Tho Way tho Chinese do It*
San Francisco CalLl
As an illustration cf the manner in
which this people are rapidly usurping
the trades, it may bo mentioned that a
member of tho firm of Tong Wo, an intel
ligent Chinese merchant and a prominent
member of the lung Wo Company, in
formed our reporter but a few days ago
that tho company had twelve thousand
coolies under its charge, fire thousand of
which number were engaged in cigar-
making, three thousand aro boot, shoe
and slipper makers, two thonsand shirt
and clothing makers, and the remainder
two thousand aro composed of laundry-
men, domestics, fishermen, vegetable
peddlers, etc. A good story is told of a
man who resided here a few years ago,
and who never studied political economy.
He opened an establishment for the man
ufacture of bird cages, and after a while
did a thriving business. Soon after a
smart looking Chinaman came along and
solicited employment, offering his servi
ces for fifty cents per day less money
than that paid to the white man then in
his employ. Tho cage-maker and politi
cal economist jumped at the offer, and
discharged the white man, satisfying
whatever scruples of conscience he might
have by making the Chinaman dance
uruund and make things fly. When the
meek-eyed Celestial had mastered the
mysteries of the trade, he astonished his
employer by demanding a salary.equal to
that received by his predecessor, the
white man. The demand was denied
with some show of indignation, and the
cage-maker showed his contempt for Chi
nese labor by kicking him out of the
shop. Within a week afterward an es
tablishment similar to his own was open
ed on the opposite side of the street by
his discharged coolie, and bird cages were
sold very cheap. The cage-maker be
came a bankrupt, as did several cigar-
makers who tried the same experiment
and met the same fate.
Death of A, T. Stewart.
The great American merchant ia sud
denly dead. That was the news which
arrested the attention of all our readers
Tuesday morning, and set on foot in
each heart speculations as to what Mr.
Stewart was worth, how he had left hip
vast estate and vast business, and who
would now take the wheel and gnide that
great Noah’s ark of a property over the
misty deep of the future.
Stewart left no heir of his own blood—
no son or daughter. Behind him are his
childless widow, now an old lady, and
sundry nieces—and connected with his
yast mercantile operations aro agents,
controlling special departments of pur
chase and sale, holding a share in the
profits, but, we presume, no actual prop
erty interest in the investments.
As Stewart lived for the business and
its progress and increment had become
by the habit of a long life'a ruling pas
sion, as absorbing as the turn of the
cards to a gambler, doubtless he made
provision for its continuance after hu
death; but, fortunately for the success
of younger and poorer merchants, it
will never be pushed with the aggressive
force and vigor which a single mind and
a single interest gave it. If that conld
be done in the future, there would be
little else than Stewart’s store, and its
agents, clerks and dependents in the
trade of New York, after a generation
or two.
Stewart was said to be the most suc
cessful money-getter in the world, of his
time. He has accumulated wealth faster
than any other man on the globe,
and if not absolutely tbe richest man on
earth, he held a larger accumulation of
his own earnings. One single piece of
mercantile property—his retail store, oc
cupying a aqnaro bounded by Broadway,
Fourth avenue, and Ninth and Tenth
streets, represented a greater value in
money than the whole taxable wealth of
Bibb county. Tne building and gronnd
were valued at $2,700,000, aud the floors
of tho building contained a superficial
area of eighteen acres, crowded with all
manner of costly merchandise of unknown
value, all bought for cash, and vended
hourly to thousands of cash purchasers
by employes numbering in every depart
ment of labor over two thousand men
and women. In this great realm of
trafiio an order and routine wero main
tained as inflexible as the laws of nature
—aa stern and relentless as fate—crush
ing everybody who even by mistako was
found in the way.
But this kingdom was no great part of
Stewart’s wealth. Below, on Broadway
and Chambers street, was a great marblo
structure devoted to wholesaling and
crowded with goods. Besides these two
establishments, next to Astor, Stewart
was tho largest owner of city real cstato,
and outside tho city he had vast posses
sions. He had bnilt a railroad and laid
ont a city of his own on speculation, aud
ho wa3 building immense manufactories
of a variety of goods in which ho dealt.
