A BAREFACED JOB. Prom the A. Y. WorlL The lollowii.g paragraph i ppeors in the re port of the roceodiuga ot tue Senate last Mondaj: KEVIV1NO AMKAICAN COMMKKCB. Mr. Conkling (Rep., N. Y.) Introduced a bill to ni l in the cuiifdiucion of twenty or more Urst-uiasi lion sttHiiitlilpp, together with ship yards, nii chlue shop, lolling mills, wnnrves, l nk, etc , and to secure to tho Government tue use of tlio same for postal, naval, and other purpo:i !. It was referred to the Committee on Commerce. The bill proposes to Incorporate W. II. Web'). Clarence II Uatk, John A. Oriswold, John Koauh, Paul N. Sp Ml'ord, Henry S.eers, and oiliets, under the name of the American Mail and Ocean Trans portation Compaiy, tor toe purpose above lndloa-ed ; and provides that the (lovernmcnt of the United States Bhall pay the Interest ou the first mor.g.ige bonds of the company to the amount of t20,ooo,iMO In gold for thirty years, not becoming respanslole, he wever, for the payment of the principal. Ia re turn the company steamship are to carry the United Siatcs uialis and Government agents free of charge. Decidedly it ia a misnomer to call this a bill "to revive American commerce." It ought to be called a bill to revive the busi ness of Messrs. Webb, Clark, Griswold, and their associates. There is little prospect that so barefaced a scheme of undeserving cha rity will succeed; but it is nevertheless a mat ter deeply to be regretted that a Senator from the State which at the last election so boldly protested against class legislation should be the willing mouthpiece of the managers of this job. Does any man suppose that such a bill, should it become a law, would benefit in the slightest degree those ship-owners who are anxious to buy vessels wherever they can be bought most cheaply ? Or that it would aid the ship-builders of our own country who are not in the Webb-Griswold ring ? This whole ship-building and ship-buying question is an exceedingly simple one. It had been asserted by Mr. ltoach himself, and ably set forth in a pamphlet issued by the proprietors of the Atlantic- Works at Boston, that if plate-iron, pig-iron, rigging, eti in short, all the materials which go to the build ing of our iron vessels were free of duty, our ship-builders could compete with their foreign rivals, notwithstanding the rate of wages in this country. higher As it is, these materials are so costly, be cause of the enormous duties laid upon them, that American competition with foreign builders Is impossible, and will continue to be so while the present tariff is in force. When wo remember that there is also a law against buying and registering a foreian built ship, we perceive that radical legisla tion has placed our merchants in the pleasant position of being unable to build or buy vessels. Could there be any remedy for this state of things more simple than the abolition of the duty on ship-building materials and the repeal of the law forbidding the registry of foreign built vessels? If this were done, our mer chants would buy their ships of American builders, provided the latter nhoold prove able to hold their own against foreign compe tition. If not, foreign ships would be bought and placed tinder the American flag, and American commerce would nourish, even if American ship-building proved unprofitable. The Conkling scheme, on the other hand, proposes simply to take a million dollars annually from the people and give it to Messrs. Webb, Griswold, and their associates, to enable them to build twenty ships for their own personal benefit, while all other ship-owners are left precisely where they now are. Why this bill for the benefit of these half dozen favored men should be falsely styiea a uiu to aid American commerce is a question which the merchants of New York who are not associated in business with the beneficiaries named would like to have Mr. Conkling answer. NO MOKE DETECTIVES IN THE INTER NAL REVENUE DEPAUTMEF . From the T. Swi. It is reported from Washington that Gene ral rieasonton, the new Commissioner of In ternal Revenue, appeared before the Commit tee of Ways and Means on Wednesday, and recommended "an increase in the number of supervisors and inspectors." That is to say, he wants more detective officers and spies at tached to his establishment. In 18GD General Rieasonton succeeded Joshua F. Bailey as Collector of the Fourth district in this city. When he took this office his predecessor, Bailey, was a defaulter there to the amount of about eighty thousand dol lars. General Pleasonton remained for a whole year in charge of the Fourth district, and in all that time he never discovered that there was any defalcation there, or that there was anything out of the way in Bailey's ac counts. In consideration of this proof of oftbial genius and energy, he was transferred to the scene of Bailey's greater exploits, the Thirty second district, with double the salary of any former collector, and less work; and now, as a further and more brilliant testimonial to his capacity, and in accordance with the princi- Eles of the present administration, he has een put at the head of the department. No wonder he thinks there should be more in spectors and detectives. If he had had a few more of them to help him in the Fourth dis trict, he might posbibly have found out about Bailey and his robberies a little bafore the year was out, so that he need not have waited for Bailey 'b flight to