Wo uro indebted to the New York
Star for a perusal of the reports of the
(ilover committee on the management
and corruption of the Treasury De
imrtment. It fully just'fies all that
lias been said of the maladministration
of the country's finances. It lays bare
a record of corruption, fraud and out
right stealing Oil so stupendous a scale
as to almost stagger belief, fortified us
it is at every jHtint by facts uyd fig
ures, traced out with great labor from
twenty years of crooked accounts,
forced balances, false entries and gen
eral distortion of criminating official
data. The amounts wasted and stolen
foot up millions. Among other things
it is shown by conclusive proof that
at this moment over $6,000,000 of a
government trust fund (the proceeds
of the sale of cotton captured during
the war), is absolutely unaccounted
for; that a Director of the Mints
abused bis high responsibilities by
dealing in bullion stocks, and by an
untrue official report caused a fluctua
tion in the value of the stock he was
interested in of over $100,000,000, prof
iting largely by the rise aud making
immense fortunes for the parties inter
ested with him and in his confidence ;
that this same officer, by private ad
vices to interested parties concerning
the intended action of the Treasury in
suspending the coinage of trade dollars,
enabled them to make a corner on
these coin- in the Pacific markets and
harvest a large percentage on the ad
vance which • followed the public an
nouncement; that the issue of govern
ment notes and bonds has been -u ma
nipulated that immense overissues of
currency have occurred ; that ns much
as $19,000,000 of currency notes have
been afloat for months the Treas
ury accounts were falsified to conceal
the overissue ; that for nearly a year
(18H6) the government had from $5,-
ttoo,UlM) to SM 1,000.000 more outstand
ing than the accounts showed ; and
finally, that the accounts have been
deliberately altered, erased and falsi
fied to cover fraudulent transactions
from Congressional inquiry.
In addition to these damaging facts
the report points out the curious and
suspicious circumstance that tloods of
so-called "excellent counterfeits" have
been found in circulation soon after im
portant elections. It is shown that each
of the last three Presidential elections
was followed by a Treasury announce
ment that large amounts of "counter
feit" notes were afloat. In 18i!'.t the
whole issue of legal tenders was with
drawn and replaced, on the ground
that they had been largely and skill
fully counterfeited. In 1873 the whole
issue of $5OO greenbacks—about 835,-
Ooo,o<>0 —was withdrawn{and replaced
in the same way. In 1877 a counter
feit $l,OOO note was announced. One
of the oldest engravers in the country
testifies that when a note is so like Un
original that it cannot lie easily de
tected—*as these and other "counter
feits" are said by Treasury officials to
be —k cannot really be a counterfeit,
but must be a genuine note surrepti
tiously printed from genuine plates, or
from secret reproductions of these
plates. In each of the eases named
there is evidence warranting the l>e
lief that these issues have been made
with the connivance of Treasury offi
cials, the spurious notes lieing issued
for campaign funds. The evidence
shows that the facilities for fraudulent
overissues are simply unlimited.
The rejKirt recalls the attempts that
have been made to break up this cor
rupt system, and recites the means by
which they have lieen frustrated by '
the Kepiihiiean heads of Department.
The laws have been either misconstru
ed or overridden, so that the Seen tnry i
of the Treasury and the irresponsible
officers under him have come into
complete control of the issue of the
jieople's currency, and no protection
whatever exists against the circulation
of unlimited amounts of spurious cur
rency at anv moment. The sworn
statement of the custodian of the print
ing plates shows that a single employe
ran nt any time abstract and retain
long enough for reproduction any plate
or roll used for printing U. H. notes or
lsmds. The distinct paper used is
equally liable to abstraction. It can
h taken away in small quantities
without detection, and without the ne
cessity for concert among the pnrties
in charge. That such thefts have
taken place is shown by the fact of
the immense overissues referred to.