Mr. Stewart’s ago was 73, but ho boro
tho comparatively ’youthful appearance
of a man of fifty-five. He was a small
man with a remarkably small bead os to
size—light eyos, closely sot together,
alert in his movements, quiet and reticent
in his manner but nervouB and irritable—
said to havo a good deal of kindneas in
his heart but seldom manifested it. He
is claimed to havo been charitablo, but
but bis charities wero perhaps so unos
tentatious os to be detected with diffi
culty.
vast affairs—the most successful man in
the world, according to the world's stand
ard.
But, after all, few men could, if they
would, havo borne Stewart’s burdens for
Stewart’s wealth. A great pile of monoy
is, after all, so far as the moral and phys
ical well being of the world is concerned,
better distributed than to stand in accu
mulation ; and as to the possessor, be
yond his rational wants and his disposi
tion to uso it for the benefit of others, it is
a burden. And then, too, it is a terrible
temptation to avarice, greed, ambition,
hardness of heart and a tyrannical and
overbearing spirit. In so far as Stewart
has successfully combatted these tempta
tions and used his vast resources in a
loving and dutiful spirit, just so far and
no farther have his acquisitions been a
rational success in life, worthy the emu
lation of tho wiso and virtnous.
Capital and Trade.
Trade in Great Britain is in a state of
asphyxia superinduced by a plethora of
money. It hurts us to see trade dead in
Europe becauso there is loo much money,
and dead ia America because there is too
tittle. But after all, tho case is the samo
both sides tho ocean. In both the masses
are poor, while capitalists don’t know
what to do with their accumulations.
But capitalists alone can’t mako trade.
Trade, in its last analysis, springs out of
the daily necessities of the millions of
tho simple poor. When the poor hare
work and wagos to buy food and clothing
then their myriads of little demands
swell to a vast volume, as tho drops
make up the ocean, and trade moves in
mighty and regular tides.
But by-and-by capital takes a scare—
stops operations—abates the demand for
labor, which is, after all, the true and
only value. Then comes the great Mock,
and the vast machine of human affairs i3
as helpless as a railway train snowed up,
or off the track. Capital is merely accu
mulated labor, and labor is struck out of
existence, in great part, by the cessation
of demand for human activity. Capital,
therefore, reduced to its analysis, is os
worthless as labor, in respect to aapuisi-
tion, and the world is without real value,
though what is called money ia looked
up in great heap9. A man with a hun
dred thonsand dollars, say, has a hun
dred thousand days’ labor laid up, and ho
can live on it. The man with his hands
and sinews only, has nothing at all,
though in normal times he, in fact, rep
resents a true capital of which a dollar a
day should be the income.
The world of trade is cornered by a
great moral disease and disorder which
is, in point of fact, as recondite and ob
scure in tho matter of'cause and remedy
as it will be slow in healing. For when
capital starts then trade will necessarily
follow, because it will furnish the means
of trade which is labor. But capital
will not move till trade moves, and trade
cannot move till labor ia in demand, and
labor cannot he in demand till capital
moves; and so it is, and so we suppose
it will continue to be.
That Fussy Little Court*
The United States District Court for
the District of Columbia, it seems, has
sir fed a wnt of l-abeas corpus on the
Speaker and Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House of Representatives, for possession
of Hallet Kilboarne, a witness under ar
rest for contempt in refusing to answer
the questions of an investigating com
mittee of tbs House in respect to the
membership of a real estate pool in Wash
ington, which is believed to have prac
ticed great oppression and injustice on
the people of the district.
This pool is believed to have made vast
sums of money by a misapplication of tbe
revenues of the district, so as to add val
ue to vacant lots in any port of the city
wheie they might purchase. It must
have been made up of men who could
control the city expenditures in their own
interest, and the House wants to know
who they aro. But Kilboorne, who was
tbe manager of the pool, refuses to tell.
Tho District Court, it is believed, in this
case, as in the case of Belknap, interferes
with the foul intent of thwarting justice,
mid we presume, before the House sur
renders enstody of the prisoner, it will
test the question before * the Supreme
Bench.
