Grant, in his annual Message, affects a great desire for reform In the civil service of the country, and declared in favor of the summary punishment of defaulters. But, hehola his consisten cy I It tarns out that ho (Grant) is himself a defaulter to the government to the tune of $5,000, ever since the Mexican war, when he held the posl uon of commissary and quartermaster; and although repeatedly called upon to settle up by the Third Auditor, he never even deigned a reply. This ex by tlm Washington ■rTQfftvoi, on the authority of the rec ords in tho Treasury Department.— Exchange* •Yes, Grant is a defaulter .to the gov ernment. When the Washington Pa triot made the exposure, the correspon dents of Radical city Journals hastened to the Third Department, hoping not to find the story true They examined the books, and the fact stared them in the face that Grant, when a Lieutenant and Quartermaster during the Mexican war, had failed to account for $5,000 entrusted to his keep ing. Long before the war with Mexi co bad terminated, Grant was' dismiss ed from the military service on account of drunkenness and inefficiency. His defalcation was.soon after discovered. He was notified of the fact, but he paid no attention to it, for he was out of the army—but of money—and utterly de moralized. Is it not wonderful that a low, illit erate, dishonest man like Grant should be President of the United States ? It Is enough to shake a man’s belief in the capacity of the people for self government, On two or three occasions we had men of ordinary capacity for our rulers. Harrison was an ordinary man, and the same may be said of Taylor. But Harrison and Taylor were men of good sound sense, and above all—men of sterling integrity and honor. They did not deal in stocks and stone-quarries’ during the time they held office, nor did they receive costly presents in consideration of ap pointing rascals to office. Neither of them conferred offices upon relatives,— and both remained at the seat of gov ernment in the discharge of their onerous duties. No man would have dared to offer a house, or a span of hor ses, or alarm, or a bull pap to Harri son or Taylor, notwithstanding both had performed better military services than Grant ever performed. Their characters as upright men were known, and venal and corrupt bargains were not proposed to them. But Grant, a man with scarcely an idea—a man so notoriously ignorant that foreigners are astounded when in his presence—he who went into the Presidential chair (not three years ago,) a pauper and a defaulter to the government, is now worth his two or three millions of dol lars, and every relativehe has on earth bolds a good, fat office. And yet in the face of these humiliating facia, we see Grant’s office-holders singing ho sannahs to their master, and appealing to the people to give him and them another lease of power! We cannot believe that the people will again endore this n>an Grant;, If they do, It will be evidence that the masses themselves are corrupt; .and perfectly willing to sell their birth right fpr a pallrler price than a mess of pottage. Let the men who feel a lively interest in the honor and welfare of our once proud- country, stop and think— and we feel satisfied they will agree with ns that something must be done to rescue our government from “ the slough of despond” in which it is now floundering. There is no good reason— no palliation even, for our culpable carelessness and neglect of duty. We must have a higher standard of politi cal honesty, and the public conscience, roused from its debauched lethargy, will re-assert its influence upon public servants.- In the language of an able writer in one of our American Be yiews, who is. alarmed at the dishon esty now so prevalent, : “ any man who helps in any degree to form an intelligent public opinion does the State no small service. Public opinion is rightfully the reflector of the intelli gent thought of every citizen. It is the pulse of the national hea^t; and the less the degree of the intelligence that is reflected, the less active, free, and regular the beating of. that pulsa tile greater the danger in which the republic stands." Mexico.—President Juarez is terri bly in earnest with his enemies in the present struggle, evidently determined to make prenunciamentos and revolu tions unpopular in his country, for a couple of years to come at least. Valdes, a revolutionary chief, who put forth his edict of independent sovereignty on the 19th ult., was captured soon after, and hanged, and with him several of his followers. This is a uew, summary and certainly cruel way of dealing with Insurgents Jn_ Mexico. But it may, after all, prove a work of mercy to executeA-half-score-of-the-restless-plot.- ten and leaders of mischief who are. forever inciting petty rebellions, not for the purpose of vindicating or estab lishing any political principle, but for the dastardly object of wholesale pillage. The ignominious death of Valdes may cause Diaz and bis leaders to fly their country, and in future content them selves with leading peaceful and useful lives. A Tribune Wail.—The N. Y. Tri bune indignantly exclaims, “were one hundred of the best and most efficient officers in the revenue service at this port, after comparing notes, to unite tomorrow in this declaration: ‘ We regard Charles Sura nor, the eminent and spotless champion of universal liberty, the oldest (in service) and the bravest Senator, still at his post, as the proper man to lead the Bepublican army in our next Presidential canvass, and invite all Republicans to unite with os in commending him to general acceptance,’ they would all be removed from office within a week. No conced ed efficiency, no proved fidelity, no political service in the past, no capacity for such service in the future, could save them from instant proscription.” Sad Accident.— A telegram dated Harrisburg, Jan 5, says: The express train of yesterday, on the Northern Central railroad, at Rockville, eight miles West of here, struck a wagon containing Jacob Baker and Miss Julia Strow, injuring Baker and killing Miss Strow instantly.

