Uhe Chitags Tribune. ‘Wednoaday Morning, April 8, 1874. ¢ No liconso ” ia the dacision of the Waukegan Council on the saloon-question. ‘Evon in Moxico an outrago like that cnmm_.lvud by the Catholics upon the American missionary Btovens cannot escape punishment. The priest who prompted the murder is on trial for his life, and six of the mob that did the work have ‘boen condemned to doath, Two balle®s for Benator wore taken by the Massachusetts Logislaturo yosterdsy with tho usual result of no result. Dawes, Hoar, and Curtis maintain their now almost vonerable posi- tions, and the Whittier battalion of one stands unbroken, - The oxamination of Sanborn by the Waya and. Means Committeo was continued yestorday. Tho witness atirmed that Mr, Butler hed acted 18 his counsollor and advisor throughout, It will be romombored that Mr. Butler positively ssaured the Committeo, soveral days ago, that oo such relationship betwoou himeelf and San- born had ever existod. LA triflo of 950,000,000 or $60,000,000 is the estimato put on tho cost of the proposed James River & Kanawha Canal by tho Board of Euginoers who bavo been examining ite route. One of the incidents of the enterpriso is to be s tunnel through tho mountains about the longth of the Mont Cenis Tunnel under the Alps. The . construction of tho canal would take about six years, Itsmerite as a channel of chosp trans- portation for Western products the engineers oconsider extraordinary. ' Forestalling tho presontation of their case to the Hoyge Judiciary Committeo tho representa- tives of ‘‘the party" in South Carolina have ot au expression of opinion from the President. Ho told thoir ‘dologation yostorday that their statomonts wore o ‘*‘ complote answer” to the charges of the Tax-payers’ Convention., The President is determined not to allow any good opinion of him to get abroad by mccident. Ho disclaims the remark, for, which so much credit was given him, concerning tho misgovernment of Louisiana. Ho did not sayit was misgav- erned, and probably has no misgivinga on the subjact. ‘Wo ropublish this morning an article from Inst evening’s Journal, in which the failure of the Common Council to approve the Lake-Front sale is attributed to tho refusel of tho railroads to pay eight Aldermon tho $25,000 which thoy wanted for their votes. That eight Alder- men might be found in the present Council who would well their voles is plausible in the extrome. But the lofty figure at which they are sa1d to have rated them- selves clothes the Journal's utory with tho un- realily of an Oriental romance, Aldermen, even in Chicago, aro cheaper, much cheaper, than oight for $25,000. There was no vote in the House of Reprosont~ stives yestorday on the curroncy question. Tho endless chinin of dobate took s fow addi- tional turne and the Houso adjourned. Mr. Eldridgo roiterated bhis provious statemonts that the Bupreme Court had been packed to get the decision sflirming tho validity of tho Logal- Tender met. E. Rockwood Hoar, who was the President's adviser in tho soloction of Judges Strong and Bradley, replied vehomently that they had been chogen for their fitnces, and with- out knowledge of their opinions on the subject. He stigmatized Mr, Eldridge’s charge ns a slan- der, What recoption the Sonato bill will have In the Houso cannot be foretold till noxt Tues- day, bofore which time it caunot come up. Both Jayne ‘and Sanborn spont for counsel foes, information, and other purposes, an enor- mous proportion of the moneys thoy recovered. Tho disbursements of the Iattor amounted to 76 per cent of his recoipts, or{$160,000 out of $210,- 000. There are enough suspiclous ciroum- atances in the apparent iguorance of high officials, the. zeal of Congressinen, sud the ease with which Sanborn accured all the aid from tho Devartments he needed or wanted, to make it o matter of public concern how Sanborn spent this $100,000, This was tho point to which the ‘Ways and Means Committoo devoted thomsalves yesterday, without much succoss. The question was finally put into writing asking for overy do- tail of the expenditure, and Banborn will answer it Thureday wmornin, The Chicago produco markets were generally firmor yestorday, with a good domund for both broudstufts and provisions, Moeas pork was se- tive and irrogularly higher, closing at 816,60@ 10.55 cash, and $16.65@16.07)4 sollor May, Lard was activo and So per 100 Ibs highor, closmg at §0.06@9.073¢ cash, and $0.07}4@0.70 sollor Mny.

