She Chicaga Cribane, March 26, 1876, Friday Morning, It was a dark day for 'Tintox in the Brook- lyn trial yesterday, All of tho witnosses against hint wero American citizens of Af- tlenn descent, and they told some damaging stavies of things which had come undor their observation whilo in tho Woonnutr service. Lhe court adjourned until Monday out of consideration for Good Friday, Tho gold corner in Now York is having a bad effcet on the national fuances, ‘Sho in- creased premium on gold will probably pre- yout, at least for tha time, the placing of any more of the new & per cent bonds on the foreign market. ‘Chis is another proof of the evils of a paper currency. If the greonbacks were at par, we could sell 4} per cont houds in every European enpital. The Copperas Creck appropriation was voted down in the Honso yosterday, the Dem. verats, Who wero counted as the supporters of tho bill, having changed front, ont of re- venge, it is said, for the defeat of tho Regjatry repeat bil, If there must ben choico be- tween two such evils ns the passage of tho Rapeal bill or tho defeat of tho appropriation, there is good cause to rejoice that the lesser harm has been done, though the amendmont tothe Copperas Creck bil!, 2s proposed by Mr, Sraut, may yat carry it throngh, ey And now we are told that tho late Jony Ahrens, was s naturalized American citizen, » In other wonds, he was a fall Amorican citi- zen, having aworn an allegiauce to the Goy- ernment of tho United States, and foraworn ull other allegiance, In this case, how could the County of Tipperary, setting aside overy other considoration, have legally elected Mrrcnen to Parliament? How could Mirren, while an American citizen, hayo Inwfnlly bo- vome n candidate for a seat in tho British Parliament? A parallel caso would bo that of an American who should go to England to live, there voluntarily surrender lis American citizenship, become o British subject, and then return to America for tho purpose of running for Congress. It is what would bo called “checky” in this country, Wo do not think such an individual would find a constituency very readily, nor get his seat in Congress if he wero elucted, EES Sul another damaging fenturo has been doveluped in connection with tho Rasary- Hauury job for the benefit of the express companies, It has been discovered tuat the effect of the increnso of tho rato for third- cinss mail matter will greatly embarrass all tho Government Departments, whose yenr's allowances for ofiicinl stamps wore based upon the old rate of 1 cent for overy two ounces, and whose supply of stamps, under the doubled rate, will bo exhausted in six montis, Somo of the Departmonts will have to suspend tho forwarding of third-class mail whon thelr stamps are gone, while others, moro forty. rate in having appropriations for oxprossage, will bo compelled to maku shipmonts by ox- press for half s yenr, ond in this way still further awell the beneflts to the oxpross com. panies, whose manngors must havo looked a fong way ahead when they retained Rasser to draw up tho amendment and Hasan to offer it, ee Tho Indepentent says that Socretary Bris. tow understands the new tinaneo Jaw to ro- quire tho redemption and destruction of £80 in greenbaoks for every $100 in new National Bank notes, and that ho has therefore can- eeled tha §1,285,100 of iegal-tondors arendy withdrawn, ‘This is important, if true, It makes the provisions for redemption something moro than a sham, ‘This highly “ senatbla ruling increases our regret that rumors, coming thick and fast, seom to portend Mr. Buisrow’s resigna- tion, lo is said to have been offered a very advantageous partuorskip in a lawefirm, and to ba inclined to accopt it. It would be a great pity to lose the only capable Sucrotary of the Treasury wa have had since McCut- LooH, Ne, like Bawsrow, withdrew groen- backs as authorized by Congross, but, uniiko hhn, did not déstroy them. When Bovrwen, aud Ricaanpson succeeded hima thoy roissued thom, gambled with Wall gtreet, bulled and eared the gold-markot with thom, * moved the crops” with them, and, Dually, lett half of them outstanding, uotwithitanding they had once been redecined, : ——_——— ‘The Chicago produce markets wero yory variable and unsettled yesterday, Bless pork: was active and UG@350 per bri higher, clos- iug et §20.05 cash, and $20.80 for May, tard was iu moderate demand, and 1430 per 100 tue higher, closing at $13.65 cash, and $14.02} for May.

