-Ncs~rs English, Foley and Bright, al
Illustration men, have been charged with
cheating the government in land operation.
rhe following letter from the Evening Post,
tells how leconpton WAS carried.
WAsuINGToN, APHlL -. ISIS.
Ordinarily, the late I.and-o.iiee utflir. in
which Bright, English and Foley have par
ticiptld, might be allowed 70 pass without
particular c.nsure, upon the principle de
H5iAjaas non carai la; but under the circum-
stances, the transaction was a fraud which
must necessarily be attributed 10 more dis
honest motives. Some time ago it came out
IN the western papers that land warrants u
an amount OF more than 5000 acres Were en-
tered at the Land-oliice at Dubuque or Bur
liugt3n in one day, all in favor Of Jesse D.
Bright, acting senator from Indiana.
More specific information shows that
Bright had partners in the speculation, to
wit, Mr. English and Mr.. Foley two waycr-
ing and apparently fekle-minded ant-Ie-
compton democrats, from the same state as
Mr.. Bright. The junior organ here, the
Star, admits that these warrants were sent
out from here by the Commissioner Of the
Ianl-ollcc, by Mr. Bright. What was the
consequence? From the moment when
Bright warrant and his list OF designated
lands arrived, those lands were taken out Of
the market, and though the act OF entry
might not have been perfected for six months,
no actual settler, or any number of them,
could enter an acre Of that tract. The organ
jus;iiics the act as legal, bat nobody believes
that, had not this trio OF spectators been
members Whose votes il WAS necessary u
have. they would have been thus allowed to
step between the settlers and their rights
They would have been compelled to e. them
szIFes. or send agents, and to take their
chances with the spftlrrs in upttiur theS.
lands. Upon the whole there is little doubt
that this extraordinary privilege was accord
I'd to these men as brioe. Whether Foley
and English would have been converted to
Loc0mptonism without the brib. is a ques-
ton they may discuss With their constta-
ents II.

Mr. EDITOR:
In your issue of May 7th, | noticed COM
munication signed "A Friend of Temper
ancc." The article as far as it went was
well enough; it showed the rumselers in their
true light, and also the manner in which
they should be treated but the writer seemed
to have forgotten another class of indiyidu-
ais who deserve the scvcrest ceusure from
every friend of Temperance. The class to
which | refer may very properly be deSisna-
ted the ''rumsallers' acc1mplic-s II mean
the masters and own7rs of the vessels that
bring the liquor to this vllass. 1t is well
known that il they positively refuse to bring
intoxicating liquor, it would b. very diff
cult. if not impossible. for the rumsclicrs to
rot their supplies; and yet. some of these
men who thus lend their all to parpetuate
the accursod traffic, cry out the loudest for
Others to spill the rum. How dare they
thus insult common s1nse? The only excuse
they can make, is that frcishts are dull and
they cannot afford to have their vessels i4!e'
and if the liquor is split, more will be order
cd-their vessels will have business, and
they care not how much misery they occa-
sion, 50 long rs their business is protits-
