of tho company are in no trouble. The

mining of the Junction track has been
partially given up so as TO reduce expenses.
The .uits attempted in that quarter are
mere annoyauces TO force a return to the
old number of trains along the Lake Shore,
and are regarded in no serious light by the
management. The interest OH all the

Sinking Fund provided for, and the small
floating debt still remaining is in process
Of liquidation without the sacrifice of extra

The attention Of our readers is called to
the article on our first page, disclosing the
guilty knowledge of Morgan and Edgerton
of tho bankrupt condition of the treasury
as far back as 1864. The proofs are too
palpable and convincing to be gainsayed or
discredited, and efectually neutrslize the
effect intended TO be produced by these two
emaculate rascals in their dirty attempt to
screen Breslin and themselves from the
charge of fraud on the Treasury, and charg-
ipg it to Innocent persons, who have never
used dollar Of the money. Never were
proofs more clear, exposure more scathing,
or truth better vindcatod. The official let
ters of Morgan and Edgcrton, and their as
sociates, McCook and Trevitt, show conclus-
lively that they were oognizant of Broslins
fraudulent use of the public funds, and by
that knowledge, even if they were not par
Elephants in the use of the money, they be-
came a party to the fraud. They were the
sworn officers Of the State, and it was their
duty to at once expose Breslin and save the
people from loss. Did they do it? No
But instead kept the matter covered up, and
as is believed now by many, were, some Of
them, specializing with the public funds, and
by bad management lost large sums to the
State. Yet these are the men who are now
endeavoring to "white-wash" Breslin and
cover up their own dirty tracks, by villifying
men who are far better than themselves, and
who are as innocent of the charges brought
against them, as are our readers who never
handled dollar of the public funds.
We offer no apology for the conduct o
Gibson, in not disclosing the defalcation o
Breslin, after it came to his knowledge, bu
at the same timo we cannot sit quietly BY
and see men who were appointed to make
an investigation as to tho whereabouts o
the public money, willfnlly and malignant
Ily, without particle of evidence, charge
individuals with being parties to the fraud
when the contrary has been abundant,
shown. The mean attempt Of that commit
tee to, in some way, asperso the character
of such men as Gov. Chase, Hon. Colum
bus Delano, Hon. W. @. Noble, and Others
through pure political malignity, deserve
and will receive the contempt of all honora
bic men. The people have already brand
ed these calumniators with the seal of con
demnation, and this last attempt Of their
to rcsurect their party from the dead, vii
only consign it to deeper and darker grave

The MEANEsT ON REcoRD. About the
meauest case that we reoollect 70 have heard
of lately, is the following Some time ago,
a man named Coe, went before Justice
Beam, in California, and claimed a COW
that had been taken up as an estray. To
prove that the animal was his, he produced
witness named F. A Redwins, who swore
the matter through aud Coo got the COW.
Soon after, il is said, the parties fell out,
and Cee went before the Grand Jury, swore
that the COW did not belong to him-that
Redwine swore falsely when he swore that
be knew it was the property of Coe-and
succeeded in having Rsdwine indicted for
perjury. II the facts are as above stated, a
meaner man than Coe it would bo difficult

WASTE OF MoNEY.-No mistakes are
more sincerely mourned over in after life
than foolish waste Of money in youth
The thing is altogether a matter of habit,
and he who does not set his habits right in
this particular, will lament it all his days.
But the young man, because his real wants
are few, imagines they always will be. Be

mOncAN AND EDcEprON.

II is evident that these two Uirtuosoc in
stead of being placed on the Treasury In
vestigating Committee, should have been
called bttors it, as witnesses; for, during
Breslin's term Of Office, they both held po-
sitions, in which they could not but be cog
infant Of his (Breslins) peculations. One of
them, Morgan, by his own confession, con-
concealed this guilty knowledge for years
and is thus, by implication particsps GRIM
iaus with him. Edgerion was Transfer
Agent Of the State of New York, at the
same time, and must have been aware Of
Bresin's transactions. Ti6fn Tribune.
We think that Morgan ought not to be
placed on the stand as a ,0itness, but that
he ought to be placed in the criminals box
as party to the fraud on the Treasury =
for it rs well known that previous to Bros-
Inns election to the office of Treasurer, Nor
gan was in very poor circumstances, In
fact he was at that time, and had been for
some years previous defdultsr as treasur-
er Of Colum5iand county to the amount of
sir thousand dollars, and that soon after
Bresin came into Office he (Morgan) set
tied the amount he had abstracted from the
treasury of that county. 1t is now believed
that he got the money from Breslin; and as
Morgan is now reported to be in good cir
cumstances, and owns a valuable printing
office in Licking county, the question readi-
ly arises, where did the money come from
May it not be that some of the 100000,
which Breslin refuses to disclose the where
abouts, is now in the possession of Morgan 2
The old saying that "it takes rogue to
catch a rogue" may be true in the abstract,
but that it is entirely safe to rely on the
word of such an one as Morgan undoubted-
ly is, is extremely doubtful. So long as
Breslin, Morgan, & Co., have 100000 Of
the peoples money at their disposal, it will
be safe not to place too much reliance on
any assertions that may emenate from that
source.

We have it from the third member of
the Committee, that at at the request of
Messrs Morgan and Edgerton, he made a
thorough examination into the knowledge
Of those gentlemen in regard TO the defal-
cation, and the reason why he madc no re-
port of it was simply because he would
have to bcstow on them the highest praise
for their strict integrity and watchfulness
of the States interest, which would have
prevented those gentlemen signing tho ro-
port, as they could not with propriety praise
themselves Cincinnati Enquirer.
We don't know that it is possible for
Charles Rcemelin to be sunk deeper in the
contempt of all people than he has been
by attaching his name to that report of the
Committee to transfer tho guilt Of the
Treasury robbery from Democratic to Re-
publican shoulders, but if it is possible to
sink him an inch deeper, such statement as
above will do it. Some thought Recmelin
was an honest man, though many always
looked upon him him as a prying, sneaking
underhandcd, deceitful, oily CANNON. He
now does not rise to the dignity of decent
mans contempt Cleve. Herald.

Italian Refugees.

The Ncapoitan Government have lately

about sixty-six political prisoners, who have
been shut out from the light of heaven,
some Of them for ten years, and until their

plos-bound for the United States, and
were towed by Neapolitan war steamer

they would be losers Of 81 800.

TME LATE CnNGREsS.

The rap of the Speakers hammer which
closed the late Congress, sounded the
knell Of the Democratic party. The force
Of cohesion which the love of public plum
der supplied, alone kept the party together
even in seeming. With large majority in
each branch, the President could carry no
measure through. Even necessary appro-
priation bills were lost. Nothing really was
effected except to add s2o,oOO,ooo to the
public debt. The last results Of modern de-
moeracy we're worked out in the last Cong
ress. Then and there this combination of
tricksters, knayes and thieves, was dissolved,
and the carcass now lies exposed to public
gaze in the last stages of rapid and offensive
decomposition. None can be found even to
give The corpse a decent burial. 1t only re-
mains that the dogs should devour it, un-
less the corruption be found too rank even
for dogs stomach.
