s"REroRM ''--We lay before our readers another of Amos Kendalls extraordinary letters, which should call forth one universal execratlon. The meanest sycophant is the most brutal tyrant. Such man de- serves to have around him but slaves. Those who know the man, understand the game he Is playing. Under the guise of reform, he is building up system of the most proaeate corruption. His purpose IS to surround himself with groyeIlng dependans-ready 10 do his will and prepared to cover over his abuses :; while, by artful arrangement of the duties of the office, he will place his subordnates instruments to be used or sacrificed as his interests may require. striking illustration of this be found in the ap- pontment of Charles K. Gardner as Auditor of the Department. The very man who, under MT. Bary's administration, responsible for the abuses and de- engagement of the accounts, is made the Auditor under Kendall! This is reform with vengeance But to the letter. Here 1t is:
