the amount Of bail on the indictment fol

and on the other indictment at 500, 900,

French Importation of Africans

The London News confidently assert,
it as a fact, although Lord Clarendon has
not been officially informed OF it, that the
French Government has entered into g
contract for supply Of ten thousand Az
ricans for Martinique and Guadaloupe.
Ifthis be true, the first question tha
arises is whether the recent articles in
the London Times in favor OF such a
course being pursued by the British Gov.
ernment have been dictated by a knowl.
edge Of this movement, as in contempla.
tion on The part Of the French, or whether
on the other hand. the French have take
the hint from the Times. Louis Napo
leon is a man quite capable Of seizing al
idea and carrying it out, lie is just the
man Tor bold action, and loves, as all
Frenchmen, and perhaps, all men do, tc
take The initiative and claim all the merit
even where the idea is not entirely their
own. But in this case, the more prob.
aJle view is, that France has conceived
the idea and made he contract without
consulting England, This the Times has
louEd out, and not wishing John Bull to
get alarmed and break off the friendly re-
Ialions existing, has actually proposed
the same scheme to England. as favorng
the extension Of negro liberty. which
would be Otherwise Justly regarded as a
renewal OF the slave trade under another
name.

More Morgan.

The New Lisbon Buckeye Stale says
that:
Morgan, early in the year 1855, while
on visit TO New Lisbon, told some halt
dozen prominent citizens of this place
that "Breslin was a id rascal that
he knew he abstracted the State funds
and used them for private speculation,
and he threatened to expose the rascal
when he went to Columbus"
But friend Buckeye, instead of coming
back and erposing him, he came back and
did what he could to re.elect this same
odd rascal" to the office of State Treas
urer for ttoo gears more and to make it all
right and humbug the people and cover
up the defalcation which he knew existed,
Morgan got on the same ticket with him,
and thus they rode double through the
campaign, until the people drove them
both where the devil drove the swine. =

respondent OF the Journal OF Commerce,
General Elarney, the Indian exterminator,

guise the real design in concentrating the

This opinion is strengthened by the fact
that the troops are very slow in setting

dose, Under tHSaeES u that splendid
financier, DR.. Edward Smith, the work
progressed till the Republican party came
into power in January, 1865. How stood
the account ofthe these patriots when they
were called upon to surrender their trust
TO better and ADLER men? Let the records
testify.
The reports of the State House Com
missioners and the Auditor of State dis.
close the startling fact, that these Locofo-
co officials not only spent all of the $l75,,
600, but they actually left debt ofthree
hundred and eight thousand, one hun
dred and tpeaty Gve dollars and thirty
fire cents, behind them for their Re
publican successors to pay. Among
the appropriations for deficiencies, which
our friends were compelled to make, Or to
repudiate the acts of these Commission
ers. may be found one of Sl96, 237 (Stat
for 1856, p. 90, and Sl1, 1888. 80, (same
Statp %. This was so much State debt,
contracted by them without authority ,and
for which their party had made no appro-
priations. That atamount which they squan.
dered, necessarily entered into the sum
total of expenditures by the Republican
Legislature. The people have paid it in
their taxes. The corrupt party favorites
of Locofocism got all the benefits, while
the Republicans were obligded to foot the
bill. This is about the fair average spe-
cimen of the manner these men transacted
the business of the State during their con-
tinuance in office. Ofthis sum Of $685.
1856, so appropriated in 1856, the Au-
ditor of States report, Nov. Is, 1856,
shows that the snm of $249, 1871 has
been paid, The balance of the claims had
not been fully adjusted but the money has
been appropriated, and they will all be
paid.
Such is the treatment the tax payers
receive from the corrupt pro-Slavery dem
agogues of the Locofoco party. Now, let
the people contrast this with the acts of
the Republican State House Commission
ers. The Legislature which made these
large appropriations to meet the debts
thrown upon them by the discarded par
ty also made an appropriation of ninety
LhouSand dollars TO continue the work on
the State House for 1856. At the close
of the fiscal year the account stood thus:
