Joseph Jeukuis Roberts, ex-president
of the I.iberian republic, died at Monro

M'(lure'a Philadelphia Times has now
entered its second year. New daily pa
pers seldom pay during the first three
or four years of their existence, but the
Times became a success—an established
institution—before it was one year old.
This is almost unparalleled in the histo
ry of daily journalism. The Times has
been conducted in a manner to merit its
success.
Still closer. A gentleman has inform
ed Mr. C'ymer's committee that he is
willing to testify that a certain individ
ual made personal application to the
president for a post-tradership. The
president gave hiui very little attention,
whereupon the applicant told him that
lie owned two of the finest Indian po
nies that he ever saw and his intention
was to present them to Mr. Grant's bovs,
that the ponies were out at the trading
post, and were subject to the president's
orders. The man got the poet-trader
ship ami the same day the president sent
a despatch to the trading-post Jto have
the ponies sen? in forthwith. If there is
protection given to witnesses, and the
administration does not shut their
mouths by threats of prosecution, the
day of nasty revelations will only havf
commenced.
isooy the defaulting state treasurer of
of New Jersey was sentenced to confine
ment in the State Prison for three years
and until the costs of prosecution art
paid. He wept bitterly on hearing the
sentence.
Xow pass up the next rascal and give

scamp in the land gets his due.
A Lancaster radical has come to grief.
District Attorney John W. Johnson was
arrested in Lancaster on the 13, and held
for a hearing on a charge of issuing forg
ed and fraudulent naturalization papers
prior to the Gubernatorial election in
IS?:!. Johnson was a member of the Re
publican State central committee at that
time.
MORE IS FA MY.
Among all the scandals that are now
being unearthed, and which will make
Grant's administration a reproach for
all time, the most detestable is that ol
speculating upon the bodies of dead
Union soldiers. In last week's Reporter
we furnished oar readers an account ot
the swindling in tombstones, we now
have a companion piece to itof a horri-
ble revelation relative to the swindle in
the bodies of dead soldiers. The X. Y.
Times is a republican paper, read what
its Washington correspondent says:
"The National Cemetery Ring i 9 the
vilest of the whole. It is the strongest
that has located about the national capi
tal—though Heaven knows the other are
strong enough. It had its origin just af
ter the close of the war, when they got
contracts to remove bodies from the bat-
tie fields in the various Southern States
to the several national cemeteries. Of
all the fraud* in the world, this shocking
scheme is one of the most wicked. The
contractors received a certain sum for
removing each body; and to make the
job profitable, they actually cut the body
into pieces, and made several of it, thus
increasing their pay. Often, where a
great number were found, buried in one
ditch, they would take out a half dozen
bones and nail them up in a box, and
get paid for it as one body.
"I do not telegraph this on hearsay
evidence. I have positive knowledge
that these things were done—were of
daily occurrence. A rule was afterward
made that nothing less than nineteen
separate bones would be paid for M a
body, but this did not break up the fraud
carried on at the graves of our hero
dead. The work of burying these bones
was another job, by which many thous
ands of dollars were robbed from the
Government. This finished, then the fur
nishing of headstones came, and it is es
ti mated that the money out of which the
Government was swindled in these
transactions counts up in the millions?
And yet these chiefs of the Cemetery
King are allowed to retain their illgot
ten gains; and if one word is said against
them, the old cry ot disloyalty is rais
ed.
"Rufus Ingulls, the present illegal
(juarter-master-General, who made the
present to Mrs. Grant, has a fund of
knowledge on these frauds, and it is to
be hoped the Committee on the Expen
ditures of the War Department will
make him divulge,or force him to resign
from the position he now holds. He
will, it is said, be relieved by Gen. Meigs
within two weeks, Gen. Meigs having
l>een ordered home from Europe."
We may soon look for cheaper sewing
machines, the patent upon which the large
manufacturers have held a monopoly
will soon run out and congress has refus
ed to extend it, leaving room for compe
tition. The first cost of a sewing ma
chine is from $lO to sl2 and they have
been sold from SOO to $73. With the ex
piration of the patent tlie.se machines
can be sold for s2sto S3O and yet be profi
table to the manufacturer.

