TEE DISTRICT A TTORNE Y8IIIP, The contest for the District Attorneyship has finally been decided, as will be seen by the report of the proceedings in the Court of Quarter Sessions this morning In another column, and in favor of Furman Sheppard, Esq., who has been declared legally elected by a majority of thirteen votes. This decision of the court will be cordially acquiesced in by ; men of all partios, and Mr. Sheppard and the publio are alike to be congratulated upon the result. During the brief term in which he held the office Mr. Sheppard proved himself to be emphatically the right man in the right place. Of his honesty and learning his most bitter political enemies never had the shadow of a doubt, but he surprised even his best friends by the eminently able manner in which he aided in the impartial administration of justice. From the first he showed a disposition to do his whole duty without fear, favor, or partiality, and he gave the office of District Attorney a dignity that it unfortu nately had long lacked. Mr. Sheppard is well known to be a Democrat and a strong parti san, but no one believes that he will prosti tute his office or use his influence as a public officer for any mere party purposes. No mat ter what his political opinions may be, such a man is better fitted to perform the delicate and responsible duties of the District Attorneyship than one less impressed with the importance of the funotions devolved upon him, and we are confident that in the future as in the past Mr. Sheppard may be relied upon for a con scientious performance of his duty according to the oath he has taken. There is no reason why there should be any connection whatever between the political questions of the day and the office of District Attorney, and it is of vastly more importance to the community that the office should be filled by a lawyer of acknowledged ability and integrity than that the question of its occupancy should be de cided upon merely partisan considerations. TEE INTERNAL REVENUE BU REAU. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has lately put forth the fourth or fifth of his series of statements comparing the collec tions of the present year with various periods of the preceding fiscal year. If these state ments are merely intended for general in formation as to the working of the law, there can certainly be no objection to them; but if, as seems to be generally understood, they are put forth for the purpose of glorifying the administration of the present Commissioner over that of his predecessor, they are simply false and unfair, worthy only of some tricky pettifogger. A simple illustration will show the fallacy of such a comparison of figures for such a purpose. During the fiscal year 1807-8 the tax was collected on only six million gallons of distilled spirits, while during the year 1808-9 the tax was collected on sixty-two mil lions, more than ten times the former amount. Must we therefore conolude that the Commis sioner of 1807-8 was a great knave in league with the distillers against the Government, while the Commissioner of 18G8-9 is entitled to great credit as a capable, honest, and effi cient officer? The difficulty in the way is that the same gentleman was Com missioner during both of these years, that the increase was due to a more effective law, and that the tax of the latter year was actu ally collected with much less labor than the small tax of the former year. The simple truth is that, under the provisions of the law of 18G7-8, it was utterly impossible to collect the tax on distilled spirits. The whole sys tem was an utter failure, and Congress acknowledged it by repealing the law and substituting therefor the act of July 20, 1808. As a matter of history not generally known, it may be observed that this act was approved by President Johnson July 20, 18G8, and filed in the State Department. On the same day, however, he withdrew it, and held it for some days, finally returning it to the State Depart ment on the 23d or 24th of July, with the original approval upon it; and daring this time the joint efforts of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner to ascertain whether or not the bill had been approved were without avail, and the bill was in fact a law, and in force as such, for three or four days, during which time it was kept close concealed in the President's pocket. Immediately on its being known that the bill had been signed, instructions were issued to close every distillery in the country, so that they might be reorganized under the provisions and restrictions of the new law. The preparation of the necessary instruc tions and regulations for this purpose was a work of time, and but a very few distilleries were able to reorganize during the month ef August, but a few more in September, and it was not until October that there was anything like a fair resumption of business. A com . parison of the product or receipts from this soarce of the first six months of this fiscal year 18G9-70, and those of lSts-9, is completely valueless whether intended as a demonstration of the effectiveness of the new law or as a glorification of the present Commissioner. It is in fact a com parison of the results of six full months of the present year with only half of that time for the preoeding year; and the suspicious part of the case is that these comparative statement 4 are put forth without the filightost refcreucj to this state of fact, and therefore have the effect of completely misleading the publio. Take, for instance, the produot of five whis kies. During the first six menths of the year 1868-9 the product was less than three mil lions of gallons, while during the last six months of the same year the product was about fourteen millions of gallons, more than quadruple, showing the increase in the amount done during the last six months over the first half of the year, one full month of which was tinder the old law. It should also be borne in mind that it is a work of time to inaugurate and put in work ing order a new system so radically different as that provided for in the act of July 20, 1808, as compared with that of the preceding law, and to cause it to be properly understood by officers and tax-payers. Mistakes are very likely to be made at first, which are oorreoted as time and experience show the necessity therefor, and it is only by experience that any system can be even tolerably perfected. The position of Commissioner of Internal Revenue is not a bed of roses, bit rather of the thorns without the flowers. No man who has held that position has escaped attack. It is not an office which can be used for personal self-aggrandizement, or as a means of advanc ing one's political interests, and any attempt to do so will prove an entire failure. Every mistake made by him or any of his subordi nates is seized upon as a new point of attack. If he refuses to investigate, examine into, or even listen to evidence showing that one of his subordinates is a defaulter, but in defiance thereof puts him in a more responsible posi tion t and it afterwards becomes known that the charge was true, or if he persists in insisting upon some transparent book swindle, he had better retire from office as soon as possi