The Sanborn Case.
Tho following from tho Now York
Tribune presents tbo law nnd the fuels
iu the moiety cases so plainly, that
wo give it without abbreviation.
When tho Houso of JieprosoAtativos
lust February culled upon the Secro-
tary of the Tieasury for tho docu
merits bearing ntion lliocontructs mado
under this law, Mr. Richardson strange
ly kept back some important papers
wi wiiiui. ww unve jiimvuiiiiuou kiiowi-
cogo. . 11 appoars that a low davs af
ter tho passage of the bill a porson
who had discovered that a cortain land
grant railroad was indobled to tho
Government in tho sum of about 8:1..
000,000, filed the' requirod affidavits,
and applied for a contract to colloct
the money. But this porson did not
understand tho game. His applica
tion wus not granted, nor has the debt
evor been rocovored. J t was privately
arrunged that this enormous monopo
ly should bo given to Gon. Butler's
man Sanborn, ullbough for a short
time olhcr persons lvclsey, Elbert,
Clark, nnd Campbell wore allowed,
porhaps lor tho sako of nppoarancos,
to try their 'prentice hands. The un
derstanding was that Sanborn should
"freeze out" tho informers who had
already gone on tho Irack of cortain
I muds, and should then tako posses
sion of cases already in tho bands of
the regular officers, act as the medium
for turning tbo money over to tho
Treasury, and retain for bis services
fifty per cent, of tho gross proceeds.
Accordingly tho law granting moieties
to informers in internal retenuo cases
was repealed in Juno, and a few weeks
later Mr. Sanborn mado bis first-contract
with the Treasury. 'Informers,
with valuable clueis in their possession,
suddenly found themselves at ths
mercy of Sanborn and Butler. The
fortunes upon which they had counted
vanished in the air. Tbo moncv
which their hands wore stretched out
to grasp turned to dead leaves. They
sold out for a mere triflo to the new
monopolist, who soomod to havo no
difliucty in getting from the Depart
ment any privilege ho asked for.
Whenever ho applied for a contract
covering hundreds of names of per
sons and corporations, but irivinir no
particulars of tho indoblednees or tho
evidence upon which ho dependod, it
was gran tod as a matter of course.
If in any cuso there was J bo slightosv
hesitation or inquiry, tho least effort
to determine whether the taxes bo
proposed to colloct were already iu
tho hands of the regular officers, no
trace thereof appears in the oQicial
correspondence. On the contrary it
is clear that tho tnx lists were taken
out ol the hands of iho collectors, and
corruptly transferrod.according to pro
ivous secret understanding, to this
private farmer of Iho revenue.
It will bo remembered that tbo law
authorized the Secretary of tho Treas
ury to employ private persons to "As
sist mo proper otliccrs in "discover
ing" and collecting toxes wrongfully
withhold : and it was urtred bv its nn-
ologists in Congress that its object
was t recover money which Iho Gov
ernment could not rcuch hy its ordina
ry agencies. Tho very first act of the
ireasury I'cpurttnent under the con
tract exposed tho dishonesty of this
pretence, anu l no fraudulent charaeti r
of the wholo arrangement. Mr. Bout
well issued a general ordor to super
visors and collectors "to assist John
J. Sanborn," and to place the records
of their offices at bis disposal. From
these records Sanborn obtained Iho
names included in his contract. The
Solicitor of tho Treasury next instruct
ed tho J listrict-Attorneys to give no
tico to tho collectors "not to receive
payment in cases embraced in Mr.
Sanborn s contract" and authorized
ibem to institute suits at Mr. Sanborn's
requosl. Sanborn was to pay their
iues out 01 ois moiety, and it bus been
learned that tho compensation of the
District Attorney under this bargain
was tivo per cent , though under the
law he only received two percent.
Sanborn now proceeded to nso thn
regular collectors; and supervisors as
111s Buooruinaies, causing them to col
lect tho taxes from tho information in
their own oflices, and to band tho
amount to him, when be psid half into
tho Treasury, and retained the rest.
tn othor words, bo intercepted U16

