Casoy, for roappointment 28 Collector ‘ot Customs at Now Orleans. This ‘nomipation in s disgrace to the Civil Sorvice. Mr. Casey has boon shown to bo an officious in- tormeddler, snd bas abused bis office by tho ss- sumption of dictatorial powers in rolation to Btato affairs. Inthe fall of 1871, the Fedoral officera ncting undor his lead came noar produc- ing a bloody collislon in New Orleans, and in relation to mstters with which ha had no official relation, Bo disgraceful wero these procoed- ings that the Houso of Ropresentatives ap- pointed a specinl committeo, consisting of Ar. Bcoflold, of Ponnsylvanis, Mr. McCrary, of Tows, Mr. 8mith, of Now York, Mr. Speer, of Ponnsyl- vania, and Mr. Archer, of Maryland, to proceed to Now Orleans, and report tho facts. By the reports of those gentlomon it was shoyn : That, in August, 1871, n Republican Stato Convention waa to bo held in Now Orleans, having no busi- noss oxcopt the” appointment of a contral com- mittoo ; noarly. all the delegations to this Con- vention were ‘contested ; that tho Fodoral offl- cors conspired, in order to have the Convention entisfactory to thom, that their partisans should moot in tho Custom-House ; that forty Doputy United Btatoa Marshals were appointed to keop order, and that thoy obtainod s force of United Btates troops to protect thom, The result was two conventions, and tho appointment of two committees. Tho employment of Federal troops to oarry out tho scheme of packing a party cou- vontion was, of itsclf, an act which should have been followed by tho instant dismissal of tho oflicers, Tho Legtalaturo was to meot on the first of January, 1872, and the imponchmont of Gov. Warmoth was discussed. By impoaching him, Lieut.-Gov. Dunn would becomo Acting-Gov- ornor, But, on Nov. 26, Dunn died, aud tho so- lection of his succossor becamo important. Warmoth convoned tho Sonato in spocial sossion Thirty-four of the thirty-six Senatora twore present, and Pinchbacls, of the Warmoth party, was elocted. The legal- ity of this apecial sosaion was, howavor, disputed, and it was desirablo to have its action confirmed at tho rogular sossion. When tho Logislaturo mot, on Jen. 1, only seventon Honators nt- tonded, fiftoon others, who wora n tho city, ab- gonting thomsclves. Tho Bonntors presont ordored thio Bergeant-at-Arms to compel tho at- tondanco of the absentoos.- Bix of thoso absentecs woro officers in tho Custom-House, and all of thom woro lodged in tho public ofiices, protected by Orsoy from tho vieit of tho Sergeant-at-Arms. Having kopt them thero sevoral days and nights, Colloctor Casoy ordered tho United Btates rove- nue cutter, the Wilderness, to Now Orlosns, and placed the fitteon Senators upon it. The cutter waa provided with storos at tho publio exponso, and enlled down thoriver. Tho Government of- fleora also chartored & stonm-tug to koop up com- munications botweon the Colleotor and the Benators on the vessol,—all this at the public: exponso. They remained on bomd five days, and woro thon landed in the Btato of Misslssippi, and remainod thorountil Jan, 20, Mr, Casoy tostifled that during these ontire proceed- ings ho was in dally correspondenco with tho Govornmont, When asked if ho did not think hie had actod Improperly thus to use the Govern- mont property and monoy to broalk up a quorum of tho Btate Logislature, ho answered that *men ofton mako mistakos,” though Lo justified tho aet, 1t appoars farther in the reports mado by this Committeo that Casey was an intermeddler In other and moro disreputable ways. Wo quoto: Mortimer Oarr, s membor and former Bposker of tho Houso, 88ys Lo wos 0fferod $500 to support a cer- tain bill, and he was undortood to refer to Marshal Packard, but Packard denfea the statemont, If Pack- ard's lifo dopended upou Csrr's tostimony alono, we would pot advise auy jury to conviol.

Aftor tho Philadolphin Convention, {ho Prosidant was onsily provatled upon to lob tho ronlgnation romaln unaccopted until Casoy's timo wasout, It i8 now about to oxpire, and, doupito this most disroputablo and seandalous rocord, the Progldont has ronominatod him.

