New YORK STATE has a man who still'
uses the old red three cent postage stamps. It
appears to be a strange fancy Indeed, but it is
stranger still how he manages to procure them,
as they have been out of date eo long and it is
not usual for a man to buy enough stamps at
onetime to last several years. The only thing
that saves him from the suspicion of having
years ago robbed a postoflice is that, when red
postage stamps were fashionable, he was a
member of the New York Legislature. It is
• said he had so many more stamps than he
could carry home from Albany that he stuck
a lot of them on his tailor for a new suit of
clothes. The villainy of some men is even
stamped upon their letters.
Tun Custom House investigation at New
York still drags Its slow length along, lut
hose persons who expected to find the Grand
administration convicted of gross corruption
do not get much comfort. The evidence clear
ly shows that there has been a good deal of
wickedness and rottenness in the New York
custom house management, but there has pro
bably been no time within the last _twenty
years when an equally thorough investigation
would not have revealed substantially the same
condition of affairs. But while Gen. Gran
cannot be held responsible for these abuses
which have been gradually growing and
strengthening he can take this opportunity to
change the management of custom house mat
ters, and the sooner he does that the better it
will he forlimself, his party and the couniry.
The custom house at New York, and all gov
ernment affairs as well, ought to be managed
on business principles, and there ought to be
a speedy and permanent end put to the man
agement of custom houses in the interest of
scheming and ambitions politicians without
reference to the needs of business men or the
welfare of the country.
PRESIDENTIAL MATTEIIs
The Connecticut Democrats have really tak
en a new departure, and they will make the
campaign in that State a warm and elosn one
Tiey have put an entirely new ticket in nom
illation for State officers, and they hay.. s •
lected about the wealthiest men they voi.
find as their candidates. The matter o
wealth is of course no objection to the gentle•
men whocoMpose the ticket, but when an en
tire ticket is composed of " heavy men" many
people will suppose that the candidates will
be expected to "come down" hand_oniely in
support of the cause. It is only fair to say
that both parties in Connecticut usually spend
considerable money in their political cam
paigns, and judging from the make up of the
Democratic ticket, this year will not prove an
exception. What we had In mind In speak
ing of the Democratic new departure in Con
necticut was the noticeable fact that the eon
'nation declared Its willingness to come over
to Republicanism during the next presiden
tial campaign for. the sake of success. The
Connecticut Democrats have always most
strenuously opposed equal suffrage and ,all
matters connected therewith, but now they
swallow everything that has been accomplish
ed by the Republican party during the last ten
years and smile as cheerfully about it as though
they bad always believed in constitutional
amendments and equal suffrage. The con,
vention even went so far as to declare through
its chairman its willingness to support Sena
tor Trumbull for President,and the resolutions
of the Reform Republicans in Missouri were
almost literally adopted. It is more and more
manifest that the Democ;atic leaders have got
ten tired of being regularly defeated in nation
al politics and that they are willing to do al
most any thing which will insure them sue
, cots in 1872. The leaders are undoubtedly
willing to vote for Senator Trumbull or any
body else in opposition to General Grant, and
they arc evidentlyworking hard to get the party
prepared to transfer its allegiance. As mat
ters look today the nomination of Den. Grant
at Philadelphia will result in the Democrat,:
nominating a Republican if they cm find one
who will servo as a candidate, but there Is no
telling how often or how much the political
kaleidoscope will be changed between this
time and June. There is one consola.
tion about the present prospect, however,
and that is that if General Grant is re :
nominated at Philadelphia and the Democrats
undertake to defeat him they have got to bring
forwar I a first class man and a good Republi
can as well. And with Gen. Grant and an
other good Republican in the field we are sure
Of having a Republican President- at all

