The Proltibition candidate for Governor of Ohio is a German named Schumacher. Last year the l'ost-officc Department was uot only self susts ining but had a surplus of 11,500,000. This year the surplus is estimated at 12,500,000. Ir is generally understood that the bank failures that have recently ocrured in various parts of the country are attributable, in nearly every ease, to local causes and in a majority of instances to illegimate speculation. An abstract ,ol‘reports made to the Controller of the Currency indicating the eouditiou of the National banks in the United States at the close of business on June 22 shows that the number of such banks ou tlie date mentioned was 2,417. The total resources of all the banks amounted to $2,3(14,833,122. The next Republican State convention of New York will be managed by stalwarts. They have called the convention on the anniversary of Garfield’s death, for which they have a tender rememberance, and in a village of 1,500 inhabitants. It will be impossible, it seems, to find room for very much enthusiasm within the routines of the village of Richfield, so that a convention really seems superfluous.

The demaud for a government postal telegraph is becoming well neigh overwhelming. Very few papers are opposing the movement. The people can not understand why the government isn’t just as capable of managing the delivery of correspondence by telegraph as bv the slower process of mails, and they are becoming anxious to have the experiment tried, The next congress will he called on to start the movement. Perhaps tha only practical tfav in which Mormonism can be stamped out in this country is for the Gentiles to crowd into the Territory, as settlers until they outnumber the Mormons. That was the way Slavery was prevented from gainiug a foothold on Kansas soil. Had the settlers from the South exceeded those -IVom the North in numbers, Kansas might have been and probably would have been admitted to the Union as a slave State. Eight million acres of government land was taken up by settlers in Dakota last year, according to ti c report of the Land Commissioners at Washington. As no person fcan take more than 320 acres (a pre-emption or homestead and a timber claim), this means that not less than 25^000, and more probably 35,000 fanners located in Dakota during the fiscal year ending .Tune 30,1883, upon government lands alone, without taking into calulation the millions of acres sold from the railroad laud grants. The 10th of November will be the four hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther’s birth, atnd in many parts of Germany ^preparations are already made for celebrating this event. Several statues or monuments are in course of preparation, or else are to have their foundation stones; laid oh that day. Ono of these is to be at Kisleben. the famous doctor’s birthplace ; and either ^Emperor William or the Crown Prince is expected to uuvcil this statue. A fine edition of Luther’s works is also to be published this year. • The quadri-centennial of Luther’s birthday will doubtless attraet notice iu other countries; little, however, seems to be done thus far for its commemoration outside ot Germany._

Perhaps some of our readers have often been curious to know why the organs of protection never point with pride to Germany, where a tariff for protection has flourished for many years and where we might expect to, find the laboriug classes fairly wallowing in wealth and luxury. However, no allusion is ever made by these eminent triends of labor to protected Germany, and we may be par'doned for offering what seems to be an explanation of the curious omission. We quote from the report of Mr. Geo. L. Catlin, American Consul at Stuttgart: “To the comparatively well-paid 'American operative, artisan, or*mechanic it must seem all but incredible that hundreds of Women and girls should labor as they do here in the 6ld World for ten hours per day, week in anil week but; walking, many of them, ten miles or more to and from their work, and withal earning the miserable snm of 16.30 per month, wherewith to provide food, clothing, and shelter; or that _ expert weavers, with families to support, should, for |17 or $IS per month at most, toil for half of every twentyfour hours at their looms, with no hope of bettering their condition, even „ by the closest economy and self-de-nial.” This seems to imply that protection does not protect labor, and German labodstatistics are shunned fey American protectionists simply because they cannot be torU red into a comforting story.

