As fak as the investigation by Gover
ror Pattison and Attorney General Cas
sidy into the management of the Sol
diers' Orphans' Schools has gone, a
most disgracefu' and shameless condi
tion of affairs has been developed. Af
ter spending three or four days at the
M.iunt Joy school they repaired to the
Ches'er Springs school, in the adjoining
county, of which James L. Paul, who
up to the firt of l ist January filled the
position of chief clerk in the Depart
ment of Orphans' Schools at Harrisburj?,
is one of the owners or contractors and
also the manager in charge. In some
. ..
resrects this school snowed a slight im-
provemenc on inat at Blount joy scarc-;
ly worthy of notice, however, and while
the Governor and Mr. Cassidy were iu
w
the act of leaving for Ilarrisburg they
of '
were grossly tnsuTted In the presence
Paul by some of the larger boys, a per
formance for which they had evidently
been trained by Paul himself or some
one else who exercises supervision over
them. The school at Whitehall, in
Cumberland county, was next visited,
where much greater care and attention
seem to be given to the children than at
the other two above named. With this
school Wt ight and Paul haye no connec
tion, but Moore, the manager, stub
bornly refused to exhibit his books or to
tell how much money he made in a year
out of his management of the institu
tion. From there the Governor and
Attorney Gener.il went to the McAllis
tervi:ie school, in Juniata connty. one
of ex-State Senator Wright's posses-
sions. The condition of this school was j
little, if any, better than that at Mount j
Joy or Cheater Springs, and those in
charge of it absolutely refused to be ex-
amined under oath touching its manage-
ment. On Monday last the Governor j
and Mr. Cassidy arrived at Mercer, the j
borne of George W. Wright and also of ;
Gordon, one of his partners in farming
four of the schools, wh'ch inc'ufles the J
one at Mercer, and rem lined there until '
TuesiUy evening. Tt.e condition of
this school is even wor?e than that of
those in the eastern part of the S'ate.
Wright was not at home and was not
therefore present at the examination.
were examined by the Governor and
Mr. Cassidy and told a sickening ta'e
abou; personal a!ue. want of clothing
and poor, inadequate food. The school
at Dayton, Armstrong county, was vis
ited on Wednesday, l"t with what re
sult we have not yet hearo. Out of this
investigation will come at the proper
time anl in the proper way, unless he
resigns. Dr. Iligbee's removal as Super
intendent of the Orphans' Schools, and
in the meantime Wright and his fellow
conspirators in prostituting a munificent
charity to base speculative purposes,
will be made amenab'e to all the provi
sions of law tha will rech them. The
Governor and his Attorney General are
in terrihle earnest in re?ard to this mat
tei and neither nf them was ever known
to shirk any official responsibility.
Aimoron what is known as Blair's
Educational bill, so called because its
author is Mr. Blair, of New Hampshire,
in that body on Friday last after a spir
ited debate, derided to shelve the bill
until the lfi'h of April, which is regard
ed as equivalent to its defeat. The bill
passed the Senate by a vote of 3G yeas
to 11 nays, fifteen Democrats voting for
it, of whom thirteen are from the old
slave-holding States. The bill provides
for the appropriation of f 77,000.000 to
be paid by the Government to the differ
ent S'a'es in the Union for the support
of the common schools and for the es
. .... . .
i inuiiMiment or oeirer meinoos or in- I
I strncHnn. The monev is to he distribn- !
ted according to the illiteracy of the!
various States, and the larger bulu of it j
will therefore go to the South. The i
money ia to be paid out durinar a period
of eight years, tae first, year $7,000,000 ;
the second year $10,000,000, and so on,
vaiyingeach year in amount until the
eiahth year, for which the amount is
$3,000,000. The 8tates in order to re
ceive this money must disburse for the
same purpose as much as is eiven to
them by thpGovernment, and the States
that fail to do so will not eet any of the
' morpy- The Federal Government has
not the shadow of authority to appro- j
priate money for the schools of a State,
and in tbe Senate the friends of the bili
were driven to defend it on the "general
welfare" clanse in the Constitution,
which is simply a construction of that
instrument tinder which Congress would
be omnipotent and could do anything it
wanted. It is a most vicious project,
an encrca-brr.ent on the richf3 of the
: S'ates and the assertion of a doctrine
j which the Democratic party was found-
ed to res'st. viz, that the general fiov
i ernment can interfere in matters not
: definitely embraced within the powers
j granted to Congress in tte Constitution.
, If the bill should be permitted to pass
the Ilonse, the Democratic majority in
that tody ought to go out of business
as Democrats.

TI1E UIUJTO ARMY'S REPORT."
Result of the Investigations or the Sel
diers' Orphans' Schools.
