How LEooMPToS WAS PASSED. as
tonishing change, says the Detroit Advert
ser, that came over the minds of sundry
Democratic members of Congress who for a
long time resisted the Lecompton swindle in
every possible shape, left no doubt on the
public mind that this change was the result
of direct bribery-in palmer terms that
they We're bought, as negroes are bought at
the soutn-by this Administration. Facts
are daily coming to light which conclusively
prove the truth of these rumors. A short
time since we gave the proof that Owen
Jones, of the Fifth Pennsylvania District, had
a sub tantial reason for changing his opposi-
tion into an approval of the Lecompton
fraud in the shape of a contract for furnish
ing the Washington Water Works with five
thousands tons of iron pipes.
The fact has since leaked out that James
L. Gillis, from the Twenty Fourth District,
and j. A. Ahl, of the Sixteenth District, both
also of the Pennsylvania, had an equally
substantial reason for changing their opposi-
ton into friendship. Ahl's brother received
a contract for supplying the Utah army with
three hundred mules at S195 each, which
could have been bought for $780, by which
he cleared $4,000. lie also had an order on
Russell d Majors, the general contractors for
supplying the army, for two hundred more,
on which he made S35, 900, making $S7 900 in
all. clear profits. AS his Congressional broth.
er was joint partner in the transaction, the
price he received for his vote was $43, 500.
This would have bought 81 better men in any
Southern slave mart
Mr.. Giles received his payment directly, in
the shape of Russell & Majors drafts. As
their contract amounted to nearly ten millions
of dollars, upon which they made not less
than thirty three per cent, they could afford
to contribute literally towards the purchase
of marketable members of Congress, and it
is said they did pay liberally-not less than
one million of dollars, in the shape of small
drafts mostly in the sums of $4,000, on the
War Department Some of these drafts found
their way into the hands of Mr.. Gillis coin
eident with his change on Lecompton, as we
are assured by the Gazette, upon his return
from Washington. There is no doubt that
he received the price of several good fat
slaves" for his VOTE Grand Traverse Herald
