Important Subtitle Old Lacrosse and
Milwaukee Corruption Bond Holders
TO come to Grief.

We understand that Messrs. era,
ham Il Scott, the contractors who
built considerable portion OF the
Lacrosse and Milwaukee Railroad,
and who still hold large and unpaid
Judgments for their work against the
old Lacrosse company, have issued
garnishee proceedings against the
members Of the Legislature Of 1856,
aud the State officers and others who
received what are commonly called
corruption bonds" from that compa>
ny, and have converted them to their
own use. The legal theory upon
which this proceeding is predicated
seems to be that the persons who re,
ceived these bonds for the corrupt
consideration OF their official aud
personal influence or votes in favor
OF the Land Grant bill through the
Legislasure, and have since convert
ed such securities to their own use,
are liable as trustees, to the creditors
of that company tor the amounts re
allied by them, and interest. This
theory would seem to be Just if not
legal. On the legal question, as the
courts sometimes say, we are not
prepared to give an opinion.
Garnishee notices have been served
upon VIM. Chappell and VIM. NJ.
Dennis, Of this city, (the former a
member of the Legislature Of 1856,
and the latter a Bank comptroller at
that time) to answer before Court
Commissioner of this county, on
Thursday next, as to the disposition
of any such bonds, which they may
have received if any Of the agents
Of that company under sUch circum-
stances and we understand that
like proceedings are to be taken a,
gainst all others similarly situated
Waterto,0n Republican.
What will Nose Strong and the
Forty Thieves say to this? Gen.
sAmasa Cobb, a member Of the State
Senate that year, 1856, was one OF
the few incorruptible members lie
was asked to set price on himself,
with the in timations that the amount
however large, should be put into his
hands as a condition that his vote
should be cast for the grand swiadle,
He declined the bid in words never to
be forgotten-his conditions being
such that all the treasures of earth,
with Kilbourn, Nose Strong and the
"Forty" blacked and made his slaves
for life were insufficient more than to
cause him 10 take the matter into
consideration We have such man
offering for Congress. Shall he win :?
