whose name was Seeger, did the business for
which he was elected. TO meet the demands
of a Legislative Committee which inquired
into the condition of the Treasury, Munch's
bondsmen paid over to the Treasury $4,000.
which, the examination being over Munch'S
father-in-law handed back. A friendly thing
tbis was in Munch's father-in-law, since in 30
doing he relieved Munich and became de-
faulter himself. That kind of father-in-law
NAV he frequent in Minnesota-he does MT
abound anywhere else.
The matter was kept quiet all last Sum-
mer and Fall 80 as not to imperl 'ne
success of the party of moral ideas
in the State and natiOn-it beats all
how many things of that sort were Kept qne1
for that purpOse-but after the november
election the facts began to leak out. IL mas
perhaps been noticed that we have had some
of the leakiest months since last November
that were ever known; great many thineS
have leaked out that never leaked out Dc
fore. In consequence OF these iacts
leaking out an investigation was hau'
the story of which is told in our St'
Paul letter. The manner Of that investigation
and of the efforts to obstruct it and white
wash the offense, and finally dodge the in
eyitable conviction upon impeachment, IS but
a repetition of the Congressional scandals OF the
past six months The Republican Legislature
of Minnesota, like the Republican majority In
Congress- assumed the responsibility OF the
crime and took upon itself the guilt OF
the criminal. There was the same story
of twisting and turning and dodglng
that so dsgusted honest men IN the
Credit Mobilier investigation, the Caldwell
and Pomeroy trials, and in fact in all the cases
in which Congress made any pretense OF
inquiry. Gov Austin winked at the transac-
ton of accepting the resignation, and 1t Is
understood, implicated himself in it still
further by refusing to obey summons OF the
Senate to appear and testify. But IN spite OF
all the tricks and evasiOns of the political
managers, Mr.. Seeger was brought to the
bar of the Senate upon the impeachment, was
tried, convicted sentenced, and removed from
Office. A very proper ending; but not due
nv any means to the Administration poll
ticians;-it was rather in spite of them. Honey
combed with corruption everywhere seems 10
be the condition of the dominant party. God
speed the day when the honest men OF the
country shall see their way out of the tangle
of deyiltries into which a bad lot of poll
ticians has brought them, and when no party
shall dare say its own success depends on the
continuance of rOgues in office.

MINNESOTA IMPEACHMENT.

II ia not an uncommon story that st. Paul
(Minn.) correspondent of The TRIBUNE tells
concerning defalcation by State Treas
urer and the efforts of his political friends to
screen him from justice, and at last the re-
sort to the trick of resignation to avoid the
result of trial upon impeachment. Not un-
common in these times, unhappily; and yet
the story has considerable interest, and may
well serve to point moral. , The conclusion
is related in O. dispatch from Minnesota an
nouncing the Judgment of the State Senate,
finding him guilty and removing him from
Office. The crime began, as the most of
them do, with speculation-ths time land
speculation.~ Mr.. Munich, the Republican
State Treasurer, used the State funds in
his yentures--used them. as all respectable
thieves do nowadays. with fixed purpose
of paying back every cent There was
not dishonest hair in the head of Mr..
Munch-he was for aught we know O Chris
tan statesman. But Mr.. Munich wanted
money-not for selfish purposes-perish the
thought-but to do good with. Providence
somehow failed-in the reprehensible- way
Providence sometimes does such things-to
smile on Munch's ventures, and the first thing
Munich knew he owed the State $1120 1t
began to look about that time as though
Munch's bondsmen would yhave TO pay the
amount but Munich knew trick worth two
of that. Being influential in the councils
Of the Republican party, he procured
the nomination Of his father-in-law as his
successor. 1t being necessary to reelect Presi-
dent Grant in order to preserve the liberties
Of the country, and reform the Civil Service,
and continue the humanitarian Indian policy,
and preserve our national dignity at Vienna,
it followed. of course, that it was necessary to
elect the whole Republican State ticket In
Minnesota the year before the Presidential
election, so as to present what may be
familiar to our readers IA "united
"front." so Munch's father-in-law was elected
10 succeed Munich. Munch's father-in-law.