A WITSESb, WHO WILL SOT TELL
One of the committees investigating
the Washington rings, has a witnv— who
will not tell what ho knows. The mat
ter on 14, was brought before the
hfoae.
oUr Glover, chairman of the Select
Committee on the Keal lis tale Pool an.;
the Jay Cooke- indebtedness made a re
port on the contumaciooanesa of a wit
'ness namcti Hallett Kilbonrne, who re
fused to produce the books of his linn 01
to answer certain questions as to whi
composed the reul estate pool. Tin
proceedings of the Committee were.reai
from which it appeared that the* rea
estate pool consisted, first, of five peraont
who had contributed $5,0U0 each aiu
who were subsequently assessed f2,0u0
each and of Jay Cooke A Co., who ii id
contributed |25,000 but did not pay any
assessment. His firm was the a'gen. y
through which the operation was to be
conducted, and had sulisequently pur
chased one of the original five thousand
dollar shares, paying for it the .exact
amount, with interest, which it liad cost
the owner. He declined to give tin
name of the person w hose interest had
been thus purchased. He also declined
giving any testimony relating to indi
viduals composing the pool. He said
that if it could be shown in any way that
ihe government was interested in it or
chat his testimony would promote the in
terest of the government in any way lie
would tell everything about it. In reply
to this, the Chairman informed him tt.a
the committee did not propose to look
into his private affairs but only int.
those that affected public interest. In
further response to his counsel, Mr.
Blark i the witness stated that the mat
ter had no relation whatever to any pub
lic affair; that it was purely a private
transaetion[and that there w'us no ■ finer
of the government of the United .Stales
-r of the government of the District ol
Columbia directly or indirectly connect-
Ed with it. The conclusion of the com
mittee is that it is necessary, for the etfi
cient prosecution of the inquiry, tha
Hallett Kilbourne shall be required t.
respond a subpeena duces tecum and t<
answer questions which he had n-fusee
to answer.
The Sergeant-at-Arms appeared at the
bar with Hallett Kilbourne, the recusan
witness in custodav. On being asked
whether he was prepared to answer the
questions put to him, he asked leave t<
be heard orally by his counsel (Mr.
Black and Mr. Dudley Field I. During
the consideration of the question .Mr
Glover intimated that he understood
from the witness that lie would be satis
tied by having read a written argument
prepared by his counsel.
Mr. Page insisted upon the .witness'
right to be heard orally by COUIIM 1 and
that view was advocated hv Mes-r-
Hoar and Conger andjwas op|>osed In
Messrs liolmanand Jenks.
Finally the proposition to be bear
orally by counsel was laid on the tahh
and a written argument was read from
the Clerk's desk. At the conclusion oi
the reading,the Speaker called upon tin
witness to rise, and addressing him In
asked whether Ire was now prepared P
answer the questions put to him bv tin
committee, (Reading them to him in de
tail). Mr. Kilbourne responded that In
respectfully declined for reasons hereto
fore given.
The Speaker then asked him whether
he was prepared to produce his books
and papers in obedience to a snbpo-na
duces teenm. Mr. Kilbourne replied that
he was not.
Mr. (Hover then offend a resolution
[ committing the witness to tin- custody
jof the Sergeant-at-Arms and requiring
that otficial to keep tlie wit new in custo
dy in the coininon jail of the District of
Columbia until he should purge himself
of his contempt.
The resolutions were agreed to and
the witness was removed by the Ser
gcunt-at-Arins.