Cincinnati, Jan. 4.—A special from Little Rock, Ark., to the JSnguirer, contains a.statement from Alfred San ders,'’ the ■ brother of one of the men who was shot by the negroes in Chicot, Arkansas, corroborating the reports of negro outrages in that place. Ho says, after killing three men, a number of armed negroes went to his brother’s house, fired Into the doors and win dows, and demanded $lOO, threatening In case of refusal to burn the house The money was paid, and shortly after another party appeared and demanded $BO, which was paid. -Sanders .then left the village. He also states that the negroes killed ail the stock of mules, horses and cows owned by large plant ers in this vicinity. Every person coming or going is challenged by the negro guard, who yeV remain, and the whites are still afraid to return to their hofnes. —lelegramto PhiPa, Jnquirer, Why is it that these 'turbulent and blood-thirsty negroes—these thieves, murderers and) incendiaries are per mitted to indulge in their favorite pass time for weeks -together without at tracting the attention of Scott’s Ku- Klux Committee ? Had while men been engaged in wickedness such aJ> these vagabond negroes have been guilty of, what a howl would have gone up'from Grant’s office-holders and licensed thieves, and with what haste would troops have been ordered to Chicot, Arkansas ? John Scott, who is now, by common consent, considered the greatest falsifier and .prevaricator in America, would have roiled the whites of.his bleared eyes in holy hor ror at the recital of these dare-devil outrages, and a special meeting of. his packed committee would have been called to take immediate cognizance of the same. Scores of men—whether guilty or not—would have been arres ted by the military, hurried before an ignorant, carpet-bag judge and a negro “jury,” where they would have been convicted and sent to the penitentiary 1 for a term of years. This would have 1 been the course of the administration, 1 we say, had the outrages mentioned in the above telegram been perpetrated by white men. But they are negroes who are mur dering and robbing the people of Ohi cot county, Arkansas, and of course the oars of the imbecile Brant and the sanctimonious John Scott, are deaf to the appeals of the white people of that section for protection. The negroes are beginning to believe—and they have grounds for their belief—that they can murder, steal and apply the torch with impunity., The course of the ad ministration and Scott’s Committee has convinced them that they are a privi leged class, to do as they please. In deed, it is very generally believed that white carpet-baggers are their advi sers and abettors, and are sharing with the negroes the plunder acquired. In the mean time, the negroes and carpet baggers—jail-birds from Massachusetts —are holding nearly all the positions' of honor and profit in the Southern States, to the great annoyance and in calculable injury of the tax-payers. Of the sixty-eight negro members of the South Carolina Legislature, but seven can read or’write, and nine, of them have served terras in jail or the penitentiary. How would' the people of Pennsylvania relish-a stale of affairs like this? How would they like to see the legislation of our great Slate placed in the hands of uneducated negroes, and Massachusetts vagabonds? The men who have been instrumental in bringing the Southern States to this humiliation, deserve the execrations of the American people. Radical politi cians may rejoice to see the Southern mien thus outraged and robbed; they may say “it is what the rebels de serve,” but the man of sense who de sires the prosperity of his whole country, can indulge in no such embit- ( tered sentiments. Had Radical office holders permitted the people of the South to regulate the|r own affairs, (after the war had closed,) we would . have had peace and prosperity in that : rich section of our country, and the U. ; S. Treasury would have been the gain er by hundreds of millions of dollars— To humiliate and cripple the South may assist Grant’s thieving administration 1 in its political aspirations, but' it at the sapae time deprives the Treasury ofan immense revenue, and this fact should attract the attention of honest, thought ful men. *®-The dead-lock in the State Senate was “let up” on Thursday last by Mr. Buckalew voting for Mr. Bufan for Speaker. The vote stood—Butan (Rad.) 17, Broadhead (Dem.) 15. Mr. Buck alew, in