For the past few'wecks the Auditors of the
County of Lehigh have been engaged in cr..
QM
ambling the accounts of the county. Among
other things Which came under the inspection
of these gentlemen were the vouchers for in
terest paid on the County Ronde. The BOard
Of Auditors Is composed of honest men who
arc not versed in the ways of Tammany. The
fact Is, they, like a good many more of the
honest men who vote the Democratic ticket,
were led to believe that their patty managed
the affairs of our county In the most correct
and honest manner. They d;il not, therefore,
see the harm in figuring a' little backwards.
We have not been able to get at the correct
figures, but we have them very nearly correct,
near enough for all practical purposes for en
lightening the people upon the subject of how
their finance e have been managed. The
vouchers for Interest paid out amounted to
about $20,000. Now by a little calculation it
is not hard to believe that $20,000 is the inter
est of over $333,000. But the debt is reported
at about $230,000. And Immediately the
Auditors see that Satan himself IA to pay. The
Auditors are honest; they neversuspected but
that the amounts on the books of the Commis-
Blotters were fair and square, and having dis
covered otherwise and their consciences not al
lowing than to keep the facts to themselves,
their perturhation,their concern for the party,
may be better imagined than described. They
have the Interest of the Democratic party at
heart ns much as ally other ton or set of men,
and we can assure their leaders that they were
never more Innocent of unearthing anything
wrong in the Democratic . manngement of our
county (Lira lI'S than when they commenced
that little figuring on thei • own account.
Therefore, should the people of Lehigh county
rise Above the prejudices that have kept the
Ring iu power in the Court .louse ; should
they, next Fall, resolve that a new set of men,
of Republicau principles, shall henceforth
manage the finances of the county, we hope
these Auditors will not be held accountable for
the injury they have worked the Young
Tammany of Lehigh county. Gentlemen of
the Court Douse Ring—you should have tak
en ❑te Auditors of the County into your se
crets. You should have told them that there
were many ugly things in the management of
your affairs that it was necessary to keel. front
the people, prominent among which was your
representation in the County Statement that
the debt was only 1it2,30,000, when it actually
was EIGRI TIIOI.7iAND DOLLARS
MORE. You should have told them nil this'
and also that party considerations came first
and conscience ..fterwards, and that In order to
save the great Democratic party they must
take things as they found them and must not
ask too many questions.
Raving discovered this immense old'. renze
between the supposed and actual debt of the
county we don't think makes thepeople o.f the county any poorer than they were a year ago.
They have been paying the interest on $330,-
000, when they thought they owed only V950,-
000.
,That is all. But dots it not show cu,L.
pubic carelessness, or gross inemnp,tency, or
a design to mislead the people in regard to the
corruption of those in authority ? Whichever
it is, is the odium not sufficient to hurl the
party from power ? If gentlemen take n front
the ranks of the people, gentlemen who are
not experts either in the science or book keep
ing or figures, can, by a few harmless calcula
tions, discover a dacieney of $BO,OOO, what
might not be divulged Hour comity accounts
were placed in the hands of persons compe.
tent and willing to give them a thorough in
vestigation ?
We know the public mind has been so used
to reports of heavy private defalcations and of
the startling accounts of the plundering of old
Tammany leaders, that it is not likely to be
greatly disturbed When it is published that a
deficiency of only $BO,OOO has been discovered,
but does not our safety demand that the in
competency, or Whaley. r worse, ii. may Is.,
which has ruled in this county so long, should •
come to an end ? A thorMigh investigation
should be demanded. uot only . of last year's
accounts but ,4 the accounts for . the past ten
years. Let the whole ground le• gone over,
and we believe it will be found that there ie