Trouble with Great Britain.
A misunderstanding between the Brit
ish and American governments has
arisen ont of the demand for the extradi
tion of the Boston forger, Winslow. The
British Government complains that, un
der previous demands criminals surren-
ed by them havo been subsequently tried
and punished for other offences than
those on which tbe demand for extradi
tion was based, and pleads that this can
not be lawfully done under an act of tbe
British Parliament. To which Fish re
sponds that an act of Parliament, though
law in Great Britain, is not law in the
United States, and cannot enter into the
construction or modification of any treaty
stipulation between tbe two powers. It
seems to us that Mr. Fish is so clearly
right that the statement is self-evident.
SlcKee and Babcock.
McKee’s counsel objects to tbe verdict
against him in that it was obtained on a
copy and not on tho original bill of in
dictment, and the Court i3 considering
the force and validity of this demurer.
Babcock’s acquittal was endorsed on a
similar copy, and if the Court holds this
demurer good ground for according a
second trial, Dyer, the District Attorney,
will claim a second trial for Babcock.
But Babcock we know, don’t want that.
The number of American entries of
exhibits for tho coming Centennial reg
ister ten thousand. From this the Phil
adelphia papers argue that the exhibition
will equal in number of exhibits those of
any previous one.
WILL BRISTOW KESIGN ?
nen Butler Killing the Cabinet—A
Chapter In tbe Delano JteniBiia
nation—Grant lias no use lor an
Roncst Man—Tbe Whiskey Bing—
Why did Bristow Goto Kentucky 7
Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette.]
■Washington, April 7.—It was gener
ally reported to-day that Secretary Bris
tow had resigned. It was stated in the
Gaselte that he had gone to Kentucky to
consult with the friends about remain
ing in the Cabinet. The origin of this
new difficulty is substantially as follows:
Bristow in his examination before tho
Committee of the Interior Department
in tho early part of tho week related the
origin of the Delano scandal: that the
drafts paid toJohn Delano and drawn on
Reed, the Surveyor General of Montana,
together with letters and other docu
ments, wero forwarded to him by Reed’s
clerk, and that he laid them before the
President, wlio_ s_ont_ for young Delano
guilt. He begged tbo President not to
say anything about it, and his father’s
resignation should be given to the Pres!
dent in a few days. In the meantime at
one of those harmonious sessions of the
Cabinet, Mr. Delano, without naming the
party, said that ho was being hounded
by tho3o who ought to be his friends,
and that while he had proposed resigning,
he would not do so with charges pendin
that affected his character. The Presi
dent agreed not to accept the resigna
tion while Delano was under fire, and
thus the matter rested for several weeks.
Bristow was teen questioned as to
whether he furnished information to any
one else, and said that he did, by which
it became public. Tho day before this
examination an editorial in tho White
House organ, written it is said by Ben.
Butler, arraigned Bristow’s Republican
ism, and demanded that he give proof of
his loyalty to the party and his country,
reflecting precisely the same view that
was expressed by Senator Boutwell in
his charge against all men who hod been
brought up under the pale of slave in
stitutions. There was no way in which
Bristow could avert this blow. To re
gard the demand would bo weakness,
while his silence must be construed as
sustaining the accusation that was not
sound in Republican principles. His
opposition to tho force bill, which Bntler
tried to get through the Forty-third
Congress, was alluded to by one in his
confidence. Then there was added to all
this the report of Gen. Henderson’s tes
timony before the Whisky Fraud Com
mittee, in which it was alleged that both
Bristow and Wilson had loat confidence
in Grant and Pierrepont, as they were
not supporting them in the prosecution
of tne whisky frauds. At this the Pres
ident became exceedingly chagrined and
sullen, uoubted whether any man could
be trusted, and was disposed to give
Bristow a cold shake. Bristow, worried
and angry, left for Louisville. To-day
Solicitor Wilson made bold to call on his
Excellency, and cn his own behalf and
for Bristow deny the published state
ments that either had ever written let
ters to Henderson of a confidential char
acter criticizing the President or Pier
repont.