explanation of his vote, said that the Democratic Senators had requested him to vote for Mr. Butan, and thus organize. the Senate, as an evidence that they (the Democratic Senators,) had no, desire to appear factious or to throw obstacles in the way of legislation. At this writing there has been no' election of Clerk or other officers. The Bochesteb Fiend Behind the Baes Atolegram“datedAubarn7 N. Y. Jan, 5, says: The negro Howard, who committed ontrage on a white gilr in Rochester, a few days since, arrived in this city this morning and took bis place in the State prison under the sentence of twenty years. He was very happy to get safely within the wails, putting his thumb to his nose and making a fan of his fingers to the crowd outside, as he went up the steps of the main hall. Another radical voter less. If the penitentiary could claim its own we would have no Radical party. —A Philadelphia contemporary says that one of the pasters in the bouse of representatives is a professional rat catch er, well known along the wharves in that city. He must prove a moat valua ble accession to the members of the bouse and will no doubt furnish any amount of rats for their amusement during the session. The Cincinnati Gazette, one of the oldest, ablest and staunchest of Repub lican journals, says: “The people protest against the false pos.tion In which they have been placed by Repub lican Senators who voted against Trum bull’s resolution.” The Queen of England has published a letter in which she wishes to express her deep sense of the touching sympa thy exhibited for her family by the whole national the illness ol her son, the Prince of Wales, now nearly recov ered.

We publish' 'in another column . n portion of tho testimony taken before tho Senate investigating committee. — Read it, tax-payers. Tlint tho Custom House at New York has been run In the interest of tho admin stratlon and its political friends, is now an estab lished fact. Millions of. dollars have been transferred from.the people to tho pockets of Grant’s recognized pots.— One-half the stealings thus obtained are retained by Grant’s office-holders— tho other half goes into the general corruption fund, to bo used for politi cal purposes. Grant is guilty, beyond a doubt. Speaking of his guilt, the Harrisburg Patriot says : “ The President’s complicity with this transaction is palpable from 'the beginning, to the end. It is seen in the letter to, Grinnell; in imparting to Leet the hint that Grinnell would be appointed collector, in order that ho might avail himself of the state secret, ingratiate himself with the incoming collector and obtain what he sought; in the subsequent removal of Grinnell', tho appointment of Murphy and the full fruition of tho hopes of Leet. The story reads more like that of a court in trigue in the reign of Charles II or Louis XV to secure a reward to a royal favorite, than the appointment to an officer under a democratic republic. It shows that the revenue system of the United States is more corruptly man aged than that of any country in the world, and that the President; with full knowledge of the abuses, connives at them, and superintends the division 01 the infrmous booty among his personal dependents. In the face of this most shameful chapter in the official history of the country, wo will continue to he told that Grant earnestly desires a re form of the civil service, and that his reeieetion is necessary for the accom plishment of this ref jrm. Can there be a heavier draft on party credulity and prejudice than to insist that any wholer some reform cap be inaugurated by a President, who'has proved an accom plice and abettor in the grossest official abuses. ATLANTIC MONTHLY ' ON GRANT. The last number of the Atlantic Monthly , in giving its preference for the’ renouiination of Grant, says of him ; “As a rule, military men are not the stuff .to make good statesmen for an unmilitaryand commercial society, —* For the most part they entertain a pro fessional contempt for law, eveh-when they avow their loyalty to it. Of this peculiarity General Grant’s adminis tration has given at ‘least one single illustration. Declaring himself firmly opposed to intervention in the affairs of foreign nations, he has.for some time past maintained a protectorate of San Domingo, which is in reality an illegal war against Hayti, carried on in the teeth of a distinct provision of the Con stitution. Again, General Grant sefms