Htlpatrlck Redtvlvns. Wl regret tle necessity which requires ns again to trouble the Mlaiater to Chili with an irray of faota which may poBaibl agaia dis turb the sweetness of his temper. Bat Gene ral KUpatriok saw proper to wind up his oration at the Aaadeuy of Musto on the even ing of January 21 by denounolng an artiule in these oolumns as a string of falsehoods, and Subsequently authorized the Evening Bulletin j to oorreot certain, "rumors industriously oir- j culated by his enemies" a oourae on his part ; whioh has prompted an investigation, the j result of which we proceed to detail. j The first point Ibid down by authority of , General Kilpatrick id to the effect that he "does not receive one cent while on a leave of absence from Lis salary of $10,000 per annntn." We have before us an official abstract of the coi ditiou of his account with ti e Treasury Department, certified to by C. 1 M. Walker, the Fifth Auditor of the depart- , ment, which will probably be regarded as a 1 better authority on that subject than , General Kilpatrick himself. From this 1 document it appears that the ostensible Miuis- ier to Chili has drawn upcn the Treasury between the dates of December 15, 18C5, and j November 7, 1SU8, for the sum of $32,101-31, on account of salary, contingent expenses, and jobs by exchange. In addition to this, he is charged, on the botks of the Treasury De partment, with $1534 93 as tax on salary, and with $lG4-73 for dill'?reice between American and Chilean gold, making a grand total of $S3,800-97. Of the amount received by him, all excepting $1030-90 was in gold. lie is credited with $25,250 lor salary to June 30, 18G8; Wltfc $1098 39 for postage, stationery, ncunpaptrs, etc., betwten April 1, 18(30, and June 30, 1808; and with $1,014-54 for Iobs on exchange on drafts, making a total of $29,862 03. The diffci nee between the debit and credit sides of his account is therefore 3038-04 in favor of the United States. As Lis leave of absence did not conimeLctt until about August 20, 1868, he is entitled to a further credit of about $190 still ltaviug a balance against, him of about $2548. 1 ut we believe that,, under the law as it Ptatd?, he is entitled to two months' full t alary during his leave of absence. Tbi3 makes a further reduction of about $1030 leaving him indebtod to the Government in the tnm of $018 only; but while the amount is thus reduced, General Kilpatriok's assertion that he does not re ceive one oest by way of ealary during his leave of absence is disproved, and shown to be one of the "rumors industriously circu lated by his enemies" which he unfortunately corroborates, instead of denying. It is next deolared that, "on the contrary he (General Kilpatrick) pays the expenses to and from Santiago, Chili, for himself and family, a sum amounting to not less than $2500 in gold." If the expensej of his jour . ney to and from Santiago we have not yet heard of hifl return are correctly stated here, it shows that his "family" is somewha larger than we had imagined it to ba. The entire statement on this point, however, is slightly counteracted by another statement, for whioh we have good authority. When Kilpatrick commenced his negotiations with the Republican Committee for stumping the country in behalf of Grant and Colfax, he de manded that they should pay all the expenses -of his wife and ohildren to and from Chili, and his salary for the time of his absence, if he did not receive it from the Government. The com mittee, desiring to uphold the Minister to Chili in his laudable desire to serve the good cause at his own expense, declined to oomply with this demand, but finally compromised the matter by paying him $1000, for whioh they now have his drafts. Next in order, the "enemies" of Kilpatrick are reminded that "he never received a leave of absence during the whole time of the war, except when wounded, and onoe to attend the font ral of his wife." The "enemies" in ques tion assert, however, that he was onoe absent from his post in the field, while engaged in a - certain mule speculation; but as Kilpatrick authorizes so statement on that point, we are at liberty, we suppose, to believe that he was not absent on leave for that purpose. The late General L. C. Baker, Chief of the National Detective Police, it is understood, was more familiar with the circumstances of this specu lation than any other person saving KUpatriok himself. Then we come to the following sentences in the authorized statement: "Almost immedl fctely after the war he left for Chili, where he has remained until within less than five months. In other words, he has been at his post almost three years." We fear.that this assertion, like some of the others made by authority of General Kilpatrick, is somewhat extravagant. Before leaving for Chill he oer tainlr stumped New Jersey, during the fall campaign of 1865, and his first draft on the Treasurr from Santiago w.as dated marcn i 180. while his' ample allowanoe for contln cenoles in the way of "postage, stationery, newspapers, eto." did not begin until April 1, 1 866. On this