An Old-Tims Scandal, and How it Was

From the New Orleans Picayuae.I
About seventy years sgo there lived in
this country very great man. His name
was Alexander Hamilton He had been .
distinguished officer Of the Revelation, and
4 trusted friend and counsellor of the illus
trious Washington. On the organizatioo of
the government, Hamilton became leader
of great political patty, and vas appoint
ed the first Secretary Of the Treasury Of the
United States. He vas the ablest man Who
ever filled that Office. An party leader at
q time Of fierce political excitements, Mr..
Hamilton was the shining marx Of many
bitter aksaulu. His own party was not SLOW
or moderate in its counter. Mr.. Jenerson
vas the target Of the Federal or Hamilsoni-
an diatribes. His private life. too. ~
overh.uled, and his every act distorted into
something criminal q immoral. There ~
no limit to this sort Of abuse on both ride.
At last the Je6ersoaians opened . pretty
piece of scandal assinst Mr.. Hamilton,
which did not even bed coloring OF exag.
geratiou to render it excessively distasteful
to his friends aud damaging to his reputa-
ton.
The story ran thus: A buxom and at
tractive young woman had visited the yoona
and susceptible Secretary Of the Treasury,
and under prstext Of seeking some favor Of
him, had captivaied and seducsd him from
the paths Of duty and morality. An amoo!
of . somewhat extended and complicated
character sprane out OF the affair, which
had gone far enough, however. 70 expose

Mr.. Collins, who has Just been west, In
forms us that the frontier is distressed

was moi good, and the hot winds and grass
hoppers have entirely destroyed all the corn
and vegetables. Hundreds Of settlers will
be OBLIGED to leave the country or starve.
The fact is not in the least exaggerated, We
are convinced, and something must be done
to render assistance to the unfortunate set
tlers, who have ventured into the untried
west for the purpose OF securing homes 1t
is true. some of the old States have this year

The following card from the Governor Of
tie State, was set up for yesterdays issue
but unavoidably crowded out:
TOPEKA, August IL, 1874.
To The Public:
l, ia useless 10 deny the fact that = great
calamity has overtaken the people in soms
parts of the State. The corn crop of many
u the counties has been entirely destroyed
by grasshoppers.
This is especially true in the west, where
the country has been new-settled, and where
he people are lily prepared to bear the loss.
In most Of the State the wheat crop vas ex.
cellent, but the settlers of the past year have
raised no wheat and many of them have
been relying upon their corn for subsistence
through the coming winter. 1t is feared
that in some localities some of the people
will suffer for the want Of the pecessaries OF
life uoless some means can he devised for
their relief.
The Legislature hiss placed 10 funds at nv
disposal which en- be used for that purpose,
but hope to be abe to aid in Carrying out
some plan hereafter to be agreed upon,
which will avert suffering and want. The
first thing TO re done, however, is to obtain
full and reliable statistics from the localities
most severely afil ced, and take this
method Of suggesting fer the convenience Of
the county authorities of the various coun-
ties, az we'll as fer cur information, that the
boards Of county commissioners take imme-
diate step, to ascertain the exact condition
Of sifai,s in their respective counties. Every
family in each Of these COUNT. should be
visited and careful inventory made Of theiz
condition and amount of available effects.
A SYNOPSIS of this should be forsarted to
the Executive Office, with such suggestions as
the commissioners may see ct to make, as to
the means TO be employed fer obtaining the
relief needed.
An investigation already made in some ol
the counties, ha, shown them to be in much
batter CONDITION than vas at frst supposed,
and it is hoped that like investigation
throughout the sections effected, will dist
pate in great degree the fears hitherto en-
ter:ained.
As before intimated, am not clear - to
the means which should be employed to &c.
cure the needed relief. On one point, how
ever, am clear: Kaneas may be poor, bu,
she can and will take care of her own needy.