ignorant of the elementary principles of economical science to the xfreme of believing that the chief sources of the wealth of this country is to be found in the mines of California. His system of appointments has been unintel glble. Appointments such as Mr. Murphy’s and Consul General Butler’s, are possi ble, we see, because commissions have, been.issued to them; but how the same man who appointed. Mr. Murphy and Consul General Butler should have also appointed Mr. Fish and Judge Hoar, is inexplicable. Besides all this, he has shown a singular want of delicacy, to say the least, in receiving innumerable presents, and indirectly profiting him-: self put’of government contracts. To own stock in a commercial enterprise is one thing, but to own stock, in a corporation which is daily making val uahle contracts .with the departments at Washingti n is, lor the President ot the United States, quite another. We do not impugn his honesty. He is, no dpupt, innocent of all share in the management of t|ie “ administration quarry,” but such a scandal ou«rnt nol o be. possible. Nevertneless, he is a better candidate than any one who is likely to come into the field between now and June.” This is an endorsement that would damage some men beyond repair. A few more such, and the .Republican parly will have to search for a new can didate. ' One Term.—Springfield, Illinois, January s.—The bouse this morning passed a resolution favoring one term for the presidency by 71 ayes to 57 noes, all the Democrats and 11 Republicans voting for It. .

James Fisk) Jr., was shot twice Id-the breast, by Edward, titokea, at the_Graort, Central Hotel,,at 4*20 P. MVto-day f and was mortally wounded. Stokes was ar rested, and taken to tho Fifteenth Pre ednot Station house. Tbe following are the circumstances attending the Fiak shooting case: A£ 4:30 P. M-, a carriage stopped at the en trance of the Grand Central Hotel, con taining Fisk and a companion. The former alighted and entered the .hotel, for tiie purp'iaaof proceeding to his rooms, and as ho ascended the first step Stokes came out of an adjoining passage way, and, unperceived by Fink, unbuttoned his coat, drew a rev« iverand rapidly ills*, charged three shots at Fisk ; the first lodged in Fisk’s shoulder, the second whistled by bis bead, and tbe third, with more fatal direction, strucklhlm in the abdomen, inflicting a mortal wound.— Fisk at once staggered and fell, while Stokes, casting a look of hatred on. Mb prostrate fmm, said, in a savage tone: “I have done for the of a this time.” Fiak evidently recognized bis assailant before falling, but made no remark. . Immediately after the shots were fired the hotel employees lushed to the scene, and while some cared for tbe wounded man, others seized Stokes, who, seeing that escape was impossible, made no re sistance, and was promptly handed over to the police. Fisk was quietly conveyed to his room, where (he surgeon sof (he hotel was soon iu attendance upon him. Meanwhile telegraphic messages were sent for further surgical aid, and for the friends of Fisk. . The scene at the hotel after the shooting wuh one of extraordi nary excitement. The crowds coming from the various theatrical matinee-, bearing of the affair, thronged the corri dors of the hotel, eagerly discussing the event, and making inquiries about the particulars of the outrage. The officers who arrested Stokes took him to the Fifteenth Precinct Bration House, where he is now lodged in a celi. It is said that the order of J udge Brady, restraining Stokes and Miss Mansfield, from publishing the letters in Miss Mans* field's possession, affecting Fisk, Peter B* Sweeney and others, has had an exas perating effect upon Stokes, and it is be- ihpt be was aroused to desperation partly in consequence of rumors, gener ally received as well founded that th 6 Grand Jury have found an indictment uguin-t himself and Miss Mansfield for attempts to blackmail Fisk. The wound in Fisk's abdomen is simi-. lar to that which caused the death of the lute Valaudighpm. At BP. M. the doc tors were probing for the bullet, but had not yet succeeded in finding it. It is be lieved. Fisk will dTe before morning, and the Coroner bas been sent for to take his ante-mortem statement. ; The news of the shooting was spread over the city, and has produced .intense excitement. His frieuds claim that in the examination at the Yorkvilie Police Court to-day, the evidence in the case was strongly iu favor of Fisk, and tended to show that Stokes and Mansfield were endeavoring to levy black mail. They say the Mansfield case was completely broken down, and that Stokes lost alt seif-control. Stokes’ statement of the affair has not yet been made public. - Charles B. Spencer, one of Fisk’s law yers. says that Stokes bas already obtain ed $50,000 from bin client, and was at tempting to get more, but fai'ed . Stokes,-on being taken 10 the station house, was intenogated on the subject of the shooting, but on advipeof counsel refused to make any statement.