Th9 committee of the Grand Army of
the Republic appointed by General Go
bin to look into the alleged mismanage
ment of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools
have forwarded to him their preliminary
report. Their examinations, with the
rfr,.iji irnrWinor nf the Soldiers' Or
phans' Department at Ilarrisburg, were j
advtrt i to in Saturday's issue of the ;
Post. The following is the min pan 01
the report : i
An official communication received by
vour committee was from the cniei
(clerk of the Soldiers' Orphans' Depart-
mpnt at narrisburg, who, under date of
jjarch 22nd stated: "The act wnicn
iM hA fnnn'rt nn naae 174 of the Pam- !
phlet Laws fixes the price to be paid for
the education and maintenance 01 .uv
children. Thertia no written contract or
aqretmrnt other than this." (The
italics are ours.)
Our next meeting was held to day in
the offiee of of the Superintendent of
Soldiers' Orphans' Schools. Dr. E. E.
Higbee and hi? clerk were present and
submitted for our consideration the
blanks in use, and also the reports of
the inspectors of the department. On
inquiry we found that the statement
that there were no written contracts
or agreements was correct, and there
was no evidence to show that such con
tracts bad ever been made. The act of
1367, undei which the schools were first
established in their present form, is so
plain and positive on this point that we
are unable to comprehend how those
charged with its execution have for
nineteen Years ienored this, one of its
most essential provisions.
Your committee further found that
tie bond rpnnired to oe filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth by the
Superintendent, under tne act or
consolidating the Department of Sol
diers' Orphans with the Department of
i-'nri if nsmiMinn. in iue sum ui
qqo with three sufficient surities to be
approved by the Auditor Ganeral, had
Dot been filed, but that in its stead one
In that amount with two sureties had
been approved by the Governor and filed
with the Seeretarv of the Common-
wealth
s:ipci 1 inqury was mane by us for tne
names of the trustees, proprietors and
principals of the institutions now em
ployed as Soldiers' Orphans' Schools,
for the purpose of ascertaining those re
spon?ible for the Cire and custody of
the children. Here we were again un
able to secure the desired information,
and only by a visit to the Auditor Gen
eral's department were we able to find
out who diew the moneys paid by the
State for the support of the schools.
The bills certified by the Superintend
ent were made in the name of the school,
verified by the affidavit of some one uusnin, wuu which i.m run i.m
whose official status in connection with ; cially nothinir to do. The sole question
the school is generally not stated, but for the Senate concerns the fitness and
who swears that the charges made are I qualifications of the person nominated
i io.rnrd-.m-e with the contract be-! for its advice. Upon the Gtness of tbe
tweeo the Stale aud Drcrrietois of the
school.
Th Auditor General, being asked
what knowledge be possessed of the par
ties entitled to receive moreys due for
the support of the soldiers" orphans,
stated that the contracts between the
S'afe and the proprietors of the schools
were on j;.- in the Department of Sol
diers Orphans, ard that t tie Superin
ter.dr-nl ci
vouchers.
andYhe affilt Attached j
te.-tilifd that ihey were in accord
ance with the terms of such contract.
A detailed examination of the vouch
ers and warrants submitted developed
the fact that Jama L. Paul, formerly
Chief Clerk of the Department of Sol
diers' Orphans' Schools, and now one ef
the owners of the Chester Sprines school,
bad indorsed a warrant for $6. 352. 77,
due on August 31, 1885, as 'Manaeer of
tbe Chester Springs Soldiers' Orphans'
School," he being at that time Chief
Clerk as above staled. More startling
and r( quiring no comment from us
is the fact that the warrant for the
quarter ending May 31, 1885. was for
?5 54 25. and the one for the quarter
i endine February 18, 1385, ws $ 5 504
I 54. both being endorsed by M. S. Mc-
Cnl'ougb.
The warrant, for the quarter ending
February 28, 1885, still pending in the
Auditor General's department, is for
$11,232.21. The number of scholars at
this school on February 28, 1685, when
M. S. McCullough was proprietor, was
153. On the same date this year, when
J. 1. Paul bad resigned his Chief Clerk
ship early In the year and publicly as
sumed the management of the school, it
was 312.
A similar condition of affairs, though
not to the same extent, exists in the
other schools, reported to b the prop
erty of the parties owning the Chester
Springs School.
Our inquiries, so far, satisfy us that
the enforcement of the laws establishing
and maintaining the Soldiers' Orphans'
Schools baa been neglected by those
charged with their maintenance, and it
is not surprising that, under these cir
cumstances, those who managed the
schools should do so with an eye only to
the profits to be derived therefrom, and
not with a de9ire to properly caro for,
maintain and educate, at the expanse
of the Sate, the children of our dead or
disabled comrades.