Blicop, woro firm, Tho result of yostorday's elections in the North, South, and West Towns of Chicago, givon olsowhors, can be of vory little inteveat to the tax-payors and rospectablo cltizens, sinco they did not turn out to voto in any considorable number, The oloction in- tho'South Town waa Iudicrous on account of its onc-sided oharactor. Mr. Miko Evans votod his pooplo protty much to eult himsclf, snd the oppo-’ sition ticket will scarcoly bo ablo to recog- nizo - itsolf in the roturns. Thore was only one man on Mr. Mike Evane’ ticket whom Bridgoport could not swallow. This wes the candidate for Constable and a colorod man, As a mattor of course, ho was dofested, and his op- ponont, an Irishman, clected. If the negrocs desire to train with the Bridgeport troops, thoy must cultivate tho propertics of the chameleon and loarn to chnnge their -color, Tho whole affair is fusignificant in viowof the recont chiango in tho law, which doprives the Town Boards of tholr furmer opportunities for robbing the peoplo, If good bouds ean bo socurad from tho varfous Collectors, it isn’t a matter of much congequence who they are, Porhaps the rosult in tho South Division may teach tha Iocal Ropublican managors, howover, that it ien't #afo to put forth a party ticket under any cir- cumstancos. But wg have had a good many cvidences of this in rocent clootions,—so many, in fact, that the thing is bocoming self-evident. THE APRIL ELECTIONS, ‘The local eloctions of Monday seom to have callod out & very Jargo vote. In Connooctiout, wheroe thero was an cloction for Btate officers, | and for a Logislaturo that will soon elact o Sena- tor of the United Btates, the Domocratic party —inciudiog all tho eloments opposed to the Re- publicana—comploted the victory bogun last year, and swept the wholo Stato by an increased mejority. Thoy have au overwhelming majority in both branches of the Logislaturo, and will elect a Bonator in place of Mr. Buckingham, whoso term will expire in March next. There were local elections in all the cities and towne of Ohio. In mostof those the liquor quostion was involved. Tho result was a gon- eral defost of the Republicans whorever there was & party conteat, and in tho largor towns and cities o dofent of the tomporance candidates. In Iitinois, Towa, aud Michigan, the samo general ro- sultattonded thoolections. The Ropublican party waa disastrously boaton in nearly all places whero it mado a party issuo, or whore it united with temporauco pooplo. It appears prottly evident, from the resultof the eloctions in Ohio, that tho entire German population snd s very large portion of the nn~ tive voto who sympathize with thom have aban- doned the Ropublican party forever. It has been buta vory fow yonrs since overy clty in Ohio,. without exception, had s Republican Govern- ment. To-day, the Ropublicans have not con- trol of one of tho cities. Cloveland and Dayton havo outdono even Cincinnatiin their majorities against the Ropublican party. Tho eame may bo ssid to have ocourred in Michi- gan, Illinois, Wisconrin, Iows, and Minnecsota, The Ropublican sscondancy in these States ‘has for soveral years been maintained by this voto, which is now lost to it, aud moat likely lost forever. This voto controls the three Congres- slonal and scven Sonatorial Districts of this county, aud half-n-dozen othor Congressional Districts in tho State. Tho disaffeotion, how- ever, is not confined to the Gormoua, There has been 8o much cant and hypocrisy, and such an abuso of Christian and roligious names and ob- jects to hido confessed and notorious frauds and villainy, that thousands of porsons everywhero bavoe rosalved to cut loose from the partyand act indopendently. Tho slliance attompted in Ohlo and other places botween the Republicans and the beer-keg smashers proved a lnmentable failure, ond saloon-praying has been voted down at the ballot-box. The general losson taught by the April elec- tions is that tho Ropublican party has rocetved a premonitory strake of the gencral paralysin that it will oxperienco in Novembor, 1874, Its discom- fituro is inovitable. It iu stripped of the allies by whom it has boon kept in power. It is aban- doned—as in Connccticut—by the disgusted | poaple, who have tired of its corruptions, Itis left to its fato by every man who fools the rigor of taxation and the extortion of the plunderors, and its ond will bo sccomplished in the fall by tho groat body of the agriculturists, But