JAMES CORDON BENNETT, Frauds en the Gev: Immediate Action by the government, through the evasion or Don- ETOR, : Ma otebaande collection of th> tax on whiskey and othet JAMES CORDON BENNETT, JR,, articles, cannot fail to arouse the attention of MANAGER. the people to the utter inefficiency of the Secre- tary of the Treasury. The evil has reached such @ magnitude that Congress will be guilty of gross neglect of duty if it should not immeii- ately demand the removal of Mr. MoOulloch, and a thorough investigation into the ruinous mismanagement of the Treasury Department. His incapacity is costing the country some- thing like two hundred millions a year, and is fast bringing the republic to a state of bank- ruptcy. Should Congress be so uomindful of this startling fact and adjourn without demand- ing his immediate removal we shall probably lose another hundred millions between this time and the meeting of that body in Decem- ber. We shall find ourselves having a def- elency in the revenue and unable to meet the expenditures of the government, at the eame time the people are taxed to the limit of for- bearance, and at a time when there ought to be & superabundant income. The facts are so astounding that even the friends of the Seoretary cannot ignore them. One of our trimming contemporaries of this city, while attempting to expose some of the frauds in whiskey, tobacco and petroleum, endeavors to whitewash Mr. McCulloch. In the face of these revolations it speaks of his skill and wis- dom in managing the financial affairs of the nation, and tries to shift the responsibility on his subordinates and on President Johnson. But no forced apology or labored mis- representation can deceive the people as to the really responsible party. Mr. McCul- loch is to blame. To blame, we say, but that word is too mild; guilty is not too strong a word for such gross neglect of duty. Suppose a man at the head of any large busi- ness establishment should permit fraudulent agents and outside rascals to steal more than a third of his employers’ income, and bring them to the brink of bankruptoy, how should we characterize his conduct? We should say it was little short of being criminal, if at all, though the delinquent might not be reached by the laws. What is the difference between the case of such a person and that of the man at the head of the Treasury—of the financial business of the nationt None, except in the offence being magnified in proportion to the amount of the loss. Tho guilty manager of a busineas firm may los2 his employers ten, fifty or hundred thousand dollars; Mr. McCulloch has lost the people and government, whose servant ho is, hundreds of millions. Let us repeat the facts, which we have stated before, in order that the public may not lose sight of them. Sixty or seventy millions of gallons of whiskey a year are manufactured in this country. This must ve regarded as a low estimate when we consider that ninety millions a year were produced before the war. The tax is two dollars a gallon. The revenue from this article alone should be from a hundred and twenty millions to @ hundred and forty millions; yet according to present returns the amount will not reach twenty or thirty millions. In plain terms, Mr. McCulloch has suffered the govern- ment to be defrauded about a hundred millions a year on whiskey alone. Take the losses from other spiriis, tobacco, petroleum, and from all the rest of the frauds on the Treasury, for which the Secretary is directly responsible, and we shall find that his mismanagement costs the nation about two hundred millions a year. We confine ourselves here simply to losses in the revenue ; but if we look at the evils of his administration in sustaining the infamous national bank swindle, by which the people are defrauded of over twenty millions a year, and the industry of the country swallowed up by a monstrous moneyed monopoly, with all the other evils arising from his utter incom- petency, he will appear to be the most costly administrator of the Treasury that this or any other country ever had. Bat his weak apologists attempt to lay the blame on the President, on the Treasury agents, and on the rascals who practise the frauds. The President will be to blame if he does not remove the Secretary now that the facts are known to him—that is, if he has the power. At all events it is his duty to lay the matter before Gongress and to do what he can to stop such wholesale robbery of the government. The Secretary and not the President adminis- ters the affairs of the Treasury. We hold him responsible for the conduct of his agents or subordinates; for he selects them in the first place, can remove for cause, and it is his duty to keep a vigilant eye overall. He is inex- cusable. Then, as to amugglers, perjurers and robbers of the revenue in every way, there are laws to punish them, and if he did his duty in bringing them to punishment he would soon stop the frauds. It is all bosh talking about the high tax on articles being the cause of evading the Revenue laws, In other countries taxes on some of such luxuries are higher than with us, and yet they are colleeted. Why not here? Tt seems to us that Mr. McCulloch is more intent on managing the patronage of the gov- ernment in this vast Internal Revenue Depart- ment, as well as the national bank system, as a political machine, than be is for the interests of the Treasury or the good of the country. He acted with Chief Justice Chase in the organization of both, and while his political and financial chief has been on the bench he has worked the machine upon the same princi- ple and for the same object’ From beginning to end these men have shown a surprising combination of stupidity about financial mat- ters with a great deal of political cunning. We have now, however, reached a point in the ruin- ous mismanagement of our national finances beyond which endurance cannot go. Congress, as we said, ought not to adjourn without seeing that Secretary McCulloch be removed and that ® thorough investigation be made into the frauds upon the revenue and the management of the Treasury Department. The country will now hold that body responsible, and a fearful responsibility will rest upon it if it neglects its duty in such an important matter. BKOAVWAY AND ANN STREET.

