The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1859-02-19

Last week it was discovered that our
neighboring State, Illinois, had. during the
last two years, been robbed to the amount
! of S235, 900, by the fraudulent use of tina.
amount Of checks, issued by the Cana, Com.
mIssoners twenty years ago. All Of which
had been redeemed prior to 1874. 1t ap-
pears that these checks had never been can
celled, and by some means they came into
the possession of Ex- Gov. Mattcson, who
presented them IN various amounts from
time to time, to the Clerk Of the Fund Com
missioner, and received in exchange State
Bonds to equal amounts. it having been pro-
yided, by the act of lS47, that all claims
against the State might be thus funded
These facts were made public by the dscov-
cry of these checks in the AUDITORS Office by
Gen. Fry, an old Commissioner, who sup
posed them to be counterfeit. The evidence
before the Senate Committee of Investigation,
however, shows all Of them to be genuine,
but uncancclled checks, and throws upon
Gov. Mat,eson the responsibility Of explain.
ing how, and by whom, this fraud was com
mitted. The affair has produced a great
excitement throughout the State, and the
public will not be satisfied unless the matter
is thoroughly investigated, and the guilty
party, whatever be his uamo Or station, is
brought to Justice.

Coming 20 Taw."

A week Hr two since, we referred TO some
erratc statements contained in letter writ
ten hv MIR. &. Nc HOLLIS, and took occasion
~ show wherein the writer had "overdid
the thing" and let the "cas out Of the bag
that article was couchcd in respectful lam
suage. and was entirely free from offensive
personalities. On tho 10Th inst, Mr..
EucEoLAs. made re oindcr, bestowlng upon
Us the epithet Of "sap-head,' etc. Not
content with that, he Travelled out Of his way,
and made sweeping charge Of general
bankruptcy against all the business, men Of
Council Bluffs. IS our readers will recol-
loot, we replied to that charge last week
and showed up the beauties Of Mr.. NuCKoLLs'
letter. On the l.;h inst, Mr.. NUcKoLIs
again returns TO the charge, but not as bold,
defiant and obstreporcus rs before. Not
wjthstanding he commenced the application
of low-tlung cpithets, he bitterly aud ZACH
rymoscly complains because in self defence,
We turned his own guns upon him. Not
wichs,anding this man NUCKoLLs made IN
unwarranted attack upon the standing of
the business men Of this city, when IRE APP
ply the horoscope TO MS integrity, and buS.-
ness standing, he roarS like Il sucking dove,
and is vtrr confident that his ''baiancc sheet
will compare favornbly with that Of any
firm in' Council Bluffs. Very we'll, We are
~ ul hat Il
sinGltions against y1ur ne!ghbors, when
vow are in the same boat-lt is not good
breeding for the kettle to be continually
calling the 20; black.
Mr.. NuCxoLi.s says we made an uugcnt.e
manly attack upon his credit and character.
IL so. there is no one TO blame but himself.
Previous to his letter Of the l0;h, We bad
never said word about either, and would
not then, but for his uncalled for and
unprovoked attack upon the ''credi, anu
character" Of our business men. 1t Is not
our fault, surely, i: the "poisoned chalcc
has been commended to his own lips"
4 word more, and we haze done. Mr.
NccKoLts very pathetlcaI'y says we nave
bestowed Glow persourl abuse upon him,
"which is beneath the character of anv
conductor Of public journal, protesting,
at least, to be genteman." This is all
fudge, and we defy him to point to a word
or sentence in our replies to him of the
character he alleges. But, even if we were
guilty of all he alleges, structures from him
come with an exceeding bad grace. In his
articles published On til 10th and 18th, he
settles everything in his favor, by such
arguments us "ssp. head" contemplate
lies" "fa!ss in every particular" eto. If
Mr. NICHOLS isn't satisfied with this show.
ing of his idiosyncracies and Inconsistencies,
We shall be pleased to hear from him fur.
Their. at his earliest convenience. MI