It is rumored that Btokes has engaged John Graham to act as his counsel. The bullet penetrated aboutAwo inches above the nave), and passed mwp towards the right. The doctors believe the intestines are uninjured. Threats of lynching were treely expressed against Stokes. J an. T«-I:3U A.

A few moments before 11 o'clock A. M. to-day,, Fisk expired at the Grand Cen tral Hotel. All night the Erie employ ees, of all grades, thronged-the corridors adj -lnlng Fisk's rooms. Jay Gould was in attendance from an erriy hour this morning. His face, while there was yet a hope that his friend might recover, had Us usual calm expression. No sooner had Flak expired, however, than Gould’s for titude gave way, and his grief found vent in tears* The news of Fisk’s death spread rapidly, and everywhere produced a pro found. sensation and regret. From an early hour the hotel was crowded with people eagerly peeking information ap to the state of Fisk and the chances of his -n-coveryv-but -when—tbß-—newe_Qf_his. death spread over the city, crowds bur “Hed-to—the-boteirand—tho-corrldorsrhe— came almost impassable. No unkind word was heard of the dead. On the contrary many tongues mentioned uum l erous acts of kindness the deceased had performed. He lay upon his side, breath ing heavily; his face was pale, but before 6 A. M. had not any alarming expression —only around the eyes were dusky rings —that seemed to show some little dan ger . At 6 o’clock the first opinions change appeared in the patient. He grow a'lit tle restless, his face had a greater pallor, and his breathing was less easy and reg ular. Dr. Fisher found his pulse was more rapid, very nearly 100. At 0:30 Fish said something In a broken tone, and then closed his eyes. The change in his face had become more apparent, the pallor was more deathlike, and his pulse was qyer 100. At 7 o'clock it was announced that be was fast sinking, his pulse beating at 1:30. Shortly after, Mrs. Fisk, his wife, and Mr. Mnree, bis fa ther-in-law, arrived oud went to the bed side of i the sufferer. Mrs. Fisk was greatly agitated, and ths scene was the most heart rending that had yet taken place, and those present could not con tain their emotion. At 7:30 the friends collected In the ante room had been joined Iw others, one by one. who asked iinxlouny after the condilion of Fisk.— Lawyer Sherman and Jay Oou Id stood near, the latter completely overcome.— The Doctors were appealed to by his wife to give some little hope, but they gently indicated that they dared notsav there was any chance of ll'e. Flak was not much moved.at the moments when be was cognizant ol -hla surroundings, hut seemed to preserve the coolness and fortitude be displayed when first shot.. As the morning advanced his pulse still grew more alarming, and ho became, more and more feverish and exhausted The morphine Which ban been given him in largb quantities only kept him frum terrible agony, and as It was, his tortures were exorutl .ting. At 8 A. M., there was little chance. At 8:30 the doc tors consulted again, amt at« o’clock the suppressed excitement about bis lied was film cat. too Intense to bear. At 0:30 a few were permitted to go to bis bedside.— The length.of bis life, now depended on his being kept asquietaspossible.,There was by this time a good deal of going to .and fro in the sick man’s chamber.— Fisk thanked- his friends simply for comltig. The rapidity of his decline showed itself more strongly than ever before. At 10 A. M there was an eager and bushed whispering, as It was told In every ear that the end was surely drawing near. At 10:30 he lay scarcely knowing that there was any ministering to him. He looked at the opposite wall and noticed no one, and fifteen minutes later he breathed his last. After the death had been announced numbers of friends were allowed to view the body, but the geueral public was not admitted. At 2 P.

