PROBING MATTERS.

The Springfield correspondent, of the st.
Louis Republican, Jan. 18th, writes that
The convention here is probing matters
TO the bottom, and that, too, with the appro.
baton OF republicans as we'll as democrats,
throughout the state Some parties vince
under it, and some journals make ineffective
efforts to defend and Justify the illegal and
reckless action of the state administration.
But it won't do. A mass of facts will 90 be.
fore the people which will satisfy them that
this democratic constitutional convention
came to the rescue Of the state Just about in
time, 1t was too late to arrest the monstrous-
ly large expenditures already made without
shadow Of legal authority, and to the great
oppression Of the people; but in time to ar
rest any further violation Of law, and bring
the wrong doors TO something like a proper
responsibility. But for the sitting IF this
convention and its timely efforts to ferret out
ana expose the transactions of the state nd.
minlstration, who can say that the pcople Of
the state might not have been comnelled 70
assume burden Of ten millions of debit |,
has already gone to fire miUjons, with no au.
thority of law beyond 81 $50, 600. And #
the party had been let alone, to what bottom.
less depths Of debt would it not have sunk
the state !! Thanks to the boldness and fdeI
ity Of democratic convention, the state will
be cursed with no more such evils"
There are no apologiSts here for any wrong
act of the state administration, or any i'm
proper use of power. There is no party
about this matter-the people here are all in
favor Of holding every public officer to rigid
accountability for the manner in which he
discharges the duties of his Office, and if he
is 'ound to be unfaithful, they say "Put
hun out and give Us better man-no mat.
Ter what may have been his politics, proyid.
ed he is firm, reliable union man.

conditions uf their very existence, which for

that these hand, shall not be subjected to tax
