which, in violation of law, of the Con.
stitution and of official oaths, have
been wrcsted from their legitimate
purpose and otherwise disposed Of.
These facts cannot be denied, and
they demonstrate the light considera-
tion that Republican official places
upon his oath of Office. II TO these
figures we add the s667 900 they re-
ccivcd from the General Government
in 1866, which should have gone to
payment of the State debt, (for the mil
itary loan is included in the figures ]
give), and 100000 for the one per
cent. of interest they added upon the
s23,OOO,00O of six per cent. loan, un-
necessarily placed, during the three
years 1868, 1869 and 1870, and the
cost of placing the same, we find that
the State debt should have been re
ducei by at least three and halfmil
lions more than il is, if the plain pol.
icy Of the amendment of 1858 had
been carried out, .
| set out to prove violation Of Off.
cial oaths and misapplication of trust
assets, and these facts and figures are
the evidence.
. Upon the men who now run the
financial and executive branches OF
tho State government we charge
eithor wanton neglect of their official
duties, or corrupt connivance in en-
bezzement of the public moneys. II
either proposition be just, they are
unfit to fill the places they hold and
they and those they seek to place in
power should be repudiated by an out
ragged public.
