j A FORMIDABLE INDICTMENT. I Knglanrl a Nation of Thieves. Vom Out I,ondon Spectator. Dee,. 14. j 1 One of tbe ablot moralists we ever knew, J an much sterner to liltnsolf than to the world 'around bim, ued to say tbal ol all crime toed ' tbe one which showed the barest heart. It wee absolutely selfish, It nevtr eicusea Itself, by uomttifary passion, and it required nine time -ut ot ten the coolest calculation and loreslRbt. There Is io provocation to loreery, as tiiere miy oo to murder; no sad-leu, overrnHsiPrlng temp jUtlon to swindle, a thcie may be to many other rquftllv evil acts. If that In true, aid It is at all ee odit an exaggerated tram, Ens-laud n a bad one; lor there connot be a doubt that tbe master vice of the middle classes, we had almost "written their master pnssion, Is thieving-. We doubt If a race ever existed amonir whom norm. niarj dishonesty was so general or no deeply fleeted tbe structure ot society. We con sider ourcelves a virtuous people, the salt of the earth, and It is not too much to say that at this moment the basts of half our laws, tbe cause of ha f or more than half our administrative weakness, the root of llircc-ionrins of our commercial dilllcultU'S, li the well-founded brlicl that a middle-class Engllt-hinan, if he gels anything like a chance, Kill thieve, will expend his braiu, his time, anl Ills energies In able etlorts to steal money which Is not bis. What is the dry rot which Is destroy, ing hnglish adnilnistra .ion, Its directnes-i, Its eimplioit.r, and it lorce, but tbe certainty of the nation that every official, 11 left to himself and unmatched, will steal? Our Departments are hampered and shackled with Checks till they can hardly work, till individual power, and, theretoie, ludividnal genius, are suppressed; and the object of all the checks is not to pre vent inefficiency that in Knelind is not a crime, though elsewhere it is among the greatest or to obviate the chance of oppression, but to pre vent direct fraud, assaults of the vularest kind upon the national till. We cannot eet a navy, becue it is understood that la great estt blishmeuts like dockyards everybody not spe cially selected lor honefty will thieve. Our ntuiy arrangements break down incessantly, because ceiitrac'ors fcub-coutraciors, aud -purveyors generally, are supposed to be steeped to the lips in fraud. There net a contract given in a (Government office in which some oue has not secured a "perquisite," or an "advantage," or a prout,"of which he would not, for the world, liavchis employers formally conscious; which bas not, in fact, given some one, usually a gen tleman, the opportunity of thieving. Our whole system of providing lor State needs by '"open tender," the stupidest of all conceivable sys temsfor its theory is that Jones Is Kobtnsou's equal as a manufacturer, which Jones is not is onenlv based on the assumption, an ass u motion pcrleciljlrue, that without open tender tbe de partment will sell the contract, will, in fact, Bteul a large sum out of the National Treasury. Our municipal difficulty is jobbery, that is, theft the practice every municipality id certain unless watched to iudulste in, of robbing the 'Ht.i-zeiiR tn pnrirh i n nn mpmhnra nr nthnr ) favored individuals. Even Parliament, even the Cabinet, the flower, or supposed flower, of Par- UiamentHry lilc, is not benud the. sarre suspi cion. Wo dare not let the Chiefs of Departments icilor themselves in a most important function. "hat of making the great contracts, choosing, in met, me agems iney think ablest, because we are certain that they will thieve, not indeed lor themselves, but for their party. Iheyj will give Jones 1,000,000 to do vhat Robinson would do for 750,000, because Jones votes tor them that is, they will misap propriate 260,000 ot the money for which they are trustees. Look at our railway stsiem. It is the greatest and omst important business organization ever devised by a nation, and it is breaking down undei habitual t belt. Directors, animated by the hope ot "his-h quotations tor , shares" tbat is, of robbing bayers, by selling plated goous for 6ilver are deeiunng in all di rections fictitious dividend--; shareholder, ani mated by the same thirst for plunder, ate wink ing at directors' ac's; con true ors are sending in fictitious tenders at absurd prices; lawyers sell ing tbe companies, their own clients, to the vermin who eat their caoital up; traffic managers making pretereLtial, that is, fraudulent, bar gains for carnage; every petty official taking tribes to grant privileges his employers have not bold. Look at our comn eree, shuttered at this moment by every variety of elaborate and carefully devised plunder ; by companies whose prospectuses are drawn, np with the intention ol robbing tho ignorant; by banks which make over snarenoioers- money to director?: bv manufacturers who will soil ' bboddy for cloth; by tradesmen who caunot be trusted to avoia actual Bieauug oi pennies ironi women and children, actual theft, of coppers outol a blind man's tray, by laise weigh' aud measures. Is there a trade lett in which half the tradesmen do not live Dy petty imposition that is. by theit, by selling goods as bargains, which are really dear, by enormous a luliera tioDB by, in fact, diiect robberies of one kind or another? giiculture is the most honest; and a k a really God-tear ng dealer ol Mark lane what he thinks of the mornls ot his trade whether be could remit his watchfulness for an instant a watchluluess directed wholly against theft without being ruined. What is a "bear" combination to unduly depress the price of goods but an elaborate theft? We cat, not, in London, send goons to auction without a cer tainty of robbery, and we are bitter, all of us, against "kneck-outs;" but who whips the worst iorm of 'knock-out-," the) circulation Fof rumors intended to make wottnlens shares eeem valuable, so that iheir holder may plun der the unwary? When "bears" run down shares there is indeed an outcry; but when tbey inn them up, wbo cares for the plundered public 1, The very dislike of thpft, unless committed by violence, seems to have died out ot the national mind. City editors deuounce search into rob beries as a "viudictive proceeding," and advise compromise as the only mode by which any thing can bo saved. Transaction which are thelts of the most unblush'ng kind bring to their pernetra'.ors no rebuke, to the sufferers no sym pathy. It a man stands on London Br idee s.ll Irg brass rings lor gold, tho police ultimately, and as an extrenie measure, make him walk ou; but if lie robs a thousand widows successlully, by a prospectus deliberately framed to eeeeiv'e, he gets at once into I'urliaiueu'. That, we thall be told, bas always been to; but the new evil is, tbat we pre Becoming conscious of such tilings aiid still permit, them and was'e half our national energy in eud-avcrs not to put them down, but to prevent their occurring on too broad a scale. Etery organization we contrive is cumbrous to decrepitude, and the reason is tl.at we dare trust no oue; tbat we know if the woi khouse-master is left absolute he will thieve; ii he is only iii'pec'ed, the inspector will be "made pleasant;" it tbe Department is lelt to look alter the in-pector, it will sell him immunity, not, indeed, for cah, but for politi cal support. There 1-- not a deoattmenl In K.ng land in which cne-third of the expense mlcbt not be caved if men could be a-sumed to be baiely "law-hoDest'or in which, if we did assume it, the nation would not lose twico as much as it does. There is notngre;it shop in London whose proprietor U tot paying a third of his gross aggregate of salaries to persons whose real work is to prevent plunder a plunder now a o dreaded Irotu its universality tnat immense brisn has been exerted, and is peine exerted, to prevent salesmen ever touching cash at all to enable children to do that purl of the work, as they do in managing lotteries. Every publio Hmuberoent is becoming an organized arrange ment lor plunder, every invention of science, from (he telcgiaph to the pa' ent office, Is a device to aid the quiet eai rotter, everv needot humanity is a new belptotbe dishonest to prow rich. Aoart altoeetber from the mjury to the national morals, tbe waste of all this is becoming pro digious, aud will ultimately become unbearable; will either produce a cure, or, by engaging half society to watch tbe other hair, will paralyze tt for protrress, and even for exeitiou. At Ibis moment, the count'j, as a whole, is paying, or rather beeinning to pav, a sum in one depart ment of work alone which would ruin any other land. We do not hp-itate (o say tnat the habitual dishouesty oi the rnglish middle class, their habit of thievintr whenever they get the chance without actually tak ng silver sooon, will cost KDfilaud one bait of the lour or five fiunired miliious it has expended ou the railway ajstem; that tho country is now pajtug millions THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, a year In tbe mere, effort a remltles efToit to check ofhcisl corruption; tbat it is losinir suras to which even these are trifles, became great improvements cannot be made for fear of universal plunder. If Parlla n. ent but knew where to find decently honest as cuts it could rebuild our cities, rearrange our tenures, suppress pauperism by insurances, pay half the national debt by absorbing the nearly ruined railway system. What stops, to take a simile example, a 8'ate manaeemeot ot tbe rail ways, which, by halving the gross cost of otn munlcation, might donblo the national power? Himply tbe openly expressed conviction of men's mindsthat.il the btate had tbe railways, Mr. Gladstone is the only man who could be tru&ted not to "job" them, that is, to thieve; aud the till frlghlluller latent thought that Mr. Glad stone shows weakness, "puerism," in being so absolutely beyond supiclon. The worst of all this Is. that we see no cure for it. Every nation sutlers from periods of violence, or of bigotry, or of apparent weak ness, and alter a time they pass aay, to reap pear at more and more uislant intervals, but the habit of theft is in its nature chronic. The desire for "comfort" without work, which is Its toot, is one wLich civilization every year intensities, and there are no barbarians lettto bid civilization halt for centuries, that its poi sonous vap tb may have time to blow off from tbe lace of tbe world. Punishment does little, as we see, for we already punish offenses against property more than olleuses against lile, and the only effect is to cnange burglary for swin dling, robbery for forgerv, "dacoity" by pro fessional ruffians tor "dscoity" by smooth respectables, banded toeether to rob the iiino raut by plausible prospectuses. If Claude Duval were olive now he would not be fool enough to rob couches. He would get np a tea company. The single remedy, we fear, is national poverty, which, by making all men watchmen, prevents the very inception of crime; and, as retribution comes for all things evil, we may rely on it that sooner or later, it this utter demoralization lasts, poverty will be the na tional portion. Oue grand evil of our villages' is larceiiy an evil so widespread that it seems bejond the correction ot those who suffer; but let a thief go in o a poor country Bengal or Berne and try to steal the husks of tbe rice or tbe fallen grapes, and be will learn once for all that there is one and a bitter preventive for habitual theft, the conversion of every man with a shilling into a savage watch-d"g over hla pennies. It 1s poverty through loss of trade and over-taxatioD, which, if this contemptible crime spreads further, will be upon us; and when it conies we warn officials, contractors, directors, and the like they will have a bad quarter ot an hour. W ben the Conventioa sent army contractors by tbe dozen to the guillotine, soldiers' shoes ceased to be made of brown papen OBITUARY. Tho Rit. Ilanry Ilarbawgb, D. D. The Kev. Henry Harbaugh, D. D., a leading divine in the German Ketormed Church, and a jrofessor in the Theological Seminary at Mer cersburg, Pa., died at his home ou Saturday evening. Dr. Harbaugh was born at Waynes boro, Franklin county. Pa., October 28, 1817, and spent his early years ou a larni. He com menced the trade of a carpeuter in his nine teenth year, but soon turi.ed his attention to teaching, in the meantime pursuing his studies In an academy dming the summer. Iu 1840 he entered Marshall College, at Mercersburg, and the same time studied di vinity in tbe theological seminary at that place. Tbe college and seminary were at that time presided over by Dr. Neviu, a man of profound a'tamn.ents. aud of some eminence as a theo logical thinker. The Traciarian movement in England was then attracting much attention, and Dr. Kevin became the apostle of a move ment in this country with similar teudcncies, but many dissimilar features, since known as the Mercersburg Philosophy. Mr. Harbaugh, in common wi'h the many young men who lis tened to the teachings of Dr. Kevin, could not but be profoundly impressed with the peculiar views of his instructor. In 1843, when he was Hi ensed to preach, his zeal was quickened by the famous "Anxious Bench" controversy of the teacher he had learned to love, and he became a zealous supporter of the Mercersburg philoso phy. His erst pastora'.e wag at Lewisburg, Pa., where he remained fiora 1843 to I860. Tbe taste for literary pursuits which characterized his youth and early manhood never lorsook him, and ouring bis pHMoiHge at Lewl&'jurn he continued his studies with unabated Industry. In 1848 he published his hist work, entitled "Heaven,'" which passed through many editions; and this wastol.owed at intervals by other works of a similar character, in 1H57 he published tbe "Lile of Kev. Michael Schlater," the pioneer pieacher ot the German Reiormed Church in America, and shortly a terwards, "The Fathers ot tbe Germau Reformed Church in Europe aud America." Dr. Harbaugh was author of a num ber of other works and a volume ot poems, and etKor ot 'Jhe Ouardian, a monthly magazine which ha commenced in 1860, the publication of which is Biill continued. He served as pastor of tbe First Geiman Reformed Church at Lan caster for a number ot "years, aud atterwards at Lebanou, until chosen Professor of Church His tory in tbe Theological tsercmary at jueroers burg, in 18C6. He then removed to that place, where he continued his labors until his death. At the beginning of the present year he revived the Mercershurg Hecitw, a publica tion of considerable weight iu the German Reformed Church, and well known among Protestants lor its supposed Roman Catholic tendencies. Besides acting as the editor ot this publication, he contributed all the lives of German Reformed ministers iu tbe Theologi cal Cjclopediaol Dr. McClmtock.the first volume of which was recently published, and wroie much lor newspapers and other periodicals. An.ong the mo.-t noticeable of bis poetical effu sions are his attempts to preserve the. vernacular of the Pennsylvania Germans, a dialect that is lat passing awav. Of these, a poem called "Das Alt bchulha'us on DerRnck" enjoyed a ioe popularity among those who understood the conglomerate dialect of the "Pennsylvania Dutch." No one ever oetore succeeded so well in this novel species of composition as Dr. Har baugh, and beside the reputation ho acquired in this country, he became well known iu Ger many for his remarkable specimens of one of tbe vulgar diulects ot the German tongue. The potto we have instauced is better known there than anti ng English readers at home, but Dr. Harbaugh deserves much credit tor the photo graph of tb past he has bequeathed to the de scendants ol the "Pennsylvania Dutch." Y. Y. Iribune. General Walter II. Btavana. The Iberville (La.) South, ot the 7th inst., informs ns of the death ot Brigadier-Oeueral Walter H. Stevens. He was a ua'ive of New Iork, graduhted at West Point in 1849, and re mail ed in the United States army, attached to he Engineers, until the war broke out. He bad married a daughter of the late Valery Herbert, ol Iberville, in Louisiana and espoused the cause of his adopted State. During the war he was attached to General Beaureeard's cnnimaud as Engineer officer, with raiik of BriHadier General, and surrendered at Appoin-Utox Court llousc at its c oi.e. Alter this he went to Menico, where he was chief engineer ou the railroad from Vera Cruz to Mexico. He leaves a widow and two cbildieit. Colonel Horatio Grooms. The S'ale Oazitie chronicles the death of Colonel Horatio Grooms, an oldci'izen ot Austin, Texas. He was found dead near his bouse on 'he moining of the 17th inst., and the conclu sion is tbat be was thrown liom his horse, and. being advanced in years, tbe shock proved fatal.
