OFFICIAL CORRUPTION
A Remedy Proposed.

a RCucuy 1kUpVcCu.
There is probably nothing more
disheartening to the lover of re-
publican liberty, to the citizen
who reveres our free institutions
and whose hope and prayer is
that they may be handed down
70 our posterity in all their origi-
nal purity, than the corruption
that has erept into almost every
avenue of public trust. Uublush-
ing rascality seems nowrto be the
rule. Men elected or appointed
to high places in the service of
the people, seem to lose sight of
patriotism, of honor, of conscience
and Of purity of life, if they ever
had any, and utterly regardless of
the solemnity of an oath and the
obligations they are under to the
people, for the sake of getting
money, commit crimes that in
the walks of private life would
damn the perpetrator to eternal
infamy and consign him to a
felon's cell. Not so with those
Official scoundrels.
Theyaare never punished. The
history of the last two sessions of
Congress shOwsa series of frauds,
bribery and downright stealing
that has disgraced our country
before the civilized world. And
yet the perpetrators of these
crimes are never brought to JUS
tice. Sometime acase more black
and damning than usual, attracts
the attention and excites the in
dignation of the whole country,
and Congress to make some show
of decency, appoints a Commit
tee of investigation" This COM
rnittee goes TO work and, their
whole proceeding is miserable
farce. always resulting in white
washing the accused. AS in the
case of that disgraceful and thiev-
ing "credit mobilier' business,
when the country demanded that
il should be investigated and the
guilty parties exposed, Congress
was compelled to make some
sAnW ola desire to ferret out the
guilty parties. And how did it
result? Why the investigation
had hardly commenced when it
was found that SO many members
nfCongress and other officers high
in the service of the Government,
were themselves implicated in
this Internal raseality, that they
were compelled to stop the inves.
tieation or convict themselves.
And they did stop it with a gen.
erai white washing of each other.
And st the last session of Con.
gress ii was found that whole
sale robbery Of the public treasury
had been going on by a set of
men occupying high official posi-
tions, and a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate. the mat
ter. That cemmitteeafter an at
tempt to go into the matter, re-
ported in substance that the evil
dence was so overwhelming that
said rnbberies had been committed,
and the number of officers of the
government implicated in them
was so great, that the task, of fer
reting them out was SO herculean,
that they asked to be discharged,

There is something worth think

saws of the war of the Rebellion.
as follows: There are ninety.
nine things out of hundred in
that war that you can't account

that it wasn't mans war at all. it