It is the sheerest nonsense for the people of the United States to tax themselves to sustain a manufacturer who can not thrive in competition with the skill aud labor of the country or the world. The fifteen millions of independent laborers in this country are compelled to sustain themselves against all competition, and the nabobs who lord it over the other two millions must be fowled to do the same. Legislation for the protection of a privileged class is an outrage that will not be much longer borne by our people. _ The Rochester Union suggests: We detect a deep-seated desire on the part of several of our Republican contemporaries to make a present of Dorsey to the Democrats. The Union's advice to its Republican friends, however, is to keep him. It may be a hard winter! It will be recollected that the same editors who now seek to throw off Mr. I), did their level best to drive Garfield out of their party in 1873 on simityfc charges of corruption aud lying. Yet note how valuable he was to them some years later on! The moral is obvious—when you have a good thing, save it! Civil Service Befrm. The following are among the questions given to the applicants for subordinated positions in the government service hv the Civil Service Commission. School hoys and girts might find a profitable exorcise in trying to answer them: One-fift h of a barrel of flour containing 198?i' pounds was-lost, was given away aud % of remainder was sold for $7 59.

The New York Sun publishes another interview with ex-Senator Dorsey, in which he reiterates the story of how the Republicans managed the last Presidential campaigu. Mr. Dorsey’s charges may be summed up into thirteen statements, which can be verified and which will prove a very unlueky number for the grand old party in the next Presidential campaign. The following are the charges : First—vThat Sherman was betrayed at Chicago; that the pretended , surprise of Garfield’s nomination was a sham, and that it was the result of a prearranged plan. Second—That jealousies and anibitions appeared at the very beginning of the canvass, and showed themselves in the organization of the National Committee. Third—That it was at the earnest request < f Garfield, Gov. Foster and Gen. Arthur that lie accepted the place of Secretary of the National Committee. Fourth—That the rich bankers of New York were so distrustful that they refused to contribute a cent until a peculiar organization, known as a Finance Committee, composed of these bankers, was formed. Fifth—He intimates that Garfield, Arthur and all the Republican leaders relied upon mohey to win the battle, and admits that a very large sum was raised and disbursed by these bankers. It was purely a money campaign.

bixtli—lie asserts positively that Garfield bought the New York Stalwart's support by a positive promise to appoint. Levi P. Morton Secretary of the Treasury. Seventh—He reiterates the charge that the pockets of the New York bankers were reached through a promise of Garfield’s to allow a syndicate of them to refund the government bonds. Eighth—lie asserts with great positiveness that a bargain was made between Garfield’s representatives findJay Gould and 0. P. Huntington, by which Garfield promised to secure the appointment of Stanley Matthews as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and the two capitalists promised one hundred thousand dollars to the Republican campaign fund. He asserts that this money was paid, was brought to him in Indiana by Mr. T. C'. Platt, and that he caused more than half of it to be sent to Ohio to be used by Governor Foster in the campaign there. Ninth—He asserts that more than $400,000 was taken to Iudiana by a prominent New York banker whom he names.. Thai this money was used ; there to carry the day. Tenth—He assorts that Garfield was most eager to have as much money. raised as possible, so eager that he made the blunder of writing the Hubbell letter, against his (Dorsey's) advice. Eleventh—He asserts that the vast fund raised, between one and two million dollars, was a corruption fund. Twelfth—He tells the story of the curious intrigues that led to the putting of James and McVeagli in Garfield’s Cabinet, and asserts that it was Garfield’s intention to remove them. Thirteenth—He asserts that Garfield was bulldozod by Blaine and a prominent New York editor into violating his promises to Conkling, and into appointing Robertson Colector of the Port of New York, without first having notified the New York Senators that such was his intention. But this bulldozing took the shape, of a threat to publish the details of the Stanley Matthews scandal unless Robertson’s appointment was made.

Erasures on the Treasury Bootes. [Sew York Sun ] One of the points made by Gov. Butler in the Tewksbury Almshouse investigation was that fifty-four erasures had been discovered in the account books, apparently to cover up frauds. Serious as /his charge is, it sinks into insignificance when compared with the mutilation, the erasures, the forced balances, and other falsifications in the books of the Treasury covering the long period of Republican rule. The exposures In tho Treasury were made by a committee of tho Senate upon the testimony of responsible officers, and upon the evidence of tiie books and • accounts themselves, as they still exist for examination. The Register of the Treasury is the official bookkeeper of tho Government. Section 313 of the Revised Statutes makes it the duty of the Register “to keep nil accounts of the receipts and expenditures of the public money, and of all debts due to or from the United States.” All the vouchers of the pu blic accounts and the warrants for their payment are filed in his office, and therefore the Register is alone 'competent to render an exact statement of the public debt and of the receipts and expenditures. Iiis official figures were never questioned nor interfered with in any wify until 1871. The Secretary of the Treasury had departed from the usage in making publications of tho debt. When his figures were printed .with those of the Register in the annual reports, differences of hundreds of millions appeared in the aggregates relating to the same items. 'The discrepancies provoked much comment at home and abroad. Mr. Boutweil then undertook to reconstruct the public accounts from 1835 to 1870, and to change the methods of Hamilton and Gallatin, which had been sucossfUlly pursued from the foundation of the Government down to the days of Grantism. The real object of this radical change lias, never been satisfactorily explained. The pretended object has failed to remove the suspicions excited by the condition of the books and the arbitrary action of the Secretary.