Washington, March 14.—Secretary
1- ;-h i ommnnieated to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the House to-day so
much of the correspondence relating to
the resignation of Minister Schenck and
.ill other correspondence which lias pa*--
ed by telegraph and letter between the
state department and our ex-Minister
t ' England not heretofore received si
:he time the first batch ofotfieial corres
pondence in relation thereto was for
warded to the committee in February.
This correspondence will lie submitted
.o the committee at their meeting to
morrow. The main j>oint which mem
oir- of the committee say it establishes
i-that the i'ri sident either intentionally
>r innocently aided Schenck to escape
from Great Britain while ofiieers there
were only waiting for him to drop the
I oak ofollicial immunity before arrest
ing him f<r his conduct in the Knuua
Mine swindle. The dates of the cable
ie*patches -how that between the time
•fine ai-ceptance ofKchcnck'i resigna
tion and tiie time it (was 'made piiblic
-everal dyas elapsed, while Scbenck wus
n Knglaud, to all appearances, our rep
resentative, when realty he was simply
an ordinary citizen of the I'nited States,
iable t i arrest ami punishment. Mem
>vrs of the committee say be left Kng
ind nnder false pretenses, st-eiuing to
)>i- and rt c .gnize.l as the American Min
ister w hih lie was not. The committee
•eel that they are humiliated by the ac
tion of the President in accepting
•vhenek - resignation. I f the committee
as seem- very probable from the present
risifs in their possession, find the ear
Minister guilty of gross misconduct in
dfice, the President has no longer tin
rsiwcr. if he chose so to do to imlu!
eiisnre upon Schenck and remove him
from office w hen the notice of his Min-
ls ter's wrong-doings is brought to his at
tention by the committee of the House
who are investigating |tlic same. The
President's policy of "Let no guilty man
escape " seems to be interpreted by him
with the proviso. "If he doesn't tender
his resignation." And (the manner of
getting Schenck out of office was very
-inptilar. I'.efore the Belknap disrlocum
he cabled a dispatch in substance as fob
lows, and very nearly in these words
"I again tender mv resignation if my re
maining here is to embarrass aduiinis
ration." To this Mr. Fish replied: "Your
iespatcli requires no answer." Schenck
hen asked "May I print my despatch
and your reply in the London* daily pa
er- Before this came the Belknap
matter came out and Schenck was thun
-1 erst ruck at receiving something like the
following 'lt has been decided to n< -
i ej.t your resignation." In reply he ex
■■ressed his surprise at the sudden
change and asked, "May I lie granted
leave of abs nee to appear before the
committee, my resignation being held
in abeyance ?" To this Fish sent as the
huil, "Steps have already been taken
looking to appointment of your succes

The Schuylkill County Commission
ers, says the Times, who with one ex
ception are the only persons convicted
of malfeaaar.ee in office in Pennsylvania
in recent years, have been pardoned by
<iovcrnor li.irtranfton the recommenda
tion of the Board. The case against the
' dmmiwioners was very dear, and their
punishment by judge Pershing, who
presided at their trial with great im
partiality, comparatively light. The
crimes of tin Comiiiisstoners are com
mon in nearly every county of theNtate,
and their conviction doubtless had a
very wholesome effect. Whether this
has been destroyed by the action of the
Hoard of P*rdons and the Governor,

Joa* WANAiiAkEK, Esq.,
Dear Sir • In reply to your favor u
the 2kth u't., I havo had prepared the en
closed statement, exhibiting the numb*
of admissions to this Institution during lb'
months f December, January, and K<-b
ruarv last, and alto the proportion of lha
number who were committed at their owi
request.
Ol twenty-two hundred and forty-1ev
,2242 admissions, no less than eleven hun
dred and fifty one (1161; were self c m
milted.
The supposition that, as a clasr. the oc
cupaht- of the House of Correction ar<
thove who seek its food and shelter only i
avoid labor it erroneous. On the c-nlra
ry, at a rule, they work cheerfully enougl
even at the hardest and most disagrecabh
ot out-door employ menu—stone-quarry
ing, ditching, etc., though in very mari.v
cases, the men have horn educated to c 1 er
ieal rather than to manuel labor.
Th remit i, therefore, startling, n> nr.
index of the overcrowded condition ofma
. ny branches of industry, and I own full)
. endorse as excellent, the idea suggc ted
m your note, namely, to urge throush lh<
columns of the country papers, young nier
to 'lay tchtrt thry are, and not crowd K
the city in anticipation of obtaining cm
ploy men t, at least at the present time
Yours, truly,

The Tribune take* kindly to the Buck
eye bo of Emma Mine, and compliments
him thus
There has been a lingering suspicion
until now that the Great Republic had '
never been fulljr revenged. Other differ

well confess that till Schenck's reembnrk-'i
ation for home we harbored u feeling oil
I revengs. Hut now old scores are squared j
We have "placed 1 ' the Emma Mine on
the British public, and taught tho Eng
lis!) people the game of draw poker. Ours
is the prjud satisfaction of having not on- 1
ly given to Great Britain the originul rules '
of this noble game, but of having added
one more, and illustrated tho piny, that <
"our knave beats a qtooa." Wo entcr
tuin none but kindly feelings toward the
constables on the shore; it is his misfor
tune, that he represents the paw of the •
British Lion, while it is the glory of our
homewnrd-hieing diplomat that ho wears ,
the pinions of our own noble bird, and
that he could unfurl behind him to the
wondering gaze of the constable who had '
been rofernd to, Lord l)erby, these thrill
ing woids of one of Freedom's own poets: ®
Keep your eye ever lived on the Atnori- J