The President heard tho statement,
was thankful that Henderson had not tes
tified truthfully, and was brought back
to such good humor that he authorized
Wilson to telegraph Bristow that he
need not return to Washington in a hurry
but to remain in Kentucky for some time,
as the recreation would do him good.
Henderson has gone to St. Louis, but
will return in a few days, having been re
summoned to tell all he knows. He will
swear unequivocally that Bristow and
Wilson both told him that Pierrepont
was instructed by the President not to
press the case of Babcock, but to dismiss
all proceedings then pending in St. Louis.
Pierrepont hesitated, as he did not see
how lie consistently do so and observe
hi3 oath of office. During the delay the
grand jury found the indictment, thus
relieving Pierrepont of a very unpleasant
duty. It was this notion of the President
that Bristow and Wilson did criticise, or
else it is a question of veracity between
Henderson and the Secretary and Solic
itor of the Treasury. The testimony of
Fox, who was on the grand jury, will also
indicate the remarks cf Bristow and
Wilson.
It is the opinion here to night that the
difference between Grant and Bristow
are irreconcilable. His friends say that
ho went to Louisville at the urgent re
quest of his friends, which in a measure
confirms the report made to-day by Re
publican members of the House to tbe ef
fect that another scandal, which cannot
be talked or testified down, would be de
veloped it’ a certain party should go to
W aehington and testily what he knows.
It was to dissuade this individual from
coming that made his friends so anxious
to have Bristow visit Louisville immedi
ately.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Editorial Correspondence.
Washington, April 9, 1876.
BELKNAP
Was served, yesterday, by the Senate
Sergeant at-Arms with the process issued
by order of the Senate as the court of
impeachment. That functionary, of
course, was "pumped" on hi3 return from
his errand a3 to how Belknap received
him, and reports the ex-Secretary as
quite spry, and, to all appearances, en
tirely recovered from his first depression.
He talked very freely of the coming
trial, and indicated that he was going to
meet the issue with a stiff upper lip-
head up, aud eyes to the front. Ha de
clared he hud no fears of ultimate vindi
cation, and intimated that he wonld ap.
pear in person at the bar of the Senate.
It is quite evident he has lifted himself
out of. the depths of depression, and
made up his mind to die game. His
counsel have evidently been filling him
with the Dutch courage of soothing as
surances that the law’s quirks and their
own ingenuity will pull him through. It
is very clear, now, that the man’s con
science has been thoroughly quieted, and
that as the fear of punishment was the
only thing that pricked it, so tho assur
ance of escape therefrom has healed all
its wounds. There are many criminals
of his sort in the world, though not often
found in such exalted position.
THEBE 13
a very cheerful prospect that the Missis
sippi investigation, so-called, planned by
Morton and his fellow-conspirators in the
Senate, may come to naught after all.
The Senate contingent fund bos been
pretty well drained by tfce Spencer inves
tigation, and tho money - for the devil’s
work will have to be raised by a special
bill of appropriation, which must pass
both houses. It is not probable the
House will consent to such a prostitution
of the public money for purely partisan
ends, and the bloody shirt gang will
hardly consont to pay tho expenses out
of their own pockets. Won’t old Satan
rago and roar if thus baulked of his prey ?
Of course there is not the slightest dan
ger of he and Bontweil footing the bill
themselves, however much their heaits
bleed with a desire to expose the deviltry
of tho Miasisaippians and right tbe
wrongs of the loyl black lambs of that
Stale.
BABCOCK’S TRIAL
was a "sockdolager,” pecuniarily, to him.
The best information is that it cost him
in the neighborhood of $40,000, and that
what with other losses on real estate op
erations, and the general shrinkage in
values of that species of property, ho is
deuced hard up for ready cash. Old Zacb
Chandler testified before the Clyrnor
Committee on Tuesday that he had con
tributed $1,000 towards refilling Bab’s
depleted pockets, and the inference i3 that
other Cabinet officials also bad to ante.