This is an era of investigations, and tho proposod investigation will bo & good thing if thoroughly prosecutod. An invostign- tion of tho alleged bribery cmployad to pass this bill was had by the Logislaturo in 1869, which wan gonerally votsdto bo a farco, a8 no~ body was found guilty of anything. SBubsoquontly, Mr. A. W. Mack brought sult against ono or moro of tho roilrond compnnios intorested, for hiy “gorvicos” in connection with tho passage of tho bill, Ponding the progressof the eult Macl died, and his roprosontatives discontinucd tho notion. It is to bo hoped, now that the Legislature B takep Liold of tuo corrupt transactions of tho Loglalaturo of 1869, that it will mako ihorongh work of thom, and distributo its favors impar~ tially. Tho followlng aro'some of {ho measurcs which wers bolioved to have beon pansod, or do~ feated, by tho uso of money, and all of them ‘mora or 1oas afillinted with Lako Front : 1. Tho Biate-House appropriation. 2. Location of tho Industrisl Univorsity at Champaign. 8. The 8t. Lonls Bridgo bill. 4, Tho defeat of Fullor's Railrosd Froight bill. . Pnsango of tho bill to classify the Diroctors of railroads. ) 0. 'Tho *Tax-Stenling bill," which wao votoed by Gov. Palmer, aud passod over his velo, Thaso woro the **big thinga ™ upon which tho Iobby fattened during that sosslon, nud against which Goy. Palmer ineffectually opposed bis in- fluonco nnd s veto, Thoro wore o good many smallor onos of tho samo kind. If thoy couid all bo unravelod, thore would bo an exhibit which would make Credit Mobilicr blush, and givo Illi- nois n pro-omingneo ovor Maesachusetts, for which the lattor Stato might bo grataful. It would bo well alno to investigato tho first Lake Front bill that mado its appoaranco in the Legislaturo. Wo rofer to tho bilt to incorpo- rato the Chicago Hatbor & Dock Compony, which sought to grant to said Company tho lako front from tho mouth of Chicago River to Twonty-second streot. "And thoro was a ““Skat~ ing-Park bill” in the samo Logisinture (that of 1867), which proposed to grant to substantially tho samo porties the land whicn might be made, and has sinco beon made, botween Michi- gan avonuo and tho raiirosd tracks—some thirty acresin tho heart of the city. No history of Zake Front will bo completo without thoso, and fho materinls for such history are said to bo essily nccessible. As the proposed com- mitteo sre to st aftor tho Logislature adjourns, they should bo clothod with power to go into all theso thinge and make & cloan job of it. Meanwhile, lot tho Laske Front bill bo ro- pealed, and tho.city rostored to ita natural rights in relation to tho outer harbo GBAiN INBPECTION AND THE BOARD OF , TRADE, Thers aro indications that tho Warchouse Committoes of tho Legislature have boon favor- ably impressed by tho srguments which the Poard of Trado dologation has brought bo- fore them on the subject of grain in~ spection. The necossity for tho modification ot tho Warohouso law in this respoct is practi- cally concodod. Tho quostion ls now as to tho pubstitute for tho prosent system of Stato in- spection, This is ontilled to carnest considora- tion, for it would ba obviously short-sighted and ugoless to reponl the presont provisions of the law and subatituto othors that will in turn prove 'to boinadequete to tho protection of all intoreats concorned, Tho loading sentiment of the Board of Trade is in favor of o rologa- tion of inepoction powers to ihat body. 1t would bo natural to iufor that tho sentiment of tho Board of Trade is that of ita constituents, —tho country grain-dealors, and Fastorn buy- ors,—whoso ageuts are mombors of this Doard, and whosointorestsarodiroctlyreprasonted, thoro cortainly should be no dangor in confiding the inepoction duties to tho Bosrd, whick has & com- mon intorost with Chicago and tho shippers who sond thoir grain to Chicago, The purposo of the Board must matuvally bo to sell tho grain to tho bost advantago, and this ia what tho farmors snd tho country doalors desire. The objections to the Btate systom of grading grain are briofly theso: Tho grades aro intloxi- Dlo, being absolutely fixed by lnw without rofer- ouco to tho different varietios of different crops, sndwith no adequate facilities for selling special consignments on their morits, Tho Inspec- tors aro much more apt to Lo incompe- tont whero thoy are not directly respousiblo to men who aro exporionced in heudling grain snd who would watch tholr actions closoly, Tho inspoction of wheat and barley requires the gorvicos of exports, and, oven thon, tho Inspoc- tora shiould comno under the suporvigion of those who ‘sro oqually capablo of Judging whethor thoso oxporta are doing thelr duty or not. Un- dor tho Btato systom of inspaction, thero is prac- tleally no appeal from the local inspection. ‘Flio 1ast rosort is in the Commissionors, who are located at Springfleld, and it would bo an ox- ponelve process to hold car-load of grain until those Commissionors could comoe up to Chieago, or could bo hoard from. In othor words, the in- spection of grain In Chicago is dono at Spring- flold,—a procoss which cannot fail, and has not failed, to work scrious injury to the shipping in- torost, It is claimed, and with good roason, that tho DBoard of Trado can do tho grain-inspocting of thla city in & mauner to avold the objoctionable featuros of tho prosent systom. Thoir gradiug of wheat would uot bo subject to s perpotual aud invarioblo rulo, but would bo founded on tho charactorlatica of tho diforeut crops, and modi- flod according to tho domands of tho weason. Tho grades would bo based upou compotent ovi- deneo, notusl contact with the shipping Inter- osts, and constant exporionco with the. chauges that .are always ocowrlug, In the pumorous daily caaey whoro It 18 Just and nocosaary to diss “trados-union will eriminsto In npecinl consignments, thoro would 1o n committoo of referonco to oxamnino at onco Into tho mority and come to au immodinto con- cluafon. Tho Inapootornwould then bo acconnt- ablo to mon {horoughly oonvorusnt *with grain Inspootion, and nolthor jguorance nor negleot would oeeapo tho nttontion of thono who would be primarily Intereatod in seouring fal in- #pootion, It would bo difiicult for the Board of T¥ada Lo forn o combination againat tho ship- pors, under tho remalning provisiona of tho Railroad und Watolioueo faw, it it wore inclinod todogo. Itis nlao n body, mado up of varions agonla roprosouting various intorests, which would sot ns & chieck upon ono snother. 'Tho succoss of tho Bonrd depends upon rotaining tho ouatom of tho country shippers and satisfying tho Tastorn bugera. It would bo simply sucldal to drivo off eithor clasy by inspoction that was not fair, Thoso aro the principal arguments upon which Is based tho proposition that grain inspootion sball b takon out of tho handa of tho Railroad ond Warchonso Commissionors and given ovor to tho Board of Trade, The gonoral auparvia- fon of tho warchouso system would still romnin in tho hands of tho Commisslonors, whono powers would bo unimpaired for mnking tho warohiousos conform to the rules and regulations provided by tho Inw. This is another pharo of tho questton which doos not seem to hieve had the connidoration which it deserves. Grain n- apoction affocts whent and barloy moro than all othor grajng, as tho inspecting of thono ro- quiron technical knowledgoe nnd nicoty of dis- tinction thet can only bo acquired through long oxporionce, which 18 not truo in regard to corn. ‘Tho grent whont-growing Btates sxo Ainncsota, Town, and Wieconnin, which look upon Chicago na their propor outlot. Tho State .of Ilinois contributes but an Insignificant portion of tho wheat that-comes to this markot. Practically, thon, the Stato of Illinois sots up s Commission, with hendquarters at Springfleld, and governod by inflexible rules, to Inspeet and classify the proporty of ofhor States, Thorols certainly no justice in this, It cannot bo argued that thorowould bo the samo objection if tho Chi- cagoBoardof Trado should act in tho capacity of grain-fnspector histondof tho State Commission. Tho Board of Trade in composcd of the chosen agonts of tho citizons of Minnonota, Tows, and Wisconsin, who sand thoir grain to Ohieago, and they could demnnd nothing falror thau to have tho atatus of thelr property fixed by tho mon wliom they employ to represent thom. Tne TriouNe has froquently indiested the dangors that await the Chicago grain trado on nccount of tho present arbitrary system of inspection. Tho mattor haa now beon brought boforo the Logislature in a shape that de- mands setion befor the adjournment, - Itis un- necossary thet this change ehould provoke a dis- cuastou rolating to the abolition of tho Doard of Railrozd and Warchouso Commissioners, Thore will bo cnough for thain to do after they shall lavo, beon rolioved of the inspection dutice which do not proparly come undor their adminis- tratlon, If tho Logialaturo will pass a Railroad bill, aftor tho modol of Mr. Hildrup's latestprop- osition, under which tho Commission moy rendor itgelf valunblo. Even tho careful and laborious preparation of velueblo statistics, at which somo mowmbers were inclined to sneor, would justity tho maintainonce of tho Doard. But it is cortaln that tho intorosts of Chicago, and tho intorosts of the whoat-growing States which tho Illinois Governmont has undortalen to control, domand that the inspoction systom should be placed In tlio hands of mon who will mnko it conform to the domands of the grafu- trade, both buyers and sollors. BERVANTS' TRADEJ-UNIORS. Tho servant-girl question, which has token a protean varioty of forms, distrossing to house- Loopers, has st last culminated in & concorted offort, which, it it sproads to any considerable extont, will bo caleulated to fill tho lunctio asyluma with tho hoada of fomilios. Hithorto tho attacks of tho servant-girl have boon con- finod to rather potty annoyances. A favorite stratagom to got evon with Matorfamilizs hng boon tho establishment of a relief socioty In the kitohen, from which the sugar, tea, coffeo, soap, and othor articles of domestic consump- tion havo been lavishly disbursed, without vouchors, to & small army of cousine and other distant relatives. Now and then tho servant-girl has insugurated such a reign of torrorin tho houschold that sho haw been enabled {o pro-empt the piauo Sunday af- tornoons, givo soirecs in tho dining-room, al- tornate with hor mistrees in tho uso of jowelry and drogsos, and provent tho furthor multipli- cation of the family by hor unreasonablo proju- dicos ngainst small childron. Anothor favorito form of offecting tho subjugation of the em- ployer is to give tho latter notico to quit at o cortain timo, if such littlo domeuds ns sho choosoes to mako aro not comp]lmi with.