pointhowever, we have made no previous assertions, and therefore decline a oon' troversy. But we are prepared to say that Kil ptrlokrPu64 for BlxjaontLa1 leave of absenoe from his legation, on May 12, 1368. The State Department on the 8th of June granted half of his request, giving him three months' leave, to commenoe with the reoeptlon of the document in which it was conveyed, about the 20th of August. On the 9th of November he again resolved to sacrifloe his time and salary, and applied for an extension for three months. This demand was likewise dis counted by Seoretary Seward, who, on the 11th of August, granted two months' addi tional leave; and finally, on the 21st of Janu ary, 1800, a further extension until the 1st of March next was granted. The next paragraph in the statement "au thorized by General Kilpatrick" runs thus: "lie has never 'exactnd' $100 aspeeob, and the rf cords of the National Knimblioan Committee will substantiate t be statement,. On I tie con trary, be has spoken repeatedly, for whlob. Hprvlee be Iirh not received, nor did be ask, one cent even paying bin own expenses. If any one of tqnal means baa ilonomore for ttie party tban be, let him speak." As an offset to this, the $1000 paid him by the National Republican Committee may be taken, with the further tact, for which we have authority rather better than Kllpatrick's ipue dixt, that in his canvass of New York and New Jersey during the last campaign he re ceived from the local committees from $100 to $150 per night, according to the best bargain that he could drive with them. Conoerning the next point, we quote from the Salem (Mass.) Register of January 2S the following paragraphs: "How THIS WORM) is Given to Lyi.vo! The Philadelphia Bulletin claims to be itulttorl.ad by General Kiinairlclt to make sundry as-i-jr-Uons, atnoDg which is the following: '"Third. It Is charged thai he received IWO0 for stumijlng agatcst Baiir. lu amwer to tbat, ire will Male tha lie did nut receive oneceut bit pH out of bis own pocket almost sou. This can ba proved.' 'We apprehend that theie Is more tban one Individual iuHalem who might be summoned as witnesses on this point, such an assertion may answer for the latitude of Philadelphia, but. it will never do lor the Fifth Massachuset ts district. The recklessness of such a statement is beyond beli&f." Our previous statement on this point was a mere reference to the rumor that he had re ceived $2000 for stumping the Fifth Massa chusetts district against General Butler, every cent of which, the latter has said, he earned. It appears that the leadership of the anti Butler element in the district was held by a former postmaster of Salt in, who during the war served on Kilpatriok's staff. This cir cumstance probably accounts for Kilpatriok's part in the matter. II id former staff oflioer induced bim to break off some of his engagements in NeT York and New Jersey, despite the protest of the National Kepiblican Committee, and then paraded him through General Butler's district ! in regular menagerie style, with a big tent and a baud of lnnsk. Great crowds of people rutdied to sen the show, and then went to the polls and voted almost solidly for But ler. Kilpatrick ddmauddd $200 per night for his services as the chief attraction of this travelling menagerie, and it was promised him; but we learn now that there is some doubt alout the arrangement having been fulfilled, as one of Kilpatriok's drafts on the ex-staff officer for a largn gum was protested on its way through the banks. When the officers of the National Republican Committee protested against his raid into General But ler's district, it is positively asserted by those who ought to know that he sent two messen gers to Galena, 111., to obtain the endorsement of General Grant, but without success. The last point made in Kilpatriok's autho rized "correction" is simply that he "has deliv ered his lecture fifteen times free." By a very seat device on the evening when he appeared at the Academy of Mueio, he led the audienoe to believe that he was delivering it free on that occasion, and while they were labor' ing ur.der this delusion they tendered him a boisterous round of applause. That he was to receive nothing whatever for his empty eloquence that even ing was the impression left upon his audi tors; but, on the contrary, he was, on the fol lowing morning, paid $200, according to the agreement with him. He was then told that the oommittee had expected a full house as the result of his popularity, but that, there being less than a thousand people present, the expenses would swallow up all the receipts. Upon being urged to make some allowanoe for the benefit of the Monument Association, KUpatriok thereupon handed back $50, and left the city with $150 in his pocket and a mingling of wrath and disgust in his heart. As far aa we are advised, he has no present intention of stopping in Philadelphia on his way to Santiago. If he should ohanoe to change his mind, neither the Twenty-first ward nor the Germantown Soldiers' Monu ment Association will be likely to request another burst of eloquence from his lips. Army Keforme. Thb House Military Committee is now engaged in considering what measures are necessary or expedient for the more efficient manage ment of the army and the reduction of the military expenses of the Government. Seo retary Schofield has presented his views on the questions of army retrenchment and reform to the oommittee, and be proposes a number of important changes, the most pro minent of which is that the War and Navy Departments should be under one Secretary, the military branch to be managed by a general and the naval by an admiral. A great objection to this p roposition is that it would rednce the number of Cabinet officers, and Its donbtful expediency under any ciroum stanoes will cause Congrees to hesitate about adopting it. The majority of Seoretary Schofield's recommendations appear, however, to be extremely judioious, and calculated not only to save money to the Treasury, but greatly to promote the efficiency of the army. With regard to the propriety of the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department, we do not suppose that there is any difference of opinion outside of Congress among disin ' terested persons; and there 1b a general desire on tbe part of the people that Congress will 1 accede to the wUhes ol Grant,' BoLofleld, Ber- man, and other offloers who are in favor of this remedy for Indian outrages, as well as for the thieving and rascality generally that have characterized the management of the Indian Bureau attaohed to the Interior Department. In the army itself Seoretary Sohofleld pro poses to consolidate the Quartermaster, Com missary, and Paymaster's Bureaus into one, the Ordnance and Artillery into another, and the Engineer and Coast Survey into a third. This would give three bureaus instead of seven as at present, and the ohange would not only save expense, but would greatly facilitate the transaction of business. We believe that the experiences of the war fully demonstrated to our army offloers not only the expediency, but the necessity of consolidating the three first-named buroaus. In the navy, the du ties of paymaster and commissary are per formed by a single officer, and with such ex cellent results that the propriety of adopting a similar system in the army is scarcely doubtful. Most of the arguments in this oase would apply with equal force to the union of the other bureaus men tioned, and not the least of the good results that would follow would be the saving of a vast amount of red-tape and cir cumlocution in the transaction of business, a reduction of the supernumerary force, and a more efficient management generally. The abolishing of brevet is another matter that Secretary Schofield is in favor of, and we be lieve that in this he will receive the concur rence of a majority of persons, both in and out of the army. Brevets are, at the beat, but empty honors; and that they are a source of great inoonvei.ience and annoyance in many respects are sufficient reasons why they should be done away with. The members of the Army Committee are said to coincide with the Secretary, and we hope that they will present the subject to Congress in such a manner as to secure the adoption of the measures of reform without any unnecessary delay. Amo.no all the departments of the Govern ment, none have had their permanent labors so much increased by the war and its con comitant, the national debt, as the Treasury. The Secretary, who is entrusted with the super vision of the customs and internal revenue, the publio expenditures, and the public debt, must possess marvellous capacities to be enabled to act wisely and promptly in refer ence to all theBe subjects, and to protect the financial interests of the nation at all points. It i3 notorious that the revenue lavs are constantly evaded, and one of the inoat important of the obvious reasons for their imperfect execution is to be found in the onerous labors imposed upon the Treasury. An effort was made at the last session of Congress to remedy this evil by erecting the Internal Revenue Bureau iuto a separate de partment, with the Commissioner at its head; but although this measure was regarded with considerable favor, it was not adopted. A Washington despatch announces that an other movement in a similar direction is about to be made by a Senator vho proposes to establish a "Department of Revenue," which is to consist of the present Customs and In ternal Revenue Bureaus, and to be placed under the charge of a new Cabinet officer. This division would give ample employment to the heads of both de partments, and at the same time afford them opportunities to supervise all important busi ness. A head of the Department of Revenue could be appointed with special referenoe to his qualifications for thwarting the schemes of the official and unofficial rogues who now prey upon the Government; while a Seoretary of the Treasury could be chosen with reference to his ability to discharge the numerous duties appertaining to the present depart ment which do not relate to the collection of revenue.