What with these digs into loyi pockets,
and the failure of numberless other little
games that promised to pan out richly,
it iB feared that all is not well with the
hank accounts of many of the elect. Somo
people even say the “Boss” is in deep
water himself, and sometimes has to
chose a fiver pretty lively to meet emer
gencies. After all, there may be a here
after of financial unhappiness for even the
highest and mightiest of the garg who
have so long rioted on the substance of a
tax ridden people.
THE SILVER BILL,
as it is called, will not get through the
Senate as it passed the House. The
former body will certainly strike out that
section which makes tho silver dollar
legal tender to the amount of $50. and
coins of less denomination legal tender
to the amount of $25. Indeed such ac
tion has already been taken by the Fi
nance Committee, and will certainly be
sustained by the majority, 'i’he Senate
idea is to coin a new dollar easily diatin
guishable from the trade dollar, which
shall be a large tender up to $20, except
for custom dues ajidjnterest
being a legal tender for any amount.
The House may, however, refuse to yield,
and the country not have any silver
change at all to jingle in its pockets
when it it goes to the Centennial next
summer.
ARMY HEADQUARTERS,
as the wires have already told you,
will hereafter be in this city, and old
Tecumseh ia almost as happy as when
devastating Georgia in that march to tho
sea which has stained bis name with
such deep and damning shame. This
removal has also settled a controversy
that has been waged between the War
Department and the commander-in-chief
of the army for at least a fourth of a
century. It is said Sherman is very
jubilant over tho result, and of course
can afford to plaster the new Secretary
with all sorts of praise. The headquar
ters of the army will be in the War De
partment, where thoy were before being
moved to St. Louis. Sherman will reside
here, permanently, though his family
will continue to make their home at St.
Louis. How Belknap bears all this—he
and Sherman hate each other like poi
son, you know—is not known, but tho
inference is. that in the midst of other
troubles he finds time to indulge in the
luxury of a moderate amount of vigorous
cursing. I don't suppose Sherman has
been in such a beatific frame of mind
since he achieved his grand victory over
the women and cnildren of Georgia and
South Carolina.
BJLKNAP's COUNSEL,
Messrs. Jure Black, Montgomery Blair,
and Matt Carpenter, will not bo ready for
his trial on the 17th inst., and will ask
for an extension of two weeks in order to
complete their preparations for bis de
fence. I suppose it is a lawyer’s business
to serve all, but I cannot help regretting
that Judge Black i3 in the caao. He
seems to mo entirely out of his place.de
fending criminals who are the logical
results aDd legitimate offspring of a party
and principles he has combatted all his
life and which has denounced him as
worse tnan a rebel and traitor for tbe lost
sixteen years. This is m? notion, but as
I am not a lawyer, I suppose it oughtn’t
to count for anything.
GONE TO MEET BELKNAP.
Yon will, long before this reaches yon,
and if I am not utterly in the dark,* get
some very spicy details anent that model
loyalist and Christian statesman, Clapp,
Superintendent of the Government Print
ing Office. I tried to get tno whole
story this morning, but the vessel
wouldn’t -leak as liberally as I liked.
This much I secured: Clapp is short, so
far as known, about $3S,000 on one item
alone, and has been for two years. The
entire amount was $54,000 or thereabouts,
but he turned over $16,000 to the com
mittee, which he said remained of the
entire sum. The story goes that he
broke down utterly when the feline was
fairly out of the bag, and exclaimed he
was mined and would surely get ten
years in the penitentiary.” This is not
all of the ugly business by odds, but, as
I said before, I can’t, at this writing, get
enough to m_ike a special of.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Bristow went to Kentucky last night
to reernit his health, they say, bnt there
is a notion he has other business. Some
thing in the political line, and referring
to Cincinnati on a certain date in June.
Luck to him in his fight with the thieves
and thugs of bis party, no matter what
his motive.
The postal card business is on the in
crease every month. It nearly reached
twelve millions last month—to be exact,
just 11,740.500.
At least 20 per cent, of the force in the
Treasurer’s office in tbe Treasury De
partment will be discharged in a week,
on account of the exhaustion of the ap
propriation. Then we ehall hear another
nowl about the "Confederate” House
refusing to keep Union men and women
from starvation.
