The enemy left thirty dead on the

The over issue Of 81 100, 900 of Indi
ana bonds. by ID. G. Slower, ex Agent of
State, seems to have been known to our
State officers as far back az last January,
yet they carefully kept the fac. from the
public, and permitted a still greater mum
Der of persons to be victlmized by the
fraudulent issue Our State officers pro-
posed TO Slower, that if he would return
the fraudulent bonds in sums of $4,000,
or over. at stated times. his villainy should
not be exposed.
Is not this strange way to deal with
criminals? If man steals horse, would
it not be unusual conduct for an officer
whose duty i! was to arrest and bring him
to punishment, to propose to him that il
he would return the horse, he would not
be exposed, and consequently not punish
ell? Such course is the one pursued by
our immaculate State officers. They have
so long excused and covered up fraud and
peculation in their own party, that they
probably forgot themselves. and were
doing the same thing for one who had been
known as a Democrat
Slower should meet with the most rig.
oroas punishment known TO the law; and
our State officials, who have been trifling
with justice. should receive very un-
mistakabe intimation from the people that
their services are nc loager needed.
We are perfectly willing they shall be
gin on Democrats. in the purishmen: OF
fraud, if they can find any who are guilty;
but justice to tie people demands that they
should carry the war into Africa. and
punish those of their own party guilty Of
such crimes.

The investigating Committees of Con-
gress, and the other means of developing
fraud. have demonstrated that there have
been the grossest and mos, fragrant frauds
perpetrated in the War and Navy Depart
ments, In the purchase of arms. horses,

frauds Of greater and less magnitude. The
people were inclined TO hold the heads Of

frauds were perpetrated, responsible. until

The Investigating Committees are con

are in the hands of the Republicans: so
that any information coming through those
sources may be regarded as favorable TO