"Tha Tilinois House fortnnately eame to tts right senses before dealing finally with the proposed repeal of the Registry act, Speaker EH’ policy of bullying, brow-heating, and ig, only succeeded in gelting the bill to a third reading, When it came up yester- day for final passage, it was defeated bya voto of 70 yens to 67 nays, thus failing te secure a mafority of all tho members elected, which ia uccersary fo the passnyo of any mensure. ‘THe nflirmative votes were thoso of 4) Domo. erats, 20 Independents, and t Republican $ while the opponents of tle meastra con prised 62 Republicans, & Independents, and 2 Democrats, Owing to the interposition of Speaker Harxrsa, who refused to state cor- veetly and submit to the Honse a motion made by Mr. Coxsonny to table a motion to reconsider, and thus prevent the reaurrec- tion of the bill, its sttpporters have been afforded nuother chanco {to secure votes enough to make up tho requisite mofority, andgthey will make the most of their oppor- tunity, no doubt. It is believed, however, that they will not suceced, and that the vote of yesterday insures tho death and burial of the measnre. If thix proves to be the ease, Chicago will havo matte a lucky escape in the defent of this repeal bill, We do not be- lieve the Governor would in any event per- mit it to boeome a Inw (and it has now been demonstrated that, as the Democrats and In- dependents must rely wholly upon their own ranks, they will not be ablo to pass tho bill | over his veto), but it would be vastly to the eredlit of the Legislature to refect outright a proposition to nullify popular elections by putting the ballot-boxes into the hands of the dangerous classes, without any chock upon them whatever. e COMPENSATION FOR SLAVES, ‘The Louisville Courier-Journal devotes three mortal cohumna of that paper to main. tain its position that the Southern whites have heen treated by the North with unex- ampled rigor and cruelty, and punished to an extent unparalleled in modern history for their offense of rebellion ond secession. Sifted thoronghly, the exccasive punishment. asserted to have beon inflicted on the South seams to be nothing more nor less than tha emancipation of the slaves, This carries tha urind back te the purpose of the Rebellion,— the effort to establish a Confederacy of which “property in man" yhould be tho Iunda- mental principle, The abolition of slavery, being a necessary consequonce of tho failure of the Rebellion, is now regarded by those engaged in that Rebellion as an ** unprece- dented punishinent” upon them, and os in. Hicted by the North, The position we have taken is that up to the timo when the fanatical men in South Carolina precipitated the War and the actual shedding of blood, there was o very largo population at the South opposed to secession, disunion, ond rebellion, ‘Cheso people had expressed their protests at the Novembor election by their yotes for Brut, Dovenas, and Lixconx. Even after Sonth Carolina had “seceded,” the States of ‘fennessee and North Carolina rejected the scheme of seces- sion, and there was a Jargo population pro- testing against it in all the slave States, Mis- sonri, Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware, ond Wost Virginia were opposed to it, and many of their people remained so to tho last, In the other States, the Union men wero in tho end forced by tho precipitated hostilities to go with their States into a rebellion to which thoy were at henrt opposed, At that time thera was not ‘San united Sonth,” no matter bow it seemed at o inter period, The number of male adults owning slaves in the Rebel States was but a small proportion of the whole, and the “ nig. gerless” whites of the South, who had not ovo iota of personal or property interest in slavery, did nearly oll the fighting. The atay-at-homes and those not in arms wero the slavoholders ; they held civil ofices, wera Congrossmen, Judgea, Logislntors, Sheriffs, Tax-Collectora, editora, otc,, ete, hoy urged and incited the War; thoy kept up the war fecling, and they continued to do s0 to the Inst, Of tho one million of men in arms first antl Inst at the South, how many of tho six orsever hundeed thousand survivors wero punished or disfranchised? How many of them have hed their lauds