One Moseley who is, I believe, post
master at Talladega, Ala., and proprietor
of a half a dozen “ patent outside ” pa
pers of the scailawag odor, is in a little
scrape here- He printed certain postof
fice advertisements in his papers and
charged $3,700 therefor. A couple of
experts, of the same political faith, have
sworn the work was not worth more than
$2 500, and another official swore that he
refused to certify to the account until
peremptorily ordered to do so by "Jake ”
Martin then Sixth Auditor.
We have feasted on TitienB this, and
next week, will have another “ dainty
dish fit to set before a king,” as tho
nursery books say, in the shnne of Soth-
ern aa " Dundreary” and " DaTid Gar
rick.” When I say feasted. I mean oth
ers did, not yours truly, who had tickets
for an opera in which' she was billed to
appear but did not, on account of “indis
position.” As that means drunk or the
sulks, I was considerably riled. R.
Senator Eaton on the Sttnatten.
Senator Eaton made a tolerably lively
speech in Hartford just before the Con
necticut election. The Hartford Time*
abstract says:
"He believed but&singlo department
of the General Government (that of
State) had been administered honestly.
One of tho ablest men in Washington
says he would like to take a contract to
cany on the Treasury Department with
1,500 clerks, instead of 4,000. There
are hard-working, honest men in the
department, who are entitled to our
thanks; the drones are those who bring
discredit on the public service. He de
sired the reporters should say that when
they get hold of the whisky ring in New
Orleans, and they are after them now,
tho White House will bo touched. If
one place is rottener than another it is
that department called the Department
of Justice—he called it the department
of injustice. He knew that no man liv.
ing could perform all tho duties devolv
ing, on the Secretary of the Treasury.
In his opinion there should be two de
partments formed from tho one—ono of
public works, ono of commerce. Corrup
tion creeps in there without knowledge
of the head of the department, but not
in the 8tato, War and Navy Departments.
The head of the Postoffice Department,
Mr. Jewell, had got into new business.
The department had not paid expenses;
but there wero expenses it had paid—
sending men to Connecticut, to Mississip
pi and Alabama to aid in carrying elec
tions. Mr. Jewell might not know every
thing that took place in his department,
but he ought to.”
How Sawyer AYas Bled.
From tho Baltimore Gazette.]
Washington, April 7.—Tho House
Committee on Foatofficcs and Postroads
to-day continued their examination of
the books and papers of tho late F. P.
Sawyer, mail contractor. Numerous paid
notes and drafts wero identified by C. E.
Clark, Sawyer’s bookkeeper, showin;
among other things, that Sawyer paid
to Wm. n. Farran (designated in tbe
memorandum book examined yesterday
as one of the "sharks”) $30,000 on the
6th of June, 1872. A paid note for $7,-
500, endorsed by J. J. lliuds, was found,
accompanied with a memorandum
Sawyer’s handwriting, stating that this
was only one half the amount that the
"Hinds party” got from tho El Paso
Stage Company. The "party” cocsiste 1
of Hinds, of Alabama, and Messrs. Mc
Donald and Chedcsdar, of Arkansas. It
also appeared that Sawyer’s checks to
the amount of $3S 900 were paid to
Thomas J. Hood. The Committee on
Expenditures in the Postoffice Depart
ment examined H. D. Norton, who tes
tified that he wa3 appointed clerk to the
disbursing clerk of the Postoffice Depart
ment, at $1,200 per year, but that by an
order of Postmaster General Jewell, is
sued last December^ he had since been
paid $150 per month out of the special
appropriation for repairing the Depart
ment building and extending its base
ment. In reply to a question, the wit
ness said this was in direct violation of
law.
PACKARD’^ BLANKS.
No Need of Force Bills In Louisiana.
