One Of the few who have the hardihood
to charge the Republican party with ex-
trayagance, and corruption, and defaica.
ton, mud al other crimes in the political
calender, is the man whose name Is in the
BODY OF the remarkable receipt of which
we give copy below. He lives at Des
Moines, and partly owns, aud writes for,
the Lecompton paper there HIS bray Il
the loudest Of the herd, about these cav
full disclosures of Republican extrava-
cance. 1t viii be observed that intelli-
gent and well informed democrats have
very little to say about Republican expen-
ditnrcs, well knowing that the items
which have increased the expenses of the
government are those most loudly deman-
ded and insisted upon by leading demo-
Gratis in the State. But this African
Lecomptonite at Des Moines "gocs it
blind" hitting democrats just rs hard,
and actually without knowing it. His
training fitted him to appreciate the CO.
hesiye attraction of public plumber He
cnioyed the benefit Of j. ID. Eads' politi-
cal instruction, and is said to have done
the spread eagle parts Of Eads' Report of
1856 Rumor says he enjoyed the benc-
cit Of one of those famous "loans" in bank
able paper, so heartily endorsed by Eads.
He certainly has gone far down to find q
piece Of so called extravaganza. He has
assailed the small day wages allowed by
the Governor for ferrcting out and dis.
covering other frauds on the Schoo
Fund.
Now, very opportuncly, we have hat
placed in our hands, by gentleman ia
miliar with the facts, document (Which
we publish below,) that illustrates tn,
mans affectionate guardianship over tn,
State Treasury. His watchful love sur
passes belief. When he has an opportu
nifty, it actually reaches that pitch Of anx
iety where he win prefer to take all h
can put his hands on, rather than leave i
exposed, in the State safe, to the attack
Of others. Such virtue should not g
unrcwarded.

Senate, p. Is. Bradley, democrat, Chic
Secretary, and the author Of the "awfu