ble. Certain it is that success in personal political aims does not lie in that direction. Even if he is solely actuated by a desire to faithfully and honestly discharge the duties of his office, the effect of such mistakes can only be counteracted by the most prompt correction. Certainly, a dozen comparative statements, in which the results of six or eight full months are undertaken to be set up against one-half or five-eighths of that time, is a veil altogether too transparent to cover so open a blunder, even if it be called by no worse name. Such material is too poor even for a New York railroad president. It might do for a mock-auction room, but is hardly the standard for the Senate of the United States. THE RIO UTS OF PENSIONERS. The pensioners are a class that have manifest claims upon the consideration of the Govern ment, and it needs no argument to show that, in common justice, they ought to receive all that they are entitled to under the laws, with out an abatement whatever, and without being obliged to bear any of the expenses attending upon the machinery of the Pension Bureau. These pensions are granted for personal services of a peculiar kind: they are small in amount, and those who receive them are for the most part poor and often ignorant per sons, who are but little able to look out for their own interests er to protect themselves from imposition. Under the present system of paying pensions the agents are not only allowed certain fees which are deducted from the amounts paid to the pensioners, but op portunities are offered for innumerable frauds both upon the pensioners and the Government, and the whole arrangement has fallen into suoti discredit that it is high time a reform was effected, if only for the sake of a general purification by the abandonment of a series ef offices that afferd too many temp tations to those who are imbued by the idea that the treasury is a legitimate object of plunder, and that it is no crime to pocket the publio money. The idea has become general both in and out of Congress that the present system of pension agencies is emmbersome and unsatisfactory both to the Government and the pensioners, but the agents are for the most part men of political influence, and the consequence is that, although a few members ef Congress have pressed for a reform, the majority have shown very little interest in the matter. And it is greatly to be feared that the session will be allowed to pass away without any definite action being taken. It is true that a number of bills have been in troduced, some of which present excellent features, and if the friends of reform will urge the necessity for immediate action they may perhaps stir up the lukewarm and un willing members to the performance of their obvious duties. The necessity for a reform is plainly shown by the case of Colonel W. T. Forbes, one of the pension agents located in this city, to which we have already alluded on several occasions. Colonel Forbes admits that the pensioners were robbed in his office, but lays the blame upon his clerk. The elerk, on the other hand, asserts positively that he acted under Colonel Forbes' instruction. Which ever of the two may be guilty, this case is a practical demonstration of the evils attending the present system, and it ought to have its influence in bringing about an improvement in the whole method of paying the pensions. In organizing any system for the payment of the pensions there has to be considered the rights of the pensioners themselves, who are entitled to receive without abatement every cent promised them; and the necessity for the Government to protect itself from possible frauds on the part either of the pen sioners or the agents, and to. reduce the ex penses attending the payment of pensions to the lowest possible amount. Of all the mea sures now before Congress for the accom plishment of these objects the bill presented by Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, appears to be the best adapted for effecting the desired end. Judge Lawrence has taken great in terest in this subject, and he has prepared a plan which will do away with all the present pension agents and transfer their functions in part to the collectors and assessors of internal revenue, postmasters, and officers of the iititional Lauks, who are to be charged with tiifc uuty of preparing, without coat to the pensioners, all the vouchers, powers of attor ney, and other neoessary papers. This will provide a much greater number of agenoies than at present, and will consequently offer greater facilities to the pensioners, many of whom are infirm and aged, to get their money without unnecessary trouble. Such an ar rangement as this ought to work better for all parties than the present cumbersome sys tem, that seems designed not for the con venience of the pensioners or for the protec tion of the Government interests, but for the purpose of providing a number of fat offices for needy politicians; and we hope sin cerely that Judge Lawrence's bill will receive the candid consideration of Congress. Judge Lawrence proposes to pay the pen sions every three months instead of semi annually. This improvement ought certainly to be adopted, as owing to the poverty of many of the pensioners they do not really get the full value of their money when they receive it all in a lump, independently of the fact that they are frequently compelled to submit to the extortions of money-lenders who advance sums upon their claims at enormous rates of interest. Indeed, it would be desirable that the pensions should be paid much more frequently than this, and onoe a month at least is what ought to be aimed at, provided it can be done without too great an additional expense. The pensioners are a poor and politically nninfluential class, and consequently they excite but little interest comparatively. On this account, however, they are the more worthy of regard, and Congress will neglect its duty if it overlooks their claims or permits the present abuses of the pension agenoies to continue without at least an effort at reform. At the meeting of the contributors of the Pennsylvania Hospital the question of the women students was disposed of in a very proper manner by the adoption of a resolu tion instructing the Managers to make such arrangements, after consulting with the medi cal staff, as may be necessary for the accom modation of the students of the female medi cal colleges. The female students of medi cine are certainly entitled to the benefit of the hospital facilities, but their attendance on all occasions at clinics, in company with the male students, is perhaps open to' objec tions. The Managers of the Hospital are gentlemen of discretion and good judgment, and they will doubtless be able to perfect an arrangement that will be entirely satisfac tory to everybody but a few irreconcilables of both parties. This is what Leavenworth claims the cham pion belt for: "We can turn out a larger num ber of people to a smaller fire, and they'll leave a better dinner and run fatter, and surround the conflagration quicker, stay there longer and co home wetter, than any other town in Ame rica; DIVIDENDS, ETO. t- TOE COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA.
