These facts are partly report- ed in another column, in letter from a cor. respondent in that place ; but we propose to state them here with some fullness of de tail. It is known that after the Legislature had adjourned frauds were discovered in the Sup- ply bill, As that bill was engrossed and tigned by the officers of each House and sent to the Governor for Lis action, it contained appropriations which had never been ap- proved by either House, but, on the contrary, had been rejected by both. One of these fraudulent appropriations contained in the engrossed 1 ill has already become notorious. It gave to WintiaM Wasson and Bema Brockway, both Republicans, the sum of eight thousand dollars as an extra compen: sation for their services as Canal Appraisers, The most noted exploit of these gentlemen while in office was settling what has been known as the Black River claims, These claims amounted to over half a million dol lars, and Wasson and Brockway under- took to arrange them in a sort of clandestine fashion just as they were going out of office. Their arrangement was annullod by their Democratic successors as wrong aod unjust to the State; but for their ser- ces in making this annulled settlement and in other matters, Wasson and Brockway have not been paid as much as they desired. An appropriation to pay them was insert ed in the Supply Lill by the Senate, but it was stricken out by the Assembly; and the Conference Committee of the two Houses agreed to leave it out. But when the bill, completed and engrossed, was presented to the Governor for his approval or rejection, this appropriation was contained in it; and, as our readers are aware, the final action of the Executive upon the bill was delayed ac cordingly. So much is alrondy known, h have not hitherto be even more important. addition to thi 80 But the facts n revealed a It appears that in appropriation to pay Was. sand Brockway, the engrossed Lill also contained an appropriation of eighteon thou- sand dollars to pay Brown and Beacn, lawyers at Watertown, for legal services rendered to the State in connection with these very Black River claims. Mr, BEact 4s the L'eutenant-Governor of the State, and Mr. Brown is his partner in businers, This appropriation to Brown and Beacu was « more fraudulent than that to Wasson and Brockway, because it had never been re ported tothe Legislature at all, and had never Leen included in any Dill that had appeared in cither House; and yet when the Supply Lill appeared in the Governor's office, this appropriation was in it, claiming the same authenticity and the same authority as all its other clauses! Who caused the insertion of this frauda lent appropriation to Bkowx and Beacut be- for engrossing of the bill and its signa ture hy the officers of the two THouses we do uot know. The only fuet upon that point which we have been able to ascertain is, that after the bill had been finally disposed of in the Senate, and before it came iuto the hands of the engrossing clerk, it was in the possession or under the control of Mr, Con neELIvs Conson, who held it for about half an hour. That Mr. Corson caused it to be altered we do not know, any more than we know t it was altered at the request of Lieut.Gov. Brac, or of auy of his friends. All that we have ascertained about it is, that when it went into Mr, Conson’s hands the Dill stood just as it had actually passed the Senate, and y engrossed and sig fraudulent appro well as that for Wasson and nd possibly nu it was ned it contained this priation, as Brockway, a some others. ‘These facts having become known to the Governor, we are informed that he sent for Beacu, A stormy inter view ig eaid to have taken place in the Gov ernor's room betw rand the Licuter the latter accompan.ed by some of his friends, What may have Lieut.Goy. n the Govern ant-CGovern been said or threatened at that interview we have no means of reporting; but after it was over the proper officcrs of the Assembly and the Senate were su to Albany by tolegroph, When they e d there w y of the Supply Dill prepared, froin hich the fraudulent appropriations were oniitted thus beon brought back to the state hit passed the Legislatur the Lill wes vigned by the officers of the two Houses 1 in that form reecived the signa ture of Governor also, This corrected bill thus si ned is now on filk pifice at Albany; but proper the or been dest nol draft of tho bill with the fraudulent insertions has yed, and so has the engrosse) copy first made, in which these fraudulent insertions were contained. We submit these facts to the public with. out further comment than to say that a system of legislation in which such frands are not only possible, but are actually car. ried almost to consummation, evidently siands in need of a thorough reform; and the men, whoever they may be, who dare thus to tamper with the authority of the State, and who, by inserting such fraudulent sections or clauses in a law, arrogate to themselves the power of legislating for the while people, deserve punishment of signal and cxemplary severity. oo The Ku-Klux Bill no Remedy for the Real Evils of the South. The Triune has recently published a let ter from a correspondent in South Carolina, in which a new aspect is given to the al leged Ku-Klux conspiracies in the Southern States, According to this writer, the real purpose of these combinations is to force the United States to annul the carpet-bag gov ernments by which the South has been so terribly robbed, and to substitute for them a system of military administration with offi cers of the army at its head. This design is expressed in the Z'rivune ns follows: “* There will be a hundred outrages for every one you hear of now. uotil the United States will be obileed to put cs under military government That is what we wont. The army officers are honest men and wi ‘steal (rom ize with ye white people® nt the North generally believe that the dis in the Bouth arise from a hatred of the national Govern- ment * That's a mistake,’ be replied. «We don't Waut any trouble with the General Government. We have had enough of war, sad we want peace; but we can't sit still'and wee a pang of tiieves, suse tained by a horde of ignorant niggers, take our property from os.’ £ Gnd this tobe the ceneral Sentiment among the white population. They de- Claro that they baye no desire to resist the Fe.cral outhority, and that their troubles all spring from bad State and local government. An intelligent man, who said be helped to fire the first gun on Firt Sumter and served through the war until Jounete surrender, coming out of the wreck of the Contederacy with no other property han a grey mule, talked with me the other day with u moderation than ly shown. Ie s white people of § ‘rolina would Congress Would remand the Staio to a territortal Condition, ond «end down good men from the North tw gove y could have a military gov eruiuent, co LO One Would object, for notuing co as bor asa frag.” This feeling is natural and not without justification, Most of the intelligent, upright citizens of the South—we mean those who were born and reared there, and who lave had experience in public affuire—are dis franchised by reason of their sharo in the rebellion; while thelr States aro governed for the most part by ignorant negroes and imported white robbers. Tho disfranchised men have no voice in the legislation or the administration, but they are not exempt from paying the taxes, Thus they euffur from evils which they are powerless to pre- vent. If the States could be remanded into fa territorial condition, or put under the con. trol of military officers, this clase of citizens would lose nothing, for they would have just as much political power as they have now ; while they would gain greatly by the superior cheapness and honesty of the terri- torial or military administrations. But however desirable it might be to these disfranchised citizens to have their present State governments abolished, and to be put under the control of territoral or military governors, there is no means of gratifying their wishes. The Carclinas, Florida, Arkan- sas, Louisiana, all the Southern States, are now fully in the Union, possessing equal rights and privileges with the other States. Whatever frauds and villainies may be per- petrated by their carpet-bag governments, Congress has no power to interfere. Sv long os the State authorities a republican form, they may continue their robberies and their crimes, and the nation ean do nothing to correct them All that is in its power is to pass an act of complete amnesty, removing the political disabilities of all who were engaged in the rebellion, and enabling them once more to participate in the control of their States, There is no authority anywhere by which Congress can overthrow a State govern- ment and put a territorial or a military gov ernment in its place. Nor does the Ku-Klux Force bill, from which these discontented Southerners appear to hope #0 much, offer them any remedy. Indeed, it was not passed with any such inten- tion, Its sole object is to enable President Gant to send troops into the Southem States to dictate what shall be done in the elections, under the pretext of putting down the Ku Klux, It is nothing but an election eering device, It may control the elections, but it will do nothing to abate the outrages of tho legalized banditti that have taken go many of the Southern States by the throat, and are plundering their people without let or hindrance. ———————_— Poverty as a Social Problem. id be overmmcut of ignorance, indipence, and preserve In a recent communication to the Literal Christian, Mr. Perern Coorer says that it has been ascertained by the Citizens’ Associ ation, of which he is the President, that 5,000,000 are annually expended in this city for diferent charitable and_philanthro- pic objects ; aud yet he goes on to assert that this immenso sum is used in a way to make it productive of quite a6 much harm as good, It superinduces aud masses together th: very poverty which it attempts to relieve, The reputation for liberality which it has created for New York has brouglt hither thousands who came to share in the bounty of the city, and who remain a6 a permanent burden on its resources, Unless means are taken to counteract the evil, it will become chronic and perpetual. He therefore recommends, instead of the preseat system, the establish ment throughout the country of labor Lu reaus, Where laborers seeking employment and employers secking laborers may be brought together, and thus the great foun tain of poverty, the want of work, be as far as possible cut off. Mr. Coorrn’s personal open-handedness is too well known for the reply to be made to lim—as it has sometimes been made to others who have expressed the same views— that he is mercly making an excuse for not riving anything for the rolief of the poor at all. The Cooper Union, on Astor place, is a standing witness that he can part with his money for a charitable purpose, not in litt driblets, but in sums that to most men seen colossal, His utterances on the sabject must therefore be taken to express the convictions of an honost mind, sincerely desirous of pro motlng the welfare of hunny contradict popular impres j and if they ons, they should, for that very reason, receive respectiul con eidoration, The simplost and mot obvious method of THE helping thé poor is, of course, to put ono’ hand im one’s pocket and givo them the money requited to provide for their wants at the moment. The sentiment that prompts Puch an act Is so good, and the pleasure arising from its gratification 60 pure, that it is difficult to discourage it without seeming to be harsh and cruel. But yet, like a fond parent's indulgence of a child, this momen- tary satistaction is outweighed in a pradent mind by the evil consequences of which Mr. Coor speaks, There is in almeg? ing something so demoralizing to the ro cipient, it so kills his industry and self. reliance, and go fosters idleness and thrift- lossness, to say nothing of worse vicos, it is a serious question whether, on the whole, it would not be better for the world if it were altogether abolished. Of course some innocent and helpless people would perish; but, on