confiscated? It in said that Lee died under the ban, and that Jerr Davis isstill under it, Tr hingolf was 4 Union man, who only went into the War upon tho appeal of Virginia and not of the Confederacy, and who, had he Jived until now, would have had all his disebilitica ro. moved. Tho Vice-President of the Confedera- ey lins not only boen amnestied, but has been for two yenrsormorein the National Congress, ‘The United States, mourning so mony hun- Greg thousands of herawn patriots who por- ished in defunding their country ogafust a wicked and unprayaked Rebellion, never pun- ished a solitary man for treason. Aso con. sequence of the War, and asan indispensable neceaalty for tho sestoration pormanontly of tho National Union, slavery wos abolished. Why should tho non-combataut slaveholdera, who incited and pushed ,on the Rebellion in behalf of slavery, in whose interest the Re- bellion originated, compiain of being pun. ished by the loss of their ‘proporty” in their fellowsmen? Why should not slavery have been abuilshed? Was it not morally right, aud a moral duty of tho’ nation, to abolish it? Was it not a military necessity ? Mfad not slavery become a pestitentinl ani. Banco, a national disgrace, a shameless blot upon the American charactor, 1 constant re. proach to our boasted free institutions? Tad it not become the producing cause of civil war and rebellion, and all tho ovils and horms that issued therefrom? Ag wo havo said, the complaints of North. ern crovity inflicted uyou tho “broken and crushed peoplo of the South,” when narrowed down, all end in the etmtuelpation of the slaves, ‘Tho War had progressed two years before there was any mova towards omanci- pation. ‘he slayos who had escaped to ny wera sont to the rear and afterwards Dbecamo n part of the military systam; they had for. foited their lives by deserting their masters to jointhe Union forces. hoy had to bo protected. They conld nover bo again sur. yenderod to thoir fornor clafmants, Tho Progress of the War pointed out the neccusity Of weukening tho encmy by offering personal freedom to the productsy cluss in tho Robel States, he time ani the oceasion, moral end tallita y right, no ional credit and policy, all combined to point out the propriety aud nocensity of forever abolishing slavery, It was done, ‘hough the Wor was completed before the Thirteenth Amendment was formally proclaimed, yet rlavery was abolished practically from tha date Congress submitted tho amendment. Then came the work of reconstruction, What wns to be the coniition of these four millions of laborers and producers? ‘They were free in form, shonld they be so in fact? How contd the Rebel States ‘bo reconstructed without placing thom in na position where they contd legalty defond their freedom? Tenee, they had to bo invested with all the civil rights of freemen, Congress did not net hastily, It proceeded cautiously, step by step. It mado the colored people trea s it invested them with the civil rights of frea mon, It was thon found necassary to clotha them with political righty, na no defense against their practical and inevitablo re- duction to serfdom or alavery, Thora was no alternative but that proposed hy Axpnrew Jonysox's policy, which wos to make the former slave-owners the solo de- positories of political power, and tho former slaves the helpless subjects of auch legistas tion as thelr former masters should provirte, ‘That poticy would havo first reduced the four million of freemen to the condition of serfs, and next back into chattel slavery. Tho Courier.Fournal but betrays the pro- vailing sontiment among tho old slavaholding community that there was a peculiar sanctity in slave property; that this sanctity litte it above all other considerations, and that no neceasity, nor occasion, nor etnergency, could justity the transfer of that property from the master to the bondman iimself, ‘The ghost of slavery is forover sitting at the hearth. stono of tho ex-slavehokter, Ilo ac. cepts uncomplainingly of tho slaughter of his brethren nnd children © in battle, of their denths by disenso and ex- posure; he accepts poverty in its most cruel fornis ; he necepts the orphaunge and widow- hood of millions around him; he accepts the seallering of friends aud neighbors, and