DEATH OF SENATOR EV t NS

Chester Village Record, and one of the sitting
member 3 of the State Senate, elected in 1870
to represcnt Delaware, Chester, and Mont
gomery counties, cited at his residence, in
West Chester, on Friday night, at 0 o'clock,
after au illness of more than it week's dune
lion. His desease was pneumonia.
Mr. Evans for many years leas occupied the
position of one of the leading , editors of the
State, his paper, the Village Record, leaving a
larger circulation than any (ether country pa
per. His death will create a keeling of sad
ness among his constituents, Icy whom he was
regarded with feelings of the greatest esteem
It will be remembered that his nomination
In 1870 created so much apathy among the
Republicans of M,mtgomery that they failed
to do any work worth spcalting of in the Con
gressional contest of that year, though that
was not owing to any lack of vacem for Mr.
Evans, but was caused by Montgomery being
deprived of the nomination, when she was
clearly entitled to it.
M. Evans' death again causes a tie between
the political parties in the Senate. The vu.
cancy will be filled in due time by a special
election. As Mr. Evans was a conscientious,
incorruptible Senator—always at the head
of any reform movement—his death cannot
be regarded as other than a public calamity.
TuE ALABAMA CLUINIS
Moneure Conway, writing to the Cin
cinnati Commercial upon the subject of the
Alabama Claims, after giving a review of the
feeling of the British public ; and their oppo
sition to the payment of " two hundred pounds
sterling," says
It is well enough for the American people
in the discussion which will probably soon be
upon th, to rutnember not only the wrongs
they have suffered, or their technical rights,
hut also the facts which may tend to superin
duce moderation. .The English people are to
pay what money may be awarded Americans
at Geneva ; it is to fall most heavily, not On
Lord Pahnerston nor Lord Russell, nor tin
the Messrs. Lain?, who built the Alabammbut
on the toiling masses, to whom a small tax Is
cruel, and who were, and are, unanhnous - in
their love of America,
and in their detestation
of the, course of their Government during the
war. Compelled to make these fast friends
suffer for the sins of a dead Premier, who was
their and our common ,enemy, it becomes a
question whether wo may not press the charge
of " conscious unfriendly purpose" too far,—
beyond what thecommon sense and sentiment
of mankind will justify. The masses of this
country are, and have always been, ardent
friends of America. The great majority of
the English people who. are now, perforce,
defendants at Geneva, put themselves in that
position by forcing Parliament to come to
some kind of honorable settlement about "that
accursed Alabams," as they generally call it.
It would be a pity if the cm claimed should
be such as the world would regard as unjust
or leave an Impression that greediness takes
the place or magnanimity under American in
stitutions.
THE LEHIGH REGISTER. ALLENT
AN INFAMOUS TRANSACTION.
The conspiracy of which Thomas C. Fit his,
one of the Tammany leaders,is charged is ono
of the most audacious on record. In the win
ter of 1868, Fields, then Corporation Counsel,
met Michael J. Quiggs and another fireman of
Harlem, when Fields promised, for a large
commission, to have a bill posse I through the
Legislature appropriatinri money to pay the
volunteer firemen of every eompany located
above Fifty-ninth street, for s-rvicesreirlered
from Oebiber 1, 1865, to January 1, 1868, the
time the paid department went Into operation.
Meetings were 'called in pursuance of this pre
ject, and the idea , being paid lir sore ices
rendered without any expectation of compen
anion, elicited the greatest enthusiasm among
the firemen and they were glad to sign the
warrants authorizing Mr. Fields to draw their
t of the spoils and willingly allowed him
nornaeus Commission of thirty•ihree per
for his services.
ehere
the et
cent.
The measure was run through the Legisia.
tore and Controller Connolly Was authorized
to pay $50,000 to the firemen. About October
30, 1800, Mr. Connolly paid Fields $49,277.34,
the amount of t h e. assignments the latter held,
which he paid over to the firemen, deducting
the thirty-three per cent. for his commissions
in every ease, except where the political InO b
mice of an individual was valuable an 1 desi
rable to have.
Once having had a taste of plunder the np•
petites . of the liremr n craved for more, and
Tom Fields was employed to get it for them.
But this time Fields demanded fifty per cent.,
and it was not until the firemen were assured
that it was a very expensive job that they con-,
oiled to haul their assignments over to
Fields and pay the extra commission. Ev
erything being serene FieldS went to Albany
and on the oth of June, 1870, prevailed upon
the Legislature to pass a bill authorizing the
Controller " to pay the balance of claims
which had been found due" under the act of
1869. This " balance," according to the.Trl
bune's version of the affair, undoubtedly
referred to the $722 66 remaining from the
$50,000 appropriated in 1869 ; but Mr. Fields,
in having the wording of the act fruned to
suit his purposes', interpreted it as giving the
Controller power to pay whatever amounts he
should deem just. As a consequence, the
Coot roller paid Thos. C. Fields, assignee, on
J une 3, 1870, $:10,907 97, one-half of which
amounts, with b w exe.ptions, were retained I
by Fields, and the baianee paid over to the ,
members of the Association, to be divided up
as before. In this public manner, and with
no attempt at seer cy, a conspiracy was en
tered into between 'rhos. C. Fields, Assent-
I blyman, and certain firemen of New York
whereby over $500,010 was stolen fr tm t' e
Treasury. Th substance of these facts wait
sworn to before the Grand Jury, and upon
this evidence of freed Fi Ids is held to bail
for trial and prosecuted on civil snits to recover
the stolen money.
Fields in his garrulims moments has said
that lie :node $150,000 by the operation.
There is not nnr•h doubt that the List ill ul is
true. At other I 111 , 9 he . , 110,1 rtiat he li m

MT The Tribune from publishing the firemen'
list, and $50,000 get the bills through
Legislature. Whatever the truth may this
fact is patent, that Mr. Thomas C. Fields eon.
trived to delrm 1 the City of New York,
succeeded in accomplishing his object to the
extent of more l ban $500,000.

In their condemnation of his efforts "to defeat

and then, W hen defeated, to use all the strata•

ture or Pr nnsylvania likes Col. Gray very well
and we think the members will retain him in
the trotherhood. Had they not known Alex

After the destruction of the ballot boxes in
the Gth division of the XlXth Ward by the
McClure roughs, where Gray had n clenr ma
jority, it is not very consistent in McClure to
cry out about frauds.'
THE attacks by Republican journals upon
the New York Tribune, because it does not
desire the re• n omination of President Grant,
are unjustifiable. Before the nomination
everybody has a right to a preference and may
express that preference without showing any
disloyalty to the party. It would tie lament
able indeed it cacti one could not labor to im
pr'ove the char. cter of our public ()dicers w ith
out going of the party. The Tribune has
as touch right to Oppose President Grant's re
nomination as the thutomcLE or any other
paper has to advocate him for a second term,
and we think the right ought to be granted
without subjecting that paper to vile abuse and
gross misrepresentation. 'We have no fears of
ever losing the Tril une's influence for the sue.
cess of the Republe in party. The Tribune
knows too well that only under the Republi
can party can we have equal justice to all men,
and, what is almost as Important, Protection
to American Indmary, and it will not be likely
to throw its Influence against the party that
will guarantee these things. We, among the
other admirers of the l'resident, must deeply
regret that the Tribune does not see as we see,
but we cannot help giving the met credit for
honesty of purpose.

