Another gigantic raid on the Treasury j,
said to be on foot, which, for magnitude and
audacity, outstrips everything Of the kind
that has been devised Of late 1t Is nothing
les, than the assumption by the general
government of the debts Of the southern
states, to the extent Of SI2j 200 goo The
Tribune states that the scheme originated
with certain bankers in New York, who are
large holders of bonds issued BY the carpet
bag governments in the South They have
employed lobby agents to quietly breach
the subject TO Congressman. and these lob
byists have been engaged for several days in
this work They have endeayored to keep
the movement as secret as possible until
they see what strength they can count
upon, for fear of the hostile criticisms Of
the press They have been disappointed in
getting the support among Democratic
members which they looked for. Their ex-
pectation was that the Democrats would
vote in a body for the scheme, together
with. all the Southern Republicans The
argument in favor Of this monStrous raid on
the Treasury is that the Southern States
have suffered greatly by the war, and by
the bad civil governments forced upon them
since. and that it would be an act of noble
generosity for the United States 10 relieve
them of a burden of debt incurred without
the consent Of their citizens who hold prop
ertv, and which Is serious burden upon
them, hindering their growth and develop
ment. The real motive of the men who
have looked up this job Is. Of course, no
consideration for the impoverished South,
but desire for heavy profit on the bonds
they hold. These bonds were bought at
prices ranging from twenty to eighty cents
on a dollar Large quantities cost the
holders nothing, for they were stolen out
right by eonniyance with thievish State Off
cials. The profit that would accrue by their
conversion into United States bonds would
be enormous-probably not less than $780,,
900 900. There is, of course, no prospec
that the job can be got through Congress
at this session, and. it is probable that ITS
advocates will not feel sufficiently encour-
al ed to put it in the form of a bill. The
existence of the scheme shows, however,
that Credit Mobilier developments have not
had the effect to seriously de1oralize the
lobby.