reve.d the villainy to his knowledge. Another reason why the new Commissioner wishes for more detectivs is that he will have the appointment of them. A thousand vacant places to fill would be a fine thing for the military ring. It is true that there is no need of them, Rnd that if more men were neces nary in the internal revenue service, the pre sent assistant assessors could be used for the purpose, since they have very little to do, and are already paid by the Government. But these ollicers are not dependent on the Commibsioner; and it' General Pleasauton could get thtir number reduced, and a lot of inspectors substituted for them, his power would experience an agreeable augmenta tion. On the whole, we presume that Congress "will not be in a hurry to comply with the Commissioner's application for au increased number of detectives. "CODLIN'8 YOUR FRIEND -NOT KIIOliT." from the N. 7. Times. The released Fenian prisoners who Thursday night reached our city are in imminent danger of being torn to pieces. Two power, ful panies are lighting to obtain possession of their bodies, and the battle is waged so furiously that nobody can tell whether "the refugee" will come out of it dead or alive. In the first place, Tammany claimed them a? its own, and for a time none seemed inclined to disnute its pretensions. The recorrniied leaders of the Fenian organization identified themselves with Tammany, and applauded he munificence which awarded thjusands stolen from tie taxpayers to give eclnt to the coming demonstration. The fitness of the thing admitted of no dispute. It was emi nently proper that a pirtifan combination, deriving its main strength from the Irish vote, should pander to that vote by f nrntsh ing money for a demonstration f this kind. Had Mr. " Tweed offered his Fifth avonue maiisiou for their nucnnuti'idatlm, or Mr. Hall his green coat for Rurko, and horeos for tho rest, there would have been no occasion fcr MirpiiKe. Rut Republican managers discovered that a mngniticiiit oppurtuniiy was before them. The Iiihh vote loomed up as something which, by a stroke of strntogy, they might grasp. They thought they had but to secure tho Cuba's passengers to obtain a mastory over the entire population of the city. Nevor be fore had such a chance occurred. Taimumy's power might be challenged in its own house hold. The gods whom Tweed has worshipped and by whose favor he reigns, might be in duced to smile upon Murphy. And then all would be serene. The Irish vote would be come part of the Custom House goods and chattels, and at the next election New York would roll up eighty thousand majority. There was genius in the conception. Luckily, too, the means were at baud for carrying it into execution. The immediate result is the fierce conflict now in progress for the smiles of the fortunate exiles. We hope they will survive the ordeal. It would be shocking if a group of poor fellows, who have just escaped from foreign dungeons, should be killed with kindness in this Irish ity of Now Yoik. In the nature of things, Tammany might be expected to crawl in tte gutters for the furtherance of its ends. If our glorious Cor poration, rich in spoils, had chartered a tug boat, filled its hold with champagne aud boned turkeys 'at the tox-payers' expense, and accompanied the Tammany boat as vouchers for its respectability, there would have been no wonder expressed. But when a revenue cutler, with a United States flag, and United States officers, was pressed into the service in behalf of the ingenious scheme for capturing the Irish vote and making it Republican, men rubbed their eyes to make sure that there was no mistake. There was no mistake about it. A vessel representing Federal authority undertook to run a race with Tammany's boat. United States ollicials condescended to play second fiddle to Tweed, and to drag the national flag through dirty water in a hopelesa contest with the JLummany crew. Imagino the blarney, the paltry trickery, the unmanly stooping to conquer, which marked the whole affair, Imagine the button-holing, the winking and whinnering, the vile flattery and the viler falsehood, which are going on on both sides And then let any candid man say whether the display is or is not one of which Americans have cause to be proud. What ia the occasion of all this noise? W ho are these liberated prisoners, that party leaders must go crazy in the effort to seoure them? In what do they differ from the hua. dreds of emigrants who land at Castle Gar den every week ? The Kossuth reception, as seen now, was extravagant enough, but, at least, Kossuth had some claims to public consideration. Thore was some reason in tho welcome extended to men like Meagher aud Mitchell, for they were representative men, educated, able, and personally influential Even the reception of Stephens was not unin telligible, for Fenianism was the creation of his mind. But, with one or two exceptions, the men whom Mr. Gladstone has now sent over are neither better nor worse than thousands who were here before them. We have exiled patriots from Roland, Hungary, Germany, and elsewhere, but who ever heard of Tweed and custom-house employes running a race to catch them ? They came unnoticed, un- honored, and earn their bread quietly. Does tne mere fact that U Donovan Kossa and his companions have been convicts in British prisons make them heroes and martyrs? If they deserve to be canonized! for l a vino- been