In this connection notice that the Quincy
Herald, Gen. Singlcton's organ, publishes q
different version of the sd resolution from
the Times, Of Chicago, and the Register Of this
city. The Herald publishes the version Of the
Chicago Ibst and St. Louis Hepu5zican. This
shows that the resolution was manipulated by
the Tines and Regtster editors after it had &C.
tually passed the Convention
TEE SOLDIERS RELIEF nUaBUG.
But the biggest humbug Of allis the fund
said to have been raised for the relief Of the
soldiers, amounting to between forty and fifty
Thousand dollars. The List Of the subscribers
is not to be published until the amount
reaches sl00, 900! Now, generally in public
subscriptions the Sims collected ara imme-
diately published People van. to know that
everything about the matter is fair and shove
board, while the very publication itself ere.
ates spirit Of emulation. Until the sum said
to have been subscribed, Is receipted for by
one Of the great Sanitary societies Of the day,
you may put It down as certain that this sub.
ecrfption Is as big fraud as the statement
t1las 100000 persons attended the CVpven-
By The by, there arc two Georges here
Geo. Shut, and Geo. Judd-who are candl-
dntcs for the position Of Treasurer Of this
fund. Judd subscribed $500 on the chances
Of being appointed, and consequently iatd ont
Shut. But Judd was not known to tile, pub
lie sufficiently, So it WILLS decided that Honest
John Moore, as they call him, should act as 4
stool. pigeon for the former. Moore is conse-
quentiy sort OF 1oadstone to draw the green
backs; into the bag held by Judd. This Is
another Lanpbier dodge, Judi being tender

time next year may finally succeed.
TIE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION FOB THE
SOLDIERS. '
There is another matter connected with the
soldiers that should be ventilated. At the
drst part Of the session 10000 in gold MAS
appropriated as relief fund tor the soldiers,
to be expended by Commissioners Irwin. Boy
den and Anderson: who were to report to the
Legislature Nearly six months hare e1apsed,
and no report has been made. ! learn that
the gold realized nearly s15, 900. I also learn
thai the money has been expended most ont
rageous]y, extEavagantly and uselessly, in
some instances, and in many others IN opposf.
rion to the letter of the Law arpropria!ing it..
But why did not the Commissioners report!
Come, gentlemen, let US Aaye the report.
There Is considerable squirming about both
these frauds even in the Copperhcad ranks.

manner iu which matters generally have baen