thovio- tors must have some cohesion and organization tocarry out the reforms souglht in the change. Something moro is wanted than the mere substi- tution of one set of ofliceholders for another. That, howover, is a question for the future; for the prosent nll that is necessary ia an union at the polls to break up the old parties, to take from them the means of corruption, and when this is dona to.organize for the future, Very likely tha results of the elections in Connecticut and New Hompshire will inspire the Demacracy with tho iden that they can earry the country with their old organization. This will be amistake. The TRepublican party has grown so rotten that tho peoplo for the moment turn to anything else an an escape from it. But such o feeling is not to Do relied on in a Presidontinl campaign, Nor is thoro any reason to hopo that Democratic salary- grabbers would give us any botter Government than Republican onos. THE VOTE ON INFLATION, The voto in tho Senate on tho Inflation bill reealls an old logond which tells how a sculptor once mado & man out of marble and theu be- sought the devil to glve life to the image, which being done tho uowly-created man foll to and dovoured the soulptor,—an awful waming againat dabbling in witcheraft. Wa havo given political power to the negro,—that was unavold- ablo,—and ho has sont us enough Sonators to voto a new issuo of shiuplastor currency upon us, It this doos not dovour us up in the oud, it will ba bocauso the mistaken step alveady tuken 18 rotraced. Tho Senate, whon' full, consists of 74 mom- bors, Thero are now two vacauclos—ons from Massachusotts, and ono from Louisiana, Of the 72 sitting Benators, 40 are Republicans, 10 Dom- oorate, and 4 Liborals, The vote on tho Infla- tion bill, with those who were abscut aud paired, was a8 follows: FOR INFLATION, Jepublicans—Allison, Boremon, Csmeron, Carpons ter, Olayton, Doraoy, Ferry (3lich.), Harvey, Uitche cock, Ingalls, Lowis, Logan, Mortol, Oglesby, Pattore soh, Pease, Pratt; Ramaey, Nobertavn, Spattcer) Weat, Windem Absind, bul Uetlld huve vaikl youalipragiiy Brownlow, Conover, Gllbert, Wright, Mitchell, Al corn—29, Democrats—~Togy, Goldthwalte, Johnaton, McCrcory, Morrimon, Norwood, Absent, but would have volsd yea—Donnis, Gordon, Ransom—0, Liveral~Tipton—1, ANTI-IRFLATION, Republicans—Anthony, Chisndler, Conkling, Cragln, Frolinghuyson, 1familn, lowe, Jones, Morrlll (Vt.), Sargent, Bcott, Shermnn, Stowart, Wadlelgh, bsent, Uttt toould have voted nay—Buckingham, Forry (Conn,), Boutwall, Edmunds, Morrill (Mo.), Fitnogan—10, Democrats—Cooper, Davis, Hager, Jamilton (Md.), Kolly, Snulabury, Thurman, Absent, but would have ‘voted niay—Bayard, Btockton, Btovonson—10, Liberals—Fenton, Homilton (Texas), Behurze3, The inflation majority in the Bonate {s 0, Of tho 89 votos for inflation, the fittcon old slave Btates furnish: Virginia, 2; North Carolion, 33 South Carolinn, 3; Georgin, 2; Alabama, 2; Florids, 2; Loulsiana, 1; Mississippl, 2; Arkan- 808, 2; Tonnesseo, 1; Kentucky, 1; Missourl, 15 Marylond, 1—or 21 in all, From the 22 North- orn Blatos thero were but 18 votes, sll given by TRopublicans, The vote according to the old classification may boe thus stated s FOR INFLATION, Northorn Republican Nortlern Liberal Houthorn Liberal Total... It will bo soen, therofore, that a majority of the voto for inflation ia from the Africanized Statos, and wo have actually roalized in thia voto the prodiction of Mr. Morton, that, if tho negroes woro allowed to vote, thelr ignorance and inox- porience would bo felt in Congresa to the injury of the nation, and to tho overturning of the well-sottled principles of true government, It is worthy of romark that on this question ho led the African pbalanx in porson. The Repub- lican party of tho North, it will bo seen, {8 prac- tically controlled by the Africanized States. Tho industry and production, the- capital and ‘weslth of the nation, have all beon put jn peril to satisfy tho demands of che bankrupt and impoverished poople of the Bouth, who, having waated thelr capital and dostroyed sll their crodit, look to an issue of worthless paper to supply the need of both, Nine Southern Demo- crate voted with tho carpot-baggers; but, to their crodit be it eaid, the four Northern Democrata voted to sustain the credit of the nation. PRESIDENT GRANT'S OPPORTUNITY, The solid men of New York arc potitioning the President to veto the Inflation bill, *in