the victims of British law iu the Fenian cause, what recompense is in store for the heroio O'Neill, or the Fenians captured in Canada t Of course Mr. Gladstone will now realize the folly of his temporizing policy. It was right that the Fenian prisoners should be re leased, but their release, to convey a moral, snoum nave ueen unconditional, uy com pelling them to come to the United States as a condition of liberty, Mr. Gladstone ren dered the act inoperative in Ireland, while he converted the ex-conviots into martyrs and exiles. His blundering in this case is akin to his whole Irish policy, lhat has been a sue cession of blunders, the general effeot of which is seen in the present condition of Ire land, the unabated disaffection of its people, and the cowardly fear which impelled him to drive across the sea a handful of ordinary Irishmen, utterly destitute of influence in their native land. HISTORY FOR SOUTHERN CHILDREN. Prom, the A'. Y. TribuM. Two Southern teachers, one the principal of a high school at Alexandria, Va., the other occupying a similar position in Louis ville, have prepared a volume of COO pages which they pronounce to be "the first school Listory of the United States ever published by Southerners." From a th'rd and revised edition of this work, printed by a firm in Baltimore, we purpose selecting a few speci mens, to show how the men upon whom the serious duty of educating Southern youth has devolved are doing their part to prevent the healing of the wounds of war, and keep the two sections of the country hostile for all time to come. The authors set forth in their preface that "in all the school histories hitherto published events have been pre sented from a Northern standpoint, and con sequently the South has been sometimes ne glected and more frequently misrepresented." To coirect this long-standing grievance, about 100 pages are devoted to the "sec tional war" of 18t;i -(;.-, and an attempt is made "to hhovr upon whom its blood-guiltiness rests." Al ter describing the wickedness of the Abo lifionists, the atrocities of which they were guilty in Kansas, the attempt of "John Brown, a Northers fanatio, born in New lork, and a noted Kansas assassin, to brin on a servile war, the authors procoed to the election of "a sectional candidate" for the Presidency in 1HJ0. The ftouthern people, "who had for years been prevented froji en jojirjg tueir constitutional rights in the Noi tb, " j ntttly regarded thi as 'the commence ment of hostilities." It was "alleged that the property, lives, and liberty of the citi zens were threatened by the aggressive anpect of the incoming administration." "South Carolina was tho first to aot," and the Confederates, "having tried peaceful measures to no purpose." attacked and cup tuied Fort Sumter. Thii forcible appro priation of Federal properly "gave the North for the first time a correct idea of tie real condition of things." Mr. Lin coln reached Washington in a Scotch cap atid cloak, "and was invested in office while ninouBdcd by an armed guard. Ihere seems to have been no real desire at the North, according to this work, to proserve the Union; but "the moderates and peace makers were everywhere beaten and put down." "If any were rash enough to attempt to stem the tide of madness, they were either knocked down and beaten or grossly insulted. lrginia left the Union because the lrsi dent Lad forced a sword into her haula." AnioDG the Northern peoulo "the noblest and meanest pasnionsof the human heart were Appealed to. Influential journals daolared that the Southerners were degenerate, that the men were cowards nud bnllies, and the women beautiful aud loaded with jewels. 'Booty and Beauty' wa one of the watch words of the hour." "Not a few hmlome youths joined the army for the privilege of wearing tlie buttons. "Uoionei lMiswortu, a famous 'rough' and circus-rider of Chicago, commanded a Zouave regiment that invaded irgima. Lvtn if thoso monstrous statements were all trne, it would be hard to discover a good reason for teaching them to children. I he dearest wish of patriotio Americans now ought to be that the passions of those frtur j ears should be forgotten, and that the next generation at least should grow up united. lhe work in which the authors of this Southern School History are engaged is nothing less than to plant the seeds of per petual dissension and a new war. It is a devilish work, and wo hope all sensible Southerners will mark it with thoir indignant reprobation. THE UNCLAIMED MONEYS IN THE SAVINGS BANKS. Prom the IT. 1. Herald. Another effort is to be made in the Legis lature to make the savings banks disgorge the Heavy sums they hold under the title ot un claimed moneys a sort of aggregation of what the sporting fraternity call "sleepers," which the banks have managed to appropriate iu the course of their long aud vigilant watch ing the game, lhe ostensible object of the legislator who renews this measure is to put these moneys into the hands of the State. It world be far better to have them taken in trust only, for the benefit of such owners or heirs as may at some future time put in an appearance, or else, expend them on public chanties. It is not kuowu exactly what use they are to be put to after the State gets them. These unclaimed monoys form no small sum, for they have been gathering for ten and twenty years in tho dusty recesses of our savings banks. It is a sum well worthy