Tho position which Mr. Hoar assumos in thiy mattor is entirely un- tonabla. ¥fo says thatho does not belleve himself entitled to auy gratitudo for tho donation, and this, togothor with the fact that Lo gives away tho prociso nmount of tho surplus snlory, indicates that ho doos not beliove it to have boen xight.for Congress to doploto the Treagury in order to pay an exorbitant price for worl that hind boon done by contract at a lower rate, DBut, if Mr. ITonr docs not beliovo this to Linve boen right, he is not entitled to tho money. 1If not entitled to tho monoy, hio had no right to givo it away, According to his own conviction, ” the Unitod Btntos Govornment hias been wrong- fully defrsuded of overy dollar of incroased salarios which Congressmon voted thomselves for two yenirs that aro passed.

Tho decision of the Supromo Court of this State, that tho bonds issmed by towns mnd countios an an inducemont for the location of public buildings and institutions aro void, was made ' tho caso of the subseription by Livings- ton County in aid of {ho construction of the' Btato Roform Cchool at Pontine. In 1871, the Supervisors of that county instructed tho Connty Troasurer to pay no moro intorest on tho bonds ; at tho samo time tho question was submitted to tho people whothor tho Trensurer should con- tinuo to pay tho interest, and a largo majority of the votors wera in the negativo, Tho Trensuror buving rofused to pry tho intorest, tho caso was takon to the Supreme Cowrt, aud has thero Leon decided as stated.

A bill recontly passed the Michigan Senato which is creating conoldorable oxcitoment among the Roman Catholics of that Stato, as intorfering with tho prerogatives of tho Church, Tho bill propoaes action vory similar to that recoutly nosumod by Bismerck in Prussin.

Tho blll,— which, wo boliove, Ling not yot becomo a law,—is mocting with very dotermined opposition from ono body of Catholics, as thoy contend that it is an offort to reduco tho Church to comploto sub- joction to tho Stato.

Mr. Bogy announced that ho should .doclino: to vote on any question affecting the atatus of any other member of tho body until his own had beon cloarly established. Ho also toolk another view which has not ocourrod to tho Celdwolls, Pomeroys, Harlans, Olaytons, sud Spencors, ITo concolved that the charge thab hig oloction liad beon soourod by brikory was an imputation upon the fairfamo of his Stato, a8 well a8 himsolf, nnd domandod a full investigation on that account. Thore were two logislative invos- tigationa into Senator Bogy's election in Mis- sour], which produced no ovidenco that ho hiad resorted to bribory, and his oxcoptionally fair attitudo in seking an invostigation at the hands of tho Senate lonvos tho impreasion that ho is not to bo classed with Pomoroy and Caldwoll, nor ovan with Jones and Pattorson. Tho Hon, A. K.

Such a declaration _morits prominent notice. When succossful men in politics, ns Mr, McCluro has been, can boldly tako this stand, it marks a now departuro in the sentimont of tho country. Tho progress of thie santimont among the politicians must noces~ aarily bo slow, but it will advance in proportion ns the peoplo assert their superiority to perty projudices and traditions, or, in othor words, as they refuse to bow their licads to the dictates of the caucus.