orderthat the honor of the country may not suffer in the estimation of our own people and in the estima-~ tion of nll the civilized peoplo of the world," The Chicago Board of Trado has adopted, by a decieive majority, a protest against inflation, which ends with this rosolution: Resolved, That we call upon tho Prealdont to use the velo power and provent tho carrylng into effect of any measurcs that will tond to deloy or rendor at all doubt~ ful a gradusl bu certain return to pecio payments, Gov. Dix has sent a special message to the Now York Logislature, in whick he says: In view of tho purpose indicatod by Congress to onlarge the volume of logal-tender notes and the National-Dank paper, and to repudiata all atterpts to ro-establish tho standard of specis, policy I alncerely Deliovo fraught with wide-sproad dlssater to the in- dustey of tho country and with imminent danger to its crodit, T invoko your interposition to contribute all in your power to provent its adoption, These words will find an echo overywhers, All theory and all practico unite to show the dangers of an 1rrodecmable currency. .. ‘Che Con- tinantal currency that was finally sold by tho pound, the Fronch assignats that now paper many a peasaot's hut, the *Austrisn notos that have plunged the Empire into hopoless boukruptey,—find in theso the parallels of un- limited greoubacks. Read in their results of pouie, and erisis, and crash, the inovi- table doom of the nation that -tries to “make money"” with the printing- press. Tho country has now byt one hope of oscape from shame and ruin. It is the voto. The President’s opportunity has como. Hero is the chance by a stroke of statesmanship and the pen to atone for many errors, to win again thoe respoct of thinking men. Thore aro some ronsons for believing that he will intorpose his voto at this crisis, ‘The persons with whom he bas been most intimate of late years, outsido of mere political circles, are all opposed to infla- tion.

At the requost of Mr. Smnuer's most intimate and trusted frionds, the New York Tribuneof Monday last published the specch in which the lnte Benator oxplainod tho causes which Led interrupted his rolations with the Presi- dent and tho Scorotary {of State, and which wore seized upon by the Republican ma- jority in the Bonato for his expulsion from the councils of the party. The speech was withheld ot the timo of its composition, on tho advice of Benators Trumbnll and Schurz, who, with all sympathy for their injured collenguo, thought it most prudent not to divert publio attention to personal . questions, aud sway from the issues of principlo at the bottom of Sonator Sumnor's differonces with the President. For threo yours tho groat Senator sufferod in sllence the humilistion ond the misrcprosentations to which he bad been subjected. Ho died with- out huving uttered the dignifled and trenchant dofonso ho had propared, and, in the opinion of his frionds, it is due to his memory and the- poople that publicity should be given to tho circumstances of thoe affront put upon him, snd that tho country should know why the Senate was deprived of thoe most valua- blo services of its greatest member, Henator Bumnor opposed with his usual vigor, but with bis usual honorablonoss, tho pot schome of the Prosident for tho snuoxation of San Domingo, His oxposure of its unconstitu- tionality and the unconstitutionslity of the means by which it had boen nurtured, car- riod conviction through tho Senate. Tho blll was * defested, The vengeaucoe of the President, liko that of Preston Brooks, foll wupon Mr, BSumnor in his seat. He was strickon from his place at the hoad of tho Committeo on Forelgn Affairs, whera ho had sorved tho country for yoars, e wag dograded from his position on the othor commit- toes, ond placed fourth on u com- mitteo hended by tho microscople Flanagan, of Toxas, Benator Sumnor bogine tho spesch which was delivored aftor theso ovents by the atato- ment that ho waa forced to spoak by the conduot of hia colleaguos, who had attackod him not only on the floor of thoenato butin the publiopria To thi¢ ylaa which Lsd been unde the prote: for hia disgraco, that ho hind no porsonal roln- tions with tho Prosident, ho roplics that ho hins procisoly the rolations the Prosident hos chosen. Aftor tho 8an Domingo spocoh, Senator SBumnor, statos positively that tho DProsident had snld that, if ho woro not Prosident, ho *would ocall him to nccount,” Gon, Babeook ** hind monaced me (Bumnor) with porsonal violenco.” It was thus the Presidont took notice of & speooh which utterod no word concorning motives, and made mo suggestion - of corrup- tion, bubt was spoken s tho Bonator says for ‘““simply tho good of my country and humanity.,” It waso donial by tho Prosi- dont of tho right of a Sonator to oxpress himaolt froely on great acta of wrong, snd an at- tempt to imposo his own sole will upon tho - Republican party; an attompt to whioch the mnjorlty basoly submitted. The rost of Sonator Sumnor's spocch fs given to & statement of ‘the strange and unnatural conduct" of tho Beorotary of Stato towards Mr, Sumner and his friend, Mr. Motley, Until the San Domingo scheme | failed through Senator Sumuer's opposition, the Becrotary and he were intimate frionds, the former continually seoking his help, and more then onco agking him té hold the pon for lim. Thorenftor the §ecrotary addressed por- sonnl insults to lim in publio State papors and offered him ostentatious indignities, Bcorotary Fish must blush - to woo in print Somator Bummner's fecital of the conversation in which, after urgont and almost’ plteous ' appeals that lhe would cesso Ins Loatility to the project so near the President’s hoart, tho Sccrotary sald: “ Why not go to ‘Tondon ? Toffer you the English Misslon., 1t is yours,” Astonishment and indignation might woll have stirred Sonntor Sumuor to some deserved and , withoring robuke, but with characteristic magnanimity ho roplied simply, *Wo Liave a Ministor thore who caunot be bottered.” Bubscquently, after Mr. Motloy's removal from tho English MMisslon, Becro- tary Fieh, in the courso of a public State paper, used the langusge which Senator Bumner was forced to consider porsonally in- sultiog. : No gontleman pnd few Bonators counld consider it compntible - with self-rospect to continue personal rolations with a Prosident and Becrotary of State who had rovenged themselves for the proper oxer- ciso of a public duty by tho infliction of personal indignities. Sonator Bumuer de- termined that his solf-rospect would not allow Lim to do so. ‘'Public business must not suffor, but perzonal rolations must necessarily conse.” This rule his followed, and the Scnato, instead of applauding and eustsining bhis conduct, in which their own diguity and indopondence were involved, joined with the President in the attompt to.disgrace him. Tuia epeech is an importaut contribution to the history of the present Administration, whoso obituary is still to be written. Fow who read it will fail to como to the conclusion that it wero bottor to bo tho dond Senator than-the living Prosidont. M'NULTA ON THE RAMPAGE, The gentleman from Iilinois, Mr. MoNulta, hos beon making himeelf very consplouous in the House of Ropresontatives at Washington, The gentloman from Illinois has boon making himself vory dieagreeablo, In addition to these two exploits, tho gentloman from Illinois, to put it in mild terms, has beon making an ass of himself, Ho succeedod in doing it in this wige = Trom time immemorial, it has been s usage of tho Housa to sot apart a front benck i the mem- Dors' gallory for thonso of the Speaker, to bo used in his discrotion for his own family or for visitora of distinction. This usago has nevor been quostioned by any momber of the Iouse, and no attompt hos boen mado to intorforo with it. Rocently, howevar, Mr. MoNulta sought to force his family into tho soat, and was provented by the usher, Fired with indignation at this outrage upon the rights of & free aund ‘enlight- oned Amorican oftizen, the gontleman trom Tlinow first abnsed the uehor and then wrathfally descended to the floor of tho House to assort his rights, The Spoaker cnlled the attontion of the Houso to tho matter, and, while deprecating any wieh upon his onn part to insist upon the priviloge, neverthelesa wislied to have it clearly understood whother tiio sont was ot his disposs), as it always lad boen at tho disposal of his predecessors, Mr, Randall at once suggested that the custom bo mnde s- rule. Mr. Maypard and Mr. Dawes both con- curred iu the suggestion. The gentloman from Tllinois, finding that things were going against him, arose and objected to auy mombor of the Touse having any exclusive privilego in the gal- lory assigned to the uso of membors. ., o was in favor of all membors meoting on o level. Every man was eatitled to tho same privileges as overy other mean, and he clrimed