We understand that Messrs. Graham
& Scott, the contractors who built con
siderable portion of the Lacrosse & Mil.
waukee Railroad and who still hold
large and unpaid judgments for their
work, against the old Lacrosse company,
have instituted garnishee proceedings
against those members of the Legislature
of 1856, and the State officers and others,
who received what are commonly called
corruption bonds" from that company,
and have converted them to their own
use. The legal theory, upon which this
proceeding is predicated, seems to be th at
the persons who received these bonds, for
the corrupt consideration of their official
and personal influence or votes in favor
Of the passage Of the Land Grant Bill
through that Legislature, and have since
converted such securities to their own use,
aie liable as trustees, TO the creditors of
that company for the amounts realized
by them, and interest. This theory
would seem to be just if not legal. On
the legal question, as the courts some
times say, we are not prepared to give
an opinion.
Garnishee notices have been served
upon William Chappell and VIM. NJ.
Dennis, of this city, (the former mem
Der of the Legislature of 1856, and the
latter 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 circumstan-
ces !; and we understand that like pro-
ceedings are to be taken against all others
similarly situated.

GROWING ON SMALL CAPITAL.

us, however, that Gen. Stacks Regiment,

na-In his letter of acceptance Seymour
says: "Having given nearly 10000 com
missions to the officers of lat army, I
know their wishes and views" It will
no doubt be question with many why it
should follow that he should know their
views and wishes merely from having Civ
en- them their commissions. But there
is no need to follow this inquiry further
as we also know their views and wishes
from their repeated expressions Of them
at the polls But knowing them as he
claims to have done, what respect did he
show them when he made those bitter and
sneering anti-war speeches in 1863 =?
And what assurance have we that he will
now respect those views and wishes for
which he exhibits so much Difference, if
placed in the high position of power to
which he aspires?

The father of General Grant is main
tanning suit before Cincinnati court
against firm of cotton spectators for his
share of the proceeds of cotton brought
out Of the South during the war. It seems
that he was to have certain share of the
profits for obtaining permit from bis son
for the transportation of the cotton through
his lines, but that General Grant would
give no such permit, even to his own ia
Their. The Democratic papers suppress
this essential fact, and print the rest of the
story to damage General Grant, thus CIV
ing the impression that he assisted his ia
Their in the cotton speculation. -r

that if the Democratic party should sue
coed in November, slavery would be re-
stored. Chief Justice Chase says if Sey-
mour should be elected, all that was gained
by the war would be lost Wade Hamp-
ton, in his speech at Charleston, says
substantially the same thing. The Plat
form Committee told Hampton the South
should have everything it desired, but
said 1t aoouzd not do to pu' that in the
platform He accepted the pledge, on
condition that these words be added to
the 9Th resolution "And we declare
that the reconstruction acts are revolu-
tionary, unconstitutional and void" This
was agreed to. "When I proposed that"
says Hampton, "every member Of the
Committee came forward and said thew
would carry it out to the end"

cause he is the bondholder's candidate.
1t is charged that Seymour is in favor
of paying the coupons in gold. Mr. Bel
mont, who is great sticker for equality
IL taxation, and now supports Seymour as
a ploWholder against the bondholders,
will put several speakers on the stump to
retute this charge.

THE swEpEs IN HENRY.

The Cambridge and Geneseo jacobin
newspapers are in peck oftrouble because
the Swedes of Henry county viii not bow to
the party whip and submit to be insulted
and deprived Of their rights At the regular
republican county convention, very large
and respectful petition from Swedes was pre-
scented asking the nomination of gallant
and competent .Swede soldier for the Office of
sheriff. Their petition was treated with in
suit and ridicule. The swedes have proper
ly resented this, and, on Monday, they held
large mass meeting at Andoyer and nomin-
ated Capt. Andrew G. Warner, of Andover,
for sheriff. The Chronicle tries to turn off
the matter by charging the movement upon
"professed republicans who have been labor.
ing to create division in the republicans
party, for the purpose of defeating it and Sc
curing their own elevation upon its ruins, >
and It does not "apprehend that any Swedes
who have allied themselves to the srepubh.
can party from principle will be led away by
the intrigues and sophistries of disappointed
and interruptions politicians"
= But the Republic frankly says, "We can
not close our eyes to the fact that their claims
were not responded TO in a spirit to which
they were entitled" The Republic wishes
the Swedes would grin and bear it awhile
longer, though it can't blame them for show
ing their spirit and independence now. It
further says, eff Capt. Warner persists in
INNING, he viii, no doubt, secure all the
Swede vote in this county, which is q thou.
sand strong. This win be taken from Mr..
F1ensburgs (she radical nominee) strength,
and must endanger his election" :
The fact is that the decent republicans in
Henry feel very much as they do in this
county. They are disguised with the shys-
ters and wire pullers who run their conven.
tons, and they think the best way is to throw
all their nominees overheard, and elect the
democratic candidates once, just to teach
their conventions good lesson.