Wo have before us a letier the war of secession. After the election of President Jackson the public mind was flooded by « variety of socialistic and agrarian schemes, most of which had been imported by Fanny Wright and by Robert Owen and his son Robert Dale Owen. Fanny Wright, after publishing in England an account of her three years’ tour in the United States, returned to attempt to found a colony of emancipated slaves in Tennessee, travelled throughout the land as a public lecturer. Her attacks on negro slavery and other social institutions attracted large audiences and led to the estab- lishment of what were called “Fanny Wright societies” Robert Owen, notwithstanding the temporary success with which his communist theories were practically applied at New Lanark, in Scotland, had felt constrained by Britain and try to found, at his own cost, a communist society at Rapp’s settlement of New Harmony, in Indians. Although this attempt proved an utter failure, and he returned in. 1827 to England, yet his ideas became not only @ congressman, a chargé d'affaires at Naples and a spiritualist), and the ideas of Fanny Wright, excited much discussion in America, and even led to nominations by an agrarian party at Tammany Hall, as well as to the formation of acores of communist societies, nearly all of which speedily and wretchedly failed. Robert Owen insisted on the absolute equality of all rights and duties and the abolition of all supe- riority, even that of capital and intelligence. But with him and his son, and with Fanny Wright and their followers, social reorganiza- tion was merely a sentiment, a vague desire for human amelioration. disciples of Charles Fourier to proclaim him as the discoverer and demonstrator of science of society, the flower and consumma- tion of all other sciences.” Fourier’s glittering generalizations, and his assumption of the char- acter of universal social philosopher and lezis- lator, and his magnificent a priori speculations as to the formation and propagation of worlds, and the future destinies of humanity, attracted considerable attention in France, England and disciples bailed him as a new Messiah, with . the cry, “Great is Fourier, and Brisbane is his prophet!” Greeley won his only claim to the NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JivLY 15, 1887. “h India Telegraph Company ig ma‘ine efforts to | tions worg te bo distam?ed- Mr. Brisbane | degree to learn that their most honorable sccomplish this, and has reasons to believe it | “ thousht the question migits be andwered Bly ) dignity is that of public servants, and that their years from now, but for present purroses he | firsi duty is civility. would reply No.” But the trath is he might} We publish today « letter from Long have rep.ied that, without waiting é'ty yoars, | Branch offering bouquet of animated Mozeor street has already carried eemes of bis | flowers, such as Grandville used to be peculiar theories into practical operation...

Quite a lively riot took piace yesterday at Elm Park, Staten Island, which, had it not been for the fortunate Ciroumstance that. the police force on hand at the time was insufficient to cope with the rioters, might have resulted in the severe fracturing of certain Teu- tonic craniums, if not im the sudden ‘taking off’ of a the allied troops, owing to the miserable management of the generals commanding. The quicker the Paragusyan war is closed the better for the La Plata valley and Brazil. The conquest of Paraguay, if it were possible, would be the greatest misfortune to the allics, for then would commence a long and exhaustive war for the spoils. One reason that the contest lags so is the jealousy that already exists between Brazil and the Argentine Re- public; and it has at length been determined by the Argentine statesmen that they should do all they possibly can to withdraw from the league, and leave Brazil to fight it out alone. In success they see future war and the over- shadowing of the La Plata valley by Brazil. We are prepared to hear at any moment that the struggle bas closed ; that Paraguay, despite the secret treaty to overthrow her, has come out victorious, and that the old and natural enemies, Bragil and Buenos Ayres, will again assume their former positions in the contest for the most valuable valley in South America— the La Plata.