He says he did the deed In a state of frenzy. All the Journals comment on Fisk’s murder. The Herald says t “the cow ardliness of this not has reaped its first, fruifs in the public mind, b$ awakening for Fisk a wide-felt sympathy. There Is nothing in the case to distinguish it from murder, for which death on the gallows (s the penalty.” The Times pronounces, tbe murderous deed as brutal and cowardly, and says it will attract towards Fisk an amount of public sympathy to which no part of hia career has entitled him.

A “ Hess” of Three Whose I’xpen scs for Euting und Drinking arc more than (<115,000 EXTORTION AND We . are indebted for the following to the New York Sun of Saturday : The senate investigating committee resumed Its session yesterday morning. The first witness was Mr. Lindsay, who produced the following letter, written in Colonel Leet’s handwriting: “F, M. Bixby guarantees to the party controlling (he “ general order business of the North rivet, except .the Inman and National line of steamers, the. sum of $5,625 per annum profits, payable in monthly instalments in advance, or. should the nceipta from the storage of ‘general order* goods exceed the sum of $lO,OOO per annum, then the amount in excess to be divided equally between Mr. Bixby and the copartners whose influ ence directs (he business of bis ware liouaes. It is understood that all receipts from storage of ‘general order* goods are .to be considered as proflfs—Mr. Bixby furnishing warehouse room as an equiv alent for the Influence above quoted.— Should this arrangement be continued beyond one year, then the sum to be to be $5,000 per annum. This to take effect from July 15, 1809.” Mr. Bayard—Did Leet ever complain to you, Mr. Lindsay, that bis share of. the profits of. the general order business, S 5 000, waHn’t enough for him ? Mu Lindsay—Yes, sir, often. He said hehndcometo New York (omake money, ami he was bound to make money. Mr. Howe- Many come to New York with that determination and fail, don’t they?. A. Yes. sir: 1 came to New York with that determination, and I’ve failed. Mr. Bayard Did you prepare any written statement with regard to this matter? A.—l have written many let ters about it. I made it my dut> to as ceitaiu the influences that were at work for the removal of Mr;.Grlnell. ONLY A VOLUNTEER. Q.—Was that influence open or secret? A.—Mostly secret. X should bate to go into the details. I assure vou I have no testimony to offer that wilJ reflect upon the President. I spoke with them lost night at the Fifrh Avenue hotel/and they told me I was but a voluntary wit ness. Mr. Howe (laughing)—ln this conflict we hold, just as in Ihe late war, that the volunteers are as good as the regulars. Mr. Casserly—Who told you. that you were but a voluntary witness? A.—l don’t remerpber. Q. —Have you the order by which Col lector GriunelT gave Colonel Leet (ho control over the genera) order business? A. —Yes. sir. Here it is. The follow’ng letter was read. Custom House, N. Y., Collector’s Office, July 23,18*19—Sir; X have di rt-c ed Deputy Collector Williams, of the warehouse division, to send all goods landing under 'general orders’ on the North river, with the exception of those from the Inman and National lines of steamships, to such store or Stores us may be Indicated by you and associated with you.

