THE DRAWBACK FRAUDS. ft'tfsw upecies of fraud has beon devised in that hot-bed of corruption, the New York Custom House, by which the nation has Already been robbed by one gang of rascals of $700,000. By tho collusion of corrupt officials, the aid of a complaisant notary public, and the services of a Washington claim agent, rlie sum named was obtained during the years 18JC, 18G7, and 188 on fraudulent claims for drawback based on the law providing that when goods on which an internal revenuo tax has bsen paid are exported, this tax shall be refmnded by the Government. We pub lished the particulars of this nefarious transaction in The Telegraph of yesterday. The array of evidence appears strong enough to secure the conviction and punishment of the leading offenders; but it will be impos riblo to avoid a constant repetition of frauds of much greater importance while the nation persists in the policy which concentrates th: bulk of the Custom House business of the whole country at New York. The magnitude of the transactions in that estab lishment and the haste with which they are conducted render it impossible to insure a watchful supervision of the conduct of all the clerks and other appointees, and the most faithful and vigilant of Collectors cannot pro tect the Government against the innumerable schemes which are concocted to plunder it. The true remedy is to diffuse the Govern mental transactions appertaining to foreign commerce fairly over the country, entrusting the Custom House in each leading city with the ascertainment as well as the collection of duties on all goods brought from abroad by its importers, whether they are first landed on American soil at New York or elsewhere. An equitable distribution of this business would afford all the Custom Houses time and opportunity to examine goods, invoices, entries, and certifi cates thoroughly, and bring the transactions at New York within manageable limits. Until this reform is effected tho nation must expect a continuation of a thousand species of rascality in the great Wall street hot-bed of corruption. Many millions of gold revenue are lost annually in that office, and these losses will never be materially diminished while it remains unnecessarily overcrowded with Lusiness. THE TRESBYTEIUAN REUNION. The consolidation of tho Old and New Scihuol branches of the Presbyterian Church w.is finally accomplished at Pittsburg yesterday by the Assemblies convened to officially cuuut up the votes of the various Presbyteries on the reunion proposition. Every New School Presbytery had voted affirmatively, and a larg3 majority of the Old School Presbyterians also approved reunion. By this action the combined Church presents an aggregate of M Synods, 25G Presbyteries, 422!) ministers, and 431,4015 members. A hope was also expressed that at no distant period all the other branches of Presbyteriainsm would be . combined in the same organization; and as this appears to be the tendency of the age, the fullilmeut of this desire is not improbable. The formal consolidation was made in a very affecting and impressive manner, and it is to bo fol lowed up by an effort to raise a largo sum of money as a thank-offering. A General As sembly of the united Church is to be held in this city in May next. The Spaniards are still in a quandary about Tdling their vacant throne. Those who are anxious to assume the purple we not want ed, and those who have hitherto figured as the most popular candidates have shown a modest hesitation about accepting that is re markable. The young Duke of Genoa has of late taken the precedence of the other aspi rants, and his chances for succeeding to what was once the proudest throno in Europe appear to be very promising. A new obsta cle is now thrown in his way, however, by tho opposition of his mother, who objects to his assuming the responsibilities and incur ring the dangers of the position. It is some thing new for the mother of a genuine Euro- nean prince to make an objection of this kind, and it is a significant wgn of the times, indicating that king-craft is losing some of its attractions, or that it is becoming a more difficult business than it was at one time. It is evident that the Duke of Genoa, if he ac cepts the throne of Spain, will, to use a vul garism, have a hard road to travel; and his mother proves herself to be a sensible woman by refusing to allow herself to be so blinded by her ambition as not to see the peril in which her son will bo placed. We expect that, after all, the Spaniards will finally be obliged to adopt our suggestion, and persuade some smart Yankee to come over and king it for them. m " ' lyvvnurTtrATION OF THE BEADS Ob V1TY DEI'j 1 1 tt iri?rnT'iLi v.Mtml7 afternoon a caucus of the Repub lican members of Councils was held, for the purpose of nominating the heads of the city departments. There whre several contestants for the positions of Chief Engineer of the Water Works and Agent of the Girard Estate, and a very decided effort was made to oust the present incumbents. The gentlemen who now manage those departments, how- to overcome all opposition, and the entire list of officers as at present constituted were renominated on the first ballot. The nomi nees are Mahlon If. Dickinson, Chief Com missioner of Highways; James Work and, Hiram Horter, Commissioners of Highways; Frederick Graeff, ' Chief Enginoer ' of the Water Works; Charles E. i Smith, Superin tendent of the' Girard Estate; Samuel 8. Cavin, Agent of the Girard Estate; and Jona than II. Pugh, Commissioner of Markets and City Property. These gentlemen during the time they have boen in office . have performed their duties in a manner entirely satisfactory to the public, and the action of the caucus yesterday in renominating them was a proper recogni tion of their services, and it will meet the general approval of the llepublican citizens of Philadelphia. . All of these departments are important, and their proper administra tion is a matter that concerns every citizen. When the right men get into such offioes they ought to be kept there, and as tho nomi nations made yesterday are equivalent to elections, we have an assurance that for the coming term at least jho business of these municipal departments will bo conducted in a proper and acceptable manner. V11EEK. Or all the terms used in the English lan guage to express an idea, tho word "cheek" is, perhaps, the least understood and tho most abused. Ability, confidence iu one's own powers, understanding, and absolute talent, are all usually placed under the one common head of "cheek;" and yet there is really as great a difference between tho real meaning of the terms as there is between darkness and daylight. Talent, as usually understood, is a culture of those ideas engendered by doep study and re search. Tact is a natural gift with which some men are endowed by their Creator, and differs from talent, because it grasps all things as it finds them, and makes use of them, while talent is pondering over the probabili ties. Tact is the natural bud of a thriving plant; talent is the artificial flower of a plant which, but for the care bestowed upon it, would droop and be crushed before it had vitality enough to make itself heard. Tact is the element which makes the really great man. Talent is the faithful servant.