Buelt tostimony they were not sven to luvestigate. 1f an irrespou. sible party saw wagon.osds of whisky ro- moved from u distillery night nfter night, they were directed not to puy the slightest uttention to tho matter, This was what the order stated in direct terms, it implied indireetly, snd why it was fur. uisbied to the press for publication. o It inplied thut the Supervisur wa not on tho look.out for frunds ; that the business of ductecting and prosceuting frauds was odioun and coutewnptible ; thut Geugers, Btorekeop. e, ¢te., would not bo molested by the Bu. pervisor unlesy thoy should be too daligent in discovering fraudu; that distillers would have nothing to fear fruia the prying public it they could manuge usttera with their Guugors aud Btrokeepers ; and in short, that the whols juternal revenue iuachinery hud been pervertud to nu engine of fraud and corruption.

They would in that case bleed wora co- | plonsly and with groater regularity.

How destruetive we wore, to be sure, and how glnd we ought to Lo now to pay the taxes needed to indem- nify tho Confederates for the misdeeds of tho | brutal rufflans who were wicked onough to | fight for the Unmion.

If tho Union is respounsible for everythlng stolen, or raid to have been stolon, from any Southern corporation during the War, tho inhnbitants of the North will find that the choapest thing | they can do is to sign quit-claim decds of all | their property, real and personal, to the ex- Confederates, nud then emigrate to Alaskn or to the sheltering caro of sotne Europusn des- potism, | DEMOCRATIC DILLS YR SPECTH MENTS We have published alrendy the text of the bill proposed by Senator Monniny, of Ver- mont, providing for the resumplion of specio payments, and conumented therecon, We have also published the text of tho bill pre- pared by Mr, MonngsoN, of Illinois, on the same subject, and now we have a bill of Mr, H. B. Payne, who reprosents Clevoland, hay- ing tho snme purpose, ‘The bills of Messrs. Mogznison and Parse are substantially the same, Tho Mounison Lill provides fur an accumulation of gold in the "Treasury and National Banks equal to 30 per ccit of thy outstandling circulation of the nationyl ang of tho Lank currency, and when that point is reached then greenbacks are to cende to be n legel-tender for new contracts, and greenbacks mny Le redecmed in coln at the Treasury, Mr, Tavyse's bill seems to bo { confined in ity provisiong to requiring that ench Nationol Bavk shidl retain anl keep on | hand anuvually an amount of gold coin equal to f per cent per annum of jta circulation until it shall have obtalued a sum equat to £0 per cent in coin of its circulating notes, and that tho Heeretary of the Treasuvy, in like manner, shall annually set ashdo and retnin an amouut in coin equal to 6 per centof the ontstanding Crensury notes; and so much ot i the wct of last winter ns provides for specie | payments ou tho lst of Junuary, 1879, shall be repealed. We have repentedly pointed out the uncer- . talutics nud expeniveness of the plan of ro- suming specie payments by hoarding gold, ‘The objective poiut Is to bring the greenback to par, and (o keep it thero, ‘I'hie amount of gold to be on hand which will produce this reault is o watter of spoculation, snd only to bo tested by esperlence. Certain it is that whon the difference between gold and papor is one-half per cout in favor of the formier, it will disuppear from circulation and will af. ford a profit for cxportation. The lenst hazarlous of all measnres ia that subistantial. ly proposed by the Beoretary of the 'L'ruasury, to fix a dato aftor which greenbacks ehall cense to be a legal-tonder for now dubts, and the holders of the notos may receive for themn boods bewring & low rate of intereet, This would ennble the business of the oouutry to wdjust itaelf ta spocle values, aud on ke dar when greonbacksconsed to be o logal-tander all business wonld smoothly nnd without con- vulsion procco] upon the Nard-monoy basis, Tlio currenoy would then adapt itsolf to tho actual wants of Lusiness. 1f excossive, the axcesa would pass Into bonds. Tha National DBank circulation will have shrunk to the vol. ume which could be maintained at par. Tho groenbnoks, still o logal-tender for old dobts, would be wsed pelively for that purpose. Old debts would Lo cither paid in groenbacks or renewed by, ngreeniont of pare tics on the new valuntion, ‘There would be no loss of interest on gold, mo sudden chauge, no disturbance in the ralations of dobtor and eredifor, no expansion or contrac. tion, no nrbitrary addition to debts, and no interruption to Lusiness, Tho only differ- enco would bo tint the wholu canntry would ! open new hooks, fu which dollars would menn dollars, the old enrrency bowg taken as dollars or fractional parta of dollars, ag their valuo might happon to ba at the time. Any other plan must bring thoe country to specio paymenta abruptly, and with thoe deatroying and erushing cffoot of a withdrawal of tho wholo cusrency. 1f Mr, Monnsod would add to his bill a section providing that one-third of the green- backs may bo funded fu a low intorest-bear. ing bond, and that the nccumulation of gold should continue, tho greonbacks ceasing to Lo n legal-tender for now contracts, he wonld rotain tho bost parts of the two schemes, and render tho work of accumulating gold moro promising of suceess, But now comes tho latest Democratic in. vontion, whioh is the bill introduced by Fen- ¥avoo Woop on tho subjeet of specio pay- ments, and which is said to bo & compromise measure ngreed upon by the Demoerstic lead- ers, Its principle is to do sway with all Na- tiopal Bonk curreney, and place tho whole business of furnishing currency cxclusively in the linnds of the Government, It provides for the issue of a4 per cent Loud by tho Govornment, exchangonble ot par in eurrency, including groenbacks and National Bank notes. The currency received for snid bonds is to bo cauceled and de- stroyed. Any person holding any of such bonds, by dopositing them with the Treosury Depart- ment, and on relinquishing all interest there- in, can receive * Trensury notes™ of denom- inations not less than two dollars, puynble on demaud at the Trensury or its branches,—tho notes to recite that their payment is aocured Ly o pledge of United Statvs bonds. Theso T'rensury notes are to be a legal-tender for all debts, publio and private, except customs duties and interest and principal of the pub- lic delit, ‘This is substantinlly Kerzzy's old schema of nn interconvortible currency,—the interest being placed at 4 instend of 3.5 per cent. ‘I'he holders of notes may return them to the “Tressury st nny time and receive an equal amount of bouds in exchange. 'That part of tho bill which makes theso bills payable on domand at the Treasury is somowhat obscura, in that it does not say in what they slall be redeomed, Itis true that it provides forn gradunl accumulstion of gold in the Trens. ury, but tho issuc of the notes and their re- demption on domand begins in July next. How tho Government, after issuing now logal- tenders in place of old ones, and redecining the now notes in gold, is to keop the lattor in cirealation, ia one of those difficultios which the bill does nob explain. The moln fenture of the bill, however, is to iucorpcrate upon our plan of Government o peper.money system As 4 pormanocney and, na part of that system, to abolish and prohibit the issue of bank-notes, The Gov- ernment {8 to bo a pepercurrency makor, pormanently, and to engnge in the often.tried and nover-suceessful attempt to float that currancy at par in coin. MERCANTILE FRAUDS, Tho fraud which was practiced by the con. fidontinl bookkeeper BeckwiTi upon his om- ployer Basnirr, by which ke mannged to so- cure $700,000 worth of tho Iatter's property, and numerous other frauds of o similar olinr ncter nlthough involving smaller amounts, nro beginning to attract considerabio disous- sion smong merchants in New Yorl, It is not pleasant for & merchant who knows hie is dolng o profitable business to contemplate tho possibility that he may wake up some morning and find himsel? bankrupt or on the varge of baukruptey through the operations of o dishonest bookkeeper, An expert book- keeper who is inclined to bo dishonest has immeonso advantages. In largo commercinl houses it Is impossible for proprictorstokeep track of all the financial details of the busi. ness, nnit the bookkeaper, therofore, not only keeps the financial records, but -hatidles the finunces, and often, ns in thocnse of BrcxwiTh, issues the checks andsignsthe receipts, or, if there be n cashier, thetwo mny bein collusion. It is easy enough for au expert bookkeoper to elter figures and make his books appenr perfectly correct all tho time that he is cm- bezzling, by overchnrges, raised ubecks, and other forms of dishonosty, so that to a great exteut tho merchant is at tho mercy of his boaklreeper, It is o little remarknble, howover, that merchanty in seeking to protect themsolves have not considered the question whether they aro paying moun suflicient salaries who hold theso very rvesponsiblo positions, A New York correspondent of the Qincinnati Gazette furnishes that papor with some very remarkably facts touching upon this consid. eration, 1o shows thint in Now York City clerks are miserably pald and bookkeopers no bettor, 1lo says: ‘The uumbor of nuw concerns opening with the New Year i8 very small, aud the uoverest ecouomy ls prac- L.