THE PARTIES IN ONE “ MESS. ” Mr. Buokingham—Do I understand you to say that Babcock and Porter shared Leet’e profile, and you never heard of it? A.—l only said they were partners in one mess. Q.—Then you have no idea that Bab cock and Porter were interested with Leet in the general order biislnesk ? A. —No, emphatically, no. Mr. Casserly—Did the three partners in the mess ever receive packages from the custom house? A.—Leet told me once, "Porter has received word from Moses that a case of wine la ou the way here.” I was very much struck by his using the familiar woid *‘Moses” to des ignate Mr. Grinnell. Mr. Pratt—l infer from that the aim and purpose of that mess were eating and drinking? A. —Yes sir. Q,—And for the purpose of eating and drinking $15,000 were not enough? A Ye-, sir; Leet complained to me o ten that the $5,000 were not sufficient to de fray the expenses of the “mess.” Mr. Howe—W hat time did Leet com plain that bis-$5,000 wore not enough ? A.—Oh; ho made these complaints frum the start. Mr. Casserly—How longbefore Colonel Leet became connected with the general order business did you know him?'

Qi—Do you know what ,hls relations with Babcock ami Potter were? A. — Very cordial, Indeed; very Intimate. A TBBRtnLB'CALAMITY AVERTED. Mr, Howe walked about, his hands In bis pockets. He opened bis mouth every now and then as tho Ugh he expected to swallow one of the senators; hut be did not. Be only yawned. Q.—Did you stale that you received from Beet letters dated from the White House? A.—Yes, sir; when ho was at Washington his letters were dated from the White House. Q —How longdid he continue to do. that? A.—During the whole correspond ence. Mr. Bayard asked the witness to give him an Idea of the new cartage system. Mr. Buckingham—That -has no con nection with the custom house abuse proper. '• Mr. Bayard—We want to see whether there are frauds there, too. Mr. Buckingham—lt you want to brlng.out that there are no frauds there, goon; : ; T ■ . Mr. Bayard—With regard to Stocking, was Slocking a partner of Colonel Leet? A.—Yes, sir. .Q.—Where did Stocking reside before he came to New York? A.—He was a sutler in the army.

Q.—Was he appointed on account of these letters? A. —Yes, sir. CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICES BOUGHT. • Mr. Casserly—Do you know of custom house appointments made in return for money paid to politicians of influence ? A.—l believe it Is the case. I have beard It freely stated. Q.—You believe that political influence is thus made profitable in this communi ty? A.—l so understand It. Q.—Do you Know it to be the case ? A.—l have no reason to doubt it. i Mr. Bayard—Have you heard of exor bitant charges for storage by the store keepers ot the general order store? A.— Yos, sir.