mo iuut Jii the Register's office for the public debt could not be made to agree with the figures of flic Secretary. To get rid of that difficulty the following order was issued: '•Tbkascry Department, Not. 24, 1871,1' ‘.‘Sir; 1 liave to request that the statement of the public debt ou the first day of January in each of the years front 1TSI1 to 1S42, inclusive, and at various dates in subsequent years, to July 1 1879, as printed on page 276 of the finance report for 1S70, may be omitted from your tables in the forthcoming reports, or else that it be corrected to conform to tabie H( South well’s) on page xxv. of the same report for the same year. Very respectfully, “j, II. Savii.ee, Chief Clerks “The Ilou. Joux Allison, Register of the Treasury.” The Register at .first objected to making in the reports for past years changes which the records of Ids office could not justify ; hut to retain office lte finally yielded, and henceforth the figures were “made vo agree. One example from the testimony will serve to show how this forced agreement was brought about. Dr. Guilford of the Register's office, who had prepared the debt statement for fifteen years, was examined as a witness : “Q.—I sec in a column headed Amounts to be Added to Receipts,' marked ‘B,’ $2,010,776.10, and another one marked ‘C,’ $1,000,000, and then another marked ‘D,* $3,274,051.00, making a total of $0,293,827. 79, which you say is ‘to he added to receipts.’ What is meant by that? A.—This is in accordance with the Secretary's report for 1871. Those amounts do not appear on our books, They are added in accordance with the Secretary’s order to harmouizc the t\vb, as is shown in the report'of 1871. "Q,—1 understand that thesp three items, amounting to between six and seven million dollars, do.not appear on your books? A.—7'Aty do not. UQ.—But are added here by order of tho Secretary? A.—Yes, sir.” This forced balance was made to order, without proof of any kind to excuse it. The accounts of public expenditures, of pensions, of the debt, of the revenue, of bonds and interest, and of other items, as stated by the Register on the vouchers, and as stated by flie Secretary arbitrarily, disagree by hundreds of millions of dollars.

xnv tjeuuic eomutmeciouuo uiai in nine great ledgers of the Treasury there had been two thousand live hundred and twenty-seven alterations, changes, and erasures, involving amounts from a few dollars to twenty millions or more. William Woodville, a clerk in the Treasury, testified that in the bcgluing of the war some of the Treasurer’s accounts were cut out of the books. “Q.—In how many mstancea? A.—Two; four leaves in one case anil live in the other. 1 can produce the books if you wish.” Mellon C. Hooker, custodian of the warrants in the Treasury, testified as follows: “The warrants No. 805, June SO, 1888, for $847,200,450.80, ami No. 047. June 30, 1870. for $540,700,511.05, do not appear on the Wee, neither have they been on the tiles since I have been custodian of the Warrants.’* Mr. Hooker also stated that warrants for 1870 from No. 921 to No. 947 Were missing, and that No. 919. Aug. 7,1809, for $297,945,900.90, has numerous scratches and apparent alterations on it, involving large amounts. The committee reported resolutions directing the Secretary of the Treasury aud the other heads ot departments to propose, at the ensuing session of iCongress, additional checks* for keeping the public accounts and money. But the resolution was never obeyed. No action was taken looking to reform. The truth'that lies .behind th? thousands of alterations and erasures on the Treasury book: will never be known to the people u til the Republican party is turned t fo£ office. •'* Louisville Exposition.
