large amounts of State bonds
by Auditor Wickliffe. In oul
own State and city we have
had, and are still having one
fraud after another, following
in such quick succession, that
we do not have time to canvass
the phases Of one before anoth-
er is brought to light. Our
losses come so fast and heavy,
and come, too, with such an in
evitable nature, that we seem
to have come to the resolve to
take them like philosophers,
make the best of them, and
treat as heroes the authors of
them. Right in the midst of
our discussion of Mr.. Susisky's
defalcation, another ex-official
charged with embezzlemnt, re-
turns from a promenade to
Europe, and holds a triumphant
levee, in a beer saloon, to give
his hosts of Radical admirers
an opportunity to grasp his
honest hand and assure him of
their continued devotion.
1t is gradually dawning on
the slow perception of the pub
lie that the limit to this wild
anarchy of fraud, is the amount,
of money that the people can
contribute to their treasures.
In other words, the stealing
will go on until the people are
plucked naked, and there is
nothing more left to steal. No
matter of ten thousand, hum
dreds OF thousands, nor even
millions, will safe the spirit of
Radical greed. An exhaustion
OF all the ready money that can
be extorted from taxpayers,
alone will satisfy it, and we
shall not probably be let off
short Of that limit. We have
been told in SO many words,
that the Radical party "Heans
to rule" us, and we have been
taught by the most convincing
acts that it "means' to rob us.
too; and as there is no more
remedy for one evil, than for
the other, it becomes us to cul-
tivate the grace ofresignation,
and submit to its highwaynan
policy with uncomplaining
meekness.-[St. Louis Repu66-

The Reign of Fraud.

at different points in the ex
tended line was called "thun-
deriRg all round the sky."-
Nothing less vast can express
the deluge of rascality that has
burstfor along the whole line
of Radicalism. The fact is, the
phenomenon is absolutely in,
describable. 1t has beggared
the vocabulary, and our sturdy
vernacular, that rarely fails to
be equal to any tax upon its
capabilities of expression,
stands aghast at a colossal out
burst of corruption which it is
pOwerless even to find a name
for. The poor thunder is hard
put to it to sound aecompani-
ments to the omni-present spirit
of crime. There is a thunder
ing in New York, a laundering
at Washington City, a thunder
ing in New Orleans, a thunder
ing in Georgia, and an ever
lasting crushing of thunder vol
leys here in Missouri. Indeed
it should thunder every time
an act of stealing is done it
would exhaust the whole stock
of thunder in the ayenging sky
to rattle the tally of the thefts
and rObberiesin in Missouri alone.
Not long since we attempted
to keep a record of the fraud
committed by the "party of
progress" just as a matter of
curiosity; but the enterprise de-
veloped the same insurmounta-
bic difficulties that were met
with by the Indian whom Pow
haitian sent to England, with a
bundle of sticks, to count the
pale faces in that country. A
notch was made for each stran-
ger whom the calculating .au4
thochthon met with, until, all
his supply of sticks having
been notched, without bringing
him any nearer to the end of
his task than when he began,
the unhappy savage closed up
the notching business by cut
ting his throat. The entrees in
our record of the financial ir-
Irregularities of the dominant
party grew so thick and fast
that we were compelled to
abandon the undertaking. At
New York we have had the
drawback frauds, the Bailey
frauds, and the frauds that led
to the loss to the government
of the valuable services of Gen.
Butterfeld; in Washington we
have had one committee after
another investigating frauds
which seem to have no end. At
this moment there are no less
than three Investigations going
on--a House inquiry into the
reported bribing of members
with Cuban bonds; a House
inquiry into the frauds locked
up in that loyal piece of furni-
ture, the freedman's bureau !;
and a Senate inquiry into the
whispered purchase of senator
ial votes for Bullock's bill, with
Georgia stocks; and all this to
say nothing of the shameless

is constantly exposed to the

which makes no noise. Further
than this the event alone can
tell. In the presence of a life
long siege of perils against
which it is impossible for any
foresight to provide, every re-
Elective mind must revolt and
sicken at the persistent recur-
renee of calamities which it is
altogetherfeasible for prudence
to prevent. Of such a nature
was the recent disaster in the
Capitol of Virginia, which has
thrown a whole city into MOURN
ing. 1t adds one more to the
long, disheartening catalogue
ofpreventable accidents, losses,
bereavements, woes and miser-
les. 1t could have been and it
ought to have been made some
bOdy's business to see that the
flooring which gave way was
firm enough to bear the weight
OF any crowd which might
stand upon it, scr that it was
subjected to no dangerous pres
sure of this sort. In the same
city of Richmond, many years
ago, abyat the same number of
victims were sacrificed to the
defective construction of a the
atre. The loss of human life in
the latter case was imputed to
the burning of the building
But it was not the fre-though
that was preventable-which
wrought the havoc; it was
criminal neglect to provide ade-
quate egress in case of conf1a-
grafton, or of panic arising from
an alarm of fire or from any
other cause.
There is no excuse for defec-

are results of human contriv-
ance, under circumstances
which clearly admit the possi-
bility of their prevention by
human contrivance. Though
Innocence and responsibility
may exist in large part, some
body must be to blame, and a
fearful moral responsibility
must lie Somewhere. But no.
body is ever punished, nobody
is ever stigmatized and held
up to public adherence, for
playing a guilty part in connec-
tion with murderous disasters.
Nor, on the other hand, are the
scrupulous and meritorious with
regard to the prevention ofsuch
catastrophes properly recogniz-
ed, honored and rewarded
Public opinion is too vague, di-
fuse, indolent and languid to
address itselfto the question in
a determined spirit and an ef-
fective manner. Society as a
whole folds its arms and finds
it more agreeable to forget
than to investigate, puts off the
work of reform to a more con-
venient season, and tacitly says
that for the present it does not
pay to be scrupulously solicit
ous of the safety of human life.
If it had a higher respect for
itself. it would set a higher val
ue on human life. The more it
cheapens human life, the lower
does it fall in its own estimation
and the lower will it stand in
the Judgment of history. In
holding nobody torighteons ac-
countability for preventable
calamities, in persistently neg
lecting to apply available
means of prevention, in prefer