of a legislator s game, and consequently the scent of a "job will cling round the bill. It may be a striker one of those measures that contemplate fair and wholesome reforms, but which cannot get further towards enactment than an investigation, in which the aggrieved individual shows up ins books and greases committeemen's hands. It is most probably anotner liyer intended to bring down the sav ings banks and make them disgorge to their greedy legislators a portion of their dead and gone depositors savings in order that they may keep the rest to themselves. THE SCANDAL AMONG THE METHO DISTS. From the V. 1'. A'at'on. An investigation with open doors into the alleged frauds in the Methodist Book Concern has at last been commenced and is now pena ing. W hen it is remembered that the first public mention of these frauds was miiHa in September, 18(!t), and that ever since that time not only the reputation of the Methodist body but of religion has been suffering seriously from the stories about them, it must be admitted that the delay in examining them has been a most remarkable phenomenon, The main fact of the oase is that Dr. Lana- ban, the assistant agent or superintendent in charge of the Concern, declared, a year and a half ago, that he had discovered serious waste and even dishonesty in its management. As soon as he made this charge, there ought to have been an immediate and thorough inves ligation, and the persons touohed by it ought, as honorable men and good Christians, to have clamored for the investigation und refused all postponement. So far from this, how. ever, nearly everybody connected with the concern seems to have had his mind occupied not with the question whether there had really been fraud and mismanagement, but whether Dr. Lanahan could not be induced to stop the scandal caused by his mention of it and prevent the decline in the business of the Concern. On Dr. Lanahan's refusing to .retract his charges, he was relegated to the character of a culprit, aud, comically enough, it is he and not the persons whom be ao cused who is now on his trial. In fact, the "credit" about which many of the brethren seem to have been most concerned all along is not the credit of the Church as a spiritual institution, but the credit of the Churoh as a moneyed corporation, with bills to meet, bonds to put on the market, and goods to sell, We are not going to enter into a history of the affair, or make more than a passing reference to the two or three sham or at least abortive investigations which have been at tempted during the past year, and every one of which has resulted in confirming the im pression that whether or not there had been fraud in the management of the Book Con cern, there had been something wrong in it that called for examination, and that even if Dr. Lanahan was a libeller there was some foundation or oolor for his libels which needed clearing up. We Bhall express no opinion either as to the truth or falsehood of Lis statements. This is now at last under investigation, and, what h more important than all, publio investigation; and though we hold the foim of inquiry to be radically wrong and to reveal a most extraor dinary misapprehension on the part of many leading men in the Methodist denomination as to the exact relations of the Church to the community at large, it will, nevertheless, in all probability bring out the truth, which is the main point. When an officer of an insti tution managing what may fairly be called trust funds, brings a charge of malfeasance t gDinst any of Lis associates, the prooeeding which usage aiid common fifnse prescribe is to put the person whom he aodilsed iu stantly on bis defense, and to call on the ac cuser for Lis proofs. This is the course pur sued in courts of law and in all inquiries of a judicial nature conducted by laymen. The charge of libel or of perjury against the pro secutor follow 8 the trial of the accused but never precedes it. If a man, having had his watch stolen, goes to swear a complaint against somebody whom on gool ground he suspects of stealing it, the magistrate does not at once make the prosecutor give bail to appear and stand his trial ou a charge of slander and defamation, and declare thht the truth will come out in that way as well as in any othor. If he did, there would be verv few charges brought, and mist thieves would escape. Or, to use a closer illustration if the cashier of a bank was to inform the president that he had disoovere 1 that one of the tellers was a doiauitcr. tue first act of tho president would certainly bo to secure the teller and investigate his ac counts, and not to try the cashier for lying. If the president of a bank receives charges of fraud against one of his o.Tnors as souie members of the Methodist body htve received the charges of fraud in the Book Conoern, end enquired into their truth only indi rectly, through n libel suit against tho accuser, people would otrtainly be very shy of keeping deposits at his bnk or owning stock in it. lhe timo to try a false witness is after his aocusations have boen exumiued and have broken down. To treat Lim from the outset as a culprit it to favor a crime by making the exposure of it trouble some and vexatious, if not dangerous, blan der and 'scandal' are bad things, but they are not so bad as theft or embezzlement, and it iu recognized in all systems of jurisprudence with which we possess any acquaintance