their abandonment of homosteads and lose of wealth, and powor, and influence. All there things he accepts as legitimate consequences of tho War which he himself incited, but ho refnses to necopt the destruction of his right to hold and own his fellow-man as property, and therefore mumbles from day to day at tho ornelty of the North,” which refuses to compensnte bin for the thing most encred in his eyes, but which in fact the cfvilization of manhood holds as 1 crime agninat fustico, truth, religion, and nature itself. OHICAQO JUstices OF THE PEACE, The Governor has communicated to tho Legislaturo of this State, with his approval, aroquest by tho Judges of the several Courts of Cook County that tho State Constitution ‘bo amended #0 as to rolieve them of the duty of recommending persons for appointment na Justices of the Peace for thia city, ‘The Constitution now provides that the Justices of the Peace for this city shall be appointed by the Governor by aud with the advice and consent of the Senate, but only on the rec- ommendation of a majority of the Judges of tho Courts of this county, It ig from this uty of recommending persons for that office that the Judges ask to be relioved by consti tutional amendment. We hopo thot no seach amendment will bo passed and proposed, and wo fuil to discover guy good renion why the changa should bo made, The reasons leading to tho adoption of that provision in the Constitution wero overwhelming. The Justices of the Peaca in this city had beon elected by the rabble. Tho selection of candidates had bean com- mitted to the bummers of tho ward caucuses, aud tho rosult was a body of Justices fitly representing those who selected them, Thera wore n few honorable exceptions; but, taken asa whole, the Justices of the Peaco doing business in this city prior to 1871 wero a do- graded, dishonest, and corrupt pack of oficial prostitutes, There was no remody for the evil, which lad become intolerable. ‘Thesa men were Keensed highwaymen, and of the moat vulgar and degraded clase, So low had the office sunk, beenusa of tho character of the men in commission, that even the avarge bummers hold it in contempt, and prayed with tho rest of the community for decent Justices of tho Pesce, Thera was an univeranl demand for relief from tho disgraceful Board of Justices, nnd it was aa universally conceded that thero could bo no deliveranco without a radical change in the manner of selecting them, What other modo’ was to be adopted? ‘Tho Convention recognized the fact that these Justices wero purely local officers, and that there should bo some local eupervision over their selection, It therefore provided that: 1. Tho Governor should appoint thom; %. ‘That the Senote should confirm them; and, 3, That they should have received the provi. ous recommendation of a majority of the Judges of the local Courts, Tha Judgea wero elected because they were re- moved from politics; had » inowledge of tho requisites fora proper discharge of the duties of Justices of the Peace; thoy were, moreover, more or fess informed, or could bo informed, és to tho presont character and fitness of the candidates, and wero supposed to be able to act independently of all consid. erations eave those of the public wolfare, Yo them, or amajority of them, wos com. Taltted the duty of sifting tho applications fnd selecting the number roqnired, ‘Tho Governor was thon onthorized {to scrutinize tho list a3 made ont by tho Judges; to reject thoso ho should deom unfit, and to send back tho list to hava the vacancios Med, ‘Who list thus agreed upon by the Judges and tho Governor wag then to bo further seratinized by the Senate, to whotn was given the powor to rofect auy one named, Horo, thon, wore no lesa than three different scrutinics pro- vided, each independont of the other, ani the hops was that out of this would come a re. spectable and competent Board of Justices, Yow haga tho monsure worked ? In 1871, on the recommendation of the Judges, thors were appointed Aftaen Justices, ‘Though dur- ing that tinio some of tho persons appoint- ed have proved to be failures, still the Board of Justices, taken as o wholo, was iinmens- uralily auporior to any similar Board known in Chicago for many years proviously, Somo weoks ago tho