nection with the, recent senatorial
election, made IL report of its doinss
on the Sth inst. The committee find
no evidence either directly or indi-
rcctiv TO crimiuatc the Senator elect,

ate him. They find George +. Dor.
ris guilty of attempting to bribe two
members of the house, but find that
no member of either house accepted
amy bride or received any considcra.
ton for his vote. Mr.. llcadlcc, tho
only Republican member of the com
mittcc will make a minority report
to-day, but i; is not intimated what
il will contain. No doubt the invcs.
tigaiiun has been full and complete,
and Democrats need not blush 10 sec
their Senator take his seat as their
worthy representative. If there las
been any embarrassing done, the
Democratic papers of the State are
not to blame. for with praiseworthy
unanimity they have demanded a

Lafayette County.
ST. Louis Republican. 9Th

The bonded debt of Lafayette coun.
ty is $l,356,07l, being the largest
county debt in the state, reported to
The state auditor, next to that of ST.
Louis. The assessed wealth of the
county for 1872 is $9,045,7 O3. The
debt, therefore, is about u per cent.
of the county's wealth. The taxes
assessed against the county for 1872
are: Revenue tax, S22.6II; ST. te
interest tax, $22,6l4: county tax,
slS3,S30; total, $2l2s,55S, Of whicl,
ssh $50 is for interest OIL the county
debt. The people have TO pay in
state and county taxes an annual sum
which is 3 1-2 per cent. oil their as
sesse,i property. This estimate does
not include the township debt, the
township school taxes, nor the mu-
HicIpal taxes in LeNington, Waverly
and other corporate towns in The
county. If these local taxes were
added, the amount would be cOnsid-
crably increased.
These figures throw a good deal of
light npon the deep popular discon-
tont in Lafayette county. and tho
bitter feeling that prevails against
some Of the judges of the county
our The county debt represents
subscriptions to railroad companies,
voted by n minority of the people
during the days or the tcst-oath,
when taxpayers weres not even al.
lowed to vote on questions of taxing
their own property for public i'm
provencnts, without taking that diff
ficult oath. Taxes were imposed OH
them by the votes of O%tliers, and the
only part they had in the matter was
10 pay them. 1t is from this class OF
persons chiefly that the complaints
come.

have the county furnish all that may be necessary

nothing to do, but to oversee the hirelings he
may chOose to employ, to wait upon himself,
family and paupsrs, also 10 attend 10 The purchase
Of all thai is necessary for food ard clothing
We do not like the idea. and think If it Is carried
out it will cost the county ut least ten times as
much rs il would to give the poor farm to some
one pay him so much per year for each paupcr,
letting him furnish food c!u:hins and other
necrssarie.. The system of furnishing every
thing for the poor cost the county in the year
