The fact is incidentally brought out in
the recent essay of the Attorney General
on the Subsidy question that the eminent
lawyer, the late Judge William Yerger
was the attorney of the Mobile and
Northwestern Railroad. From this, it
would appear that when the services of
lawyer were wanted that distinguished
counsellor was retained; but when it was
desirable to influence the action of the

The New York Tribune remarks !:
Perhaps the universal losses which the
Republicans have suffered in the town
elections in this State may teach them
something worth rememberingr Town
elections are the most familiar expression
of popular sentiment; they are, this
year, all against the Republicans. If
that doesn't mean popular disapproval of
the doings of the Washington and Gus
tom-house Rings it does not mean any
thing at ALL"

The bill establishing a maximum
charge of 3 cents per mile for the trans

THURSDAY, : MARCH 20, 1873.
The Report of the subsidy InVes-
rERatfnE Committee.

This Report il published to-day. 1t
was unanimously concurred in by the
Committee, consisting of Messrs. Lowry
and Street, Conservatives, and Messrs.
French, Hill and Spellman, Republic
ans. 1t was received by the House with
out dissent, and ordered to be spread on
the journal The Report is in accord
ance with our anticipatiOns. We expect
ed an impartial investigation and just
verdict, and so stated when the House
ordered the inquiry. The Report,
throughout, is condemnatory of the At
torney General 1t finds nothing in his
conduct to approve; everything to CEN
sure. They have found that he has
committed the acts with which he was
charged, and which prompted the inves-
tigation, and that his official :" robes "
are tainted" with foul offences.
In this solemn form it goes forth that
$4,000 (instead of $4,000 as we have here
tofore said were paid "to remove the
objections of the Attorney General to
the issuance of S81 900 of warrants
claimed by the Ripley Railroad Com
pany. and that $500 were paid to
him by the Vice President Of
another Company, to control" his
official influence for the defeat of a pro
position pending before the Legislature
to repeal the Subsidy Law, of which TIE
said Vice President was the author. On
the evidence before it, the conclusion is
reached by the Committee that not only
are the &" robes of the Attorney Gene
raj " tainted" but that his conduct has
been so vacillating and contradictory,
his opinions so various and conflicting, as
to be utterly worthless" to the State, and
that for valuable considerations he has
served his employers rather than her.
We have intended to treat with strict
impartiality and candor this whole pro
ceeding, and will publish the entire ties
timony which accompanies the Report
and which is submitted by the Commit
tee as the basis of its conclusions.

THE SCHOOL MAP JoB.-There is a
great deal of talk about the expenditure
by the Superintendent of Public Schools,
II. r. Pease, of SIT 900 in the purchase of
State maps, in violation of the law of
April 30th, 1872, which authorized a
limited number to be bought for g schools
of the higher order" on the " application
and recommendation of County Superin-
tendents." The charge is that vast
number of maps have been purchased,
not only without such recommendation
but in defiance of the opinions of County
Superintendent against it; and that the
said maps are stored away in the rooms
of the State Superintendent. We pre-
sumo the matter will be Investigated.