that to make accusation prima facie an offenso would enable nil other classes of offenders to thrive. If all this be true of the ma chinery for the protection of purely mundane Interests, how much more true is it of ma chinery for tho protection of interests that are eternal. We doubt, indeed, if we have ever met with a more striking illustration of the dan gers which the Churoh runs whenever it be comes a great proprietor than is to be found in Judge Fancher's speech at the oponing of Dr.Lanahan s trial. After mentioning the pub lication of Dr. Lanahan's charge in the news papers in September, 18(if, he proceeds to speak of their consequences, lo anybody who duly considers what the Methodist denomination and all other denominations profess to be and undertake to do, the consequences of most gravity seem obvious enough; indeed, the eravest consequences are so grave that all others beside them seem nttorly insignificant and trivial. Of course, in the case of an in stitution which has for its object the spread of moral and religious truth, and which is ostensibly managed for the glory of God end not for worldly profits, the most lament able result, and, indeed, it would seem the otlyresult worthlmentioningof acharge of pe cuniary dishonesty against its conductors, is the shock to the religious convictions of that large body of persons in all churches aud com munities in whose eyes tne claims ot religion to confidence and respect are based on the character of its leading teachers and profes sois. That a youth who has been brought up on the mental and morul pabulum supplied by the Book Concern should be suddenly in foimed that the manager,? of the Concern, who get up and distribute all these improving pub lications, are a parcel of knaves who care more for their own pockets than for the salvation of souls, is certainly a serious matter, not so much because he will not buy or read the books of the Concern any more, as because it shakes his faith in everything ho has held sacred the greatest misfortune that can hap pen to a human being. We were, therefore, a good deal surprised we were going to say, entertained at reading Judge Fancher's enumeration of the terrible things which happened after the publication of Dr. Lanahan's charges in the New York Times. As the first, aud we sup pose the worst, he sots down the heavy de preciation of certain bonds issued by the Book Concern to pay for the new building celled the "Publishing House. lhose per sons who had bought some already declared they were swindled, and nobody else could be got to buy any at all. An effort, the Judge says, was then made to do "something to counteract the effect of that atrocious article" that is, the eff ect not on faith and morals, but on the credit of the concern in Wall street. Dr. Lanahan refused, however, to sign a paper that was prepared for this purpose; so Judge Faucher declares with much solemnity, "that the man who would permit such an article to ciroulate without fol lowing it with an explanation was not fit to have chargo of the vast interests of the Meth odiht Book Concern, as if the first and great interest of the Book Concern and of all other 'Concerns' on the globe was not to be hon estly managed. After the appearance of the article, says the judge, not a bond could be issued, though $80,000 worth had previously been 'taken quite freely.' In 1807, the profits of the Concern were $88,002, in 1808, they were S&lUl.OiJO; but when these changes were made, they fell in 180!) to $08,710, and properly fel1, we think; but the judge thinks it wan horrible, and of other loss and damage he makes no mention. - We wish they had fallen to nothing, until the charges were investigated fully and openly; it is a dis grace to the Methodist Church that the profits did cot disappear altogether that anybody bought its books, while its leading men were trying to shirk enquiry as to whether a solemn trust had or had not been grossly abused. Dr. Lanahan, according to Judge Puncher, has written to bishops and others of the clergy such words as these: 'Fraud, fraud, fraud! Infamous and deep has been the history of this conoern for many years.' 'Is a man,' the judge enquires, 'that is ca rubje of writiuK that sentence, capable to stand in the, place of one of the principal agents of the Book Concern ?' May it please the judge, if the frauds exist, the man who wrote that sentence is just the man to stand in that place. Moreover, there is no surer sign of rottenness in any sect, body, or orga nization than the appearance of greater horror over the making of an acousation than over the commission of the offense As soon as we see 'scandal' become the greatest dread of a community, we may be sure that its morals are becoming muddied at their souroe. The elaborate arrangements mado by Jesuit casuists for its prevention at any cost are among the disgraces of Catholio theology, and we should be sorry to see similar pains taken in any Protestant denomination for the polishing of the outside of the platter. 'Bonds' eight rise, and "profits" grow, and 'sfalea' swell, and jet every object for which the Christian Church exists be neglected. There is a point at which a man may beoome too ,'good a businesE-man' for the successful promotion of the Christian religion, and every denomination which for any purpose takes to bnj ing and selling has to see to it that the managers of its affairs do not reach it.