Mommv, Feb. s.—On the expiration of the

After soul, r. intuits from Messrs. Wilson,

Carpenter engaged in a shar,t, though at

by both eliciting laughter on the floor and in
the galleries. At the hour ofadjournment nn
action bad been reached. Mr. Randall in the
House moved and had passed a bill relieving
political disabilities from several classes of
persons on condition that they take the oath
of allegiance to the United States. The re•
outbid( r of the session was nearly wholly
wasted on a question of drawing seats.
TUESDAY, Feb. o,—Both houses of Congress
held lengthy sessions. In the Senate most of
the day was consumed by Mr. Ednfunds, who
delivered a speech in offering a resolution
calling upon the. President for whatever in•
formation he Might hale relative to the m
otored rt pod Minot by Great Britain of the
Treaty.of Washington. Ile said it Was ex
tromely desirable that some information should
lie had on this subject. He then reviewed at
considerable length the whole cause of our
difficulties with Great Britain, alluding to the
speech of Mr. Cobden in the English Parlia
ment informing that body of what responsibil
ities they were assuming in permitting the
cruisers, which afterwards preyed on our
commerce, to escape. Mc ssrs. Trumbull,
Cameron, and others delivered short remarks,
hoping that the resolution would not be acted
on until the contents of the Queen's speech
was known. The last-named Senator, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Committee
stated that so lar as lie knew neither the Pres
ident nor Secretary of State had any infor
mation relative to the rumor of the withdrawal
-of Great Britain. At the close of Mr. Ed

the amnesty bill coming up, but not being
acted upon. In the House' the consideration
of the bill to establish an educational fund,
and apply the proceeds to the education of the
people, was restum d. Messrs. Perce, Fink

took part In the debate. Messrs. Blair, Coburn,

FRIDAY, FEn. 9.—The Senate has come to
a vote on the amnesty subject. The closing
hours of the discussion were marked with
sharp and interesting addresses from both the
the friends of the bill and its opponents. On
the supplementary civil-rights amendments,
in particular, the discussion took awhile range
nearly every member having something to
say concerning it. The pending question, on
the taking up of the bill, was in - substituting
the word " citixen" for" person ;" but on this
the remarks were short, it being soon after
the discussion opened. On- the amendment
itself, however, a long time was spent by
Messrs, Edmunds, Sawyer, Norton, Blair,
Scott, Sumner, and others, the final result
being its adoption. The vote was a tie, but
the Vice President cast in favor of the measure.
Immediately after the debate on the bill itself
wee resumed with warmth until the vote was
taken. The rest It was its rejection, two
tliirds not voting in the affirmative. The
Senate also spent considerable time on the
resolution asking the President to communi
cate any information In his possession in refer
ence to the alleged intentions of Great Britain
to repudiate the Treaty of Washington. No
action was taken. Tile house session was
taken up with the passing of several minor
resolutions, chief among which was one in
structing the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds to inquire into the propriety of
having a Governinent building erected in
Philadelphia for the Post Office and United
States courts.

years, applied for the place, and, giving an
swers as to her willingness and capacity to
work which were satisfactory to Mrs. iz himm,
she was employed. Maggie attended to her

Klemm at once took measures to give her sim
ple home treatment for the pains complained
of, and untinued to do so until they increased
so alarmingly that she thought it necessary
to send hr a doctor. She told Maggie that she
would send for a doctor.
The latter said that Dr. Ginkinger, living
at 629 Poplar street, had "anew' ed her before
and she owed him•money then, and she would
rather have him, titan anybody else." Dr.
Ginkinger was sent for, hut he not being at
home, other physicians were called on, until
Dr. Lemuel J. Deal arrived and prescribed
some simple remedy for 'pains. Later in the

put up at a neighboring drug store of Dr.
Stevenson, Twelfth and Callow hill streets.
The prescription ordered contained such
large amount of morphia that it attracted tire
druggist's attention, and be looked at the writ
ing a good while, and then look the precaution
to ask if the patient for whom the medicine
was wanted was in great pain.
Upon bein,t answf red in the affirmative, he
put up the prescription as ordered. Ile states
that It was an unusually large dose, to be re

even larger doses to be given, but less he

the patient through the night as directed by
the doctor. Maggie suffered great pains in
her stomach until noon yesterday, when she
became partially unconscious, and died about

Yesterday Mrs. Klemm, becoming alarmed,
asked Maggie if she had any friends whvm she
would like to see, and the sufferer mentioned
the name and residence ofJennie Fleming,4o9