Horue of these cases have lain traced
out, as it is shown by the following
summary of proofs in the committee's
posaesssion, as stated in the report:
In 1865 Hank Hall, a noted coun
terfeiter iu New York, hired two plate
printers, named Isuikton, to go to
Washington, get employment in the
Printing Bureau, and there steal cop
ies of every note plate the government
was using. They did steal conies (by
printing on lead sheets instead of pa
per), of several notes, and could have
stolen all had not a quarrel sprung up.
Among these copies were the hacks of
the $2O, $5O and $lOO compound in
terest notes, whose elaborate geometri
cal lathe work engraving was thought
a perfect protection against fraud, and
wus the test among hanks of genuine
ness. They also got the faces of some
of these notes. A largo amount of
thoin, estimated bv some at $750,000,
was put afloat. The government has
redeemed $lB,OOO 7-30 notes, which
wore afterward lu-ld to he counterfeits,
and .Tay Cooke A Co., were made to
refund the money ; hut the committee
that destroyed the plates were by no
means certain that they were counter
feit. The Hii|iorinteudeiit of Plate
Printing in the Bureau testified some
years since, that the plates of the 5-20s
which the Secret Service had captured
were from the genuine bed pieces,
which (or the rolls) must have been
borrowed from the Bureau to make
them.
The $5OO "counterfeit" greenback
of 1873 was inspected by experts and
compared with a genuine note for the
(Ilover committee, and these expert
engravers swore beyond all doubt that
the not*- came from a genuine plate or
from a surreptitious reproduction of
one. The Bureau workman who trans
ferred the plate from the bed piece
agreed with this.
The .SV'ir, in furnishing the synopsis
setting forth the above facts, says:
The committee go no further in sug
gesting the means of reforming this
most dangerous system than to advo
cate a division of the work on govern
ment issues of all kinds, so that one
branch will have a check on another,
while each party being under heavy
bonds will ho interested in seeing the
| law enforced. The evidence however,
i that immense ovcri--ues lmve been
- made with the knowledge of some at
I least of the officers of the government,
and that the hooks of the treasury
show forced balances, the reluctance
of the officers of the government to
show the hooks, and the suspicious co
incidence of expensive election cam
paigns with the discovery of overissue
and so-called counterfeits, show the
need of a more radical reform. Noth
ing short of a complete < liauge in the
personnel of the treasury administra
tion can effect a thorough correction
of these abuse- 1 . So long as the pres
ent head of the tiva-twy department i
in jKjwer, mtrrouiidul by his present
stuff' of employes, familiar with the
corrupt practice of the past twenty
years of Republican administration
ami interested in using these practices
to secure his own elevation to the
Presidency and the continuation of
hi party in power, these practices
may he expected to go on. The entire
treasury service i- honeycoinlMtl with
fraud, and the disclosures now made
only give the facts that can In- clearly
traced out and definitely stated in the
, disgraceful history of Republican mis
, government. The hide und-ck plan
' of book-keeping in ue in the treasury
has hidden many corrupt transactions,
of which only clues and inklings could
le found by the investigators, hut
enough has been shown to thoroughly
alarm the people at the extent of the
peculations and the danger of still
further and more extensive inroads on
the public funds, to humor the greed
or ambition of the men in charge of
their interests.