- "Cheek" is a talent. It comes from culti vation, and is generally found where the ground is least fruitful. Confidence is most usually put under the head of "cheek," and yet it is vastly different from it. "Cheek" will force its way to places where it is not wanted, and when unmasked will be kicked out for its trouble. Confidence demands its light to be heard, and will win plaudits and encouragement from those of understanding for its unceasing watchfulness, cave, and courage. Cheek is the natural production of igno rance and want of understanding, but is sel dom, if ever, innate in anybody. As an ex ample, or rather as a hiniile, wo take George Francis Train as a man of "cheek."' He is blustering, noisy, and, after' nil, carries no mental weight witn niui. Wc could easily select a living simile, of tho other idea, but it will answer the purpose to simply state that IJnfus Choate was au excellent ex ample of the man of tact, or confidence. Added to his natural taot, he had cultiva tion, and what his natural abilities pointod out he invariably carried to a successful conclusion. Wo select these two namos Train and Choate because they' are both known to our day and generation. "Cheek" never made Astor, Peabody,1 or Girard the men they were. Confidence, tact, did ! "Check" made Uarnum, and countless other men like him, who have or will sink to tho grave without leaving a mark behind them, save of their deceit and humbuggery. Among the statesmen of the present age, Douglas and Lincoln were tho men of tact and confidence. It is said that questions fre quently came before Mr. Douglas of which he was almost entirely ignorant, and yot we find him grasping the line of argument and mas tering the subject while still in course of con sideration, and finally expressing himself upon it as clearly and as learnedly ns those who gave it a lengthy considera tion. Mr. Lincoln , never pretended to understand a subject 'which he really knew nothing about, but every man, woman, and child in tho land knows that no sooner was the matter placed before him than he would select his own analysis, and nine times out of ten bis grouuds woro secure. He, like Douglass, was confident, but no man ever saw in cither, anything that could be called "cheek." Nowhere than in politicians is "cheek" more plainly visible, in fact, it would ap pear, and no doubt is, one of the prime ele ments of success. Tho art of fawning and playing the lickspittal is the natural aacom poniment of "cheek;" and there again it dif fers from contidonce, because tho man who is confident of his own ability never stoops to cultivate the : acquaintance ot a man who does not himself desiro the J ac quaintance. ' "Cheek" is submissive and servant-like in the presence of those who employ him; but he is heartless, and when tho for tune of his present master is on tho wane, he quickly flies to tho other side, and adds his kick to those already being administered to the man who, up to this tjino, has been his friend. Confidence is always manly. Confi dent that he is right, he fears no man, nnd is the same before your face that he is behind your back. "Cheek" will Hatter and cajole; confi dence expresseshis opinion, when asked, plainly and without deceit. But few men are iiu pervious to flattery it is far more pleasant than a blunt opinion, no matter how true the opinion may be and this is one reason , why meman of "cueeli is generally lue moso sua ccssfia man iu the politioid arena. The pub lie, the K00d, dear, easily-gulled publio loves flattery uivcli better than an individual does, although itSfcflfecta are not so visible, and Uio man who pampers the publio by telling them that they ore all good people, without regard U WUtC, tjc., JJ rjubjjj; wjnt njyj man who points out the wrong doings will lose. ."'.. ' The confident man ia not a "cheeky" man. The elements that go lo make tip the one cannot be found in the other. - The one is entitled to our greatest respect, the other to bur most unmitigated scorn and he who is accustomed to use the term "cheek" should first carefully analyze his ihan ' before he ap plies it, or may find, when too late to mend, that he has cruelly wronged a fellow being to whom society, and perhaps himself, owes much that is really good and commendable.

Paul by a direct line, 14T miles shorter than any other. It runs through the great eon 1 Holds of Southern Iowa to the North, where coal is iudlspeusable and must be carried. It runs from the great lumber regions of ttie North, through a district of country which U destitute of this prime necessity. IT DOES NOT KUN THROtTCIH A WII.DKKNKHH, Where it would wait for j ears for a popu.lu.tlon to give it business, but through a tier of counties which are now producing about twenty million bushels ot grain, most of which is freight for railroads. Forty-Are miles are just ilnlshed, and the Super intendent reports that on the portion open for busi ness the net earnings are more than the interest liabilities. Sixty miles more are graded, and a million and a half of dollars have already been expended on the work. The mortgage Is made to the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, and bonds can be issued only at the rate of 10,000 per mile, or only half the amount upon some other roads. Special security is provided for the principal and for the payment of interest. First mortgages npon most railroads are the very safest investments, and, so far as we can learn, there Is not a single completed line in the Northwest which 18 not only paying its Interest, but a good dividend npon its stock. The immense grain and otter freights to be car ried away, and tho domestic supplies to bo brought In, ensure a profitable business. First Mortgage Bonds for so small au amount upon a road running through such a rich and already well-settled part of Iowa, can well be recommended as a perfectly safe as well as very profitable invest ment. At the present rate they pay about ten per cent, on the investment. Over $400,010 have already been taken by the Company's oillcers and others in terested in the oterprise.