to hove the snme rights a8 every othor member had. Mr, Holman moved that the subjoot bo referred to the Com- mittee on Rules, with instructions to roport a proper rule in regard to it. Mr. Mayrard thought the simple statoment made by the Speaker was sufficiont, Tho gentloman from Tllinols moved that thore bo o seat spocially set aside for the Spenker in tho diplomatio gallery, but, as no onc secondod the proposition, tho Bpeakor submitted tho question to the House ‘whether this usage which had existed immomori~ ally should be continued. The House voted unanimously in the affirmative, with the excep- tion of tho gentloman from Illinols, wheroupon the latter got upon tho rampago and made the following ridiculous exhibition of himgoelf : Mz, MoNurTA—I rise to make s Parliamentary in- quiry. I want to kuow whero the evidonce ia that the immemorial custom of this Touse I8 tuat one member hios biglier privileges than anothor, Tue Sreanen—The Chair regards the question os settlod ; 1t 1a not before the Houso, Afu, RaNpaLL~I think we may as well determine thut tho Bpeaker shall have some righta snd privie leges, Nz, Winrrame—I do not like invidious dlstinctions, and I rleo to suguiro if soms rule could not be estab- lished by which all the membera of the House could ocoupy tho Spepkor's chair., . [Laughter.] Mgz, MoNuLTA—I would liko to know what dfspoat~ tion was made of this question of the rosorved neats, Tux Spraxen—Tho Chalr understands that the usuge of tho tiouse, which Lias been immemorfal, was contirmed by a vate to which the gontloman from Illi- nots alone dissentod, + Mn, MoNurra—I want the Chair to undorstand that Tobject, IfTaw tho only man proteating, I propose to protest distinctly againat this thing being douo, Trik SpEAXER—The gentloman from Illinols, Mr. MoNultu, will ploaso tako tho chir in Conmnitico of the Wholo on tho Private Calondar, The goutleman from Illinola thus having aired Lis notlons of oquality and enterod “his protest subsided, Ttis doubtful whothor a porson of such exalted sontiments of equality would ap- preciate tho hissos whioh greoted him after ho had made bis protest, or understand the peromptory manner In which tho Iouse dlsposed of him. If Mr. MoNults, how- cver, cannot ondure the ueages of tho Honse, aund oannot exerciie the duties 6f ui Atiurioaa cltiavn without havitg hly famls ly on tho front berich to oo him do it, Mr. Mo- Nulta had bottor paokup his trunk and talo bimsolf back to Dloomington, whoro thoy may do thoso things bottor. The familics of other mombors of the House and of past Houaos, sinco timo immemorial, have found no discomfort and hove oxprossed no disploasuro at tho enforce- mont of this rule, and wo can 860 no reagon why Mr, MeNulta'a family should bo mado an oxcoption for tho snke of - gratifylug the prido of tho gontloman from Illinols. If Mr, MoNulta, theroforo, ia diqsatiafled, hohad bottor come home, 1If ho concludes to romaln, his constituonts would do well to fuform him that hois not reflecting any credit upon them or upon the State by making such discroditable oxhibitions of his wenkness and silliness in pub- lie.

Ho I8 & simon-puro Republican, BANBORN'S TESTIMONY, The spy Sanborn probably roso from his oxami- nation on Monday, before tho Woys and Means Committee, flushed with viotory, He has beon mado tha scapograco of the whole sickening busi- noss. . Boutwell and Richnrdson have bhitherto pleaded tho baby-net of jguorance, That two Booretaries of the Troasury should have farmed ont the revonues it was their sworn duty to col- loct with such criminal carelessness scomed bad onough, That they should have done 5o do- liborately scoms worse. Sanborn contradicts thom as complotely as Oakes Ames did Schuyler Colfax. The quostion of that cnse recurs: Which *shiall wo boliovo ? Bauborn testifies that ho applied to Bontwoll for tho contract, and talked over tho whole ‘mattor with him two or three times."” Mr. Fos. tor, of Ohio, then put questions and got anewors aa follow : ‘Foster—You wero acquainted with Boutwell ? * Banborn—Yes, Postor—Was your ontire arrangoment msde with Boutwell 7 Banborn—Yes, Foster—Aund the wholo matter was discussod with bim? Banborn—Yes. & Fostor—Aud the mode of operation? Sanborn—Yes, somewhat, I think he roferred tho ‘mattor to tho Solicitor, When Sanborn wished his contract enlarged, ho wont to Richardson, who was then Acting Beoretary during Boutwell's absence, and asked him whether ho would