Washington Uortspoudence oi tho Chicago Tri
bune.]
lures in the Department of Justice is
conducting an examination into the af
fairs of United States Marihall Packard 1
office at New Orleans. Charges have
been made that Packard ha3 long been
engaged in issuing blank warrants for
distribution throughont the State, to be
used prior to the elections for the arrest
of political opponents. One witness has
testified before tha committeo that he
himseif sworo out eighty warrants be
fore one of the recent elections, and that
tho persons designated had been arrest
ed the day before the election. When
the question was aakod whothertho suits
were prosecuted after tho elections, the
witness answered in the negative, stat
ing that his purpose was accomplished
with tho arrest. Marshal Packard will
soon be summoned. The Louisiana del
egation in Congress appear to be con
ducting the case against Packard. The
United States Marshal of Texas is also
to bo investigate’d.
Railroad Through a Sea.
A singular sight is now presented to
passengers on the California Pacific
trains between Davisville and Sacramen
to. For miles the road passes through a
broad sea, stretching for an immense dis'
tance on either side. Tho water averages
three or four feet in depth. In some
places the top rail of fences is alone vis
ible, and occasionally houses may be
seen islanded in tho vast ocean and cut
off from oil npproach save by boats.
The water is not merely stationary, but
moving down tbe valley with more or
less rapidity. There is apparently a
hundred times more water on the tides
than in tho Sacramento river itself; and
the reflection is naturally suggested that
it all the swamp and tule laud oa the
western bank of the river should to re
claimed and protected from overflow by
dykes, the waters confined in such n nar
row channel would rise to an unprece
dented height and deluge the streets of
Sacramento. Although there has been
no rainfall for over a week, the water
draws off from the tulea very slowly, and
during the last few days the fall has been
very slight.—Vallejo Chronicle,
The White House Banditti.
Cnrt'Sehurz in tho Wertliche Post. |
The band is well arranged. Wherever
three or four scoundrels wero gathered
together in Grant's came, there he was
in the midst of them, in the person of a
brother, brother-in law, coasin or friend.
No custom-house or whisky ring could
divide its plunder without the Devil be
ing present to cry "Halves! "The ubiqui
tous Asmodeua, as Murphy in New York,
or Casoy in New Orleans, filled the
fathomless pockets, and wherever the
White House cast its shadow a brother
Orvil or a brother-in-law Dent came
forth out of it with extended palms. If
Shepherd and Babcock could make their
hundreds of thousands out of the District
Ring, and Belknap scarcely less out of a
single department, how shall we esti
mate the probable total sum ground out
of the toiling citizens and tax payers of
the country during eight long years, by
the well-organized band created by that
nepotism of the White House which has
thrown the chief patronage of the Ad
ministration into their dirty hands ?
Lamar on Woman's Rights,
From the Cincinnati Plaindealer.]
One of the strong minded in Washing
ton interviewed Col. Lamar of Mississip
pi the other day, saying she believed the
women of the South coveted the ballot.
‘Possibly,” said Mr. Lamar, “bnt do
you know what you want far more than
any franchise ? You want a husband and
baby!” The woman looked down
thoughtfully and murmured half to ter
sfels, "I wonder if that will ever h ap

you ever did before in your life!”
A. M. CLAPP'S FRAUDS.
Swl.idllnar In tbe Government Print
ing unice—The Fuuds >liut.
Special Dispatch to tbt Gazette.]
Washington, April 7.—A. M. Clapp.
Government Printer, wa3 before tho
House Committee on Printing to-day,
and convinced the committeo that his
management had been one of gross irreg
ularity, checkered with embezzlements,
extortions and frauds of a stupendous
character. He brought with him his
cash book, and claimed to have on hand
in his safe $50,000 from the sale of waste
materials, which amount experts testified
was a small sum, considering the quantity
of material disposed of from time to time.
The clerk of the committee was directed
to go to the printing office and count the
funds, finding only $16,257 99. Clapp
stud he could not explain this discrepancy
yesterday, but to-day he said that it was
paid out to bands employed in the print
ing office; that he was in the habit of
using this fund for that purpose and then
restoring the amount.
