1t is because it is the fruit of the sys-
tenn, that we fad that the membersdab-
bling in this corruption, are ofthe Black
Republican school. There is nothing in
tneeoreed fythe party, that fcrbids its
members from granting the public mon

calities or corporations, to book publish
ers or to speculators. It is indeed one
of the pretences of that party to "foster
enterprise" to promote internal i'm
provements," to encourage national un-
dertakings," and to do everything with
the public money, which may promote
the general welfare" Privileged thus
by his party creed to grant indulgences

Hon. R. johnson testified, among 9th

before the adjournment of the session of
the present Congress, while happened
to be in the House of Representatives,
Mr. o. B. Matteson inquired, where the
President of the Des Moins Co. was ?
1 told him thought he had left the
city. He then expressed very great sur
prise, and said he must come back that
he was very sorry to tell me-. but such
was the fact that there was from 20 to
so Members of the House, who lad as
sociated themselves together and pledged
each TO the other not to vote for any law
or resolution, granting money or lands,
unless they were paid for it He said
they were set of d-d scoundrels, but
there they were aud nobody could get
anything of this sort through without
them, and that johnson must have here

John Stryker, of Rome, N. Y, Di-
rector and member of the Executive
Committee of the Co., testified that he
made draft in favor of Horace Greeley,
for 81, 900. Itwas retainer for coun-
sci aud advice or aid of procuring the
passage of the bill for the benefit of the
Company. It was to be used entirely
at his own discretion. The witnesses,
three weeks ago, met Mr.. Greeley in
New York, and he told him that he had
received the money, but that he had no
personal interest in it.

of the mort eIersetic character denouncins the bill
and stating that if carried out it would result in the
moot disastrous c. psequeDces and could be considered
i1 no other light than as public calamity; and thai
they would take all honorable measures TO prevent
the Of an act rsught with such pernicoua con-
sequences to the sh property and business interests
OF our ctzens; ana concluded by calling a meeting
Of citzers to hight at the Town Hall TO take lnne'
date action.
TIE physicians Of our place have unanimously given
their statements to the effect that The heath OF tins
vicinity has sready suffered from this Cause, and tbs
tie further filing in would greatly jeopraize the

important amendments, when the report was

ing. A minority report 10 favor OF Prohibition
was presented by Senators Bradford, Cuyler and

the following reasons:
Fna: Because the minority believe that the sale