We give above a general review of
the Congressional rejKirt casting light
into the dark places of the treasury
dejiar! iiH'llt, and disclosing some of its
dark tram-actions. This rejKirt is the
result of long and persevering labor,
pursued in spite ~f every obstacle
placed in the way of the investigators
by those who had good reason to fear
the exposure* to which investigation
was sure to h ad, and the sjK-eifii ation*
sustaining the general charge of cor
ruption and malfeasance are numerous,
A* illustrative of the great public
importance of the subject, the rejwrt
states some facts showing the scope ami
extent of the department's operation* ;
The treasury at Washington con
tain* over thirty bureaus,charged with
important functions ami the oversight
of more than I'J.iHM) employes. The
scope of its powers extends from New
Brunswick to California, from the
Mexican (lulf to the Polar ocean, and
those powers are in their exercise often
1 despotic to a degree that admit* of the
suppression of proof of official miscon
duct. Beside* these thirty old bureaus
nt Washington the treasury detri
ment contain* sub-treasuries at Balti
more, Boston, Chicago, ( iuciunali,
New York, Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco and St. Ism is. It also contains
minps at Philadelphia, Han Francisco,
Carson, Denver and New Orleans;
assay offices at Boise. Charlotte, He|-
Vita and New York ; a chain of custom
houses and custom offices stretching
across the continent from Hast port,
Me., along the frontier* of New Bruns
wick, Canada, Dike Ontario, Huron
and Superior, the frontiers of Mani
toba ami British Columbia, to Port
i Townseiwl on l'ugcnt Sound, Washing
ton Territory, thence northward along
the Pacific const, to the Asiatic sea,
southward to the boundary of Ixiwer
California, eastward and southward
along the frontier of Mexico, south
; ward along the shore* of the (lulf,
southward to Key West, and thence
northeast along the Atlantic coast to
Maine, with an organisation embrac
ing also the interior State* of Illinois,
Indiana, lowa, Kentuckv, Missouri,
Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ten
nessee, Vermont and West Virginia,
with the navy and sjieeial "revenue
marine" fleet of thirty-seven vessels to
enforce the custom lnws —the treasury
hnving charge of building, equipment,
rejiair, purchase and sale of these rev
enoc vessels, and of the examination,
admission and government of cadets
therein —a network of assessors, collec
tors and other Internal Revenue offi
cials reaching over the whole country,
with the U. 8. ariny and the Federal
Courts to uphold them.
These are hut a portion of die sub
jects under the supervision aud coulrol
of the treasury department, which, it
may he readily perceived, is imliiniled
utmost in the extent of it* influence
and it* power to corrupt. It* admin
istration should, therefore, lie as pure
and honest as possible, but the rejsirt
shows that it is, instead, the refuge of
political dishonesty and the hot-bed of
corruption. Its employes at Washing
ton and throughout the country• are
the retainers of the secretary of the
treasury through'whom he wields in
fluence and who are paid for their
party work out of the public treasury,
in this eotmectiou wo have thin speci
fication :
In the Rureau of Kngraving and
Printing it was found that shortly be
fore last year's elections nearly ■'!<)<•
needless employes were put on the pay
rolls. Instead of the bureau costing
about 91.V),0(H) Hie fical year 1878,
as bus been publicly represented, it
really cost tbe government in various
ways over $BOO,OOO.
The cost of the bureau for the six
teen years of its existence is so mixed
in the treasury accounts with other
I matters that it could not be precisely
j ascertained without the labor of a
j number of competent clerks tor many
| months. According to the best at
| tamable information at least S27,fHM),-
j 000 have been spent of it, much of
I which has been wn.ted or stolen. 'Un
report gives a !i*t of expenditure*

to be needles* or fraudulent, as follows:

In explanation of the items tlc.-cri
bed above as "needle-*," the report
•hows that they were the result of alle
ged inventions purchased by the de
partment, of which employes" in the
department were part owners. For
example, the "dry printing" fraud was
au effort to print fractional currency
<>n dry paper by hydrostatic pressure.
In this attempt $3i)O,fXH) were wasted
by a professed inventor, and it now
turns out on inspection of the secret
archives of the I'atent Office that the
then chief of the bureau was part own
er in the worthless patent. The "wa
terproofing" framl wa* a preteoco to
make greenbacks and fractioual cur
rency waterproof by dipping the paper
into a mixture of water, castile soap
and some other ingredicuts. This bath
| had no g>od eflcct, ami the mixture
' est a tout five cents a gallon, while
from 50 to 95 cents was paid for it.
Suite further faets illustrative of
the management of the engraving bu
reau are given in detail:
The printing of bank notes has to-en
taken from the comptroller of the cur
rency, in violation of the law, ami put
into this corrupt bureau. The print
ing of the baek of greenbacks, frac
tional currency ami totals lias been
taken front responsible and skillful
engravers also in disregard and vio
lation of law—and is now all done in
that concern ; and the revised statutes
have been tampered with to make it
seem lawful. This concentration of I
the printing in the bureau has been
condemned as evt rv way wrong by re
pented reports of investigators. It lin
bwn excu*cd by false pretence* of
jcheap work.
September 25, 1877, in response to
advertisements inviting proposals for
printing the black back* on national
itank notes, bids were received from en
gravers and opened were found
to range from 912 t058.94 per 1.000
sheets. Tho chief of the bureau offer
ed to do the work for $8.92, two cents
lower than the least bid, ami the work
| was awarded to the bureau.
An inspection of the bills rendered
i under this arrangement showed that
while the bureau charged $8.02 per
I.IHH) sheet* for the first printing, it
charged $l4 for the. green printing on
the hacks, and $2O tor Uic face*; t>e
ing together $42.02 a 1,000 for the
three printings, instead of $29.70 as
on the basis of this bid it should have
done. The iniriau also obtained, in
violation of law, the printing of the
black hack* of the legal tender* by
putting in au alisurd "bid" of $8.27
|H-r 1,000 impressions. At this rate,
the completed notes should not have
cost over $37.00 a 1,000 sheets; but
the chief admitted that it was $45.79,
and his own figures reveal the fact that
it was slol.lo.
These specimens of profligacy and
plunder in one bureau serve a* exam
plea of the wny in which the other bu
reaus are run, but we must defer fur
ther specification* to another day.
The picture of Republican malfeas
ance presented is n sickening one for
ibo American people to contemplate.

that Uie government interfere* to pro

ndrift several worthy men of years of
j faithful service, unfitted forotiier jitir
suds and almost penniless, recalls the
; advice given to a young applicant for
i office by ToraCorwin, when Secretary of
■ the Treasury. "My young friend,"
*aid I'orwin. "go to the northwest; buy
i one btindred ami sixty acre* of govern
i ment land; or, if you have not the
j money to purchase, squat on it ; get
your ax aa<l mattock, put up a Jog cab
in for your habitation, and raise a little
corn and potatoes j keep your con
science clear, and live like a freeman—
your own ia*ter, with no ooe to give
! you orders, and without dependence
upon anybody, tepected. influential
and rich. Accept a clerk shipper*, and
you will sink at once all indc)>endenoe ;
your energies to-come relaxed, and you
are unfilled in a few year* for any oilier
and more independent place. 1 may
give you a place today nod lurn you
out again to-morrow; and there'sanoth
or man over there at the White House
who can turn me out ; nd so we go.
Rot if you own an acre of land it i*
your kingdom, and your cabin is your
castle. You are a sovereign, and you
will feel it in every throbbing of your
pulse j and every day of your life Will
assure mo of your thank* tor hsving
thus advised you."
The Sun Never Nets on the United Slate*.
, I
I ew people are aware that the proud
boast of the Englishmen that the sun j
never sets on the Rritish Empire is i
equally applicable to the United States. '
Instead of being the western limits of i
the Union. San Francisco is only about
midway between the furthest Alutian ,
Isle, acquired by our pitrchaaeof Alaska,
ami Eastport, Me. <bir territory ex- I
tends through 197 degree* of longitude, i
or 17 degrees more than halfway round I
the gloto. Tilts li'i'ly iliiut,Unn t
ii'nin, in commenting on this fact, soya:
When the sun is giving it* good night
kiss to our westernmost isle, on the
confine* of Behring's sea, it is al
ready flooding the field* and forests of
Maine with its morning light, and in
the eastern part of the Sute i* more
than an hour high. At the very mo
ment when the Alutian fisherman,
warned by the approaching shades of
night, is pulling Ins canoe towards the
shore, the wood obonper of Maine is be
ginning to make the forest echo with
the stirring music of hit axe."
NOTHIRO is lost In Franoe. The or
ange blossoms and grass in the public
gardens of Parts are sold to the highest
bidder, and at a country railroad station
a visitor lately saw a sale of the grass
on the embankment!. The purchasers
were peasants' wives.