Judges nogain mado thoir recommendation ; the persony recommended by them for 1874-0 aro asa whole an im- provejnent upon the appointments mado four years ago. It is now reported that of those Now rovommended the Governor has rejected six,—one from the South, two from the Wost, and three from the North Towng, In tho micautine the Loglelature has increased the numbor by the addition of four, and there sro now ten vacaucies to bo filled upon the recommendation of the Judgow. The pro- ceva by which those appolutments are made ia calculated to give to this city a botter class of tucn than wo haveecver had. Boforo the ehouge in tho mode of appointment, an hon. est, competent, and sober Justico of tho Peaoe in this city was an exception; now it is the rule, and the incompotent and unit aro the exceptions, | Hefore the change in tho moto of appointment, a Intge majority of tho Justices’ offices in this city wero run as adjuncts to soloona, and tho Blind Goddess and King Alcohol held the scales in partner. ship and divided what was literally the “spoils.” Woo to the unfortunate dofendant who was even suspected of having any money! Such o man onco brought within tho presenco of tha drunken, kuavish Justice anid tho habitues of tho: oftice, was plundorad and robbod, and, if he dared make reristnnce, waa punished by the over rondy bully aud rufan in attendance, ‘Tho proposed amendment which is pend. ing beforo the Legislature las for its object the restoration of the old system of electing theso officors at tho town mob elcetions, Wo wish the members of tho Legislature could witnesa a town election in the City of Ohi- engo, At town elections there is no regintry, and an election in Chicago without 9 registry ‘is morely a repetition of the ward-bunmor caucus ona large scale. Everybody votes as often as he plenses, and the elcetions aro de- sided as much by muscular strongth as by any arithmetical canvass of the ballote do- Posited in the box. At such an election fifty men ean vote 600 votes in a shorter space of timo thon twenty-five honest voters ean de. posit cach one vote nt an honest election, ‘The result of tho town-mceting elections is shown in the annual distribution among the threo Collectors, three Supervisors, three As- sessors, avid threa Town Clerks, of over $100,000 in compensation for the nominal performanco of nominal duttos, The objection to the present ryatom is that the appointment of Justices of the Pence 1s m extra duty not strietly portaining to tho judicial office, ‘his objection is more im- Aginary than real, Tho timo was’when in many States the Courts appointed Justices of the Pence, Bniliffa, Constables, and all other minor functionarios, Even at this day tho Lord Chancellor and tho Judgea of the high courts nominate the Sheriffs in England. It is a duty particnlary pertinent to tho courts, the Indges of which aro necessarily the very best informed as to the peculiar fituese and ability required for the offlee. Moreover, the duty is to be performed butonea in four years, and while wa admit it is an annoyance to haya to hear the applications of soyeral hundred persons of whom not more than ono in ten is in the lenat fitted by personal habits, education, intelligonce, or integrity to perform tho duties of the office they seek, still it is a responsibility in their oficial life whick they niust mect and should not attenpt to shirk, Should this amendment be Ingisted on, then its adoption will pusk Chicago baci into the abominable, disgraceful system which prevailed hera prior to 1871, and, in- stead of having nineteen respectable, sober, intelligent, and honest mon as Justices of the Pence, wo will havo a Bonrd mado up of the lowest pot-house bummers and vagrants the slums can find and elect at the town-meot- ings by ballot-box stuffing. ENCOURAGING MANUFACTURERS, The Tennessee Legislature, recently ad- jouruod, has aubmitted somo coustitutional amendments of considerable importance. Among thom was onc convening tho Logisla turo for regular session only once in four years, which would indicato a disposition to esenpe the wiles of the partisana and tho mis- tnkes of amntour law-makors ns much as pos- sible, though it may, be doubted whether it is prudent to make appropriations fdr four years