this commission upon paymonls with
which he had not oven a nominal 01

caso ho induced tho collector to Insist
upon tho payment of a lax not yot

The Matches We Use.
HOW, AND OF WHAT TIIi:V A11E MADE.
Tho slicks of which matches ore
mado are brought from Canada, whoro
the making of thoin is a separuio busi
ness. They aro mndo by machinery
which drives a block of wood upon a
steel die that bus numerous small holes
in it. Tho wood is forced through
these holes in the rounded form of the
match slicks. Thoy aro twice tho
length of an ordinary match, find come
packed in boxes. Tho first Ibing to
bo dono wilh the sticks is to arrange
mom so mat largo numbers can bo
handled at onco in dipping tho ends
in in mixtures that cause them to
light readily. If tho sticks were
simply tied together in bundles, they
would bo too close together, aud the
compositition would bo ull in ono mass
upon the ends, so a maehino had to be
invented which should muko hcm
into rolls and still keep tho slicks a
litllo distanco apart. This machine
did its work with wonderful rapidity
and accurucy j tho sticks woro applied
to tho machine which mado thorn into
large rolls, and wilh a belt of cloth
botween tbo luycrs of sticks : this cloth

some two feet across, it is bound so
curely and then taken to unother
room. Thecomposilion upon thoends
of tho matches does not burn long

long onough to set firo to it. For tho
cheaper matches sulphur is U3cd, but
fojr whut are callod parlor matches
they uso paraffino, which burns with
out any unpleasant odor. Tho ma
terial is melted in a largo vessel, und
tho roll of sticks so suspended that
the ends can bo evenly and slightly dip
ped in the melted suliibur. Both ends
are dipped, and they uro then ready
to recoivo the composition that lakes
firo when tho match is ru'obod. The
pnnctplo thing in tho composition is
phosphorus. The phosphorus is mixed
with dissolved glue, and whi.ting or
some other powdor lo muko a paste,
and coloring stuff is atldod. Tho whole,
tier being stirred over a firo is put
into a machine whero it is more thor
oughly mixed. It is very important
Ihut tbo composition be well mixed,
is otherwise somo matches will got
more, and some less phosphsrus than
they should. After it is well mixed
tbo slicks that have bad their ends
covered with sulphur or paraffino are
uipped in it in the samo manner as at
tho first dipping, only caro is required
to have but a small quantity of the
mixture just at tho very tips. The
ncxtslep is to dry the matches, and
thoy are taken to a room whero they
are placed upon racks; hero thore is a
fun rapidly rovolving, so as to con
slantly cliango tho air and eraduallv
dry the composition upon Ike ends of
tne muicnes. 1 hey aro not allowed
lo become so dry that they will roadily
tako firo, as ll.cy havo still to go
through another machine, and if they
wcro perfectly dry, disagreeablo acci
dents might happen. Thus far the
nvilches aro in pairs, or"double-head-ers"
twice Iho length ol one and
Ihey huvo ta bo cut apart. For this
they aro put into a cutting maehino,
which unrolls tho bundle and carries
the sticks over a knil'a which' rapidly
culs them in equal putts, and the now
completo matches slide- into boxes on
each side of tho maehino. All that
remains lo bo done is to pack them
in mo proper ooxes.
Origin of the Dollar Mark,
A writer in tho Atlantic Monthlu
mis a curious paper on tho origin of
the dollar symbol (S). In brief, his
theory is that Iho two parallel upright
marks mny bo traced back Id tho pil
jars of Hercules, and Iho S like figure
is the scroll entwined aiound them.
According to tradition, when tho Ty
rain colony landed on tho Atlantic
const of Spain, and founded the an
cient city of (Jades, now Cadiz, Mel
curthus, tho louder of tho expedition,
set up two stono pillars as momorials,
ovor which was built a tomplo of Her
cules. As tho tomplo Increased in
wealth, tho stono pillars wcro replaced
by othors, mado of an alloy of gold
and silver, and theso two pillars bo
came, in timo, Iho emhlom of tho city,
as a horse's head boeamo that of Carth
ago. Centuries later, when Charles
V. bocamo Emperor of Germany, he
adopted a now coat of arms, in which
tho pillars of Cades or Cadiz, occupied
a prominent position in tho devico.
Ilcnco, when a now coin, tbo colon
niilo, wus struck at tho Imperial mint,
it bore the now devico two pillars,