the other hand, a vast army of worthless and undeserving ones would be compelled to go to work, and become use- ful members of society instead of an incum- brance on it. This Spartan remedy ia, however, not like ly to be applied until men aro either very much better or very much worse than they now are, Tho best that can be done is for every person possessed of benevolent im. pulses to use pradence in gratifying them, and make sure that he is not assisting to in- crease the evil to which Mr. Coorsn calls attention. Let him ascertain beyond a doubt that tho poverty which appeals to him is the involuntary result of misfortune, and not the natural result of misconduct, and govern the promptings of his heart accord ingly. This will prevent his doing any harm; and if in addition he wants to do posi- tive good, let him adopt the principle of Mr. Cooren’s recommendation, and provide em: ployment by which the objects of his benevo- lence may put themselves beyond the neces: sity of making further application for such aid, — Civil Service Reform. In his annual message to Congress in De- cember Jast, President Grant made the fol- lowing emphatic declaration: * Always tavoring practical reforms, I respectfully call your attention to ove abuse of love ing, Which would like to ee remedied by this Con Frees, It J @ reform in the civil service of the country, Lwould have it €o bes ond the mere fixing Of the tenure of office of clerks and emplosees, who do not require ‘the advice and consent of the Bente’ to make their aproimtn ents complete. would have it govern not the teaure, but the man- ner of making all appointments, ‘There 1s no duty Which 0 much embarrasses the Executive and heads of departments # that of appointments ; nor is there any sock ardtons ond thanklesa labor tmposed on Representatives as that of Snding onstiinents. The present system does hot secure the best men, and o'ten not even At wen for public place, ‘The elevation and purification of the civil service of the Goverument will be hailed Sith ayprovel by the wuole people of the Uniteu ates." In accordance with these ideas, Congress at itslast session gave the President author. ity to establish regulations for the appoint ment of men to civil offices under the Gov ernment, and for their dismissal, and to pro- mulgate the same as part of the law of the land. Congress also authorized him to ap- point a suitable Board to “ ascertain the fit- ness of each candidate in respect to age, health, character, knowledge, and ability for the branch of service into which he secks to enter.” Congress also appropriated ten thousand dollars for the expenses of this Board. Thus the whole subject of civil service re- form is put into the hands of the President If he wes sincere in the language which we quoted above, he will hasten to embrace have the opportunity, and to carry out this reform. It is true that it may interfere very scriously with the unscrupulous and wicked use now made of the appointing power in every see tion of the country, with a view to secure delegates to the next National Convention of the Republican party favorable to Grant's renomination. But that is a consideration which a man of elevated mind and noble patriotic views ought to despise, in compari son with measures that will secure honesty and efficiency in the public service. - —— The case of Mr. Tuomas Eanx, a promi nent citizen of Worcester, Mass., whose arrest for kidnapping his children from the custody of his former wife in Salem was given by telegraph some days ago, is ® peculiar one, Mr. Eante a few years ago brought a suit against his wife for divorce, on the ground of infidelity, but was un- able to sustain the charge, He soon after went to Europe with his oldest son, leaving his three younger children with their mother, On his re- turn Mrs. Earte with the children removed to Salem, and Mr. Eanze ultimately procured a di- voree on the ground of desertion, Shortly after ward he married again, and, gaining possession ‘f his ebildren, removed them to Worcester.

In this the salaries of tho Indictary and of the State officers, the reguiar expenditure for State pricons, and other established State institutions are incladed. The Sup- ply bill is @ eupplementary appropriation or de- Aetency bil!, and cannot in the nature of things be completed and passed at an early period, an it is lorgely mate up of the incidental expenditures of the Legislature itself; pay of ite officers, contingent upon length of service, and such printing and other work a8 each Legislature may order up to the end of the session, All items of appropriation not regulated by the Constitution or statutes of the State, bat made by each Legislature for itsel’, with the exception of charities and the care of the canals, which are provided for in separate bi entor into the Sappiy bill, and swell it into. ver; Hence, it i# in tois bill mn the State urtiily seek to effect their parpose, and a hich ecree of Vigiiauce is required to gaard the bill against. the introdaction of iinproper items when It ison its passage, and to prevent its being tanivered with by dishonest persons when in the clerk's desk or in the engrossing roum, HOW THY BILL WENT TuROvaM, ‘The bili of this year wi prepared by the Assem- bly Comunitt of Wars and Meang, of which Mr, Jacobs of Kings is Chairman, liow care.nlly may be judged by the fact that scarcely a sinele ttom in the Dill us originally reported was struck out or re- duced, although In Ue cour-e of its passage many iten # Were increased in amount and many new ones added against (ie strenuous efforts of Mr. Jacobs Wi enthe bili went to the Senate many additions Now the Hi Cot Go n were made to tt, Among others an uppropriati n of $8,000 98 extra compensation to William Wasson ant B Brockway, Kepnbitean ex-Canal Aj praisers, Who Were removed from office soon aiter the teeinning of last year, and whose lurried ad Judie atton, Just a they were going out of office, of ertsin lafge claims tor canal camages pending ty fore them, by which heavy awards wero made against the State, crested a bid odor about the Capitol at the tine.
