Curious Fusions in Support and s Opposition. England Wants a Shipping Treaty. THE ROBESON INQUIRY. WASMINGTON, March 13, 1872. Exciting Debate in the House on the Pacific Mall Subsidy—Lions and Lambs Lying Dowu Together. The greater part of the day was spent by tho House in the discussion of the Pacttic Mall Steam: ship Subajdy bill, and so far as the interest mani- fested 1s concerned It was the field day of the ses- sion, There was an unusual display of rhetoric and high-sounding philippics, and the novel spectacte of @N earnest aebate, involving a subsidy of $1,000,000 to & s.eamship company, with the leader of the House, whoa few days ago sounded an alarm tor the Treasury, the dolorous notes of which have scarcely died away, striking hands with Mr, Brooks, of New York, in favor of the measure, while Messrs. Butler and Wood joined their voices against the pro- posed “squandering of the people’s money.” Mr. Garfield, who frowns upon all appropriations Not considered in his committee and reported tn his bill, ,eloquently sustained and urged its pas sage, and Mr, Kerr as loudly denouncea it On the one hand, the great need of encouragiug American commerco and the opening of vast commercial operations with Ohina and Ja- | Dan were dwelt upon; on tne other, the interest of the people was a/vocated, and the building up of monopolies as vigorously decried. Each side was earnestly enlisted in the weifare and advancement of the workingman, and offered each his plan as the panacea for every ill, Mr. Brooks, of New York, for once drew applause from the repubitcan side of the House, and when he closed his eloquent appeal for aid to American commerce in tne waters of the Pacific he was loudly cheered. In spite of the efforts of the Chairman of the Committee on Appropria- tions to get a vot on the amendment, the commtt- tee rose, and another day or two will probably be ‘spent in consideration of the subsidy question, This is the entering wedge for the many subsidy schemes now before Congress, and if it is success- ful, tne lobby cormorants will vigorously push things the rest of the session. The subsidy steals will be made of as great profit to the lobby and loss to the Treasury as the land grabs have proved, if Congress can be induced to listen to the appeals of the Steamship Rings. 3 England and a Shipping Treaty—An English Emigrant-Caring Law. Tt 18 sald in official circles that the efforts of the British government to induce the Ualted States to enter into a shipping treaty are not likely to succeed, England has refused to be bound by any general maritime treaty up to this time, and now that she has gained the supremacy of the seas she seeks tO perpetuate her power by the force of treaty obligations.

One of the persons referred to gave her a ailp of paper on which was written the name of “Charies Thompson,” to whose order it was understood tat the sum of $2,500 was to be paid, alter the amount ot the appropriation was 1éve.ved by the poeta from the Comptroller. When Miss Jones return to New York #ne reported to general terms to the trustees what had been dove, Her act was ratified May 2, 1871, Mrs, Appletou, one of the trustees, Voting in ihe negative. Miss Jones further testified that after the money Was received from the State she paid over in cash at various times to.a Inessenger purporting to come “Charles Thompson” the sim $2, 5 When asked why this was done she sald that though she considered ‘Charles Thompson’ and his associates a3 sharpers, yet she regarded their claim as @ debt of honor, “Soe had some writ- ten messages irom Thompson, Which she subse. quently destroyed. eccipis were supplied to her purporting to be signed by bim, which are now in the possession of this Board. The most rigid examipation failed to disclose who “Charles Tnomp- son’ 16. Noone of the trustees knows him, Miss Jones swears that she coujd not tdenity him. he appears to believe that the name is fictitious. Her attention was called to the fact that grave sus- eect Would naturally rest upon her own good faith, but she persisted in her story, however im- probable ‘it may appear in all its parts. Tnere 13 some reason wo believe that HER ACCOUNT CANNOT BE IMPLICITLY TRUSTED. She swears that sne only asked for $5,000, A pe- tiliod to the Me een th @ copy of Which was subs sequently exhibited by her to tue Commissioners, asked Jor more. There are other grounds for su: Dicion exhibited in the evidence herewith 81 mtited. Mrs, Appleton thinks the amount asked tor by thre Poard was $10,¢00. One portion of ner ac- count is clear. ‘The sum of $2,600 has disappeared from the treasury, witn nothing to account tor its disappearance but tue vouchers of “Charles Thomp- son.” ‘The only resources of the institution since its or- ganization cousist of the appropriauou made vy the State and four hundred and thirty dollars ($430) obtained from private contributions, All of this last sum was subscribed before tae State appro- priation was received. Ine evidence further shows 1a other respects INSTANCES OF BXTRAVAGANCE AND ILL MANAGR- MEI , not to say of bad faith. ‘This appears from the following statements: ‘The enure receipts are $430 from donations and $7,500 from the State. The whole amount is $7,930. Deducting the amount pald to **Chartes Thompson,” there remains $6,430, Of this amount there had been further patd out of the ‘treasury the sum of $3,414 21, leaving a balance on February 1, 1872, of 0. Some of the items of this expenditure are re- markabic. It shuulu oe premised that this being an institution for rendering gratuitous medical aul to the clasves of limited pecuniary means, there was every reason why It should be located in the quarter ol the city where tliese persons would be found, Propriety would dictate that the rooms, while suitable, should be inexpensive, and that the furniture should not ve costly, but plain, The num- ber of patients only required few and cheap books for keoping accounts and making necessary entries, while surgical operations were not of such a char- acter as to require costly tustraments, ‘Notwithstanding these *OBVIOUS REMARKS, : every one of these rules were violated by this Board. Instead of taking rooms on one ap the ave. nues, such as the Sixth or Ninth, in the vicinity of their patients, bgif bired # banding In a quarter of the city where there are handsome private resi- dences, and witch itself is of @ kind ta which the poorer class of people would hardly think ot resort ing. They might Nave ootained suitable rooms on au avenue for $76 & mouth, They patd for an un- suitable building $1,500 per annum, So in the matter of iurniture; the managers expended $00 43 for carpets, sofas and chairs, Which were extravagant and inappro- priate for the jurposes of the jnstitte PI Uon. Again, tor surgical iostraments and appit- ances they expended nearly four Hundred doilars. Une hunared dollars of this sum have been lata out since February 1 (without the order of tne House Physictan) for instruments for uiseases of the eye and ear. They appeared to the Commissioners to be sufficient for an eye and ear infirmary. Tne most wastetul extravagance has been exhibited in the purchase of official books. ‘iey were bought at @ cost of nearly four hundred dollars, The books Were inspected by the Commissioners. They fully agreed With the House Physician ia the opinion that (nis expenditure was WHOLLY WITHOUT WARRANT AND UNNECBSSARY, -Thia witness, Dr. Greene, tested that another dispensary with which she Was cunnécted, havin; 2,000 patients annually, used buoks costing unly $ oH 3. nb “1 aOWNG be Slaved that these expenattures werd incurred for a lite more (hap the AUMver Of two hundred patient Der 9 fl "ORS sry 1 ve il a unfair deduction that the first wrong. f t Niéat of $2,600 to ‘“Cnaries Tuompson’* may have led to thé subsequent wastefuiness. Lt ts evident that one or more in the mansgement of the society's irs had the view that the lunds sup- Diied by the State it be expended in a free and of-haud manner without any responsinility. Such pergons seem to have thought it was tlie money of the society to laviah as they saw fit. Hus not the \me come to impress upon those charity boards that their funds are received by them upon a sacred trust, and that they are nenceforward to be held to a rigid accountaoility for their proper em ployment?