ataastrotch, Anottor innovation isin per. mitting certain causes to be tried by o Jury of leca than twelvo, aud mioking % jury for the trial’of civil ensos optional with tho litigants, Tho amendmont author- izing manufacturing catnblishmonts to be exompt from taxation for a poriod not ex- ceeding six years, is the moat significant of all, and brings tho Stato of Tonneasee in strong contrast with tho State of Illinois on this question, Though it may bo regarded ni a dangorous precedent, and one likely to be abused, it shows that thoro isa strong dispo- sition on tho part of the peoplo of Tennesseo to promote the materinl and industrial prog. ress Of the State, Tho Legislature of Ili- nois has proceeded upon an entirely different basis. All tho lawa which it hag paescd or proposed, that conld possibly affect the manufacturing interest ona way or the ather, havo beon enlculated to oppress and discour= ago industrial development, ‘This haa been tho tondency of tho Granger movement forthe past two years, It begnn by insisting upon such an adjustmont of tho railrond tariffs ns to deprive manufacturers who had located in the amalier towns on tho ling of railronds of tho concessions which they had been recety. ing. ‘Lhis was followed up by tho double taxation of proporty invested in manufactur. ing in a variety of ways. To begin with, enpital stock of companics hos been taxed in addition to the property it represented, and oven the debts of a company are taxed as assets! ‘Thon money enpital ling beon taxed twico,—onea diroctly in the hands of the borrower, and a gecond tine (which the bor- rowor also pays) upon tho note or mortgage givon for the loan. ‘Perhaps ‘Tennessee has recognized the disposi. tion of the Hinols Legislature to break town and driva mouufacturera ont of the State, and bas detormined te take auch wlyantage of it as to gathor ina part of tho exodus, Thera is no doubt that tho now amondment, if ailopted by the people, will attract consiterable enpiinl to that State to bo invested in manufactures, for which the country offers other decided advantages. In Miinois the manufacturers do nat ask any ro- leaso from folr and equal taxation, nor other special priviloges or immunities, but certainly tho State ought not to deliberately check the growth of co-operativo industry by unjuab disoriunfnation against it, Of the two, ‘Ton- nessoe Jy ovidently further advanced in tho pmetice of political economy than Winols, though it ought to be the reverse, eens Saya a correspondent in yostorday'y Tam. ung, “Bfrs, Bwissnesat may have been an eye-witness to innumerable instances of tho kissing sho mountions; but, lot ua hops eho kept hermolf, like Cauan'a wife, aboyo re. progch.” We havo got tired of this quotation, ss it misleads the roader. Oxsan's wife was not abovo reproach or suspieion, as it is generally written, * ‘The innumerable multitude who put into everything they writo tho fluo old crusty re- mark about Ozsan'a wife being above sus- picion will please take notice that she was not abovo suspicion, and that Osan divorced Ljmsclf from her on that ground, Oazrvs- tA, the wifo in question, was misled, or, to stato it plaiuer, seduced, by Cronivs, Ozsan declined to prosecute the latter for political reasons, aud the criminal was thercfore ac. quitted after 9 sham trial, ‘is wife he promptly flung away, but ho woulduot joopardize Lia powor with his own party just then by demanding tho punish. ment of htm who had delanched her, Cronin belongod to Cmasr's political party, and was vory influential with {ho common people, though hated by the patricians. ‘Tho intrusion of the lecherous demngoguo into tho housohald of the great trinmyir, and the seduction of his wifo, bocnmo notorious in Rome. A word apoken by tho injared husband would have inswred his condaunn tion nud death, but Oxsan would not sponk, divorces from Nis false wife, who donicd tho proof of her guilt, and by de. elaring that *¢Cxsan’'s wife mnst not oven bo suspected,” or by another translation that ** Cxaan’s wifo ought to bo nbove anspicion 5” ‘but sho was not. Sho has figured as a modol of purity and virtno Jong cnough., Persons in search of such model will pleaso take sonio other woman, ‘ ‘CIVIL RIGHTS AND WRONGS. Bo far, the Civil-Rights