P ] TAE WANING ORESJENT, Forelgn dispatchen show that tho Austrian plan for tho future government of Turkey in Europe amounts practically to a protectorats by Austria and Russin. It will bo the sort of protection, too, that tho wolf gives the shogp-fold, that Narorroy IIL gave the French Republie, that our taril gives onr monufactures, The Turk will gradually Lo urgod neross .tho Balkous; the Christian provinces will be shnred between the iwo protecting powers; aod ero long the Greck crosa will raplaco the crescont in Oonstanti. nople, whilo tho Latin cross nnd the double- headed esglo wave over what isnow tho western part of Turkey in Earope. Tho Sublimo Porte is friendless, Tho threo powers which plucked tho earcnss of Turkey from tho lungry jawsof the Mus. covy Bear, in 185}, will nono of them atriko a blow now for tho sake of keep'ng barbar. ism In power north of the Bosphorus. The repudiation of tho Turkish debt has struck John Bull and Jean Crapaud ju tho seal of notional affections, tho pocket, and publio opinion in both is now hostile to any inter- fereneo. France, morcover, is too wenk to intorfera, and must save her ktrongth for the next round in the hereditary fght for the Rhine. Bardinia is no longer nu indepondont power, and Vicror EsaxNves is too busy in taking care of united Ttaly to tronble himself { over tho dismombermont of Turkey.

The Iaboring population of England has an unplensant way of colebrating Merry Ohrist- mns by gotting dirgustingly drupl. Some moralints have atiributed this to Dicmexs' gush in many books over tho oxtromo jollity and yoneral good-fellowslip of taking mtich moro liquor than is good for you. Whethar or not tho popular novelist hoa this sin on his i spectral shoulders, the fact of the goneral drunkenness is admitted. ThoLondon Zimes gravaly warns the English that naless Christ. mna “takos a somewhat moroe uscful and active turn, and so justifies its observanco to the world, it will not much longer hold its own.” So it scems that the Puritans, who probibited bearbaiting, not be. cnuso it gave paln o tho bear, but beoause it gave plemsure to the spoctptors, and who olso prohibited the observance of Christmns beesu=o it gave riso to *unscomly nud godloys mirth,"” are find. ing a tardy justitication for theiracts. Bear- baiting is gone, aad now Christmas iy threat- ened with o like fate. DBut as long aa thero are children,~nnd thero Beoms no present probability of a stoppnge of tho supply,—so long the Christkind, and Santn Claus, aud 8t. Nicholas will como down chimuoys and fill atockings ns vigorously as ever.
