THE $4,000 sMIND4E ON THE

S0LD1ERsS FUND.-
In onr local columns will be found two acts |
of 1hc Legislature respecting Cook County
rrer bonds, The one was passed February 2,
and the other February Is, 1866. The first
act authorizes the Board Of Supervisors to Is
sue any sum not exceeding one million Of
dollars, to bear not more than seven per cent
interest, and payable at such time md place
as the Board shall flx. From the proceeds Of
said bonds the bounty scrip issued last oil
shall, be redeemed and the residue used for
the relief OF families of soldiers. The second
act authorizes tho Board to issue million
and half Of bonds on the same terms, for
the nnrpose Of paying bounties under the
present call and for The aid Of soldiers fam
lilies.
But there arc two things connected with
these acts which seriously impair their value
to the people. The first is the commission to
provide that holders Of scrip may convert 1t
into bonds at Ileasure. As the cnse stands
the bonds must first be advertised and sold
for what they will bring. Then the proceeds
must be maid over to the county Treasurer.
and afterwards, at his convenience, he may
redeem the scrip. There is no authority civ
en- 10 exchange bonds for scrip even at pre-
MUM. Why was this important clause omit

THE SoUncK or OPTICAL. CoRRUrnon.-The
Illinois Legislature which adjourned on Thursday
was bad Legislature. It vas open to bribery. It
controlled by lobby. It nade appropriations
which were unconstitutional, and were un>atled
for. had there been no question Of their constitu-
people In the dtr!sion Of a judicial district to
GRITTY partisan maleyolence Afnst IN honest and

the party which elected them. and the1r pract1ce
Rs 1egie1ators was entirely consistent with the
principles Of Abolih Chlc1go 7fnses.
We concur entirely With the 1fmes in It's
opinion Of The late Legislature, except that it
lays all its burden Of complaint at the door
Of " "Abolitionism.' Democratic votes were
not wanting to pass any scheme, no matter
how outrageous Chicago Journal.
II will be satisfactory to the members of
the late Legislature to know that about all
the newspapers in the State, except the two
corrupt Springfield journals, both Of which
shared In the profits Of legislative stealing,
agree In pronouneing the last Legislature
the most corrupt we have ever had. We ad-
mire the impudence Of the Chicago 1sn,es in
charging Ibis on the Republican party. The
published proceedings Of both houses chow
that the Copperheads voted nearly or quite
as unit In favor Of every corrupt bill that
passed the Legislature, while three fourths Of
lie votes opposing such bills were Republi-
can. While one-fonrth Of the Republicans
voted for each Of these stealing schemes, the
democrats" voted for them oil In solid pha-
1anx as q party, with hardly single opposing
or lodging yute. The Timex knows this Is
true Of the vote on the Penitentiary swindIe,
the Horse Railway swindle, the Stock Yard
bill, the Gold swind]e, and every other bill
upon which members we're bribed. For our
part VIC care not who is hit when these infer
nal ,ascalities arc aimed at. The men who
pushed them through are sconndre1s alike,
whether they call themselves " Democrats "
or " Republicans, and We are rs ready and
