II, however, the intention TO create a

scope OF the Act, the emission is o bill of
credit within the terms of the Constitu

Act to show the INTENDED design, which
have been pointed ont in the opinion of
Mr.. Justice Willard, it might be added
that the revenue bond scrip could mover
have boon intended or proposed us O
State security for Investment, because it
bore no interest, and it's value consisted
in the fact of its ready capacity and in.
citity in supplying all articles necessary

circulation and it's easy convertibility.

and ready use, would cause demand for
it which State bond, although bearing
interest, could not command. It is con.
tended that, ns this was provision to
meet debt Of the State, tho purpose
was to furnish fund for payment, and
not circulating medium. But may not

OF payment be of such kind and
character as to create in itself oirculat-

MISSOURI CORRUPTION.
The st. Louis Republican on the BOgy
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF the
POmerOy Investigation.

ST.. LOUIS, February 1.-THE Repu6-
hcdH Of this morning, referring to the
minority report of Mr.. Headlee on the
subject of Senatorial bribery, submitted
TO the House yesterday, saws it seems
from the report that very important
statements made before the committee
have been concealed from the public;
and adds that "the report will more than
ever convince the people of Missouri
that this investigation has been exceed
ingly superficial, and the vindication of
Colonel BOgy a verse than worthless
one. We once more demand, in behalf
Of Colonel Bogy's reputation, and in
behalf Of the Democracy of this State,
that the case be taken up again and
dealt with in a manner becoming grown
up men,
Mr.. A. RarahbOcker testified yester-
day before the POmeroy investigation
committee at Topeka, Kansas, to the ef-
feet that Ponseroy authorized him to use
money to influence the votes of Repre-
sentativeS Davis and Cummings, but
that he (POmeroy) furnished him with
no money TO pay them. He also swore
that he was authorized by Judge Horton
to offer Representative Bacon two thou
sand dollars to vote for POmeroy, and
that be made the offer and
Bacon refused it. He testified
further that he was the guest
Of Pomeroy at the hotel during the
canvass; and, in answer 10 a question,
said ne used TO live at Waterloo, Iowa,
where be was convicted for the burglary
Of twenty-six thousand dollars, and
served two years and half IN the peni-
tentiary, but afterward was pardOned by
the Governor, it being discovered that
he was innocent Of the crime; and
further, that he told Judge Horton and
Colonel Ennis, few days since, if they
would loan him fifty dollars be would

with hlle same rather than trust 10 such
a convention of delegg~~ses as would be
elected At this tine. The parties being
70 nearly equally divided now, it is feared
tnSt much time would be spent in quar-
relling over partisan questions, whilst
the best interests of the State would be
neglected. There is very little prospect
Of such a proposition being submitted to
the people-not until the August elee-
ton, 1874, If dOne5at all. The question
which has been so fully discussed
Ia your paper, seems 20 have given
away to matters OF greater imRortance.
The best energies Of your able corps Of
represe sentatives seem to be devoted to
retrenchment and reform in other and
more vulnerable quarters. A strong SEN
ument prevails in favor of dispensing
with juries in civil cases, except when
demanded BY either party This, if
done, VIII work a great reform through
cut the State. The commissions
Of Revenue Collectors and Trustees
viii probably be reduced-in fact,
the bill of Mr.. Williamson provides
for the abolishment of ax-CollectOrs,
and requires Trustees to collect the rev.
euue- his II uOue 10 save the GULL
mission of the Collectors. Inasmuch
as nearly every member has an idea Of
his own in regard 10 revenue, and what
means should be employed in the col
lection Of taxes; and, also, what mea-
sures of reform should be adopted, no
conclusion is likely to be arrived at soon
that viii subserve the best interests Of
the people.
The johnson and Cheatham elements
Of Democracy appear to be working in
harmOny-vOting together generally in
matters Of partisan polity; each vieing
with the other in acts of Iiberslity and
magnanimity. The best of feeling ap-
pears to prevail between them-in fact,
the whole Legislature appears to be
composed Of conservative, liberal mind
ed men, rarely exhibiting any partisan
elimination.

WAsHINGTON, February 14.-At an
adjourned meeting Of a caucus Of Re
publican Senators, held this morning. II
vas agreed that during the remainder
of the session no bills be taken up, ex-
cept the regular appropriation bills and
the hin reported from the Committee on
Education and Labor. Some measures
vet to be reported from the Judiciary
Committee on the Mormon question
together with bills on the regular
calendar can be taken up without sim
gle objection. The Finance Commit
tees bill for the resumption OF specie
pavurents and the postal telegraph bill
were excluded from the measures TO be
acted on.
The caucus also voted 10 TeadOpt the
rules adopted toward the close OF tne
last session prohibiting all amendments
to appropriation bills not strictly ger
main to their respective subjects, pro-
viding that q majority of the Senate
may limit the debate on any one amend
ment to five minutes each.
The Senatorial caucus did not deter
mine that no measures shall be taken
up for action this session, except those
mentioned in previous dispatches, but
that those measures and the call OF the
calendar TO this end shall have absolute
precedence. Bills not mentioned are TO
take their chances. Reports on ques-
tions of privilege, like Louisiana and
Kansas matters, will not, Of course,