bill seems to havo been of ndyantngo to lawyers, but to nobody elxo to speak of, Cases under it nro reported from: sovoral States, and retaining fees are Deing libernlly scattered among legal gentry. Colored Chicago seema to bo more pnxions than any other Northorn popuintion for its rights, Wo hnvo alrendy recorded threo enses of complaint in this city. Elsewhere, the colored brother, refused whisky in n saloon, a seat in a barber's chair, a private box in a theatre, or room in a, hotel, has been sparing in the publication of his wrongs. Most Northern hotel-koepors and theatre-managers have, however, shown a commendable degree of sense in the, mate ter. So have their patrons, Nobody, so far as heard from, has fainted at the sight of a nogro in tho drers.circle, or has left Room No. 1 in a hotel because No. 1,001 has a col- ored occupant, In the South, tho ense is different, Snit has beon brought in Now Orleans ngainst the mastor and clork of the steamboat Seminole, on account of their refusnl to sell Mr. and Mrs. Loura Crrevatien, colored, a cabin passago from New Orleans to a point on tha Red River. No time hag been sat for trint, but tho brother of Cunvanien, who brings the suit, expresses his rosolvo to pross it to a speedy ond. In Washington, ono of the prominent supporters of the Civil-Rights bill has been tho first to try to ovailo it, since it became nlaw. OCanten A, Stewart, tho col- ored barber at Willard’s Hotel and n tending politician, declined the proffered chance of shavinganother negro, Jony Hunten, Canter explained to Jonn that the Civil-Rights act did not refer to barber-shops, but Tors took his griefs to District-Attorney Fistren, whore viow of the Iaw coincided with Srrwanr's, ‘Tho Intter now finds business brisk, bat will necessarily confine himself tofuis shop bercat- ter and quit the trado of politics. Hodoesnot control the colored vote as much as ho did. It is rathor dificult to dotermino who is the niost thorough idiot in Richmond, Va, All tho theatre-goers scem to bo striving for that proud position, Tho appearance of n decent mulatto in the pit of a Richmond thentro created atch a commotion that the porform- anco had to he stopped. Tho boy” was surrounded by an angry crowd of roughs or young bloods, and was glad to get out un- harined, Soon afterwards a colored woman was discovered in the dress-circlo, Only whon she had been removed the fastidious andienco ‘was enndled to enjoy the play. This woman was taken tothe theatre, itappears, by a white man, ona Cecit Bann, Te discovered, tha next morning, that “ nobody knew him,” and that his oceupation way gone.

A suspicion of this fact lcd, last wintor, to tho forinntion of « Bureau of Charities in thio metropolis, Its object is to seo that gilts reach those who need them most. It lies already unearthed an unplersant amount of raseality among the receivers and tho nem- inal givers of charity. A flue lot of slardy beggars whose names figured ‘npon tho books of half-sdozen different sacictios wore, detected. Tho grentest frmuds, however, appeared in the sovietios themselves, Side by side with trustworthy institutions there flourish arrant chents,—or- ganizations which disburse charity only to their managers, Tho Burean has publicly exposed seven of those frauds and has broken up nino others, Ono of them was tho '* Now York Provident Socicty,” which provided for two mon and nobody else. ‘These ren col- lected clothing and provisions and solii them, ‘They got guarded indorseiments from somo prominent clergymen, and forged frvorablo additionste thom.

In tho neighborhood of hig store-room there was a flourishing industrial school. When ono of his possible patrons in- sisted upon seeing the Mission, the reverend swindler gravely conducted him through this school, received his congratulations, and pocketed the cash that was givon! Enavon's victiins paid him monoy and gave im goods up to the day whon ho was run over and kill. ed on Broadway, Such casos show tho necessity of stringent investigation, It isso onsy to live by beg- ging for ono's nelf, aud so much enstar to live by begging, nominally, for others, that the swarm of paupers can be diminished, only by cutting off tha source of pouperisn),—reck- Joss, indiscriminate charity. .
