen. Grant pnt his relatives in office that,
therefore, he would be willing to sell post
traderships; far from it that I should
throw such an imputation upon him but
I do mean to say this, that such a derelic
tion of duty upon his part as was shown
by bis appointment of his relatives to
office, coming to tbe knowledge of a
coarser man, such as Belknap has shown
himself to be—coming to the knowledge
of a venal man, such as Belknap has
shown himslf to be—coming to tho
knowledge o f a poor man who was in a
place in another way, legal, but againet
tradition, against conscience, against the
judgment of hiB country, to make money
for his family—such a man as Belknap,
in the face of such an example, might
well think that ho could do what bo did
do—take the money of infamy into his
hands and pnt it into his pocket. [Ap
plause.] Travelers in the mountains of
Switzerland tell us that a word, thongh
it ue broken in a whisper, will some
times loosen upon the perilous edge of
the precipice a few lakes of snow, which,
gathering and gathering and accumulat
ing in quantity, finally pour an avalanche
into the valley, wetting the earth to
great depths, and covering men and the
habitations of men. And so he who
holds such a place as the Presidency by
the slightest lapse from duty may set
another avalanche in motion far more
terrifying to the imagination, covering
the land, as it has covered it, with the
vile blaze of official corruption. [Ap
plause.]
Cost of the Public Schools.
The regular quarterly meeting of tho
Bibb County School Board was held on
Saturday, bnt owing to previous engage
meats on the part of some of tho mem
ber3, most of tho business was postponed
to an adjourned meeting, to be called by
the President.
The following statement was before
tbe Board of the monthly cost of the
public schools of the city and county as
now running—showing all expenses to
be $2,817 66 per month. There ore fifty
five teachers employed, at an aggregate
compensation of $2,597, or say an aver
age of about $41 apiece. Two thousand
and forty-nine children are under in-
structioD, at a total estimated C03t of
$25,667 for eight months’ tuition, ter
minating the 1st of Jane next—showing
an averago cost of a dollar and five cents
per month per pupil. The relative cost
of tho white and colored schools will also
bo seen by tbi3 table.
The incomo to meot these expenses is
as follows: County appropriation, $20/
000; State appropriation (estimated the
same as last year), $2,650; poll tax (es
timated), $2,000; Peabody fund, $1,000;
receipts from tuition, $200—total, $25/

New York Herald.]
Some important inculpating evidence
has been taken by the Committee on Ex
penditures in the Interior Department,
and among tho persons implicated
aro the Delanos. It is said that the orig
inal claim for tho Flagstaff mine, in Utah,
wi3 contested by a well organized ring,
who sent lawyers and money to Washing
ton to get a patent issued. Bnt, In spite
of all their efforts, three decisions were
rendered against the ne<v claimants, and
there was no prospect of success for them
until suddenly a patent was issued in
ono day and the original owners deprived
of their former rights to tho mine. Large
sums ot money were involved. From the
beginning of tho litigation Georgo C.
Bates, an attorney, an ex-Washingtonian,
of reputed influence with President Grant,
was employed by Haskins, the first own
er, to resist the demand for a patent by
contestants. He thought that he had a
good case, especially as threo decisions
had been rendered in favor of his client.
Delano seemed to incline toward the
original title, when, suddenly, the matter
was reforrsd to Attorney General Wil
liams. But before the new referee had
timo to act, Delano issued the patent. It
is alleged that John Delano was the real
actor in the case, that he reoeived $40,000
for getting his father to grant the pat
ent, and that the money was sent through
tho First National Bank of Omaha. Oth
er witnesses are expected in a few days
to further corroborate the allegations. It
is also charged that the patent of the
Emma Mine, which is in the neighbor
hood of tbo Flagstaff Mine, was obtained
by fraud ; that $30,000 was paid for the
patent, and afterward a false panic was
created and the English stockholders were
made to believe that the patent was to
bo set aside, whereby they wero induced
to pay $32,000 in order to hold tho claim.