Tho committee wanted to know under
what authority of law he used funds in
this way, since there was an appropria
tion made for that purpose ? Section
3S17 of the revised statutes provides that
the congressional printer shall settle the
accounts of hisieceipts and disbursments
in tho manner required of other disburs
ing officers. It further appeared that
persons wno had work done at the print
ing office, which is authorized and paid
the money for, were not credited with
the payments, as the cash book, balanced
to date, showed. Clapp’s son, as agent,
hod deposited in his brother-in-law's
bank, the Metropolitan Savings Bank, of
which Ruff is cashier, $2,900, received
from the sale of congressional records to
congressmen and others.
Raff testified that the amount was
drawn out yesterday ; the deposits were
largely checks and orders on the Ser-
geant-at Arms of the House and clerk ef
the Senate, showing clearly the source of
the checks; the clerk employed by Clapp,
named Collins, who had charge of the
fund, said that it had been in his posses
sion all the time, locked up in a tin box.
Wm. P. Morrison, a large book seller,
testified that he had from year to year
purchased five hundred copies of the de
cisions of the Court of Claims, but not a
dollar was entered as having been re
ceived, for no other reason than that the
firm had not been called upon to pay.
Clapp said he did not know that the
firm owed the office a dollar, and that the
neglect must be attributed to bis subor
dinates. Another transaction showed a
payment of $234 to Philip & Solomons,
but for what the account did not set
forth.
Mr. Solomons testified that in March,
1872, his firm had on band a lot of blank
books they wished to sell the Treasury
Department, but tho law provided that
all such books should be furnished by tho
government printer. They were pur
chased, however, and the expense charged
to legal cap paper.
The examination to-day bothered Mr.
Clapp exceedingly. He was compelled
to mako admissions which criminated
himself, and be nervously arose from his
seat at one time and attempted to take
his account books and leave the room.
Tho chairman told him to leave the
books, as they would have to be exam
ined by tbo committee, whereas Mr.
Clapp pompously declared that he was
an officer of the Senate, and that the
House committeo was proceeding with
out authority. Tbo scene was very ex
citing ; but, as the Government printer
found it was useless to attempt to bully
the committee, he dropped his books and
left in an angry mood. Tho committeo
are of opinion that they will be war
ranted in presenting articles of impoach-
ment against Clapp, enumerating eight
counts in the articles. The law declares
that a disbursing officer who fails to ren
der his accounts for public money as
provided by law, shall bo deemed guilty
of embezzlement; shall be fined the
amount emoezzlod, and imprisoned not
less than six months, nor more than ten

Hnge Piles of New Silver Coin;
Washington correspondence of tho Now York
Tribune.]
Coin is being rapidly accumulated at
the Treasury, in anticipation of the re
tirement of the fractional currency. This
morning, $300,000 in silver was received
from San Francisco—$200,000 in dimes,
and $100,000 in quarters. An additional
$100,000 in quarters is expected to-mor
row or next day, which will complete
the present order, which is for $500,000.
The weighing of this last supply is going
on at the Treasury to-day, and it will be
stored in the vaults at once. The vaults
were examined yesterday by Supervising
Architect Potter as to their capacity, and
he expressed the opinion that there is
capacity for the $500,000 by storing the
coin in the upper and lower vaults. Both
vaults are to be strengthened at once,
however, as there is necessity for still
more coin, and orders will be forwarded
to San Francisco for additional supplies.
The manager of the Virginia Consolidat
ed Mining Company reports the product
of that mine for March as being over
$3,600,000.
“Bishop Beckwith’s Niece.”
From tho Savannah Morning News.]
I desire, through your columns, to call
attention to a rumor pervading the com
munity, started by an item in tho South
ern Cross about a month since. It is to
this effect: Fiist, that a niece of Bishop
Beckwith had been converted to the Rom
ish faith; and secondly, that the contro
versy of tho Bishop with the editor of
that paper on Papal Infallibility was the
cause of her conversion. A communica
tion from Bishop Beckwith has been.in
the hands of the editor since Tuesday,
March 28. Two issues of the Cross have
appeared, and the retraction has not been
made. I deny by authority the whole
story as without shadow of truth, and I
am prepared to prove it so.
