A LithOgraph upon the Loan Question.
An interesting, amusing and instructive lit
tie ilustraticn-a sort of crayon sketch-has
been shown to us, which is an epitome of the
past actions, present positions, and probable
future attitudes of some of the most promi-
nent of the co-workers of the graaad to-Le-
ta@ed:tor Five Million Iniquity. We will de-
scribe it, although one glance would convey
a better idea of its merits than closely writ
ten column.
In the distance, the undulating bluffs give
the Minnesota feature that stamps unmistak-
ably the intended locality. In the foreground,
is section of Railroad ending abruptly on
the bank of slough, C'callcd the Slough of
Despond because of its impassability') with
guide post standing at the end of the track,
pointing backward and informing travellers
that 1T is only ten miles to the starting place /!
Beneath the track at glance we see explain
ed the cause and effect of the resiqmation of
the Primary Directors of the roads. Like a
stfing Vi Wlld geese, or in the most
approved Indian close-one-behind-t other
file, STOPPING with their hands upon their
knees, their hats jammed down over their
ears, they "back up" the road after the latest
style of bolstering. To make the position
less painful, and to call their attention from
the filthy place in which they appear to be
standing, each one has suspended from his
neck bag supposed to contain $4,000, (the
amount paid for the privilege of building the
road over their heads and to get them to re-
sien). upon which their eyes are intently fast
ened, seeming to know nothing of whit is
passing above ground. Over them, upon the
track which is laid over their heads, is a con-

A SONG FOR THE AAALhO"
PIERS.

There was a panic in the land
The worst is plainly DER;
And tho the dimes come slowlyyet'
lis sense is wanting more.
The world had turned to speculate
In corner lots" and Blocks,
Merchants put half their stock IN trade
Into the trade in Stocks.
In Railroad Bonds and Mortgages,
Too many fools had trusted;
TIL like an engine on their Roads,
The Companies had 'basted."
Up went their schemes, down went their Bonds,
Like NEwsoN's reputation;
The gp-Shot is, the world "shut down"
On Railroad peculation.
Yet though they 1eeced their creditors,
And broke their credit system,
Some sages think the State should come,
And, like an ass, assist 'em.
They think the State, despite the voice
OF ruined thousands spoken,
Can now a Railroad broker be,
And not at last be broken.
They urge US, yet in leading strings,
To let zeal be known,
And now, before We go alone,
To go monster loan.
ThsN say they've "made the State secure,
And got the swindlers fast;
But if We should so for them,
They'll gopher US at last.
For the "nett profits of the Roads,
It's that the law requires,
know some prophets of the Roads
Are false as common liars.
And when they've chiselled us of all,
Though they won't care a ''cuss,"
Our taxes, heavy grown. will wiring

measure? AS it is composed entirely of its
friends, perhaps it is intended to smother the
whole of the facts, as another committee
similarly constituted did, that was appointed
to investigate the price of the Extra Session
Of the Territorial Legislature
