Il Now let any Honest man look at the
ababove figures, and be amazed. They :
exhibit a record of rascality unedualed
BY any frauds in modern history, not
j excepting thoSe Of the Tahimanys ringss
Y Here are ten Estates whose debts lHow
d gre nearly four times as great as they
fwere before the eWar, and yet these same,y
'ften States had nothing to do with con-
ftributing to the expenses of the war;
but have incurred this quadruple in.
debtedness solely, through ,tbe, Infamous
ls'windling by the carpetlbag govern
nents which have, cursed, them under
! Grants Administration. Before the
a war the sum total of their Indebtedness
! was seventy-siN millions lat present. this.
sum total is two hundred and ninety-one
millions, showing an increase of two
: hundred and lifteer, mill lions. ~
F And in order that these figures may
be seen in their true proportions, be it
remembered that the remaining twenty
seven, States, which did incur a war
\ debt, foot up their sum total of iadebt4
edness (war and all at only two hun.
]dred and three millions; so that the
mere increase in the Indebtedness Of ten

a hundred and fifteen millions, while twen-
ty.seven Northern States svhichsdid conr