Mr. Pratt—Did you see Stocking's let ters of recommendation which be brought fiom Senators Morton and Spencer? A. Yes. sir. I saw them. Q.—Do you remember the wording of those letters? A.—No, sir. They were general letters of recommendation.' Q,. —About the same as those by Mr. Waobburne and the . President which were furnished yob yesterday? A.—Yes, sir; about the same, Q.-You were asked about the places ■in the custom house which. were paid for by money. Do you know the politi cians who have obtained p aci-s for tbelr friends on such conditions? A.—No, sir. Q.—You don't know anything positive about the matter; but still you said you had no doubt about it ? A.—Mr. Grin nell told me several cases. There is no doubt about it iu ray mind. Q. —Do the warehouse keepers pay the inspectors? A.—Yes sir. Q.—Whut is the motive for that ? A. —1 suppose to make them hurry in Bend ing the goods to the stores. BLACK MAI Q, —In the letter addressed to you by Mr. Grinnell it was stated that the stores shall be indicated "by you and the as sociates with you. Who were your as sociates ? A.—l never gave the slight* est directions. The letter was so.worded In order to cover up Leet* .1 never made a dollar out of the business. Q. —You Indicated* Blxby’s store, did you not ? A.—Yes sir, Mr. Htewart—Did you know Mr..Grin* nel befo»ehe was collector? A.—No sir. Q.—Who suggested .your name 10 him for the general order business ? A.—-Ido not know sir. Q.r-Y&u believe Mr. Grinnell. to have been a good oilicer, do you not? A.—Yea air.' ' • Q. —You don't think that he’d cover up anything ? A.~No sir, I don't think Q.—Why did he pretend to write the letter to you while he in reality meant Leet? A.—Mr. Leet drew his salary from, the government, and he didn’t want to publish the matter to the world. Q,. —Was there any Impropriety in Mr. Leet’s drawing his salary as an array of ficer and make money out of the custom house at the same time? A.—Lest told me it was an arrangement between Orinnell and him to civer-the matter up. Q#-Dops it not occur to you that if G innell and Leet were wrong you helped to cover up the fraud ? A.—l didn’t know it was a fraud. I did it out of friendship for him.. Q.—You think it is acting as a f iend to enable him to violate the law ? A.—t didn't know, that it was violating the law. Q —You didn’t think it was tyrobg.of Le-t to draw his pay as ah army officer all along ? A.—No sir. , Q.—You think it was only done to keep politicians out in the dark, and so you didn't consider you had done any hing wrong ?. A—Bxa etly.

A.—Well, sir, they wanted to shoulder on me the whole odium'of the cartage business, Q.—Who ? A.—William Hall, Colofiel Lett and others. Mr, C. A. Lewis, f,ho managing editor of the Evening Post, testified that the Inspectors of luggage were, without ex ception, in the habit of receiving bribes for passing the trunks ot passengers. In 1867, when I arrived here with some in valid ladles, I made out a Hat of my lug gage. The Inspector suggested to me that he would make out a blank return, and after a few days he came up to the office of the Post aud asked me for a pre sent, which I gave him. Secretary Boutweil, Ip conversation with me, ad mitted that the corruption was universal. I'bls was In the surveyor’s department. With regard to the appraiser's depart ment, the government Is constantly de hauded by false appraisement of goods. Mr. J. 8. Kennedy told me that ho met recently a custom house broker. “ Youv’e imported a lot of goods,” the broker asked, “Yes;” Mr. Kennedy replied, “ whnt of that?" “Did you put in a claim for damages,” the broker asked.— “The goods were not damaged,” Mr. Kennedy said. “ Why,” said the bro ker, “ It's the regular thing; just allow me to put In a claim." Of course Mr. Kennedy turned away disgusted; but f 'only tell you this as one out nl hundred coses that have oome to my knowledge MR. GBINNELL KNOWS COVERING UP A FRAUD. FILES. j TiiEY lmvote model city engineer out id StV note, sent by him to n city contractor, who sent him a i present on Christmas eve: . “ Beak : I. thank you for the compliment of a Christmas gift of 'a silver ifniitmetundj.-nnd ■ silver berry spoon, sent to my door Christmas eve, during my absence. It was very much admired by those who maw the .Costly gift; but, sir, you must- permit l me to return it to you, believing li wrong to become the recipient of presents from city contractors while I am'hoiding the position of City Engineer. I cannot conscientiously compromise the admin istration, which appointed me to offleo, or place myself under implicit obliga tions to contractors doing work for the City. Hoping that a feeling of good fellowship may at all times exist be tween us, I am, dear sir, your obedient servant, J. B. Moulton.” The “model city engineer” spoken of above, is not in accord with Grant on the subject of “ presents.” Grant receives presents in exchange for offl-* ces, but Moulton, the engineer, can not conscientiously accept presents from those who employ him. Moulton is a man of honor; Grant is not—that’s the difference. * The year 1872 contains fifty two Sundays. September and December each begins on a Sunday.^,.January, April and July on Monday.