give him (Sanborn) the necossary powors, or whother ho would prefer to wait till Boutwell returned, Ricuardson ox- prossed his entire willingness to sign tho papera at once, and did 8o. Tho report of the evidence continuos: Foster—DId ho know, when he was signing the coftract, what Lo was signing? Banborn—I have no doubt about it, . Foster—DId §t ot coma to him as » more routing ‘business, and did he not sign it without knowing it ? Sanborn—TI ahould say not; I do not know what they call outine bustness. Foster—You think ho hiad falt knowledge of it, snd kmew what ho was signing? Banborn—I Liave no doubt about it, Foster—The additions to tho contract were msdo aftor Boutwell went out of offica? Sanborn—Yes. Foster—Toll us sbout thom., What partioular imowledge did Richardson havo of them ? *Sanborn—I should say that ho knew all about lham; as much as T did, and moro, too, I did not pretend to know anything about it, but T went to him for infor~ mation, Wo talked about it half-s-dozen times, moro orless, Horoferred me to the Solivitor, and the Bolcitor referrod me to somebody else, There were all sorts of red-tapo about it. Fostor—So that tho additions to the contract woro mado with the full knowledge of Richardson, and he sigued them knosring what o did sign? Sanborn—There cannot be any doubt aboutit, I nover thought otherwiss, Comparo this statement with Becretary Rich- ardeon’s declaration, on March 81, that he ‘‘know nothing about the mattor”; that he * nover saw o lottor to himsolf unless tho clerks of his office chose to lay it beforo him" ; that he “had never spoken with Sanborn about his con- tracts™; and that ho *‘know absolutely nothing of tho detnila of the mattor,” Horo is the flattest of contradictions. It soems almost in- credible that the Secretary of the Treasury conld know so littlo about a jobbory which neoded his signature to set it going and to got its moioties, from time to timo. Porhaps, howover, Mr. Richardson has forgotton all aboutit. Hohas steadily shown himsolf 8o lacking inall the other mantal powers requisite to manage the finances of the country, that it would not bo surprising if his memory wero also weak. The revelations of Sanborn’s mode of ‘opera- tion are interesting. When the investigation began, it was urged in bis favor that ho had re- ported to the Dopartmont 693 railroads which wera tax-delinquonts. Ha confessos that ho ‘mado up this list from a Raflway-Guide, and that ho know nothing at all about 440 of tho ronds, His attornoys advieed kim to put in the whole lot. So did “ofiicors of tho Treasury Dopart- ment.” One of theso attorneys was s Boston lnwyor, Proscott by name, who was until recout- 1y on Internnl Rovenue employe at Washington. His foes amountod to $25,000. Sanborn's cash- account oxomplifies the maxim: * Easily got, essily spont.” Mo hes roceived over $210,000 from tho Government and has paid his subordinates snd attorneys about $160,000. Butlor, of course, came in for a share of the spoils. He was too shrowd to take it dircetly, but he had Sanborn pay o round sum to his Fi- nance Committes during his last grab for the Governorship. It would bo curious, by the way, to trace the money that Committeo Liandled back through the hands of Sauborn, Simmons, Jayne, ctal, to tho firms or.tho Treasury from which most of it was probably filcked. B.T. B, got Banborn his contraot, gave him advice, got him bail in the Brooklyn suit, did ovorything kacould to provent the prosont investigation, and is now acting a8 his confidontial friend. A per- gon rocolving such disinterested and valunble sorvices could not but contribute liborally to the Butler compaign fund, Tho tostimony leaves tho boro of Fort Firher-no worse off than he was bofore. Tho only difference is thitt evorybody Luowa now what everybody beliovod botors about him. His roputation is one of the fow things that canmot bo spoiled. Richnrdson, howaever, i in 3 moro sorry plight than over, Hia roply to Sanborn will be awaited with in- torest, — A party by the name of Jolinson has created a sonsation in London. 'Tho ripple was origlually contined to fashionablo soclety, but now it has apitated tho commumty at large, Publle excite- ‘ment is intensified by two circumstances, Fivat- ly, nobody knows who tho party by the name of Johnson is, oxcopt that shoe is & wotnan; second- 1y, nobody knowas what the party by the namo of Johneon has done, oxcopt obtaiu a prosoutation tothe Quoen.
