Gala nothing about the gas fttér, Who, In the mere course of business, should have investi- ‘gated eo important a matter. The Chorpenning Fraud. The history of the atrocious fraud upon the government which Mr. Dawes exposed 80 completely in the House of Representatives on Monday is a subject of more moment to the country than the mere pecuniary less would Invest it with. It appears that this man Chor- Penning, a contractor who carried the mails from Salt Lake City to Sacramento, had re- ceived the fair equivalent for his service ‘according to his contract, but had managed, by ounningly devised lobbying, to secure, in 1887, the passage of o bill in both heuses of Qongress granting him $238,617 extra allow- now, and ir. July last another and similar bill, goouring him $237,017 more. The first instal- \ment was paid him, and the second would have been paid him but for the patient invest!- gation which Mr. Dawes has given to a sus- picious subject and the clear exposition which phe has made. The bills allowing these claims ‘were passed through the two houses without disoussien, the title being cautiously worded fo avoid suspicion and the engineers of the movement being anxious to have them passed as quietly as possible. The items of the extra allowances were made on the most flimsy Wwouchers, and the bill itself was ¢o constructed [that the Postmaster General, in paying the polaims, was compelled to accept these vouchers twithout question. Thus it will be seen how Wwery loosely legislation is conducted in our [Congressional halls, and how easy it is for ‘eunning rascality to get the better of pour honest, unsuspicious lawmakers, or law ‘executors, and to find accomplices among thoso per our less honest ones. This case of Chorpenning is no detached se, but it is one of a closely knit web of uds that may, for all we know, have rami- fications throughout all the responsible gov- ‘ernmental departments of the country. Frauds re epidemic. Usually the unearthing of one Mlscloses traces of two or three others. Our vernment and people are becoming rich, nd are beginning to take that careless leisure at has been a distinguishing feature of ealthier and older European countries Mor years. We are consequently less con- erned over the loss of money at the hands of udulent contractors, and are less apt in eur leisure to search such swindles out. This ia inviting fraud and putting a premium on ficial dishonesty. In the case of Chorpen- ing there is no actual dishonesty charged pon Postmaster General Creswell, but he as evidently guilty of negligence in not ‘eporting to Congress the actual character of he bill it had so inconsiderately passed. ‘he two houses of Congress were also ilty of negligence, and some members were loubtless guilty of downright collusion in the fraud. Negligence itself in such a matter is equivalent to open guilt. As for Postmaster neral Creswell, he should have been above uspicion, and yet the statement is made in the House that his law partner and associate— me Mr. Earl, who is also First Assistant ostmaster General—is actually the managing ounsel for Chorpenning, the pivot ‘about hom this fraud revolves, There is enough ‘ircumstantial evidence here to indicate pretty learly what a thin volcanic undercrust of ud and corruption and negligence the legis- ative and executive departments of the gov- rnment rest upon. President Grant owes it himself and to the interests of his party in 872, as well as to the interests of the whole untry, to have the case thoroughly investi- ated and the foulness in all the departments oroughly ventilated and cleaned out. While we take our text from this one in- wtance of fraud, we must bear in mind that pimilar transactions may have occurred or be now in course of oecurrence in every de- artment of the government. We may have loose dealings in the Treasury, weak and inane diplomacy in the State Department, or ‘wholesale and well-hidden frauds in the Reve- fue, just as we have the Chorpenning rascality in the Post Office Department. We know how efficient and unworthy is our navy, and ere may be similar rottenness in the con- erns of the army. We may never know how reak is our foundation until at some unex- ted moment we are compelled to call all ur resources to our aid. We were in just aan a predicament when the rebellion broke pon us. We thought ourselves strong, and fwe were tottering with weakness, France, twho was looked upon by all the nations of the globe as the great war power of them all, found in her hour of need to be a mere hell, made so by just such corruption and arelesaness on the part of her responsible isters ag we find indicated among our own yy this Chorpenning fraud. We may be into a war at any moment to find that four commissariat and our ordnance are all hwanting and that our soldiers are only on oper.

THE ANNEXATION CF WESTCHESTER. Arguments Before the Committee on Cities in Favor of Annexing Westchester to New York City—The People of the Lower Por- tion of the County Favoring. ALBANY, Jan. 31, 1871. This evening the Senate Committee on Cities sat in Senator Tweed’s room to hear argument from the committee of citizens of Westchester county in favor of annexing a portion of it to New York. Messrs. Herring, Niles and Davis were the spokesmen. They declared that a great proportion of the people of the lower portion of the county were in favor of the movement, if certain amendments, which the committee would at a future time suggest in writing, were embodied in tne bill. They heartily endorsed the general features of the bili now before the Legislature, but as some portions of the county were opposed ‘to the measure, they suggested that the pill be so fixed as only to {neimde that portion south of a line drawn from the lower end of the vil- lage of Yonkers to New Rochelle. The committee's arguments were quite exhaustive, but it was evident that they were unanimous as to the boun- daries of the territory proposed to be annexed. Judging from the questions Las Wanda by the members of the committee it would seem tbat the committee have some doubts as to the propriety of reporting in favor of the scheme, THE COAL MI-ERS’ STRIKE.

AMERICAN COTTON TRAD Herald Special Report from Havana. More Insurgents of Note Sur- rendering. Indications That the Revolu- tion is About n1>1, SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Havana, Jan, 31, 1871. There is now every indication that the end of the insurrection {3 close at hand, and that the strife, so long continued, in which so many lives have been lost and so much treasure expended, will soon give way toa condition of peace; that Spain will again have control over the ‘‘ever faithful island” through all its length and breadth. This information is based on the fact that the sur- render of General Porro, of which event I informed you a few days since, has led to the results foreshadowed in my despatch, which are that the surrender of many leading insur- gents continues, and that the work of pacifl- cation progresses rapidly. The most important event since the surren- der of Porro occurred yesterday, when Cap- tain General Valmaseda received a letter from Edwardo Machado, Secretary of the Cuban House of Representatives, through his father, in which the clemency of the government ts asked, Machado, after making the request, gives the following important information re- specting the condition of the Cuban Congress, He says that the House of Representatives has dissolved, and that the members thereof are looking after their personal safety, each of the members seeking safety for numbe one, The condition and whereabouts of several impertant members of the so-called Cuban gov- ernment are given in the same document. Don Miguel G. Gutierrez, Vico President of the Cuban republic, and his son, are wandering about in the woods in the neighborhood of Guaymaro; Tranquelino Valdes, a member of the House of Representatives from Cinco Villas, who is also seeking safety in flight, is in a most pitiable and forlorn condition, his body being covered with festering ulcers; his exact whereabouts is not known, but he will pro- bably soon give himself up, with the hope of receiving pardon. Many others will soon come in, when they are assured that the humane policy of Valmaseda is nota myth, but a reality ; that they may depend upon the same mercy and kind treatment that was extended to Porro and those who surrendered with him. “Kotive movements aro being carried on against those still in arms, and the Spanish troops are meeting with great success, the weather being favorable for their operations. The greatest confidence is now felt and ex- pressed in the early collapse of all that remains of the rebellion, The authorities aro san- guine, and not without good reason, that a short time more will witness the entire and complete restoration of the supremacy of the government, The Swatara at Santiango—Surrender of An- dren Dominguez, Perdomo, Captain Perez and One Hundred and Twenty-three Men— Lights of Filibustering Vessels Seon Of Vuelta Abajo.