The remedy for the present deplora-
hie and disgraceful condition of affairs.
as developed by the investigation of the
Governor and Attorney General, is en
tirely within the control of the Superin
tendent of tbe Sold iers' Orphans' schools
and the Governor of tbe Commonwealth,
who may at any time annul any or all
the contracts if any of the conditions of
such contracts have not been fulfilled by
any contractor. We feel assured that
such annulment of contract, agreement
or arrangement of any kind existing or
supposed to exist between the State and
the proprietors of these schools will
have the hearty approval of all good
citizens.
Such action would not be a novelty
in the administration of Soldiers' Or
phans' Schools. Superintendent Higbee
having heretofore exercised this power
in connection with one of the schools.
Good, and good onlv can result from a
similar exercise of power in the present
juncture of afFtirs, removing those who
have failed to comply with the laws of
the State and violated the laws of com
mon humanity, and placing the chil
dren under the care of men and women
who will faithfully execute the inten
tion of a great Sate in caring for those
whom a generous Commonwealth has
adnnted as its wards.
We suggest that the Auditor General
decline to approve any warrants for the
payment of bills in connection with
these schools until proper contracts
have been executed nd the laws other
wise fnlly complied with, and in this
suggestion it is oar intention to include
the regulations governing the amount
and quality of the clothing issued ; the
quantity, quality and preparation of the
food for the children ; the extent f and
the furnishing of the lavatory, the
sleeping and other accommodations ;
the number and qualifications of teach
ers and instrnctors employed ; and for
the enforcement of all this, intelligent

SPEECH OF SENATOR "EDMUNDS.
In bis long argument of yesterday
Senator Edmunds added nothing; to
what is coutained in his report cencern
ing the right of the Senate to demand
for its secret executive sessions papers
relating to removals from office. While
disclaiming any desire or purpose to in
terfere with the power of the President
to make removals. Senator hamnnaa
and bis political associates demand the J
papers containing the reasons for the I
removal of a District Attorney of the i
united States in Aiaoama. iu ru-u,.
where lies tne amrence oeiweeu miiu-
lng tne ngnt to aemitnu tin rrnmrvci u.i
making a removal and the claim for the
papers in regard to such removal ?
The obiect of Senator Edmunds is
best seen from his own recital of the
facts on which his argument is based
He related mar. -Mr. uubkiii wo
pointed Attorney for Alabama by the ;
President, with the consent oc me fili
ate, and that while holding his commis
sion and "faithfully perfoiming his du
ty" Duskin was suspended on the 17lh
of July, 1P83, by the President, and on
the same day John D. Bennett was ap
pointed in his place. He then read the
resolution of the Senate asking for cop
ies of all papers filed in the Department
of Just ice since the 1st of January, 1885,
relating to the conduct and manage- j
ment of the office of District Attoruey
of the United States for the Southern
District of Alabama.
In reply, Attorney General Garland
transmitted all the papers relating to
appointment of Bennett, and said he
was instructed not to send papers and
documents In relation to the removal of
Duskin. With this Senator Edmunds
and those who act with him iu the Sen
ate are not satisfied. These Senators
say that this is not a sufficient answer ;
that it is, in fact "reprehensible."
The demand the papers covering the
case of Duskin on the claim of a light
to share with the Executive the power
of removal from office. If such were
not their claim their demaud for papers
relating to a removal from office is friv
olous. They want to know from these
papers the reasons of the President for
removing an officer while "faithfully
prform:ng his duties," and if the rea
sons contained in the papers are not sat
isfactory they will reject the person
nominated to succeed him. What is
this but an interference with the power
of the Executive over removal from of
fice ? And what are the papers sought
for except on this claim of a right of in
terference by the Senate ?
TLe Constitution gives the President
power to make appointments with the
advice and consent of the Senate. In
this case the appointment was that of
John D. Bennett. But Senator Ed
munds and bis political associates insist
on going back of this appointment to
inquire into the cause of the removal of
person suspended
the President has
acted en his own Constitutional author
ity and resionsibility. But Senator
Edmunds demands the cause of suspend
ing in such papers as may be furnisned
by the department, and thus the ques
tisn of the right of the Senate to share
in the power of removal again recurs.
In 1809 Congress, on the recommenda-
tion of President Grant, repealed that
Which required I he P.esident to trans- j
mit to tbe .senate tne reasons ror sus- 1
pensions. P.ut, in spite of the repeal of
that provision of more than doubtful
Constitutionality, Senator Edmunds
and the Senators who follow him
demand these reasons under cover of a
call fur papers and documents. This is
the old assumption of the power of the
Senate to participate in the Executive
function of removals from office, and in
the least tenable shape in which the
claim was ever presented. Philadelphia
